Well it's time for Brave. I got a lot of attack ideas and I choose "Lightning Arrow Storm!" A fusion from fans: Menatron the Angel of Ideas and Puffgirl1952. Also someone named Girl-Time 2015 asked about the special chapters. Yes chapters. There's going to be 2 of them and it's mostly singing chapters aka concert chapters. One is going to be an ice-skating chapter in tribute to Disney on Ice and the FINAL chapter is going to be a rap-battle chapter plus singing based off of 3 YouTube users I found on the Internet. I'm not going to reveal their names yet but here are some clues, one for each. Clue number one: You've seen this lady in cheerios commercials. Clue number two: This man was once in American Idol, lost, and is now on Mtv. Clue number three: This lady made a tribute to Maleficent and though the costume was bad, her singing gives you the chills. Put you answers in the comments and just wait for the next post for the answers.

Well it's been a while since Rapunzel found her real parents, found out she was a scout and started to date Flynn, but the girls noticed that Rapunzel isn't used to be in the castle. Something was wrong and they were going to find out. They went to Rapunzel's room and they found her on her balcony looking at the village below. Somehow to Rapunzel, their was something missing and couldn't put her finger on it. She doesn't miss her tower, that's for sure, and thinking back, Gothel had the nasty habit of berating Rapunzel. But still there was something missing. Finally the girls had enough and Marie walked up to her. "Alright Rapunzel. Ever since after the party, you've been in a sour mood. What's wrong?"

Rapunzel said, "Well, I don't know. I mean this place is beautiful, but it doesn't feel like home somehow."

Ariel said, "Well maybe we should go out and see what makes the villagers' house their home."

Belle said, "Yea come on. You haven't left the palace in a while anyway."

Snow white said, "After this we'll find a way you make this castle your home."

The girls dragged her outside to the village and walked around to see what makes a house home. "Let's all work together to make this castle shine." singed Jasmine.

"Once we add some sparkle,"

"It'll feel,"

"It'll feel,"

"It'll feel,"

"It'll feel…"

"It'll feel divine!"

First stop was to a farmer's barn to hear how he makes his barn home. "Crates of apples an' bales o' hay. Just makes ya feel at home."

Then they went to a vet that takes care of the animals. "Furry friends and some popinjays. So I won't be alone."

"And we'll make,"

"And we'll make,"

"And we'll make"

"This castle a home"

Then they went to a party planner. "There's nothing like balloons and confetti. To greet you every time you walk through the door."

Then they went to a daredevil's house. "I need this and those posters of all my heroes. How could anyone awesome ever ask for more?"

"And we'll make,"

"And we'll make,"

"And we'll make"

"A home we adore"

Then they went to a housewife house. "Bright curtains of flowing silk and lace."

Then to a noble. "This picture of me winning a race,"

Then to another party planner. "Party cannons to give them a surprise."

Another farmer. "Hoes and rakes and some more garden supplies."

Another vet. "Getting hugs from this nice, big, friendly bear."

"Decorate with some gemstones bright and rare."

"More of this and that,"

"Don't forget the party hats,"

"How could anybody awesome ask for more than that?"

Then the girls got an idea. "Let's all work together. To show that we have shown Princess Rapunzel,"

"How we make,"

"How we make,"

"How we make,"

"This castle a home,"

"How we make,"

"How we make,"

"This castle a home,"

"How we make,"

"How we make,"

"This castle a home!"

While Flynn and Maximus were keeping Rapunzel occupied, the girls went to the old tower and looked around for something for Rapunzel. "It's not the things that ya gather 'round,"

"It's not how much you own,"

"The things that hold the meaning in your life,"

"Are the memories you've sown,"

"So we make,"

"So we make,"

"So we make this castle a home,"

"So we make,"

"So we make,"

"So we make this castle a home,"

"So we make, so we make, so we make. This castle a home!"

After a while, Rapunzel made it back to her room and noticed that there was another door next to her room with a bow on it. "What's this?" asked Rapunzel.

Flynn said, "Well the girls wanted to give you something and I think you're going to like it." Flynn opened the door and inside the room were Rapunzel's old paintings that survived, even her latest one that was over the fireplace. There was even a rope paths going everywhere in the room so she can paint on the walls without a headache from the hair pulling. And lastly, the whole area was nearly plank so Rapunzel can still paint to her heart's content. The girls just finished fixing the room and saw Rapunzel.

Rapunzel asked, "What's all this?"

Marie said, "Well After we went through the village and listened to what the villagers make their houses home, we thought we should do something in just the same."

Ariel said, "We went to your old tower and brought back the paintings that survived the destructions and brought them here."

Belle said, "We also got room for you so you can continue painting on the walls with help of these rope paths we made."

Snow White said, "We even went the extra mile and got the best paints you loved so much and got every color of the rainbow so you won't run out."

Jasmine said, "We're hoping that seeing some of your old beautiful happy memories can inspire you to make new ones and express them."

Aurora said, "And the best part is, if you want to sell some of your paintings, the king and queen would be lucky to help."

Cinderella said, "We even set up a painting program for kids that wish to learn how to paint, though they've been asking if you want to be their teacher."

Pocahontas said, "And the best part is, the construction of this room were the stones from the old tower."

Mulan asked, "So what do you think?"

Tiana asked, "Do you like it?"

Rapunzel turned to them with happy tear. "It's exactly what I needed." Then she hugged the girls tightly.

Flynn asked, "And all this took a couple of hours?"

Marie asked, "Are you forgetting we have magic? I mean Cinderella made a carriage out of a pumpkin with no problem."

Flynn waved them off. "You got permission for this right?"

Marie replied, "Who else helped us decorate this room? Her parents themselves."

And right on cue, Rapunzel's parents came in. The queen asked, "So what do you think of your painting room?"

Rapunzel let go of the girls and ran to them and hugged them. "It's perfect. So you don't mind if I paint on the walls?"

King said, "Well this is our surprise." He handed her some canvas. "If you ever wanted to give away your paintings, especially if they're big, you can hang these up and paint of them and use the walls as a hard surface. That way you won't run out of room when you do paint on the walls."

Rapunzel got the roll and smiled. "Thank you." She hugged her parents again.

Then a guard entered into the room. "Forgive me your majesty, but a skeleton man jut appeared in your garden."

The girls rolled their eyes and giggled. Rapunzel raised an eyebrow. "Who is that?"

Marie said, "Our chauffeur. He's Hatbox Ghost. He's our driver, and key keeper. And he is literally a skeleton." She looked at her parents and Flynn. "You're welcome to meet him."

The group went to the gardens, and there was Hatbox, with 6 buggies. Hatbox saw them. "Hello ladies. I hope your adventure here was enjoyable."

Ariel said, "At least you didn't fight against 3 Medusas. Do you need a meeting with the royals and Flynn?"

Hatbox said, "No, but I have a feeling they have questions. So hit me with them."

Flynn asked, "Well mine is, or in this case ours, how long is Rapunzel going to be gone?"

Hatbox said, "On average a few minutes to a few hours. All depends, but it never goes more then a week."

The queen asked, "What kind of world will she go to?"

He replied, "All depends on what key she'll pick. I always let the new girls pick for fairness."

The king asked, "Can we see the keys you have left?" The hatbox pulled them out. Then the king went to this daughter. "Go ahead and pick one." Rapunzel went up to the ring of keys and looked at them.

Then she spotted one with a sword in a Scottish like design. "This one please." She showed it to her parents.

Hatbox took the key. "Then we're going to Scotland. Now I'm telling you girls right now, don't help this princess out. She has to learn this on her own. Plus she's a rebel."

Rapunzel hugged her parents and Flynn. "I'll be back. Judging from those keys, only have 2 worlds to go."

The queen said, "Just be careful sweetie."

The king said, "Kick some bad guy butt."

Flynn said, "Though you don't have you long hair anymore, don't forget you're tougher then you think."

The girls got onto the buggies and Hatbox put in the key and started them up. It went up into the sky and soon it zoomed off and disappeared.

Intro:

After a crazy ride that involved screaming, yelling, cheering, and some nearly getting sick, they finally landed on Scotland. They saw the castle and there outside the gate was the royal family. The king, queen, the princess, and 3 little princes. Then the girls got off, their lockets glowed and they were in their normal clothes but for Marie, her clothes matched Merida's but in a different color. Mostly out of modesty since her peasant clothes had a low caller. The king was the first to great them. "Welcome ladies. I'm King Fergus. This is my Queen Elinor, and our children: Princess Merida, and our sons, Hamish, Hubert, and Harris. Welcome to our kingdom."

The girls bowed to them respectfully. Elinor said, "We have rooms ready for you for your stay. Mind telling me how long you'll be staying?"

Marie said, "All depends really."

The royals took them to their rooms where they will be staying. After they settle in, the girls went to Marie's room and just before they started to talk Merida came in. "Sorry for barging in, but I just had to check on you."

Ariel said, "It's alright. We actually wanted to talk to you."

Belle asked, "Do you know why we're here?"

Merida said, "To find the next scout yes?"

Snow White said, "That's right. You do know you're a candidate to be one right?"

Merida groans and sat on the bed. "To tell you the truth I don't want to be a princess."

Jasmine asked, "Why's that?"

"There's so many rules on what I should and shouldn't do. All I wanted is to have fun and shoot my bow and arrow. I mean haven't you girls ever never wanted to be a princess?" she lay on the bed.

Aurora said, "Well in some ways there would be times where we wish that."

Merida sat up. "Like what? Give me an example."

