Third Person POV

As Bambi, Jeanette, Flower, and Thumper crossed the fallen log bridge, someone was spying on them through some tall grass. Then, rustling could be heard before a strange animal poked its head through a hidden opening in the fallen log.

"See? There's nothing to it!" Thumper said to Bambi, "All it takes is one good grrr!"

Just then, the animal, a Porcupine, jumped out from his hiding place in the log, scaring the four friends! "PORCUPINE!" Bambi, Jeanette, Thumper, and Flower all screamed in unison before running away on the log.

The Porcupine chased them and angrily yelled, "Get out and stay out, you tresspassin' hooligans! Tracking muddy paws!" He grumbled and then walked away on the log.

The four friends poked their heads from behind the tall grass, and Flower suggested, "Well, we can always swim across."

"Uh-oh!" Thumper said as he pointed something out; everyone looked to see the Great Prince walking down from the top of a hill.

"Oh, he's gonna kill us for disobeying him!" Jeanette muttered with a gulp as she looked at the big buck.

"Let's go before he sees you!" Flower said as he and Thumper crept away.

"No, this is it!" said Bambi, getting his friends' attention, "I can show my dad how brave I am!"

"I'll help you!" Jeanette said as she put her paw on Bambi's front leg.

"You better hurry!" Flower said as he pointed to the Great Prince walking away.

Bambi's POV

I nervously watched my father walking away, and then I looked at my friends. "Don't worry!" Thumper said, "I'll go take care of your dad!"

Flower just shrugged, while Jeanette looked at me with determination.

"And remember what I taught ya!" Thumper added as he hopped upon some stones in the water, "Grrr!"

"Don't worry!" Jeanette softly called to him as she and I walked along the fallen log. "We've got this!"

Thumper winked and hopped away, while I gulped nervously.

"It's okay, Bambi," Jeanette said to me gently, "Now's the right time!"

I puffed my chest out and marched towards the Porcupine. "I'm gonna march across this log!" I said to him before giving a bleat.

"Yeah!" Jeanette added sternly, "You need to learn to share once in a while, mister!"

"Get off my property, you pesky squirrels!" the Porcupine ordered us.

Jeanette became angry as she growled, "What did you say?"

"I-I'm not a squirrel!" I shot back, trying my best to be brave, "I'm the Young Prince!"

"So, here, you will refer to him as 'your highness'!" Jeanette added.

As we tried getting across, the Porcupine kept blocking our way. "Ha! Where you goin', princey?" the Porcupine taunted us, "Ha, ha, ha! Not this way! Try again!"

"Out of our way, cactus-boy!" Jeanette snarled, "I've got a loaded set of teeth, and I'm not afraid to use 'em! I'm a fox on the edge!"

Third Person POV

In the meantime, Thumper arrived to the place where the Great Prince was standing and cried out, "Help! Help!" He ran to the big deer and breathed, "There was this thing, and he's got these EYES, and these claws like, GRRR! And he walks around like this!" Thumper made some charades to describe the Porcupine to the Great Prince before finishing, "And YOU GOTTA SEE!"

The rabbit ran off, leaving the Great Prince speechless of what was going on.

"Well, COME ON!" Thumper demanded to the big deer before hopping away.

The Great Prince sighed and reluctantly followed Thumper.

At the fallen log, the Porcupine was still taunting Bambi and Jeanette. "You don't understand!" Bambi pleaded, "We HAVE to get across!"

"So, step aside, bozo!" Jeanette yelled as she bared her teeth at the Porcupine.

"Then go around!" the Porcupine ordered, "Back in my day, we didn't just wander around willy-nilly onto someone's property! We took the long way! Sometimes two days, weeks – in the pouring rain! 'Cause we had a little thing called 'respect!'"

Jeanette, meanwhile, whispered something to Bambi, and then the fawn jumped right over the Porcupine!

"Bambi, you did it!" Flower called to his friend with glee.

