They held each others hands as they were bombarded with rude comments and disgusted groans. " Merida, stop this!" her mom ordered.
"Stop, what? Making my own choices and following my own path?"
"I've had enough of you, young lady."
"What about uniting the clans, hm?" Lord Macintosh asked.
"Yeah, ya still need to decide," Lord Dingwall said.
"She already has!" Fiona protested.
"Merida, I don't know what you're trying to pull here, but end this now," said the Queen.
"I'm not pulling anything, you can't fake love."
"I don't know what that witch you were talking about earlier did to you, but we are going to fix it."
"Run," Fiona whispered, grabbing Merida's hand and running outside, past the walls, over the bridge, and into the woods. The kingdom followed behind with torches and swords, knowing the princess's wouldn't go down without a fight.
Again, they ended up in the circle of stone pillars, "Again!?" Fiona said, frustrated.
"Over there!" One of the members of the mob shouted. Fiona and Merida tried hiding behind one of the pillars, but were found. A guard grabbed both of them to keep them separate.
"Now, Merida, you must decide. Who. Will. You. Marry?"
"I choose…Fio-" ROAR! The sound cut her off as everyone turned to see a large, black bear charging at them, "Mor'du…" Fiona elbowed the guard that was holding her, and took his sword. Merida did the same, picking up her bow that she had dropped there earlier. Still, they were held back, for who had ever heard of girls fighting? Let alone fighting Mor'du?
But Mor'du broke through the crowd, going after the girl who denied him his lunch the day before, Fiona. She stepped back but tripped, now cornered by the demon bear. Merida drew back her bow and the arrow flew straight into Mor'du's eye. "Merida no!" Fiona cried, coming after the bear with her sword.
Before the bear could reach Merida, someone ran into the bear, smashing it into one of the stone columns. It was Fiona's brother, Young McGuffin! The pillar became loose upon impact. As Young McGuffin stepped back and Mor'du charged, it fell, crushing the bear that had terrorized the kingdom. The spirit of the ancient prince appeared and turned into a wisp.
"Now, back to your decision, Merida?" her mother insisted.
"Yes, well… I choose Fiona. What we have is love."
"From the moment we saw each other, we knew," Fiona added.
"If you're not happy with this then too bad. I love her and nothing is going to change my mind."
"Is this really how you feel?" Fiona's dad asked, she nodded.
"And you too, Merida," her mom asked, she nodded too. "Well, then, if this is love then you have my blessing."
"What about uniting the kingdoms?" someone in the crowd asked.
"Fiona is the real first born in our family," Lord McGuffin said. "If she married Merida, I don't see why that can't unite us."
"Then let's head back home to celebrate the engagement of the Princess's Merida and Fiona," the Queen exclaimed.
Merida ran up and hugged her mother, "Thank you Mom. I know we don't always see eye to eye, but I love you. Thank you."
Months Later
It was a joyous day for everyone. Merida and Fiona got married, the clans were united, and let's just say the prince's met a few ladies. And they all live happily ever after, the end…
Now unlike most couples, Fiona and Merida spent the rest of the day riding horses and firing arrows till the sun set.
