Episode 43: The Finale

"Mama! Papa! Wake up!" Emilio said.

"Wake up! Wake up!" Lorena said.

"It's our birthday!" Antonio said.

They were jumping on Manny and Frida's bed.

"Manny, your children are awake." Frida moaned.

"Before 9:00 they're your children." Manny groaned.

"Come on!" Emilio said.

"Alright, alright." Manny yawned. "I'm up."

"Happy eigth birthday." Frida said. "Now you three go to the kitchen and your father and I will be there in a minute to make you some horchata for breakfast."

"Yay!" They shouted.

Manny and Frida got out of bed and went to the bathroom to get ready.

"Sweet! I'm finally starting to grow a mustache." Manny said.

"That's great and the kids are eight years old today." Frida said.

"That's the age when they officially get their powers."

"Oh yeah, wonder what they'll be."

The party was wonderful. The Rivera and the Suarez family attended.

"This one is from your Aunt Anita." Frida said handing them a box.

"Awesome! A Taser." Antonio said.

"Wait! What?" Manny said.

"Hey give me that." Emiliano said.

But little Antonio just tasered him.

"Ow! Oh! Ah! Ow! Why?!"

He passed out on the ground.

"Emiliano! Are you alright?" Carmela asked.

"I smell babercue." He answered.

"Thank you for the gift Anita." Frida said taking the Taser from Antonio. "But I think they're just a little too young."

"This is from everyone in the Rivera family." Rodolfo said.

The triplets opened the present. Inside were three belts.

"Cool! Does this mean we're going to be heroes like Daddy?" Lorena said.

"Yes."

"Well you maybe a hero miss goody goody." Antonio said. "But I'm going to be a villian! Ah-ha-ha!"

"Your great grandfather would be proud." Manny said. "If he was still here."

"Well go on and try them out." Frida said.

Antonio spun his belt.

"Lighting Ocelot!" He shouted.

Lorena spun hers.

"White Wildcat!"

But when Emilio spun his nothing happened. He tried again, still nothing.

"Hmm...you think it's a dud?" Maria asked.

"That's impossible!" Rodolfo said. He inspected the belt. "It should work unless."

"Unless what?" Manny asked.

"Well, maybe it skipped on him."

"Skipped on me?!" Emilio said.

Emilio ran upstairs to his room and threw himself on his bed. Why did his brother and sister have powers and he didn't? It wasn't fair. He stayed in his room for hours, finally his parents decided to check on him.

"Honey?" Frida said.

She and Manny walked in.

"Go away!" Emilio said. "I don't have any powers! I'm an embarrassment to the family!"

"Hey! You are not an embarrassment." Manny said. "You don't know if you don't have any powers. You're probably just a late bloomer because you're the youngest."

"Really?"

"Sure, and weather you have powers or not we will still love you."

"You know your father and I haven't given you our gift yet." Frida said.

She and Manny placed a big box with a red ribbon tied on it on his bed.

"You mean this is just for me?" Emilio said.

He opened his gift excitedly. It was a Rottweiler puppy. It jumped out and started licking him.

"You like him?" Manny asked.

"I love him!" Emilio said.

"He was born to your grandfather's chief police dog Delgado. " Frida said. "He was one of the best."

"I'll say! He mauled me several times when I was a kid." Manny said.

"But poor Delgado is gone now and the mother died giving birth, so we thought he needed someone to take care of him and you needed a friend."

"Sweet! What's his name?" Emilio asked.

"Delgado the second."

He picked up the puppy and ran out of his room.

"Antonio! Lorena! Look what I got!"

...

The next day Emilio was playing in the park with Delgado when all of a sudden the town was attacked by a giant guacamole monster. It was led by Dr. Chipolte Jr. Manny turned into El tigre and fought him.

"What's the evil plan this time?" Manny asked.

"I plan on stealing chemicals from a genetic lab so I can create my own son! I will call him Dr. Chipolte Jr Jr."

"Really? That's the name your going with? "

"Okay I admit I need to work out a few kinks, but you get the idea."

"And do you get I'm not going to let that happen."

The two started to fight. Emilio watched in amazement as his father beat and silced the monster. But due to it being made of guacamole it was able to rebuild itself.

"Oh man! How do you fight dip?"

He blasted him with hotsauce and knocked him out cold.

"Finish him!"

The monster was just about to crush him when...

"Hey Dr. Chimpanzee!" Emilio shouted.

"Chipolte!" The villian said facing him.

"Leave my Papi alone!"

They looked down at him and laughed.

"Oh yeah and what are you going to do about it?"

Emilio felt a great anger, a mist of green surrounded him, he spun his belt buckle and let out a roar.

"Sonic tigre!"

He jumped up and began to rapidly punch Dr. Chipolte Jr. in the face.

"Ow! Why you little brat! Get off of me!"

Manny regained consciousness and watched in awe. Dr. Chipolte angrily threw Emilio against a wall.

"Ow my eye!" He said.

"Get your hands off my boy!" Manny said punching the mad scientist.

Then thinking fast he grabbed one of Dr. Chipolte Jr.'s explosive peppers and shoved it into the monster's stomach. He and Emilio jumped down and hid as the monster exploded into chunks.

"No! My monster!"

"Off to jail with you Dr. Chimichaga." Manny said.

"It's Chipolte! And I'll get you for this Manny and your little boy too!"

Manny looked at his son.

"Are you okay?" He said.

"Yeah but my eye hurts." Emilio said.

The boy had scar over his eye.

"Oh your mother is going to kill me."

"But I got my powers."

"See? I told you that you were just a little late."

"And I fought my first villian! Wait til Mom hears about this!"

...

"Mijo! I am so proud of you." Frida said. "And to celebrate we're having churros."

"Yay!" The children cried.

"So I guess you're a hero huh?" Lorena said.

"No I think he'll be a villian." Antonio said.

"Actually, I haven't decided." Emilio said.

"Oh boy!" Manny said.

That night Manny couldn't sleep. He just sat up and watched the night sky. He thought about his life and his childhood. He was born, he went to kindergarten, he met Frida, his parents divorced, he got his powers, he spent most of his childhood struggling weather to be good or evil, he grew up, chose to be good, married Frida, and had three wonderful children.

"Manny?" Frida said. "You okay?"

"Yeah, just thinking about my life."

"And what do you think of it?"

"I think it's absolutely perfect."

He dipped Frida and kissed her.

"Ewww!" The triplets said. "Parent love."

"You three should be in bed." Frida said.

They quickly ran back to their bedrooms.

"Remember when you thought your parents being in love was gross?" Frida asked.

"I still think it's gross! They actually got back togrether, Grandpapi owes me fifty bucks." Manny said. "Which he will give on Dia De los Muertros."

They laughed.

"Kiss me you fool!"

She pulled him into a kiss then he kissed back. After that they went to bed, he put his arm around his sleeping wife, and pulled her closer to him.

"Familia Forever." He whispered to himself.
