"Mirabel" Abuela called sternly as I looked back at her
"If you can't pay attention, I will help you" Abuela said
"Actually" Mirabel said before getting cut off
"Casita" Abuela called as Casita quickly moved the chairs and placed Mirabel on where I was and we slid to occupy the space
"As I was saying, we must never take our miracle for granted" Abuela continued as I noticed Mirabel leaning on her chair to look at Luisa again, having me make her cloud push her back in place
"So today, we will work twice as hard" Abuela added
"Hmm, and I will help Luisa" Mirabel said in a hurry as she pushed her chair back only to get slammed right back in as Abuela said "stop"
"First, an announcement" Abuela stated as she stood up
"I've spoken to the Guzman's about Mariano's proposal to Isabela" Abuela said, cupping Isabela's face gently
"Dolores, do we have a date?" Abuela asked as Dolores tried to focus
"Tonight, he wants five babies" Dolores said before going back to eating as I slightly choked on my drink and had caused Isabela to be shocked at the sentence, involuntarily growing flowers on her hair
"Wonderful, such a fine young man with our perfect Isabela will bring a new generation of magical blessing and make both our families stronger" Abuela said, picking up the lone white flower and fixing Isa's hair as Camilo shifted into Mariano and teased Isabela which caused her to flick flowers his way, getting a few into his mouth
"Okay, our community is counting on us. La Familia Madrigal!" Abuela exclaimed
"La Familia Madrigal" We followed as everyone went their own ways
I sighed, as I also left the table and conjured a few clouds to send to the town and had my own carry me to the borders again. It gets a bit lonely being up here time and time again without anyone to join you
"Prima! Prima!" Antonio called as his cloud flew to where I am
"Antonio, what are you doing up here? I thought I told you not to fly so high until you're older?" I softly scolded as he had a few bird friends with him
"But they told me that you look lonely up here so I asked Abuela if I could join you. That way we can look around the encanto together and you won't be alone anymore" Antonio said as my heart warmed at his innocent and kind gesture
"Thank you, Tonito" I said as our clouds flew side by side, circling around the mountains, trying to see if anyone is in trouble or there are more refugees wanting to join us
"Don't you get scared being high up like this, cousin Elisa?" Antonio asked as he peeked down a bit before tensing up a little at how high up we are
"Well, I was scared when I first started but I got used to it after years of doing the same thing" I said
"It's not like I have anything to do with my clouds other than using it to carry stuff or float you away" I added
"That's not true, my friends told me you used to surf around the air with your clouds, even transporting a couple refugees from the other side of the mountain to inside the encanto" Antonio debated as I just chuckled
"You do know I only did that because your brother, Camilo, dared me to, don't you?" I said with a slight laugh as Antonio eagerly nodded
"Hey, if it isn't my favorite cousin!" Camilo's voice said as his cloud approached us
"What takes you here, Cami?" I asked, crossing my arms
"What? Can't visit my prima and younger brother, see how they are doing?" Camilo interjected
"Did you at least finish your chores or asked Abuela for permission before going here? I can't have Abuela making me take away your cloud again" I stated
"Well, yes, I did" Camilo proudly said as I narrowed my eyes at him
"Good, let's go, Tonito, we still have to do a second trip around the borders for security measures" I said as Antonio's and mine's clouds left Camilo baffled in his own cloud
