Encanto (Journey to the past)

A song from the heart

"Okay, so this route should get us where we need to go," Mirabel stated as she traced the map.

Agustín nodded "That's right. hopefully, the weather should be fine while you travel,"

"Good, and you made sure to ask for a crate for Chapa?" Asked Zano.

"That's right and this letter assures that you'll be ready to head out first thing in the morning" Confirmed Agustín holding the letter.

"I better get packing then. C'mon Chapa you can hang in my room while you wait for Miguel," Mirabel said to the jaquin who eagerly followed the bespectacled teen.

As soon as they left, the rest of the Madrigals came back to pack and have dinner. While heading up to pack and wash. Miguel started telling Zano all about his day.
"It was just like they said, Zano. A whole village of people surrounded by magic mountains," Miguel said as he washed his face.

"That's nice," Zano said as he dried Miguel's face.

"Yeah the stalls were like the farmers market back home but there is a painting of the family" puts the towel down "teeth"

Miguel brushes his teeth.

Zano: "Glad you had fun" when Miguel spits into the sink Zano continued "Now make sure you have all your stuff packed we leave first thing in the morning," he said as they head to Antonio's room.

"Okay, ¿Donde es Chapa?" He Asked wondering where his flying companion went.

"He's in Mirabel's room," stated Zano "they've bonded"

"Oh, Mirabel! Maybe I can ask her about Casita?"

This made Zano curious "Why?"

"I want to learn more about the miracle,"

"You can ask her on our way back to San Angel,"

"Okay, can you sing the song before we go?"

"What for?"

"Well going into town was fun but I didn't hear that much music"

"Miguel I'm sure you can find something on the gramophone,"

"But I wanted to see how the Encanto responds to music just like in their stories,"

"Then ask your Abuelo,"

"But we're leaving soon I want to leave a song for the rest of the family till they join us," as he said that Casita made the floor tiles move in agreement and wanted to hear a new song.

"See even Casita agrees," Zano sighed at Miguel's insistence. "Miguel start packing and go to bed," Zano said as they reached Mirabel's door, "I'll be back to help" Zano goes to his temporary room.

"Night," Miguel said as he knocked on the door. Mirabel opens it and smiles at her primo.

"Hey Miguel, Chapa was just talking about you," she said as he walked in and goes to Chapa.

"Hi," he said as he hugged his winged friend.

"What's wrong?" She asked sending his low mood.

"We have to leave now,"

"Oh, and you wish you had more time,"

"Not exactly, I do want Abeulo to see my Papa but I just wish I could leave a song for the rest of the family,"

"That's so sweet Miguel, I'm sure everyone would love to hear it," she said petting the boy's head.

"I wish I could, but I don't remember all the words and I can't play guitar yet I'm too little,"