Marie said, "Well Jasmine didn't want to be a princess."

Merida asked, "What?"

Jasmine said, "That's right. I didn't want to be a princess cause I was being force to marry before my next birthday. Then one day I took a chance outside the walls and it blew up in my face. Turns out I just wanted to make my own choices while I am a princess."

Cinderella said, "For me I will admit it wasn't easy being a princess at first for me since I married my kingdom's prince. But then during a ball, I set it up my way and it all worked out."

Pocahontas said, "For me, I was confused on which path I should take. I didn't know which was perfect for me until a moment of chance pointed it out for me."

Mulan said, "Mine is the same as Pocahontas. But I actually had to earn the title princess. In my world, there was a war, and my father wasn't well enough to join, so I went in his place and took down an entire army."

Tiana said, "Though I'm the same as Cinderella, I had to learn that I can't just waste my life doing something I want. I had to focus on what I need to have. And in the end, I got that plus more."

Rapunzel said, "I didn't even know I was even a princess until I turned 18 years old. But I earned that title when I stood up against me kidnapper and defeated her."

Merida said, "Wow. Guess I shouldn't complain too much then. But still, I feel trap with all these rules."

Marie said, "Maybe you and you mom need to have a talk and maybe compromise one some things."

Merida said, "But she won't listen. She's making me into a mini-her and I just want to be myself. Haven't you guys ever felt like that before?" None raised their hands, but Marie did. "Guess you and I have a lot in common."

Marie said, "Not really. We're trying to understand each other and to be honest I had to make the first step. Maybe you should too."

Merida lay back on the bed. "I don't know if I can handle it."

Some days later, some say our destiny is tied to the land, as much a part of us as we are of it. Others say fate is woven together like a cloth, so that one's destiny intertwines with many others. It's the one thing we search for, or fight to change. Some never find it. But there are some who are led. The story of how Merida's father lost a leg to the demon bear Mor'du became a legend. She became a sister with 3 new brothers, the princes Hamish, Hubert, and Harris. Wee devils more like. They get away with murder. She can never get away from anything! She's the princess. She's the example. She's got duties, responsibilities, and expectations. Her whole life is planned out, for the day she become, well, her mother! She's in charge of every single day of Merida's life.

Merida was in the throne room saying some traditional English songs while her mother was walking around the room and the girls were watching her. "A Robyn, jolly Robyn, and thou shalt knowe of myn."

Her mothered yelled, "More change!"

Merida yelled, "And thou shalt knowe of myn…"

Her mother said, "Pronunciation must be understood from anywhere, Merida, or it's all for naught…"

Merida said, "This is all for naught."

The queen said, "I heard that! From the top…" Merida groans.

Ariel said, "This is going to be a long stay."

Belle said, "Longer then these 2 can finally get along."

Snow White said, "Remember she's more of a rebel then we are."

Later that day, the queen was teaching geography while Merida was drawing. "A princess must be knowledgeable about her kingdom." She snatches Merida's drawing of her holding the paper. "She doesn't make doodles."

Then the 2 were playing with instruments. Merida was playing with a lyre. "That's C, dear."

Then everyone was outside. Merida holds a bird on her arm. Her fathered showed her how to uncover the bird's eyes and when she did that, it attack the king. Merida started to laugh. The queen saw them in the tent. "Princesses don't chortle."

Then at dinner table, Merida tries to stuff the chicken into her mouth. "Doesn't stuff her gob."

Then in the bedroom, she opens the curtains waking all the girls who groaned as she covered their heads. "Rises early!"

Jasmine said, "Not this early."

"Is compassionate,"

"Patient,"

"Cautious!"

"Clean,"

"And above all, a princess strives for, well perfection."

But every once in a while, there's a day when Merida don't have to be a princess. No lessons, no expectations. A day when anything can happen. A day she can change her fate. Merida wakes up, takes her bow and quiver of arrows and runs downstairs to Angus, her horse and rides off. In the meantime, Merida shoots, carves on her bow, keeps company with Angus, climbs a rock, and dances and drinks of the waterfall nearby. After a while, the 2 finally arrived home. "I'm starving. You'd be too, Angus." Angus hits her with her tail. "Oats then." She then went to the kitchen, stole some treats and arrived in the dining hall where everyone was seated and eating.

The king was telling the story about Mor'du, but his sons weren't really interested and the girls kept quite. "From nowhere, the biggest bear you've ever seen! His hide littered with the weapons of fallen warriors — his face scarred with one dead eye! I drew my sword, and…"

Then Merida interrupts the king waking up her brothers. The girls smiled as she tells the story. "Whooosh! One swipe, his sword shattered, then, chomp! Dad's leg was clean off! Down the monster's throat it went."

The King groans. "Aww, that's my favorite part!" The girls giggled.

Merida continues. "Mor'du has never been seen since. And he's roaming the wild, awaiting his chance for revenge." Then she roars.

The king said, "Let him return. I'll finish what I gobbled in the first place."

Merida puts her bow on the table and her mother scolds her for it. "Merida, a princess does not place her weapons on the table."

Merida said, "Mum…it's just my bow."

The Queen said, "A princess should not have weaponry in my opinion."

Aurora said, "Begging your pardon Elinor, but if it wasn't for weapons, we would've lost our kingdoms during our fights."

Mulan said, "She's right. It was thanks to my father's sword that I took down an army."

Merida said, "Now that's my favorite story."

Her father defended her. "Let her be! Princess or not, learning to fight is essential."

She sat down. "Mom, you'll never guess what I did, today!"

The queen asked, "Hmm?"

Merida told her. "I climbed the Crone's Tooth and drank from the Fire Falls."

Her brothers were in awe as well as the princesses. Fergus asked, "Fire Falls? They say only the ancient kings were brave enough to drink the fire." Merida giggles as she wiggles her nose at her father.

Her mother though, wasn't paying attention as she got 3 letters by Maudie. "What did you do, dear?"

Merida was disappointed. "Nothing mom."

Then her mother saw Merida's pile of pies she got for her brothers and thought they were for her "Hungry aren't we?"

"Mom!"

"You'll get dreadful collywobbles. Oh, Fergus! Will you look at your daughter's plate?" Fergus looks as he's about to take a bite from his large pile of food on his plate. Then she turned her attention to her letters. "Fergus, they've all accepted."

Merida asked, "Who's accepted what mother?"

Then Maudie came in again but this time, having tongs in her hands and the tongs were holding a icy letter. "Forgive my your majesty, this one came in late."

The queen said, "Yes. Put it over the fire so the frost can disappear." Marie recognized that kind of ice anywhere. "Boys, princesses, you are excused."

The triplets left but the princesses stayed. "What did I do now?"

Elinor said, "Your father has something to discuss with you and Marie." Surprised by this, Fergus suddenly spits out what he was drinking. "Fergus?"

Fergus nervously clears his throat. "Merida…Marie." He hesitates not knowing what to say.

Elinor said, "The lords are presenting their sons as suitors for your betrothal and Marie, Adam, the Ice King, has asked your hand in marriage."

Merida and Marie were surprised by this. Merida furious, and Marie fainted. Luckily the girls caught her. Merida asked, "What?"

Elinor said, "The clans have accepted!"

The Marie woke up sat back up. "With all do respect Elinor, but why put me in the mix?"

Elinor said, "Well all your friends are married and you told me yourself that your cousins are having kids,"

"As young as 16! And in my world, that's NOT a good thing!"

Elinor continued. "I figured it was time for you to be married. Now the other clans said no to you but Adam wants to compete for your hand." Marie fainted again as the girls tried to wake her up.

Cinderella asked, "But have you asked her parent for permissions?"

Elinor said, "That's not the point. You all are married or seeing someone, it's Marie's turn."

Merida yelled, "Dad!"

Fergus didn't know what to do. "What? I…you…she…Elinor!"

Elinor said, "Honestly, Merida! I don't know why you're acting this way. This year each clan will present a suitor to compete in the games for your hand."

Merida yelled, "I'm the only princess that just does what she's told!"

Elinor frowned at her. "A princess does not raise her voice. Merida, this is what you've been preparing for your whole life."

That didn't help. "No! What you've been preparing me for my whole life!" She gets up in anger and starts to walk off. "I won't go through with it! You can't force me!"

Elinor called out for her. "Merida."

Merida angrily storms out of the Great Hall to her bedroom. Her father called out for her. "Merida!" He gets up to go after her but knocks down the entire dinner table instead making the dogs attack the food. Turns out the 3 played a prank on their father using his fake leg. "Boys!"

Pocahontas said sarcastically, "Well that went well."

Elinor face-palmed. "Can you please take Marie to her room until she wakes up?"

Tiana said, "Keep in mind, she won't be happy when she wakes up." The girls gently picked up Marie and went to her room and placed her on the bed.

Meanwhile, Merida was striking her bedpost wither her sword. As she does, her mother came in. "Mother! Suitors! Marriage!"

Elinor got out the chest board and started to set up the pieces to tell a story. "Once there was an ancient kingdom."

Merida got on her bed board. "Aah! Mom! Ancient kingdom."

Her mother continued. "It's name long forgotten, ruled by a wise and fair king who was much beloved. And when he grew old he divided the kingdom among his four sons. That they should be the pillars on which their piece of land rested. But the oldest prince wanted to rule the land for himself, he followed his own path and the kingdom fell, from war and chaos and ruin."

Merida said sarcastically, "That's a nice story."

Elenor said, "It's not just a story, Merida. Legends are lessons, and they ring with truths!"

Merida groaned. "Ach, mom!"

