Summary: He had to find the pattern.
Spoilers: none, pre-series
Notes/Warnings: My first Charlie fic! I dedicate this fic to the two squirrels who live outside the window of my bedroom. I have affectionately named them Piggy and Twiggy. Piggy and Twiggy put a smile on my face when I was working on my dissertation and they continue to entertain me. They, along with the little friends that often come to play, inspired this drabble. Enjoy. :)
