We then move right to see Cricket sleeping in his hammock, the morning sun shining in from the window. As the sunlight shines on his face, he immediately wakes up with a smile

A rooster can be seen perched on a window, preparing to crow

He takes a deep breath, but just before he can start, Cricket's face, exhibiting an expression of pure joy, appears out of nowhere at the window

He very excited

Cricket: Cock-a-doodle-doo! Today's the day!

He jumps off his dresser and stands on his room's floor, arms outstretched as he continues to be excited

He very excited

Cricket: Today's the day!

He close up of Cricket and Baraka's calendar, showing a red circle on the second Wednesday of the month, with arrows pointing at it and exclamation marks next o It, with an inscription that says "THE DAY" with an underlining and an exclamation mark

He appears next to it, his hands on the calendar, still super excited

He very excited

Cricket: Today's the day!

The camera moves back to show us the room's interior and the bunk beds, with the top bunk holding a sleeping Tilly

He jumps up and pulls her down, blanket and all, to share with her the exciting news. As he says this, Tilly is dazed, having just woken up

He very excited, arms outstretched

Cricket: Tilly! Today's the day!

He jumps over her and laughs hysterically as he runs out the room

She left alone and still dazed from her abrupt awakening, rolls over to her side, covering herself again with the blanket

She tired

Tilly: Fire more minutes.

He opening Bill's bedroom door

Cricket: Dad, wake up!

He leaps onto Bill, who is sleeping in his bed

He startled, also having just barely woken up

Bill: Cricket! What in the world??!

Cricket: Today's the day! Today's the day! Today's the day!!

He runs outside, gasping excitedly

He groaning

Bill: Oh!

He is now in his clothes

He sneaks up on Phoenix, who is sleeping in her doghouse

Cricket: Today's the day.

He pokes Phoenix on the eyes; her right eye open

He patting the family cow, Miss Brenda

Cricket: Today's the day!

She moo's

He enter the kitchen, and pouring a coffee how he finally has peaceful and quiet

Baraka: Finally...

Baraka: Like I said, peaceful an--

Cricket: Baraka. Today's the day!

Baraka: What!

He pouring a coffee in pant but is still hot

Baraka: Ahhh!
