When the Jedi Council learned of the Madrigals' origins, they decided to send a clone squad to Skako Minor to locate the crashed ship they arrived in.

After a look at the navigation records, the clones confirmed the ship had indeed come from a Separatist cruiser flown in a recent battle. Unfortunately, the Jedi Council had to break some news to the Madrigal family.

Qui-Gon brought the Madrigals to the doors of the Council Chamber.

"Now don't worry. The Council can feel intimidating at first, but they are good people."

But when they Madrigals entered...

They all started screaming when they saw so many beings that were obviously not humans. Camilo even jumped into Mila's arms. The Council immediately got concerned when they saw how frightened the Madrigals were.

"Now, now, settle down." Qui-Gon said as calmly as possible. "There's no need to be frightened."

"What are those things?" Camilo said.

"Most of what I see here are not humans or Togrutas." said Mila, still holding her cousin. "Unless Togrutas have different forms."

"No. Master Shaak Tii is the only Togruta on the Council." Mace said, via hologram. That only seemed to freak the Madrigals out even more.

Mila dropped Camilo and approached the hologram.

"How is this possible?" Mila ran her hand through Mace's hologram. "You're here, but not here?"

"It is called holo-transmission." said Master Mundi. "I am Master Ki-Adi Mundi. My species is called Cerea."

"There's no need to be frightened of us." Kit said. "We are all harmless."

So, before going any further, the rest of the Jedi Council calmly told the Madrigals their names and what species they were. And after being given a couple of explanations on why they looked the way they did, the human family started to calm down some more.

"So, all of you came to be part of this Order when you were babies?" Mirabel said. "None of you knew your families?"

"I did have one once." Ki-Adi said, looking saddened. "To put it simply, the male population on my planet was low, thus I was granted an exception for marriage, only to lose my wives and my children."

"We're so sorry." said Bruno. "I know how it hurts to lose a child. I don't even know if Rosella is okay now."

"Which is what led to them being here." said Mace.

"My squad has also looked into how these people arrived." said Master Koth. "Unfortunately, the cruiser they came from was destroyed in battle. And I'm afraid whatever portal they came from was as well."

"WHAT?!" the Madrigals gasped in horror.

Without that portal, they had no way of getting back to their own world. Even if they found and rescued Rosella, how would they get back home? What if they were stuck in this other world forever? Who would watch over the rest of the Madrigal family? How would Camilo's family take this news? Or Mirabel's? And what about Alicia when she realized her husband and all three of her children were gone?

The Madrigals started to shout and panic in Spanish, and although the Council couldn't understand really anything they were saying, they could sense and see very clearly that they were distressed. However, Master Yoda held out his hand and sent a calming energy through the Force.

"Calm down, you must all." said the Grand Master. "Help you the best we can, we will."

It seemed a bit odd to hear and see a creature that rearranged its speech in such a manner, but Mila especially found it fascinating and didn't hesitate to start sketching some of the interesting species she saw in the room into her journal.

The Jedi Council told the Madrigals that they would allow them to stay in the Temple for as long as they needed and help them find work. Being from a completely different universe, it was obvious they wouldn't have Republic credits on them. Thus, they asked what skills each of them possessed.

Camilo showed off his shapeshifting ability.

"I'm great at sewing, knitting, and embroidery." said Mirabel. "Basically, anything with fabrics and threads."

"I happen to be very skilled in every subject in school, if any younger Jedi need tutors. Especially in math, science, or physics. I do a lot of handiwork too."

"I can see into the future," said Bruno. "And I learned a few cooking techniques from mi hermana Julieta."

"Hermana means 'sister.'" Mila explained.

"Find proper work for you, we shall." Yoda said.

"Master Windu and Kenobi tell us you have powers of your own?" said Ki-Adi.

"Si, yes." Bruno said. "Mila is a telepath, I see the future, Camilo shapeshifts, as you know. And Pedro sees dreams."

"I don't have magic of my own." Mirabel added. "But I'm the guardian of the magic that surrounds our home."

Mila snapped her fingers, which she usually did when she had a new idea.

"Papa! What if you look into the future? Maybe that could help us find Rosella."

But Bruno wasn't so sure that was such a good idea.

"I might see something none of us want to see." Bruno said.

But the Jedi Council was interested to see how Bruno's power worked.

"Even if I wanted to, which I don't, I need sand to use my gift."

"We do have sand available in another part of the Temple." Master Plo said.

Mila looked at her father.

"It may be our best shot at knowing where we can find Rosella." Mila said. "There's no point in trying to find a way home if we can't find Rosella. The Encanto wouldn't be home without her."

