MAKE YOUR STORY COUN
He loves me
He loves me not
I love him a lot
With all I've got
In every petal
I see his face
Telling me he loves me
He loves me
He loves me
He loves me
He loves me not
The curse of Thistle fell upon you!
Delfina, don't scare me.
Why are you crying?
Give me instructions on how to proceed.
Put the cameras on,
I wanna see who made the cover.
The guys did the cover, Delfina.
No, it wasn't the guys
and don't try to tell me otherwise.
It was done by someone with creativity.
It was done with purpose.
It must have been Daisy.
-She explained well what it was about.
-No, she's not so creative.
That was Daisy, right?
Or Zeki?
Pause it!
Margarita?
What was that girl doing here?
Nobody ask anything and you're going
now to find out where that girl is.
Each plate has
a personalized sticker for each chair.
Got it?
Margarita,
but what is the meaning of all of this?
-It is the reward for triumph, Ada.
-Bravo.
Feels like those souls deserved
a personalized plate after all.
-Just to spoil them a little bit.
-That's such a sweet thing.
And you remember
each one's personal taste?
Shame on you, at this point in the game
you don't know me.
Zeki's a vegan,
so I made him some falafel.
Sasha is still growing,
so lots of protein for him.
And chicken curry for Única.
What?
You may wonder
why I made a favorite dish
for a person
who isn't exactly my favorite,
well, that's just me.
That's you, and you're too nice.
-What happened?
-Merlin didn't like it.
What? He posted that he loved
Arab empanadas.
This is for Romeo.
But Merlin was sitting
in the chair with the green sticker.
That seat was supposed to be Romeo's.
So where's Romeo?
No. I knew this was going to be bad.
Romeo is gone!
-Where'd he go, Ada?
-He gave up the scholarship!
He gave it all up.
Why do you keep looking at her?
It's so obvious that it's her.
She played the role of the good,
loving little girl, very well.
But everyone is realizing
that she's an evil girl
with a thirst for revenge.
She's the Countess of Monte Cristo.
You're out of control.
The Count had three enemies
to take revenge on,
I have the three earls of Krikoragán,
who came to destroy me.
And I can assure you that the triplets
are plotting now!
Stop yelling out tongue twisters.
Calm down.
How do you want me to calm down?
She broke into my house and touched
my things, with the security I have?
How do you want me to calm down
if we can go to prison?
And that's why we have to act cold.
First, we need to find her.
But how?
The city is riddled with cameras
that have facial recognition systems.
And I know many people
who owe me favors.
-Swear to me that you'll find her.
-I swear.
-Swear to me you're not gonna leave me.
-I'm not gonna leave you.
-What is it?
-We have a problem.
Dismantle all of that now, alright?
What's up?
Thank you, you're all geniuses,
you prepared our favorite dish.
How'd you know?
Yeah, I was finally able to eat
tasty vegan food.
They brought me something green.
All boiled.
Romeo doesn't like mixing food colors,
that's why everything was boiled.
I'm so glad you all enjoyed it.
Now I wanna ask you a question
because I don't think
Have you guys noticed
that there's an empty chair here?
Romeo gave up his scholarship
and he went back home.
And none of you guys noticed
anything, right?
What'd you do?
How could it be that just when you're
working on the bullying challenge
you make someone feel
so bad that they wanna go home?
What'd you do? What a let down.
I'm not gonna be the Patron
of a group of people
who segregate their own classmates,
this is not the mission of this place.
On the other hand,
I feel like you have
a very good opportunity in your hands.
So I'm gonna announce
the next challenge now.
The next challenge
Bring Romeo back.
But they're the ones that did this.
Have them go apologize to him.
No, Romeo was on your team and he felt
so bad that he left.
So you're also responsible.
Since all actions
have their consequences,
we're gonna do the following.
Either Romeo returns,
and he rejoins the program,
or one of you loses their scholarship.
Be careful.
See? Nothing happened to them.
They just had a little wave.
Besides, ever since they've been
under my care,
they got used to tsunamis.
Did you drop them? They're very fragile.
It was just a joke.
I took care
of them just like you asked me, okay?
