Clayton and Seifer Propose to Merida and Paula/Becoming the Demon Bear's Prisoners

*(The next day, Clayton (Now wearing a black long-sleeved tuxedo jacket, a white long-sleeved, button-up, collar-flapped shirt, a gray sleeveless waistcoat with three small black buttons, a black bow tie, black knee-length pants, gray knee-high socks with red toes and heels (With a hole in the right sock), black boots, white gloves, a black cape with a gold latch attached to it, and a black top hat with a white band), Seifer (Now wearing a navy blue long-sleeved ballroom coat with golden yellow lining, epaulettes, and buttons, white pants with red lining, a gold crown with an assortment of jewels on it, white gloves, black boots, and a royal red cape with fluffy, white trimming), Popple, and Vanitas peeked through the bushes)*

Popple: (Smirks) Oh, boy! Merida and Paula are gonna get the surprises of their lives, huh, Clayton and Seifer?

Clayton: Yup.

Seifer: This is their lucky day.

*(As he and Clayton walked out, he let go of the branch he held, which slammed to the male Beanbean creature’s face, making him have leaves in his mouth. Vanitas laughed at this. The poacher and teenager turned to the villagers, who were preparing for the wedding)*

Seifer: Clayton and I would like to thank you all for coming to our wedding.

Clayton: But first, we gotta go in there and propose to the girls.

*(The crowd laughed, though only the Kanker sisters were crying their eyes out and the good villagers just rolled their eyes in annoyance. Vanitas then turned to Popple)*

Vanitas: (Points to him) You, Popple! Now, when Merida, Clayton, Paula, and Seifer come out that door….

Popple: (Nods) Oh, I know. I know, I strike up the band!

*(He then started conducting a band that played "Here Comes The Bride" at a fast pace. The music stopped when Vanitas slammed the male Beanbean creature’s head inside the tuba angrily)*

Vanitas: Not yet!

Popple: (With his head inside the tuba) Sorry.

*(Inside, Merida and Paula were reading while Kayley was sewing a yellow dress on a dummy, and Garrett was eating a bagel with cream cheese and drinking coffee while reading the morning newspaper with Ayden perched on his right shoulder. Just then, they heard the door knocking)*

Garrett: I think it's for you, Merida.

*(The Scottish princess went over to the door, peeking through the hole. There, she saw Clayton and Seifer there. She only groaned before opening it with Clayton and Seifer stepping in and closing the door)*

Merida: (Fake smiles) Clayton. What a pleasant surprise.

Clayton: Isn't it, though?

Garrett: (Frowns) What they doing here?

Kayley: I think if we ignore them, they'll probably go away.

Seifer: (Ignoring Kayley and Garrett) You know, I bet that there aren't any girls in town who would love to be in your shoes.

Clayton: This is the day....

*(He and Seifer stopped for a moment, looking at a mirror to examine their facial features before continuing)*

Clayton: This is the day that your dreams come true.

Paula: (Nervously) What do you and Clayton know about our dreams, Seifer?

Seifer: Plenty.

Kayley: (Rolls eyes) Oh, brother.

*(Clayton and Seifer then sat down on the table where Merida and Paula placed Merida's book down)*

Clayton: Now, picture this. *(Places his feet up)* A rustic hunting lodge. Our latest kill roasting over the fire. *(Kicks his boots off)* And my little wife massaging my feet.

Paula: Ewww!

*(Garrett quickly covered his nose while the girls grimaced in disgust)*

Seifer: While the little ones play on the floor with the dogs. We'll have six or seven.

Merida: (Confused) Dogs?

Seifer: No, boys!

Clayton: Strapping boys like me and Seifer!

Garrett: (Sarcastically) Oh yeah, imagine that.

*(Merida took her book and placed it back on the bookshelf after cleaning it)*

Seifer: And you know who those little wives will be?

Merida: Let me think.

Clayton and Seifer: You, Merida and Paula!

*(The group got shocked as Merida and Paula backed off at the front door)*

Paula: (Surprised) Clayton, Seifer…. We're, uh, speechless.

