Anyways, Enjoy!

11:00am :Sunday

The world as we know it. It's full of secrets kept hidden far from the human/pup of those secrets are best kept hidden. Some are meant to be found. And others… who knows! Could be in your own house. But most of the times, in your thoughts. Speaking of thoughts, it's almost afternoon. Marshall had been sleeping in over the past few months thinking about the same pup over and over and over again. And that special pup was known as Everest. Three weeks after she joined the team, Marshall started falling for her. And every time she came by, Marshall would always want to be the first one to say hi. After 2 hours of sleeping in, Chase finally came to his pup house to wake him up. "Wake up…." He whispered.

"Wake up already." Chase repeated himself over and over again as Marshall whispered.

"But, I don't wanna go to school…"

"What? Get up already! Are you going to say goodbye to everyone or not?!" he barked.

"W-wha?"

"We're leaving right now!"

"Oh! Okay I'm coming." Marshall yawned while getting out of his pup house and running to the Paw Patroller along with Chase.

"There they are!" Zuma yelled pointing at Marshall and Chase running to the side of the bus where Ryder was standing.

"Hey pups." Ryder began.

"Good morning Ryder. You guys are leaving already?" Marshall whimpered.

"Well, you did sleep in a little too late. It's already 11 am." Chase explained.

"Oh, you can't blame me! I love sleeping in."

"You and me both!" Rubble laughed almost falling asleep on the grass.

"I'm going to go wait in the bus." Chase said. "Good luck guys!"

"Thanks again for volunteering to take care of Zuma and Rubble."

"You're welcome! But I got one question. Does Rocky know you guys are going on the private boat?"

"Shhh, he does not need to know that… yet…" Ryder whispered.

"Oh right. Forgot about that."

"I can take his spot if he changes his mind!" Zuma whimpered wanting to come along."

"Sorry Zuma. Next year, we can all go on one. But for now, you and Rubble are still too young to join the tournament.

(Don't make any comments about that plz)

"Oh fine. At least tell me how swimming goes. Please?"

"I will send you a picture. Anyways, if any type of emergency happens, Katie's number is on the fridge."

"I have a question Wyder, how did you get her number?" Zuma asked.

"That is not important…"He replied while getting on the PAW patroller as Zuma gave him a "really, that's it?" look.

"Take care you guys! Remember! 2 weeks at midnight!" Chase yelled.

"W-Wha? Oh! Bye guys!" Rubble yawned while getting off the grass.

"Bye!" Chase, Rocky, Skye, And Ryder waved as the bus drove over the bridge.

"Wyder is hiding something. I can tell!" Zuma barked while jumping around.

"Let it go Zuma." Marshall laughed patting his back.

"You know, we haven't played pup boogie in a while…" Rubble stated.

"And Skye isn't here to hog the TV with Chase…" Zuma added.

"You wanna play pup pup boogie against me Zuma?" Marshall asked excited.

"Wait wait wait, you can't just say, 'you wanna play against me', you have to make it sound extreme!" Rubble howled.

"Extreme? Okay, how about this," Marshall said pulling out a tree branch out of a tree and pointing it at Zuma.

"I challenge you to a pup pup boogie dual!" Marshall yelled loud enough to echo.

"Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!" Rubble howled.

"Challenge accepted!" Zuma smiled grabbing the branch and breaking it in half. " Come on! Let's go! Best way to start a day!" he howled holding onto Marshall and running into the lookout along with Rubble.

2:30 pm

"Gentleman! We have a pretty intense fight going on here. The scoreboard still remains 5-5 wins for both Marshall and Zuma! Who is going to win? Who is going to lose? Where are the snacks?!" Rubble howled being a fake commentator. "Uh Oh! Now here comes another…"

"Tailspin!" Marshall and Zuma shouted as they both started spinning on their tails."

"The tie breaker! Whoever falls off loses the match and the winner is declared." Rubble explained.

Marshall and Zuma stayed spinning for almost 10 minutes. Until Marshall's tail finally gave out and collapsed.

"Yay! I win!" Zuma howled.

"And there you have it folks! Zuma is the winner with 5-6!" Rubble yelled.

"Darn! We should have had a bet." Zuma said standing on a chair. Then, the doorbell rang.

"Oh! Someone is at the door!" he barked.

"Ok. You guys stay up here while I'll go check." Marshall said going down to the bottom of the lookout. They both arrived at the door where a certain pup was waiting for him. And when Marshall opened the door, he most of his breath leave his body and all of the sudden shaking a little bit.

