The day after Camila and Junior Hernandez arrive home they decided to take a break from work and spend time with their daughter.

"Buenos dias!" Camila says as she wakes up her daughter from her sleep. "how did you sleep niña?" She says as she opens up the bedroom curtains to let in some sunlight.
"Ay mami! it's too bright!" Amelia says as she hides underneath the blankets. "Why aren't you at work?" the girl mumbles.

"Your papi and I are taking the week off of work. You'll be seeing us a lot more"
Amelia removes the covers from covering her head and smiles at her Mom.

Once Amelia had gotten ready for the day, she enters the kitchen to eat breakfast. As she leaves the bathroom, the scent of café con leche and fresh pan tostada fill the apartment. She always loved eating breakfast with her family.

"Smells delicious Papi" Amelia compliments as she sits at the dining table with her Mom who sat there watching a telenovela on the television.
Junior had just finished cutting up watermelon, pineapple, mango and orange slices for the three to share when a knock was at their door.

Junior opens the door to see Penelope, Elena and Alex standing there. "Hola, come in" he says as he lets them through the door. "hola junior, hola cami" Penelope greets as she and Elena sit on the couch and Alex goes to sit by Amelia.

"Would you like some pan toastadas?" Camila offers which the two women decline while Alex helps himself. "Anyways, Have you seen mami?" Penelope says.

"Lydia? No we haven't seen her. Mija have you?" Junior says as he turns towards his daughter.
"No i haven't seen her since yesterday? Why what happened?" she asks in concern.

"Oh don't worry niña, i'm sure she's at Schneider's or at the supermarket." Penelope says as she places a hand on Amelias cheek.

"I'm heading to the supermarket now" Camila began, "I'll keep an eye out for her." She picks up her shopping list and handbag and exits the apartment while the three Alvarez's follow behind her, on their way to Schneider's.

"Papi, i'm going to go with them. I'll go to school with Alex as well." She smiles and kisses his cheek and then goes after her best friend and his family.

Once she had caught up with them at the elevator, Amelia noticed Alex's pants.
"What is this? where your pajamas to school day because I sure  didn't get the memo" she jokes.

Alex looks at the girl, " No, enjoso, Abuelita washed them because my cuffs where apparently shabby"

Amelia giggles and the elevator door opens.

The four arrived at the landlords door and knocked. Seconds later Schneider opened the door, still in his pajamas.

"Hello, Schneider. Listen, have you-" she gets interrupt when her son and his friend push the door open wider.

"Wow!" Alex says.
"I always forget how huge your apartment is." Amelia finishes.

"Nah come on, it's not that big. But let's talk in the parlour" he says as Penelope and Elena too renter the apartment.

"Schneider! Have you seen my Mom?" She asks as she follows the man to his parlour.
"Gosh, no." he suspiciously says.

Elena takes a whiff of the apartment and shuts the door. "Then why do i smell fried plantains and Cuban coffee?"

"Fine! She spent the night. But i want you to know that nothing happened" he clarifies causing Penelope to furrow her eyebrows at him.
"What were you thinking, chasing that woman away? She's funny, she's charming, and when she's angry she cleans" he motions to his clean apartment.

"Where is she?" Amelia asks as she slaps Alex's hand from touching Schneider things.
"Ow!" he exclaims as he rubs the hand.

"i don't know, after last nights ugliness, she spent the night and left without saying goodbye so she already knows the drill"
A moment later, a tall women in a black shirt and no pants enters the living room, picking up a cup of café con leche and leaving to the other side of the building.

Once Amelia notices the girl, she covers Alex's eyes which causes him to ask "did Abuelita forget to give her her pants two?"
Amelia removes her hand and chuckles.

After school, Amelia entered her apartment to see both her parents in the kitchen cooking up some food which filled the room with a delicious aroma.

"Is that ropa vieja?!" Amelia calls out as she puts her bag down and walks over to her Mom who stood at the stove.
"Yes mija, i'm going to bring some over the the Alvarez's later. Come, try this" her moth says as she waves her over to try it.

"Mami, it's perfect" She says as she licks her lips in pleasure.

"Your Mami never disappoints" Her father smiles.

"Mi amor can you pass me the bowl" Camila orders, "Mija you can go change out of your uniform"

Amelia em goes into her room to change into a new outfit when her phone vibrates from her pocket.

"Mija could you take this across the hall for them?" Camila asks as she hands her daughter a pot of freshly made ropa vieja.

Amelia nods and takes the pot from her mother, and makes her way across the hall.

"Hey!" Schneider greets as she walks in, "What've you got for us?" Schneider says, eyeing the pot.

Amelia places the pit down onto the empty space on the dining table and removes the lid.
"ropa vieja!!!!"Alex yells as he grabs a spoon from the kitchen to eat.
"Could you at least grab Carmen and I a spoon?" Elena says to the boy. as she shakes her head.
