Summary
"Whenever someone creates something *with ALL OF THEIR HEART*, then that creation is given a SOUL, you see..." And so just that happens for good Geppetto and his still-there elder son Etienne one literally magical night thanks to both Chiara Belmagio the Blue Fairy and a certain tricky but ultimately deep down good-hearted Lord Xibalba, as well as young Pinocchio. -However, another faerie, one whom sweet sincere shy Geppetto used to love until he saw her *TRUE colors*, does not at all like being derailed from making a bet with her goody-two-shoes sister and WINNING (or her sister winning after *a LOT* of trial, tribulation, and [near]death on little Pinocchio's part), and so angrily interferes herself, dropping the Tommaso-Belmagio family plus their pets, Jiminy Cricket, and 'LeFou's' boyfriend'/practical-betrothed Stanley into *Santa Cececlia, Mexico* as well as the *RIVERA family's* lives- two or three, in particular...
What will happen from there??? Is 'happily ever after' still *NEVER* meant to be ...or is it not *TOO late* for a miracle to happen again??

Summary
It had become an urban legend throughout the years, one that many people swore up and down was real.
Those that had been near the mausoleum that housed Ernesto de la Cruz’s body and beloved guitar, after sundown had claimed to have heard crying, wailing even, of a woman coming from the grave. But when they would enter the mausoleum to check on the distraught woman, there would be no one there. Just a mangled skeleton within a casket and a guitar hanging over it.
It was said that if you peeked through the windows at exactly midnight, you could see the eyes carved into the head of the guitar glowing a bright orange and drip, drip, dripping red.
~
Or, the guitar is cursed, and Ernesto de la Cruz isn't the only one to feel the effects of said curse.
