A/N: Well, folks, here's the next story. Now, you're all probably gonna ask questions about things so let me get that out of the way. This story will be another family reunion, but I haven't received any message regarding Ryder's real name. Because of that, I'll be starting the story like I planned. If someone thinks something needs to be changed in the story, send me a PM regarding that as well as anything you want to discuss with me and we'll discuss the problem. Regardless, enjoy.


It was early morning in Pennsylvania and it was quite usual busy day. On the North side of town was a house, where lived a 15-year old girl with her parents. The girl's name was Jessica and she woke up with a yawn. She got out of bed, tidied up her room, got dressed and went downstairs to the living room, where her parents were waiting.

"Good morning, Jessica." Her father, Ethan greeted.

"Morning, dad." She replied.

"Why are you up so early, sweetheart?" Jessica's mother, Ella asked.

"I need to do some shopping for our supplies." As soon as Jessica said that, Ella looked at the fridge and face palmed.

"Of course, we're almost out of food. Alright, Jessica, you do that while your father and I are at work. Remember, we'll be back in 8 hours." She replied before both walked out of the house. As soon as their car was out of Jessica's earshot, she prepared to go to the store.

I sure wish I wasn't the only child in my family. I wish my brother was still alive. She thought as she walked outside. But, little did she know, her wish was about to come true soon.

Meanwhile, at the East entrance of Pennsylvania, 6 hours after Ethan and Ella went to work, the PAW Patroller was rushing through town, carrying the current PAW Patrol pups: 7 original and 5 new members.

About 15 minutes of driving later, they stopped at the parking lot of the shopping centre in the middle of town.

"Alright, pups, while Chase, Rocky and I look for a hotel that allows dogs, you can go look around town. Don't get lost out there." Ryder instructed.

"You got it, Ryder." The pups replied and they scattered while Chase and Rocky remained with Ryder.

"I really needed the vacation, Ryder. Doing 5 emergencies in one day tired me out." Rocky replied.

"I agree with him, Ryder, sir. I barely managed to drive myself home after herding those cows." Chase pointed out.

"I think so too, pups. Yesterday was the busiest day ever. But, enough talk, let's find a hotel." Ryder said.

Chase and Rocky nodded as they followed Ryder.


Jessica just finished all her chores around the house before walking out of the house, where she saw her parents arriving.

"Hi, Jessica, is everything in order?" Ethan asked.

"Sure is, dad. I took care of everything. Now, I'm going out, see ya later." Jessica said.

"Okay, sweetheart, be safe." Ella said.

"I will. Bye." Jessica waved before walking off. After 10 minutes of walking, she arrived at the park for dogs, where she loved watching dogs play. Sometimes, seeing dogs coming with owners made her want a dog as well. Then suddenly, she heard some voices and turned to see a group of dogs playing with each other while 2 older dogs were watching them.

Interesting. These dogs don't have owners close by. Maybe they don't need them close by. She thought.

"Gotcha!" Shouted a Dalmatian before he fell face first in the ground. "Or not."

Jessica's mouth dropped. Since when dogs can talk?! She thought, not believing what she heard. A minute later, she began thinking about what just happened while watching the dogs.

That's impossible. Dogs can't talk. They never could. But they do. She was so deep in thought that she didn't see a certain Dalmatian tripping and rolling towards her until…

"Lookout!" Upon hearing the voice, she turned around to see the dog rolling towards her. She knelt down and held out her arms, ready to catch him, which she did, but the force of the impact sent them both on the ground.

"T-Thanks, nice catch." The Dalmatian replied before jumping off the girl.

The girl stood up and smiled. "No problem."

"Marshall!" The two turned to see Everest, Zuma and Skye running towards them, with Miranda and Linda close behind. "Are you alright?" Everest asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Luckily, this girl caught me." Marshall said as he pointed to a 15-year old girl. After they got through the introductions, and after 15 minutes of playing, chasing and licking, Jessica decided to take them all to see her home, but only Zuma and Skye accepted. The others went to explore the town. But not even a minute before they reached the house, Jessica got a call.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Jessica, call for help!" Ethan shouted, causing the pups to jump in fright so much that Zuma accidently activated his collar, so their owner heard everything.

"Dad, what happened?" Jessica asked in worry.

"Your mother and I are trapped in a burning house, look!" As he said that, he turned the phone. Jessica gasped as she saw all the furniture, all her stuff, everything burning. She didn't even hear a whisper over Zuma's pup-tag.

"I'll call the fire station, hold on!" Jessica shouted before ending the call. But before she could dial the firefighters…

"PAW Patrol, to the PAW Patroller!" Shouted a voice through the pup-tags.

"Ryder needs us!" Skye shouted, running off while Zuma waited with Jessica in front of the burning house. Upon hearing what Skye said, Jessica froze in shock.

Ryder? But that's a surname! And me and my parents have it! There's no way someone's called that! She thought as she dialed the firefighters. However, she has no idea who was coming.


A/N: And here it is. Everything seems normal until the fire breaks out and Jessica's parents are in trouble. Can the PAW Patrol save them before it's too late? Find out next time.
