It had been a year since the bear incident and the four clans were once again getting together for games and a feast. The three Lords sons will be spending a month with

princess Merida. Much to her annonce. Her mother insisted that she at least give them a chance and at the least be friends with the three boys.

"Merida are ye ready yet? They'll be arriving any moment and we should be at the great hall to greet our guest." Queen Elinor asked walking into her daughters room, Merida was sitting on her bed in her riding dress, and her wild red hair loose.

"I've been ready mum." She huffed.

"Now Merida why aren't you wearing the dress I picked out? And you hair is a mess young lady." Sighed the queen.

"I look fine mum, come now we don't want to keep out guest waiting." Merida said.

Merida and her mother get along a lot better now, they still didn't always see eye-to-eye but now they compromise. Merida and her mother had a good laugh together as they headed down to the great hall where the king was trying to control the three young princes, what wee devils.

As they took their seats at the throne the doors barged open just like the first time the three other clans came the last visit. Once to the front of the room they said there clans names one by one with their clan members cheering it behind them.

Merida saw the three young lords, young Macintosh was trying to show off his muscles arrogantly, young Dingwall looked like he was off in his own world, and young MacGuffin was blushing slightly shyly staying near his father.

'Well they don't seem like they changed at all.' Merida thought.

The three lords started to argue and were about to fight but then the queen intrupted them. "Merida why don't you take the boys on a tour maybe go for a ride while we talk."

"Aye mum, come on boys." Merida said leading the three lords out the door; her younger brothers had already sneaked off to get some treats. As the four reached the stables Merida asked what their names where.

"Ma name is Nandag Macintosh." Nandag said flexing his muscles.

Wee Dingwall bowed,"Ma name is Gregor Dingwall."

All three then turned and looked at their giant friend who was hard to understand. Young MacGuffin blushed slightly as he shyly said his name bowing to Merida slightly. "Ma name is Baist MacGuffin."

"Well now that ah know yer names, ye kin ca' me Merida nae princess." She said to them. "So ye all are here by your own accord then?" she asked grooming Angus her horse.

"No ma da made me come." Gregor said bluntly.

Merida giggled because she remembered he said last time he didn't choose her his dad did. "Then shall we just be friends Gregor?" she asked smiling at him, he nodded his head.

"I Merida am here to win ye heart." Grinned Nandag flipping his hair back.

Baist looked up at her shyly, "Ah dinnae wantae force ye Merida bit a'm 'ere o' mah ain free wull tae huv a go 'n' win yer hert if it's a'richt wi' ye? (I don't want to force you Merida but i am here of my own free will to try and win your heart if it is alright with you?)".

They looked at Baist with confusion written on their faces, not understanding because of his thick accent. Baist looked around a little uncomfortable.

"Can ye spaek slowly?" Merida asked him.

"He said I don't wantae force ye Merida but he is here of his free wull tae win yer hert if it's a'richt wi' ye." Said a girls voice from behind them, they watched as Baist eyes grew wide at the sound of the voice.

They all turned to see a girl around Merida's age only an inch or two shorter than her. She wore a light blue riding dress with silver; her long blonde hair was pulled up into two pony tails on her head, her bangs framing her face. She smiled at them her bright crystal blue eyes sparkling.

"Awright cousin." She said grinning at them.
