AN: Hey, Author here! Just to begin with the story, I am Colombian, Asi es papitos, pura sangre Colombiana aqui. So there will be some reference to other parts of our culture, such as food, traditions and why not curses? We have our fair share of bad words and I can't wait to use them, so that's also a warning about cursing.

Also, I watched the movie 2 days ago so some things aren't fresh and I watched it with the Spanish Dub, so this won't be perfectly written with the English lines (And also I ain't that good in English so thanks Grammarly for helping me lol)

That should be all for now, enjoy the story ;)

Some events from the original story might change so things I've planned for this story work better and make more sense, hope you don't mind!

The magic, the Encanto, the family gift, casita, all of it may be in danger...

Not a big deal right?

...

Right?

It wouldn't be so much if it wasn't for the fact that she found herself in one of her long time missing uncle Bruno, whose name or mentioning was out of limits, it may cause a hurricane from Pepa if one is not careful at Bruno's mention, or maybe even hailing.

But his whispered mention didn't help Mirabel, the giftless Madrigal, at all... Soon various family members and even townsfolk began again recalling the Seer, almost everyone recalling terrible "events" caused by her uncle and how as years passed by, his existence or the ones around him were taboo even by the single fact of thinking of him.

The first ones to approach and tell their dismay were Tio Felix and Tia Pepa, talking about the events of their wedding and how Bruno ruined it with a prophecy about rain. While Pepa remembered the events way too bitterly than anyone would do after decades, Felix simply followed after with a lovely memory of their wedding day, there might be more layers underneath about this whole hurricane fiasco. But sadly, all this information didn't help Mirabel in her search for the truth

Dolores followed up with her telling, considerably more positive than the last one as she mostly remembered their uncle by sounds, specifically sand. Mirabel tried to grab into each of her words, they were actually more useful as they described him as someone who could barely deal with his prophecies himself, bringing a bigger breach between him and other family members.

But there was something else there too... Dolores seemed to use a strange present conjugation as they talked over their mysterious uncle, even if it was weird, Mirabel overlooked it as she had to hurry up in her search of answers through the family members who could have even the slightest idea about the nature of Bruno's visions, and by so, the one Mirabel herself was.

Then Camilo, equally chismoso as his sister, found the opportunity to scare Mirabel as the natural prankster he is, exaggerating his description of their long-gone uncle. But here's the problem, the last time both cousins saw their Tio Bruno was a decade ago, they were both 5 at that point, so their memories of him are blurry and almost gone at all. "Seven-foot frame, rats along his back", yep, this was definitively an exaggeration about some traits their uncle might have had, this did not help Mirabel at all on her quest of saving the magic.

People in the town woke the name of Bruno again and took the chance to retell their prophecies, although all of them were... Useless for Mirabel.

A dead Goldfish, someone getting fat, and the priest losing his hair...
