I haven’t posted on here in a while but I got inspired on my rewatch of Entrelazados. I’m a big Mallegra shipper so I had this idea for a missing scene in the timejump in the finale. Hope y’all like it!

“Whose idea was it to adapt my manuscript as a musical in 3 months?” Caterina exclaimed as she sifted through papers
Allegra laughed as she handed her mother sheet music. “It was ours, Mama. But you have nothing to worry about, we’ll do it in time,”
Ever since Allegra had proposed redoing the theater as “Sharp Stage”, Coco and Caterina had immediately been on board. Coco had actually proposed adapting “Anos Luz” since Caterina had never been able to publish it and all 3 immediately loved the idea. They only had a few months but with Allegra’s love of musical theatre and Caterina’s writing, the process was flying along.
“I’ve been meaning to ask you something, sweetheart.”
“Yes?” Allegra said as she stacked some of the script pages together.
“The song you used for the auditions, how did you get Marco’s song?”
“What?” Allegra turned around sharply, dropping all the papers in the process.
“Ay, Allegra!” her mother said, annoyed. She started restacking papers
“Sorry, sorry” Allegra said as she tried to help, caught completely off-guard by the question.
“So how did you get it? Marco…died in the fire many years ago. He never got to release that song,” Caterina said with a somber tone as she remembered Marco’s love for music
“Ah, yeah. So..so…” Allegra stuttered as she tried to come up with an explanation.
It wasn’t like she could just say “I found this magic bracelet in the walls that time-traveled me back to 1994 and I fell in love with Marco while being part of 11-O’Clock. Oh, and I saw him die in the fire and was distraught so Felix convinced me to audition with the song because I didn’t want to do it anymore”
“Oh, when Felix and I went to the theater ruins, Barbara had lots of old tapes and that was with the stuff she saved. It inspired me, or he did. Anyway, that’s where” she babbled
Caterina nodded, a bit skeptical as her daughter was acting very strange.
“Mama, Barbara told me about Marco and his girlfriend, Laura. Um..what were they like? What happened to them?” Allegra asked, curious to see what her mom would say about her and Marco’s relationship.
“Ah, Marco and Laura,” Caterina said, wistfully remembering the two lovebirds. “They both died in the fire. No one knows what they were doing there but,” she sighed
“I do miss them. They were so in love, Allegra. When one of them would see the other, their eyes lit up. Laura was so talented, and so was Marco. They both loved musical theatre, and just music in general. Marco and Greta used to be together, you know,”
“Really?” Allegra feigned ignorance even though she already knew.
“Yes. Surprising, I know. But I don’t know, when Laura came into our lives; he was the happiest I’d ever seen him. They loved each other so much and..” Caterina wiped a tear way as she remembered her friends.
“Are you alright, sweetheart? You look like you’ve just seen a ghost,” Caterina said concerned. This zapped Allegra out of her stupor. Hearing her mother’s recollection of what Allegra had lived with Marco broke her heart even more than it already had. She couldn’t escape the image of Marco falling into the fiery stage.
“Um..yeah. I’m fine. I think I’m just..moved by the story. I feel a little tired, can I go lie down?” she said, trying to escape.
“I suppose. You’ll have to help me after dinner, typing out the new outline with songs. But go ahead, I’ll finish organizing.”
Allegra bolted up the stairs as she felt tears filling her eyes. She went to her bedside table and lifted the lamp, uncovering what she’d hidden underneath.
It was Marco’s guitar pick bracelet. The one he’d given her before he..
The tears flowed harder. She held the bracelet close to her heart and lied back in her bed.
“If only I could see you again”
