Amelia pov
Today was a new day I was in the town square sitting near the fountain reading another book but it was called sleeping beauty.
It's quiet and peaceful Papa keeps saying I need to do more than read but he doesn't understand really he never really has and always telling me what to do what not to do is not the best thing in the world.
All of sudden I hear screaming and I see Maria riding a pig while leading a whole bunch of pigs in the town square I take my book and sit on the fountain ledge so I don't get injured.
My papa is not so pleased "Maria!!!!!" But as he yells that name he is trampled by pigs.
Manolo and Joaquin falls off one of the pigs and lands straight into the fruit basket I laugh and Manolo looks over to me and waves.
My father gets up but sees a very angry hog about to charge at my father I looked at the hog with terror and instead of it charging at my father it charges at me towards the fountain ledge it comes at it but it knocks me and my book into the fountain. I look up to see Joaquin fighting it as well as Manolo.
Manolo is doing fantastic and as well as Joaquin.
Manolo finished the pig but still my father is angry. "Maria!!!!Amelia!!" He goes over to her and Manolo helps me out of the fountain and I see my story book is destroyed it was my favorite thing in the whole world.
I try not to cry and go over to papa and I see Manolo concerned for us. " you two I have had enough!! You two are going to Spain where you Maria can act more lady like and you Amelia to not only read books." I gasped "but papa this is our home." I look to see Manolo's guitar is broken " oh no" I grabbed it. "Papa this is unfair" says Maria "you two are going and that is final!"
I couldn't take it anymore.
I ran home crying I hear Maria calling me "Amelia !!!" I didn't listen I went to my room and cried I looked at the guitar and thought I could give Manolo something to remember.
"Amelia?" I hear my sister open the door she too was crying her eyes were all puffy and her nose was stuffy.
I looked at her "yes Maria?" She ran up to me "I'm so sorry I never meant for us to leave this is all my fault!"
I grabbed her hand and said "this was never you're fault you never knew the outcome to this and I forgive even though there is nothing to be forgiven as long as I have you by my side we will be okay."
We hugged and she went to her room to go pack her things I on the other hand had to make something for Manolo.At the train station
Maria and I are about to leave and we said goodbye to papa as we start to walk away I hear two voice.
"Maria! Amelia!" We turn around to see Manolo and Joaquin running over to us.
I grabbed the gift I made for Manolo and they came to us with sad smiles. "It's upsetting to see you go Maria we will always miss you." Joaquin says
Manolo comes up to Maria "here's a present for you two to remember the us here" there was a cute baby pig he was so adorable Maria hugged the baby pig "I'll name him chuy!!" I giggled and said "hello chuy you are the cutest baby pig ever!" I smiled.
Then Manolo gave me a box and in it, it had a storybook I hugged him "thank you so much!!" I looked over to Manolo and gave him a box " Manolo I made this for to remember us."
He opened it and had a huge smile "a new guitar thank you Amelia it's amazing." Joaquin looked at the presents " wait we were suppose to bring presents?" We all laughed and hugged.
As we got on the train I held Maria's hand and we saw Manolo and Joaquin running to us.
"Maria when you return I will fight for you!!" Then Manolo came running. " and I will play for you !!!" As train goes faster our town, our home..... Disappeared.