"E-Everest?" Marshall whispered out of breath. 'Keep your cool Marshall!'

"Hi Marshall!" She smiled.

"Wh-what are you doing here?"

"Jake is at a meeting for two weeks and he left me home alone so, is it okay if I stay with you guys till he comes back? Because I really am not looking forward to staying by myself for that long."

"Umm... Sure! I don't blame ya for that." Marshall said wagging his tail. 'Well, Ryder didn't say anything about having guest…'

"Thanks Marshall! Can you come help me get my stuff?"

"Sure thing!" Marshall smiled. But before he could walk out...

"Hey Mawshall, Who is down-" Zuma yelled from the top of the lookout until him and Rubble spotted Everest.

"Everest!" They both yelled running down from the lookout.

"Zuma! Rubble!" She yelled as they both jumped on her.

"Wow! When was the last time we've seen you?" Rubble asked.

"You haven't changed a bit!" Zuma stated as they both continued overwhelming Everest with statements as Marshall kept staring at her.

"Aww." He said back in his thoughts.

"Marshall…" was the only thing that echoed in his mind for 2 minutes straight until suddenly.

"Marshall!" Everest shouted as he got out of his trance.

"W-what? Oh sorry! Just thinking about someone. I mean! Something!" Marshall shouted turning slightly pink.

"Where are the rest of the pups?" Everest asked.

"They went on a private cruise ship for a pup tournament all the way across the state for two weeks. I would have come along but, one, I wouldn't even wake up on time, and two, one pup had to stay behind and watch Zuma and Rubble. Of course, Ryder takes this as babysitting, but for me, I consider it as personal training."

"And he chose you?"

"No. I volunteered to stay behind. Cause I'm pretty sure I probably would have messed up at least one thing if I was there." Marshall laughed a little bit.

"Aww. You can't be that bad." Everest said as Zuma and Rubble looked at her.

"Ummm, you are aware who you are talking to… wight?"

"Yeah! The clumsy one out of all of us." Rubble added.

"The klutz."

"The-"

"All right! We get it already! I mess up a lot of things. Next topic please?" Marshall growled.

"Okay! Okay! Gosh." Zuma whimpered while stepping back a little.

"Well, let's get this first week started!" Everest howled. "And I guess I can help you watch Zuma and Rubble if you don't mind."

"Nope! I don't mind at all." Marshall smiled.

4:50 PM

After finishing getting Everest's stuff inside the lookout, the pups went back to the top of the lookout to relax.

"I'm going to go look for a tree." Everest said going back down the lookout.

"Okay!" They all replied.

"Woo hoo! Back to more gaming!" Zuma howled while wagging his tail. "Are we going to finish playing pup pup boogie or not?"

"Umm actually, I think we're done playing for the day. Maybe tomorrow?" Marshall sighed.

"Aww why not?" Rubble whimpered.

"Remember last time you ate food and started instantly exercising "

"Oh right… Biggest mistake of my life. Well, so far." Rubble laughed.

"Oh well. TV time!" Zuma smiled.

"Umm, actually, I think you to should probably… umm how do I say this… go… away for a little bit?" Marshall suggested as Rubble and Zuma gave him a confused stare.

"W-Why? What did we do?" Rubble whimpered.

"N-Nothing. It's just that you guys need to-" Marshall tried to explain until Zuma started smiling.

"Oooh! I see what's going on here!" Zuma whispered with excitement as Marshall became confused.

"What? I don't get it!" Rubble whimpered. Then Zuma whispered what he thought in his ear.

"Oh! That makes sense!"

"What makes sense?" Marshall said confused.

"Ok Marshall, we will go outside and play for a little bit." Zuma laughed with an eye wink.

"Wubble go get the beach ball. We will be in the grass if you need us."

"Okay!" Rubble laughed while running out of the lookout.

"Good luck Marshall. Tell us if she says yes or not." Zuma whispered in Marshall's ear. It took 3 seconds to realize what he meant and then his face turned a little red.

"W-wait! Th-That's not why I wanted you guys to-" Marshall tried to explain but Zuma was already out of the lookout.

"Oh geez…" Marshall sighed while rubbing his head as Everest comes back up.

"What were you guys talking about up here?" She asked.

"Nothing important…" Marshall said trying to hide his blush.

"Okay…?" Everest said a little confused. "Well, are we going to watch TV or not? Cause I'm pretty sure I can beat you in pup boogie too."

"I would play but my tail is literally still numb from the last round." Marshall whined.

