Julieta versión of that day

*Since Julieta had another day off, she did what anyone with a job does on a day off. She slept. We see Julieta waking up from her nap feeling refresh, Julieta stretched until she heard her bones pop. She went up and looked at the clock*

Julieta: I took a 7 hour nap. My god, it felt so good~

*Julieta said in a sleepy tone as she got out of her room. She walked down, giving a kiss on the cheek to her husband that was finishing the new door. Agustin smiled and looked at his wife*

Agustín:hola mi amor, had a good nap?

Julieta:it was wonderful. Oh, I just feel so refreshed. I'm gonna go for a walk around the town

*Julieta waved goodbye to her husband. She completely ignored Felix when he waved at her. Once outside, Julieta looked around. The sunny day didn't match the wet floor. With a shrugged, she "borrowed" pepa's favorite pair of shoes and walked out, making sure to make the shoes dirty. It gave her a sick sense of joy imagining how pepa would react to this*

Antonio:hola tia!

*Julieta heard her little nephew, Julieta looked down at the boy and gave him a soft smile*

Julieta:hola antonio, shouldn't you be with your friends?

Antonio: I was with my friends, now I'm going with Mirabel

*At the word Mirabel Julieta got exited, her smile became bigger and bigger as she got closer to the little boy*

Julieta:Is Mirabel back from the forest?

Antonio: Yes? She'll be back after an hour of walking back. I was going to go wait for her, at Mr. Jenkins home, Mrs. Jenkins is really nice, and always give me snacks while I wait

*Antonio said, smiling innocently, happy to finally be getting some alone time with his mother. He missed Julieta's excitement until it was too late*

Julieta:Great! Then I'll join you. I wanted to spend the day with my daughter today. And now I'm gonna be able to do it

Antonio;w..wait what?

*Antonio said with wide eyes, Julieta kissed antonio's forehead and walked ahead to the  Jenkins household. She missed Antonio scowling hatefully at the older woman*

Antonio"First Dolores, now Julieta, why can't they leave my mommy alone? I want her all to myself. It's not fair

*Antonio thought as angrily as a little 5 year old boy could muster as parce followed the older woman, even parce didn't see anything wrong with his human, since a mother wanting to spend more time with his daughter is something completely natural*

Scene change

*Julieta and Antonio made it to the household. Julieta's smile became a little smaller seeing the dried out blood on a table not far away, and multiple animal skulls hung up as decorations. With a breath, she knocked on the door. After a few moments, a woman Julieta hadn't talked to in years opened the door*

Amy:My, ain't this a surprise ? Julieta madrigal, the golden child of alma

Julieta:Amy? Amy Natalia?

*Julieta said in shocked seeing and old friend from her childhood, Amy was a plump woman, with short brown hair with a few grey hairs starting she show, she had big caramel eyes that were the reason her husband fell for her, her face like Julieta's also had it shares of lines, only difference being Julieta's were there because of stress while Amy was there from smiling*

Amy:it's Jenkins now. How long has it been? 10, 20, 30 years since you last talked to me?

*Julieta smile became a little more forced, Amy and Julieta used to be such great friends. But alma put a stop do that when she found out*

Julieta: it's.... It certainly been a long time

Amy;Oh Antonio honey! Nice to see you again! Come come, come inside. I already have the snacks ready and a nice piece of juicy steak for a certain lazy bum

*Amy said, ignoring Julieta completely, Antonio smiled brightly, finding it so funny that Julieta was being ignored. The second parce smelled the meat he walked inside, shooting Amy a few slow blinks. Amy waved her hand dismissively and just smiled*

Amy:I love you too parce, what would we do without our resident bone eater? Now hurry up before the hot chocolate gets cold

Antonio:Thanks, Aunty Amy!

*Antonio said with a bright smile, ignoring the fact that calling someone else aunty hurt Julieta, but the other ignored Julieta*

Amy:So, thanks for walking Antonio here. It was...ok, seeing you again, juli, but I got it from here, so....