So, a couple trips with some buckets, a trip to the garden, and a gathering of some leaves and a match later, Bruno made a circle of sand in the Council Chamber and had everyone: his family, the physically present Council members, Qui-Gon, and Boba, sit in a circle.

Bruno took a breath as he sat down and lit a match, which he used to light three piles of leaves and sand that surrounded a bigger pile of leaves. He had Mila and Qui-Gon, who sat on either side of him hold his hands, and everyone else joined hands as well as Bruno shut his eyes and concentrated.

Back in the Encanto, Bruno's door began to glow as he was using his gift. For Alicia, and anyone else who happened to walk by, it served as a sign that he was alive.

A strong wind began to blow within the Council Chamber as the sand began to form a large dome surrounding the group.

The groups saw a vision of clones. Some fighting Jedi, others fighting each other. There was then a vision of Anakin with Padme, caressing what looked like a very pregnant stomach of hers, but then the vision showed him tossing and turning in his sleep.

"Espera, why is Anakin in this vision?" Camilo asked.

"I have no idea, but it could be important." Mila said. "Anything could be an important clue."

The vision continued on. The group then saw something else. Rosella.

"Rosella!" Pedro said. "She's alive!"

Except, in the vision, Rosella had a butterfly shaped mark on her face, and there was someone with her. An evil-looking woman with moth wings.

"Who is that woman?" Mirabel asked. "Why does she have Rosella?"

And then Grievous was in the vision too.

"She must be the one for whom Grievous kidnapped your daughter for." said Qui-Gon to Bruno.

"But why is the question." Mila said.

"It's not giving any answers." Bruno said. "I have to stop."

"No! Not yet Papa. There must be something else."

Then, the vision changed, and something appeared that Boba recognized immediately.

"Kamino." Boba gasped. "Why is it showing my old home planet?"

"I don't know." Bruno said, and then the vision changed to show Boba. "But it looks like you're a part of it now. And there's someone with you!"

"Who?"

The vision showed a blurred figure with Boba. Someone he was helping up.

"You're helping someone." And then in the vision, the figure and Boba were hugging. "And you're embracing them."

"But who is it?"

Boba's curiosity grew by the second. Bruno concentrated to make the vision clearer. Slowly, the vision became clearer and clearer, and the figure was revealed to be...

Someone no one in the room recognized. It looked like a young girl with short hair. But, based on her facial features, according to Mila, she kind of looked like Boba. A female version, anyway.

And that was when the vision ended. Everyone ducked as the sand fell, and Bruno held a green glass recording of his vision.

"Does this happen after all visions?" asked Master Tinn, brushing the sand from his robes.

"Si. You get used to it." Bruno said.

"But wait," said Boba. "This doesn't make any sense. What does me embracing a strange girl have to do with Rosella? Or my parents?"

"I don't know. My visions are not always clear even for me. I only see certain parts of the future. It doesn't always give the answers that I or anyone who asks for a vision wants. That's why I hesitate to do them. If I see something someone doesn't like, they're all 'Bruno's creepy and he killed my goldfish.'"

"That happened after he told a lady in our village her pet fish would die." said Mila. "But regardless of that, this all has to be connected somehow."

Mila wrote down everything they'd seen in the vision so they would not forget anything.

"How?" Camilo asked.

This was one of those moments when Mila did not have the answer they sought right away. But she did have at least one answer that only raised more questions.

"That's what we have to figure out. We don't know why that woman has Rosella, who she is, or what a Jedi having a nightmare, or a couple expecting a baby has to do with this. Maybe another vision would help."

But Bruno held his head in pain.

"Perhaps after your father has had time to rest." Qui-Gon said. "After what you all experienced, I'm certain all of you could do with some rest."

But the Madrigals were not so sure they could rest very well at the moment. Knowing Rosella may be in grave danger, a lot of them lay in bed for hours before they finally drifted off to sleep. Except Mirabel.

Mirabel sat up in her bed in the guest quarters she and her family were given to sleep in. She could hear Camilo snoring in his bed, and Pedro was sleeping on his father's chest. Even Chika was asleep right beside Mila.

Normally, in a case like this, Casita would help Mirabel up to the roof so she could stare up at the beautiful starry night sky. But, the Temple was just an inanimate building where the only thing that was magical to any of the Madrigals was the advanced technology.

Taking a breath, Mirabel decided to step out of the room and roam through the halls of the Temple.

Mirabel could see the stars through some of the windows, and through some, the lights of the cities of Coruscant. It was all so beautiful. The city light looked like a plethora of stars on the ground. They sort of reminded Mirabel of the candles people lit up throughout the village back in the Encanto whenever there was a special occasion going on.

