AN: So during my last Zuma's Fear chapter I said I would do a romance one shot, but the problem was that I got so many requests I didn't know what to do. In the end, I decided to make something that tagged every romance I thought worked well for the pups. This is a series of small one shots (No smaller then 1000 words) focusing on different parings. They're not linked to each other just so you know and each of them is a different paring and idea. As for the next chapter of Zuma's Fear, I am working on it now.

First up is Marshall x Skye.

Disclaimer: I don't own Paw Patrol

Even taking out the factor that he was a dalmatian, Marshall knew he was more energetic then most of the other pups. One might have mistaken him for being the youngest of the bunch, but the truth was he was the oldest. Well, he and Chase were only a month apart on their birthdays but it still counted. Marshall wasn't much of a patient pup unless it had something to do with his duties as a Paw Patroler. It was a necessary trait to have when you're trained to rescue people from fires and high places. Still, if he really willed himself, Marshall could stay still if it was important to him.

And these night meetings he and Skye had three times a week were. Raising his ear as well as one eyelid, he heard four loud snores from his friends that indicated only two pups were not asleep. Carefully crawling out of his pup house, he made his way toward the drive way which would lead to the pier they had in their front yard.

His heart pounded every time he dashed forward with his paws gracing the green grass for a second before shooting him off further towards his destination. When he made it to the small hill, overlooking the pier, he saw a single pup their and his heart fluttered upon seeing her fur shine in the moonlight. He could look at her a hundred times every day and never get tired of seeing it.

So focused he was on the pup in front of him that he failed to watch his footing and stumbled. He was about to yell when he remembered that everyone else of the Lookout was asleep. Holding his muzzle, he muttered an occasional "ouch" or "eep" as he rolled down the hill. He didn't stop until he was right by the peir, where a small giggle made him look up at the cockapoo that gave him a sweet smile. "Marshall, do you always have to make a grand entrance?"

Grinning, Marshall jumped up and kissed his secret girlfriend on the nose. "Only if it makes you smile, Skye."

"Oh, it does," she whispered a she leaned closer and nuzzled him. "It really does."

She licked his cheek which made him turn even redder then the firetruck he drove. If he could get any hotter he would have melted into a warm puddle of goo. He wanted another, but decided to walk over to the edge of the pier and sit beside her, watching the stars; just like they had done for about four months now.

He didn't know how his secret crush on her started, but all Marshall knew was that Skye was unlike any pup he had ever known. She was brave, graceful, fun, and kind. He always did his best to a make her smile and laugh; it was the best feeling in the world to see her do so. Skye was always the first to play with Marshall if his best friend, Chase, was busy. And she never once made fun of him for being clumsy or say a sarcastic remark about him unlike what some of the others did.

That's why it pained him when Chase always talked to him about how much he adored Skye for the same reasons, and often dreamed of finally telling her how he felt. Despite hurting much, Marshall supported his best friends and his feelings.

And how here I am with the girl of our dreams who loves me instead of him, thought Marshall with a sad sigh.

"What's wrong, Marshall?" asked Skye, looking concerned.

"I was just thinking about Chase… and what would happen if he ever found out," whispered Marshall, whimpering.

Skye nodded before looking into the water with an equally sad look on her face. "He probably would be… devastated…" She shook her head and looked at her love with gentle eyes. "I'm sorry…"

"For what?" asked Marshall.

"For confessing to you… maybe I should have kept my mouth shut," said Skye, whimpering.

Marshall would never forget that night for as long as he lived. He had gotten up from a bad dream only to hear a soft voice singing in the night sky. He followed it to where he saw Skye on the pier and began to sing with her. She was startled but neither of them stopped. They just stared at each other, singing, underneath the moon. When it was over she had kissed him and he felt like he had flown over a rainbow and found a pot of gold.

And he's never regretted that night since, even at the idea that he had just betrayed his best friend. Still, she loves me. She has always loved me, not Chase. I just wish… I just wish… He didn't know what to wish. That Chase would find a new crush? That he didn't fall in love with Skye and she with him? Love was so great if any of the wonderful nights he had shared with Skye had taught him that. However, it could be so painful.

Marshall walked over to Skye and gentle raised her head before sticking out his lounge and crossing his eyes. The sight of it made her laugh, erasing that frown she had. Ending the funny face, Marshall chuckled and nuzzled Skye on the cheek. "I like it better when you smile. And don't ever apologize for this. The heart knows what it wants and I want you, do you want me?"

"I've always wanted you," whispered Skye as she leaned in and kissed him on the lips. Marshall closed his eyes as he pressed his own lips forward, tasting Skye's sweet taste as every fiber of his body was filled with more energy than Rocky's energy drink. To this day, Zuma wasn't allowed to touch it after he got crazy and stole that ice cream truck before crashing it into the bay.

The kiss soon ended, but soon both of them yawned. "I guess it's time to go to bed, huh?" asked Marshall.

"Yeah," said Skye as she began to make her way towards the dog house, only to get stopped when Marshall put a paw on her shoulder.

"Skye… one day we'll tell them… all of them," said Marshall. "And no matter what happens I won't stop loving you. One day I'll take you on a real day without any hidden secrets."

"I know," whispered Skye as she continued on her way.
