Meanwhile in Casita

*Luisa was deeply confused instead of her usual workload she was asked to stay behind. She was on the couch waiting for abuela or anybody to call her*

Antonio:hey Luisa what are you doing here?

*Luisa jumped from her skin as she turned her head seeing Antonio there On top of his jaguar*

Luisa:Antonio what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be playing with your friends?

Antonio:Mirabel was supposed to take me she was going to give them all new clothes as presents

Luisa:oh uh, well that's nice of her

*Luisa said with a forced smile, she counted her lucky stars hearing footsteps coming downstairs*

Pepa:Antonio what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be playing with your friends?

Luisa:uh, Mirabel was supposed to take him
There

Antonio:yeah she was going to give them clothes too

*Agustin and Julieta flinched at that and alma hummed*

Alma:oh that's so sweet, I'm sure she'll give them to them some other time, right now she's.....busy I told her I needed her help with something

Antonio;why? You always tell her to stay out of the way

*Antonio asked innocently as only a young child could. The whole family froze even alma had to take a step back not expecting that*

Alma: I...uh....a..a umm

*Alma was left by completely speechless by the words of a 5 year old boy. Felix coughed and stepped up*

Felix:well, your abuela wanted her to do something very special, how about I take you do your friends?

Antonio:it's ok, I'll just wait for her to come back, why do you need Luisa here? Normally she would be helping that mean man

Alma;mean man? What mean man?

Luisa:oh uh it's nothing right now is usually when I carry serñor Raymond's stuff to the market

*Antonio got a face as if he was thinking about something really hard when he snapped his fingers*

Antonio;oh! I can find a horse! Yeah me And Mirabel can go to the forest find a horse for the mean man that way you won't have to help him anymore and stand the mean words he's always calling you

Agustín:mean words? What does he call you? Why didn't you tell us about this ?

Antonio:Mirabel did though? Yeah she's been telling you all since I was this old

*Antonio pulled out 3 fingers again is just magical how a kid can just cut right through the bullshit. The adults expression changed to a sadder one but alma clapped her hands*

Alma: we're.... we're getting off tracked I'll talk to serñor Raymond tomorrow about how he acts if he can't change then I'll ban him from our services. Now uh

Julieta:Luisa

Alma:Luisa, Luisa yes yes I know, of course I know, I'm not gonna forget my own grandchildren's name

*Alma said feeling flustered as she turned around and started walking upstairs with the rest of the family joining her*

Alma:now Luisa let's start with moving Mirabel sowing machine

Antonio:why are you moving it? Is Mirabel getting her own room?

Alma:in a way yes.

*Alma said thankful that Antonio asked such a simple question*
