8. Bruno's Vision

It cut to the three children from the beginning of the film, who stood outside in the town looking up at Casita. A few thunder strikes had them running back home to their parents. It quickly changed again to Abuela and Mirabel's parents all standing inside of the cracking Casita.

ABUELA- "You should have told me the second you saw the vision. Think of the family."

"Is Mirabel not part of the family?" Bruno questioned.

"Of course she is." Abuela answered. "My vision was clouded. And I am so sorry."

AGUSTÍN- "I was thinking of my daughter."

"Gracias, Papi." Mirabel smiled at her Dad.

He smiled in return, slightly nodding his head.

Then, snow began to fill the frame.

ABUELA- "Pepa, calm down."

"Ay…" Abuela said as she shook her head. "How many times have I hurt this family?" She asked to no one in particular.

PEPA- "I'm doing my best."

FÉLIX- "Yes."

PEPA- "You're lucky it's not a hurricane!"

JULIETA- "Mamá, you've always been too hard on Mirabel."

ABUELA- "Look around. We must protect our family, our encanto. We cannot lose our home."

A small knock on the door captured their attention.

TOWNSPERSON 7- "Señora, perdón. People in town are becoming anxious about the magic. They want to see you.

ABUELA- "Mirabel was in that vision for a reason. Find her."

oOoOoOoOo

Suddenly, it switched back to Mirabel and Bruno in Antonio's room. A loud bang shook the room startling all of the animals.

MIRABEL- "We might wanna hurry."

BRUNO- "You can't hurry the future. Um…"

A capybara sat in the way of where Bruno was supposed to pour the sand circle. He sat there emotionless.

"Sorry, Chispi is kinda lazy. But he likes you! He wouldn't stop talking about you after you left." Antonio mused.

BRUNO- "What if I show you something worse? If I see something that you don't like , you're gonna be all, 'Bruno makes bad things happen. Oh, he's creepy and his vision killed my goldfish'."

"What's it with you and goldfish Tío?" Isabela asked.

"I have nothing against goldfish. People just don't take care of them properly."

MIRABEL- "I don't think you make bad things happen. Sometimes family weirdos just get a bad rap. You can do this."

From off-screen Antonio's small hands could be seen passing his stuffed jaguar to Bruno who took it with a confused look on his face. It then cut to Antonio leaning against his real-life jaguar.

ANTONIO- "For the nerves."

"Does he have a name too?" Julieta asked.

"Yep! His name is Parce!" Antonio beamed.

"Parce?" Camilo cringed. "What kinda name is that?"

"Hey! I didn't name him. His parents did. And that's not very nice Camilo." Antonio informed his older brother.

BRUNO- "I can do this. I can do this, I can do this, I can do this. You might wanna hang on."

From there Bruno began performing the steps it took to complete a vision. The wind picked up and sand surrounded the pair as images began to appear. Mirabel looked half in shock and the other in awe.

BRUNO- "It's just the same thing. I gotta stop!"

MIRABEL- "No. I need to see which way it goes. There's gotta be an answer. Something we're not seeing!"

BRUNO- "You're looking at the same thing that I am. If there was something else…"

MIRABEL- "There! Over there!"

A bright yellow butterfly appeared and began flying towards Mirabel's side of the circle.

BRUNO- "Butterfly! Follow the butterfly!"

It showed the butterfly gently landing on a piece of grass.

MIRABEL- "Where is that?"

BRUNO- "It's all out of order."

The image in the sand changed again.

BRUNO- "It's the candle. The candle's getting brighter! I think you're gonna help the candle!"

MIRABEL- "How?"

BRUNO- "Uh, There's someone with you. And you… you fight her!"

MIRABEL- "What!"

"What!" The family mirrored Mirabel's words, her parents being the loudest in protest.

"Bruno Pedro Madrigal! Do not tell me that you sent my daughter off to fight someone!" Julieta scolded her younger brother.