Well, do you wanna
tell me what happened?
I'm just done with that place.
Why? I know
how much you wanted to go.
All those feelings are now gone.
Now I just wanna be here.
Did you see what they did?
Delfina's obviously gotta
be red with disappointment.
With how sweet Romeo was.
I'm gonna turn into sauerkraut
from how angry I feel.
I feel vinegary from just saying it.
That sucks.
How cold does your soul have to be
to give such a heartless reply?
It is what it is.
What we gotta do isn't complicated.
We just have to apologize.
-Yeah.
-He's not gonna listen to us.
-He barely even spoke to you.
-The person who hurt him has to do it.
And it has to be a real apology!
I have no problem apologizing.
I'm very sorry that he felt that bad.
You weren't that sorry,
you got your laughs.
-I didn't laugh.
-You didn't defend him either
when we all know who bullied him here!
The only one who has to say sorry is
the one who messes with others!
Did you say something?
Force me to apologize then.
If he doesn't come back, you leave.
We're gonna see who leaves.
Maybe you'll be following your Romeo
to protect him from evil people like me.
What's with your whole act?
Do you enjoy playing the villain
or acting like a bad guy?
I'm not doing anything, guys.
I'm actually helping him.
He's a soft person.
Life is a jungle,
if you don't toughen up,
they eat you up.
A little empathy, man!
He's weak.
I mean, I messed up pretty bad too.
How could I not realize he wasn't there?
How could I not have noticed
that he was gone?
Well
Enough, Pipe!
Why all these telegraph texts?
They don't charge per word.
I've been pouring my heart out
about what's happening to me
and you just, "Well, that sucks."
I am not asking
you just to listen to me, okay?
I'm asking you for compassion,
I'm asking you for some empathy,
some sort of advice, anything, Pipe.
Okay.
Stop, that's enough!
The moon in Aries
clearly fueled this tension.
It would be best for someone
with more Piscean energy
to go and apologize.
The king of the monkeys should do it!
-I'm out.
-Where are you going?
To handle this mess.
As always, Única is
the only one who solves stuff.
-Let's go.
-Bye.
Hi.
Is Romi here? My name's Única.
Her friend from the Hangar. And I came
to talk about what happened
Yeah, I know Delfina
sent you to convince him,
but he doesn't want to come back,
and when Romeo says no, it means no.
Yeah.
I can imagine how our buddy's feeling.
But believe me,
no one can ever resist me.
-Let me talk to
-No!
Impossible.
She slammed the door in my face.
Because you weren't natural.
You're basically plastic.
Yeah, you're right, you go then, idiot.
Hey, how are you?
My name's Zeki, I'm a friend of Romeo's.
-May I talk to
-No.
-For the tiniest minute, and
-No.
Hello, I'm Mei.
I wanted to say that I feel very sorry.
I'd like to talk to him
-and explain that I didn't make fun
-No.
We're great pals.
We share a room,
so tell him Otto's here
No.
Neither my aunt nor I are gonna allow
this to happen again.
No one will ever bother Romeo.
I'm Daisy.
No.
He loves me, everyone loves me,
I bet you already love me.
-May you tell him to come out?
-No.
Dear Lord.
No.
N-O.
Look at his best friend.
The savior. Look at his success.
You're the last one, Rey.
And who are you?
I've never seen you in my life.
The Duster's right.
Just go.
-Hi.
-Not you. Especially not you.
But I
All of you, go.
Whatever, one will have to go.
I guess that's life.
-It is what it is.
-I already know what to do.
I have an idea.
Romi, my darling.
All your friends are right here
and we made this just for you.
Hope you like it.
For that heart
That heart
Growing larger
With love's start
For that heart
Red heart
Walking towards
The sun's bright gold
Heart, my heart
Don't be caught in their fray
Heart, my heart
For love they cannot convey
Attention, SOS!
Margarita needs help
ASAP from Fiery Fairy.
We're listening.
Fiery Fairy,
what do you do when you feel powerless?
Because I'm an erupting volcano,
and I dunno how to deal with the anger
that I'm feeling.