Elinor said, "I would advise you to make your peace with this. The clans are coming to present their suitors."

"It's not fair! For me and for Marie! Stuff like this is between her and her own parents!"

Elinor said, "Oh, Merida! It's marriage, it's not the end of the world." Elinor walks out of Merida's room and Merida slams the door shut in anger.

Meanwhile Marie woke up. Rapunzel asked, "How are you feeling?"

Marie said, "Like I'm going through puberty twice. How can Elinor do something like this? I want to fall in love and maybe get married in the future when I'm ready. Not like this."

Ariel said, "Well remember Adam is part of your test and so far, you blushed when he kissed your hand, blushed when you heard his voice, swoon when you 2 danced, and blushed when he flirted at you. Maybe some royals are tired of waiting."

Marie said, "But Elinor doesn't know me well enough."

Belle said, "You don't even know who you are. You're just as confused now."

Marie held her face in her hands. "What am I going to do?"

Snow White sat next to her. "This maybe a long shot, but we're going to have to play along."

Jasmine nudges her. "Snow White!"

Snow White said, "Let me explain. Hotbox told us to stay out of this one. That this is between Merida and her mother. If we alter the events too much, we may never get the next scout."

Aurora said, "I have to agree with Snow White." She turned to Marie and said, "And don't think of this as marriage. Maybe he's here to get to know you properly."

Cinderella said, "She has a point. After my husband and I were married, we FINALLY had a chance and talked about our likes and dislikes. We even had a fight or 2 but we always remain happy."

Pocahontas said, "Besides, if you know this story well, you know Merida is going to do something that will stop this."

Marie nodded. "Yeah you're right."

Tiana said, "And besides, he can't compete with you. You're just like us. Strong, somewhat independent, and not afraid to speak your mind…if that person isn't related to you."

Marie giggled. "You know, you had me at your corner until the very end."

Rapunzel laughed as well. "Well I think this will be fun: 3 or 4 men competing against each other to capture the princess' heart. Sorry but I think that's romantic."

Marie rolled her eyes. "Wait until you meet the 3 and I think you're mind will change."

Back with the queen, Elinor was muttering to herself as she works on embroidering a tapestry of their family when Fergus walks in. "You're muttering."

Elinor said, "I don't mutter."

Fergus sat next to her. "Aye, you do. You mutter, lass, when something's troubling you."

Elinor sighs. "I blame you. Stubbornness is entirely from your side of the family."

Fergus said, "I take it the talk didn't go too well."

Elinor said, "I don't know what to do."

Fergus tried to encourage his wife. "Speak to her, dear."

Elinor tried to explain herself. "I do speak to her, she just doesn't listen! And I can't wait to hear how Marie is going to react to this." She rolled her eyes on that comment.

Fergus had enough. "Come on, now. Pretend I'm Merida. Speak to me. What would you say?"

Elinor yelled, "I can't do this!"

Fergus said, "Sure you can." Elinor makes a dirty face at him. "There! There! That's my queen! Right, here we go." He starts talking in high pitch girlie voice, pretending to be Merida. "I don't want to get married! I want to stay single and let my hair flow in the wind as I ride through the glen, firing arrows into the sunset." Then he changed the pitch to make believe he was Marie. "Why are you doing this to me? You're not my mom. You didn't get permissions and I'm not ready for marriage!"

Elinor decides to explain to Fergus what she wishes she could explain to Merida. She'll figure out Marie later. "Merida, all this work, all the time spent preparing you, schooling you, giving you everything we never had, I ask you, what do you expect us to do?"

Merida was talking to her horse, telling him everything she wishes she could tell her mom. "Call off the gathering! Would that kill them? You're the queen, you can just tell the lords, the princess is not ready for this. In fact, she might not be ever ready for this! So that's that!"

Elinor continues. "I understand this must all seem unfair, even I have reservations when I faced betrothal."

Fergus yelled, "Hey!"

Elinor continued. "We can't just run away from who we are."

Merida replies, "I don't want my life to be over. I want my freedom!"

"But are you willing to pay the price your freedom will cost?"

"I'm not doing any of this to hurt you!"

"If you could just try to see what I do, I do out of love."

"But it's my life! I'm just not ready!"

"I think you'd see, if you could just…"

"I think I could make you understand, if you would just…"

"Listen!"

"Listen!"

Merida's horse neighs in response. "I swear, Angus, this isn't going to happen. Not if I can help it."

Days passed again and soon enough 3 ships were on their way to the royal docks. As the Lords saw each other already they started their rivalry on who will get there first. Then they noticed snow was falling and soon enough Adam was there and his solders were icemen. He turned to the 3 and waved at them like a shnook. Then his men went overtimes and row the fastest.

Back in the castle, Marie had on her ball-gown thanks to her locket, and Elinor dresses Merida in a horribly uncomfortable and tight formal dress. "You look absolutely beautiful."

Merida was gasping for air. "I…I can't breath!"

Elinor said, "Give us a twirl."

Merida stiffly twirls. "I can't move! It's too tight!"

Elinor ignores. "It's perfect." Elinor looks at Merida in compassion. "Merida."

Merida looks at her confused. "Mom?"

Elinor said, "Just…remember to smile." She turns and walks off. Merida sighs and went to her jewelry box. She picked up a necklace and puts it one. It rested right next to her family crest. The necklace had a Paraiba Tourmaline in a shape of a heart on it.

In the throne room, Marie was already seated as well as the princesses and the princes. When Merida tried to sit down, she had a hard time. When she did, she let out a piece of her hair out, but her mother put it back under her cover. When she walked off, Merida let it out again. Marie rolled her eyes. Then the 4 gathered inside. Fergus said, "So, here we are! The 4 clans and a king! Uh…gathering…uh…for…"

Elinor exasperated by Fergus' slowness gets up and finishes his sentence. "The presentation of the suitors!"

Fergus quickly follows on from his wife. "The presentation of the suitors!" The crowd cheers. "Clan Macintosh!"

The man went up and he looked like a Braveheart rip-off or a fan groupie. "Your majesty, I present my heir and sire, who defended our land from the northern invaders and, with his own sword, stabbed and vanquished thousands more!" T the clan cheers as young Macintosh steps forward to display his sword skills looking obviously vain and spoiled, Merida looks unimpressed.

Then the next clan. "Clan MacGuffin!"

The crowd cheered as the lord went up. "Your majesty, I present my eldest son, who scuttled the Viking war ships with his bare hands. Vanquished two thousand more." Lord MacGuffin's son breaks a thick plank of wood in half to show his strength and the crowd cheers.

Then Fergus yelled, "Clan Dingwall!"

Dingwall stood next to a very tall muscular looking young warrior. "I present my only son, who was besieged by ten thousand Romans and he took out their whole armor single handedly, with one arm. He was…" Suddenly Dingwall pulled his son, who is small and weedy looking from behind the tall young warrior. "With one arm, he was steering the ship, and with the other he held his mighty sword and struck down a whole attacking fleet."

Then suddenly someone yelled, "Lies!"

Lord Dingwall went to the defensive. "What? I heard that! Aye! Say it to my face! Or are you a scared sniffling jackanape? Afraid to muss your pretty hair?"

Lord Macintosh said, "At least we have hair!"

Then Lord MacGuffin said, "And all our teeth!" Then his son speaks but his accent is so thick that no one can understand him.

Then Lord Macintosh said, "And we don't hide under breeches, you grumpy old troll!"

Everyone laughs. "You wanna laugh, huh?" Then he yells. "Wee Dingwall!" Suddenly young Dingwall jumps onto Lord Macintosh and with his big teeth bites into his arm and with that a brawl breaks out, with everyone fighting each other except for the princesses and Adam.

Fergus was cheering but his wife reminded him to act civilized and stopped fighting. "Now before we rip each other's head's off, we have one more leader here. Ice King Adam!"

The Icemen cheered. Adam walked up. "I present myself for the hand in marriage of Ariel Marie Bandara."

He looked at her sexy and Marie looked away hiding a smile and her blushing. "I swear every time you do that I blush." she muttered.

Merida said, "You know you're not helping."

Marie whispered back. "Don't blame me. I never dated before and he's really cute."

Then Fargus said, "Now, that's all done! You've had your go at each other, show a little decorum. But no more fighting!"

Then the triplets sneak up and smash Lord Dingwall's toe, as he shouts in pain he gets hit in the face and the fighting starts all over again, with Fergus jumping in to join the fight, Elinor then gets up walks through the crowd and brings back Fergus and the clan leaders by their beards or ears. The only one what wasn't fighting was the Icemen. "Sorry, me queen. I feel terrible. My humblest apologies."

"Sorry. No disrespect."

"Sorry, love. I…I didn't…" She looks away from him in silence. "Yes, dear."

Marie said, "You know when you get married you can do that too. Show them whose boss."

Merida said, "Don't think I can since I can barely do that with my brothers."

Then Elinor said, "Now then, where were we? Ah, yes. In accordance with our laws, by the rights of our heritage, only the first born of each of the great leaders may be presented as champion."

Merida heard that. "First born?"

Elinor continued. "And thus, compete for the hand of the princess of DunBroch. To win the fair maiden, they must prove their worth by feets of strength or arms in the games. It is customary for the challenge be determined by the princesses herself."

Then Merida quickly shouts out, "Archery! Archery!"

Elinor looks at Merida and Marie stood up and Merida nodded. Then both said together gracefully, "We choose archery."

Elinor yelled, "Let the games begin!"

