Luisa singing

Third Person P.O.V.

The next morning, outside the patio, the families are getting their breakfasts. Pepa drinks her tea as her cloud disappeared, walking past the table. Agustín attacked by the coatis messing with him. (B/n) walking past the table, drinking the juice. He burped as a small fire came out of his mouth and muttered "Excuse me." And finally, Dolores, who is stacking arepas on her plate from the table of food. She startled when Mirabel and (Y/n) came beside her.

"Dolores, hey." Mirabel greeted her cousin.

"Hi, Dolores." (Y/n) also greeted her friend as well.

"You know, out of all my older cousins, you're like my favorite cousin, so I feel like I can talk to you about anything, ergo you can talk to me and (Y/n) about anything, like the problem with the magic last night that no one seemed to worry about, but maybe you heard about that maybe we should know about." Mirabel said, acting like it's not weird.

"Camilo! Stop pretending you're Dolores so you can have seconds." Félix scolded when the real Dolores standing behind him.

"Getting the seconds again, Camilo?" (Y/n) asked, with her one brow raised.

The fake Dolores morphs back into Camilo.

"Worth a shot." He said, smugly smiles.

Casita whacks Camilo twice with its window shutter as Camilo trying to balance his food. "Ah! Ey!"

(Y/n) giggled as Félix rolled his eyes and proceed to get food.

The real Dolores whispers to Mirabel and (Y/n). "The only ones worried about the magic is you, (Y/n), Abuela (Gm/n)...and the rats talking in the walls." Dolores walks past by them and went back to them. "Oh, and Luisa. I heard her eye twitching all night." She said, before she squeaked and walked away, leaving Mirabel and (Y/n) surprised.

They looked over at Luisa, who is carrying a table with one hand.

"There we go." Luisa said as she put a table down.

Mirabel had an idea. "(Y/n), I'll handle to talk to Luisa." Mirabel said.

"Ok." (Y/n) said.

Abuela Alma and Abuela (Gm/n) enters the patio.

"Everyone to the table. Let's go, let's go." Abuela Alma said.

Everyone getting their seat. (Y/n) sits the very end of the table next to Abuela (Gm/n)'s seat. Mirabel took Tía Pepa's seat next to Luisa which made Pepa a little mad as her storm cloud appeared above her head, but Tío Félix calmed her down.

"Luisa—"

"Families, we are all thankful for Antonio's wonderful new—" Abuela Alma was going to say as she and Abuela (Gm/n) goes to their chairs but finds six coatis in them. "Gift."

Abuela (Gm/n) and (Y/n) chuckles.

"I told 'em to warm up your seat and Abuela (Gm/n)'s seat." Antonio smiles.

"Thank you, Toñito." Abuela Alma smiles back.

"That's very thoughtful of you, Antonio." Abuela (Gm/n) smiles back as well.

The abuelas gently shooed coatis away and took their seats and Abuela Alma continued. "I'm sure today we'll find a way to good use..."

As Abuela Alma continuing her speech, Mirabel leans over and whispers to Luisa. "Luisa, Dolores says you're totally freaking out, any chance you maybe know something about last night, with the magic—"

Luisa's eye twitched.

Mirabel gasped as she slammed her hand on the table and pointed her, excited. "You do!"

"Mirabel."

Mirabel turned to Abuela Alma, busted.

"If you can't pay attention, I will help you." Abuela Alma warned.

"Actually, I—" Mirabel stammered.

"Casita."

Casita moves Mirabel to the end of the table between (Y/n) and the abuelas, away from Luisa.

"As I was saying," Abuela Alma said. "We must never take our miracle for granted, so today, we will work twice as hard with a help with (Gm/n)'s family."

(Y/n) turned to Mirabel with a questioning look. Mirabel responded back shake her head twice to the left to Luisa. They lean their chairs backward to see Luisa. Luisa noticed them and turned away, nervously.

"Mmhm, I will help Luisa—" Mirabel blurted, as she moves her chair.

"Stop." Abuela Alma demanded.

Casita holds back Mirabel with a chair.

"First, an announcement." Abuela Alma said, standing up and walking to Isabela as Abuela (Gm/n) follows. "I've spoken to the Guzmáns about Mariano's proposal to Isabela. Dolores, do we have a date?"

Dolores perks her ear, listening from far away.

"Tonight," Dolores answers. "He wants five babies."

Isabela nervously sprouted flowers on head.

Abuela Alma smiled wide while Abuela (Gm/n) shocked, feeling sorry for Isabela.

"Wonderful. Such a fine young man with our perfect Isabela will bring a new generation of magical blessings and make both of our families stronger." Abuela Alma said, as she plucks out a wrong flower off Isabela's hair.

Camilo morphs into Mariano and makes kissing noises to tease Isabela. Isabela swatted him with flowers to get him to stop as Camilo change back and coughed up flowers.

"(Gm/n), is there anything to say?" Abuela Alma asked Abuela (Gm/n).

"I just wanted to say don't pressure yourselves. Just work together for our community." Abuela (Gm/n) said.

"Thank you, (Gm/n)." Abuela Alma smiled as Abuela (Gm/n) smiled back. "Okay, our community is counting on us."

