Merryweather Academy for Princesses

by Muirgheal-of-Lantern-Waste

Since many weren't royally raised, the eleven Disney princesses attend the Three Good Fairies' school to learn to become proper princesses. Snow White, Cinderella, and Briar Rose don't have much difficulty, but the others are raising all kinds of trouble. Queen Elinor hears about the academy and sends Merida there to socialize with girls her own age. Shenanigans ensue.

4. Merida's Schedule (Merida Meets Eilonwy)

Heedlessly fleeing Language and Articulation, Merida tripped over a pig and knocked a princess over. A PIG-what on earth...?

An indignant voice protested. "Do be careful! I really don't like getting knocked over, but I think Henwen likes being stepped on even less."

Merida apologized, noticing that the princess she'd bowled over was yet another blonde. But there was something odd about her. She seemed to glow, and a small golden light hovered slightly to the side of her head. Unlike Aurora's perfect curls, the other princess's blonde locks flowed down past her waist, bound only with a black velvet band.

"I'm Merida of DunBroch, by the way."

"I am Princess Eilonwy, daughter of Angharad, daughter of Regat of the Royal House of Llyr."

"That's a mouthful," Merida commented.

Eilonwy laughed. "My friends call my Eilonwy. You haven't heard the rest of my genealogy either! Where were you going in such a hurry?"

"I was fleeing Language and Articulation. Whoever thought it was a gude idea must be daft." Merida shook her head, causing her brilliant curls to bounce everywhere.

"It's an awful class, isn't it? Now I have Conversation instead. It's not much better, but at least they don't treat me like an idiot. I take it you're new. They put all the new students in there. "

Just then, Mulan finished neatly packing her things and came out of the classroom. "They also put all the non-European students there, no matter how long we've been in here." She sighed.

After introducing Mulan and Merida, Eilonwy offered to take them to Magic class, taught by the one and only Dallben.

Merida looked doubtful, recalling her own experiences with magic. "Isn't magic very dangerous?"

"Not when you know how to use it!" Eilonwy smiled. "The only danger is not knowing what you're doing. Dallben is quite a respectable wizard and wouldn't teach us anything wrong."

They tripped off to the magic class, Eilonwy leading the way. Mulan said, "But don't you have a schedule you have to follow on the first day?"

"That piece of paper Lady Dove gave me? With all the squares and things?"

"It's pretty important..." said Mulan, deciding that Merida didn't think things through very often.

The ginger shrugged. "Aurora has it. After she dumped me in the classroom she forgot to give it back."

Mulan raised an eyebrow. "So you're skipping your next class to come with us to Magic and Potions."

Merida grinned. "Aye!"

Oh well.
