Cracks and Snaps

The movie paused and the family look around trying to find out why. Suddenly a gold glow much like the doors appeared on the floor in front of Dolores. When it dimed, there was a box with sound waves as a design. She looked towards her mother and then Casita nudged the box to her. Pepa gave her daughter a nod and she picked it up. When she opened it there was a note and a necklace with a gold butterfly on it. She picked up the letter. Félix puts his hand on his daughter's arm "Read it out querido"

"Dear Dolores, We noticed how your gift affects you. Much like your Mama it is always on, and you never get a moment of pace, so we have made you this. Think of it as an off switch. When you put this necklace on you will have "normal" hearing you can take it off to get your full Gift back or hold on to it and focus on what/who you want to hear and only that. We should have given you this in the future, but we don't like to interfere but considering we are already changing history one way or another we wanted to give you this. Hopefully this will help turn it down.

Ps. we are working on something for your mama as well"

Dolores puts the letter down and pulls out the necklace

She went to put on the necklace, but Alma spoke

"Dolores, you need to keep that off and just throw it away. Your need to be able to hear everything in case something happens we can help the town, that is why you were given the gift."

"But-"

"No, we must use our gifts and earn them" Alma cut her off

"Mama the magic just gave Dolores this if it wanted her to hear everything then it wouldn't give it" Pepa said taking the necklace and slipping it over her daughter's head. It was almost intent. Dolores' eyes get wide and then starts to tear up.

"It's so quiet" Dolores whispers. "I can actually hear myself think"

Before any one can say anything else the movie starts to play aging. There is upbeat music and the whole town dancing and having fun. Suddenly Mirabel runs into the room and up to Alma
"The house is in danger! The house is in danger!" she says more clearly. The music stops "The tiles were falling, and there were cracks everywhere, And the candle almost went out." the town members gasp and starts to mutter.

"Show me" Alma says

The next sean the family gasp because the walls were patched up as if the cracks were never there. The fallen tile was gone, and the candle burned bright as ever.

"What?" the Mirabel on screen gasps. "No, that's...The cracks were there. They were everywhere. The house was in trouble, the candle was..." we see Isabela scoff and then Mirabel turns to Alma "Abuela, I promise..." she was cut off

"That's enough. Alma rases her hand and turns to the town's people. "There is nothing wrong with La Casa Madrigal. The magic is strong." She holds up a drink "And so are the drinks." the crowed laughs

"Mama did you just insinuate my 15 year old daughter to be drunk?" she didn't get an answer.

The next sean shows Mirabel siting on the counters while her mom is making food

"If it was all in my head, how did I cut my hand? I would never ruin Antonio's night. Is that really what you think?"

"Of cores I don't baby"

"What I think is that today was very hard for you."

Mirabel looks away from her mom "If it was all in my head, how did I cut my hand?"

"Shes got a point" Félix said

"I would never ruin Antonio's night. Is that what you think"

"What I think is that today was very hard for you."

That's..." she lets out a grunt "I was out for the family. And I may not be like Luisa, or like señorita who's even had a bad hair day, but..." she sighs "Whatever" 

"You don't have to be" the older sisters whisper

"YOU DON'T BELEAVE ME?!?!" Little Mirabel yells looking form her on screen mother to her off screen mother

"Of corse I believe you baby" Julieta says holding her hand out to her youngest as she clinged to her brother 'so much is being showed I have failed my baby'

"I wish you see the way I do. You are just like this. You're just as special as everyone else in this family."

"Mm-hmm." Mirabel holds her hand out to see the wound heal"

"You just my hand with an empanada con queso."

"I your hand with my love for my beautiful dauter  with her brain..." Mirabel grones as her mom holds her close "...and big heart, cool glasses..."

"Stop! Mamá!I know what I saw"

Julieta sighs "Mira, my lost his way in this family. I don't want the same for you." the triplets flinch at this, and Alma looks down wondering where her son is. "Get some sleep. You'll feel tomorrow."

"SEE YOU DON'T BELEAVE ME!"

The next seen plays we see Mirabel on the rufe next to the candle

"Oh careful" Luisa says looking in between her sister on screen and in the room

There are footsteps and Mirabel gasp and leans to the wall

"Mirabel eavesdropping is wrong" Alma says looking at her youngest granddaughter

"lo siento Abuela"

"Ay, Pedro. I need you. Cracks in our casita. If our family knew how venerable we truly are...If our miracle is dying... We lose our home again." she sighs "Why is this happening? Open my eyes. If the answer is here, help me find it. Help me protect our family. Help me save our miracle." Alma walks away and the camera pans to Mirabel

"I will save the miracle."

"Wait you believed her but made it seem like she was drunk" Isabella said looking over to her grandmother

"I was just-" she was cut off by Pepa

"You where what mother you just made the whole town think mi nube got into alcohol. What if it was Camilo who saw the cracks or one of the adults or even a villager"

"I don't know Pepa I was obviously doing what I thought was best for the family

"And that is making my sobrina look like she is and underage drinker." Bruno looked at the little girl in his arms "if that's how you kept treating her is it any wonder why that me left" his sisters gasped but he didn't let that stop him. He looked back at his mother and for the first time she saw her husband in his eyes. Pedro had the same look when a man frum there old town had struck his wife when he was drunk. Alma took a step back from shock. "You have always put the Encanto first above us. Growing up I was the second most person Julieta had to heal second only to Agustín and that was because of how the town reacted to my gift it was only recently you let me stay home."

"Burno we are not talking about this now." Alma said reagesting her shawl. It was the only thing she could to not to see her Pedro's eyes on their son.

"Then when! It's quite clear that you treat Mirabel differently in the future. You just told the whole town that Mira got drunk at her baby cosens birthday."

"We will talk about this later after we find out what is endangering the magic and get rid of the problem. Then we will figure out what to do with the fact that Mirabel will not be getting a gift." Alma sat down facing the screen putting a stop to the disgushen.

Bruno looked at his sisters and then back at the little girl in his arms he had her face tucked into his neck and he could feel her start to shake in silent tears. He reafemed his promise he made when he first had the involuntary vishen of her birth 'I will keep you safe Mirabel even if means leaving... only this time I won't be leaving you here to take my place'