"La Familia Madrigal y La Familia Estrella!" The Abuelas shouted.

"La Familia Madrigal y La Familia Estrella!" The two families cheered.

"Luisa, hey!" Mirabel said as she stands up but found that Luisa is already left.

Mirabel and (Y/n) heads after Luisa and Mirabel accidently bumps into Isabela, sending petals everywhere.

"Oof. Sorry." Mirabel apologized before she catches up with (Y/n).

"What is your problem?!" Isabela scowls, dusting herself.

"Hey Luisa! Hold up!" Mirabel called for her sister.

As Mirabel and (Y/n) running, (Y/n) accidently ran into and collapse on someone causing Mirabel to stop and run back.

(Y/n) groans as she stands up, rubbing her head and looked down to see Camilo, who sits up rubbing his head.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry, Camilo! Are you ok? Are you hurt?" (Y/n) asked, frantically.

"Nah, I'm ok, bonita." Camilo replied, smiling up at her, reassuring.

(Y/n) smiled back as she gives Camilo her hand. He grabs it as (Y/n) pulling him up. Mirabel came back to them.

"(Y/n)? Are you ok?" Mirabel asked.

"I'm fine, Mirabel." (Y/n) said.

"Good."

(Y/n) turned to Camilo. "Are you here for something?"

"Yes, I'm asking for your help with watching the kids while their parents working." Camilo said, rubbing his neck, looking away. "If you want to."

"Well, I—"

"She will." Mirabel cut in.

(Y/n) and Camilo looked at Mirabel, shocked. "What?"

"'I'm supposed to come with you, right?" (Y/n) turned to Mirabel, confused.

"It's ok. I promise. I'll come back to you after I'm done talking with Luisa. You go helping with Camilo." Mirabel reassured her friend.

"Um, ok. At least tell Luisa I say hi for me, ok?" (Y/n) said.

"I will." Mirabel said with a smile before she took off.

(Y/n) turned Camilo with a small smile. "I guess I can help you."

"Great!" Camilo grinned. They started walking to the town.

...

Luisa is moving a church to other side. The priest blessed her after Luisa puts the church down.

"Luisa, can you re-route the river?" The old lady asked.

"Will do!" Luisa answered.

"Luisa, the donkeys got out again." The man said.

"On it!" Luisa responded.

As Luisa picks up three of the donkeys, Mirabel climbs up the stone wall.

"Luisa—" She fell over the wall but got up. "Wait a second."

Mirabel caught up with Luisa as Luisa moves faster. "You gotta tell me about the magic. What's going on? What are you hiding? And (Y/n) said hi."

"Nothing. Just gotta lotta chores, so maybe you should just go home. Tell (Y/n) I said hi back."

Another man called out, "Luisa, my house is leaning to the—oh!"

Luisa knocks a house straight up and keeps walking with the donkeys on her back while Mirabel still catching up to her.

"Dolores said your eye was twitching and it never twitches, something's making you nervous—" Mirabel pressed.

"Hey, move, you're gonna make me drop the donkey." Luisa said as she kicked another donkey to the air and landed on her back.

"Luisa, will you just—" Mirabel groans. "Just tell me what it is!"

"There's nothing to tell." Luisa said.

"You're obviously worried about something! Luisa, if you know what's hurting the magic and it gets worse 'cause you won't tell me what's wrong—!"

Suddenly Luisa turned around to face Mirabel.

"NOTHING'S WRONG!" Luisa bellowed. This made Mirabel and the donkeys shocked.

"Wow, uh, sorry, that, uh, that snuck out there." Luisa sputtered, trying to play off as she puts the donkeys down.

"What I meant was...'Why would anything be wrong?'" Luisa picks Mirabel picks up and puts her down to other side. "I'm totally fine. The magic's fine. Luisa's fine. I'm totally not nervous." Luisa smiles, trying to be casual, but her eye twitches.

"Your eye is...doing the thing..." Mirabel said, before Luisa gets in Mirabel's face.

"I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous. I'm as tough as the crust of the earth is." Luisa tosses the boulder in the air and Luisa unfazed as the boulder smashes through her toughness.

Mirabel and the donkeys stares at Luisa. "Okay..."

"I move mountains, I moves churches, and I glow, cuz I know what my worth is." Luisa flexes her muscles.

"Course I mean—" Mirabel noticed the donkeys back up behind her. "Hey, where are you going?"

"I don't ask how, hard the work is, got a rough, indestructible surface." Luisa bonked the other boulders with her hips and turns around, stomping towards in the beat, intense.

"Diamonds and platinum, I find 'em, flatten 'em, I take what I'm demanded, BUT!"

Luisa rips the ground, sending them both into a fantasy.

"Under the Surface. I feel berserk as a tightrope walker in a three-ring circus." Luisa is balancing on the tight rope with the donkeys.

"Under the Surface. Was Hercules ever like 'Yo, I don't wanna fight Cerberus?'" Suddenly, Luisa and Mirabel find Hercules scared and running away from Cerberus.

"Under the Surface. I'm pretty sure I'm worthless if I can't be of service." Luisa defeated the Cerberus.

