Snoopy knocked on Schroeder's door and waited. He heard footsteps coming, and the door opened. Schroeder was standing there, looking down.
"What do you want?"
Snoopy held out a card. On it, Lucy was written. Schroeder took the card and opened it. After reading it for a moment. he looked down at Snoopy.
"Lucy wants to talk to me at the lake?"
Snoopy nodded and skipped away.
So far, so good.
"Schroeder wants me to meet him?" Lucy's eyes widened in surprise.
Snoopy smiled and nodded.
"Where?" she asked giddily. Snoopy pointed to the playground that was nearby the lake where she was supposed to meet Schroeder.
"OMG!" she screamed. "He's forgiven me!"
She jumped and began running outside, even though she wasn't wearing shoes and was probably going to get blisters. She ran across the street and didn't bother to check to see if she was on the designated crosswalk, which she wasn't. Snoopy ran after her, hoping to see what was happening.
Snoopy couldn't hear what they were saying, but based on what he was seeing, Lucy was clearly angry. Her fists were curled, and her teeth appeared to be clenched. Schroeder's back was turned to him, so he couldn't tell what his face looked like. His hands were in his pockets, and he seemed to be looking down. All of a sudden, Lucy pulled Schroeder toward her and there was a loud smack.
That just said everything Snoopy needed to know.
By the time he got back to his doghouse, Snoopy was panting like crazy, his tongue sticking out, and Woodstock was sitting on top of the red roof, with a yellow female bird.
Snoopy bit his lip. How could he have forgotten?
Woodstock finished off. Snoopy looked up.
So Woodstock found a date? Great. It was at the doghouse. Okay, then.