Outside, some of the games were being played. Spear throwing, weight tossing, and even some girls were dancing. But it was time for the real games to begin. The 4 archery targets were ready and the men stood at their spots. Fergus said, "It's time!"

Elinor said, "Archers, to your marks!"

Fergus yelled, "Aye! Archers, to…your marks!"

Elinor yelled, "And may the lucky arrow find it's target!"

The crowd cheers as the young clan's sons, and king, get ready to shoot their arrows. "Oi! Get on with it!"

Young MacGuffin shoots first but hits the edge of the target, Merida feeling pleased turns to her father. "I bet he wishes he was tossing cabers."

Fergus said, "Holding up bridges!" Fergus and Merida laughs and Elinor scoffs at them.

Young Macintaoh hits his bow and just missed the center of the target. Then he went on a temper tantrum. "Nooo! Aaahh!"

Merida said, "Oh, that's attractive."

Marie said, "Trust me I've seen worst after DNA test."

In anger, young Macintosh throws his bow, someone in the crowd catches it and shouts, "I got it!"

Merida turns to her father. "Good arm!"

Fergus joked, "And such lovely flowing locks."

Elinor scolded. "Fergus."

"What?"

Then it was Adam's turn. He was presented a bow and kindly denies it. He used his ice powers to make his own bow and arrow but before he did his deed, he walked up to Marie. He made an ice rose and handed it to her. "I hope my arrow flies to your liking."

Marie smiled and took the rose. It wasn't even cold to the touch. He walked back and Merida made a gagged noise. "Oh shut up." said Marie.

Then Adam went to his target and got his bow and arrow ready. He took a breath and let it go. It hits the target dead center. The crowd cheered including the princesses. Merida said, "Guess now you're Ice Queen Marie. It actually rhymes." Marie rolled her eyes. Then finally it was Dingwall's turn at the archery, he struggles to hold the bow. "Oh, wee lamb."

Frustrated as Dingwall can barely hold on to the bow, Fergus shouts, "Oh, come on! Shoot, boy!" This startles young Dingwall and he accidentally shoots the center of the target, everyone cheers.

Lord Dingwall yelled, "Well done! Well done!" He does a little victory dance and then bends and lifts his kilt up at Lord Macintosh and MacGuffin. "Feat your eyes!" Macintosh and MacGuffin look away in disgust and start making gagging noises.

Then Fergus started to chuckled. "Guess you'll be called Lady Dingwall now." He looked at his side and didn't find Merida but a dog. Marie looked and was surprised as well.

Then at the field, Merida raised her clan's flag and removed her hood. "I am Merida! First born of Dunbroch. And I'll be shooting to free our hands!"

Everyone gasped. Elinor stood up. "What are you going Merida!"

As Merida prepares to take aim she finds moving difficult as her dress is too tight. "Curse this dress!"

She bends and her dress rips at the back and arms allowing her to move freely, she aims and hits the first target dead on center. "Merida stop this!" Yelled the queen. Merida moves to the second target, aims and shoots center again. "Don't you dare release another arrow!" Merida takes another arrow and prepares to shoot the third target. "Merida that's enough!" Merida released another arrow and shattered the ice one and hits the center. "Merida, I forbid it!" At that moment, at the last target, Merida shoot the arrow and hits the center of the target, splitting young Dingwall's arrow in half. She mirrored the Chinese legend of young warrior Yue Fei, who split his archery master's arrow at the third shooting. A master after Mulan's time. Merida smiled but that disappeared quickly when she turned and glared at her glaring mother who was standing face to face at her.

After Merida's actions at the clan gathering, Elinor drags and throws Merida into the tapestry room. "I don't believe you! I've just about had enough of you, lass!"

Merida yelled, "You're the one that want me to…!"

Elinor wasn't listening. "You just embarrassed them! You embarrassed me!"

Merida said, "I followed the rules!"

Elinor said, "You don't know what you've done!"

Merida said, "I don't care how…"

Elinor started to pace back and forth. "They'll be fire and sword if it's not set right."

Merida yelled, "Just listen!"

Elinor yelled back. "I am the queen! You listen to me!"

Merida stood up. "Oh! This is so unfair!"

Elinor asked, "Huh! Unfair?"

Merida picked up a sword. "You were never there for me! This whole marriage is what you want! Do you ever bother to ask what I want? No! You walk around telling me what to do, what not to do! Trying to make me be like you! Well, I'm not going to be like you! Just like Marie is not like her mom!"

Elinor rolled her eyes. "Ach! You're acting like a child!"

Merida yelled, "And you're a beast! That's what you are!" Merida points her sword at the family tapestry that Elinor had been working on.

Elinor said, "Merida!"

Merida yelled, "I will never be like you!" Merida sticks the tip of her sword into the tapestry.

"No! Stop that!"

"I'd rather die then be like you!" Suddenly Merida slashes the tapestry, a line between her and the rest of the royal family.

Elinor is so upset that she takes Merida's bow. "You are a princess! I expect you to act line one!" Elinor throws Merida's bow the fire, shocked at her mother, Merida runs out of the room. "Merida! Merida!" Elinor immediately regrets her actions and pulls the bow out of the fire before it burns. "Oh no! What have I done?" She started to cry.

The girls watched the whole thing through a crack in the door. Marie said, "It starts." She turned to the girls. "Remember what we talked about." The girls nodded.

After that fight, Merida was on her horse and was crying as it ran. Soon they were deep in the woods and when he suddenly stopped, Merida fall off. "Angus!"

They arrived at the Ring of Stones and soon a trail of will o' the wisps leads them to a cottage where an old woman lives. Merida went inside and saw her making woodcarvings of bears. "Oh, look around. You holler if you see anything you like. Everything is half off."

Merida looks around. "Uh…who are you?"

She replied, "Just a humble woodcarver."

Merida said, "Um…I don't understand." As the old woman is showing her her bear woodcarvings, Merida notices the old woman's broom is sweeping the floor by itself. "Your broom." The old woman snaps her fingers and the brook falls to the ground. "It was sweeping by itself!"

The old lady tried to cover her tracks. "That's ridiculous! Wood cannot be imbued with magical property. I should know, I'm a wi…whistler…of wood!" Then Merida goes to touch the lady's crow. "That's stuffed."

But as Merida slowly extends her hand to touch the crow it suddenly snaps its beak and speaks. "Stay off the crow!"

"Aah! The crow's talking!"

"See what else I can do! La-la-la-la-la…"

Suddenly the old woman snaps her finger and the broom lifts by itself and knocks the crow out and sweeps it across the floor. "You're a witch!" Yelled Merida.

"Woodcarver!"

"That's why the wisp led me to you!"

"Woodcarver!"

"You'll change me fate!"

"Woodcarver!"

"You see, it's my mother."

"I'm not a witch! Too many unsatisfied customers! If you're not going to buy anything, get out!"

Merida said, "No, the wisp led me here!"

The witch yelled, "I don't care! Get out! Shoo! Get! Be gone with you!" The witch uses her powers to float knives towards Merida forcing her out of the cottage.

Then Merida yelled, "I'll buy it all!"

Suddenly the floating knives pointed away from Merida. "And how are you going to pay for that?"

Merida held out her 2 necklaces. "With either of these!"

The witch gasped as she saw the 2. "Oh my! Lovely that is!" She took the one with her family crest.

The crow flew to her. "That'll set us up for months."

Merida asked, "You don't want the locket with the heart?"

The witch said, "Not into jewels."

The Floating knives falls as Merida took the necklaces back. "Every carving and one spell."

"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" she asked.

Merida said, "I want a spell to change my mom. That will change me fate."

The witch said, "Done!" She grabbed the crest necklace as Merida put on the locket one on. After agreeing to give Merida a spell, the witch walks out of her cottage, grabbed Merida with her, snapped her singers and walks back inside.

Merida asked, "Where are you going? What are you doing?"

She replied, "Never conjure where you carve, very important." She opens the door and inside completely changed. "The last time I did this was for a prince."

The crow said, "Easy on the eye. Fantastic."

She continued. "He demanded I give him the strength of 10 men, and he gave me this." She shows Merida a coin bearing the symbol of 2 crossed axes. "For a spell. A spell that would change his fate."

Merida asked, "And did he get what he was after?"

She replied, "Oh! Yes! And made off with an especially attractive mahogany cheese board." The witches brew up a potion in her cauldron. Though it caused an explosion. "Now, let's see. What have we here?" She fishes out a tart from the potion.

Merida was confused. "Uh…a cake?"

The witch asked, "You don't want it?"

Merida shook her head. "Yes! I want it! You're sure if I give this to my mom, it will change my fate?"

The wich said, "Oh, trust me! It'll do the trick, dearie." Merida walks out of the cottage. "Expect delivery of your purchase within a fortnight." Then she tried to remember something. "Oh! Oh! What was that thing about the spell?"

Merida asked, "Did you say something…about…the spell?" As Merida turns to face the witch she sees the cottage and the witch have disappeared and she was at the rocks again.

That night, Merida arrived home and prepares a tea tray for her mother and places the tart on the tray. That's when Elinor came in. "Merida!"

Merida saw her. "Mom! Oh…uh…I…um…"

Elinor went to her. "Oh, I've been worried sick! The girls tried to calm me down but that wasn't working at all!"

Merida asked, "You…you were?"

Elinor hugged her. I didn't know where you'd gone or when you'd come back! I didn't know what to think! Oh, look at your dress!"

Merida said, "Oh, Angus threw me. But I'm not hurt."

Elinor said, "Oh well…like you said it was tight. Well, you're home now. So that's the end of it."

Merida asked, "Honestly?"

