[The season is Orangemoon, the scene the Deep Forest in the dead of night. Two vampire pigeons, known simply as the dumb one and the mean one, who, despite their names, share these traits equally, are hungry for a meal. They have successfully stolen a mysterious egg from its unattended nest, but are now struggling to transport it back to their home so they might feast.]

"Ugh, this thing is heavier than it looks."
"Talking about how heavy it is doesn't make it any lighter, now push!"
"You want me to push it? Oh, I'll push it!"
"Watch out!"

[The egg slips from beneath the wing of the dumb one and begins to tumble down a hill. Flustered, the mean one flies down to catch it, but a rock has already broken its fall. The dumb one flies down and tries to bite the egg, but instead chips a fang. The egg seems to have turned to stone as a form of protection.]

"Ow!"
"Great, look at it now. You ruined it!
"Well I'm not the one who decided to eat out, am I?
"Don't turn this one around on me!"
"Why not? It would probably still be happily nested with its mother right now if you hadn't gotten a hankering for a gourmet snack."
"Quiet! What if someone hears you?"
"Oh, right, like its mother is going to track us down and kill us for stealing her kid and turning it into a rock."
"...that sounds exactly what an angry mother would do, you featherbrain! Now shut up and help me move this, maybe we can fix it when we get it back to the den."

[The two begin to push against the stone egg in vain, it is far too heavy to move with a simple push. In the distance, there is a yowl and a rustling of leaves. The vampire pigeons both turn at the sound.]

"Uh-oh... you don't think..."
"You're kidding yourself. We were really, really sneaky. I don't think she saw us."
"Well, all I know is there's no way we're going to be able to move this. It's solid as a rock."
"It is a rock you idiot!"
"Well, rock or egg, there's no way we can move this on our own."
