Tw: Blood, Censored Swearing

It Has Been A Day Since Casita Was Rebuilt And The Madrigals Can Finally Have Days Off And The Clades Were Still On Vacation As Mirabel Was Teaching Ethan How To Sew When Pepa And Felix Walk In.

"Morning, Tio, Tia, Is There A Problem?" Mirabel Asked.

Pepa Shook Her Head And Answered, "No, We Just Need You Two To Do Us A Favor."

"What's That?" Ethan Asked.

"Well, Ethan, Your Parents And Abuelo Took Alma To Therapy, Dolores, Isabela, Luisa, Are Having A Day Out, Camilo's Entertaining The Town Kids, And Me, Pepa, Julieta, Agustin, And Bruno Are Going Out, So We Were Thinking, Can You And Mirabel Watch Antonio For A While?" Felix Asked.

Ethan Thought Of It, But Mirabel Answered, "Yes, I Guess That's Okay, You And The Others Have Fun Now."

Pepa And Felix Walk Out Of Casita And Ethan And Mirabel Walk Out The Nursery With Splat Following Them And To Antonio's Door And Mirabel Knocked On It.

Antonio Opened His Door And Saw The Two Teenagers And They Walk In As They Hear The Sounds Of Animals Flood The Room.

"Morning, Guys," Antonio Said.

"Morning, Little Man, Antonio, Right? Me, My Family, Our Friends, Legend, And Splat Were At Your Ceremony Three Nights Ago, Is It True That You Can Talk To Animals, Including My Dog?" Ethan Asked.

Antonio Nodded And Explained, "Yes, I Can Talk To Toucans, Jaguars, Capybaras, Coatis, Hummingbirds, And Tapirs, You Should've Seen My Room, It's The Coolest Ever, It Looks Just Like The Rainforest!"

Mirabel And Ethan Chuckle And Ethan Asked, "Oh, We Did, Also What About Splat? He's Like An Animal, But We Can Understand Him, You Could Too."

Ethan Turned To Splat And Said, "Ask My Girlfriend's Cousin Here Something."

Splat Crawled To Antonio And Chittered Something In His Ear.

"He's Asking If You Guys Want To Check Out My Tree Again, You Guys Wanna?" Antonio Asked.

Mirabel Shrugged And Answered, "Of Course, Lead The Way, Toñito."

Mirabel And Ethan Followed Antonio To The Trunk Of The Tree As Splat Rolled To It.

"Okay, Little Dude, What Do You Wanna Show Us First?" Ethan Asked.

"Let Me Show You Guys Chispi's Secret Room," Antonio Said As He Stepped On A Stone That Opened A Door On The Tree And It Showed A Capybara In It.

Ethan Walked Up To The Capybara And Stuck His Hand Out To Pet It And Said, "Hey, Little Guy."

The Capybara Grumpily Turned Away And Antonio Said, "I Don't Think He Was Ready To Come Out."

"Oh, Sorry," Ethan Said To The Capybara.

"Are There Other Animals, Antonio?" Mirabel Asked.

Splat Sat On A Branch And Suddenly To A Python Staring At Him As It Opened His Mouth, Showing Its Fangs As It Got Ready To Attack Him, But Splat Slapped It And It Slithered Away.

"Oh, That's A Python, Don't Worry, He Won't Eat You," Antonio Said.

"If It Does, Digesting Us Would Be Painful For Him," Ethan Replied.

"Up Next, My Slide," Antonio Said As He Walked Up Some Steps And Slid Down The Wooden Slide.

He Turned Up To Mirabel And Ethan And Said, "Alright, Guys, Your Turns."

"We Don't Know, It Looks A Little Steep, But Here Goes Nothing," Ethan Said As He, Mirabel, And Splat Slide Down.

"Wow, Antonio, That Was Pretty Fun," Mirabel Said.