Mirabel walked a little more as she explored various parts of the Temple, being quiet so she wouldn't wake anyone.

Eventually, she came upon some parts that were covered in a ton of plants. They reminded Mirabel of her oldest sister Isabela. And based on the type of plants, they reminded her of the time she helped Isa discover her true plant-filled passion. And, this particular garden of vines, a strangling fig, and roses just so happened to go all the way up to one of the Temple's roofs. And as luck would have it, they were grown in a pattern that Mirabel could easily climb. So she did.

But when Mirabel got up to the roof, she quickly discovered that she wasn't alone.

Right there, on the roof, Mirabel saw Boba. He was sitting down in his pajamas, staring up at the stars with his stuffed lion Fuzzy.

"Oh! Boba. I didn't expect to see you here." Mirabel said.

Boba was startled for a moment. "Oh, hi, Mirabel." He looked back at the stars.

"You couldn't sleep either?"

"Nope. Couldn't stop thinking about that vision earlier."

"So... your parents are expecting a baby, huh? Sounds exciting."

"Yup. My little sister Gabby is pretty excited about becoming a big sister."

Mila chuckled. "You should've seen Mila when Tio Bruno and Tia Alicia told her they were expecting. She cartwheeled all over the casita."

"Yeah, well, I don't know if the new baby will even like me."

"Why would you think that? Your sister told me a lot about you. Sounds like you're a pretty great brother to her."

"Yeah, but I'm not even a real Skywalker, or a Jinn. I was adopted."

"Okay, that part, she didn't mention. But, that shouldn't affect how much your family loves you."

"It doesn't. But... I can't help feeling like I don't fit in sometimes. Lately, I've been wondering a lot of things."

"Like what?"

"Well... it all began three years ago, just before the Clone War started."

Boba began telling Mirabel his story of how he grew up on Kamino with his father Jango Fett, and he was born as a clone like the soldiers, expect the main differences between them was Boba was not programmed to be a soldier, and he aged normally like a regular human child. His life wasn't nearly as exciting then as it was now because he spent most of his time in his home under the care of a childcare droid Jango left Boba with whenever he was on a bounty hunting mission, which was a lot. And all his life, Jango taught Boba how to be a bounty hunter like him, all while keeping him from doing a lot of things. Before Boba got adopted, he didn't have any real friends, he never listened to much music, never tried sugar, or even went to any parties or any fun places most parents would take their kids. The few times Boba did get out, it was on a mission with his father. And then came the Battle of Geonosis.

"That was when my birth father was killed by Mace Windu in battle." Boba said. "I was traumatized after that."

Mirabel, naturally, was shocked by all that.

"I've long since forgiven him. And surprisingly, we get along fine now." Boba continued. "But, I can't say I reacted very well back then."

"How do you mean?"

"After my father died, I was all alone for a while. That Separatist leader Count Dooku took me in for a while, but then I found some things I should not have seen, so I ran away. Then, I was found by Aurra Sing, who used to be an accomplice of my birth dad's."

Boba then explained how Aurra was very cruel to him, yet she convinced him to exact revenge on Windu for killing Jango Fett. And one day, he infiltrated a Jedi cruiser on a mission, where he was ready to get revenge and failed at both attempts, but then escaped with Aurra.

"Except then, I questioned a lot about what I was doing. Something inside me just... snapped." Boba looked down. "When Gabby was crying and we'd taken her from her family... I didn't like what I saw. And I realized that in the process of trying to get revenge, I was just doing the same thing to another kid that was done to me."

"What happened after that?" Mirabel asked.

"Well, eventually we landed somewhere else because Aurra was eager to collect a bounty on the Jedi's head. Honestly, then, money was the last thing on my mind. And then, Gabby talked to me. Throughout the whole ordeal, whenever Aurra wanted me to do something that involved hurting someone... I saw the horrified look on Gabby's face, and seeing that fear in her eyes... I just couldn't do it. I first realized that when I stopped Aurra from hitting her the way she did me all the time."

"That was really brave."

"It became pretty scary for me later. And painful physically and emotionally. But then I helped her and the others escape. And then, Gabby had me sit down to talk. I didn't know how, but somehow that little girl just made me want to open up. I guess it was then that I realized what a real friend is like. I might've gotten her out of restraints and kept her safe from bounty hunters, but my sister was the one who saved me."

"And that was when you got adopted?" Mirabel guessed.