Elinor said, "I've pacified the lords for now. You're father's out there 'entertaining' them. Though not all?"

Merida asked, "Not all?"

Elinor said, "Marie and Adam are having a nice chat. BUT under the watchful eyes of the other princesses." In the hall, the 3 were attacking a stuff bear, and Adam and Marie were outside just talking but the other princesses were behind them making sure nothing funny happens. Then Elinor fixed the subject. "Of course, we both know a decision still has to be made." Merida turns and picks up the plate of tart. "What's this?"

Merida said, "It's a peace offering. I made it, for you."

Elinor takes the plate of tart. "You made this for me?" She takes a small slice of the tart and eats it. "Mm." Then her face is suddenly twisted.

Merida askd, "How do you feel?"

Elinor asked, "What…what is that?"

Merida said, "Different?"

Elinor said, "Tart, and um…gamy!" Elinor starts to feel sick and puts the plate of tart down.

Merida asked, "Have you changed your mind at all about the marriage and all that?"

Elinor takes a drink and gargles it in her mouth and get rid of the taste of tart. "Now, why don't we go upstairs to the lords and put this whole kerfuffle to rest?" She takes Merida out of the kitchen.

As they walked towards the hall Elinor suddenly starts to feel sick. "Oh!"

Merida asked, "Mother?"

Elinor said, "I'm woozy suddenly. Oh, my head's spinning like a drop!"

Merida catches Elinor as she's about to fall. "Mom!"

Elinor said, "Oh! Suddenly I'm not well."

Merida asked, "Uh…how do you feel about the marriage now?"

Elinor was getting sicker. "Merida! Ah! Will you take me to my room?"

Merida sighs and saw Marie and Adam. "Marie!" Marie saw Merida. "Help me get mom into her room." Marie went to her and helped.

As Elinor was feeling sick from eating that tart, Merida and Ariel helps her to her room. The 3 lords spots them as they pass. Lord MacGuffin said, "Queen! We've been waiting, patiently."

Elinor said, "My lords, I am out of sorts at the moment. But you shall have your answer…" Then she let out a massive burp. "…presently. Now, if you'll excuse us."

Fergus asked, "Are you sure you'll be alright?"

Elinor said, "I'll be fine…you just continue your bear hunting."

Soon enough the 3 were in the queen's room and the girls put Elinor to bed. Merida asked, "Just take all the time you need to get yourself right, mom. And maybe in a bit you might have something new to say on the marriage?" Marie slapped her shoulder.

Elinor asked, "What was in that cake?"

Merida brushed it off. "Cake." Suddenly Elinor rolls off the bed in pain. "Mom? So, I…I'll just tell them the wedding's off then?"

Marie yelled, "Merida!"

Then the 2 heard a growling noise from where Elinor rolled of down the bed. "Mom?" asked Merida. Merida walks round to see if Elinor is fine, she sees a giant shape rise from the floor and Elinor has transformed into a bear making Merida scream with terror. "Bear!" Elinor starts freaking out and tearing up the room. Marie remain calm. Mer said, "Mom, you're….you're a bear! You're a bear! Oh, that scaffie witch gave me a gammy spell!" Elinor, now unable to speak, gives Merida a shocked look at her revelation. "It's not my fault! I didn't ask her to change you into a bear. I just wanted her to change…you."

Marie said, "You know that's not helping right."

Merida looked at her. "You knew did you? Why did you tell me?"

Marie held up her jewel locket. "Why do you think we're here for this long? You're lucky we tolerated the bug bites."

In the hall, the girls and Adam were waiting. Adam turned to the girls. "So, what are you girls going to do?"

Ariel said, "We were told not to help Merida, so we're with 3 dozen 3 year olds in grown men bodies."

Adam nodded. "Going to be a while. Is Marie joining her?"

Belle shook her head. "Nope. All Merida."

Back in the room, Elinor paces around and growls in frustration as if telling Merida off in bear speech. Marie was just sitting down filing her nails on a chair near by. Merida said, "There's no point in having a go at me! The witch is to blame! Googly eye!"

Elinor finds her crown and puts it on her head. Marie said, "That's not going to fit you anymore."

Merida said, "I'll go over to her place. Unbelievable! I'll get her to fix this." Elinor wanted to leave her room. "Mom, you can't go out there! Mom! What are you doing!"

Marie said, "Remember the Bear King. If he so much as sees you, you're dead."

Merida asked, "Alright do you have any bright ideas?"

Marie asked, "How loyal are your brothers to stray away the dudes?"

Suddenly the 3 hears Fergus, who's heard the commotion and is heading towards them followed by the lords. Merida said, "Fine you win!" Once out side, at that moment they see the triplet's nanny standing in the hallway looking at them in shock, Elinor waves at her and she screams and runs off. "Now you've done it." After Elinor tries to get away from Fergus hunting her down and she stumbles into a room to hide but finds the triplets playing.

Marie said, "A witch turned your mom into a bear. It's Merida's fault."

"Hey!"

"We've got to get out of the castle. We need your help!"

The triplets cross their arms and stare at Merida. "Oh, alright! You can have my deserts for two…three weeks!" The triplet in the middle indicates with his hand that Merida needs to increase the offer. "Fine! A year!" The triplets nod their heads and agree to help Merida get Elinor out of the castle. She asked Marie, "Aren't you coming?"

Marie said, "Got to stay to calm the storm." She got up and left to join the girls.

After the triplets help Merida and Elinor sneak out of the castle, Elinor turns and gives a worrying look towards the triplets. "They'll be fine. Won't you, boys? Mom, we've got to hurry!" Merida pushes her mom out the door and turns to the triplets. "Now, I'll be back soon. Go on and help yourself to anything you want, as a reward." Merida closes door, the triplets turn and see the half eaten witch's tart and head towards it.

Turns out the princes lead the men to the roof in thinking they were chasing a bear. They tried to unlock the doors but it was stuck. So they did what they had to do. They took their kilts and tied them together and made a rope later out of it. As they walked Fergus asked, "Did you guys packed extra?" He got a yes in a response. "Good cause we still got girls in the dining hall. That and remember Adam is black."

After leaving the castle, Merida and her mother head out to the forest. "Where are these wisps? Come out wisps. Come on out! Lead me to the witch's cottage! I'm here. Fine, don't come out now that my mom's watching!" Elinor looks at Merida questioningly. "I was standing right here, and the wisp appeared right there! Then a whole trail of them led me off into the forest." Elinor starts walking off into the forest. "Does she think that I just happened upon a witch's cottage?" after walking a while in the forest Merida suddenly stops and looks around her. "Oh, mom! I know this place. The witch's cottage is this way! Come on! Hurry!" Merida starts running ahead and finds the witch's cottage. "I can't believe it! I found it!" Elinor frowns. She opens the cottage door but finds it completely empty. "No! She was here! No, really! She was just here! Oh, wait." She walked out, snaps her finger like the witch had done before and goes back to open the cottage door, but it's still empty. "No!" She keeps shutting and opening the cottage door. "No! No! No!"

In the witch's cottage, Merida accidently sets off a Rube Goldberg machine, which brings up the witch's cauldron with a ghostly image of the witch appearing above it. "Welcome to the Crafty Carver, home of bear carvings and novelties. I am completely out of stock at this time, but if you'd like to inquire about a portrait or wedding cake toppers, pour vial one into the cauldron. If you'd like a bedouin garlic, vial two. If you're that red-haired lass, vial three." Merida quickly pours the contents of vial three into the cauldron. "Princess, I'm off to the Wickerman's festival in Stoneleigh. I won't be back till spring. There's one bit I forgot to tell you about the spell. By the second sunrise, your spell will be permanent, unless you remember these words; 'Fate be changed, look inside. Mend the bond torn by pride'.

Merida was confused. "Fate be changed? Mend the bond? What does that mean?"

The witch said, "One more time. 'Fate be changed, look inside. Mend the bond torn by pride.' That's it! Ta-ta! Oh, and thank you for shopping at the Crafty Carver!" Then the image went away.

"No! No! Where did it go?!" Suddenly the witch's ghostly image appears again and starts giving the same message, Merida starts pouring in all the vials into the cauldron in panic and accidently blows the cauldron and the cottage disappears.

After the witch's cottage disappears, it starts to rain, Merida builds a shelter for Elinor and turns to her. "We'll sort it out tomorrow." Her mother turned from her. As they sleep, Merida has flashback to when she was little and was afraid of thunder her mother would hold and comfort her. "Brave little girl. Hey, wee lassy. I'm here. I'll always be right here."

The next morning, Merida wakes up to find Elinor had laid out a table for breakfast. "Uh…good morning. So, what's all this supposed to be?" Elinor growls trying to communicate. "Sorry, I don't speak bear." Elinor mimes that Merida should remove her bow from the table. "Oh!" Merida removes her bow and Elinor starts eating the berries she's gathered for breakfast. "Find those by the creek, did you? They're Nightshade berries. They're poisonous." Suddenly Elinor spits out the berries she'd just put in her mouth and in panic drinks some water. "Where did you get this water? It has worms!" Elinor quickly spits out the water she was drinking and sits in defeat. Merida smiles and gets up. "Come on."

Merida and Elinor head to a creek and Merida uses her bow to catch a fish. "Breakfast!" Merida holds the fish up and Elinor claps. "Oh, wait! A princess should not have weapons, in your opinion." Elinor nods in agreement but then frowned when she realized the trick. Merida holds the fish out for Elinor. "There you go. Go on." The fish flaps as it's still alive and Elinor turns away in disgust. "How do you know you don't like it if you won't try it?" Merida then cooks the fish over a fire and Elinor tries to eat with decorum but quickly chomps it down, as Elinor is still hungry Merida then teaches Elinor how to catch fish from the creek and they start bonding. They played around splashing each other and all. It made Merida and Elinor really happy.

