Bluey's World

A Festival of Love

Everybody in the Casa Rivera is setting up for the Día de los Muertos festival as Branch's cousins and the BroZone are decorating the place with papercut banners, the women are cooking mole and other Mexican dishes, the men are setting up the place with other decor and Branch is setting up something in the living room.

"Abuelo, you got the ladder, right?" One cousin asked.

"We got the ladder hijo," Branch's cousin Brando said.

Celestia entered the Casa with a happy look on her face.

"Thanks for inviting us to your Día de los Muertos celebration, Branch," Celestia said.

"My tiya really invited you because she wants you all to join in the fun," Branch said.

"Is there anything we can help you with?" She asked.

"My tiya and the women need help with the cooking," He said.

"Okay, I can help with that," Celestia smiled.

"You might have to learn first about Mexican dishes or you'll cause epic fail," Branch warned.

"Don't worry, I have experience!" She said.

"I can help with that," His aunt said as she took to the kitchen.

A limoscene arrived at the door. Rose, Poppy, Viva, Billy Reverb, Val Thundershock, Holly Darlin', Dante Crescendo, Synth, and Lownote Jones got out of the limo and entered the casa. The Snack Pack and their labelmates also tagged along with them.

"Mija Rosita, you're here to celebrate the fiesta with us, your grandma came early to help out!" Tiya Victoria said.

"We are honored to celebrate with the entire Mexican community ever since I got my first exposure to the festival back on my visit  in Mexico," Rose said. "I even had marigold earrings to wear for this day."

"Your ofrenda looks beautiful!" Poppy said as she looked at an altar decorated with photographs of Branch's family members. Rose noticed a picture of an elderly woman with dark brown curly hair and brown skin.

"So, this is Grandma Roisepuff? Grandma once introduced me to her," Rose said as she pointed to the picture.

"Si, she is my dearest amiga," Tiya Victoria said. "My brother is lucky to marry my best friend, and bless his soul."

Soon The Heeler family, who are holding two photographs, came into Casa.

"Thank you for coming to the Día de los Muertos celebration, Heelers," Branch said.

"And thank you for inviting us, Here is a photo of my mum," Chilli said, holding a photo of her mum.

"And my dad," Bandit said, holding a photo of Bob.

"Wait, when did this happen?!" Poppy asked.

"He passed away back in September," Bandit sighed.

"One day before 9/11," Bluey piped in.

"I have a picture of the grandfather I never met, my dad's dad," Rose added. "It's only small because I cannot bring his painted portrait to the festival and grandma Celestia would want me to add him."

"We'll see where we can put them in the ofrenda," Abuelita said as she put the pictures to the altar. Rose placed a tray with a tea set on the altar beside her grandfather's portrait.

"Woah. I can't wait to see Grandpa Bob again and meet our grandma on mum's side!" Bluey said.

"Don't tell me you're gonna do a seance to talk to them?" Chilli asked.
