'What the heck happened back there?' Nathan thought to himself. He stopped and felt his stomach when it growled.
Nathan managed to relocate the rock he ate lunch at yesterday. He sat back down and began eating again; however he ate slowly this time, he was hoping the fawn would show up.
To his excitement the fawn showed up again. The fawn was quicker in it's movement towards Nathan; It was still cautious though.
Nathan pulled out his crackers again and offered him one. This time the fawn ate the whole thing.
"Thanks," he heard the fawn say delightfully.
"Oh, no problem," he responded.
It took the two a second to realize what had just occurred.
"Ah!" the two screamed backing away from each other. Both were breathing heavily.
"That didn't just happen!" Nathan said loudly. His breathing returned to normal "Yeah, that's it; I'm back at home, sleeping peacefully."
Suddenly Thumper, Faline and Flower came through some bushes.
"Bambi is something wrong? We heard screaming," Faline asked. She then noticed the man and took a step back. His mouth was open in disbelief; then he fell backwards.
"Is he alright?"
"I'm not sure, he looks alive,"
"Hey, he's waking up, be quiet,"
Nathan opened his eyes and looked upwards. He saw two deer, a rabbit and a skunk staring back at him. He slowly got into a sitting position; the other animals backed up.
"Are you okay?" Bambi asked him. Nathan nodded.
"Could one of you do me a favor?" he asked.
They all looked at each other before looking back at him.
"I need of you to hit me,"
"What? Why?" Faline asked.
"Just do it," he insisted.
Thumper stepped forward out of the animals and landed on Nathan's leg. He repeated hit Nathan's leg with his own. He stopped after a few seconds.
"Well?" Thumper asked.
"I'm not dreaming," Nathan said emotionlessly. He got up and began jumping excitedly "I'm not dreaming! Woo-hoo!"
The other animals looked at him curiously. They shrugged and joined in his dance.
Not too far away, the Great Prince watched the entire thing with a small smile on his face. Friend Owl perched himself on branch nearby "So why did you do it?" he turned to him "I figured it was the least I could do for him. He enjoys this place so much and now I made more with his while." Friend Owl nodded "Hmm I see, it also looks like it helped the young prince," The Great Prince looked over at the group. He saw the look on Bambi's face; he had made a new friend.
