The whisper fight calmed down as their attention was drawn the stage to see what was going to happen next.

Mirabel went into her room and sat on her bed and pulled out three pieces and looked at them sad and concerned, "Why am I in your vision, Bruno?"

There was a flash of light and thunder and the girl jumped and looked over to where Pepa was suddenly on stage.

"Okay, but I've lived that all the time," Camilo admitted, "It's scary."

Dolores and Antonio nodded in agreement.

Mirabel sighed a little and shoved the pieces in her bag, "Tía! Jeez."

"Sorry. Sorry, I didn't mean to...," Pepa noticed the cloud and waved it out of the room, "shoo, shoo, shoo! I just wanted to get the last of Toñito's things and then I heard the name we do not . Now I'm thundering, and that thunder will lead to a drizzle and a drizzle will lead to a sprinkle..."

Mirabe just watched with a slight concern as her aunt had her breakdown.

"Clear skies, clear skies. Clear skies," Pepa chanted as she calmed herself down.

"Tía Pepa? If... ," the teenager started taking a deep breath, "If he had a vision about someone, what would it mean for them?"

"Do you actually not remember him that much?" Isabela asked surprised to her youngest sister.

"Well, we don't talk about Bruno," Mirabel replied.

"We don't talk about Bruno," was the only reply that came from the older woman.

That caused a little laugh from Gabriela as Mirabel elbowed her again, "Cas sees him I don't."

"I know. It's just hypothetically, if he saw you..." Mirabel continued trying to play it off as just a question.

"Mirabel, please, we need to get ready for the Guzmáns," Pepa replied as she turned to grab a box in the corner.

"Right, my baby is getting engaged!" Julieta smiled not noticing the look of horror on Isabela's face.

"I just wanna know if it was generally positive or, like, less positive..." Mirabel asked as she quickly moved the bag underneath the bed.

"It was a nightmare!" Felix busted into the room dramatically.

Julieta and Agustin gave Felix a look.

"Look, sometimes I get a little caught in the drama," Felix admitted.

"We are the drama, Papi," Camilo added.

Dolores squeaked an agreement.

"Félix!" Pepa scolded as she grabbed his arm.

"Hey, she needs to know, Pepi, she needs to know," He moved her arm and looked at his niece.

"We don't talk about Bruno!" the older woman reminded helplessly.

"He would see something terrible. And then..." Felix paused for dramatic effect, "Boom! It would happen."

"Felix," Abuela warned.

"I mean...." Felix laughed a little.

"I mean remember my wedding Mama," Pepa tried to argue, "It's not like he's here to defend himself anyway."
