Bambi, trembling and wet, is trotting with her fawn friends at a quick pace to the comfortable, warm, Grand Oak, because it recently began pouring in the Eirest Green. Bambi starts to pant, and quickens her pace. Nobody speaks in the cold.
Bambi is rather disappointed that her fun running and playing in the forest had to be ruined by the thundering rain, but that is the way of the world, and she is looking forward to cuddling with all of her friends....
Bambi nears the ancient Grand Oak, slows, and walks into the warm darkness. She sits, heat flowing through her cold, shivering body. She is content, huddling together with other animals as the rain thunders outside. Bambi fears the bolts of flashing lightning and hides her head in a fawn friend's side.

Sully was walking through the forest when he felt the rain coming down. He started to run through a path and comes up to the Grand Oak. He goes inside and is surprised to see three fawns already inside.

Bambi was hearing the trudging footsteps of some creature. She heard them reach the Grand Oak, getting nearer and nearer. However, Bambi fears nothing in the Eirest Green.
Bambi hears the creature come into the Eirest Green, and feels its presence wash into the area. She looks up from her fawn friend's side, surprised to see them both asleep, and stares into the eyes of a new fawn.
"Hello," she says uncertainly but nicely.

Sully was taken aback by the sight of the fawns and when he heard one of them greet him he didn't know what to say. He hadn't talk to any fawns since he himself were a fawn.
"Hey," replied Sully, the only reply he could think of.

Renton was having a good meal of berries from a berry bush growing in the forest until he heard thunder giving low rumbles in the sky, and tiny droplets of rain began to fall. "Uh-oh," he said to himself after he gulped down a few chewed berries. "I better find shelter, and quick." Then he raced around the forest until he could find a place big enough for him to be in for a short while.
Then he spotted the Grand Oak, and he trotted up to it to peak inside. "Is there any room to let me in?" he said into the entrance, but then he noticed a buck, a fawn and several creatures already in the Grand Oak. "Oh, sorry. I didn't realize that there was already someone in here. If there isn't any more room, I understand. I can go find another place to cover myself from the rain." Then he started to leave.

Sully saw a buck enter the Grand Oak. The buck looked around and he said he would go if there wasn't enough room. Sully looked as the buck started to leave and said, "Hey! Come back! There is enough room here. I don't want you to go back out into the rain."

Renton pricked his ears up to hear the buck in the Grand Oak speak to him. He turned around and asked, "Really? Well, thanks." He smiled and proceeded to enter the Grand Oak and try to get himself comfortable by sitting down on the ground. He had hopes that his big size wouldn't cause any discomfort for everyone in the Grand Oak while they protected themselves from the rain.

Bambi had been listening as the buck and the other deer were conversing. In a way, she was still stunned at the deer, who she now knew was named Sully, who had replied to her.
"Um, hi, Sully," she says, a bit more at ease, and then turns to Renton and apologizes, "Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude. Make yourself comfortable!"
Bambi then looks at her friends and shakes her head. They are content in deep slumber.

"Oh, it's quite alright," said Renton. "I just wasn't sure how accepting all of you would be when it comes to everyone rushing for cover from the heavy rain. It seems to me that you're all a nice bunch. Thanks again." He smiled and then looked out of the Grand Oak to watch the rain fall.

Bambi saw the nice deer look out at the rain and watch it fall. She smiled. Renton gave her a nice, warm feeling inside. Heat seemed to blossom inside of her as she stood and joined Renton.
"So, Renton and Sully," she said. "Tell me about yourselves. I mean, how did you make it here to the Eirest Green?"

Renton turned his head to Bambi and heard her question. He replied by saying, "Oh, my story's sort of long, but I'll keep it short. When I was very young, my mother had passed on during my first winter, and I didn't have a father to raise me, so by springtime, I decided to go on a journey by myself to find a better place to live in. I was on the journey for a very long time, and then I stumbled upon here in Eirest Green and found that everyone here is very nice, so that's when I decided to make this place my new home."

Bambi was surprised that her story was similar Renton's.
"Wow!" she replied, but then remembered to keep her voice down. Her friends were still sleeping. She continued in a whisper, "We're rather similar. My mother, Janira, and my father, Felon, had me in a forest called-"
Bambi stopped and frowned. She couldn't remember what it was called; her memory had faded so much. Well, maybe it would come to her later.
Bambi continued, remembering to keep her voice hushed, "But then my father went out to collect nuts for me. Shortly after, my mother and I started to smell smoke. Then, we started to see blazing fire in the distance of the forest. All of the other animals were alerted. We all ran in the other direction, and waited for my father for several days. That's when we figured that my father had perished in the fire. We were so sad..."
A wave of despair washed over Bambi as she told this part of the tale. She mentally shook of the sadness and continued to Renton softly, "So we traveled with the same herd of our animal friends through the land. My mother raised me for a long time, oh how I loved her! But then one morning we woke up and had some berries. She had been looking at me with pain in her eyes all day, but I didn't ask what was wrong. Eventually she said that she wanted to go out for a little while. She wandered away, and never came back."
A lump formed in Bambi's throat, but she tried to swallow it away. Tears gathered in the corner of her eyes as it hit her, as it did several times every month, that she was parentless.
"I went wandering for a while," she continued. "I left the herd of animals - my only friends - to go somewhere else, somewhere else that hadn't caused me so much pain and misery... one day, starving and parched from traveling through a barren land, I arrived at the Clear Springs. I collapsed there and slept, oh how I slept!"
Bambi shook her head as she remembered the memory.
"When I woke up, I was in a beautiful, warm, peaceful forest with fresh, cool water flowing in front of me. I remember crying in joy and drinking all of the water! Then I found a berry bush and a piule of nuts, and ate to my heart's content! Then I started to meet all of the nice animals here. I made friends, and the sorrow at my parents' absence started to melt away. I've been here ever since."
Bambi let her words hang in the air. She had told her tale to few people, and had honored by Renton by telling it to him. She hoped he would understand her better after this.

Renton listened to Bambi's story carefully and looked at her for a moment, thinking about how amazing it was that she had gone through all that at her age. "Wow. That's quite a story." He smiled at her.
Then a flash of lightning brightened and darked within a short second, and after a few seconds had passed, the roaring sound of thunder rolled throughout the forest. Renton didn't react too much to the thunder, for it rumbled gradually instead of sharply. A quick and loud thundercrash would surprise him out of his wits, but this wasn't the case. He simply felt calm about the gentle rumble and continued to look out into the forest and watch the rain fall.

Sully didn't really want to talk about himself. He went to a spot and decided to lay down. He was quite exhausted.

Bambi nodded and tried to smile slightly after Renton said, "Wow. That's quite a story", and smiled at her. But her mind was lost in the details of her troubled past.
Bambi focused her thoughts on remembering the name of the forest she was born in, but she couldn't. Then a roaring burst of thunder sent her jolting out of her thoughts. The suddenness of the thunder startled her, and she lay down and buried her head into the ground as it rumbled throughout the Eirest Green.
