"Now Merida that is not how a young lady should act" Elinor scolded her child for the tenth time that day "You're eighteen now yet you still act like some wild boar your father hunted last October"
The eldest McCullough child was currently covered in pond water after she had tried to go duck hunting, it would have gone well if the ducks didn't decide to gang up against her.
"Maaaaaaw" the teenager whined "We ain't livin' in da ages anymore where da women just stay hame and wash der husband's breeks"
But the older woman would have none of it "Merida you are a very attractive woman and if I man where to see you in such a position it would give them the wrong idea"
Merida snorted "Oh they'll definitely get da wrong idea" she showed her fist "And I'll make sure they'll get a good whippin' in the bahooky"
"I'm serious young lady" Elinor crossed her arms "If you continue to sport this behaviour I won't be letting you study in America"
She dropped her fist "MAAAAAWWWW! Dat ain't fair!"
"I think it would be 'unfair' if we even let you go there" Elinor placed her hands on her hips "If you keep your up with your disgraceful act how would we know if you could even survive the States?"
Merida muttered "They're wilder in the States"
"EXACTLY!" Elinor raised her voice "How will I know if I don't receive a call after two months saying you're overdosing under a dumpster with some questionable old man!"
"Maaw, yer been watchin' too many spring break movies" Merida had walked into her mother watching Hannah Montana one time and when she asked why she was watching such a thing the woman just claimed it was research.
"I'm just trying to protect you" Elinor fumed "Can't you just see the point in that?"
Merida sighed "Fine I'll try to be a bit more . . . proper . . ."
Elinor looked at her daughter in the eye "You sure about that? No more hunting bare-handed, wrestling in mud and drinkin at the local pub?"
The redhead rolled her eyes "Yea . . . wait how ye know I go der?"
The woman just brought out a small pocketbook from nowhere and wrote something on it "So you admit to do underage drinking?"
"I ONLY HAD A SKOOSH!" Merida yelled before retreating to her bedroom clearly irritated on how her mom had found out about that even though she just went there to go pee.

A Few Months Later . . .
"Merida!" Tiana called her friend in the middle of the field "Answer your phone! Your mom's calling me in the middle of marketing class again!"
The Scot groaned "But I called her last night!"
"For twenty-five seconds!" Tiana waved "Come on girl call your mother chop chop"
Merida turned to her teammates "This will only take a sec"
"Nah" their Captain Robin Hudwink waved a hand "Take yer time lass"
She nodded before going to the locker rooms to look for her bag "Doesn't she have anything better to do?" she checked the clock "Hmm . . . they should still be having dinner by now"
That was when she saw Tiana tapping on the window from the outside "Pick. Up. Phone" she mouthed.
"Alright already" Merida grabbed her phone from her rucksack and pressed #4 on her speed dial "Hello Maw?"
"And why have you decided to just call now?" Elinor's voice was already loud enough"
"I called last night" Merida said sheepishly.
"To ask for lunch money" Elinor groaned "You didn't even bother to say hi"
"I call you every other night!" Merida saw Anna coming up behind Tiana, it seemed like her mother had called most of her friends "Did ye hav ta disturb evry one else?"
"Just to make sure they're your actual friends and not just your cheating buddies in class"
The redhead face-palmed "Of course you'd hav ta think dat way"
"So aren't you going to tell me how your day went?" Elinor raised a brow.
"Maw! I'm hoachin' for the archery competition dis Friday" Merida closed her eyes preparing for the strong impact of . . .
"ARCHERY!?" both Anna and Tiana winced as they saw their friend put her phone away from her ear "YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THAT!"
Still keeping the phone at a certain distance "I did tell you . . . last week"
She could imagine her mother going over her little pocket journal that she loves to write everything with "I don't recall . . . why didn't you consult me?"
"Cause ye widnae let me join anyway" Merida rolled her eyes "Ye rader hae me take up ballet lessons"
Insulted "There is nothing wrong . . ."
"Maw I hae to go" Merida also notice from the window that one of their members were having an argument with the Tennis team again "I love ye goodbye" and without another word she hung up and went outside to see her friends.
"So your mom finally found out" was the first thing Anna said.
The red head shrugged "Better she ken thon than wha happened in the Zon last week"
Tiana smirked "You grinding with that boy from Dreamworks?"
At once Anna slapped Merida's shoulder blasé "Bad girl! Have you no shame!"
"Tell thon to her!" Merida pointed at the Louisianan "She went with Kenai on one of da empty stall at da back"
"And you're telling me winking at Pinochio was disgraceful!" Anna pouted "Who knew you were a hyprocrite!"
"Oh shut up Anna" Tiana crossed her arms "We know the virgin among the three of us is Merida"
"Uh huh" Merida nodded before realizing "Oi! I actually hae virtues!"
Both Anna and Tiana looked at each other before turning to Merida "You do?"
