*after spending breakfast with the family we see Dolores and Mirabel back in there room, Dolores sighed in relief putting her earmuffs back on, getting her normal non super gifted hearing back, she walked ahead and finally saw all the things they bought*

Dolores:now that I'm seeing everything....we really went overboard

Mirabel:oh, I'm way to comfortable to care...

*Mirabel said/moaned out, Dolores glanced at her using Dolores's brand new foot bath with the salt and other things. Dolores crossed her arms*

Dolores:what do you think your doing? That's mine

Mirabel:I bought it for you, but I'm getting the first use, and it's heavenly~

*Mirabel said with a smirk, Dolores rolled her eyes and started organizing all there new stuff*

Dolores:people are probably gonna be happy that your back huh

Mirabel:there gonna be happy that we're back

Dolores:.......

*Dolores looked at Mirabel with a raised eyebrow making her winced a bit, she rubbed the back of her neck and chuckled a little*

Mirabel:ok, but they're getting more used to you

Dolores:........!!

*Dolores looked at Mirabel deeper, making whatever relaxation she was having with the foot bath all but disappear*

Mirabel:ok, there getting more comfortable as long as I'm there with you, but that's something!

Dolores:yeah, maybe you should talk to alma, make her do a public announcement that I won't be telling away any secrets

*Dolores said with a sigh sitting down on the bed, looking at Mirabel with a bit of scorn behind her eyes*

Dolores"I'm not buying two, she said, I won't hog it, she said"

Alma;that's not a bad idea

Mirabel and Dolores:ahhhh!!!

*Both Mirabel and Dolores screamed being taken by surprised, Dolores was quick to take the earmuffs off, and pretend she didn't get a massive headache, from listening to all the sounds coming towards her at once*

Mirabel:abuela, where did you come from?

Alma:from downstairs, I told Dolores that I was coming to see you two, so we could speak privately

*Alma said glancing over at all the new things they bought for themselves. Mirabel was nodding while on the inside she was panicking, she knew sooner or later those earmuffs would cause them trouble, she just didn't think it would be this soon. Thankfully Dolores did*

Dolores:sorry....abuela

*Dolores struggled to say, her teachings of the way of pettiness from Pepa screaming to call her by her first name*

Dolores: I was so distracted listening to Mirabel, and organizing our new stuff that I must've missed you saying that

Alma:I see, well I'm here now. Mirabel?

*Alma asked to get her youngest granddaughter of the blue side's attention. Mirabel flinched a little but looked at alma*

Alma:when your finished with...whatever that thing is on your feet, what even is that anyways?

Mirabel:.....try it first, and then I'll tell you. I think you'll love it

*Mirabel said getting out of it, alma looked confused but she trusted Mirabel so she started taking her shoes and socks off. Mirabel looked at Dolores and stuck out her tongue, now Dolores will be the 3rd person to use it. Dolores gave a small annoyed chuckle because of that*

Dolores"oh, your playing with fire Mirabel..."

Alma:ok, but what is it?

Mirabel:it's a foot massager, trust me you'll love it. I bought one for Mom too

*Mirabel said with a bright smile, Dolores flinched and then looked at Mirabel betrayed*

Dolores: you said we could only buy one!

Mirabel:yeah, for us. I bought an extra one for my mom

*Dolores and Mirabel started to softly bicker, while alma gave out a small but very satisfied sigh, her feet felt amazing right now*

Alma:oh, where has this been all my life...

Mirabel:ok! Ok, next month I'll buy you one and only you will be able to use it

Dolores:good, and I'm choosing the most expensive model

*Dolores said with a huff, Mirabel rolled her eyes and looked at alma, who was really enjoying the little machine on her feet*

Mirabel;so, abuela. What did you want to talk about?

Alma:hm? Oh yes, as you know you'll be fitting Julieta's dress to fit Isabela
Later at the seamstress shop. I've been told that you are quite the dress maker, I just want to know what those modifications will be*

With Dolores

*Dolores made it far enough where they can't see or hear her, she knocked on a old painting in a pattern, the painting moved and out came Bruno*

Bruno: hey nieta, how was the outside world?

Dolores:amazing, but that's not the point. Just wanted to make sure you've eaten, and see how your doing

*Dolores asked looking at her uncle, an uncle who should be in the outside world, but unlike Mirabel, Bruno didn't have the stones to actually leave, sure he stayed for his family, but part of the reason he stayed, was because he had the same fears of the outside world as alma*

Bruno: I'm doing fine, it was kinda tricky to get food without you though.

