The next morning was a bit confusing. When Charlie Brown woke up he was surprised to see Woodstock was there.
"Well he was sad and probably lonely." He thought. "But I'm surprised he stayed. Sure people spend time with me, but they have a limit with me."
He kept pondering this. While he did he watched Woodstock sleep. The feathers around his eyes and his wings were still stained with tears. His crying had stopped during the night and he was breathing normally. Unlike last night where he was practically sobbing, cuddled next to-...
"Wait! Why am I most surprised by those things! He actually hugged me! No one ever really hugs me. But then again...he was sad...maybe it was just desperation to hug someone."
Woodstock woke up and stretched. He looked around the room remembering last night. He flapped his wings and landed on Charlie Brown's head.
"Good morning Woodstock. Want me to open the window so you can get out?" Charlie Brown asked. Woodstock shook his head once. Then pointed to his stomach. "Oh you're hungry."
Charlie Brown walked to the kitchen with Woodstock on his head. He poured some cereal. Woodstock thought it looked good and picked up a few pieces with his beak and ate some.
"Good grief!" Charlie Brown sighed, realizing he lost his breakfast. Woodstock flew out of the window and came back with a worm. Charlie Brown frowned when he put it in front of him. Woodstock saw his look of disgust and ate the worm himself. Charlie Brown was too grossed out to keep eating.
He decided to go outside. To his surprise Woodstock followed him.
"He's probably still desperate for company." Charlie Brown thought. So he sat down and sighed. He still missed Snoopy.
Woodstock did too, but he was preoccupied. He was gathering sticks and flying back to a tree branch. Charlie Brown watched him doing it and decided to see what he was doing. He climbed the tree too see . It wasn't much; Just a rough outline of a nest.
"I thought only female birds made nests." Charlie Brown told Woodstock. Woodstock scowled at him for a moment before going to find more sticks. Charlie Brown watched him make his nest. "You know..it's interesting being up close watching a bird make a nest."
Woodstock tweeted in reply.
"I wish I knew what you were saying.." Charlie Brown confessed.
