INT. ETIQUETTE CLASS – DAY

Ms. Sarah holds her cup of tea in the air sitting on a garish chair.

MS. SARAH

Teacups up!

Merida sits at a table with other ladies in training wearing a wimple, her teacup hovering miserably in the air.

MS. SARAH

Pinkies out.

She demonstrates and takes a sip of her tea.

Merida pokes out her pinkie. A coil of her hair pops out of her wimple.

INT. HALLWAY – DAY

Merida walks down a hall of windows overlooking a garden, feeling lousy and uncomfortable. PETER PAN appears outside the window and notices Merida. He mimics her. She notices him, stops, and turns to face him. He turns to face her.

MERIDA

Would you cut it out!

He continues copying her every move. Merida makes faces at him. He pulls the same face then stops...He looks behind her, slowly backs away, terrified.

MERIDA

What is it?

She jumps around. There's nothing there. She turns back to Peter who's rolling around on the ground in a laughing fit.

MERIDA (CONT'D)

Ha, ha. Very funny.

She rolls her eyes and notices the sports equipment closet.

INT. SPORTS EQUIPMENT CLOSET – DAY

Merida walks inside, enchanted by the abundance of dull, game-friendly Gauntlet sporting weapons. There's a collection of swords tucked in their sheaths, a wall of formidable shields, an intimidating display of axes and spiked morning stars. Then something catches Merida's eyes. She moves toward a row of magnificent bows and arrows. She reaches out to touch a bow--

The school bell chimes. She takes her hand away and sadly slips back out of the room.