It's not wrong to get upset
with injustice.
But the most important thing is
what we do with that anger.
I'd like you to ask me
before you do some things.
In what possible world,
do you think that an employee of mine
can tell me how to do things
in my company?
Hold on, I'm not your employee.
I am your advisor.
Maybe you might not be very used
to being told what you do wrong,
but this is my job, Delfina.
And what did I do wrong?
This challenge with Romeo.
Why? I thought we had agreed on it.
No, we never agreed on that.
We agreed on talking to everyone first,
so that they could take charge,
and assume the consequences.
-That's what I did.
-You didn't,
because if Romeo doesn't come back,
we'll kick someone else out.
You're turning this
into a cruel and pointless game.
But did you see the number
of views and interactions we had?
Yes, I saw them.
It's my job to.
-But at what cost?
-I have no idea.
We cannot turn this
into a savage competition.
Because it's patronage.
Okay, give me a second.
Severino, are you here yet? So come up.
-Could you tell me who that guy is?
-Who?
Severino.
I see him here,
and I don't know if he works here,
if he's a benefactor, or
if he's your boyfriend.
-This is ridiculous.
-What?
This just hasn't happened
to me in a very long time.
Do you wanna know?
-It's strange
-Yes, indeed.
-Absolute strange.
-Very strange.
-Strange.
-So strange.
You know what?
I think it's best if I go.
-I had to be very generous.
-How?
With a contact I have
at the monitoring center
-so he'd give me access to the system.
-Let's see.
We have to add an image of Margarita
in there and voilà.
The system will issue
an alarm when a camera recognizes her.
Good.
Is that her? Zoom into it.
-Okay, do it.
Yeah.
-Do something!
-Okay.
ORPHANAGE
Pipe.
Pips.
Pippon.
Well, since you keep ignoring me,
this mountain had no choice
but to come to Muhammad.
If you don't answer me, I'm going in.
I don't believe you.
What are you doing here?
You'll be spotted.
-And you're gonna let them catch me?
-What do you want?
-For you to escape.
-No, I can't.
You always can, Pipe.
Wait for me in the back.
Hey, why are you so angry?
You're gonna start looking old.
Don't be like this.
Fiery Fairy, could you tell me
why Pipe gets in these hurricane moods?
-I don't think this is funny.
-All because I said
you were my boyfriend.
They don't know you.
-Don't be so dramatic.
-It bothered me.
Understand me.
It was so that Merlin would forget
about me and focus on Daisy.
I don't care.
Now, tell me
what you needed me for, period!
-For this.
-What do I have to do?
Since they don't know you,
you're gonna deliver these little gifts
that I bought at the flea market.
While I go do some other things.
Go home, kids. I'm serious.
Come on, grab the bag.
That's exactly it.
Can you?
Rodriguez family, I have a delivery.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
The kids outside left you a letter.
You wanna read it?
-Did you order something?
-No.
Let's see. Let's see what it says.
Open it.
I'll leave you.
Call me if you need anything?
We did everything.
I even wrote a musical for him.
We went one by one to ask for him.
We even wrote him a super sweet letter,
but nothing.
As you didn't meet the challenge,
one of you is gonna leave the Hangar.
Thank goodness
this doesn't depend on me.
You'll decide who has to leave.
-What?
-Us?
Just call me if you're really curious.
You called me.
I knew you were all curious-ey.
The word is curious.
Well, I just get confused.
Do you know who this is?
Because of your particular way
of speaking, yes.
You're Margarita Martinez.
You remembered
my first and last name too.
Did you bring me all this stuff?
How did you know I'm into that?
Well, I just listened to you
and I paid attention to you.
And I think I kinda got to know you.
If there's anything you need,
I'm in front of your house.
If you wanna open up, I'll come.
Yes, come in.
These are beautiful.
What are they called?
-Axolotls.
-No, I mean their names.
Picasso and Frida.
Like Frida Kahlo? I love it!
I'm not going back, you know.
And I'll support you
in whatever you decide, you know.
But let's chat.
-Did the guys write to you?
-I'm not interested in reading it.
And me? Can I?