Merida: Paula and I honestly don't know what to say….

*(Clayton and Seifer went up to them suave-like)*

Seifer: Say you'll marry us.

Clayton: And we'll be married immediately.

Merida: Uh, Paula and I…. I just don't deserve you both.

Paula: But thanks for asking! Bye!

*(Paula quickly opened the door behind her and Merida, and they stepped aside, causing Clayton and Seifer to be shoved out by Merida. The poacher and teenage boy then fell out of the door and into the mud puddle. The band began playing as Kayley threw Clayton's boots out and slammed the door. When the band stopped, Popple turned to where Clayton and Seifer fell, then looked at him while Vanitas got calmly surprised after Clayton and Seifer got up, covered in mud and glaring)*

Popple: So…. How did it go?

Vanitas: I wouldn't say that if I were you.

*(Clayton grabbed the Beanbean creature by the neck angrily as Seifer stepped out of the mud puddle, shaking mud off angrily at Vanitas)*

Vanitas: Hey!

Clayton: Seifer and I will have Paula and Merida for our wives!

Seifer: Make no mistake about that!

*(Clayton then threw Popple down into the mud near a pig before stomping away with Seifer and a disgusted mud-covered Vanitas)*

Popple: (To a pig sarcastically) Yeesh, touchy.

*(Later, when everyone else was gone, Merida, Paula, and their friends peeked out the door)*

Merida: Are they gone?

Kayley: Yep, they're gone.

*(They sighed in relief as they went to the gate to feed some chickens)*

Merida: Can you guys imagine? Those *bawheids* asked me and Paula to marry them!

Paula: Us! The wives of those boorish, brainless...!

Garrett: Tell me about it!

*(Merida and Paula began singing)*

Merida: **Madame Clayton**

**Can you just see it?**

*(She and Paula then placed each towels over their heads, resembling a housewife)*

Paula: **Madame Almasy**

**His little wife**

*(Paula kicked a bucket of feed, scaring the chickens before she and Merida removed their towels)*

Merida and Paula: **No, sirs**

**Not us**

**We guarantee it**

**We want much more than this provincial life**

*(They then ran into the open fields a'la "The Sound of Music" with her friends, following and trying to catch up to her)*

Merida and Paula: **We want adventure in the great wide somewhere**

**We want it more than we can tell**

*(Merida then picked up a dandelion as she and Paula sat on the ground)*

Merida and Paula: **And for once it might be grand**

**To have someone understand**

*(Merida then let the wind blow away the dandelion)*

Merida and Paula: **We want so much more than they've got planned**

*(At that moment, a familiar scared horse came running, still pulling the wagon that held the invention)*

Merida's group: Angus?

Garrett: What's he doing here?

Kayley: What happened?

*(The group looked at the wagon, noticing Fergus and Elinor not on it while trying to calm Angus down)*

Merida: Where's Mom and Dad?

Kayley: Where are they, Angus?

Garrett: What happened?

*(The group then got worried as they unpacked the invention and boarded the wagon while Merida climbed on Angus' back)*

Paula: We have to find them.

Merida: Do you know where they are?

*(Angus nods with a sputter)*

Garrett: Then you have to take us to them.

*(Later, the group rode with Angus and the wagon to the castle gates. They looked at it in confusion)*

Kayley: What's a castle doing in the middle of the woods?

Garrett: I don't know.

*(Angus panicked at first, but Merida, Paula, and their friends climbed off and calmed him)*

Merida: Angus! Easy!

Paula: We'll find them!

*(After noticing a stable, the group dropped Angus off and then noticed Fergus' crown and two lone pink roses on the ground)*

Merida and Paula: Mom, Dad…! (Mommy, Daddy…!)

*(Inside, Chuckie paced back and forth past Tommy and Kimi with his front legs crossed)*

Chuckie: (Glares) Couldn't keep quiet, could we? You had to invite them to stay, didn't we? *(Mockingly)* Serve them tea. Sit in the master and his brother's chairs. Pet the wolf-pooch.