"A flaw or a crack. The straw in the stack. That breaks the camel's back, what breaks the camel's back? It's..." Then the stage split in half underneath Luisa and Luisa dives in.

"Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop. Whoa-oa." Luisa lands as the donkeys falling slowly.

"Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip til you just go pop. Whoa-oa-oa-oa." Luisa holding Mirabel and loading donkeys each side with the balance scales and appears on the stage.

"Give it to your sister, your sister's older, give her all the heavy things we can't shoulder." Luisa caught few of the heavy pieces.

"Who am I if can't run with the ball? If I fall to..." Luisa caught all heavy pieces and made a globe.

"Pressure like a grip, grip, grip and it won't let go. Whoa-oa." Luisa helps Mirabel escape the giant coffee bean press.

"Pressure like a tick, tick, tick til it's ready to blow. Whoa-oa-oa-oa." Then Luisa helps Mirabel escape the field of geysers.

"Give it to your sister, your sister's stronger. See if she can hang on a little longer." Luisa hanging on the edge of the cliff while Mirabel holding on Luisa's other hand.

"Who am I if I can't carry it all if I falter?" Luisa and Mirabel fall from the cliff and landed the town, where the mountain boulders rolling down to them.

"Under the Surface. I hide my nerves, and it worsen, worry something is gonna hurt us." Lusia stops the boulders.

"Under the Surface. The ship doesn't swerve. Has it heard how big the iceberg is?" Suddenly, Mirabel and the donkeys (who are playing the orchestra) are on the deck of Titanic as an iceberg loom, but Luisa destroys the iceberg.

"Under the Surface. I think about my purpose. Can I somehow preserve this?" Luisa and Mirabel surf back to the shore and Luisa adjust Mirabel's glasses.

"Line up the dominoes, a light wind blows. You try to stop it topplin' but on and on it goes." Then the dominoes of doors, including Luisa's door stacks in front of Luisa and Mirabel as Luisa pushing them. Then the tornado sucks them and sending them into beautiful sky with pink clouds.

"But wait, if I could shake, the crushing weight." Luisa and Mirabel are floating up to the air.

"Of expectation would that free some room up for, joy?" Mirabel caught her glasses and puts them on and saw Luisa bouncing the clouds, feeling free and relaxed.

"Or relaxation or simple pleasure, instead we measure..." Luisa and Mirabel are riding the unicorn-like donkeys up to the air.

"This growing pressure keeps growing, keeps growing, keep going cuz all we know is..." Luisa and Mirabel holding both hands as they are floating up.

"Pressure like a drip, drip, drip that'll never stop. Whoa-oa." The giant boulders fall from the sky and Luisa caught them before they crush Mirabel.

"Pressure that'll tip, tip, tip til you just go pop. Whoa-oa-oa-oa." Luisa caught few more boulders.

"Give it to your sister, it doesn't hurt and, see if she can handle every family burden. Watch as she buckles and bends but never breaks." Then the entire Madrigal/Estrella House lands on Luisa, crushing her. Mirabel shocked at this. But Luisa lifted the house up, not giving up.

"No mistakes! Just pressure like a grip, grip, grip and it won't let go. Whoa-oa." Luisa uses her legs to turns and tosses a House away.

"Pressure like a tick, tick, tick til it's ready to blow. Whoa-oa-oa-oa." Luisa dancing in the center while the donkeys dancing around her.

"Give it to your sister, and never wonder. If the same pressure would've pulled you under." Mirabel is on a boat as Luisa flexes a boat with her arm, Luisa pushed Cerberus to the ground with one finger and pulls Mirabel out under the ground.

"Who am I if I don't have what it takes? No cracks, No breaks! No mistakes! No pressure!" Luisa carries entire Encanto and toss it to the air as the smokes appears.

As the smoke clears, back in reality, Luisa is breathing heavy as Mirabel looks at her, stunned. Mirabel gives her sister a hug.

"I think you're carrying way too—" Then she got squeeze. "Much."

"Luisa picks Mirabel up and hugs her back, too hard.

"Maybe I over do it." Luisa admits.

"Yep." Mirabel croaks.

"Um, there is something you should know, last night, when you saw the cracks, I felt...weak." Luisa said.

"Wha-What, what, what?!"

"Luisa, the donkeys!" The man called out.

"On it!" Luisa calls back as she puts Mirabel down and getting the donkeys.

"Wait, wait, wait! What do you mean? What do you think's hurting the magic?" Mirabel asks.

"Don't know. But I heard the grown-ups once, before ío Bruno left, he had like some terrible vision about it." Luisa said as she picks up two donkeys.

"Tío Bruno? What was in his vision?"

"No one knows, they never found it." Luisa walks pass Mirabel, getting more donkeys. "But if something's wrong with the magic, starts with Bruno's tower, find that vision."

"Wait, how do you 'find' a vision?! What am I even looking for?" Mirabel asks.

Luisa lifted more donkeys on her back before she walks off. "If you find it, you'll know. But be careful. That place is off limits for a reason."

Mirabel looks back to Casita, before she runs off to find (Y/n).