Julieta:w.. wait! I uh, actually came since Antonio told me that my daughter would be here. I wanted to spend time with her so...can I come in and wait for her? Please?

*Amy looked at Julieta with a bit of a scowl, but she sighed letting her inside, Julieta smiled in appreciation and walked inside the home, she sat down on the living room sofa as Amy went to the kitchen*

Amy:they won't be back for a bit, I'll make some coffee, just stay there

Julieta:Thank you. I appreciate it, you uh. Have such a lovely home, love the skulls on the wall very.... Unique

*Julieta said, trying to be nice, but the home was filled with the skulls. It was a bit creepy, Amy just chuckled*

Amy:You should see them at Halloween. The kids love it. Mirabel makes the best ghost noises that really scare the bejesus out of them

Julieta:i see, so Mirabel helps you too?

*Julieta said a little more happy to move the conversation to the daughter she desperately wants to be closer too*

Amy:You're kidding? She helps pretty much everyone in the encanto. More than once, honestly, this town would go on a riot if she were to ever disappear

*Butterflies started to fly inside Julieta's stomach at the thought of Mirabel just one day leaving like Bruno, Julieta kept looking around the room until a picture caught her eyes. It was a family picture, the Jenkins family were off fishing, and in the same picture, Mirabel was holding a big fish over her head looking so happy*

Amy:Does the expression "look but don't touch" mean anything to you?

*Julieta flinched without realizing it, Julieta got up and grabbed the picture, looking at it, more specifically at her daughter. Julieta blushed a bit embarrassed and placed the picture back in to place*

Julieta;I'm...I'm sorry,

Amy:it's fine, like it? It was a family vacation. Mirabel must've caught the biggest fish out of all of us

*Julieta sat back down and frowned slightly. She grabbed her cup of coffee and placed it on her lips to hide her pursed lips*

Julieta:If it's a family vacation, why is my daughter with you?

Amy:Because we see her as family, the same goes for so many people in this town. She's the real flower of encanto, not like Isabela, no offense

*Amy said with a shrugged as she grabbed her own cup and started drinking from it, Julieta placed the cup down and looked at her once friend*

Julieta:That doesn't answer my question

Amy:I know, I was trying to be polite. But you want and answer fine, that day was Mirabel's birthday. My oldest Ponce found her crying, and we all decided to take her with us, to cheer her up over the fact that her family forgot her special day AGAIN

*Amy said her smile, not leaving her face once, but the sharpness in her tone betrayed the smiling expression. Julieta, for her part, flinched and looked down on the ground with a haunting expression*

Amy:she even had a dress all picked out and ready, my heart goes out to that girl. Having a mother that doesn't have a backbone to stand up against alma.

*Amy wanted to just leave it at that, but decades  of resentment fueled her to keep going*

Amy:You know I actually thought you changed, that becoming a mother would make you put your foot down against that puta. I don't know what I expected, always the golden child, always needing to impress your mother. She didn't want you to be friends with the daughter of the garbage man, but she doesn't want you to be the mother of the giftless madrigal

Julieta:That's different! My mother has changed. We are all trying to change! I'M trying to change and be better for Mirabel

Amy:And how long until you all go back to your old ways? And even if this little act is real, so what?

*The conversation was becoming heated as both women for up in each other's faces*

Amy:Does that magically make up for what that little girl has been through since her ceremony? The missed birthdays, the neglect, the abuse. That girl went through things no child should go through. Honestly, I admire her for still being able to smile as brightly as she does. You don't get to say you're trying to change as if that makes you suddenly a good mother

*Amy jabbed her finger on Julieta's chest and gave her a nasty glare*

Amy:Since what kind of mother can't you stand up for her own children?

*They both heard the door opening and stepped away from each other, Arthur, Ponce and Mirabel all walked inside. Julieta smiled, looking at her daughter even if the words of Amy were now stuck on her head*

Minutes later

Julieta:Oh! Mirabel, hey, baby girl!

