Everything was quiet and the Rivera's and the Madrigals were quietly talking and laughing when Camilo spoke up.

"Hey I was wondering maybe we could do a game night tonight but since the Rivera's are here we could do teams?" Camilo asked

"That sounds fun". Socorro smiled

"I'm in". Dolores called

"Me too". Abel shook his head

Miguel smiled and laughed he was in, Isabela too and soon Antonio as they all agreed.

"Okay What's first?" Isabela Continued

" How About chess?" Mirabel suggests

"Me". Camilo answers

"And I'll go against you ". Rosa laughed

"Granted it should be easy ". Rosa added

"Ooh she got you". Abel laughed

"You're On ". Camilo shook her hand

They then set up the chess board and then sat opposite each other and Rosa took her first move moving her pawn to her spot, Camilo soon followed as the rest watched with interest, then she moved her pawn diagonally He soon followed moving his horse. Then in three moves she won it didn't take long long for her to pout.

"How did you do that!?" Camilo asked

"Practice and strategy also we have two chess players in our family so that kind of helps". She smirked

"That makes it 2 points for Rivera". Abel high fives Rosa

"While Camilo pouts how about cards next?" Dolores mentioned

"That works we propose Abel to play for us". Manny and Benny answer

"Okay, I guess I am up". Dolores started

Again they sat on opposite sides of the table ready to play.

Meanwhile Imelda was talking to Alma and Julieta  and Héctor was talking to Bruno when they heard a noise.

"What's that?" Elena asked

Victoria and Elena as well as Imelda  and Héctor and the rest of the adults went to check what was going on. They then noticed the kids playing games for a bit of competition and fun, they were all very clearly interested at what was going on.

"The Madrigals we decided to go family head to head". Miguel smiled

"Ahh sounds fun". Felix laughs

"It is". Benny exclaimed

"This last round will determine it all unless it's a tie then we go for a tie breaker." Mirabel explains

"Oh I'd like to see this". Imelda smirked

"Same here". Pedro added

"Okay what's the last round?" Luisa asked

"Oh I got it hacky sack and I think Mirabel should go". Antonio suggests

"Ooh nice Mirabel is ferocious when it comes to hacky sack". Isabela called
