Mirabel: Oh No Our Candle It's Broken

Mirabel: oh no our candle it's broken

au where at some point before canon camilo notices abuela being mean to mirabel and is like oh you're mad mirabel didn't get a gift? *shape shifts* were both mirabel. im mirabel two now. good luck telling us apart.

the first week he adults are like haha very funny. the second week abuela is like stop this nonsense and use your gift properly to help people. camilo doubles down on his helping mirabel is helping people policy and mirabel starts answering to camilos name to help the subterfuge.

week three, camilo has explained to julietta, and operation "two giftless mirabels" has pepa start snapping back at alma because there's a fifty fifty chance that whichever kid her mom was just mean to was hers.

the other kids start noticing that camilo doesn't have to do chores with his powers because no one knows which one is camilo. this, they decide, isn't fair. camilo explains that he would be helping around town as mirabel, but no one is letting mirabel help because no powers. luisa and dolores think this is dumb, and isabela wants to see where this goes. they stage a mutiny. none of the madrigal younger generation will do magic chores now. they still help around town, but with things they are arguably not very good at.

”luisa can you pen the donkeys?"

"oh no, were on strike until mirabel has equal rights. I can send isabela to do it, though."

"dolores can you tell me how far out my husband is from town?"

dolores can both hear and guesstimate distance. she spends an hour and a half going to where said husband is and comes back to report how many steps that was/ how long it took her. "probably less now because I had to come back."

alma: julieta you cannot possibly approve.

julieta: they're broadening their horizons and standing up for their family

alma: ...who is cooking dinner, julieta.

*several loud crashes and the smell of smoke make it evident that agustine is currently running the kitchen*

julieta: my wonderful husband volunteered to give me a break for the evening

it doesn't take a full month for alma to throw up her hands and let the kids organize themselves if they're so determined to undermine her. it takes less than two weeks after that for camilo to start being camilo again
