-"'Cause I will wait"

-"I will wait for you" Manolo sang and played his guitar along with the Mariachis playing other instruments.

-"And I will wait, I will wait for you" a crowd had formed around them as they sang.

-"And I will wait, I will wait for you"

-"I will wait, I will..." he was soon interrupted.

-"I will not wait for you!" his father pulled him by the ear away from the crowd.

-"Papa! I was on my way!" Manolo told him as he was dragged away.

After years of training Manolo would have his first official bullfight. His dad had organized and planned everything, knowing his son was ready to be in the arena. And as luck would have it, the fight happen to fall on the day Y/n would return.

-"Wait, Papa!" Manolo yelled at his father, who at the moment was dragging Manolo to the arena prep room.

-"Playing all night with those Mariachi brothers?"

-"You want to end up like these bozos?" his father threw him into the room.

-"Okay Manny! Uh...we'll wait outside" one of the marichi brother's tried to follow after him. But his face smashed against the door when Manolo's father slammed the door closed.

-"I don't think Mr. Sanchez likes us" the shortest brother said.

-"You think?" the eldest asked.

-"Quiet you lazy bums!" Mr. Sanchez (Manolo's father) yelled and threw a sword at the door. The 3 brother's screamed as they backed up from the door.

-"You live under my roof, you live under my rules!" Mr. Sanchez threw Manolo's guitar to the corner of the room and replaced it with two swords.

-"You will be a matador!"

-"Papa, this is my life" Manolo told him.

-"All the Sanchez's are bullfighters"

-"Every single one of us"

-"I was a beast in the arena...A BEAST!!" his grandma told him.

-"It's in your blood! It's your destiny!" his father held his shoulders.

-"How many times do I have to say it?" his father asked.

-"This is you" Manolo replied and went to pick up his guitar putting it on his back like the swords.

-"Ah, my son"

-"Joaquin may be the hero of the town,"

-"But today you will be the hero of the ring, if--for once--you actually finish the bull" his father held a sword at hand.

-"But he finished a bull the other day at practice!" the eldest mariachi replied excitedly.

-"That did not count!" the grandma stated bluntly.

-"The bull was killed by lightning! Of course it didn't count!" Mr. Sanchez told them.

-"No! Killing the bull is wrong!" Manolo argued.

-"Here we go again!" his father said, annoyed and in defeat.

-"Kids today, with their long hair and their no killing stuff" his grandma said as she continued her knitting.

-"I'm outta here" Manolo turned to leave but was stopped by his father's words.
