Mirabel gathered her entire family into the kitchen where you were currently standing nervously. You watched them arrive one by one, your heart pounding with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness. You were really thrown on the spot here.

Mirabel's voice, filled with a mixture of excitement and determination, resonated through the air.
"Everyone, there is something strange and new that's come to our Encanto today, She has a gift!" Mirabel now gives you the floor...

The Madrigals gathered, their eyes filled with curiosity and a shared sense of wonder. You stood in the center, feeling a mix of anxiety yet also a deep sense of responsibility to showcase your gift, they had to know, this is one reason why you came here in the first place.

With a deep breath, you let the magic flow through your fingertips. The air seemed to shimmer with a soft, golden glow, and before their eyes, the room filled with an array of wondrous, enchanted sweets and candies. The room seemed to come alive with color and light, as if it had been touched by a bit of new magic.

Gasps of astonishment and delight echoed through the room. The Madrigals looked on in awe, their faces illuminated by the radiant display of your gift. Isabela's eyes sparkled with joy, Luisa let out a hearty laugh of approval, and Pepa's smile was like a ray of sunshine.

Camilo clapped his hands in delight. "This is amazing!" he exclaimed, his eyes sparkling with genuine admiration. You've become nervous now.

Bruno, the enigmatic figure who had watched from the shadows, seemed momentarily moved by your display. His eyes held a glimmer of something that resembled wonder, a rare sight indeed.

Abuela, the heart and soul of the family, looked on with a mixture of fear and coldness before her expression quickly changing, "You truly are a gift, mi niña," she said, her voice filled with a false warmth.

but despite that, in this moment, surrounded by the Madrigal family, you felt a profound sense of belonging. your gift, once a source of solitude and longing, had become a beacon of connection and love. You knew that you had found not only a family but a legacy that would forever be intertwined with your own.

As the room filled with laughter and shared wonder as the family began to dig into the candy you've presented to them, you knew that this was where you were meant to be. Among the Madrigals, your magic had found a home. Right?

You see Abuela leave the room with Julie,
Before you can ask what's wrong with Abuela Camilo caught your attention. Camilo, ever the showman, he playfully twirled around the room, his eyes gleaming with mischief.
"This is going to be so much fun!" he exclaimed, a whirlwind of energy and enthusiasm. The lightest of blush crossed your face.

Unbeknownst to you, your blush had sparked a whimsical transformation. Slowly but surely, two small, translucent gummy bear ears sprouted from the top of your head, their vibrant colors matching the candies you once crafted in your London shop.

Camilo was the first to notice, unable to contain his amusement, he leaned in closer to you,
"You know, your ears are looking rather... sweet," he teased, a grin dancing on his lips.

You blinked in surprise, your hand instinctively reaching up to touch the gummy bear ears.
"Huh?" You stammered, your confusion evident. You hadn't even noticed the strange transformation that had taken place. You tried taking them off your head but they wouldn't move. Little did you know, that little comment of Camelo's made them stronger.
The rest of the family laughed in delight at the sight of you, embarrassment was now your leading emotion as you excused yourself and went to stand at the front of the house to get some air and hope your ears will disappear.