Dolores:I'll try to remember that for next time. Now I....I need a favor

*Dolores said bitting her under lip, Bruno sighed, since he knew what she wanted, and he shook his head, and looked at Dolores as sternly as she could, which wasn't a lot*

Bruno:no. I can't show you the future, I did before but not for this

Dolores:why not? Like you said you've done it before

*Dolores asked with a frown that was more stern then the one Bruno had on, Bruno sighed and shrugged*

Bruno: because, alma changed destiny, she wasn't supposed to care for Mirabel, or the rest of the family, in such a way till much later. But she did, she's making changes that puts the family first. I didn't see that coming. Her caring for the family far too soon then what she was supposed to, changed your destiny as well

Dolores:so, the love of my life?

*Dolores asked, she wanted it so badly to still be Mariano. Bruno sighed and placed his hand on top of her head for support*

Bruno:like I said, I can't tell you that. But I can tell you, that you won't become the next black sheep of the encanto.

Dolores:there coming, we'll talk later, I'll bring you some food when I get back

*Dolores said turning around and walking away, Bruno nodded and returned to the walls of casita. Dolores walked to see Mirabel looking for her*

Dolores:what's up mirabel?

*Dolores asked, Mirabel looked at her and smiled, she grabbed her hand and took Dolores with her*

Mirabel:alma is gone, so before we leave, I want to help you with that headache

Dolores:i appreciate that

*Dolores said with a soft smile, mirabel smiled brightly at her, making Dolores sit down, and putting her feet on the foot massager. Dolores gave small pleasurable noises, finally being able to use her foot massager. Dolores relaxed more when mirabel started giving her a neck massage, to help with the headache*

Later at the seamstress shop

*We see Isabela standing like a statue, alma talking with Lucia, Julieta was watching her youngest daughter work, Dolores reading one of her new books, and Mirabel with pins in her mouth as she modified Julieta's old wedding dress to fit Isabela's body, while she ignored Julieta's piercing eyes on her*

Alma:oh doesn't she look beautiful in that dress?

Lucia:she looks....well she certainly has the body for the dress, she reminds me of you when you were her age alma

*Lucia said, trying to change the subject, seeing as Mirabel was her protege, she knew all too well of the thorns the flower of the encanto has on her*

Alma:oh, yeah remember that day? You were where Mirabel is now, and your mother was the owner

Lucia:yeah, if I remember correctly, you were muttering some...not very nice thing of your fiance

*Lucia said with an amused expression, that statement, made the younger members of the madrigal family to look at there matriarch, Alma's cheeks turned pink and she looked out the window*

Alma: to be fair, pedro gave me a beautiful proposal....but the man thought it would be a good idea to place the ring on the wine bottle and....well I don't need to tell you what happened after that

Julieta:.....you mean to tell me that the ring you gave to agustin to give to me, the ring you fought for so hard for him to use....you swallowed it and then....

*Julieta couldn't finish the sentence without turning a little green, looking at the ring on her finger, alma huffed and rolled her eyes*

Julieta:i should've let Pepa take it...

Alma:cute, stop being dramatic, I cleaned it thoroughly when I got it back

*Alma said with her head held high, she's feeling attack with all of them looking at her, Mirabel being the first one to shrug and go back to work. Isabela glanced down at her sister*

Isabela"she's doing all this work for you, and you can't even think of something to talk about?"

*The little voice from before said to Isabela, isabela frowned slightly, she opened her mouth to speak, but closed it. This cycle repeated itself, since Isabela just couldn't think of anything to say to Mirabel. Well anything that's not snarky, or insulting*

Isabela:is....is it time for a break?

Mirabel:do you need a break?

*Mirabel asked not taking her eyes off her work, Isabela licked her lips, it was basic, but it was something*

Isabela:a little, my legs are killing me just standing like this

Mirabel:Dolores be nice

*Mirabel whispered softly, since she knew Dolores was about to say something. Snarky, Dolores frowned, feeling bitter that she couldn't say it, so she went back to her book. Mirabel looked at Isabela*

Mirabel:ok, let's that a small break

Later

Mirabel:ok, that's enough for today, you'll have to come back tomorrow

Isabela:why, can't you do it all today?

*Isabela asked, Mirabel got up and stretched until she heard her joint snap. They've been doing this for hours, and honestly, Julieta was creeping Mirabel out, with all the looking*

Mirabel:because I have other orders to fufill. This was just to make the measurements, so I can see what I'm working with. If you want it done today, it'll cost you extra, like way extra

Isabela:hold up, your charging your family?

