Chapter Text
The Madrigal family, the main family of all Encanto, a family with many peculiarities, not only for their “gifts”, but also for their different little secrets that each member kept, but one of the best known secrets, not only for the family. , but also for the entire town, it was about Mirabel's room, a room, which was not a magical room, like the others, but a special room, the room had a double wooden door with her name and image carved on it and that It was all that everyone knew, but not only the town, but also the Madrigal family, since from the day Mirabel received her room, as a gift from Casita, Mirabel prohibited everyone from entering her room, from her grandmother, even the new members of the town, no one could enter Mirabel's room, so it was normal to encounter this type of situation:
Mirabel! – Alma exclaimed during lunch.
What's happening Señora Alma? – Mirabel responded with a partial smile that everyone noticed was not sincere.
Alma was a little offended that Mirabel referred to her, not that she was rude, but everyone in the town really noticed Mirabel whom she appreciated the most from the Madrigal family, since while Mirabel called Alma and Isabela: “Señora Alma and Señorita Isabela” respectively, she called the other members of the family normally or with a pet name.
Mirabel, I need you to help Señora. Rodríguez with her sewing orders.
No problem Señora. Alma, I love spending time with Señora. Mariana – Mirabel responded, she knew that Alma was offended that Mirabel preferred to spend more time with people from the town than with her family, but there was nothing Alma could do about it.
When you finish, I need you to repair a dress for Isabela, accidentally one of her rose bushes caused damage to the balls of the dress.
No problem, after I came back, you and Isabela can go to the living room and work on the damage to the dress and I would deliver it to Isabela tomorrow morning.
I would prefer it to be in your room – Isabela said.
And we go back to the same old thing...... I have told everyone since I was 7 years old that no one (except Antonio while Mirabel is in her room) can enter my room - Mirabel responded, a little angry, for having the same weekly conversation, about someone in the family wanting to enter. to his room for any reason.
Mirabel! – Alma said in her normal tone of voice to speak with Mirabel.
Don't even dare say it's my fault, since you were the one who told me when I was 6 that rooms are only for those with a gift, so I couldn't spend all my time in a room that isn't mine, and since no one was interested in visiting me at nursery, you have no reason to go to my new room……. And you know what, unfortunately it will take me all afternoon until dinner time to help Señora. Mariana with her orders – Mirabel responded, matching Alma's way of expressing herself.
But you don't know if it will take you all afternoon – Isabela said.
Oh, believe me, I'll make sure it takes me all afternoon – Mirabel said, before retiring to her room.
Mom, I thought that by this point we had all accepted that no one enters Mirabel's room - Julieta said, knowing that now Mirabel would not be there all day and that after dinner, she will disappear in her room, until dinner time. dinner.
I cannot accept that Mirabel has this type of childish behavior.
Ma, we have all tried to see Mirabel's room, we all thought that when she told us that no one could enter her room, that at most it would be a week or two, before she would let us in, but the weeks turned into months and the months years, in fact, we cannot even try to open the door while she is not there, Casita literally moves us from the door to another side, once she took Antonio to Mirabel's room to take care of him during the afternoon, she in the sense The literal word came out, took Antonio from my arms and went back into her room before I could say anything – Pepa told her mother, trying to calm down.
It's more, Abuela, Mirabel knows when someone tries to enter her room, once I tried to open the door, obviously Casita took me away from the door and in the afternoon, Mirabel questioned me about what I was doing when trying to enter her room - Camilo said, while taking another empanada from the main bowl.
And the only thing we know about the room is that it is like mine, it blocks internal and external sound, so it is impossible to know what he does while he is in his room – Dolores said.
The only one who knows Mirabel's room is Antonio and he would never say anything about it, he promised Mirabel, everyone in the family had tried and failed to get Antonio to talk, but Antonio always responded the same: “I won't say Nothing, I told Mirabel that I wouldn't say anything, if I do, she will get angry with me, and I don't want that."
Well, let's leave this topic for another time, we must focus on the event that follows, Antonio's ceremony is in 2 months, so we must make everything perfect this time – Alma said, to which the majority at the table nodded.
Meanwhile Mirabel was already in the town, on her way to Señora. Mariana's dressmaker's shop. On the way she recognized several people, among them a group of children that she usually takes care of in the afternoons.
Mirabel! Are you going to be at story time on Friday? – The children told Mirabel while they all tried to hug her at the same time.
Little ones, little ones, calm down a little, obviously I'll be at story time - Mirabel adored the little ones in the town and the little ones in the town adored her.
Wow, those children really love you Cachetona – Said a male voice, behind Mirabel.
Yes, some problem My favorite shaggy guy – Mirabel responded when she saw her very special friend (Boyfriend) Manuel.
Favorite, does that mean you know others? – Manuel said with a raised eyebrow.
Maybe yes, maybe not, I'm on my way to Señora. Mariana, will you come with me?
Manuel just nodded and together they went to Señora. Mariana, Mirabel spent only a couple of hours helping Señora. Mariana with her work since in the words of the 3 seamstresses of the entire town Mirabel had a unique skill with sewing, to the point where her work was nicknamed: “A Mirabel Madrigal or M&M”, which were the most coveted dresses in all of Encanto, since Mirabel only made 3 dresses a month, except in the month of her birthday, or that of Luisa or Antonio. , since those months, Mirabel only made 2 dresses, her work was so sought-after and specialized that the people of the town booked an appointment with Mirabel almost a year in advance and her dresses took weeks or even 1 month for the other seamstresses, fix the damage to the dresses, since in their words: “It is very complicated to fix Mirabel's work, since they are very detailed, with very delicate patterns, you cannot speed up the repair of a Mirabel dress with little time in advance…….. And it doesn't matter if she can fix them in 2 days, that girl sews by hand faster than any of us with a sewing machine and that girl, 2 days after learning to stitch, was already doing patterns of all kinds……. "You have to recognize talent when you find it," after Señora. Mariana helped (who gave Mirabel some cookies as an extra thank you), Mirabel and Manuel went to a small hill to spend some quality time together.
After dinner, when everyone was in their rooms, something strange happened, from one moment to the next everyone was in a new room, a room full of chairs, food of all kinds, bathrooms, and a huge glass plate in front.
What happened? Mirabel, now what did you do – Alma said angrily.
Don't you dare blame me for this Alma, as far as we all know you could be the culprit - Mirabel responded matching Alma's tone.
Ma, Mija, you both need to calm down, we all appeared in this room from one moment to the next – Julieta said trying to calm her youngest daughter and her mother.
Julie, what's happening? – Pepa said with a small cloud over her head.
While everyone was discussing what was happening, or presenting their hypotheses of what was happening, while everyone was talking, Antonio found something.
Mi’Ma, Mi’Ma, I found a note – Antonio said energetically as he gently pulled Mirabel's night clothes.
At that moment everyone remained silent, and Mirabel began to read the note.
“Madrigal family, attitudes among you have caused problems that you must solve to ensure that you remember what is most important about the miracle, among the ways to make you remember it, I have chosen to show you different stories, past, present, future, stories about lives that could be yours or could be yours, by the way, don't worry about time, everyone will return to the moment they disappeared."
Before they could say anything, the huge glass plate lit up, showing the first of the stories.
