Onward: Don't Hold Back

New Mushroomton

Around 313 Pennybun Lane in New Mushroomton, Merida throw away the trash in the garbage can. She was being greeted by the mermaid in the pool. The princess greets the mermaid back. Merida heads back into the Lightfoots' house.

The princess has been around New Mushroomton for three days.

The little green dragon runs after Merida.

The princess got love-tackled by Blazey.

Merida chortles with the little green dragon. Blazey gives the princess kisses on her face. Merida snorts a few times thru her laughter.

Laurel finishes up her morning workout. She turned off her television. Laurel noticed her pet dragon. She was happy. "Blazey!" Laurel added, exclaiming. She grabs her water spray bottle. Laurel squirts it at the dragon's face thrice times. She gestures to Blazey. "Down, dragon, down! Back to your lair!" Laurel exclaims, giggling.

Blazey hurried back to her lair.

The princess smiles at the little green dragon.

Laurel helped her up. "Sorry about Blazey, Merida. She's very friendly." Laurel apologized.

The princess extends her both hands. "I get it, madam. Your dragon is so cute." Merida mentioned.

The princess got off the hardwood floor. Merida brushed the dust out of her dress.

Laurel was heartfelt. "Awww, thank you, Merida. And call me Laurel." She said.

Merida was confident. "Not at all, Laurel." The princess said.

Laurel pointed Merida out to the backyard. Laurel was smiling. "Go back to your archery practice." She instructed.

Merida was gladden with Laurel. "Will do, Laurel." The princess said.

Merida walked towards the door next to the kitchen.

The princess paused.

The side door opened by itself.

It was Barley. He was minding his own business in his emotionless expression. Barley has a book with him. He looked up. Barley was embarrassed.

Merida was grinning at the blue burly elf. "Hullo there, Barley." She added, waving. "Just going back on my archery practice in your backyard." The princess mentions.

The blue burly elf bowed his head. "M-Merida..." was all Barley said to the princess.

Merida sighed. She was polite. "Appreciate your courtesy. I gotta go." The princess said.

Barley was awkward with his smile. He just waves at her. Barley was blushing hard.

Merida clears her throat. "Bye." She said. The princess went out of the side door.

The blue burly elf shut the side door after Merida. Barley let out a big breath out in relief. He was stunned.

Barley was about to go to his bedroom under the stairs. He almost touch the doorknob.

"Wow, this is so embarrassing..."

It was his youngest brother who spoke. Ian was pitiful in his smile. The blue skinny elf was behind his elder brother.

Barely narrows his eyes. The blue burly elf was annoyed. Barley growled. "Ian, how long have ye watched me with the Scottish princess?" Barley asked.

The blue skinny elf wasn't gonna lie. "Just after you head into the kitchen." Ian answered frankly.

The blue burly elf growls louder. Barley opens his bedroom door. The blue burly elf was mad. He went inside.

Ian was surprised at his elder brother. He goes after him. "Barley, I don't really mean to see you with Merida like that." Ian said truthfully.