*Isabela asked, her little Karen, I mean her flower of the encanto persona, coming back up. Mirabel looked at her with a raised eyebrow*

Mirabel:of course I am, this is my main source of income. Unlike the lot of you, I don't get paid by...the leaders of this village

Dolores:that's Mirabel nice way of saying, alma never gave her any money like she did the rest of us

*Dolores said without a hint of shame or fear, she licked her finger and flipped the page. Mirabel sighed since she really didn't want to deal with this right now. Alma looked shocked and guilty, and Julieta was confused, quickly becoming angry*

Julieta;I'm sorry, I'm sorry what? Mama. Care to explain? Because hahahaha! If I remember correctly. I told you to give Mirabel HALF, of the money I make

Mirabel:well that didn't happen

*Mirabel muttered, making Dolores snort, the 3, 3rd generation madrigals looked at the angry Julieta, walking towards alma who was walking back, using a table to step in-between her, and her most violent child*

Alma:I...I freely admit that was a mistake on my part. I thought Mirabel didn't deserve the money, since I thought she didn't do anything, I'll admit do that

Mirabel:really feeling the love abuela

*Mirabel said dryly, alma was glancing between Mirabel and Julieta, and also the backdoor exit. Her only salvation*

Alma:I'm owning up do it, that has to count for something. I now see just how much you really do, pepa, Camilo, Agustín. Couldn't handle your workload, you are without a

*Alma moved out the way when a chair was thrown at her direction, she paled as she snapped her neck at Julieta, who had a terrifying smile on her face*

Julieta:it does count for something. It counts for the 10 seconds headstart I'm gonna give you, and I'm telling you this now Mami. When, not if, but when I catch you, I'm gonna break your face, feed you an arepa, and break your face again

Alma:Julieta! This is...

Julieta:10...9...8....7....

*Alma paled and was full on panicking, she looked around for support but got none, since no one wanted to deal with a pissed off Julieta, alma with no choice left running. Dolores whistled impressed, seeing alma booking it*

Dolores:for a sick old lady, she can really run fast

Julieta:yes. Excuse me girls, I have to have a.... discussion with your abuela

*Julieta said unnaturally calm, she walked to Isabela and Mirabel, giving them both a kiss on the cheek, before cracking her neck, taking off her high heels, and running at full sprint towards her mother, she wasn't the track team star in highschool for nothing*

Mirabel:....well that happened, anyhow. Back to us, if you want this dress ready for your wedding, either you, Mariano, abuela, i don't care, but somebody is gonna have to pay me extra to do it. If not? Well I guess you'll have to delay the wedding for 2 months

Isabela:why 2 months?

*Isabela asked, even if internally she was extremely happy that she had an excuse to delay the inevitable, Mirabel got up and went to the counter, she grabbed a book and gave it to Isabela who opened it*

Mirabel:because I'm fully booked, two months is how long it will take me to get you, after that, maybe another 2 weeks

Isabela: I'm sure abuela can be convinced to move it.

*Isabela said trying to sound disappointed, but she wasn't fooling Dolores, the 3 of them just stood there, awkwardly without anything to say, Isabela walked to the Changing room to get out of the dress, and mirabel sat down next to Dolores*

Mirabel:you sure you want to stay here? I'll be busy all day

Dolores:trust me, it's fine. This place is so quiet, I love it.

*Dolores said with a smile, that smile turned into a wince when she heard something*

Mirabel;Mom got to abuela?

Dolores:yup, there at the town square right now, your mom on top of alma, and she is beating the hell out of here

*Dolores said, and Mirabel gave her a small stern look, since Dolores had a smile of amusement on her face*

Dolores:what? You can't tell me you don't find any justice on this

Mirabel:no, just because I find enjoyment, doesn't make it right. So stop listening do it, and I don't know, see if Mariano is reciting one of his poems

*Mirabel said sticking her tongue out at her and going back to work, Dolores huffed, insulted that Mirabel thought she knew her that well*

Mariano: you'll live a long time without me Isabela

*Dolores heard Mariano's reciting what he wrote starting, and frowned, her lips pursed as if she tasted sour grapes*

Mariano:an eternity without me. You will look into the faces of passers by hoping for something that for an instant, will bring me back to you. You'll find moonless nights strangely empty because...

Mirabel:yo solo quiero darte un beso...

