We are all in this together

Chapter 9 : Our fate

The next scene shows Mirabel following the rats and seeing where they lead her to. The rats hurry up the walls behind a painting but one has some difficulty climbing in. Mirabel pushes the painting just a little bit and it gently swings open.

"That's strange". Coco pointed out

Bruno shrunk in his seat as he watched all of the past unfold.

Mirabel then climbed through the painting and followed the rats on a rickety board they stopped when a figure picked them up then a blast of lightning hit the figure and it turns it out be Mirabel's Tio Bruno.

"Bruno!?" Pepa and Julieta were surprised

"Surprise". Bruno did jazz hands

"I thought you left the Encanto and never came back". Pepa was shook

"See... I was but I decided not to". Bruno slowly explains

"Or because of the fact I made you stay and you knew the mountains were tall". Casita answers

"Yeah that too". Bruno laughs

"Wait you were sneaking into the kitchen and stealing Arepas from the cabinets, I thought it was Camilo all this time". Julieta said

"Rude". Camilo huffs

"IS NO ONE GOING TO TALK ABOUT YOU BEING IN THE WALLS". Pepa screamed

"How long exactly?" Luisa asked

"Ten years ". Bruno starts

"TEN YEARS?!" They yelled

"YOU MEAN TO TELL ME YOU WERE FOR TEN YEARS AND NEVER LEFT ONE SINGLE NOTE OR I DON'T KNOW ACTUALLY SEND A MESSAGE". Pepa yells

"Pepi, I had to to protect Mira But obviously that didn't that didn't work or make things any better she was treated just as I feared you still blamed her for literally anything you can think of". Bruno spat

"You're right and I am sorry Mi vida". She looked towards Mirabel

"Estas bien Tia". Mirabel smiled

"But that is no excuse and I know why you really left it was because you hated us and the way we treated you I'm sorry ". Pepa sunk to the floor

" hey, hey no what kind of idiotic thing would make you say that". He sat down next to Pepa

"I don't know". Pepa shook her head

"I could never hate you ever granted you may be annoying sometimes but I could never hate you not in a million years ". Bruno smiled

"I just thought that you didn't think of us anymore and that it didn't hurt to leave". Pepa saddens

"Are you kidding me, of course it hurt it hurt more than anything you know how many times I wished to come back you know how many times I cried myself to sleep ". Bruno exclaimed

"It hurt leaving the family and I never want to do That again". He stated firmly

Pepa smiled and hugged him tightly.

"Good". Julieta smiled

The movie continued on as Mirabel jumped back in fright to see her estranged Tio, then he flash later he started running; Mirabel herself started running after him she started building up speed and was almost close to catch up with him.

" Jesus, Mira your fast". Camilo smiled

Mirabel laughs and smiles.

"Helps when your chasing after little ones ". Mirabel said
