Well hello! Here is a new chapter of The Forest's Princess-fanfiction, where Clarice explores the forest with her mother. See you in the next chapter.
A few days after her birth, Clarice walked behind Tinker Bell in the forest, still getting used to her new legs. They were hard to walk on at first and even shook a bit as Calrice walked on her new legs.
"This is probably because I'm still getting used to using my new legs. Before I met the Blue Fairy, I had only walked on two legs, but now I have to get used to walking on four legs. However, I really appreciate the gift that the Blue Fairy gave me, because it saved me in my previous home about the fire that happened", Clarice thought.
It was quiet in the forest, and the weather was sunny.
"Already walking. Messy", Squirrel eating an acorn on a branch of a tree said to a chipmunk, when he saw Clarice walking.
"Morning", Mother Quail said to Tinker Bell after stopping with her chicks to Tinker Bell's left.
"Morning, Mrs. Quail", Tinker Bell said after stopping.
"And where is the little princess this morning?" Mrs. Quail asked.
Tinker Bell looked at Clarice, then continued walking.
"Aaaah! Good morning, little princess!" Mrs. Quail said after seeing the little princess, and walking with her chicks in front of Clarice.
"Morning, little princess!" The quail chicks said, and followed their mother into the thicket on the right side of the road.
"Goodbye!" One baby quail said to the princess after coming out of the bush, and then walked back into the bush.
Clarice smiled, and continued to follow her mother.
"Good morning, little princess", Someone said behind Clarice, causing Clarice to turn left to see a family of possums hanging by their tails from a branch of a tree.
"Good morning, little princess!" The baby possums said to Clarice.
Clarice smiled, and nodded to the Possum family to follow her mother.
Suddenly, the mole dug out from under the ground, and then looked at the princess:
"Morning. Hmm. Beautiful day". Then mole then continued digging in the ground.
After walking for a while in the forest, Clarice saw Thumper, and Thumper's family eating flowers and other plants, so Clarice walked near Thumper, and saw Tinker Bell looking at Clarice.
After walking for a while, Clarice tripped at the base of a tree. As a result, Tinker Bell and Thumper walked with his family towards Clarice.
"What's wrong?! What happened?!" The Thumper's sisters asked looking at the princess. "Did it hurt?!"
"Stumbled princess?" The Thumper asked while Tinker Bell licked Clarice's head lightly.
"Heh! It's okay", Tinker Bell said after checking her daughter's condition.
"The princess doesn't walk very well yet", Thumper said to Tinker Bell.
"Thumper!" The Thumper's mother said.
"Yes, mother?" The Thumper asked embarrassed as the Thumper's ears lowered.
"What did your father say to you this morning?" Thumper's mother asked.
"If you can't say something nice, don't say anything", Thumper said.
"Well, Clarice. Get up. Try", Tinker Bell said, walking a little further back.
"Well then! Try!"
"Get up!" The Thumper, and his sisters shouted, and Clarice stood up and walked with the Thumper and his sisters to the right.
"I know what will happen to mother in the future as a result of the hunter's actions. As a result, I have to start early on eating everything a deer could eat to stay alive. And I'm not going to complain about the taste of that food in any way. I'm not going to ask my father to get me food's, or act against dad's wishes by walking right into a trap set by a Hunter so dad doesn't ask Friend owl to find me an adoptive mother", Clarice concluded. Then Clarice remembered how sad The Great Prince of the Forest looked always in Bambi 2 -movie, when The Great Prince of the Forest's wife was mentioned. "Or maybe I could change the situation a bit, and prevent dad from becoming sad about what would happen to mom by trying thu stay with mother away from the meadow, and protecting mom by avoiding going to the meadow, unless it was absolutely necessary?"
Clarice ran forward with Thumper and Thumper's sisters until she stopped at the edge of a small hill, which Thumper and her sisters easily lowered down to the ground below that hill. Clarice placed her hoof carefully on the edge of the hill, then slid down the slope to the grass.
Clarice smiled, then ran Thumper and his siblings over to the Hollow log that Thumper was drumming with his left hind leg.
"I i drum like this, and that's why I'm called the Thumper", Thumper said.
"Thumper!" The echo from inside the log startled Thumper a little, causing Thumper to take a step back from the logs.
"Thumper!" Thumper shouted, looking at the logs.
"Thumper!" The inside of the log echoed again, as a result of which Thumper and the others ran inside the log, and out the other end to see another fallen tree a short distance away.
"Jump! Yes you can! I saw it!" Thumper sets an example with his siblings.
Clarice nodded, stepped back, then ran towards the fallen tree, effortlessly jumping to the other side of the fallen tree, landing lightly on the grass.
"Well jumped. If you hone your jumping skills, you'll definitely be able to jump over long ravines", Thumper said.
Clarice smiled.
Stir stir! Clarice looked at the birds eating the berries growing on the branch of a nearby tree, and then Clarice walked with Thumper, and Thumper's sisters in front of that tree to get a closer look at the birds. It felt strange to experience this situation for herself, as opposed to reading about it in a book, and watching it in a movie, but Clarice thought she would get used to it.
Then the birds stopped eating, and looked at Clarice curiously.
"Those are birds", Thumper said, looking at the princess.
"Oh yeah. In this situation, Bambi tried to speak for the first time", Clarice remembered that, and opened her mouth to say something, but the word Clarice said was unclear:
"Bi".
