Mirabel, busted, looks back to Abuela, who moves on. The kids look back to Mirabel, feeling like they've been duped.

Innocent Cecilia: "You didn't get a gift?"

'Now I do' Mirabel thinks smiling softly.

Mirabel opens her mouth to try to spin this bad news, but-- a guy approaches with a donkey laden with supplies.

"Oh, that part" she mumbles but unfortunately Julieta hears it and gives Mirabel a concerned look. Mirabel just waves at the TV in a 'just watch' motion.

Donkey Delivery Guy: "Mirabel? Delivery! I gave you the "special" since you're the only Madrigal kid with no gift. I call it the "not special" special. Since uh, since you have no gift."

Crickets. The kids just stare at Mirabel. A beat.

"Did he just say that?!" suddenly Julieta asked incredulously with concealed anger.

Mirabel: (just fake grins with awkwardness and hidden sorrow & disappointment) "Thanks."

Donkey Delivery Guy: "Ooo and tell Antonio good luck. Last gift ceremony was a bummer."

"YOU DID NOT JUS--" Isabela started but got interrupted by the next dialogue.

(Leaves, returns) "Last one being yours that did not work."

"I WILL KILL THAT F******* SON OF A--"  Julieta and Isabela stand up suddenly and say it at the same time.

"MOM! ISA!" Mirabel yelped and jumped out of her seat to close Antonio's poor innocent ears but it was of no use, "It's fin--"

"Don't you dare say fine young lady! Your mom is right! Can I join in killing him by electrocuting or drowning or--" Pepa asked enthusiastically.

"Me too!" Bruno calls out.

All this time Abuela was silent but then she just burst, "HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT TO--" She cleared her throat, "If anyone knows where he lives please inform me. We need to have a little... chat."

"Um... I know where he lives but I want to talk to him too" Luisa answered.

"Of course--"

"You guys can talk later but how do you plan to get out of this room without your powers? You have to complete this movie so watch!" Mirabel scolded slightly but inside she was really touched that her family cared like this for her, especially her Abuela. She removes her hands from Antonio's ears.

He leaves. Innocent Cecilia looks at Mirabel.

Innocent Cecilia: "If I was you, I'd be really sad."

"Me too Mira" Antonio says sadly.

Mirabel: "Well, my little friend I am not, because the truth is, gift or no gift, I am just as special as the rest of my family."

"Yes you are" Abuela says with a smile. Her smile wipes off her face, "I am so sorry for not seeing it before--"

"It's fine! Really. You have said it sooo many times already and I forgive you! Don't worry" (A/N: be happy ;D) Mirabel consoles.

All around Mirabel her amazing family does amazing things. The kids look at her like she's delusional.

Camilo raised one of his eyebrows,"Yeah...you are not convincing anyone prima"

"Oh shut up"

Isabela: "Who wants more pink?"

Luisa: "Alright guys, where do I drop the wagon?

Innocent Cecilia: "Maybe your gift is being in denial."

Everyone bursts out laughing. "Got to say though, that was not a bad idea" Bruno comments


Mirabel thinks about that as more flowers bloom and a rainbow appears over the house.

Pepa (off-screen): "I made a rainbow!"

"Pepa...." Julieta and Bruno tease their elder(?) sister. Pepa blushes and feels a bit embarrassed. Rest of the madrigals laugh at their banter.

Hey guys, I am really sorry to announce this, but I just don't have the motivation to continue. I am facing a really huge writer's block and I am not able to juggle with my tasks very well, so I am discontinuing this book.

So this is my last chapter that was in my draft for a while (a looooonng while, so sorry for that 😓). For now.

Also, do NOT try to copy my work, please. I did it with my sincere dedication and hardwork and would appreciate if you respect that. Thank you 😊



I am really sorry guys. I know how it feels when someone stops writing a story and leaves it unfinished. So I sincerely apologize to all my readers. 😞😞

Thank you all for staying with me for so long :)
I love you guys ❤️😘

Signing out,
