"Big Sis Material"

Gasp!

"Oh, my," Estella muttered, watching the rat play Antonio and his Tio Bruno orchestrated with the help of their other family members. And a bit from her, but it's not like she peeked through the script and stuff.

It's been a few weeks since they first aired their first episode on their play – they do one episode a week, and it's the 9th one today.

"Emmanuel, nooo!"

The curtains close, meaning that the play finally ended. Estella felt a child's head lean on her, while the others did the opposite since she was sitting in the front row with most of the kids.

"I feel so betrayed!" Cecilia said dramatically, making Estella laugh at the girl as she lays her head on her lap. "Why did Emmanuel have to leave?" She groaned.

"He and Gabriela were meant for each other!" A different kid exclaimed, also leaning on Estella in disappointment.

"Do you know if they'll get back together, Estella?" Cecilia asked the girl curiously.

"Nope," Estella said, popping the p, laughing at the numerous disappointed groaning. "Even if I did I can't tell you. It'll ruin the whole show," She explained helping someone them up and dusting their clothes.

"Alright, come on now, Cecilia. We're having your favorite for dinner," Cecilia's father spoke, smiling at Estella who did the same at him as he gestures for his daughter to come home with him.

The crowd filled with excited murmurs, all wondering what would happen next. Estella stood up and slid to the back where the others were found, lending a hand in tidying up the props.

"Cliffhangers like that should be banned soon," She said jokingly, making Bruno laugh.

"Well, it is keeping the audience hooked on the show for a while," He tells her picking up his rats with a proud smile.

"You guys did great," He whispered to them.

Estella chuckled at the man's wholesomeness, fixing the small clothes the characters wear and putting them into a small box filled with their other mini costumes.

Mirabel and Antonio hive five each other, happy about the successful show they finished for the night.

After a little bit of chitchat, while they cleaned up, Estella waved goodbye to the Madrigals, watching them all walk back to their house for dinner.

Dusting her hands, Estella was just on her way back to their house, to have dinner with her family as well, also seeing a few people on their way to their homes.

The girl turns her head, hears loud footsteps start approaching her, and sees Camilo running towards her at full speed.

"Why are you–?" She started to speak, wanting to ask why he was running at her when all of a sudden he cuts her off and says: "I forgot to do something."

Furrowing her eyebrows, Estella asked curiously, "What is it?"

But as soon as she did, Camilo leaned forward and planted a kiss on her forehead, catching her off guard.

"Wha–?" She breathed out, already blushing like crazy as Camilo laughs at her facial expression, running back to catch up with his family while he waved at her.

"See you tomorrow!"

"O-okay," She ended mumbling, hesitantly raising her hand to wave back at him before running back home herself.
