Chapter 1

Bambi was having a bad day. Faline was yelling at him for losing Sam and Amy, when  earlier that day Bambi went to his father's funeral. The day couldn't get any worse.

   "It's all your fault!" Faline shouted at him. " I told you to keep an eye on them, now we have no idea where they are! I'm beside myself!" What if they don't come back? What will we do? How..." Faline was cut off as Amy and Sam walked into the den, rushing straight to their father.

   "There, you see? I told that they would come back!" Bambi yelled back. "What do you think, they don't have legs? I've trained them to be the smartest fawns in the forest..."

   "You've trained them?" Faline snorted. "Oh, so your the one who taught them to walk, your the one who taught them about the dangers of the meadow, your the one who kept them alive in the winter, and your the one who keeps them safe are you?"

   "One," Bambi snapped. "they learnt how to walk themselves, two, I kept the meadow clear for you three, three, I was looking after all the deer in winter, not just you, and four, yes I do keep them safe I keep everyone safe! Did you have to put up with your mother being killed as a child? No. Did you have to have a father who nearly gave you away? No. Did you have to put up with being nearly killed multiple times as a kid so your life was a nightmare? Again, NO YOU DIDN'T!!!"

   "That's it!" Shouted Faline. "I can't take this anymore. We are getting divorced and I'll take care of the kids."

   So, the next morning, Bambi had them divorced and decided what to do with the children. Sam went with Bambi, and Amy went with Faline. Bambi was wrong. The day could get worse.

   Thing's were no better with Ronno. His wife, Amanda, was arguing with Ronno about food. Rachel and George were hiding behind Ronno.

   "Look, for the last time I went out looking for food!" Ronno shouted. "I did not abandon you to look after the kids, I went looking for food, heard the dogs, and tried to fight them off!"

   "Alright, Ronno, I've had it up to here with your excuses, we're getting divorced!" Yelled Amanda. "You are not fit to be a parent."

   So the same day, Bambi had to arrange another divorce and finally managed to figure out that Ronno should take care of the kids. This, thought Bambi, is going to be a long week.

Chapter 2

It had been a week since Bambi and Faline were separated, and Sam was starting to miss his older sister. He kept moaning to go visit her, but Bambi knew that if he gave way, he and Faline would argue. So he stood his ground. And he wouldn't budge.

   Over the days, Ronno had started to think about Bambi. He had heard about the divorcement and started to get excited. Ronno remembered his childhood. His behavior had put off a lot of deer so he never had a true friend. He had never had a crush ether, until the day he met Bambi and Faline. Ronno had hoped to have a true friend when he saw Bambi, but then he hoped for more. He wanted Bambi all to himself, and was jealous of Faline. But they had gotten the wrong idea. They thought that he loved Faline. But he didn't. Ronno loved Bambi. All that showing off was to impress Bambi. When they were adults, Ronno had fought Bambi to take Faline to a place where he could kill her. It was all for Bambi all along. Ronno had one last chance to get Bambi. And he wasn't about to lose it. Ronno set off to find Bambi.

   Bambi was starting to get lonely. He started to think about Ronno. Bambi had no choice. Ronno wouldn't get out of his mind. Bambi decided it was time to pay Ronno a visit. Bambi strolled passed the groundhog's burrow and remembered when he first met Ronno. He marched passed the porcupine's log and remembered when Ronno chased him. And Bambi walked up to where he and Faline had kissed as children, and remembered many things about Ronno. Giving up, Bambi sat down on the grass and watched his fawns play. Little did Bambi know that he was being watched.

   Ronno was secretly watching Bambi from behind the bushes, and remembered Bambi's wedding. Ronno wasn't sure if he was invited, but went anyway, and hid at the back, plotting how to get rid of Faline. Until he saw how happy Bambi was. That warm, loving smile, Ronno just couldn't do it. If Faline made Bambi happy, then Ronno was prepared to leave them in peace and forget his plan. For Bambi. And for Bambi only. Ronno could still see him now, sat down, watching the fawns play, wait a minute, there wasn't any fawns at the wedding, so that couldn't be his eyes playing tricks on him, that was... BAMBI!

   Bambi saw Ronno charge up to him and was forced to get up. Secretly, he was glad to see Ronno. Bambi didn't know why, he just was. He walked over to Ronno and smiled. Bambi could see that Ronno was excited to see him, too.

   Ronno was eager to talk to Bambi for the first time in years. So eager, in fact, that for a few seconds he couldn't speak. But Ronno soon controlled his body. Nothing would stop him from leaving this place without Bambi all to himself.

   "Hi Ronno!" Bambi shouted over to Ronno, still smiling. Ronno shouted "Hi" back and charged over to him even faster. They started talking about several things to catch up, when Ronno suddenly stopped. He needed a few moments to think about how to put his confession.

   "Bambi," Ronno began, taking a deep breath. "What made you fall in love with Faline? I mean, something must have triggered it, and who would you get with? I mean, a prince needs a partner, right? Also, would you get with someone you knew?"

   Bambi was a little curious at why Ronno would ask, but did ponder a bit at the first question. Why did he fall in love with Faline? Maybe it was that kiss. Just that one kiss. As children. It had messed with his brain, making him think that he loved Faline. But he didn't. It was false love. Fake love. The only question was, who did he really love, then?

   "I don't know, Ronno." Bambi sighed. "I think it was the kiss as children that made me believe I loved her, and I probably would get with someone, though who I don't know, and I don't think I could get with someone I know, I only know Faline and you. I would probably have to find another doe..."

   "Oh, OK." Ronno replied, sighing. He should have known. Bambi would never be his now. All of his dreams, gone, his hopes, crushed and destroyed before his very eyes. It was Faline. Faline. Ronno hated her with all of his heart. She had made Bambi like does. If she had just left him alone for a little longer as kids, Bambi would be Ronno's. And Ronno would have never let him go. If Ronno hadn't promised to himself that he wouldn't leave where he was without Bambi all to himself, he would have looked for Faline and killed her. And anyone else who stood in his way. But it was too late.

   Bambi looked into Ronno's eyes and reflected back to his childhood. Looking back, even when Ronno was angry, the truth was all there in his eyes. So desperate to please him, so desperate to get Faline out of the way so he could keep Bambi all to himself. Bambi and Ronno may have grown older, but Bambi was still looking into the same eyes as when they were kids. Just so desperate. For Bambi. But it was impossible, Bambi knew that he had to find a doe. His father would never forgive Bambi if he fell in love with a stag. But his father was dead, there was nothing he could do to stop Bambi... Bambi was confused and frustrated with trying to figure out what to do. So, he just backed away into the shadows, taking Sam to watch over the meadow.

Chapter 3

   At the meadow, Bambi scanned his eyes over the field when his eyes were drawn to something. There was a doe watching her fawn play. Bambi just had to hope that Faline didn't spot him. Bambi was concentrating so much on Faline that he didn't notice that crows began to fly over them until they  began to cry. Bambi bounded over to the deer with Sam and got their attention. All around him there were  fleeing animals so desperate to get to safety. Bambi also noticed Faline and Amy fleeing. Bambi checked to make sure there was no one else then rushed to get Faline, Sam and Amy to safety. Bambi managed to get the two fawns to safety, but a terrible shot rang out through the trees and landed on Faline's