After bonding over catching fish Elinor walks off into the forest. "Mom, come back!" Elinor turns and starts to act more like a bear. "Mom, is that you?" Elinor growls and goes to attack Merida but suddenly stops as she remembers who she was. "Mom? You changed! Like you were a…I mean, like you were a bear on the inside." Suddenly they notice a wisp and Elinor jumps to get hold of it.

After following the the trail of wisps which leads them to the ruins of a castle that bears the symbol of the crossed axes. "Mom, look! Why did the wisps bring us here?" They walked around the ruins. "Whoever they were, they've been gone for a long long tim—" Suddenly Merida falls through the floor and after landing she shouts to Elinor. "I'm fine, mom! Fine!" Merida looks around. "It's a…throne room. Do you suppose this could have been the kingdom in that story you were telling me? The one with the princes?" Merida sees a stone with three figures and a split stone with the fourth figure. "One, two, three, four. The oldest. Like…like the tapestry. The spell! It's happened before!" Merida sees bones all over the floor, and she remembers what the witch said about the prince. "The strength of ten men. Fate be changed. Changed with fate." She realizes that the one-eyed bear is actually the prince, transformed. "Oh, no! The prince became…" Suddenly she sees the bear coming up behind her. "Mor'du!" The bear goes to attack Merida but she starts shooting arrows at it and it starts chasing after her, Elinor then helps her to escape and they make a run for it.

Once they were safe enough, Merida said, "Mom, we need to get back to the castle. If we don't hurry, you'll become like Mor'du! A bear! A real bear! Forever! Mend the bond torn by pride. The witch gave us the answer. The tapestry! The girls new and are trying to help us all this time."

Hours later, they made it back to the castle and used an underground passageway to get inside. Once inside, they made it to the fight hall and saw the girls on the side watching and waiting for them. Merida saw the girls and Adam. Marie said, "It's about time. Ready to settle this?" Merida nodded.

The princesses then peaked through the crack between the doors to see what kind of madness was happening on the other side. It was practically a war in the throne room.

"No more talk! No more tradtions! We settle this now!" Lord MacGuffin yelled.

"Yer the king! Ye decide which one of our sons your daughter will marry!" Lord Macintosh exclaimed.

"None of yer sons are fit to marry my daughter! At last Adam has respect." Fergus thundered.

"Then our alliance is over! This means war!" Lord Dingwall claimed.

Pulling away from the doors, the princesses turned to Elinor. "They're gonna murder each other. Ye've gotta stop them before it's too late."

Elinor looked shocked at the suggestion before gesturing to herself. "She's right, Merida." Marie agreed. "Fergus...'The Bear King'. Not hard to figure out why he's called that."

"I know, I know! But how do we get up through there and up to the tapestry with the lot of them boiling over like that?" asked Mulan.

"What has the tapestry got to do with this?" Rapunzel asked.

"I'll explain later. But right now, we need to figure out how to get Mum through there without any of them noticin'." The older princess explained. Elinor thought for a moment before pointing at both of the princess. They both seemed to reluctantly understand what she was saying.

The clans were about to clash before the princesses walked in. Their presence seemed to freeze everyone. It was both a gift and a curse that they could do that. A gift that they could gin such control. A curse that they couldn't go anywhere without being unseen.

"What are ye doin', me lasses?" Fergus asked.

"It's alrigh', Dad." Merida said. Both girls turned to face the clans. Because they were together, everyone looked more so to Merida since she was the oldest. "I...um...I have..." She had the same problem with public speeking as her father. "Well, ye see, I...I have been in conference with the queen."

"Is that so?" Lord Dingwall questioned rather rude;y as he walked toward the princesses.

"Aye, it is." Merida replied with the same tone.

"Well, where is she, then?" Lord MacGuffin asked as he moved closer.

"She..." started Marie

"How do we know that this isn't some trick?" Lord Macintosh asked as he did the same as the other Lords.

They stated yelling again and this time the girls had enough. Both yelled, "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

There was silence. Just what the 2 wanted. Fergus chuckled a bit. He definitely knew where they learned that from. "Well, I...uh..." Both girls noticed Elinow sneaking by, gesturing for them to continue. Lord Macintosh noticed the princesses stairing at something. He turned but only saw one of Fergus' stuffed bears.

"Once," Marie started, gaining the attention of everyone, including her sister. "There was an ancient kingdom."

"What is this?" Lord MacGuffin asked."

"That kingdom fell into war." Merida continued. "...and chaos and ruin..."

"We've all heard that tale." Lord Macintosh stated. "Lost kingdom."

"Aye, but it's true." Marie stated. "I know how one selfish act can turn the fate of a kingdom."

"We both do." Merida added.

"It's just a legend." Lord Dingwall commented.

"Legends are lessons." The princesses said at the same time.

"They ring with truths." Merida stated. "Our kingdom is young. Our stories are not yet legend."

"But in them," Marie picked up. "Our bond was struck. Our clans were once enemies."

Merida started. "But whe invaders threatened us from the sea, you joined together to defend our lands. You fought fer each other. Ye risked everythin' fer each other." Both Elinor and Marie were smiling at Merida. She was proving that she paid attention to some of their mother's lessons. "Lord MacGuffin, my Dad saved yer life stopping an arrow as ye ran to Dingwall's aid."

"Aye, and I'll never forget it." Lord MacGuffin said as he turned to face Fergus.

"And Lord Macintosh," Marie said. " Ye saved Fergus when ye charged in on heavy horse and held off the advances."

Lord Macitosh looked as though he was going to deny her claims, but gave a content shrug with a small grin in agreement.

Merida then said, "And we all know how Lord Dingwall broke the enemy line."

"With a mighty throw of his spear." Lord Macintosh said with a smile.

"I was aiming at you, ye big tumshie." Lord Dingwall joked. Everyone laughed a little.

"The story of this kingdom is a powerful one." Merida stated. "My dad rallied yer forces and you made him yer king."

"It was an alliance forged in bravery and friendship." Marie added. "And it lives on to this day." Everyone cheered at this. Merida gave a quick glance to her mother and saw that she was smiling. It warmed her heart to see her so happy. The warm feeling went away at the sound of Merida's serious voice. "But I've been selfish." The younger princess turned back to face her sister. "I tore a great rift in our kingdom. There's no one to blame but me."

"Fer once, Merida, I'm telling ye yer wrong." Everyone's gaze shifted to Marie as she spoke. "I've done things as well. I broke tradition just like you. I'm at fault just as much as you are. If anyone blames, they'll have ta blame me, too." She looked at Adam and her friends. "Though my traditions are different, it's time I no longer be afraid."

"But, Marie, I must amend fer my mistake, because the fate of our kingdom lies on my shoulders, noy yers." Merida said sadly. She didn't want this kind of pressure on her friends. She turned back to their mother. "I need to mend our bond." After a few moments of silence, Merida conitnued. "And so, there is the of my betrothel. Ive decided to do what's right," Marie caught sight of her mother's movements to get her sister's attention. "And..." Before could continue, she finally saw her mother. Miracle didn't know what her mother was doing, so she decided to remain quiet. "...and...and...break tradition." Everyone gasped. "My mother, the queen, feels...in her heart that I...that we be free to...write our own story...follow our hearts...and find love in our time,"

Marie ended, "And our own way."

"That's beautiful." Lord Dingwall sniffed. The other Lords nearly broke down, but were able to build back up their machoism.

"The Queen and I put the decision to you, my lords. Might our young people decide fer themselves who they will love?" said Merida.

"Well, since you've obviously made up yer minds about this, I hae one thing to say..." Lord Macintosh said. "This is-"

"A grand idea! Give us our own say in choosin' our fate." He did it! He spoke for himself and even for the other lordsons.

"What?!" Lord Macintosh couldn't believe what he just heard.

"Aye." Cailean agreed. "Why shouldn't we choose?"

"But she's the princess." Lord Dingwall argued.

"I did no' pick her out. It was yer idea." Cailean countered.

"And you? Ye feel the same way?" Lord MacGuffin asked Grant.

"It's just not fair, and the lack of respect is makin us nothing but idiots. Good?" Merida giggled a little at this. She really did like him.

"Well, that settles it." Lord MacGuffin stated. "Let these lads try and win her heart before they win her hand...if they can."

"I say, the Wee Dingwall's gotta fighting chance." Lord Dingwall stated.

"Fine, then. Seems fer once we agree. It was my idea in the first place." Lord Macintosh joked. Lord Dingwall jokingly hit him on the back, causing everyone to laugh.

Adam stood up. "I also agree. Though I love trying to win Marie's heart, sometimes it's best to take steps and let out heart tells us what we should do as well as our knowledge." The Lords bowed to the princesses, who in turn curtsied.

"Just like yer mum. Ye devil." Fergus then pulled Merida into a gentle hug. Then he turned to Marie. "Your parents would be proud of you."

He turned to the clans and cleared his throat getting everyones attention. "I made my say by telling ye all I wanted to choose my fate. Well, I'm choosin' right now. One princess has won my heart. And I plan ta make her my Queen."

But before they left Merida stopped him. "Everyone to the cellar! Let's crack open the King's private reserve to celebrate!" Everyone cheered as they made their way to the cellar.

