F I V E

   Though it's late, I quickly had a meal and went to get ready. I put in my designed dress I made and pack a few things. Like the shard, my phone, my make up and a few gadgets my brother gave me.

   A travel size portal cube that can transform into a bigger one once placed so, I can go home and back to Encanto whenever I need to go back for something. White noise sound chip to block Dolores's hearing, so she won't overhear my conversations with my brother. My brother invented a temporal watch where I can get signal back at base.

I head back to his lab where he waited by a covered item. He smiles softly as he looks at me.

   "You look beautiful."

   "Thanks Jimmy Neutron. So is that the machine?"

   "Ok Cindy. I was being nice to my sister for once, on how she looks," he rolls his eyes playfully. "But yes. It is," he pulls the sheet off and turned it on. He pulled out his tablet within his coat and started to type something.

   I felt my eyes glow of the reflection of the portal as I stared at it. A glass case lowers itself and it had Camilo's poncho inside. The portal turned into various warm colors. Red, yellow and orange. And then back in a never ending cycle.

"Heads up, since you picked before the fall of their home in 1952, and your goal is to find Camilo and the Madrigal's, your body will return to your 15 year old body. But your mind age won't change. Got it?"

"Ok. Got it."

"Ready?"

"Yep."

You started to walk towards the portal.

"Watch your-"

"Woah!!!"

   "-step."

   I were falling straight from the sky. I screamed at the top of my lungs. Falling at inhuman pace. I passed through clouds and clouds. I could almost see the trees and ground. My eyes widen.

  "No. No. No. NOO!! UGH!!" A large tree leaf saved your fall but you resumed falling as you see a boy with a yellow ruana. "WATCH OUT!!!"

   "Huh?" The boy looks up and catches me as I crashed landed on him. We both groan in pain. I opened my eyes as I feel a warm embrace around me. A calm steady heartbeat. I lift my head up and my eyes widen.

'I CRASH LANDED ON CAMILO MADRIGAL!!!'

   I panicked and grip my hair and poke his cheek. I gulped. "Excuse me... are you alive?" I felt guilty. He doesn't respond as he was knocked out cold for a while. "Oh no... what am going to do? I'm a murder!!" I whined as I paced back and forth. "I can't believe I killed Camilo. When I get home, I'm so killing him..." as time passed, my panic was over and tended to Camilo's aid. "I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry!! I didn't mean to kill you..."

   Camilo burst out laughing as he couldn't contain his fake unconscious state. "Tranquila princesa... I'm not dead. Not yet at least," he sat up and stretched.

   I screamed in panic and I backed away. He scared the life out of me. It's like time frozen, I stared at him giggling. He was soon standing in front of me with his hand out.

   "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?"

   "Ha. Ha. Ha. Very smooth," I grabbed his hand and he lifts me up. I dust off the dirt and look at him.

   "No literally. Did it hurt? Cause it hurts for me.. oww..." he stood up and groaned, rubbing his head from the impact.

   "Well... you did catch my fall," I smiled.

   "What were you doing up in the trees, mi angelita?" He asked.

   Right. I can't tell him. "I... I'm new. I was trying to figure out where I was, so I climbed up the tree and slipped after trying to get down," I rub my neck nervously.

   'I'm talking to THE Camilo Madrigal. Omg...'

   "Oh... ok, mi angelita. Does my angel have a name?" He got closer to me, leaning his head in a bit as he smiled mischievously.

   "Y/n. What about you, mi héroe?" I boop his nose. I know his name. But I don't want to sound stalker-ish.

   "I'm Camilo Madrigal. Su héroe.. at your service," he bows.

   "So what are you doing out here in the forest?" I asked.

   "I'm here with my annoying sassy cousin, Isabella. We gathering fire wood as my mother is sick and we're expecting a storm when she wakes up soon," Camilo explains as he smirk drops at the realization and worry was written on his expression immediately. "ISABELLA?!"

   We heard rustling and she soon appeared through the plants and held some wood. "Que?! Camilo.. where's your fire wood?" She snapped.

   "Oh... umm... about that," he smiled nervously and looked at me. Isabella turned her gaze and acknowledges my presence. Her eyes widen.

   "Who is she?" Isabella examined me up and down. I gulped as I feel I didn't pass her vibe check.

   "Her name is Y/n. She is new around here. She fell out of the trees and I caught her. Which knocked me out and-"

   "Well then... my cousin is a hero. Nice to meet you, Y/n," Isabella dropped her sass and smiled. "Come on, we should get going. The storm is coming. Would you like to join us, Y/n?"

   "If it's not a bother. I'm alone and have no where to stay at the moment," I sheepishly smiled.

   "Oh don't worry, you can have Camilo's bed while he sleeps out in the rain," Isabella says playfully.

   Camilo rolled his eyes and I followed the two Madrigal's into town. I looked around and see no one around.

   "Where's everyone?"

   "In their homes, Abuela announced about my mother's sick day and ordered everyone to stay indoors," Camilo explained.

   I flashed a fake confused look though I know about their powers and all. Isabella glared at Camilo and he cleared his throat.

   "Sorry. What I meant was that, our family is... magical... just wait and you'll see what I mean," he smiled excitedly and we made it to a color house up on a hill. The doors of the home opened and see every Madrigal I studied about in a circle, besides Pepa.

   "Here, mama. The fire wood you asked for," Isabella smiled.

   "Gracias hija. Camilo where's- oh... who's this?" Julieta smiled as curiosity shined in her eyes.

   "This is Y/n. I saved her from falling out of the trees," Camilo smiled proudly, flexing little muscle he has. I giggled. He looks at me and pouts. "What's so funny?"

"Oh nothing," I held my giggle.

"Oh come you can tell me~," he smirks as he leans in and pushed him back by push his nose with my finger.

"You're sure comfortable with me, after I almost killed you from my fall," I crossed my arms and smiled playfully.

"You got hurt Camilo?" Julieta's tone turned worried.

"Yeah. I'm a little sore, but I should be fine if I could have a stack of Arepas?" He smiles.

"You and you're love for food. Come by in 10 minutes," she walks away.

"So... mind explaining to me by your family is magi...cal...?" I slowly pause as I see Luisa come bring in barrels. I turn to face what supposed to be Camilo, but I'm staring at the exact reflection of myself. Isabella tapped my shoulder and magically made a bouquet of flowers for me.

I mean... I was always wanted to witness their powers. And I got to say...

It's amazing to witness it.
