December 28. the most important day yet. do you know why? because it was camilo's fifth birthday. the birthday where he would be given his gift. waking up in the morning with excitement for the day. a smile plastered on his face as he looked over to his prima and best friend - mirabel. who had sat up, rubbing her eyes and grabbing her glasses. camilo could feel himself physically vibrating. once she had her glasses on mirabel looked over and saw his excitement which caused her to smile as well. "it's today?" mirabel asked. "it's today!" camilo happily replied.
everybody in the family had a gift. well.. except mamí. camilo didn't know why she didn't get one but neither he or mirabel has seen her do anything special like luisa can lift a boulder with one hand and isabella can make flowers appear out of thin air. so, obviously mamí didn't have one but mirabel and camilo? yeah, they for sure will get one!
today camilo will get his gift and then months from now; mirabel will get hers!
and the two will help out in town like the others. no matter what their gifts are and even after the two no longer share a room they will always be friends!
after being dressed camilo moved to run out of the nursery but then felt a tab on his shoulder and looked to see mirabel smiling as she was holding something behind her. "it's your birthday.. so, I.. well, I made you something." she told him before holding up this mask she made using a paper plate, a popsicle stick and colored paper. it looked exactly like mirabel!
"you made this?" camilo then asked her as he accepted the gift.
mirabel smiled and gave a nod "hmhm!" as camilo was looking at the paper plate mask.
camilo continued to look at it for a moment before flipping it over and holding up in front of his face. "oh! look at me! I'm mirabel!" he mimicked his prima's voice causing her to laugh. "that's not how I sound!" mirabel retorted "nah-uh! that's totally how you sound!" camilo replied. "so not!" "so too!"
these two besties joking, having a laugh. it was a good day today. surely nothing could ever ruin this day or break these two apart. absolutely nothing bad is going to happen. camilo and mirabel will be best buds forever!
running out of the nursery, through the halls, down the stairs.
pepa and felix were big on birthday celebrations. balloons, cake, presents. a whole fun day that the child would enjoy and for camilo that also meant hanging out with mirabel: not just his parents and sister. camilo still holding onto the paper plate mask that mirabel made as they reached the bottom of the stairs - "wait! you two forgot your bags!" the two toddlers stopped when they heard the voice before looking over to see.. luisa. mirabel's older sister who is nine years old but managed to carry both of the bags with no problem.
mirabel covered her face with her hands in embarrassment for forgetting about it while camilo was slightly confused, "wait I don't have a-" "oops! that one was supposed to be a surprise!" luisa awkwardly rubbed the back of her head before handing a backpack -
