A/N: Hi, folks. I'm starting another story in chronological order. Read, review and enjoy.
SOMEONE HAS A CRUSH
It's a hot summer day in Adventure bay and the pups were at the beach swimming, playing in the sand and resting. It's been 5 weeks since Zen reunited with her family and Chief stared at her whenever he saw her. He seemed to be blushing each time she approaches him to talk. Although he had to cover what he was doing so no one would know about it. It was almost no difference today, except this time, a paw on his shoulder startled him. He turned around and saw his brother.
"Phew, it's just you, Chase." He replied, relieved.
"Sorry, bro. I didn't mean to scare you. What are you looking at?" Chase asked.
As soon as he asked that, Chief pointed at Zen with his paw. Chase looked past him and smirked.
"Don't tell me. You have a crush on Skye's sister?" He asked.
Chief blushed upon hearing that. He actually got caught in the act. He sighed.
"Yeah, I do. I just don't know if she feels the same." Chief said shyly.
"Well, why don't you tell her?"
"I, uh… I'm a little nervous." Chief stuttered. Just then, Chase wrapped his right paw around his brother.
"You'll never know how she feels if you don't try. Besides, do you think I was braver than you are?" Chase asked.
Chief's jaw dropped. "What? You were just as nervous as I am right now?" He asked in shock.
Chase shook his head. "Even worse." He said. When he figured Chief didn't say anything, he turned him so he was facing him.
"If you need some help regarding Zen, you could ask Skye to help you." He pointed out.
Chief's face lit up. "Really? Thank you, Chase. You're the best big brother I have." He said as he hugged his older brother before running off.
If anyone knows everything about Zen, it's Skye. He thought before he turned around just in time to see Zuma before he collides with him.
"Sorry, dude, didn't see you there." He said, but before he could run off, Chase tackled him and rolled him over on his back.
"Easy, Zuma. Why are you in such a hurry?" He asked, hoping Zuma would just tell him.
"Sorry, Chase, I can't tell you yet. Now, please, let me up, I'm a bit in a hurry." Zuma replied, wanting this to be a surprise.
"Not until you tell me why are you in such a hurry. And since you won't tell me, I'll have to do this the hard way." Chase said before he began rubbing his paws over the water pup's belly.
"Hehehehe! C-Chase, duhuhuhude! Hehehehehe! Stohohohop that! Hehehehe!" Zuma exclaimed through giggles. However, Chase picked up speed, making Zuma laugh.
"Ahahahahahahaha! Chase, cut it ohohohohohout! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Thahahahat tickles! Ahahahahahaha!" Zuma exclaimed as he laughed, squirming and wiggling, trying to escape the police pup's grasp. After about 5 minutes, Zuma laughed harder as Chase kept tickling him. Eventually, the water pup couldn't take it anymore.
"Ahahahahahaha! Chase, stohohohohop! Ahahahahahahahaha! Okay, I'll tehehehehell you! Ahahahahahahahaha! Just stop tihihihihihickling me! Ahahahahahaha!" Zuma cried out as tears started running down his cheeks from laughing so much. Chase finally stopped and let him catch his breath, but didn't move away.
"Now tell me why you are in a hurry." He smirked as he slowly stroke Zuma's belly. Zuma looked at the police pup, still giggling as he felt Chase's paws stroking his belly.
"Okay, I just asked Misty ohout on a date. Hehehehe! And she sahahaid yes. Hehehe! Now, plehehease, stop tickling me." Zuma explained through giggles. Chase then jumped off his friend and smiled.
"Wow, good for you, Zuma. Anyway, I need to get going. Katie is waiting for me so we could go explore the forest." Chase said as he then ran off in the direction of the Pet salon.
It didn't take long for the two to arrive at the forest, exploring, playing, watching the wild, whatever they could think of. After 15 minutes, Katie told Chase that she needs to get back to the salon and runs off, with the German shepherd waving before he continued walking. Soon, he reached the mountain and began walking up the road.
"Ahhh, nothing like a little breeze to cool me off on a hot day." Chase said to himself. Suddenly, he heard something.
"Help! Someone help me!" It said in a female voice. Chase perked his ears up and followed the sound to the cave, not knowing how deep it is.
"Sounds like it's coming from over here. I better call Ryder." But before Chase could do anything, his paws slipped and he fell inside, his collar somehow coming off and landing at the entrance. As he landed, he yelped in pain. Thankfully, it wasn't hard, otherwise, he would be knocked out. He looks around.
"It's really deep down here. And a little too steep to climb up by myself. What should I…?" But then he looks at where his pup-tag was supposed to be and sighed.
"Now I can't call Ryder. I just hope someone will find the collar and call for help." Chase said before he began searching for the mysterious voice. It took him 7 minutes because of his listening, but he managed to find the dog.
"Thank God! I thought…" The female German shepherd started but stopped mid-sentence as she looked at Chase. She was shocked to see him. "C-Chase? How did you get here?" She asked.
Chase's eyes went wide. "Sylvia? How did you end up here?" He asked in shock.
"I actually went for a walk with my owner and he didn't notice me and kept walking. I tried to catch up to him, but I fell in here. I've been calling for help ever since." Sylvia explained.
"I see. How long have you been in here?" Chase asked.
"For the last 4 hours, maybe 5. By the way, where's your collar?"
"I think it's at the entrance where I dropped it after my paws slipped."
"So, you actually heard my call for help?"
Chase nodded. "Yeah. But now we both need help. Wait a second. Can you walk?"
Sylvia tried to stand up and did it, but she winced in pain as she lifted her front left paw.
"I can only limp. It seems I injured my paw in that fall." She replied.
Chase then helped her to the steep slope where an entrance is.
"Um, you do realize we won't be able to reach the entrance, right? It's on top of this steep slope." Sylvia asked.
"Yeah, but if we help each other, one of us will make it."
And so they did just that. It took them about 10 minutes, but they got close to the top. But then, another problem appeared.
"Sylvia, my paws are slipping. You need to reach the cave entrance and find my collar. Once you have it, call Ryder." Chase instructed.
Sylvia would get him out first, but she already injured herself in the fall, so she nodded. But as Chase pushed Sylvia, he pushed at her sides, sending Sylvia into giggles.
"Hehehehe! C-Chase, that tickles! Hehehehe!" Sylvia exclaimed, but despite that, she reached the entrance while Chase's paws slipped and he rolled down the slope, hitting his head on the wall.
"Chase!" Sylvia shouted, but no response. She decided to call for help like he told her. She found Chase's collar and tapped it to call Ryder.
A/N: Well, this went well. Chief developed a crush, Chase fell in a hole, saved Sylvia the super shepherd, but is out cold. Can he be saved? Find out next time.