Tommy: We were only trying to be nice and hospitable.

Kimi: Wouldn't you rather that they'd freeze to death outside?

*(Eddy thought it over and softened)*

Chuckie: Well, no, but....

Kimi: Exactly! We couldn't let that happen!

Tommy: (To Kimi) Despite that they're locked up now.

*(In the foyer, the door opened as Merida's group entered)*

Merida: Hello? Is anyone here?

*(They went upstairs, looking around each room)*

Paula: Hey, Mommy! Daddy!

Kayley: Fergus? Elinor?

Garrett: Fergus, Elinor, if this is your game of hide and seek, come on out!

*(In the kitchen, Aladdin and Jasmine were washing dishes before Mowgli ran into the room before stopping near his parents)*

Mowgli: Mom, Dad, there's two girls and their friends in the castle.

Aladdin: Now Mowgli, don't make up any more wild stories. Even though we’re wild animals, of course.

Mowgli: But really, I saw them!

Jasmine: You know…, Mowgli doesn't usually make up wild stories.

Aladdin: Don't encourage him, Jasmine!

*(Then, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Daisy, and Pluto come in)*

Minnie: Guys! We saw two girls and their friends in the castle!

Daisy: Come look and see!

*(Surprised, Aladdin and Jasmine turned to Mowgli)*

Mowgli: Told you.

*(He giggles a bit. Back with Tommy, Chuckie, and Kimi, Chuckie continued his lecture while Tommy made his paw mimic what Chuckie is saying, making Kimi giggle a bit)*

Chuckie: Irresponsible, devil-may-care, unsuspecting, slack-jawed…!

*(He noticed Tommy's paw mimic and glared in an indignant way)*

Chuckie: That's not funny, Tommy!

Merida and Paula: (Voice-over) Mom? Dad? (Mommy? Daddy?)

*(The three turned toward a doorway, noticing Merida, Paula, and their friends passing by without seeing them)*

Tommy: Did you see that?

*(They looked around the corner, noticing them going down the corridor)*

Tommy: (Gasps) It's two girls…! Two girls and their friends!

Chuckie: I know it's two girls and their friends!

*(Tommy smiled towards Merida and Paula)*

Tommy: Well, I’ll be! Those two might be perfect for the master and his brother!

Kimi: (Grins) Tommy’s right, Chuckie! *(Points to Merida and Paula)* They're the ones. Those two girls that we've been waiting for! They've come to break the spell!

*(They and Chuckie began to run after them, though Chuckie looked worried as he ran after them)*

Chuckie: Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

*(The animal servants opened the door the group passed by. When they came, Chuckie hid while Tommy took a flashlight and ran up a stairway with Kimi while the others noticed)*

Kayley: Hello?

Garrett: Hey?

Paula: Someone there?

*(Then, they heard running up the steps. The group turned, noticing before following)*

Garrett: Wait up!

*(The girls ran ahead with Garrett and Ayden)*

Merida: Wait! We're looking for me and my sister's parents! I….

*(Chuckie poked his head from behind the door, watching them rush up the steps. At the top, they came to the top with Tommy and Kimi hiding behind a pillar)*

Garrett: (Notices) Something wrong, girls?

Merida: (Looks around) That's funny. I'm sure there was someone….

Paula: Is anyone here?

*(Just then, two familiar figures called from the prison door)*

Fergus and Elinor: Guys?

Merida's Group: Mom, Dad! (Mommy, Daddy/Your Majesties!)

*(The Scottish king and queen poked their heads through the prison door, looking confused while Merida picked up the torch, seeing them)*

Fergus: H-H-How did you find us?

Kayley: Angus came back and brought us!

Paula: (Touching Elinor’s hand) My goodness, your hands are like ice.

*(Elinor coughed a bit)*

Garrett: Let's get you two out of here.

Fergus: Please, Elinor and I want you to leave this place.

Elinor: He's right!

Garrett: Who did this to you?

Kayley: And where is he?

Fergus: No time to explain.

Elinor: You must go, now!

Paula: No, we're not leaving you both!