"TV it is." Everest smiled.

(10 minutes later)

The room seemed silent. Even with the Tv on at half volume. The tension in the room was getting worse every time one of them tried to talk to each other.

(Marshall's thoughts)

Wow! This so far sucks! I can't even talk to her without thinking something is going to go wrong. There has to be a way to break this silence up…. Anything...

Normal POV

The silence continued for 5 more minutes until Everest finally decided to start a conversation.

"So… how is it going between you and the rest of the pups?" She asked.

"Fine I guess. I mean, two days ago, I did a fake gun fight with Chase, Skye, and Rocky

"And how did that go?"

"Skye got me by surprise.." Marshall sighed. "The point of the game was to reach your base without getting hit by a spitball. If you were the only one standing or if you reached your base, you win. And apparently, she ended up reaching her base by tricking Chase into letting her get past."

"Wow. That sounds interesting. Anything else?"

"Well, me and Chase ended up getting in a argument yesterday which went to wrestling which then went to water balloon fighting which then ended up as more horseplaying. In fact, the water balloons are still right there. In that corner. Well, at least the extras." Marshall explained while getting up and looking out the window where he saw Zuma and Rubble playing with the beach ball in the grass.

"It must be fun playing around like that everyday." Everest sighed as she got up and followed him.

"What? You don't do a little horseplaying with Jake?"

"Well I did only once. It was fun and stuff till he got tired and went to sleep. I've always wanted .to do it again but, I've never got into one of those random moments ever since then." Everest explained.

"I guess it sort of just happens. I haven't thought of one time I've asked for someone to just randomly chase me." Marshall stated.

"You know, Ryder could have brought you guys along." Everest stated.

"Yeah but I'm pretty sure the only reason he didn't want us to come is because he didn't want to pay for more animals." Marshall joked. "But could you blame him if that was the case?"

"Ha! No not really. I probably would do the same when I have pups of my own." Everest admitted.

"Yeah me too!"

"Wow." Everest sighed again. The TV was the only thing that was heard for a moment. Then, Marshall went over to try a jalapeno popper on the snack table.

"Mmmm." He groaned. "Everest you gotta try this!" He suggested holding another one.

"No I'm fine." She said.

"Oh come on! It's good!" He said getting closer to her as she backed up a little.

"No don't force me!" She yelled laughing a little.

"You know you want ittt!" Marshall smiled.

"Okay okay okay! I'll try it!' She said grabbing the popper out of Marshall's paw and threw it in her mouth.

"Hmm.. taste fine. A little spicy" She answered. "I bet you can't eat 6 in a row without complaining." She dared.

"Challenge accepted." Marshall agreed as he grabbed six poppers and shoved them in his mouth.

"Now where are those water balloons?" Everest thought to herself looking around as Marshall tried his best not to whine. And once she found them, she grabbed one and walked back to Marshall.

"So.. How does it feel?" She laughed a little bit while looking at his face.

"Ok! It's hot! It's hot!" He shouted while running around in place.

"Try one of these!" Everest yelled while throwing the water balloon straight for his face.

"Ahh!" Marshall screamed a little shocked as Everest just fell down laughing.

"Oh my gosh! You should see your face Marshall! I should have got this on camera!"

Marshall felt a little stupid for falling for that trick. But, since Everest wanted to have a little fun, he decided 'why not?'

"Hey Everest?" He smiled.

"Yeah?" She said still laughing. Which stopped after Marshall threw a colder water balloon on her.

"Oh!" She gasped as Marshall started laughing.

"Oooooh! Now it's on!" Everest smiled as she went over to Chase's leftover water balloons and started throwing them in Marshall's direction.

"Oh no!" He yelled running over to his own stack of balloons. They stayed throwing water balloons for 15 minutes until they both ran out. The floor was wet. Mostly slippery. But they didn't care.

"Catch me if you can!" Everest howled while running out of her hiding spot.

"Oh you're on!" Marshall said chasing her.

"You're too slow!" She mocked as Marshall kept going after her.

5:30 PM

Marshall was already tired of chasing Everest for a while. But Everest still had loads of energy. And she couldn't help but give him a hard time.

"Come on Marshall! I'm right here!" She shouted standing near the wall. Marshall couldn't help but laugh a little bit.

'She won't see it coming !' Marshall thought to himself.
"Come on Marshy!" She laughed while moving around in that same spot. That's when Marshall began to charge very fast near her. But before he could reach, Everest moved out of the way really fast and caused Marshall's head to hit the wall and make a loud thumping sound.