You know I'm more curious than you.
This was Merlin.
-He's such a sweetheart.
-Are you in love with Merlin?
No.
They aren't bad people.
They just drop the ball.
Where do they drop the ball?
No
I forget that metaphor stuff
is hard for you.
You take everything literally
and I can't stop using metaphors.
So
What I'm trying to say is that kids
today are not gonna change.
I'm not gonna lie.
Nobody changes from one day to the next.
But I do think you should go back.
And not just because it's something
you want and actually enjoy a lot.
But because it'll be good for you.
And you will be good for them.
You can teach them a lot.
And not just them,
those folks watching at home do too.
But I'm not a teacher.
I don't teach anything.
We're all teachers of something.
And we all learned from someone.
The truth is that we all have
difficulties relating to each other.
Sometimes you expect people
to put themselves in our shoes,
but it's better to throw the shoes
over their heads.
-You want me to throw shoes?
-I mean metaphorical shoes.
I don't get you.
Maybe you should tell them
what's going on.
What you're feeling,
the things that hurt you.
I already told you I wasn't going back.
And I said I'd support your decision.
Here, so you don't complain
about anything later.
What's the idea?
-Are we staying here as squatters?
-No.
When I get my first paycheck,
we're gonna rent something.
Well, now you stay here like a statue
And I'll be back.
Hey. Hello, stranger.
Hey, Merlin.
I can't chat,
I left the fire on the pot.
Stop, stop.
I wanted to ask you something.
You told me you had a boyfriend.
Pipe?
Then why do you call him your friend
in your social media posts?
Of course, that's just
a linguistic dyslexia that I have,
because I grew up with so many languages
that sometimes I get confused.
And how does that work?
It's easy.
In English boyfriend has two words,
the word "boy" and the word "friend".
Sometimes I call him "friend"
and I forget to add the "boy"
-or vice versa.
-Why do you lie?
-Who?
-You.
It's obvious that Pipe is
just your friend.
A friend in all the languages.
I'm too busy for all this language talk.
Excuse me, friend.
Friend? So if I'm your friend
I could be your boyfriend.
No.
Friend, amigo, amico.
Why, if we like each other, Margarita?
Because a friend of mine likes you,
and a friend is more important
than a boyfriend.
Like Romeo, we have a hard time
understanding that metaphor.
Being in someone else's shoes.
To understand profoundly
what someone else feels.
-Is this all of you?
-We're missing Merlin, Auntie.
I'm right here.
Very well.
Take out your cell phones and vote.
Today one of you guys is leaving.
This Merlin kid gives me
such a bad feeling.
If I could vote, I would vote for Rey.
He's so darn conceited.
No, Ada, no one has to leave.
Romeo just has to come back.
You're right, dear.
I almost fell
into this evil game of hers.
Alright, here are the results.
I got six votes for Rey.
And six votes for Merlin.
Can you get your cell phones again?
You need to change your votes.
Voting is once again open,
somebody has to leave today.
Auntie, we can't vote. It's unfair.
Ro, you came back.
I'm Romeo,
I'm a fine artist and I make sculptures.
He's on the autism spectrum.
I don't think
it's a good idea to choose him.
ON THE SPECTRUM
MY PERSONAL SPACE
Romeo, why don't you join us?
Move it. Talk to a wall
and you'll get a bigger reaction.
INVASION OF MY SPACE
I turned the volume up to an odd number.
Watch where you walk.
WHY?
I don't eat anything orange.
Eat this candy, come on.
Just try it, give it a try!
I don't wanna go to that place anymore.
I just wanna be here now.
Thank you for what you just did.
Today, thanks to you,
we were all able to see
the world through your eyes.
I'm very glad that they convinced
you to come back.
It wasn't them though.
So who was it?
Margarita.
She did the best audition
and you rejected her,
quite inexplicably.
Welcome back.
Sorry, the decibels.
Welcome back, Romeo.
And forgive us for not listening
to you sooner.
-Thank you.
-I'll see you tomorrow.
Merlin,
I'm really glad you're still here.
If you had to leave, I swear
I would've quit and given you my place.