Mirabel:Oh, uh, hi again, mom

*Mirabel said surprised seeing her mother there instead of casita. Julieta "accidently" pushed Amy out of the way and went next to Mirabel*

Julieta:Are you done for the day? Because if you are we can spend the rest of the day together. Doesn't that sound just lovely?

Mirabel: While it does sound great to spend time together, really it does. I'm only halfway done,

*Julieta saw mirabel took her her journal, or how Julieta sees it 'the precious'. And started looking at when she would have time*

Mirabel: I don't just hunt the animals, I skin and dismember them, then I gotta take the animal skin and make it to leather which is a whole nother ordeal onto itself, really I'll be busy all day. Maybe we can do something together some other time?

Julieta:Oh, well, how about if I keep you company, and! And you can teach me how to do all those fancy things that you do

*Julieta said a little desperately in her tone. A small sick part of Mirabel was loving that look on her mother's face, even if she knew it wasn't right to enjoy it*

Mirabel"all those years that I wanted her company, and now that in busy she suddenly wants my company? Dios, you have a funny sense of humor, you know that?"

Amy:god, talk about pathetic

*Julieta heard Amy whisper to her husband, who in tern had to nod in agreement. Julieta blushed a bit embarrassed but, for the most part, ignored them. Mirabel sighed and rubbed the back of her neck*

Mirabel: Well....I guess if you really want to, you can stay. Just don't touch anything sharp, Arthur is a cheap man who doesn't believe in buying until it's broken

Arthur:Hey! There's nothing wrong with my knives!

*Arthur interrupted, Mirabel scoffed and walked up to the bearded man looking up and pointing her finger at his chest without fear*

Mirabel:I almost got Lockjaw that one time using those things!

Arthur:Oh, here we go again with that story!

*Mirabel and Arthur started to bicker as they walked to his shop, Ponce just glanced at Julieta and followed his father*

Amy:Well, are you gonna stay for lunch? Mirabel usually eats before she leaves. You know, on account of a certain someone having a problem with people snacking

Julieta:Yes, I'll be staying. Thank you for your consideration. My mother IS changing even if you don't want to admit it

*Julieta said with her arms crossed she gave a small glare at her old friend, a glare that Amy gave back*

Julieta: "Who does this woman think she is? She has no right to talk about my family. Not when her oldest child chases everything with a skirt"

Amy:Changing doesn't change the past Julieta. Now hurry along, I'm sure you'll do fine seeing a deer get dismembered

*Julieta gave a small huff and walked to catch up with her daughter. She stopped when she saw Mirabel being a madrigal, and singing while she worked*

Mirabel:Qué es morir de amor Morir de amor por dentro Es quedarme sin tu luz

*Julieta eyes widen when mirabel is able to lift a deer by herself, she was struggling but still by herself*

Mirabel:Es...Es perderte en un momento, como puedo yo Decirte que lo siento

*Mirabel placed the deer upsidedown on a hook and grabbed the knife that was on the table, Julieta's not gonna lie, it was a little creepy that he daughter was singing while doing something like this*

Mirabel:Que tu ausencia es mi dolor
Que yo sin tu amor, me muero

*Mirabel Sang as she stabbed the upsidedown deer, the blood flowing down a bucket. Julieta was already feeling a little green.

Mirabel:oh hey mom, come over so I can teach you how to bleed a deer. It's really easy once you get a handle on it

Julieta:l... lovely

*Julieta said with a bit of a forced smile. She walked to Mirabel, who gave her a knife, while the father and son duo propped another deer upsidedown*

Julieta"I just wanted to spend with my daughter, I thought I could help her make a dress or something, not this."

Mirabel:You got it?

*Julieta shook her head and looked at her daughter, who seemed to be a bit more happy then before. Mirabel, for her part, even if Julieta did force her way to do this, she's still wants to spend time with her mother and isn't as bitter as Dolores on the subject*

Julieta: I'm...I'm sorry honey, I kinda spaced out. Can you repeat that?