"Spoilers?"

"Bruno Pedro Madrigal! You did not!" Abuela and Julieta both yelled.

BRUNO- "Wait, no, no, no, no. Is that a hug?"

MIRABEL- "Am I fighting or hugging?"

BRUNO- "An embrace. An embrace! To make the candle bright you have to embrace her!"

MIRABEL- "Embrace who?"

BRUNO- "Oh, almost there…"

The family all leaned in.

MIRABEL- "Who is it?"

BRUNO- "Almost there. Oh, oh. I got it!"

MIRABEL- "Isabela!"

"Me?" Isabela said with just as much surprise as her sister on screen. "Hugging me helped fix the magic?"

"Yep." Mirabel said, making sure that the 'p' really popped.

The sand around the duo fell as a vision plate landed in Bruno's hands.

BRUNO- "Oh, your sister. That's great!"

He showed Mirabel the image of the two hugging, only to find an angry Mirabel on the receiving end.

BRUNO- "Every time."

He threw his vision tablet over his shoulder. The sound of it shattering could be heard.

"Bruno… tell me you cleaned all the pieces up after." Pepa said slowly.

Bruno shifted uncomfortably.

"Bruno." Abuela started. "Please tell us that you did not leave shattered glass on the floor of a five-year-old's room." She shook her head.

"I cleaned it up before we left." Mirabel said. "Don't worry."

She watched as the adults all relaxed.

oOoOoOoOo

MIRABEL- "Why would embracing Isabela do anything?"

"You were really that unhappy to hug me? Wow. I feel so loved." Isabela said.

"Let's be honest with each other here for a second. If you were in my shoes would you have been happy to hug me at that moment?"

"Okay… maybe not."

"You two really disliked each other that much?" Their Mamá asked with a small frown on her face.

"Kinda…" They both answered.

BRUNO- "I don't know. Our family got a miracle. How do you help a family miracle? You hug a sister."

The shot then lowered to show Camilo on the story below.

CAMILO- "Mirabel? Mirabel? Mirabel?"

With the magic on the fritz, Camilo's powers were affected, causing his top half to turn into a baby.

BRUNO- "Well, I think we're running out of time here."

MIRABEL- "It's not gonna work. She won't hug me, ever, okay? She hates me! Also, I don't know if you heard, I ruined her proposal. Plus, P.S."

BRUNO- "Mirabel."

MIRABEL- "She is just annoying. Ugh. Of course, it's Isabela!"

BRUNO- "Mirabel."

MIRABEL- "What's her problem with me anyway? She's the one with roses coming out of her-"

BRUNO- "Mirabel!"

"Mirabel!" All the adults and her older sisters scolded her.

"What? It's not like I said it."

"Said what?" Antonio asked curiously.

"Oh, would you look at that the movie is playing again." Agustín said as he, not so subtly, pressed play.

BRUNO- "Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. You see, you're missing the point. The fate of the family, it's not up to her. It's up to you. You're exactly what this family needs. You just have to see it."

Clearly, the family was touched by Bruno's statement. Mirabel watched as certain members placed their hand on their hearts while others 'awwed' at Bruno's comment.

BRUNO- "By yourself, after I leave."

MIRABEL- "What? You're not coming?"

BRUNO- "It was your vision, Mirabel. Not mine."

MIRABEL- "You're afraid that Abuela will see you?"

"You were that scared of me?"

"Yep." Bruno said in a similar tone to that of Mirabel's earlier.

BRUNO- "Yep. I mean, yes, that too. Hey, after you save the miracle, come visit?

MIRABEL- "After I save the miracle, I'm bringing you home."

BRUNO- "Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock on wood."

"Look's like you did kid. Didn't need to knock on wood after all."

"Who knows, maybe that's what helped make it all happen." Mirabel said, gently nudging her Tío.

MIRABEL- "You got this. Just gonna save the miracle. With a hug."
