Me and Ignacio were sitting on the bridge tired from looking for Mirabel. We have spent hours looking for her and no luck what so ever. Ignacio put his arm around my shoulder as my head is on his. Then I heard clops and I looked up to see Alma, Mirabel, and someone else but I didn't see who it was. We ran to the casa to see Mirabel and Alma. We all hugged her and then Mira looked at the casa and smiled. 

Look at this home, we need a new foundation
It may seem hopeless but we'll get by just fine
Look at this family, a glowing constellation
So full of stars and everybody wants to shineBut the stars don't shine, they burn
And the constellations shift
I think it's time you learn
You're more than just your giftAnd I'm sorry I held on too tight
Just so afraid I'd lose you too
The miracle is not some magic that you've got
The miracle is you, not some gift, just you
The miracle is you
All of you, all of youOkay, so we gonna talk about Bruno? (That's Bruno)
Yeah, there's a lot to say about Bruno
I'll start, okayPepa, I'm sorry 'bout your wedding, didn't mean to be upsetting
That wasn't a prophecy, I could just see you were sweating
And I wanted you to know that your bro loves you so
Let it in, let it out, let it rain, let it snow, let it goThat's what I'm always saying, bro
Got a lotta 'pologies I got to say
(Hey, we're just happy that you're here, okay?) Uh, but
Come into the light, the triplets all reunite
And no matter what happens we're gonna find our way
Yo, I knew he never left, I heard him every dayWhat's that sound? (Oh, oh)
I think it's everyone in townHey
Lay down your load (lay down your load)
We are only down the road (we are only down the road)
We have no gifts, but we are many
And we'll do anything for youIt's a dream when we work as a team (all of you, all of you)
You're so strong
Yeah, but sometimes I cry (all of you, all of you)
So do I
I may not be as strong but I'm getting wiser
Yeah, I need sunlight and fertilizer
Come on, let's plant something new and watch it fly
Straight up to the sky, let's goThe stars don't shine, they burn
The constellations glow
The seasons change in turn
Would you watch our little girl go?
She takes after youAll of you, all of youHome sweet home
I like the new foundation
It isn't perfect
Neither are we (that's true)
Just one more thing
Before the celebration (what?)
We need a doorknob
We made this one for you


(Camilo, Pepa, Dolores, Mariano, Antonio, and Felix)

We see how bright you burn


Luisa, Ignacio, and Amalia

We see how brave you've been

Julieta and Agustin

Now, see yourself in turn


Bruno

You're the real gift, kid, let us in

Abuela

Open your eyes

Abre los ojos
What do you see?
Mirabel

I see me

All of me


Mira put the doorknob in and the house came back again. I smiled and saw Ignacio squeezing me. Then Casita brought all of us in and I felt a glow inside me. So I pushed my hands forward and water came out. Then the floors moved and Ignacio held me while we took our photo and we lived happily ever after.
