It was time for Antonio to get his gift! Everyone made a little path so he could walk through. Julieta came to your side and held your hand while you had your other hand on camilos shoulder.
You wondered where Mirabel was? She wasn't anywhere in the crowd.. you just hope that she's okay

Abuela took a deep breath before turning around to face the crowd
"Fifty years ago, in our darkest
moment, this candle blessed us with a miracle...
And the greatest honor of our
family has been to use our
blessings to serve this beloved
community. Tonight, we come
together once more as another steps
into the light... to make us proud."

Then the curtains move to reveal Antonio and Casita also makes the tiles go red. Everyone starts clapping and cheering but However Antonio doesn't move, he's nervous. He turns to the side and outstretched his hand towards... Mirabel?

"I can't..." You could hear her
"I need you.." Antonio says. Mirabel and Antonio were really good together you cant lie. Mirabel then walked out from behind the walls and took him hand

She made eye contact with you as everyone around gasped. You smiled and nodded to tell her that it would be okay. You were like older sister Mirabel always wanted. The Night she didn't get her gift you let her sleep in your room, you were there for her as she cried... she was so excited to get her gift that it broke her and your heart seeing the door disappear.

"Come on, let's get you to your door." She said and Antonio hugged her arm as they walked up to Alma and His parents.

When they got up Alma asked Antonio some questions and then he held the candle. It felt like everyone stopped breathing
Antonio placed his hand on the doorknob.. and it started to glow.. you let out a breath you were holding knowing that it worked

You saw everyone from the grandchildren in La Casa Madrigal get thier gifts this wasn't anything new but still. It was good to know the magic still works.

Suddenly a toucan lands on his hand and says something to Antonio. Antonio nods "uh-huh, uh-huh. I understand you!" He said. Toucan then flys on his other arm. "Of course they can come!"

Then all sorts of animals start coming into Casita and into his room. "We have a new gift!"
Everyone starts to clap and shout.
Even the fireworks from outside could be heard, but before they could explode you made sure to cover Dolores's ears. "Thanks" she Whispers

Antonio entered his room with every step his room got even bigger. Everyone starts to get inside you could even hear some kids in the background "it's bigger on the inside?!"

They were right. He has a hole tree in his room. All of the sudden a jaguar runs in his room and skups Antonio up on his back. They run around the tree for a while before coming back down.

You stood by Mirabels side watching from behind. When Antonio came back Pepa and Felix
Hugged him right away, while the jaguar jumps onto Agustìn.

Alma hurries over to Antonio, proud and relieved. She pulls him in for a hug. "I knew you could do it! A gift just as special as you.." she says

You turned to look at Mirabel, she had a smile that soon faded after Alma said that. You held her hand as she continued to look at her family. You knew she felt like she wasn't a part of her family because she had no gift. She always tried to avoid her feelings.. but now? Her walls are crashing one by one

"We need a picture! Come, come, come, come! It's a
great night, it's a perfect night." Alma cheers as everyone from the family gets closer to get thier picture..but Mirabel was still the infront of you.."Mirabel-?"
"LA FAMILIA MADRIGAL!"

The family took thier photo but this time not just without you but without Mirabel too? That's too much. She's always been there how could they do such a thing?