"Oh, you did it, alright!" the Porcupine cursed as he moved his back and got his sharp quills ready.

"What do you think YOU'RE doing?" Jeanette asked with a glare.

"Stand back, foxy-loxy!" the Porcupine snarled at her, "Or your muzzle is gonna resemble a pine tree!"

The Porcupine then chased after Bambi across the log; the fawn looked back and saw Jeanette following him, but no Porcupine. Soon, the Porcupine burst from under the hidden opening of the log and cackled, "Here I am!"

Bambi ran in the opposite direction as the Porcupine cleverly hid himself into the log again and popped up as he cackled, "Here I am again!"

The chase between Bambi and the Porcupine continued as Thumper tried showing the Great Prince where the "trouble" was. "Hurry up – it's right in here!" the gray bunny insisted as he moved back a bush. He saw Bambi running away from the Porcupine and gasped before nervously smiling, "Oops! Wrong one! Nothing here!"

Meanwhile, the Porcupine ran under Bambi's belly, and then tripped backward and got stuck in the log by his quills!

Jeanette laughed at the spiny rodent and smirked, "Serves you right, you putrid pincushion!" She then bared her sharp teeth and threatened, "Now I'm gonna see how good porcupine meat tastes!"

This made the Porcupine very angry as he popped up from his mishap (taking a piece of log on his quills) and growled at the fawn and the fox. Bambi ran off and tripped over a piece of log, which sent the Porcupine up in the air like a seesaw effect.

Jeanette looked up and gasped when she saw the Porcupine break his quills free from the bark, and then she jumped into the water just as the mean rodent landed himself onto Bambi's rear, making the little fawn scream and fall into the water.

Now, that scream was heard all the way to where the Great Prince and Thumper were searching, and the big buck asked, "What was that?"

"I didn't hear anything!" Thumper nervously lied as he tired making the Great Prince walk away, "Probably a bird! Yeah, yeah! That's it! A bird…" His sentence was cut off when the big buck walked away from him to see what was going on. "Oh no!" Thumper gasped.

Meanwhile, Bambi and Jeanette were both in the water as the Porcupine cackled to them, "That'll teach you two! Think twice before you come trespassing around here again!"

"SHUT UP, YOU S.O.B.!" Jeanette roared at the rodent, "Mark my words! Someday, you'll PAY for this! You can't have ALL the forest!"

Bambi soon saw his father walking by, and then pulled Jeanette under the water's surface with him. The tadpoles growled to each other while Jeanette and Bambi tried holding their breaths.

The Great Prince looked over at the fallen log and saw the Porcupine curse, "That's the problem with these kids today! No respect, no respect at all!" He looked at the Great Prince and asked, "What're you looking at, you big moose?" Then, the spiny rodent closed his log opening.

The Great Prince cleared his throat and glared at Thumper, who just chuckled nervously and ran away. Then, the big buck sighed with frustration and moved on.

Bambi and Jeanette then resurfaced and coughed a bit. "That stupid, overgrown hedgehog!" Jeanette cursed as she and Bambi got out of the water, "One of these days, I'll bring my father over with his…"

"Bambi! Jeanette!" Flower cried as he and Thumper approached their friends, "Are you two okay?"

"Oh, how's it look?" Bambi asked as he showed them his quill-ridden behind.

"Oh, man!" Jeanette gasped, "Bambi, you need those pulled out! But believe me, it'll hurt me to this than it will hurt you when they come out!"

"Ewww!" Thumper said as he and Flower looked at Bambi in shock and disgust, "I'm not gonna lie to ya – it ain't purdy!"

"It's hopeless!" Bambi said with defeat, "I'm a coward!"

"No, you're brave!" Thumper insisted as he pulled a quill out of Bambi, making the fawn yelp with pain.

"Thumper, uh, maybe I should help?" Jeanette suggested.

"No one's EVER gotten that far across before!" Thumper said as he and Jeanette pulled the quills out from Bambi's rear.
