Chase POV

Today started off normal enough. I was the first of the pups to wake up, and like I usually do, I walked to the cliff by the bay to watch the sunrise. That part was normal, as I walked back to the Lookout to wake the other pups, something caught my eye. That something was a certain chocolate lab sleeping

"He's kinda cute when he's asleep isn't he" I thought

"Wait….Where did that come from"

I have always seen him as my little brother, to see him like this is completely new to me. I shrugged it off as nothing as I still had a job to do, I had to wake all the pups up for breakfast. So once this task and all the pups got up we headed to the lookout to get our breakfast from Ryder.

"Good Morning Ryder,sir" I said to Ryder as he approached with our breakfast

"Good morning pups" He said as he placed our bowls down.

"Did you sleep well pups", he asked

"Yep" we all replied, well almost all of us as Rubble was currently face first in bowl of food. He glanced up from eating long enough to meet our amused stares

"what" He said, "a pup's gotta eat" This earned a laugh from everyone, especially Marshall who wasn't paying attention and tripped over Rubble who went back to eating his food.

"sorry Rubble" said Marshall apologetically

"It's ok buddy, I was getting full anyway" said Rubble laughing

This earned a laugh from everyone, but as we were laughing my eyes were stuck on Zuma. The way he laughs makes me feel even weirder, I really need to talk to someone. I thought this my mind went back to daydreaming about zuma…

Zuma POV

"Hmm I wondew why Chase is looking at me like that"I thought, "Not that I weally mind though" "Look at him, he's bwave, smawt, stwong, cute"... woah whewe did that one come fwom. Did I just call Chase cute? I'm not lying though As I thought this my mind began to day dweam about me and chase until Wyder's voice bwoght me back...

"Looks like we have a big snowstorm moving in pups"Said Ryder " I want you all ready in case we start getting a lot of calls"

"A snowstorm" said Marshall, " Maybe we will get to see Everest" he said eagerly, as everyone knew he had a crush on her but couldn't build up the courage to ask her.

"Ok pups you are free for the day until I start getting calls" said Ryder

"Ok, Ryder" we all said

And with that I went to my puphouse to continue to wondew why I was thinking that way about Chase...

Chase POV

As we left the lookout I went over to Marshall so I could talk to him about how I felt earlier

"If I can trust anyone with my secret, it's him" I said to myself

"Hey Marshall, can I talk to you" I asked with a sense of urgency in my eyes

"Sure," he replied

"Great," I said " It's really important"

Marshall POV

"What's up Chase" I asked

"I need some advice" he said

"Well….." I began

"How can you tell a pup that you have feelings for that you like them" he asked

"Well if you are talking about Skye, She already likes you so u should be fine to ask her" I replied satisfied with my answer.

"It's not her Marshall" said Chase " we tried that already, we went a month and she said I wasn't the pup for her" Said Chase neutrally

"I'm sorry bud" I replied

Little did the pups know that Skye was outside eavesdropping on their conversation. And they didn't know that she resented Chase for breaking their relationship off.

"Marshall, what I am going to tell you is secret"said chase sternly "No pup is to know"

"You are like a brother to me Chase, any secret of yours I will take to the grave with me, Pups Honor" I said loyalty, "so who is the lucky pup"

"It's...:" he hesitated "It's Zuma… I have feelings for Zuma"

Skye POV

Gasp

"That explains why he broke up with me" said skye, "he's been gay the whole time"

"O no" I thought, "They see me"

Chase POV

I can't believe it. She was eavesdropping this whole time. I feel so embarrassed, I just started to cry and cry. I took off running, trying to escape it.

"She knows" I thought "So much for keeping this to myself"

I just kept running and running and running until i was deep into the woods. Suddenly I stopped and felt a lot of pain in my Head. I look up and see blood on a tree from where I hit it. I sank to the ground the world slowly fading to black. When suddenly the face of a cute little Chocolate lab appeared, and as i slipped out of consciousness all i could hear was

"Zuma….Zuma….Zuma"

Then it all went black.
