It was a calm night in Barkingburg, and everyone was either getting ready for bed or already in bed asleep. In the castle, the Earl and the Princess were getting ready for bed as well. In her bedroom, the Princess was sitting on her bed and playing with Sweetie. The Princess was wearing a white silk nightgown, and her long brown hair was pulled back up in a bun.
"Sweetie, how good of a queen will I be when I'm crowned?" the Princess asked her pup.
"I think you'll do fine." Sweetie replied with a fake niceness in her voice.
"I hope so." the Princess replied.
Just then, there was a knock on the Princess's door. The door opened and the Earl, dressed in a dark blue robe, poked his head in.
"Princess? It's about time you went to sleep." The Earl said.
"Sure thing Earl." the Princess said as she got under her silk covers, "Good night Earl."
"Good night Princess." the Earl said as he closed the door and headed down to his room.
Sweetie then jumped off the Princess's bed and walked over towards hers, along with her robot toy, Busby.
"Good night Sweetie." the Princess said.
"Night Princess." Sweetie said as she curled up on her bed and closed her eyes.
The Princess looked at her pup for a minute. Even though she loved Sweetie, she still wished she was nicer and didn't try to steal important artifacts so much to try to get attention or become queen. So far, Sweetie had stolen the royal crown and framed Chase, the Princess's favorite of the PAW Patrol pups, for taking it. She also had tried to scare everyone out of the palace, stolen the royal throne, imprisoned Luke Stars and stole his microphone, and let all the animals out of the royal zoo.
But despite her antics, the Princess had always believed there was a good heart in her pup. She just had to find a way to bring it out. But now was not the time. The Princess layed her head on her pillow and closed her eyes.
About an hour later when she heard the Princess's soft snoring, Sweetie opened her eyes and saw the princess was fast asleep. Sweetie got off her dog bed and snuck across the room with Busby behind her. She quietly opened the door and snuck out and kept in the shadows in the hallways. She and her toy snuck down to the basement, and she pushed a stone on the wall. The wall opened revealing a hidden tunnel. The West Highland White Terrier pup made her way down the tunnel and entered into a secret room. Her base.
Sweetie went over to the computer, seeing that she had an incoming call. She pressed a button and in the dark, she saw a figure sitting down.
"Hello sir." Sweetie said.
"Hello Miss Sweetie." the figure said with a raspy voice, "Have you gotten the jewel yet?"
"Not yet." Sweetie replied, "I'm on my way to get it right now. Once I have it, I'll meet up with you."
"Alright then." the figure said, "And then we'll head to Foggy Bottom. But make sure you leave before sunrise. We have to be ahead of the PAW Patrol and secure the deal."
"I promise sir." Sweetie said, "I'm going to get the right now."
"Excellent." the figure replied, "See you in a few hours."
The screen went blank, and Sweetie quickly got dressed in her gear. She made her way through the tunnel with Busby behind her. She snuck through the castle, staying in the shadows until she made her way to the room. Two guards were standing outside it. Sweetie then released several smoke bombs. The guards began coughing and then collapsed to the floor unconscious. Sweetie made her way past them and opened the door. Inside the jewel room she began looking around for what she needed. She then spotted a box with a label on it.
Sweetie then opened the box and smiled. In the box was a beautiful, deep blue sapphire. It was the sapphire of Queen Michelle. With her claw, she grabbed the sapphire and put it in her pup pack. She quickly snuck out of the jewel room with her toy behind her. Sweetie then got into her Copter Car and flew off.
"Phase one of the plan is complete." Sweetie thought happily to herself, "Now onto phase two."
The next morning, the Princess woke up and saw that Sweetie wasn't on her bed. She assumed that her pup had already woken up and was eating breakfast. The Princess got up, got dressed, and headed downstairs. She entered into the dining room and saw the Earl sitting at the table and drinking coffee. Henry and Elizabeth, the royal kitties, were eating their breakfast, but Sweetie wasn't there.
"Good morning Your Majesty." the Earl said.
"Morning Earl." the Princess said as she sat down. The butler set a plate of eggs and toast in front of the Princess, along with a glass of milk.
"Thank you." the Princess said before turning to the Earl, "Have you seen Sweetie anywhere?"
"No, I haven't." the Earl replied, "I though she was sleeping in your room."
"She was, but now I don't know where she is." the Princess replied.
About an hour or two later, the Earl was attending to some royal duties, and the Princess was playing with Henry and Elizabeth while wondering where Sweetie was. She had told the guards to keep an eye out for precious pup. Just then a soldier rushed in.
"Your Majesties, there's been a situation." the guard said frantically.
"What is it?" the Earl asked as the Princess came and stood next to him, "What's wrong?"
"While searching for the princess's pup, we found the guards who were guarding the jewel room last night unconscious on the floor." the guard replied.
"Oh no!" the Princess gasped.
"It gets worse." the guard said, "The sapphire of Queen Michelle has been stolen!"
The Earl and the Princess were left in shock. First, Sweetie disappeared and now one of the royal family's most precious jewels had been stolen.
"Oh no, what are we going to do?!" the Princess exclaimed.
"I'll call the PAW Patrol!" the Earl exclaimed.
Meanwhile across the ocean, Sweetie and the figure she had been talking to were in Mayor Humdinger's secret lair. Sweetie was sitting at one end of the table and Mayor Humdinger at the other.
"So that's our plan." Sweetie concluded, "Will you join us?"
"Of course." Mayor Humdinger replied eagerly, "After all this time, I've been wanting to get back at that pesky, pathetic, PAW Patrol."
"And you will Mayor." the figure said from the shadows, "But remember, we can't let the PAW Patrol find out who they really are."
