What if... The Madrigals lived in California.
What if Abuela Alma led them farther than they were meant to go in the main universe.
Much farther.
What if they didn't get a miracle candle. What if they got a miracle in a guitar and a voice?
What if the Madrigals were giftless. Normal. In the modern world.
What if, the Madrigals were famous?
What if Alma started it all by lifting the town's spirit with song?
.Mirabel Madrigal.
Her Madre was a famous baker who owned a baking school and had a job as a doctor in her previous years.
Her Papá owned a business her Tío Félix and she helped out at. Along with Antonio, sometimes. Though Tío Félix was often out of state with his wife Tía Pepa.
Her Tía was a meteorologist who was always traveling to different parts of the world for long periods of time.
Her Tío was an actor. Who had disappeared after a movie he was in ten years ago.
Her older sister señora perfecta Isabela was a model, singer, and dancer.
Her older sister Luisa was a famous woman athlete.
Her older cousin Dolores was a successful author that wrote mainly romance, poetry, and fantasy of magical families. And she was a fantastic singer! Dolores always had time for her.
Her older cousin/'twin' Camilo was an actor, dancer, and singer. He chose to go more into acting because he was close to Tío Bruno and they would do plays at the park before he disappeared.
And Abuela Alma started it all by singing in Spanish mourning for her dead husband Abuelo Pedro and handling triplets.
If they could do all that. She could too. She was a Madrigal after all.
¡.O.!
Mirabel slipped on her embroidered sweater and skirt. She walked to her mirror and adjusted her glasses.
"Make the family proud." Time to open the door and get ready for a loud morning. She turned the doorknob for the satisfying click and walked out.
"CAMILO! Get down here to say goodbye to your mother!" Tío Félix yelled while helping Tía Pepa with luggage.
"MIRABEL IT'S TIME TO GO!" Her Papá yelled. So Mirabel ran downstairs and grabbed a morning arepa.
"Dolores! Hurry up we need to move!" Tío Félix yelled again.
"ISABELA PICK AN OUTFIT ALREADY VAMOS VAMOS." Abuela Alma yells.
"FINE! Bye Mamí, see you next year." Camilo grumbles while walking downstairs and grabbing breakfast.
"I'm coming Abuela! Just wait a few more minutes!" Isabela yelled in frustration upstairs.
"I'm coming Papá!" Dolores says and runs down the stairs with all her books, laptops, journals, and everything else.
"I'm coming!" Mirabel yelled putting on her bag and running downstairs.
"Camilo, don't be like that. It's just a few months." Her Mamá says softly while getting her bag.
"Last time it was 'a few months' she came back after three years!" Camilo muttered and ran upstairs to get his bag. Mirabel had tried to convince him it was for something important once when Tía was gone but he wouldn't and it turned into an argument... And they barely talked after that...
"ANTONIO! We're gonna be late!!!" Mirabel yelled up the stairs. Antonio came running downstairs and hugged his Mamá and grabbed an arepa.
"OUT OF THE HOUSE INTO THE CARS AND LIMO LET'S GO!" Abuela Alma yelled. Luisa ran downstairs and into a car. Isabela finally appeared in the view of everyone with a sparkly dress and a bun.
"Too much?" She asked.
"No, no. Beautiful let's go!" Abuela Alma says wiping away fake tears. Camilo pushed Isabela out of the middle of the stairs making her stumble down a bit and ran out of the house along with his side of the family minus Antonio.
The rest of us got out of the house once Isabela stopped complaining and Mamá convinced her it was just a hard day for him today. Isabela was still arguing that he'd done this before but her Mamá had told her something she couldn't quite hear.
Tía Pepa, Tío Félix, Dolores, and Camilo went into their car to go to the airport to drop Tía Pepa and Tío Félix off.
They wanted Antonio to go but he wanted to stay.
Luisa drove off to training.
Isabela and Abuela drove off in the limo.
And Mirabel got in the car with Antonio, her Papá, and her Mamá.
"Ready for a day at the school Mamá?" Mirabel asked.
