First Performance

Start from the beginning
                                    

"Oh, come on, kid." Héctor said face planting. Then that band finished up. "De La Cruzcito, you're on now!" Héctor and I guide a very nervous Miguel to the state's stairs.

"Miguel, look at me. Hey, look at me." Héctor said grabbing Miguel, lifting him off the ground and placing him in front of him. "You can do this. Grab their attention and don't let it go." He then push Miguel up the stairs. "Make them listen, Chamaco. You've got this."

"De La Cruzcito!" Héctor and I cheer for Miguel as he slowly walks on stage. The lady skeleton got off stage and Miguel slowly walk up to the mic. He looks at all the skeletons waiting for him to play. Making him step back a little.

"What's he doing? Why isn't he playing?" Héctor asked Dante and I. "Bring back the singing dogs!" Someone in the audience shouted. Miguel looks to us for help. I give a determine look before I got on stage. Héctor try to stop me but failed.

I walk up to Miguel. "Come De La Cruzcito where's your grito?" I asked him. Miguel gives a nervous confused look. "Come on!" I then let out a scream. Making people clap. Miguel take a deep breath. Before letting out his own scream making more skeletons clap. "Qué bien! Vámonos! Whoo!" Miguel then stared to play the guitar.

Miguel: "What color is the sky?"
(Name): "Ay mi amor, ay mi amor"
Miguel: "You tell that it's red"
(Name): "Ay mi amor, ay mi amor"
Miguel: "Where should I put my shoes?"
(Name): "Ay mi amor, ay mi amor"
Miguel: "You say..."
(Name): "Put them on you head!"
Miguel: "Ay mi amor, ay mi amor You make me un poco loco"
(Name): "Un poqui-ti-ti-to loco"
Miguel: "The way you keep me guessing I'm nodding and I'm yes-ing I'll count it as a blessing That I'm only Un Poco Loco"

"No! No! No!" Dante then pull Héctor on stage with us. Making more skeletons clap. He gives a nervous look before he starred to dance to the beat. "Not bad for a dead guy!" Miguel told him. "Not so bad yourself, gordito! Eso!" Héctor started to take himself apart as he dances.

Héctor: "The loco that you make me It is just un Poco crazy"
Miguel: "The sense that you're not making"
(Name): "The Liberties you're taking"
All: "Leave my cabeza shsking You're just un Poco Loco."

Héctor puts himself together and motions us to spin. We do as he said and spin back to the Mic giving our grito.

All: "Un poqui-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-to loco"

Héctor makes Miguel stand on his shoulders, picks me up barbarian style, with his head in my hands. Everyone clap loudly for us. Héctor set us down and I hand him back his head. When his head was back on he place his hands on our shoulders. "Hey! You did good! I'm proud of you. Eso!"

Miguel smile at Héctor, who throws his hands up in the air. Miguel and I follow throws our hands up as well. "Otra! Otra! Otra!" As the audience cheer for us. Miguel grabs my and Héctor's hands pulling us off stage. "Hey! Where are you going!" I asked him as we get pull away.

"We got to get out of here!" Miguel told us. "What? Are you crazy? We're about to win this thing." Héctor told him. The lady sketeon got on the Mic. "Damas y caballeros, I have an emergency announcement. Please be on the lookout for a living boy and girl. Answers to the name of Miguel and (Name)."

Héctor looks back and stops. "Earlier tonight Miguel ran away from his family. And his friend (Name) went after him. They just want to send them back to the Land of the Living."

Héctor then look down at us. "Wait, wait. You said De La Cruz was your only family." Héctor said to Miguel pull free and losing his hand. Miguel catches his hand but Héctor swipes it away, putting it back on. "The only person who could send you home."

"I do have other family, but..." Miguel started but Héctor cut him off. "You could have taken my photo back this whole time?!" He asked him.

"But they hate music! I need a musician's blessing." Miguel told him. "You lied to me!" Héctor said pointing at Miguel accusingly. "You're one to talk." Miguel told him.

"Look at me. I'm being forgotten, Miguel. I don't even know if I'm gonna last the night. I'm not gonna miss my one chance to cross that bridge because you want to live out some stupid musical fantasy."

"IT'S NOT STUPID!" Miguel told him. "I'm taking you to your family." Héctor said grabbing both our wrist and pulling us towards the stage. "LET GO OF US!" Miguel scream, trying to pull free. "You'll thank me later." He told him.

"Miguel, maybe he's right... I mean..." I said, causing Miguel to pull free and look at both of us angrily. "You two don't want to help me! You only care about yourselves!"

"Miguel, look at the situation were in. You're turning into a skeleton! And I'm about to disappear forever!" I reminded him. Miguel ignore me and took out Héctor's photo. "Keep you're dumb photo." He said tossing it away. "Miguel!" I said as Héctor and I run after it catch it.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" He yelled before I caught the photo. "I got it!" I told Héctor turning and smiling at him. He takes a breath of relief. We turn to where Miguel was but he was gone and so was Dante. "Hey, chamaco! Where did you go?" Héctor asked looking around.

"Stay close Cariño, can't lose you too." Héctor told me, taking my hand. We make our way through the crowd looking for Miguel. "Chamaco! I'm sorry! Come back!" Héctor said looking around. "Miguel! Miguel, please come back!" I pleated for my friend.