Of course Fergus wasn't happy about that. "Woh! Woh! Woh!" Fergus tuns to one his servants and whispers, "Bring them tiny glasses."

They all leave the Great Hall and Merida goes to Elinor and does a little dance of joy "ge-ge-ge-ge…" before realizing they have to mend the tapestry. "The tapestry!"

The girls gathered around. "This time we're helping said Tiana."

In the room, Merida was thinking of what to go. "Mend the bond." Merida recited as she touched the tear in the tapestry. "Mend the bond. Stitch it up. This'll change ye back."

As they were walking up to the room only moments before, Merida had explained what all had happened to her and Elinor. The girls was silent as she heard the story. But they soon understood why the boys became bear cubs, though she didn't really mention that little event just yet. "All we need is needle and thread." Miracle said. "And most definitely answers to prayers." Elinor walked over to a chest and opened it to retrieve a needle, but she was soon distracted by a bow of apples. A growl startled the sisters, causing them to turn around. "Mum?" Merida asked. They both saw their mother foraging the food. "Mum? Not now." Merida groaned. "No. Please, not now."

Pocahontas said, "The spell is affecting her mind." She tried to get her attention. Elinor was acting like a real bear. Even her eyes seemed cold and lifeless, so unlike Elinor. "It's the spell. If I don't mend the bond, she change into a real bear and not be her normal self ever again, just like-"

"Just like Mor'du." Marie realised. "Mor'du was the prince from the stories. She'll be just like him." She explained as she helped Merida with her mother.

The girls tried their best to keep her quiet when they heard Fergus walking by, but it was all in vain. They could hear his searching the hall for Elinor, screaming her name right after he found a torn dress and saw claw marks everywhere. "ELINOR!"

Fergus then suddenly burst through the door to find the princess pulling at the tapestry. "Girls?" He then turned to find a growling bear standing behind them. "What?" He shouted.

"Dad, no It's not what ye think!" Merida tried to explain as she blocked his path to Elinor.

"Merida, get back!" Fergus yelled. He ignored His eldest daughter's pleas as he went to attack the bear.

"NO!" The princess cried out. Elinor stood on two legs and roared as Fergus went on to unknowingly attack his wife with his sword.

"NO, DA! DON'T HURT HER!" Merida cried out.

Merida had some how ran over to grab her father's arm. Fergus then, unintentionally, dragged Merida in front of him, causing Elinor to rear up and slash at her arm. Merida cried in pain as she let go of her father. Fergus was livid. He turned back to the bear and fought with fierceness. The princesses tried to stop him but he was too strong. They helplessly watched as the parents fought one another. Elinor was able to push Fergus into a wall so hard that he fell to the floor. Just as she was about to deliver the killing blow, the color came back to the queen's eyes. Elinor was in fear to find her husband on the floor in front of her and her daughter scared to death protected by the girls. She backed away and stood up as she stared at her claws.

"Mum." Merida said as she tried to step closer, Miracle right behind her. Elinor then saw the lascerasion on her daughter's arm and whimpered. "It's alrigh'. I'm alrigh'. It's just a little scratch." Merida tried to explain. But Elinor was so in shock that she wouldn't hear any of it. She feared for the safety of the family so she ran out of the room.

"MUM!" Meridacried out.

Fergus stood up on wobly leg and peg. The princesses turned to help him steady himself. "Count yer stars, lasses. It almost had ye. Are ye hurt?" He asked them.

"It's yer wife, Elinor!" Merida tried to explain.

"Wha'?"

"She's right!" Aurora added.

"Yer all talkin' nonsense!" Fergus stated.

"It's the truth." Belle claimed. "There was a witch and she gave her a spell. It's not Mor'du."

"Mor'du or not, I'll avenge her!" Fergus exclaimed as he pushed past them. "I'll not risk loosin' any of ye." And with that, Fergus closed and locked the door.

"No, Da! Just listen to us! Please!" Merida pleaded.

As they kept screaming for Fergus to listen, the further Fergus walked away. He then gave the key to Maudie, ordering her to not them out. Merida kept trying to break the door with anything she could her hands on. The girls didn't know what to do, but they tried their best to help. Merida's finally gave up when iron fire poker bent in half. She instead used it to break a window so they could see what was happening outside. They both gasped as they saw the clans riding out to the forest on horseback with weapons and torches. This caused Merida to cry. She felt helpless.

But she quickly sat up when she noticed Ariel pulling the tapestry off the wall. "Aren't you going to help me? Cause this is heavy."

The girls quickly join her. Once it finally gave way and fell on the floor with the girls, Merida realised she needed to get out. But Maudie had the key. She ran to the door and screamed out the window, "Maudie! We need ye! Now!"

Cinderella quickly joined her sister. But instead of calling for Maudie, she called for someone else. "Boys! We need yer help!" Within moments, sodt footsteps were heard. From the shadows, the girls saw three bear cubs with sweet blue eyes.

"There ye are." Snow White sighed in relief.

"Oh, no." Merida mumbled.

Maudie, choosing this moment of all moment, walked up the stares and saw the boys. She gasped and clutched the key to her chest. The princesses looked at each other with knowing looks and said to the boys at the same time and in the same authoritive tone, "Get the fucking key." The boys nodded at their sisters and turned back to Maudie, who decided that only solution was to stuff the key into her bodice. The boys then started the chase by making faces to get Maudie running.

While the boys were trying to get the key, the girls were trying to find a needle and thread to start stitching the tapestry. "Needle and thread. Needle and thread." Merida kept repeaing the montra as she searched for the needle in the chest. "Oh, ye beauty!" She exclaimed as she found one. Jasmine searched for a spool of thread in a dresser drawer nearby.

But then Merida's locket began to glow. "What now?" The girls smiled. Since they didn't have time to say their usual lines, they just touched their jewels and transformed. Merida was shocked. "You mea?" They nodded. "I'm?" They nodded again. Merida gave up. "Screw it." She got her locket. "Princess Bravery Power…Make Up!" She transformed. "Now what?"

While out in the storm, chasing the bear, the horses all suddenly halted when a monstrous roar was heard. The ground shook in a pulse, almost like footsteps. Then, out from the trees came a giant. The lordsons knew quickly to stay still, but anyone else that saw it screamed and fled. Fergus didn't seem to notice it as he kept chasing the bear.

Just then, the boys showed up at the window with the key. They were able to unlock the door and rush out to the stables. Merida got on her horse, and thanks to the lockets the girls got their horses back too. They hopped on, Angus carried Merida, the tapestry and her bothers while the girls road next to her. As they rode, Merida continued to stitch the tapestry.

Meanwhile, the men followed their king and soon trapped the bear. While riding, Merida screamed that she was finnished sewing the tapestry to the girls. The horse then came to a sudden stop when a Whisp showed itself to all five royals. The Whisps then made a path toward the Sacred Stones of the Highlands. The horse quickly followed. Unbeknownst to them, a set of evil eyes saw them and began to follow after.

Not a moment too soon, Merida pulled a lightening arrow and bow and yelled, "Lightning Arrow Storm!" The arrows hit the same sword that was about to kill the queen. Everyone was shocked to find the princesses hopping off their horses and racing to the bear. Merida held another arrow on her bow while the girls surrounded the queen. "Get back!" Merida ordered. "Don't you harm my mother!"

"Are ye out of yer minds, lassy?" Fergus questioned as he watched his daughter stand between him and the bear in a scout outfit.

"Mum, are ye hurt?" Merida asked. The bear whimpered an answer.

Fergus pushed them out of the way. They were caught by the men. Merida flipped the lordson over and got her bow and arrow again running over and blocking his killing strike in the knick of time, a fierce glare shot at her father as she grunted in anger. "Merida!" Fergus never thought his youngest daughter would do this!

Miracle pushed her father back and knock his sword from his hand. While he was defenceless, she swung her sword at his peg, slicing off a few inches, causing him to fall backwards to the ground. "I'll not have ye kill my mother and it's Sailor Brave." She seethed. Everyone stood in shock. No one would dare speak that way to the king or even attack him like she did.

The boys then crawled all over their father, trying to convince him that it was them. He only yelped in fear. "Boys!" Their sisters called. Upon hearing that, they jumped off of Fergus.

Fergus had to do a double take. Did he hear correctly? "Boys?"

Suddenly, a stomp from the other side of the circle was heard. Everyone turned to find..."Mor'du!" The princesses cried.

"Kill it!" Fergus yelled.

The lords, and lordsons went straight for the demon bear with spears and weapons, but Mor'du already smacked them away. More warriors tried to attempt the same, but the results were the same.

Then it was the scouts turn. "Blind Light Blaster!"

"Mermaid Typhoon Monsoon!"

"Rose Vince Blast!"

"Call of the Wild!"

"Slice n' Dice Slash!"

"Sonic Song Strike!"

"Dream Serious Sword!"

"Great Air Blaster!"

"Chien Long Huo!"

"Bayou Lily Evolution!"

"Solar Sun Beam!"

Fergus ran up and punched Mor'du square in the jaw. "C'mon! I'll take ye with my bare hands!"

As much as it prided the girls to see Fergus, his attempts were proven useless as Mor'du flung him across the circle. Merida then shot an arrow into his shoulder, gaining his attention. As she was about to fire another, Mor'du knock the bow out of her hand and pushed her to the ground. He hovered over her and roared, ready to eat her in one bite. That set Elinor off and her mother instincts kicked in. The queen pulled the ropes that were holding her down. She then charged at Mor'du, tackling him to the ground and chomping on his shoulder. The bears exchanged roars before Mor'du tried to get near Merida. Elinor blocked his path and roared loudly at him. Mor'du was enraged as he and Elinor pushed at each other until he was able to slash at her face. "MUM!" Merida screamed.

