You didn't think I would leave them out right? 😏

As it is usual on valentines day, singels sometimes are overrun by people who aim to snatch a date. However, Ernesto isn't interested in a huge wave of crazy women and Ceci surely couldn't care less for men attempting to court her. So before she can say no, Ernesto finds a way for them both to sneak away. And this time, she doesn't protest. Well, hardly.

"Hey! I never allowed you to pick me up!"

"I'm aware!"

"Wonderful! Then put me down! I can walk on my own!"

"Sure you can! But not fast enough! Hear that crowd behind us? I'm a specialist in making us disappear without them or the paparazzi finding us!"

"Fine! But as soon as we're far enough, you put me down!"

"Oh, come on! You should be proud! You're the only woman I ever carry! ... Well execept in my movies ... movies don't count!"

"Is that supposed to be a compliment?" One of her brows lifts slightly higher.

"Sí! - I mean ... maybe?"

"Try better!"

"I could sing for you."

"Oh, dios mio! No thank you!"

"What? I'm a fantastic singer!"

"Uhm hm ... I get to listen almost everyday. Also, I assume that ferotious crowd of fans and suitors are eager to hear a little something!" She smirks. "Not that we aren't trying to sneak away!"

"Ok, ok! Do you always have to do that?"

"Do what?" Her amused expression still lingers on her face.

"Mess with me like that!"

"Aww, is my interlectual, inteligence to much to handle for you again?"

"Ceci!" He turns his head to face her. "Would you st-"

A clatter in front of them makes Ernesto tumble slightly and Ceci has to cover her mouth as not to burst out laughing.

"Sure thing! If you'd keep looking forward! Next time you might run into a wall if not a pile of wooden boxes!"

"Ha ha! Hilarious!"

"Watch out! Lantern post!"

Their chuckles are only heard by four little glowing Chihuahua's who are following them all the way through tight streets to one of the very few backdoors of Ernesto's huge mansion.

And so, Ceci saw the mansion for the first time.

A/N - Yes, before you point out that it's their "alive" vers. (In my book, I somewhere mentioned, that one of the alebrjies abilities is to see the dead as they were. Or better said, they see the spiritual body that is still there. (I didn't have enough time to finish this as a 3 part thing! I had a cold 🤧)

Not only Imelda and Héctor were taking a special photo that day 💙

Ceci - *sigh* "You know I don't like having pictures taken of me ..."

Imelda - "Estás bien, querida! Now smile!"

Ceci - *rolls eyes* "Fine!"

Another smoochy 💋

My favourite seamstress 💙

Since so many of you loved Ceci, I decided to post something about her 🤗

Since the only movie canon fact we have is that she is a seamstress and costume designer, I had to come up with everything else for my book. So here it goes ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Spoiler free facts (I keep some infos because obvious reasons)

- Cecilia or Ceci is three years older than Imelda, which makes her the same age as Ernesto

- Ceci has some scottish/european genetics. That is why she has light skin with freckles and reddish brown hair.

- Ceci and Imelda have known each other since early childhood/school days and are best friends, as close as sisters. In their teens they loved to wear their hair in braids too match each other.

- Héctor and Ernesto became very close friends to her

- Cecis parents owned a fabric store in which Ceci worked. Later she inherited it.

- She often babysitted Coco and because of her close bond with Imelda, Coco considered her as her Tía. Later on, as Héctor didn't return, Ceci helped Imelda as much as she could.

- Ceci died at the young age of 43 because of a really bad pneumonia.

- In the land of the dead, Ceci started working in the art district. Making costumes for all the actors, artists and musicians. Including Frida Kahlo. She soon meet Ernesto and started making costumes for him as well.

- She made Ernestos white charro suit which was inspired by the one Héctor used to wear in the family photo.

- She can dance way better than she can sing but often times is way too shy to show it off.

- Without her glasses, she is as blind as a mole.

- Ceci is very intelligent and uses that to hit with witty arguments. This is also the reason she is often seeked out for advice. In contrast to Imelda, she is more words than action but if teased over her very high tolerance zone, she will use her limbs to beat you up.

- Has a rather sarcastic humor and can be, just like Imelda, very straight forward. The only difference is, that, while Imelda is very open and blunt, Ceci uses clever words to come across diplomatic. For example. If you'd wear something that doesn't suit you at all, and you'd ask Imelda, she would straight up tell you, that it's ugly and doesn't fit at all. Ceci would tell you that something else would flatter you more or that it could be better.

- When it comes to her emotions and feelings, she tends to beat around the bush. Often times she will use sentences with a double or hidden meaning.

- Her favourite colors are blue, red and yellow. Those colors are also present in her skull markings.

- She loves classical/traditional music, jazz and blues.

- Ceci has been helping Héctor out in his attempts to cross the 🌼 bridge for about 57 years. And though she was more than often done with her nerves, she never stopped to help him. Even though she has often said she would.