Thank you.
-But I should give my place to you.
-Why do you say that?
Nothing, don't listen to me.
Come on, why did you say that?
What would be your place?
I meant to say
that I'd like you to come to my place
and that one day,
you get to see where I live.
I would love to, anytime.
Sounds good.
Let's set it up, then.
Okay.
That idiot will fall eventually.
Focus on yourself, will you?
-I don't know, he's up to something.
-What do you mean, Rey?
Look.
How many things have we done so far?
A ton. And he's not in any of them.
He hides himself.
He leaves, I don't know.
It's as if he didn't want to be
on camera.
He's either hiding
or hiding something.
And I'm gonna find out.
Hey, girlfriend, are you in the kitchen?
I have to tell you something.
It happened.
Merlin invited me to his house.
He told me I could go and see his place.
So, I'm gonna grab some clothes
from my aunt, who has awesome stuffs.
Do you see what she's doing?
She wants to drive me crazy,
she wants to mess with my mind.
She's slowly simmering me to death.
-You're too paranoid.
-Did you see what she did?
She went to Romeo's house
and convinced him to come back.
And what happened
with the cameras isn't normal.
She controls all the security cameras.
A girl her age couldn't do
something like that.
Well she could.
She had so much time to set all this up.
To think about every detail,
like Monte Cristo.
You really gotta drop the Monte Cristo.
I think that she knows we usurped
her place and came to get it back,
but I'm not gonna allow her
to destroy me.
I'm not gonna let all the work
we had to put in with Daisy
to be in vain.
No!
What are you talking about?
You really should've seen it, Pipe.
He came in so bravely, and I think
what he did was so beautiful.
So
So transparent.
And all thanks to you.
You're so amazing.
Only you can get to know someone
so well in such a short time.
It doesn't take much time.
You just have to watch and listen.
And you listen to everyone, except me.
Why do you say that, Pipe?
You're the one I look at the most,
the one I listen to the most,
the one I talk to the most.
Why do you think that?
Hey, answer me.
I heard your chat with Merlin.
And then what Daisy told you.
That's tough.
Yeah.
She's got her hopes up so high.
And there he is falling in love
with the wrong girl.
It's really hard for me
to keep sustaining this.
For her it is even harder.
I mean, I put myself in her place.
What do you mean, Pipe?
Well, that
Being in love with someone who's never
gonna give you a chance is complicated.
And I don't wanna be
in that position anymore.
Pipe, are you telling me
what I think you're telling me?
You're telling me that I never saw,
that I never figured out
something that was
right in front of my eyes?
Pipe,
are you in love with me?
Sometimes, even the most alert people
can miss things.
I was so worried because no one put
themselves in Romeo's place
and I couldn't see
that I had Pipe suffering over me.
My friend
So blue
The star has faded, sadly
Hopscotch game
No more
And we followed her
Through the night
I don't want to lose
My genuine smile
The dreams I hide
Or spring's gentle light
I don't want to grow up
Hurt and broken
With fears unspoken
Life's pace awoken
Mirror, mirror, please be true
Who am I?
Am I just one
Or are there two of us?
Are we many
All in one?
Who am I
When the day is done?
The invisible
The flawless
The one they desire
Or am I me?
The one who thinks
She doesn't exist
Or the one who shouts
"Here I am"?
No present
Nor past
Just a tale of princesses
With a charming prince
Mirror, mirror
Who am I?
Who they desire
Or am I me?
Who they desire
Or am I me?
I don't want to dream
Of a world in hiding
Awake to live
But today I'm asleep
If upon waking
My life has been stolen
I'll set out to find it
No more lies spoken
Mirror, mirror, please, be true
Who am I?
Am I just one
Or are there two of us?
Are we many
All in one?
Who am I
When the day is done?
The invisible
The flawless
The one they desire
Or am I me?
The one who thinks
She doesn't exist
Or the one who shouts
"Here I am"?
No present
Nor past
Just a tale of princesses
With a charming prince
Mirror, mirror
Who am I?
Who they desire
Or am I me?
Who they desire
Or am I me?
Who they desire
Or am I me?
