Princess Power!

Chapter 1: Princess Issues

So, this is my idea for a Tangled and Brave,2012 crossover. Hope you like it! Also, I do not own either of these movies, they both belong to Disney and Pixar.

It was just a regular day in Castle Dunbroch. Merida was riding her trusty steed, Angus, her triplet brothers were causing mischief, as usual, and the threat of Mordu no longer hung over the castle. Merida's mother, Elinor, in the form of a bear, caused a stone slab to crush the great Mordu, ending his reign of terror once and for all. When Merida's mother turned back into a human, everything went on splendidly from then on. Elinor no longer forced her daughter to marry at a young age, until she had fallen in love with one of the Lord's sons. It was either MacIntosh, MacGuffin, or Dingwal, no one else.

However, doubt began to plague Merida, as she wondered if she would ever fall in love with any of the suitors. First off, there was MacIntosh. He was handsome, she had to admit that, but he was such a baby. He'd throw a fit if he didn't do something right on the first try. Then there was MacGuffin. He was strong, but, when he talked, no one had any idea of what he was saying. Finally, there was Dingwal. First off, Merida didn't know how that name came around in the first place. Secondly, Dingwal was just a doofus, nothing more. Merida actually wondered if his brain had been shifted out of place when he was born. Over all, Merida didn't know who would become her husband.

Even though Elinor had let Merida off the hook with the marriage issue, she still had to learn a few things about being a princess. With this situation, Elinor and Merida had formed an agreement. Merida would have to do princess lessons, and in return, Merida would be able to do whatever she wanted for the rest of the day. Even though Merida didn't exactly love her lessons, whenever she grumbled in her mind, she would always think back on Mordu and the consequences of his revolt. So, in a way, it was actually a good thing that she had gone to the witch in the first place. If she hadn't, she would have never seen for herself what could happen if you tossed aside your royal responsibilities.

As for Elinor, she had learned that you didn't have to be so strict all the time. After all, because Merida was outside most of the time, she had told her mother about the Nightshade berries and had taught her how to fish when she was a bear. However, that didn't mean that Merida could be totally off of princess lessons. After all, she still had to rule the kingdom in the future, and Merida had to be prepared.

Either way, everything turned out just fine. Things started to go a little out of the usual when Merida was urging Angus to the ruins of Mordu's kingdom. She always went there to remind herself that, if she didn't want the Dunbroch clan to fall into ruin, she would have to prepare herself for being a princess one day. She was just looking in at the old throne room when she saw something on the horizon. Squinting into the distance, Merida saw a boat out on the ocean which was coming onto the shore. Figuring that it wouldn't hurt to investigate, Merida climbed up on Angus and urged him to the seaside.

Pulling to a stop in a secluded cove, Merida dismounted to investigate. It wasn't a war ship, that was for certain, it was too small. As it turns out, it was just a tiny boat for two people. Merida saw that it had been abandoned recently, by all the water that hadn't dried out on the bottom. Suddenly, voices began to echo off of the cove walls.

"Well, I've looked all over this cove and haven't found anything seaworthy enough to get our boat back into the water."

"We got to keep looking, Flynn. Who knows how long we might stay here if we don't get back to our country."

As far as Merida could figure, they had been stranded here by a storm or something while on their honeymoon cruise. She didn't want to leave them here without helping them. But, this country that they were from; what if it was a country that was an enemy to Scotland? Merida didn't think her father would be happy to know that his daughter helped out one of their enemies. However, she couldn't just leave them here without telling them where they were and how to get back home.

Taking a deep breath, Merida stepped out into the open. She was met with the faces of a very handsome man with dark hair, and a woman with short, brown hair, who were both staring at her curiously. Merida, thinking that it wouldn't hurt to introduce herself, announced,

"Greetings, travelers. My name is Merida, princess of the clan of Dunbroch in Scotland. Where are you from?"

The pair just stared at her, apparently puzzled by the country's name.

"Maybe they've never heard of Scotland."

"We're from Germany," the brown-haired woman replied.

Suddenly, something green climbed out from behind her neck and stared at her. Merida gasped in shock. It was a green lizard like creature. Slightly unnerved by the lizard's appearance, Merida then asked,

"What are your names?"

"My name is Princess Rapunzel, this is my husband, Prince Eugene, and my chameleon, Pascal."

At the mention of his name, Pascal rumbled a lizard purr and rubbed against Rapunzel's neck.

Merida was staring in shock at the mention that Rapunzel was a princess, just like her. What was a princess from Germany doing all the way out at Scotland? Merida was determined to find out. She figured that it wouldn't hurt to help these people find their way home. However, she would have to ask her mother and father for permission to house these guests.

"Alright, I might as well give you somewhere to live until you can go back to Germany. I'll ask my parents for permission to reside in the castle. For now, though, you should stay here until I receive the answer. Alright?"

After they had agreed, Merida also promised to bring them supplies from the village so they could live in the cove for now. Quickly mounting on Angus, Merida raced back to the castle, hoping that her parents would agree to house these mysterious guests.

OOXO

Well, did you all like it? It might be a little weird, but I thought that Merida should have someone to relate to in Rapunzel, since she's another princess. Anyway, hope you enjoyed and remember to review!
