Mirabel watches the kiss between her cousin and her best friend with a smile. Then turns to Isabella's door.
"You got this. Just gonna save the miracle ... with a hug.", she encourages herself, lightly annoyed.
She knocks on the door and goes it.
"Isa? Hey! I know we've had our issues, but I'm ... ready to be a better sister ... to you ... So, we should just ... hug ... Let's hug it out, huh?", she hesitates.
Suddenly the bed where Isabella sits slowly comes down.
""Hug it out"? Luisa can't lift an empanada, Mariano's nose looks like a smashed papaya! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?"
"Isa, I feel like you're upset ... and you know what cures being upset? A warm embrace."
Mirabel walks up but her path is blocked by vines.
"Get out!", Isabella points at her door.
Mirabel hesitates as flower covers her mouth.
"Everything was perfect! Abuela was happy, the family was happy, you wanna be a better sister? Apologize for ruining my life!", Isabella scolds Mirabel, "Go on ... apologize."
"I ... am ... sorry ...", Mirabel hesitates.
Isabella smiles in delight.
"... that you life is so great!", Mirabel says without hesitation.
"Out."
The vines starts to pull Mirabel towards the door as she tries to take them off her.
"Wait, fine, "I apologize". I wasn't trying to ruin your life! Some of us have bigger probelms, you selfish, entitled princess!"
Those words made Isabella gasps.
"Selfish?! I've been stuck being perfect my whole entire life and literally the only thing you have ever done for me is mess things up!"
"Nothing is messed up! You can still marry that big dump hunk!"
"I never wanted to mary him! I was doing it for the family!", Isabella confesses.
Suddenly a cactus grows between the two girls which makes Isabella look at it in shock.
"Oh, my gosh. Isa ... that is very serious confession ...", Mirabel stands up then holds her arms out, "Okay, get over here. Bring it in."
She waits for the hug but Isabella still looks at the cactus.

I just made something unexpected
Something sharp, something new

"Isa? Uh, this is the part where we ..."

It's not symmetrical or perfect
But it's beautiful and it's mine
What else can I do?

Bring it in, bring it in
Good talk, bring it in, bring it in (what else can I do?)
Let's walk, bring it in, bring it in
Free hugs, bring it in, bring it in

I grow rows and rows of roses
Flor de mayo, by the mile
I make perfect, practiced poses
So much hides behind my smile

What could I do if I just grew what I was feelin' in the moment?
(Do you know where you're going? Whoa)
What could I do if I just knew it didn't need to be perfect?
It just needed to be? And they'd let me be?

A hurricane of jacarandas
Strangling figs (big), hanging vines (this is fine)
Palma de cera fills the air as I climb
And I push through
What else can I do?

Can I deliver us a river of sundew?
Careful, it's carnivorous, a little just won't do
I wanna feel the shiver of something new
I'm so sick of pretty, I want something true, don't you?

You just seem like your life's been a dream (whoa)
Since the moment you opened your eyes
(How far do these roots go down?)
All I know are the blossoms you grow (whoa)
But it's awesome to see how you rise
How far can I rise?
Through the roof, to the skies
Let's go

A hurricane of jacarandas (woo)
Strangling figs (go), hanging vines (grow)
Palma de cera fills the air as I climb
And I push through

What else, what else?
What can you do when you are deeply, madly, truly in the moment?
(Seize the moment, keep goin')
What can you do when you know who you wanna be is imperfect?
But I'll still be okay
Hey, everybody clear the way, woo

I'm comin' through with tabebuia (she's comin' through with that boo-yeah)
Making waves (making waves), changing minds (you've changed mine)
The way is clearer 'cause you're here, and well
I owe this all to you

Isabella pulls Mirabel into a hug. As they pull away, the candle glows brighter and the cracks next to the window disappear.

What else can I do?
(Show 'em what you can do)
What else can I do?
(There's nothing you can't do)
What else can I do?

The sisters fall down in a hill full of flower just infront of (Y/N) and Camilo. The two holds each other in there arms as they watch the sisters.
"You're bad influence.", Isabella says as she flicks a flower at Mirabel.
They both laugh.

"WHAT IS GOING ON?!"
