I am not using scottish accent because if i did, no-one would understand anything from what they're saying, just imagine it there if you want.

A door opened and a little girl ran immediately upstairs. She peeked inside every room until she found the one she was looking for.

"Mummy, daddy, can I have this room?!"

Her parents appeared on the doorway.

"Well, I don't know, what do you think, dear?" she asked, looking at her husband.

"I am not sure-.." he managed to say, until the little girl stopped him and said;

"Please please please please pleeeease". She looked at her parents while jumping in her place.

Her parents looked at each other a bit confused, but then they smiled and turned to look at their daughter.

"I promise to keep it clean!" the little girl cried, her parents nodded and her face turned much brighter. She did her small happy dance, hugged her parents and ran back downstairs to get her things while repeating happily: "Thank you thank you thank you!"

The woman smiled and watched her fiery red-haired daughter to disappear behind the corner. The man chortled while tapping his wife's bum.

"Fergus!" the woman screamed while Fergus just laughed even more.

"Ach, c'mon Elinor, don't be so grumpy!" he said, watching his wife lovingly.

"I am not! Now, let's go to unpack our stuff, shall we?"

"Yea yea…" Fergus said and followed Elinor to downstairs while their daughter was already heading upstairs again.

"Hey, be careful lassie!" Fergus said after her.

"Yes, dad!" the girl let out and took her stuff in the room she had just been given.

She was about to get more stuff from downstairs when she noticed something in the corner of her eye. She walked to the window, opened it and looked out. There was a house right next to theirs, and there was possibly only one to two meters between them. She looked down and there was this some sort of a terrace under her window, she couldn't wonder but why. Then she noticed that there was the same thing coming out from the other building too.

"Hey-" someone said and the girl squeaked from the surprise.

"Whoa, easy there-…" the voice said again, and this time she turned to look at the person.

It was a boy, perhaps same age as her, or year older, she wasn't sure. He had brown hair, little freckles and eyes blue as the sky, and they were watching her, confused.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"Mum said that I'm not supposed to talk to strangers…" she said, backing up from the window.

"I'm no stranger, I'm your new neighbor. Nice accent by the way." the boy said, smiling at her.

She was about to answer but then she heard more familiar voice, her mother.

"Sweetie, who are you talking to?" Elinor asked from the doorway.

"To that b-", she looked back at the window, but the boy wasn't there anymore. "No-one, mum."

"Well go get the rest of your stuff, there is still lots of work to do." she smiled at her and walked past the room.

Later that day, when they've stopped unpacking, the little girl was sitting in her room, drawing a horse, which she thought was turning out really well. She looked at it, satisfied, when suddenly she noticed the boy across the window again. She stood up and went to the window that she left open earlier.

"Hey!"

The boy turned to look at her. The girl had a messy red hair, freckles, more than him actually, and deep blue eyes, almost like his. She was now looking at him.

"Where did you go earlier?" she asked and it made him chuckle,

"I thought that you weren't supposed to talk to strangers?" he said and grinned.

"Well that's just what my mum told me to say if I meet someone I don't know." she said a bit embarrassed.

The boy looked at her a bit amused.

"I needed to go to do stuff… So, you just moved here, eh?" he said and he was now sitting on the windowsill.

"Aye! From Scotland, it's really far away from here…" she said, suddenly looking down. She just realized how she missed her old home and friends.

"Your way to talk is funny." the boy said, and she protested.

"No it's not! Yours is!"

There was a moment of silence and then they both cracked up laughing.

"I'm Jack" the boy said.

"And I'm Merida" she said, smiling.

They stayed up for a few hours, talking about various things. As the sun set down they wished goodnight.
