Dia de los Muertos during COVID-19

November 01, 2020

Enrique Rivera: Wow! Papá Héctor made these songs based off of Imelda's pregnancy?

Socorro: (Comes to check outdoors) Papá?

Enrique Rivera: ¡Hola Socorro! There are so mamy remarkable stories about our ancestors when they were younger

Socorro Rivera: Like what?

Luisa Rivera: These stories are in the movies that we'll watch tomorrow

Socorro: ¿Porque Mañana, Mamá?

Luisa Rivera: Mañana es Día de los Muertos, mija.

Miguel Rivera: We have some more preparing to do and we might get some help our dead relatives. I'll be right back!

Luisa Rivera: Enjoy your break, mijo!

Miguel Rivera: (Gets himself to the marigold bridge as soon as he sees Pepita) ¡Hola Pepita, Hola Mamá Imelda!

Imelda Rivera: ¡Buenas tardes, Miguel! I see you've come to take a visit

Miguel Rivera: There's a lot I've learned about you, Héctor and Coco. But, we'll see the films tomorrow  after some dances.

(For about 6 hours Miguel and Imelda have been chilling out until Miguel realizes that it's time for dinner)

(At 7:45 PM in the land of the living...)

Miguel Rivera: ¡Hola, mi famila!

The Alive Riveras: ¡Hola Miguel!

Papá Franco: So Miguel, you took all the precautions, right?

Tío Berto: I hope you were safe especially if you went into the Mariachi Plaza.

Miguel Rivera: I went to see Mamá Imelda! It felt like she hadn't seen us in years, even though it's been months.

Tía Carmen: Well Miguel, I know we all miss our dead relatives due to the pandemic but at least were all together

Tía Gloria: The dead relatives are glad to be together and we still remember them. Especially, your Papá Héctor and Mamá Coco

Miguel Rivera: I'm sure Mamá Coco still loves hearing Remember Me, even during the pandemic. (Yawning)

(Later after the family gets ready for their sleepover all together)

Socorro Rivera: Can you play this song for us?

Miguel Rivera: Okay, just one thing, always remember that our love is remembered forever even if we are quarantined. (Yawn and sings Remember Me).

(All of the family members falls asleep even before and during the song).

Socorro Rivera: Buenas Noches, Miguel...

Miguel Rivera: Buenas Noches Socorro

(Miguel and Socorro fall asleep at 9:30 PM)