"Of course! The bakers are already there getting ready and I have... Ay...Five minutes to get there. Adios Amores!"Her Mamá got out of the car and ran into the building.
"Hey, Papá what's business today?" Mirabel asked.
"We're selling some houses today," Her Papá says keeping his eyes on the road being as careful as possible.
"Okay! Tonio did you hear that! Today's gonna be fun!" Mirabel nudged her cousin. Antonio was curled up on his seat and looking out the window not paying attention to anything she was saying.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Mirabel asked him.
"What if Camilo's right and Mamá doesn't come back for three years. Or what if she doesn't come home at all?!" He asks while Mirabel made her padre keep looking at the road.
"She's gonna come back before you know it. Camilo was just... exaggerating! You know how he is. The days will fly by! Like a rainstorm into sunny days!" Mirabel says playing with her cousin's hair.
"How do you know?" Antonio asks quietly finally looking at her.
"I know. Because she LOVES you. And she would never leave you when you weren't ready. And she'll be right back soon enough! Your Papá too!" Mirabel smiles while tickling her primo to make him laugh.
"We're here! WE MADE THE DRIVE!" Her Papá announces. The two seated in the backseat cheered and smiled, ready to show houses.
Today was going to be the best! And that was enough.
¡.Camilo Madrigal.!
"Bye Mamí! Bye Papí!" Dolores waves with the car keys safely in her bag. Camilo gave a small wave and kept looking back to see if they were still there.
"Hey, they'll be back before you know it! But for now! I GET THE BEST BROTHER TO MYSELF FOR THE REST OF THE DAY!" Dolores announces to the whole airport. Camilo grabbed her hand and they walked outside together with bright smiles... At least for a little bit...
"It's them. Pepa's children."
"They're Madrigals?"
"Hm, where's their uncle. Think they would find him after TEN years! Maybe he's dead."
"Parents have gone again eh. Poor kids."
"I heard there's a new kid about five years old!"
" I wonder where they're going now!"
"Let's follow them!"
"Would they mind if I took a few pictures?"
"I wonder why they didn't bring Isabela along, she's so much prettier than Dolores."
Once Camilo had heard that last sentence he tuned them all out and turned around. to see who said it.
"Camilo..." Dolores says trying to stop him.
"Who said that," Camilo said in a calm dangerous tone but loud. "Who said Isabela was prettier than my sister. My sister is just as pretty and just as amazing. And-"
"Camilo, we have to go," Dolores says nervously grabbing his wrist and pulling him back.
"Fine, but I will find who said that," Camilo mutters, glaring. But in the end, he got into the car in the front next to Dolores.
"You know. I'm kind of glad you turned down the acting job to hang out with me... I missed you the last time." Dolores smiled while getting to the freeway.
( YOU'LL NEVER BE READY! MERGE!!!!! )
"I missed you too," Camilo smiled at her. He may have gotten yelled at by Abuela for not taking the part. But it was worth everything in the world. No one was going to take this away from him. Not even Abuela.
¡.Isabela Madrigal.!
"Isabela Madrigal! When is your new album coming out!"
"Miss Madrigal! Is there any love interest?"
"Isabela! When is Your mother's second season of A bakers' heart coming out!"
"Isabela! Why did your uncle disappear? And why has Camilo Madrigal been on the down-low turning down acting jobs? Why is everyone saying there's something going on at the Madrigal Mansion? Where is Dolores isn't she supposed to be here today too? Why haven't we seen the new kid and your sister yet?
"Soon. No, I do not have a love interest. Next month I think. I don't know where my uncle is, none of us do. I have no idea why Camilo is doing that. There's nothing wrong going on in casita. Dolores is busy. Uh... Thank you for your questions and good day." Isabela says perfectly politely and walks down to Abuela Alma.
"How was that?" Isabela asks in her 'perfect' voice.
"Perfecto mi amor. Now we have five interviews to get to vamos." Abuela says kissing her cheek. Isabela kept her smile on and walked on. It's for the family...
It's always, for the family...
