Google translate to English - A newfound cute and bonding moment from Mirabel and Isabela :)

"Um- are you- are you sure about this Isa?" Mirabel's voice rang nervously, her hands tightly gripping on for dear life as she peered down towards the ground below. "Cause- I kinda like my feet, you know, on solid ground." She leaned and swayed and wobbled as she fought to keep her balance on the thin vines. She may have agreed enthusiastically when Isabela had originally suggested it, but now her stomach was full of butterflies. Her eyes squeezed shut and she grit her teeth as she almost fell off and now she was leaning at an angle. Her feet were on one end of the vine swing and her torso was on the other, arms tightly wrapped to try and ensure she would stay on.

"Oh, you're fine Mira." Isabela tsked and shook her head, her smooth hair swinging as she leapt up and swung herself around onto a vine identical to the one Mirabel was on. "Carefully now, grab both vines." she instructed, which Mirabel hesitantly did, her movements shaky and uncertain while she continued to refuse to open her eyes. "And spread your feet back out and put your weight on the left." Together they held the same stance. "Mirabel, before we try the swing, you have to have your eyes open. You have to see what you're doing." Isabela was insistent and confident in her stance and her voice. It was enough to get Mirabel to peek open until her eyes were fully wide open once more.

"You've got this, Mira. You're doing great just by holding your balance." The smile Isabela gives her warms her up and she feels a little bit better about this already. "You ready?" she asked her little sister. "Gently press your weight from one foot to the other" she instructs now, and together they rock to and fro, slowly speeding up their swing. "Okay!" Isabela and Mirabel's smiles were mirrored now as they both thoroughly enjoyed their new bonding activity. "Three... Two... One... Swing!" In one fluid motion both girls jumped to the right, holding onto the vine swing with just one hand as they threw themselves, arching back around their feet and coming back to the bottom loop of the vine swing.

They continued to swing in sync, practicing the motions as a team. Once Mirabel got through her nerves over the height, she found she quite enjoyed it. Swinging on her sister's vines, practicing acrobatics? It was never something she thought she'd ever do. But now? Now, as she moved with her sister and learned from her sister, Mirabel found there was both great fun and great confidence in the graceful, sky-high athletic activity. Today, their practice session was all about going high and going fast, building up her confidence for being so far up in the air.

Flowers of many colors bloomed up below them, creating a piled cushion to protect them when they finally leapt off. Continuing their in-sync swing, they let go as their feet left the vine one more time, instead grabbing onto each other with shouts of joy as they fell through the air. The flowers in the bed below swallowed them and jumped through the air upon impact before floating back down slowly. Fingers stayed linked as they continued to giggle and giggle.

A soft knock sounded at the door and a kind older woman leaned herself into her daughter's room, a gentle smile to see her eldest and youngest finally bonding again. She remembered the wall that separated them after Mirabel's candle ceremony all those years ago. It was nice to finally see it breaking, crumbling down. "Mama!" Both girls almost squealed their hellos, scrambling up to come to her, and Julieta was hit with a wave of heavy nostalgia. For must a moment, they looked like kids again, small children running for their mother instead of the teenager and adult woman that were in front of her. As they embraced her, she knew. Her girls were healing. They would be okay. They all would.
