~Curtains open~

The crowd cheers as Casita makes a spotlight on the young Madrigal. Alma is standing next to an empty door with a set of parents. It goes quiet as everyone watches the child make their way up to the door. Their head held high, their face straight, and their eyes set on the candle. ???: Just look forward, and ignore everyone. Just like you do every day after causing mischief. This is no different than getting away from harmless pranks. The child's family watches as they walk up the steps. Alma: "Will you use your gift to honor our miracle? Will you serve this community and strengthen our home?" The child nods as they touch the candle. Alma steps back to stand next to the parents as the child walks up to their door and grabs the door nob with no hesitation. The door lights up and shimmers as everyone watches. Unknown to everyone shadows start to surround the young child. Everyone looks confused. The light explodes to show the child as an adult laughing at something.

Child: "What about my birthday?" Alma: "Isn't the gift the miracle enough?" Y/n: "Not when you have to share it with literally everyone else. It's my birthday. I'm allowed to be selfish on my birthday." Isabela: "Here, Y/n. We picked it out." Y/n: "Thanks." Y/n opened up the box and pulls out two floor-length cloaks, one for now and one for when she's older. 

Y/n: "I love it!" Mirabel, Isabela, and Luisa: "Feliz cumpleaños!"
