"Suck It Up, Buttercup"

"Mirabel?" Enrique lets out, surprised to hear and see her there. Laughing amusedly, asking "What are you–?" before he cut himself off, figuring out by himself why she was here.

"Estella," He says instead while she nods at him. "Speaking of Estella, where is she?" Mirabel asks, eager to know where her friend was.

"Ah, well, Ines – my cousin's wife, said she went to buy something from the market. Maybe she's still there," He claimed, the two of them agreeing to go look for her there.

"Are you alone?" Enrique asked as they walked together. "No, I'm with Camilo and Isa," She answered, surprising him a bit.

"Your sister, Isabela?" He asked, a bit of disbelief present in his voice.

"You guys aren't the only ones who crave adventure," Isabela chimed in, popping up and blocking their path.

"Good news," She says before any of the two teenagers could get a word out, "Camilo and I found Estella."

"Not so good news," She then added, making Mirabel and Enrique furrow their eyebrows. "I think he's gonna start being a jealous wreck and I don't have enough money to buy that delicious-looking thing called popcorn to watch the drama unfold!"

Estella was just on her way back after buying the one thing Ines somehow forgot to buy – garlic, a small bag full of it.

"Does she like garlic as much as she loves potatoes?" Estella asked herself, muttering as she eyed the bag she was carrying.

Stopping, Estella finds herself in front of the gigantic window that displays different knickknacks again – the one she saw just yesterday. She smiles as her eyes land on the same thing she saw yesterday.

I'll buy that later. She says to herself in her head, putting up a mental note before turning around to march back to Ines.

"Oop–" She squeaked, bumping into someone. "Sorry! I'm so sorry!" She exclaimed before noticing how the person she bumped into was the same one as yesterday.

"You!" They both said, pointing at each other surprisedly at the same time.

"Sorry, I really need to look at where I'm going," Estella laughed awkwardly, trying to make a joke, and ends up lighting a conversation that two certain people seemed to have seen.

Camilo ended up catching up to Isabela to exchange photos – not that he doesn't trust her with it, he just really wanted it back. And since Isabela was going to try asking somewhere near the market, the two of them ended up seeing her as she stood in front of the shop she was at just a moment ago.

"Wait, there's Mirabel!" Camilo pointed out, catching Isabela's attention, seeing her walking with Enrique. "I'll call them," Isabela said, about to start walking towards the other two before they end up going further away.

"I'll go get–..." Camilo trailed off, as soon as he turned his head his eyes landed on Estella conversing with a boy. She looked happy.

Isabela had a glance at his reaction before continuing to walk and fetch her sister, amusedly talking to herself in her mind, I am so going to tell Dolores about this when we get back.