Mirabel:Oh, uh, sure, well, you put two fingers over here. You'll feel 2 bones like a V. That's where you'll stab the knife. After that....

*Mirabel kept talking with Julieta nodded, in the back of her mind she was hyping herself up into doing this*

Julieta"oh I'm so sorry, Bambi, but this is the only way..."

*Julieta said, not knowing that if she just waited for tomorrow, she would've been able to spend time with Mirabel in the seamstress shop. Julieta closed her eyes tight, and she stabbed the deer quickly, taking the knife out*

Mirabel:For the first time, you did pretty well. Just don't close your eyes. That's how accidents happen. Isn't that right Ponce?

Ponce:How many times do I have to say I'm sorry?!

Mirabel:until the scar on my cheek disappears!

Julieta:You're what?!

*Julieta grabbed Mirabel's cheek and looked at her face. Sadly, for julieta, the closer she looked, the more scars she saw on her daughter's face.*

Mirabel:mom, it's fine, it was just an accident. Big man over there slipped on a pile of blood, and his knife went flying towards me. Guess I got Dad's luck when it comes to accidents, huh?

Julieta: Still, you need to be more careful, honey. I don't want to lose you....

*Both left it unsaid, but both knew that most often those scars that were hard to see thanks to all Mirabel's time in the sun, they were made by Camilo and his friends. A cough made Julieta remember where she was, and she looked at Arthur, who had just finished stabbing the other deers*

Arthur:Well, as nice as that was. Let's head inside and have lunch while all the blood drains. After that, we'll skin the deers

Mirabel:Oh, that's gonna be fun. It's my favorite part of going hunting

*Mirabel said with a happy smile, Julieta just walked behind her daughter, who was busy rambling to Ponce on something about painting, Julieta's eyes wandered on mirabel's bag where the precious resided*

Antonio:Mirabel! Look!

Mirabel:Yes, Antonio?

*Mirabel kneeled down and took the paper Antonio was giving her. She smiled softly as it was a picture of just the two of them and parce together*

Mirabel:Oh my, did you draw this all by yourself?

Antonio;yeah, do you like it?

*Mirabel just grinned and hugged Antonio, lifting him up, Antonio looked at her aunty Julieta and blew her a silent raspberry. Julieta eyes twitched a little.

Julieta:Now Antonio, that's not very nice

Mirabel:mom, come on, he's just a little kid. But she's right, we don't blow raspberries at people, you know what to do

*Mirabel said, putting Antonio down and walking away, Antonio was still smiling since she kept the drawing with her. He sighed and hugged her aunty. "

Antonio:I'm sorry that Mirabel likes spending more time with me than with you

Julieta:That's o....

*Julieta froze and looked down at the disappearing figure, who turned around and pulled a face at Julieta without anyone noticing*

Julieta:he's a little boy, he's a little boy, he's a little boy, remember what happened to that man that insulted him that one time

*Julieta said with a tremble, not wanting to deal with pepa and her weather magic. She sighed and forced a smile walking into the dining room*

Meanwhile, with alma

Alma;here you go, honey. I hope you feel better

*Alma said with a smile, giving food to an actual injured person. The boy smiled and ate it, and his broke leg finally fixed as she ran away. Alma looked up at a big man, and instantly, she could smell the alcohol in him.  Alma smile disappeared, and she became cold and serious.

Alma:You are not injured, your drunk NEXT!!

*Alma said with a big smile. The drunk man dared say something but quickly went quiet when Luisa lifted him up the ground and glared at him*

Luisa:Are we gonna have a problem here?

Jimmy:n.. no!

*Luisa glanced at Alma to see if to give the man some mercy, alma shook her head giving none. Luisa nodded and lifted the man even higher before throwing him  away to the other pile of drunk men. Alma just looked in front of her with a sickly sweet smile.

Alma;now... who's next?
