It's Mirabel's birthday

Mirabel was turning 15

It's a good thing Mirabel is having a spanish jewish quinceanera instead of a colombian quinceanera that she is supposed to have

Mirabel hears a voice shouting

"I'm gonna be 15! It's the most maravillosa birthday in my life! If I don't have an awesome quinceanera my reputation is ruined! I won't go to college!"

Mirabel shuddered

Mirabel arrived at the de Leon Residence and knocked on a door

Mrs. de Leon opened a door

Mrs. de Leon said "Happy Birthday Mirabel!"

Mirabel said "Thank you Mrs. de Leon"

Mirabel walked into the de Leon house

Mirabel sees her cake and presents

Mirabel squealed in delight

Mr. de Leon said "Mirabel we're sorry your parents missed your quinceanera"

Mirabel said "That's okay guys it all started with my 5th birthday"

Mirabel tell the de Leons everything about the gifting ceremony

The de Leons were heartbroken, disgusted and angry at the Madrigal family and the villagers' neglect and cruel treatment towards poor Mirabel

Senora Gonzales, the Jimenezes, the Marquezes and the Fuentes were worried about the Madrigal family's toxic behavior

Manny said "Mirabel I'm sorry that happened to you don't worry I got something to show you"

Manny grabs Mirabel's hand and pulls her

Quinceanera Mirabel transition

Manny opened a door

Manny said "🎶 Tada 🎶"

Mirabel gasped as she sees the ghosts of Senor Jimenez and Alita's parents

Senor Jimenez and Alita's parents said "Mirabel!"

Senor Jimenez and Alita's parents hugged Mirabel

Mirabel said "Guys what is that?"

Senor Jimenez said "It's a gifting ceremony for a young woman for you"

Mirabel said "For me"

Tears of joy filled Mirabel's eyes

Mr. Sanchez said "I knew your family ignore you, neglect you and harm you"

Mr. Sanchez wipes the tears from Mirabel's eyes

Mrs. Sanchez said "For someone who is your family they sure don't understand you and haven't know you very well you're kind, you're smart, you're talented, you're optimistic and most of all you're not gonna get hurt by a monster like Alma Madrigal"

Mirabel smiles

Mirabel walked to a glowing door

Mirabel recalls of her failed gift ceremony and her door disappeared

Mirabel closes her eyes and takes a deep breath

Mirabel thought 'I gotta believe in myself I'm special gift or no gift"

Mirabel opens a glowing door and sees ghostly blue butterflies

Mirabel's eyes widened and were filled with sparkles

The ghostly blue butterflies kissed Mirabel