*(Just then, a familiar black furred arm pulled Merida, causing her to let the torch go, and it fell into the water, darkening the area)*

Kenai: What are you doing here?!

Fergus and Elinor: Run, guys!

*(Garrett and Ayden prepared to defend themselves while Merida, Paula, and Kayley looked around nervously)*

Merida: Who's there?

Paula: Who are you?

Kayley: And we can't see you in the dark.

Kenai: I am known as the Demon Bear, owner of this castle!

*(Then another shadowy figure came out timidly)*

Kenai: (To the figure) Where were you?!

Figure: Well, I-I tried to catch up, but….

Kenai: Quiet! Look!

*(They noticed Merida's group)*

Merida: We've come for mine and my sister's parents!

Paula: Please let them out!

Kayley: Can't you see Elinor’s sick?

Kenai: Then they shouldn't have trespassed here or tried to steal any of my roses!

*(Realizing that explained the roses outside, Paula and Merida spoke up)*

Merida: My sister and I asked for the roses!

Paula: And Mommy could die without any help…!

Merida: Please, We'll do anything!

Kenai: (Glares) There's nothing you can do. Those two are my prisoners. *(To the concerned figure)* Come!

*(Kenai and the reluctant figure began to walk away from them)*

Paula: Oh, if there was something we could do….

Merida: I know…!

*(Then, they both had an idea reluctantly)*

Merida and Paula: Wait!

*(Kenai and the figure stopped, glancing over their shoulders. The Scottish princess and the blonde-haired girl, looking back at their parents and their friends, came into the light sadly)*

Merida: Take us instead.

Paula: Punish us.

Garrett and Kayley: What?!

Kenai: (Growls) You two? *(Got calm suddenly)* You would…? Take their place?

Figure: (Surprised calmly) Really?

*(Garrett, Kayley, and Ayden, concerned, got determined)*

Garrett: If Merida and Paula're staying here, so am I!

Kayley: Same here! We never leave a friend in need!

*(Ayden squawked in agreement)*

Fergus: Guys, no! Are you crazy?

Elinor: You don't know what you're doing at this moment!

Merida: (Ignoring her and Paula’s parents) Anyway, if we did, would you let our parents go please?

Kenai: Yes…. But you all must promise to stay here forever.

*(The group looked concerned before speaking)*

Merida: Come into the light.

Paula: We need to know who and what you both are.

*(Kenai and the figure hesitated for a moment. Finally, they both slowly moved into the light and the others' eyes widened. The figure revealed himself to be a young male demon bear cub with black fur, a brief tail, a dark gray muzzle and underbelly, a black nose, red eyes, blue pupils, sharp white teeth, and sharp black claws. When Kenai and the smaller demon bear were fully in the light, the group gasped with Merida turning away in fear)*

Elinor: No, guys!

Fergus: We won't let you do this!

*(Finally, Merida turned back to the two demon bears with Paula and their friends)*

Merida and Paula: You have our word.

Garrett and Kayley: We promise.

Kenai: Done!

*(He went over to the prison door as Merida and Paula sadly fell to their knees as Kayley and Garrett comforted them. When the door was unlocked and opened, Fergus and Elinor rushed over to them)*

Fergus: Merida, guys....

Elinor: You didn't have to do this!

*(Then, the two were dragged by the bigger Demon Bear)*

Little Demon Bear: Hey!

*(He followed as well)*

Merida's group: Wait!

Fergus and Elinor: Guys!

Merida's group: Wait!

*(She looked down while the others comforted her. Outside, the bigger Demon Bear dragged the two to a carriage with mechanical legs preparing it as the little Demon Bear watched)*

Elinor: Please, spare our daughters and friends at least!

Fergus: Please!

Kenai: (Snarls) They're no longer your concern and neither are their friends!

*(He shoved them inside the carriage before it slammed shut)*

Kenai: (To the carriage) Take them to the village!

*(With that, the mechanical carriage rode away. From the tower, the group watched the carriage being pulled away while Merida buried her face, crying)*

Paula: There, there....