"NO!" the girls screamed.

Mor'du them flung Elinor toward one of the Sacred Stones.

Suddenly, a small stone hit Mor'du's muzzle, causing his gaze to shift to the side. He saw Miracle holding another stone. She threw it and it hit his forehead. Mor'du roared as he charged toward the princess. Miracle just stood her ground, showing no fear. Mor'du then slowly walked up to her, standing his full height. The queen looked at the stone she hit and noticed the crack across the entire middle. It gave her an idea! Turning back, Elinor saw Mor'du heading toward Merida, who got her weapons ready. Just as the bear demon was about to end the newest scout, the queen dragged him by his hind legs and pushed him into the wobbling stone. She kept pushing, breaking the stone even more, but as she was distracted, Mor'du slashed at her once again, sending Elinor back toward Merida. Mor'du went to charge. Just as he was about to reach them, the Sacred Stone fell on top of him, killing him instantly.

Blue smoke rose from the stone, forming the lost prince. Everyone couldn't believe what they were seeing. He looked at Merida and Elinor before bowing his head, thanking them from releasing his soul. He looked at his chest and him, including everyone saw the All Evil mark where his heart was. It floated out of him and it went away. He turned to Merida. "Thank you…Sailor Brave. You have finally freed from my curse." Then he saw Adam and glared. "But be weary of your mission ahead. Evil is afoot and he doesn't share power." Then he transformed into a Whisp. And with that, he vanished.

Then Belle noticed the sun and pointed it out to Merida. Merida had then gasped, "The second sunrise." She ran to Angus and pulled the tapestry off of him as the sunlight kissed the top of the Stones. With the tapestry, she ran to Elinor covered her with it like a blanket. Elinor just laid there while Merida took a few steps back, waiting for something to happen. She glanced at the approaching sunrise, hoping for her mother to change. When she looked back at her mother, she was frightened to find her eyes turning black and hearing her give a low growl. "No." Merida whimpered. "I don't understand. I..." She could no longer hold it in. Merida let out a sob as she fell to her knees. heart was breaking as she spoke. "Oh, Mum, I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I did this to you. To us." Elinor didn't even act like herself. She sniffed Merida's hair like she didn't know her.

"Ye've always been there fer me." Merida cried as she hugged her mother. "Ye've never given up on me." Elinor seemed to look as though she were trying to remember the lass who had her arms around her neck. "I just want ye back." Grant couldn't bear to see Merida in tears, so he tightly closed his eyes as he bowed his head. The death of his own mother nearly killed him as a lad. But to see someone lose their mother while she was still there in front of them was even more heatbreaking.

"I want ye back, Mummy." Merida sobbed. Those words seemed to remind Elinor of something. The light of the sunrise shined on everyone, even Fergus, who was now comforting the cubs that were his sons and at one time even human, Harris especially since he was sobbing into his father's kilt. The girls started to cry silently and Adam tried his best to comfort them.

Merida's sobbing was hurting everyone. But not as much as this. "I love ye." She whispered as the light slowly shined on both of them. Suddenly, Merida felt arm wrap around her. In shock, she pulled away to find her mother's face smiling down and chuckling. "Mum! Yer back!" Elinor then laughed as she kissed her daughter's face. "Ye changed!"

"Oh, darling, we both have." Elinor said.

"MUM!" Merida and Elinor looked up to find Miracle ruuning to them and leaping into the hug. "Oh, Mum. I'm so happy yer here!" She exclaimed.

Elinor hugged Merida back and said. "My sweet lass. I'll always be here." She then kissed her daughter's forehead and said. "I'm proud to call ye my daughter. And how ye've became a woman. But I have to say I'm not fond on the length of that skirt."

Merida giggled. "No offence mom, but I don't think I have control over that. It comes with the package."

"ELINOR!" Fergus shouted as he limped to his wife. Not even ametre away, he tumbled next his wife and daughters, causing them to laugh as he hugged them. He then dipped Elinor and kissed her the way only a husband would kiss his wife, causing Merida to gag.

"Oh, dear." Elinor giggled after she was brought up.

Merida and Miracle both hugged their father with joy. The princesses could hear the lords approaching. And it was then they noticed something. "Oh!"

"Mum." Merida whispered.

Elinor soon noticed the problem as well. "Um, dear?" She motioned to Fergus. "I'm naked. Naked as a wee babby." She whispered. Upon hearing this, Fergus gave his wife a look that shocked here. She gently slapped his arm as she said, "Don't just stare at me. Do something!"

Fergus then saw the lords looking at his wife, who was covered only in the tapestry. "What the...!" He then used his massive hands to shield his wife's body. "Avert yer eyes, lads! Show some respect!" The lords chuckled as they turned around. The triplets then ran past the lords, in the NUDE to their family. Hamish and Hubert lept into their mon's asrms while Harris jumped into Fergus' grasp. The laughed as he said, "Now that's what I call a wee naked babby!" He then threw his son in the air and caught him.

After that fiasco, it was time for the lords to go. The only one staying at the moment was Adam. The princes were on their dad as he was getting the girls attention. Elinor and Merida was working on a new tapestry together as the rest of the scouts were doing theirs. They soon arrived at the docks where there was a few surprises. One was that the mussel man was flirting with Maudie, the 3rd prince was trying to flirt with Merida but she was disgusted, and it turns out that his father was trying to make Fergus come with him. Soon the boats left but as Fergus was waving his saw his sons on one of the boast. He had no choice to but to get them. On the hill side, watching over the lands, was Merida and her mother, is more beautiful flowing dresses. They road their horses as a Wisp watched them.

That night, while everyone was asleep, the girls, and Adam, were having a night out in the garden. Merida lay back tired. "Thank God they're gone."

Ariel giggled. "Want to go through that again?"

"No!"

Belle said, "But you have to admit it was fun."

"You weren't with me!"

Snow White asked, "But did you bond with your mother?"

"Yes."

Then Jasmine said, "Then that's all that counts."

Aurora said, "At least you're a bit wiser now compared to what you were before."

Cinderella said, "And you finally compromised."

Merida sat up. "I guess you're right."

Pocahontas said, "And it could be worst. We would've never had freed the prince."

Mulan said, "That and I think Elinor's mother instincts finally kicked in."

Tiana asked, "But if you were to choose, who would you pick?"

Merida said, "In truth, either one of the first 2."

Rapunzel said, "New that."

Adam said, "You know you remind me of someone."

Merida asked, "Who?"

He said, "There was a man who likes to dress up as a girl, but even though he was shun of doing that, he taught a lot of people, not to be afraid of who you are."

Marie said, "I know that guy. RuPaul. Oh he's amazing and I especially love his music."

Merida asked, "Can you sing it please?"

Marie said, "Well I need some music for it."

Adam said, "No problem." He used his ice powers to make some instruments and they started to play. "Sing it!"

Marie rolled her eyes. "Pick myself up, turn the world on its head. Don't forget what, don't forget what my mama said, People talking since the beginning of time. Unless they paying your bills, pay them bitches no mind."

Then Adam sang. "And if I fly, or if I I can say I gave it all. And if I fly, or if I fall. I'm on my way, I'm on my way."

Then both. "Fly, fly, fly, fly uh oh uh uh oh [x4]. Uh oh... now sissy that walk!"

The rest of the girls started to dance and Merida started to give it a chance. "Better beware. Ain't no T, ain't no shade. But at the same time, bitches better get out the way. I'm a femme queen, mother of a house of no shame. My heart is on fire, now kiss the flame."

Then all of them. "And if I fly, or if I fall. Least I can say I gave it all. And if I fly, or if I fall. I'm on my way, I'm on my way. Fly, fly, fly, fly uh oh uh uh oh [x4] Uh oh... now sissy that walk!"

After that, the girls went to bed, leaving Marie and Adam alone. Adam sat next to her. "So happy that this one is over?" he asked.

Marie said, "Oh yes. To tell you the truth I was worried about this one."

Adam lay back. "But you can rest now right?"

Marie smiled. "Yes I can. I am sorry Merida broke your arrow."

Adam said, "It's alright. Sometimes I like to show off."

Marie said, "There is one thing I want to ask you. The chain that you have, when we were dancing, is it real?"

Adam pulled it out. It was still on his neck. "As real as you and me." He sat up. "I do hope you get rid of this soon." He smiled at her. "Cause I do like you."

Marie blushed. "But we barely know each other."

"Don't care. Feels like we were meant to be together." He held her hands. "I hope you will give me a chance." He kissed her cheek and disappeared.

Marie blushed. "Man I'm in trouble."

There are those who say fate is something beyond our command, that destiny is not our own. But I…no…we know better. Our fates live within us. You only have to be brave enough to find it. We did and though we had bumps in the road, the journey was a reward in itself.

Okay I couldn't wait so I'll tell you. Here are the answers for the clues. Whitney Avalon, todrickhall, and TraciJHines. I'm not going to tell you which ones I'm going to use but I am using some of their music for the last chapter of this story. I think they are really good and I just have to give them a shout out to them in the fanfiction world. Oh and if you're wondering about the songs on the Disney on Ice chapter, it's just going to be a fusion Disney, modern, and Sailor Moon songs. Also note: The reason this took FOREVER is because THERE ISN'T A BRAVE TRANSCRIPT ANYWHERE FOR ME TO USE! SO LAY OFF!
