Hours passed, and Mirabel and Camilo were playing with eachother again as their mothers watched. Once again their laughter was heard from all over Casita and Julieta and Pèpa were so happy to see them smiling again...but that happiness didn't last long once they all saw Alma standing in the doorway of Casita.
"I can't even leave the house for a few hours to go help the people in this town. What are you two doing now?" She said as she walked in.
"Mamá please...don't do this again. You're being to hard on them...please just leave them be.." Julieta pleaded.
Alma glared at both Camilo and Mirabel.
"This has gone on long enough. Mirabel I told you to stop bothering him and Camilo I told you to not be goofing off with her. You have better things to do...that and Mirabel has become a bad influence."
"Bad influence...?!"
Julieta snapped. That may have been her mother but she was not about to let her talk about her daughter that way.
"Yes!! You should have heard what Camilo said to me earlier!!"
"Thats not her fault!! You're too hard on the both of them and Im sure he was just protecting my daughter from you!! In all honesty I don't blame him if he snapped at you because you have crossed the line!!"
"What did you say to her?" Pèpa asked Camilo calmly.
Camilo looked at her.
"Since she can't be here to help her granddaughter they way she's suppose to then I'll do it for her."
Pèpa smiled. She could hear the determination in his voice. She knew that Alma probably wanted her to fuss at him but she couldn't...because how could she get mad at her son for standing to Alma to protect his cousin from getting hurt. In all honesty...Pèpa was proud of him.
"Mirabel has done nothing but filled his head with mischief...and you can see the results for yourself" Alma said angrily. "She's been nothing but trouble ever since she didn't get a gift. You all says she's special but all I see is a careless child that's trying to ruin this family."
"That's enough mamá!!" Pèpa yelled. "You have no clue how much Mirabel has helped us all because you're too focus on the protecting the Encanto!!"
Pèpa and Julieta ended up in a screaming match with Alma which left Camilo and Mirabel pretty much alone. Camilo slowly looked at his cousin and saw that she was looking down at the floor.
"Mirabel..." He said quietly.
He didn't get a response.
He began to worry that Alma had finally broke Mirabel's spirit completely.
"Mira..." He called out again.
Still nothing.
He started to panic a little...and of course all the screaming didn't help. He decided to try and take her away from all the commotion so he reached for her hand..but as he tried to grab it, her fist clinched.
"Im special without a gift.." She whispered.
Camilo looked up at his cousin.
"What...?"
Mirabel inhaled sharply and shouted:
"IM SPECIAL WITHOUT A GIFT!!"