"The princess is trying to talk. Say bird", Thumper said, jumping on the dwarf that had grown into the trunk of the tree in front of him to speak to me properly.
The birds flew around the princess while the Thumper's sisters jumped curiously around Clarice.
"Bi…bi", Clarice said.
"Say now. Say bird", Thumper said.
"Bird!" Clarice suddenly screamed, causing the rabbits to fall to the ground, and the birds flew to the side in surprise.
"The princess said the bird!" Thumper was delighted.
Clarice smiled, it felt good to be able to talk again after being turned into a the fawn of a deer's fawn. Clarise then looked at her mother who smiled at Clarice.
"Clarice said bird!" Thumper shouted, running with the sisters to Tinker Bell, and Thumper's mother, who were standing near the tree that Clarice had crossed earlier.
"Bird! Bird! Bird!" Clarice smiled. Then he saw a pinkish butterfly, whose wings in addition to red had yellow, and blue color flying in front of him.
Clarice followed the butterfly behind a tree, and when the butterfly stopped, the butterfly landed on Clarice's tail, and Clarice looked back at the butterfly:
"Bird".
"It's not a bird. It's a butterfly", Thumper said.
"Butterfly", Clarice said, then looked again at the butterfly that had flown away. "Butterfly..."
Clarice looked around, and then saw a big, yellow flower on the ground, among other flowers:
"Butterfly!"
Then Clarice ran towards the small field of flowers, looking closer at its biggest flower.
"Well, well, princess. It's a flower", Thumper said.
"Flower?" Clarice asked. Actually, he knew it was a flower, but he still couldn't say more than a few words.
"Yes. And it's beautiful", Thumper sniffed the flowers.
"Beautiful", Clarice said, and as she sniffed the flowers, a skunk emerged, whose nose Clarice had just hit with her own nose. Clarice immediately recognized the skunk in question as Bambi's second friend:
"Flower".
The Skunk was surprised, and asked:
"We?"
Thumper started to laugh, then collapsed onto the rock below:
"Hah hah! No no no. That it's not a flower. She's a little..."
Skunk intervened in the situation:
"Oh, it's okay. He can call me Flower if he wants. I don't care".
"Beautiful Flower", Clarice Whispered to Flower.
"Haha gosh", Flower blushed.
Clarice started eating flowers and grass, and she could feel someone other than Tinker Bell watching Clarice from afar. Clarice quickly glanced over at a nearby mountain to see her father standing there, but pretended not to see her father.
"So you've already thought about it, that one day I'll be the queen of this forest", Claricea thought as she continued to eat. "Do you think that I have some kind of potential to be the queen of our forest, possibly The Great Princess of the Forest?"
(In the evening)
Clarice walked with Thumper, and her mother in the forest.
Huh! Thunder rumbled, causing Clarice, and Thumper to look around nervously.
"Now I have to go home", Thumper left the place.
Clarice followed her mother into the cave, and laid down next to her mother on the ground.
They were sleeping when Clarice heard raindrops.
Clarice watched the raindrops fall to the ground, and it actually sounded a bit like music as some of the animals rushed to their homes for shelter from the approaching storm.
"At this point Bambi-movie was a beautiful song", Clarice thought, thinking about the words of the song(Little April Shower lyrics):
"Drip, drip, drop
Little April shower
Beating a tune
As you fall all around".
The number of raindrops gradually increased, and the air became slightly colder at the same time.
"Drip, drip, drop
Little April shower
What can compare
To your beautiful sound
Beautiful sound
Beautiful sound
Drip, drop, drip, drop".
The little princess looked at the rain, and the falls that appeared near her mother's cave were curious.
"Drip, drip, drop
When the sky is cloudy
Your pretty music
Will brighten the day".
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the forest seemed peaceful.
"Drip, drip, drop
When the sky is cloudy
You come along with a song right away
Come with your beautiful music".
The air got a little colder, and Clarice felt like she was waiting for something.
"Drip, drip drop
Little April shower
Beating a tune
As you fall all around".
Clarice's mother looked up at the sky.
"Drip, drip drop
Little April shower
What can compare with your beautiful sound".
Clarice tried to sleep, even though she knew what would happen tonight at some point.
"Drip, drip drop
When the sky is cloudy
You come along, come along with your pretty little song".
Clarice concentrated on listening to the music that the sound of raindrops seemed to make so that Clarice could sleep.
"Drip, drip drop
When the sky is cloudy
You come along, come along with your pretty little song".
The rain got stronger.
"Gay little roundelay
Song of the rainy day
How I love to hear your patter
Pretty little pitter-patter
Helter-skelter when you pelter
Troubles always seem to scatter".
Clarice opened her eyes and looked around.
"Drip, drip drop
Little April shower
Beating a tune
As you fall all around".
Everyone, in their homes, and the awake animals watched the rain.
"Drip, drip drop
Little April shower
What can compare with your beautiful sound".(I found this sning this page:
Bambi (OST) - Little April Shower 1942
lyrics. I do not own the rights to that song or that page.)
Then suddenly ️boom ️it startled Clarice's.
"Mom!" Clarice was startled, and pressed more against Tinker Bell.
Tinker Bell looked at her daughter:
"There's no need to be afraid. Clarice, that sound is lightning, and until now Lightning has frightened every animal in our forest, except the weather".
Clarice nodded, then fell asleep.
