"Can anyone please tell me who Enersto de la Cruz was?" The History teacher asked her students with a hint of boredom.

Before Miguel was able to call Ernesto a fraud, a girl who was the same age as Miguel, rushed into the classroom.

She told the teacher nervously,"Sorry, I'm late!"

Miguel turned his head only to stare at the beautiful girl. She had long, flowing black hair, green eyes that shined like emeralds, and a smile that made Miguel's sigh. He knew he was in love.

Usually, Miguel wasn't all that interested in girls but this girl was special. He could feel it.

Suddenly, something caught Miguel's left eye. He gasped softly at the sight of Oscar and Felipe. They were waving at their nephew from outside the window.

The teacher suddenly spoke up. "Children I would like you to meet our newest friend Isabella Rodriguez. She just moved here from Guatemala."

All the kids said politely,"Hola, Isabella."

Isabella waved with a small, nervous smile on her face.

The teacher then asked,"Who would like to show Isabella around the school?"

Immediately, without thinking, Miguel stood up and shouted,"I will!"

Miguel instantly felt regret in the pit of his stomach. He had no idea how to talk to a girl. Oscar and Felipe could see the worried expression on Miguel's face.

The twins nodded at each other. They were going to help Miguel talk to Isabella.


Isabella and Miguel were walking down a flight of stairs when Isabella asked,"So Miguel... what is there to do in Santa Cecilia?"

Miguel gulped. He was far too nervous to speak. He didn't want to say the wrong thing... He was about to cry when Oscar could be heard saying,"There's that vendor that sells the most delicious tamales!"

Felipe added,"And only for a quarter each!"

Miguel froze. Oscar and Felipe were braiding Isabelle's hair.

Miguel shouted,"Knock it off!"

Isabella swiftly turned around and asked rather angrily,"What are you talking about?"

Miguel froze again and blushed. He felt like punching himself in the face.

Miguel quickly said,"Nothing!"

Isabella only shrugged and continued walking ahead.

Miguel whispered to Oscar and Felipe in amazement,"How did you guys get here?"

Oscar replied with a chuckle,"Well, Imelda sensed that you would need our help. So we just had to come check up on you."

Miguel was touched by Oscar and Felipe's visit but did they really have to come when he fell in love for the first time? Miguel found it embarrassing.

Felipe noticed Miguel biting his bottom lip and said softly,"It's OK Miguel. We'll help you talk to Isabella. We're experts at this sort of thing. Right, Oscar?"

"We sure are!"

Miguel whispered,"OK. Alright. But no funny business."

Oscar and Felipe gave their nephew two thumbs up.

Isabella finally turned around to say,"You're awfully quiet..."

Miguel asked,"Huh? Oh..."

Miguel looked at Oscar in a desperate plea to tell him what to say.

Oscar quickly said,"Oh! Tell her that I've never shown a girl around my school before."

Miguel nodded at Oscar then told Isabella,"Sorry it's just that I've never shown a girl around my school before..."

Isabella giggled which was music to Miguel's ears.

Isabella said kindly,"Well, I'm grateful you're showing me around Miguel."

Miguel found himself saying,"It's the least I can do for a new student." Miguel took Isabella's hand. "Come on! I'll show you where the school makes its churros!"

That said, Miguel and Isabella laughed as they ran towards the cafeteria. Oscar and Felipe smiled.

Oscar said to his twin brother,"I knew he had what it takes."

Felipe nodded and said,"We'll have to congratulate him later."

Knowing their work was done, Oscar and Felipe headed back to the Land of the Dead.