"Marshall!" Everest gasped. "Oh no! Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. But what did I just hit?" He asked while looking at what was supposed to be a wall.

"Umm… I don't think this is a wall. "She said looking around the surface. And then noticing a small lock on it.

"Hey Marshall! I found a lock!"

"What?" He said confused.

"It looks like this is a hidden door that leads to somewhere." Everest guessed.

"The lock needs a key though." Marshall added.
"Oh please. I got this." Everest said holding a pick.
"You know how to pick locks?" Marshall asked surprised.

"Yeah. Jake told me earlier. You never know when this can come in handy."

"Well, maybe you can teach me sometime?"

"Sure! But most likely after Jake comes back. Cause if I teach you, it most likely won't end well.

"Why not?"

"That's personal. I got it open." Everest informed as she stuck the needle back in her beanie and later pulling the hidden door open.

"Whoa!" Marshall gasped while looking inside.

"This is totally not a hidden room. It's more like a secret entrance!" Everest said. And as soon as she said that, Zuma and Rubble rushed upstairs to the sound of creaking.

"Hey! What's going on up here?" Rubble asked worried.

"Take a look!" Marshall said as they all stared in the door.

"Whoa! A hidden passage!" Zuma said as his voice echoed across that hallway.

"Let's go in it!" He shouted before Marshall stopped him.

"Hold on! Don't get too ahead of yourself Zuma. Nobody is going in there. It doesn't look safe." Marshall said holding Zuma back.
"Awww.." He whined.

"Oh come on Marshall we have to explore it. What are the odds of finding a hidden door inside your house?" Everest asked.

"Umm… I don't know... The last thing I want is for someone to get hurt..." Marshall said while rubbing the back of his head.
"Please? Come on! Chase use to explore caves with Jake all the time! This shouldn't be any different from that. Well, except this is in doors, but still!" Everest said.

"Oh geez… what would Chase do….?" Marshall thought.

"Okay, fine. We'll explore in there for only 25 minutes."

"Yes!" The rest of them howled.

"But first! We need our pup packs incase something goes wrong."

"Good call." Rubble said.

"I'll wait over here." Everest said already wearing her pup pack. After getting their pup packs on along with their uniform. They went back to meet up with Everest.

"I'll still never understand how that elevator works…" Everest sighed.

"You'll figure out." Zuma told her.
"Okay. Stay close and don't go wandering off." Marshall said walking in first as the rest of them followed.

"Wow! This place is very bright! For a cave..." Rubble said looking around. "How far down do you think this place could be?"

"Maybe 300 feet?" Zuma guessed.

"How come Ryder didn't see the door this whole time?" Everest questioned.

"I'm guessing it was suppose to be hidden for a reason. That's probably why.. " Rubble answered. They walked straight for the past 5 minutes until Zuma spotted a window with light coming from what was through it.

"Whoa! Guys check this out!" Zuma barked as the rest followed him.

"Lava?!" They all shouted.

"How far did we go?" Everest asked.

"Umm, are we still in the lookout or the middle of a hidden volcano?" Rubble said worried.

"I don't think so. But you have to admit, this is a pretty good view!" Zuma said still staring down.

"So… do you guys want to keep going or turn around?" Marshall questioned.

"Well, it hasn't been 25 minutes yet... I wanna see if we can find some hidden treasure!" Rubble barked.

"Fine, a few more minutes."

"Hey Marshall…?" Everest whispered nervously.

"Yeah whats wrong?"

"Umm, I think we have a problem…" She said moving away from a pushed down button. As soon as she moved away, the whole place started shaking. And rocks began to fall from the way that they came from.

"Oh dog biscuits..." Marshall groaned. "They are headed this way! RUN!" He yelled as they all started running for their lives.

"I'm too young to die!" Zuma cried. The group continued to run down the path for a long time until they stopped at a dead end.

"Crap! Now what?!" Rubble whimpered.

"Ummm… I don't know! Why did I decide to keep going?!" Marshall cried.

"So this is the end?" Everest asked worried.

"I…. I…..I don't know!" Marshall stammered to speak as the rocks were getting closer and closer. Then all of the sudden, cracks start appearing on the ground that they were standing on.
"Umm… Is it me, or is the floor-" Zuma tried to speak until the ground broke into small rock pieces. Leading them all the fall from about nearly 150 ft in the air.

"AHHHH!" They all screamed until darkness took its part.

To Be Continued.
