It was now officially the first day of spring. It was just after sunrise, when the dew was still fresh on the grass, the sky was a brilliant shade of blue, and the promise of warmth hangs in the air.

The First Robin of Spring fluttered onto a branch of one of the few trees that graced the immense lawn. He looked around at the empty yard and puffed up his red breast proudly. He was the first one here.

*Worms, worms, worms.* he thought.

"Tweet, tweet, tweet," is what he said.

He jumped off the branch and floated to the ground. Almost immediately, he found a worm and quickly devoured it. The First Robin of Spring hopped about a bit, surveying his surroundings. Finding them to be satisfactorily devoid of all dangers he began calling to his fellows who had hung back in the surrounding woods until they were sure it was safe.

"Tweet, tweet, tweet. Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet."

"SHUTUP!" a gruff voice called from somewhere above. Everything went silent.

Because birds don't understand English and are notoriously stupid, the silence didn't last long.

"Tweet?" chirped The First Robin of Spring. He looked around the lawn again, but still could not see any sign of danger. Since his brain was half the size of a peanut, he quickly forgot about the threat.

*Worms, worms, worms.* he thought again, happily. He started calling to the other birds again, letting them know that it was safe to come out.

"Tweet, tweet. Tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet," he said. The other birds were about to join him....

"Tweet, tweet, twee-"

BOOM!

When The First Robin of Spring exploded. All that was left was a scorched black circle in the middle of the previously perfect lawn. All of the birds in the woods flew away.

"That's better," Vegeta grumbled, shutting the second-floor window again. He crawled back in bed, drew the covers over his head, and went back to sleep.

It was many days before spring cautiously returned to Capsule Corp. And even then, no birds dared to make a sound before 10 AM lest they join their predecessor.
