Once everyone had finished their breakfast, Camilo and Adriana made their way to the front door. Adriana grabbed a small satchel before she walked outside, probably something to carry her items in. I followed the two of them up to the door frame so that I could say goodbye before they left. It was only good manners.

"Y/n, let's go!" Camilo told me, tapping his foot.

"What? Oh" I said "I'm not going with you, it'll just be you and Adriana."

"What!?" Camilo shouted "Why not?"

"I'd rather stay home, I have homework to catch up on, Cami" I answered.

"Who cares about homework?" Camilo said "Come with us!"

I rolled my eyes at him. Then he clasped his hand together and made puppy eyes at me.

"Please?" Camilo pleaded.

"No, Cami," I said, "I have math to do. Just go!"

"Dude, I'm getting impatient" Adriana muttered.

Camilo gave me a sad look, one last offer for me to come along. I shook my head and he pouted, which made me laugh a little.

"Go on, Cami, Adriana's getting impatient" I said.

"Okay...We'll be back soon," Camilo said before turning to Adriana.

He leaned his face very close to hers and had a smug smile on his face. Adriana gave a slightly disgusted, slightly confused expression in return.

"What are you looking at?" Adriana asked.

"Oh, nothing" Camilo said "I just wanna wish you good luck not falling in love with me while we're on this shopping trip."

Adriana snorted while she laughed. Camilo chuckled along with her. Camilo had no idea that Adriana was a lesbian.

"Camilo, you're not my type," Adriana said, patting his head.

"Are you sure about that? I'm sure anyone would fall in love with me if they went on a trip alone with me like this" Camilo bragged.

Adriana rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Camilo, I'm taken" Adriana told him "I have a girlfriend."

Camilo pulled his face away from hers with a blank expression. Then the tips of his ears turned red.

"Oh! Oh, I-" Camilo stuttered "I'm sorry! I had no idea! I'm sorry that I assumed, I didn't even consider-"

Adriana laughed, interrupting Camilo.

"It's fine!" Adriana exclaimed "It was fun to see your reaction though."

Adriana opened a portal right in front of her before Camilo could reply.

"Okay, let's go," Adriana said.

"What? In there?" Camilo asked, pointing at the portal.

Adriana nodded in response.

"What!? No!" Camilo exclaimed "I'm not gonna go through some creepy portal!"

"It doesn't even feel like anything, Camilo" Adriana assured him "It's perfectly safe."

"We can just walk," Camilo said, backing away from the portal.

"It's a lot faster if you just use the portal, Cami," I said.

"Do you even know where the mask shop is?" Camilo asked "How are you gonna teleport us there if you don't know where it is?"

"That's what you're here for" Adriana replied, casually "You know where it is so when you go through it, it'll take you there, I'll just go in with you."

"No!" Camilo protested "I don't trust you."

"C'mon! It feels like nothing! You'll be fine!" Adriana said "Just put your hand on my shoulder so that we can go!"

"No!" Camilo repeated "I'm not trusting a word you say."

"Cami..." I said, softly "It's perfectly safe, don't be such a baby and go!"

Camilo thought for a moment. His eyes were bouncing from me to the portal, me to the portal, over and over. Then he sighed and put his hand on Adriana's shoulder.

"Fine..." Camilo groaned "But if we end up somewhere super dangerous or we get there and I'm horribly disfigured, I swear-"

"It'll only take you to somewhere dangerous if you think of somewhere dangerous!" Adriana told him "So don't think about it."

"Ahh! Now every dangerous place I've ever heard of is flashing through my mind!" Camilo yelled.

Adriana sighed and closed the portal.

"Fine, we'll just walk..." Adriana said "I'm not trusting you with control over where this portal takes us."

Camilo nodded, fidgeting with his ruana. Adriana started walking away from Casita.

"Bye, Y/n" Adriana said, not turning back to look at me.

Camilo gave me a bright smile.

"Bye Y/n!" Camilo exclaimed "Try not to miss me too much! We'll be back soon!"

"I'll try" I replied, sarcastically "Bye, Cami!"

Then Camilo started running away from Casita so he could catch up to Adriana. I closed the door after I waved at the two of them and looked up at our miracle flower. Then I saw Mirabel, pacing in her room. She looked distressed.

'I should check on her...' I thought.

I made my way upstairs and knocked on Mirabel's door. The enchanted wood made a deep clunk sound as I knocked on it.

"Come in!" I heard Mirabel yell from her window.

No, but I'm starting to genuinely think that this story might get to chapter one hundred. I also don't really have an ending planned lmao-

Good luck to me, I guess
