A/N-Man I love this movie. I never thought something would amount even closly to Treasure Planet, but, finally, Disney and Pixar have produced a movie that goes into my hearitage that touches my heart and makes me want to dance a Scottish jig. I hope you enjoy this random one-shot, and I do not own anything reconized to belong to Disney or Pixar.


Elinor snoozed in her bed one lazy afternoon, guiltily greatful there was absolutly no duties of any kind she had to tend to at the moment. She could just sleep.

Or so she wished.

"MUM!" Merida yelled as she jumped and tackled her mother to the floor, pulling the blankets with them.

Elinor grunted and rose on one elbow, Minerva practically sitting in her lap. "Merida Maria DunBroch..." She growled.

"Mum! Mum! Mum, Mummy, Mama do you know what day it is?!" Merida squealed excidedly, clasping her hands on Elinor's shoulders and shaking her slightly.

"Umm...I guess it be Friday?" Elinor said, raising an eyebrow.

Merida shook her head rapidly, "Nooooo! Today is the day I take ye out ta shoot arrows!" Her voice reached a squeaking tone in her happiness, jumping to her feet and pulling Elinor up with her.

Elinor raised her one eyebrow higher, "Shootin arrows? Well I wish ye would have told me if I'd be doing anything like shootin' arrows today."

Elinor didn't even know how to hold a bow correctly; let alone shoot an arrow. She'd been curious, yes, but it was never a big persue in her life. Since the bear incident she'd been much more layed back, but she'd still never seen herself shooting an arrow. And the fact that Merida was saying she'd be teaching her to shoot an arrow today, she was full of hidden curiosity and excitment.

"Wait, Dad didn't tell you?" Merida said, looking confused. Elinor shook her head no, crossing her arms slightly under her chest.

Merida rolled her eyes and groaned loudly, "DAAAAD! YE DIDN'T TELL MUM?!"

King Fergus appeared inside the room a moment later, dressed for the day and wiping his hands on his kilt, probably just coming from breakfast. "Tell yer mum what, Merida? I thought we agreed to let 'er sleep in!" He looked at the now awake Elinor and, for some reason, smirked.

Merida looked at Elinor like he was, and chuckled slightly. She then turned around, walked over to her father and punched his arm, "Ye big oath! I told ye I'm takin' Mum out to teach her to shoot some arrows!" She sighed deeply and rolled her eyes again.

"Oh quit it Merida, I'll come meet you by the stables in a few minutes, alright?" Elinor told her, blowing air out of the corner of her mouth.

Merida nodded, "Yeah, alright Mum. I got Fruisa all hooked up for ye too." She started to the door, and then stopped, giving her mother a small, amused grin. "Oh and Mum?"

"Yes Merida?"

"Ye may want to get a different nightgown. That one you be wearin' is just a wee bit...low." Elinor looked down and quickly pulled up her, as Merida put it, wee bit low nightgown front. Merida started laughing soon as she left the room.

"Aw, it isn't that low Elena." Fergus said, winking at her.

Elinor snorted and stared up at the ceiling. Men. She thought, slapping his chest jokenly, "Oh shut up, ye big oath."
