1 week later 

"Be back before the ceremony tonight, Lyn!" Tía yells as I walk towards the front door

"Will do!! Te amo, Tía!" I yell back, closing the door with a smile

I walk around the town. People yelling out for those who pass by to buy from their markets, little children running around together, musicians give rhythm to the morning. I place some money in the hat near a group of townsfolk playing a beautiful song and smile. 

Continuing my walk, I notice the Madrigals

"See, Tío Félix married Pepa and my dad married Julieta, that's how Abuela became an abuela Madrigal! Lets go, let's go!~" Maribel sings

I smile at the family and get a small wave from Mariel herself before Abuela talks about how the family plans to use their gifts to help the whole town. The children ask more and more questions, causing Maribel to sing about ever member if her family.

After she leaves to sing about her 2 sisters, I walk over to Dolores

"So does the town break into song every day orrrr?" I joke

"It feels like it at this point, but today the kids had coffee and were exceptionally curious" Dolores laughs

"You." Camilo walks over with a squint in their eyes

"Me." I smirk, brining out faces slightly closer

He stares at me with a scowl before looking over at Dolores "When are we getting rid of them?"

"You're stuck with me for a year, bozo!" I place my hands on my hips with a smile

"Oh Dios mío this year is going to be terrible" They rolls his eyes with a groan

"It's not going to be terrible you're so dramatic. Antonio gets his gift today, that's not terrible!" Dolores starts walking towards the house and we follow her

"Anything can be terrible if Lyn is here" Camilo crosses their arms

"Damn just say you're in love with me already" I smile and run off next to Dolores, leaving Camilo standing there

"Ohhhh you shouldn't have said that" Dolores says as I walk up to her

"Why not? It seemed to work pretty well" I lean against the wall

"I know my brother well, they're not gonna leave you alone. He's gonna do anything in their little grimy hands to get under your skin" 

"I can handle it, I know how it fight my battles" 

"You don't understand..you know what? I'm just gonna leave it. You'll see eventually" 

"See what?" I give a confused face and turn back to the person in question, of which was giving me a smug smirk

"I do not like that smug smirk of his" I turn back to Dolores

"No body does, I can't count the amount of times I've almost smacked him because of it"

Me and Tía María made our way towards the Madrigal casita. I was a wearing a white button up shirt tucked into red, orange, and yellow layered skirt. My red hair was held back on both sides with a tulip pin. My lips were painted with a black lipsticks, and I had painted my nails as well.

I wanted to look my best for Antonio's special day, thankful that I was here for such a special event

"Bonitas!! Welcome, welcome" Camilo welcomes us, shape shifting into my Tía and shaking his hand