(I just wanna give you a kiss )

*Dolores jumped at Mirabel statement, and snapped her head towards her, ignoring what Mariano was doing. Mirabel was stitching back together a old quilt, with a smile on her face, and as always a song on her lips*

Mirabel:Y regalarte mis mañanas
Cantar para calmar tus miedos
Quiero que no te falte nada

(And give you my mornings, Sing to calm your fears, I want you to not miss anything)

*Mirabel kept singing, Dolores took a small breath of relief, she was so distracted with Mariano, Julieta, and alma, that she didn't pick up Mirabel start to sing, she closed her eyes and just concentrated on that, finding Mirabel's voice relaxing, Dolores placed her hand in her chest, feeling her heart was still pumping a bit faster then normal, from what she thought Mirabel said*

Dolores"me and mirabel kissing, what a foolish notion. I blame Bruno for this"

*Dolores said, placing the blame on her uncle, who did have a bit of blame, seeing as his rat telenovelas, has been becoming more romantic as of late. Dolores was taken out of her thoughts when Isabela walked out with the wedding dress in hand*

Mirabel:place it on the table, and you can leave, to hang out with your friends or whatever it is, you have plans for today

Isabela:I wish, i have tutoring classes today. Fuck Gabriela

*Isabela groaned out, Mirabel snorted, with a amused smile on her face, she knew all to well how serious Gabriela took her studying*

Mirabel:yeah, she always got better grades then me, I was always so jealous of her because of that, I mean the girl barely studied! And somehow I was always number 2 in exams, studying my brain off

Dolores:sounds, like there's no love lost between the two of you

*Dolores said amused looking at mirabel, and completely ignoring Isabela, which was fine by Isabela, she was doing the same thing to Dolores*

Mirabel:oh, there's plenty of love there, our rivalry became friendship, hell I gave her my first kiss

Isabela and Dolores:what?!!

*Both of the screamed scandalized, mirabel opened her drawer, and took out one of her mother's arepas, she pushed her desk chair, rolling it next to Dolores, and gave it to her. Dolores ate it healing her bloody ears*

Mirabel;what do you mean what? It was a simple thing I just said. Me and Gabriela kissed, more then a few times.

Dolores:please don't tell me, I indirectly made you break up with your girlfriend

*Dolores paled, scared of the truth, thankfully the truth was a lot more mundane, as Mirabel waved her hand dismissively, rolling her chair back to the desk*

Mirabel:we weren't in a relationship, I just wanted to practice kissing, and she agreed to help me.

Isabela:....I'm gonna go, don't want to be late for my tutoring, since me and my teacher, need to talk about...some things

*Isabela said almost as coldly as Julieta, as she walked away. Her anger at her teacher who was the same age as her growing, since she corrupted her little sister. Dolores on the other hand, was still blushing thinking of it, since yes Isabela and Mirabel have kissed people before, but Dolores? Not so much. Being the new black sheep, no one wanted anything to do with her, so she still had her first kiss to give out*

Dolores"I wanted it to be Mariano, who I gave it to..."

*Dolores said a little depressed, she glanced at Mirabel still working, she continued to sing her little heart out, that helped Dolores feel a bit better*

Mirabel: Ya no sé qué hacer para que estés bien, Si apagar el sol para encender tu amanecer, Falar em português, aprender a hablar francés O bajar la luna hasta tus pies....

( I no longer know what to do to make you feel well, whether to turn off the sun to light your dawn, to speak in Portuguese, to learn to speak French, or to lower the moon to your feet....)

Later night time

*It was almost dusk when Mirabel and Dolores walked out of the seamstress shop, after spending all day doing what she loves, Mirabel managed to finish 3% of her orders.*

Dolores:how much more work you have to do?

Mirabel:a lot, comes with the job of being the only seamstress in town, I have to take care of everybody's clothes

*Mirabel said stretching, both heard the pop in her joints, as they walked back home*

Dolores:so....how was it....t..to kiss someone?

Mirabel:it was nice I guess? I mean she had really soft lips, but there just wasn't a spark you know?

*Mirabel said with a shrug, and Dolores nodded, lying since she really didn't know, she felt embarrassed that Mirabel who was younger then her, had more experience in so many things, and now romance was one of them*

Dolores: you think we'll have a spark when we kiss?

Mirabel:....i mean, we can practice and find out?

*Mirabel asked with a small smile, Dolores froze, a small blush growing on her cheeks, at the notion of giving away her first kiss, even if it was to her cousin*
