Pov: Dante

Master was gone. He was a good master. Dante was too slow to stop master from moving on. Master's masters were sad. I was sad. I wanna see master again.

Wait!

I CAN!

I quickly got up and ran to the entrance to the land of the dead.

Pov: Miguel

I open my eyes, got dressed, grabbed my guitarra, and ran down the stairs to see Héctor.

"Hola Papa Héctor." I whispered, to not wake the others.

"Vamos!" Hector said.

We almost left when we heard the light come on.

"And just where do you two think you are off to?"

We turned around to see mama Imelda.

"H-Hola mama Imelda." Miguel said.

She walked down and continued to stare at us. She rolled her eyes and turned around.

"I didn't see anything." She said.

I smiled as we ran out.

"Gracias mama Imelda." I said, waving at her as we left.

Later

We were now in the plaza. Everyone was walking around, some mariachi members playing.

"Go on Chico. I'll be right here." Hector said.

I hesitated to walk up until Hector gave me a nudge forward.

I walked up to the plaza center with the other mariachi members.

"Oi manos, the little guy wants to play." The mariachi said.

They all stopped and stepped back a bit.

"G-Gracias." I said.

I cleared my throat before delivering a loud grito, gaining everyone's attention. I shut my eyes and reached down to begin to play the guitar. Slowly I started to get back into it and smiled.

"Say that I'm crazy to call me a fool, but last night it seemed I dreamed about you." I opened my eyes and saw the other mariachi joining. "When I opened my mouth, what came out was a song and you knew every word and we sang all along to a melody played on the strings of our souls and a rhythm that rattled us down to the bone," I shook my skeletal body, "our love for each other will live on forever in every beat of my proud corazón!"

I saw Héctor hop up with his guitarra and start playing.

"Our love for each other will live on forever in every beat of our proud corazón!" We sang.

"Ay mi familia! Diga mi gente! Canten a coro, let it be known our love for each will live on forever in every beat of our proud corazón!"

Pov change: Javi

I was watching as Miguel was singing. It was good to know he was getting better.

"Ay mi familia! Diga mi gente! Canten a coro, let it be known our love for each will live on forever in every beat of our proud corazón!" Miguel finished and everyone was cheering.

I looked to my right and saw someone. I proceeded across the crowd and my suspicion was right. Ernesto was watching from the crowd. I reached and yanked his head off and walked away with it.

"AY oh it's you." He said.

"Cállete." I said as we reached a safe distance from Miguel.

"Ooh is this a bad time?" He asked.

"I said Cállete!" I spun the head like a fútbol.

"Agh enough!." He said. "I think I am turning verde."

"Why were you at the plaza?" I asked.

"Am I not allowed to listen to music?"

"Not when that kid is up there."

"What kid?"

"I read your story. You and I both know your lleno de mierda." I said.

"So what if that kid destroyed my whole life. Wasn't like I was in a giant señorío, oh wait."

I grabbed his head and leaned in.

"You go near Miguel or he goes missing, and I will come straight to that alleyway you call a home and throw you off the edge into the void." I said as I opened up a trash lid and threw his head in.

Pov change: Ernesto

I waited for him to leave before my body found me and I attached myself.

"The void, what an interesting idea." I said.

Pov change: Miguel

I was so energetic. I always felt this way when I played.

"Ah I'm proud Miguel." Héctor said.

I smiled and hugged him.

"Ay you were mui bueno mano." One of the other mariachi said.

"Oh Gracias." I said.

"Where'd you learn to play?" They asked.

"Oh uh… I used to learn from watching movies with Ernesto de la Cruz."

"Ugh that degenerate. I heard some kid appeared from the living world and exposed him."

"Really?" I asked.

"Si Si, he is practically a leyenda."

I looked at Héctor with a smug smirk.

"Alright, alright, let's head home." Hector said.

We hopped down and I will admit, I was a little smug about it.

"A legend huh?" I asked.

"Cállete." Héctor chuckled.

"It is true." I heard.

We turned around and saw Javi lighting a cigarrillo.

"I have to talk to your old man here, can you give us a few Miguel?" Javi asked.

I looked at Héctor and he nodded. I walked back over to the plaza and went sightseeing. Instead, what I saw though, was the girl from the guitar store. She turned to see me and waved.

Pov change: Javi

"He What?!" Héctor yelled.

"He was in the crowd. I don't know what he's thinking but I suggest that you keep an eye out." I said.

"Without question." Hector said.

I began to walk away when Hector stopped me.

"Hey. I don't think I've ever asked. What is your story?" Hector asked.

I looked at him.

"I'm just an old washed up cop." I said as I kept walking.

Pov change: Héctor

I turned to see Miguel was having a nice conversation with the girl from the guitarra store. I smiled when I heard a familiar barking.

"Dante?" Miguel asked.

Dante ran up and leapt at Miguel, licking his face. Miguel was laughing as well as the girl. It put a smile on my face that Miguel was having fun.
