Feeling the tremor, animals fly and run off scared.
"We might wanna hurry."
As Bruno prepares a sand circle for his vision...
"Ya can't hurry the future, uh..."
Bruno is making his circle of sand , and reaches the capybara sitting in his path. He awkwardly continued to make the circle by going around the animal

"And 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
ma' goldfish.""

"Bruno you don't make bad things
happen. People just don't understand the way your gift works. You can do this." You say as you took the bucket from bruno

Antonio hands Bruno a stuffed jaguar.
"For the nerves. "
Antonio smiles at Bruno and nods, like, I believe in you,
then heads off. Bruno looks at the stuffed jaguar, then up to
Mirabel, considering. Then, with a weighty exhale, Bruno
reaches into his ruana and takes out a handful of salt then
he throws it behind his back.

"I can do this. I can do this. I can
do this, I can do this." He Whispers to himself
Bruno lights a match, which he uses to ignite piles of wet
leaves. As the smoke begins to spiral around him and Mirabel,
Bruno closes his eyes... entering a trance-like state.
The magic fills the room and somewhere in the house Bruno's
door starts to glow

On the way to town, Abuela pauses at the strange occurrence, unsure of the cause.

The entire Antonio's room begins to glow in the light of his eyes, wind kicks up, blowing leaves and sand that begins to swirl around
Mirabel and Bruno, glowing brighter and brighter. Mirabel
looks to Bruno who... looks at her and his eyes twinkle
Green, like flecks of glitter.

"You might wanna hang on."
He squeezes her hands and energy surrounds them.

Out in the casita... Bruno's door begins to spark back to life. Back inside as Mirabel gasps with wonder
WHOOSH!
Mirabel is suddenly transported into chaos in the house. The family is running Then, a
Shale: MIRABEL... standing amidst the expanding cracks...
Bruno starts to falter.

"It's just- it's just the same
thing, I gotta stop-" you could see that Bruno was sceard
"No, I need to know which way it
goes -there's gotta be an answer,
something we're not seeing."

"You're looking at the same thing
that I am! If there was something
else --"
Mirabel, gets an idea... turns the opposite direction. Bruno
sees her, thinks it's pointless.
You saw a little gold butterfly on the different side from wich they looked at

"There- on your left!" You yelled
Confused, Bruno and Mirabel turn around, they saw the butterfly flitting through chaos. Bruno can't believe it
"Butterfly! Follow the butterfly!"

As they stand, the Butterfly lands on a reed in a river,
Which dissolves as something begins to glow behind it.
"Where is that...?"
The images flutter, Bruno struggles to see it...

"It's all outta order -"
The image starts to come into focus, it's... the candle burning brighter. Cracks disappearing
"It's, it's - it's the candle! The
candle's getting brighter!"

Nearby is a vision of Mirabel in motion, arms out
"I think you're gonna help the
candle!" Bruno yells

"How?!"
Bruno's vision moves...
showing Mirabel and a glowing figure.
Who is it?
As Mirabel wills herself to bring the figure into focus... we see the shape of a women.

"There's someone with you! And you-you fight her!"
"What?!"
Bruno squints trying to interpret what he's seeing.
"Wait no, no, no, no -is that a
hug?!"

"Am I fighting or hugging?!" Mirabel asks frustrating
"An embrace- AN EMBRACE!- to
make the candle bright, you have to embrace her!!" Bruni yells proudly
"Embrace who?!"
The images grow more and more volatile.
"Almost there..."

"Who is it?!"
"Almost there... I, I-I got it!"
As Mirabel steps forward... it's... it's... ISABELA?
This wind be good..
"Isabela?!" Mirabel yells

As the vision stopped leaving us with glittering
sand... which falls onto the chiguiro. Bruno looks at the new
emerald vision "plate" and smiles.
"Oh, your sister, that's great!"

Mirabel stares at it in disbelief. Bruno realizes she hates
his vision.
"That's not great.."You whisper coming closer to them
He trows his vision away it like it's garbage.
"Every time."



Bruno, Mirabel and you are right infront of Isabela's door
"Why would "embracing Isabela" do anything?" Mirabel asks

"Idaknow, our family got a miracle,how do you help a family miracle? You hug a sister."
Mirabel looks at Bruno like he's stupid. A noise below draws
them to Camilo, who walks across the courtyard. Mirabel and
Bruno hide as you just lean on the wall

"Mirabel?! Mirabel?!"
Camilo's powers fritz and he gets a baby head. "MiraeEeEEeel?!" He yells in a baby voice
Bruno looks from Camilo to the
candle, which flickers. Mirabel is too busy worrying.
"Oh, I think we're running outta
time here."

"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," Mirabel continues to bumble
" Mirabel-" Bruno calls
"it is just annoying -- of course
it's Isabela --" She continues
"Mirabel-" Bruno tries again. But no use

He turns to look at you and back to Mirabel, telling you to help him here. You kneel down next to Mirabel and took her hands in yours to stop her from talking
"Mirabel."
"Huh-"
"Listen to Bruno" You nod towards Bruno who smiled awkwardly

"Sorry, um..you see you're missing the point.
The fate of the family is not up to
her, it's up to you. You're exactly
what this family needs. You just
have to see it." Mirabel looks down and squeezes your hand for comfort, poor girl. The miracle really is up to her.

Bruno quickly runs behind a plant "By yourself, after I leave."
"What? You're not coming?" Mirabel asks looking confused between you and Bruno

Bruno moves a plant hiding him from view as he
waddles toward the portrait leading to his secret passageway.
"It was your vision, Mirabel... not
mine." He says
"He's afraid Abuela will see him." You say giving Bruno an, are you serious look
"Yep, I mean yes... that too."

Bruno was about to enter the hidden hall again but stopped
"Hey, after you save the miracle...
Come visit with ______.."
Mirabel smiles
"After I save the miracle, we're
bringing you home."
Bruno gives Mirabel a smile then knocks on wood, crosses his
fingers, holds his breath and tips backwards into the wall.

After he leaves, you noticed the candle and magic's glow
becoming more and more erratic.
Mirabel looks toward
Isabela's glowing door, psyching herself up. You turn towards Mirabel and hug her from the side
"You got this. Just gonna save the
miracle... with a hug." You giggled and pushed her forward.

"You're coming with me!" Mirabel wisper-yelled." You know Isabela better then me! And she's my sister..." Mirabel continues as she pushes you to the door with her