Garrett: At least we're with you.

*(Later, as the bigger and little Demon Bears climbed the stairs, Tommy and Kimi came to them)*

Kimi: Wow.... You look very steamed.

Tommy: Uh, Masters?

Kenai: (Snaps) What?

Little Demon Bear: Yes?

Tommy: Well, since the girls and their friends are gonna be with us for a long time, I was thinking that you might want to offer them more comfortable rooms.

Kimi: That way....

*(They chuckled nervously a bit before they were given a death glare with a snarl by Kenai. He then continued up the steps, with the concerned little Demon Bear following as Tommy and Kimi looked nervous)*

Tommy: Then again, maybe not.

Kimi: Yeah.

*(When they neared the top, the little Demon Bear looked concerned)*

Little Demon Bear: Uh, I think you need to ease up a little.

Kenai: Why should I?!

Little Demon Bear: (Crosses his arms) At least Mom would've talked some sense into you if she were alive still!

*(Kenai hesitated a little. Then he glared daggers at his little brother and continued their walk. Arriving, they noticed the group comforting the crying Merida. She looked up at him with tears on her eyes)*

Merida: (Crying) You didn't let me and my sister say goodbye! Now we'll never see them again. *(Between tears)* And we didn't even get to say goodbye.

Garrett: I can't believe you did something as harsh as that!

Kayley: Who do you think you are?!

*(The little and bigger Demon Bears looked at each other in calm surprise, then after looking at the saddened little Demon Bear, Kenai felt guilty toward them before looking down)*

Kenai: Uh.... My brother and I'll show you to your room.

*(The group got surprised)*

Merida: (concerned) Our room? But I thought....

Kenai: What? Do you want to stay here?

Merida's group: No way.

Kenai: Then follow us.

Little Demon Bear: Come.

*(With that, the group, looking concerned, followed the two monsters. Later, the bigger Demon Bear, using a flashlight, along with the little Demon Bear, led the group through a maze of corridors. The Scottish princess and blonde girl looked curiously at everything in the corridor. She noticed the others leaving before being more worried)*

Merida and Paula: Wait!

*(They ran back to them. Kenai and the little Demon Bear looked back over their shoulders, noticing a tear in Merida and Paula's eyes. Tommy, looking as well, tilted his head with some concern)*

Tommy: (Whispering) Say something to at least those girls.

*(The bigger and little Demon Bears nodded before looking back at them)*

Kenai: I, uh.... Hope you like it here.

*(The group looked concerned)*

Kayley: (Concerned) Really?

Tommy: (Whispering) Go on.

*(Kenai and the little Demon Bear spoke up again)*

Kenai: This castle is your home now.

Little Demon Bear: That means you're allowed to go anywhere you want.

Kenai: Except for the West Wing.

Paula: What's in the West...?

Kenai: (Sternly) It's forbidden!

*(The little Demon Bear calmed Kenai immediately)*

Little Demon Bear: Come.

*(They continued onward until they stopped at the East Wing. The door opened up, revealing the guest room. Cautiously, the group entered)*

Kenai: Now, if you need anything, me and my brother's servants will attend to you.

Tommy: (Whispering) Dinner. Invite the girls and their friends to dinner.

*(Kenai cleared his throat a bit)*

Kenai: You will…. Join me and my brother for dinner. *(Growls)* That's not a request!

*(He looked at the little Demon Bear to say something)*

Little Demon Bear: (Quickly) So enjoy your stay!

*(With that, Kenai slammed the door shut as Merida gasped. She and Paula looked worried. After that, Merida and Paula flopped down on the bed and began to cry while Kayley, Garrett, and Ayden looked down in sadness as it began snowing outside)*

***Coming up: Clayton and Seifer are cheered up over their humiliating rejection and then Fergus and Elinor, despite being dubbed crazy by Clayton and Seifer's followers in the village, try to convince everyone to go help them rescue Merida, Paula, and their friends. Back at the castle, Kenai temperamentally tries to get Merida's group to come down and have dinner with him and his brother.***
