Menawhile a group of foraging animals woke up from Hibernation. Led by Verne the turtle, the animals include Hammy the squirrel, Stella the skunk, Lou and Penny the porcupine parents, along with their triplets Bucky,Spike & Quillo, Ozzie the oppossum and his daughterHeather.
The Family Awakes[]
Verne: Wow! [sees a beautiful view of the forest. The flowers bloom and the dragonflies flew pass Verne] Spring. That means there's only 274 days left till Winter. [inside the log with autumn leaves] Everybody wake up! Hibernation's over!
Hammy: [pops out of the leaves] Oh, morning!
Verne: Morning, Hammy.
Hammy: I gotta go wee-wee! [zips off]
Verne: Oh, not at the Lake we drink from! [to the others] Let's go! All right, the rest of you, it's spring! That means we gotta get to work!
Hammy: [zips back to Verne] Finished. Oh! Oh! Wait! [zips off again]
Verne: [becoming impatient] Come on, everybody! Wake up! Don't make me come in here.
Stella: Y'all better listen. I've been holding something in all Winter, and I'm about to let it out! [the other animals pops out of the leaves quickly. Stella holds her firing position]
Verne: [grateful and politely] Thank you, Stella.
Stella: Oh, I can clear the room, Verne. Come on. That much I can do.
Lou: Good morning, everyone. Just a super-duper morning, eh?
Penny: Oh, Jeepers!
Lou: Whoa! Not so good round the eyes there, Honey.
Penny: Bucky and Quillo woke up every 3 or 4 weeks, and Spike kept poking me.
Lou: Yeah, well he is kinda pokey.
Penny: Yep, he sure is the sharpest of the bunch there.
Lou: You know what? How about I take the day shift?
Penny: Oh, Lou, that would be just super.
Lou: All right, Kids. You heard your Mother and now you listen to me. Shape up there. [the Porcupine Triplets playfully tackles Lou]
Verne: [picks up over-left berries] Oh boy. This is what I'm afraid of.
Hammy: [energetic] Where's the food? It's there any food left? I'm really hungry, so it's there any food left there, huh?!
Heather: We ate all the food, Hammy, during the Winter? So we're just about get some more now.
Hammy: Oh, right! I buried my nuts in the woods. I know where they are. I'll be right back. Bye!
[Hammy zips off. A drop of snow from the branch falls on Ozzie's head. He gasps and plays dead. The Triplets laughed at Ozzie]
Heather: [chuckles nervously] Dad, it's just snow?
Ozzie: But it could've been the Predator.
Heather: Isn't playing dead a little... weak?
Ozzie: Heather, how many times have I been saying? Playing Possum is what we do. We die, so that we live.
Lou: [trying to stick his kids on his quills] Kids, I'm the boss of you, okay? So just calm down.
Penny: [to Stella] This is what we need to find you this year, don't you know? A good fella.
Stella: A good fella? A Good Fella?!
Penny: Oh, Jeepers, here we go.
Stella: Why does everyone think I need a man, huh? I look like a nest and smell like a swamp. So when you find a fella who is decent, good with kids and has no sense of smell, call me.
[Meanwhile, Hammy is looking for his nuts around the forest. But suddeny, a big shadow approaches him. Hammy gasps, and looks up shaking in fear]
