A/N: I just couldn't leave it that way. I couldn't!

   "She's coming back today!" Mirabel cheered, running down the hall. She raised her hands to knock on Camilo's door, but it was opened before.

He grinned happily.

   "Come on!" Mirabel said, running back.

Awoken by the sound of the cousins' footsteps, Isabela opened her door and peered out.

   "She won't be here for a few hours, you two. It's too early." she said, rolling her eyes.

   "We're just getting ready." Mirabel shrugged. "There's all sorts of things we want to do. You know she's staying for the week?"

   "No...I didn't." Isabela sighed. "Just, keep it down please?"

   "No problem, prima." Camilo said.

Isabela closed her door, and Mirabel continued down the stairs followed by Camilo.

   "I'll get the food this time." she said.

   "What, you don't trust me?" Camilo smirked, placing a hand on his hip.

Mirabel chuckled.

   "No."

~~~~~~~~

   "Is everything ready?" Camilo asked.

   "Yep." Mirabel answered, dusting her hands off.  "I wonder what Imena's bringing."

   "I can't wait." Camilo beamed, turning to look around.

As he did so, his eyes landed on a mirror.

I look horrible. I should go shower.

   "I'll be back." he said to Mirabel.

   "Where you going?"

   "I'm just going to shower real quick." Camilo said, combing his fingers through his hair.

Mirabel nudged him with her elbow.

   "Aww..." she cooed teasingly. "You're gonna do yourself up all pretty for Imena?"

   "Stop..." Camilo said, pushing her hand away.

   "Your face is all red!" Mirabel chuckled, poking his cheek.

   "Okay, okay I get it." Camilo smiled. "Be back in a few."

~~~~~~~~

   Mirabel looked at the clock. It'd been about forty five minutes.

She shook her head as she snickered quietly.

   "She's here! She's here!" Antonio's voice rang out in the room.

He skipped past Mirabel out the front door, beckoning for her to follow.

   Mirabel was instantly on her feet, looking down the pathway.

Sure enough, Imena was there. She ran up the hill, her arms full with luggage.

   "MIRABEL!" she yelled out.

   "IMENA, YOU'RE HERE!"

The three met halfway, sharing a nice hug.

   "I missed you!" Antonio said.

   "I missed you more, Antonio." Imena smiled.

   "Ikemba brought you?" Mirabel asked.

Imena nodded.

   "Yeah, he did."

   "Where is he?"