"Yeah. After doing a short time in juvenile detention, the Skywalker family adopted me. It turned out Anakin, now Dad, saw that we had a couple things in common. He only had a mom, I only had a dad, we both lost our only parents tragically, and he did get revenge on her killers, but he only felt worse, so I was told. And then, we bonded. My whole life changed after that. I got to know what it's like to have a mother, I got friends, I get to see more of the galaxy. My birth dad might not have been the greatest at raising a child, but he meant well. And even though I don't bounty hunt anymore, some of those skills have come in handy sometimes, so I can always be thankful to him for that. Like Mom told me on my first night with her, in a strange way, all those things that happened led to something amazing."

Mirabel then questioned why he was feeling left out now. And Boba told her that back then, they didn't know they were all royalty.

"It wasn't until the Festival of Light last year that we found out Dad actually had a twin brother, and then my sister found a revival spell that brought our grandfather back to us. And long story short, we learned all their powers, now the whole galaxy knows they're descendants of a lost kingdom that's being restored as we speak, and now every member has gotten a crown on their birthdays. I'm supposed to get mine in five months. But... not everyone believes I deserve a crown."

"Because you're adopted?"

"Exactly. Some even think I shouldn't be in this family. Sometimes... I wish I had at least one blood family member."

"What about the other clones?"

"They're not exactly my brothers. At least, they don't feel like that to me. Unless there's another clone like me who's unaltered, ages normally, and would like to be part of this family too, I have no biological siblings of my own. But, I love my family. I just wish..." Boba sighed. "I wish people could see who I really am. That just because I'm different doesn't make me any less special or less part of the family. Sometimes, I just feel invisible. I even get compared to my Golden Child sister Gabby sometimes too."

"I can relate in some ways. I know exactly how you feel." Mirabel said.

"You do?"

"I was outcast from my family too. But it was because I didn't get any magic."

Mirabel took out a picture she had of her family. The last family photo the Madrigals had taken with Abuela before she died.

Mirabel told Boba the story about how she and Mila, on the night of their gift ceremony, they were both so excited to get magical powers of their own. But, they were shocked when Mila got a gift, but Mirabel's door vanished on her. After that, everything changed for Mirabel drastically. No one in the Encanto respected Mirabel as much as they did the rest of the Madrigals.

"Mila, Tio Bruno, and their family were the only ones who stuck by me the whole way. Besides my parents."

Bruno understood better than anyone else how it felt to be outcast from the family. Because of people's ignorance toward their own accountabilities for bad futures coming true, Bruno was deemed a beacon of misfortune. But that didn't stop Alicia from saying 'I do' on their wedding day, or from sharing their first kiss at Julieta and Augustine's wedding reception, where they first met. Nor did it hinder his children's love for him, or Mirabel's. But, Abuela pushed everyone more than ever to use their gifts for the sake of serving the community, but didn't realize she forced them to do it to the point where it hurt them.

"Mila even refused to use her gift or show it to anyone after our ceremony." Mirabel said. "Her parents didn't even go into her room because she always had it locked. Chika and I were the only ones allowed in. I kept telling her she didn't have to do it, but she insisted that she was fine. She would always say, 'I'd rather rely on hard work than magic to achieve things anyway.' She said it felt more rewarding that way."

"To be fair, she does have a point." Boba shrugged.

"True. But I saw what Mila had to endure. People were always trying to guess Mila's gift or make her use it, Abuela outcast her too, and Mila spent years trying to figure out why I didn't get a gift."

"She's really smart, isn't she?"

"Yup. I was always surprised that she wasn't the golden child instead of my sister Isabela."

"Huh. Here, if a child graduated years early, was a great inventor, and dreamed of being an engineer, the parents would throw a parade for them."

"Her parents were always proud of her. Mine always said I had nothing to prove, but I always felt so different. It seemed like nothing I did was good enough for Abuela or anyone else in the Encanto. All they saw was the one Madrigal kid with no powers. We even lost our home because our family was so broken by our gifts being taken advantage of because Abuela didn't see how much it was hurting us, and many refused to see it themselves."

"What happened after that?"

Mirabel then told Boba about the vision Bruno had the night she didn't get her gift, and how she became determined to make a discovery of her own. For a while, she began to feel all the things Mila described she had endured whenever she investigated something for a new experiment or answering an interesting question.

"Casita did crack and fall, but when Abuela, Mila, and I finally realized something and made up, our home was restored, as was our magic."

"What realization was that?"

"The miracle was never our magic. The miracle was us. Our family. Each of us."

Boba thought about what Mirabel said, and started to think more and more about his place in the family.

"I haven't known you for even a day, Boba... but you are a miracle too. I can tell. Your family loves you so much. And you obviously love them. Your family is a miracle. A Skywalker-Jinn miracle."

Boba thought again, and started to feel better. But, he was still curious about who that girl was and why he was embracing her. Or why either of them were even on Kamino in the first place. But first things first, they had to find Rosella and rescue her.
