Enjoy!

"Skye, are you okay?" The bulldog knew it was a stupid question. The cockapoo was definitely not okay by any means, but he had to say something. Skye had run off an hour ago with tears in her pink-tinged brown eyes, leaving Rubble and the others concerned. "Ryder wanted to come find you, but I told him not to." He swallowed hard, "knew that you needed space, and I told him I knew where you were." He sat down next to her, glanced out over the cliff into the night sky, and smiled. "It's the tallest point in all of Adventure Bay. When the wind blows, you almost feel like you're flying." Finally he stopped right behind her, and spoke again. "Skye, please," he pleaded. "You need to come home."

She turned away from him. "No!" Tears streamed down her face, and she sniffed "I'm not coming home. . . I know what's waiting for me . . . a pup who doesn't love me."

Rubble's bright amber eyes grew wide, making them glow brighter in the moonlight. "That's not true!" He almost yelled. "Chase loves you like a sister, they all do."

"I wanted more!" She yelled in heartbroken anger.

"Look Skye," Rubble yelled. "I know what it feels like to give someone you heart, and then realize they've already given it to someone else." His eyes filled with more tears, and his voice came down. "You feel betrayed, and hurt. And, you feel stupid for giving your heart away in the first place."

Now the cockapoo looked into the bulldogs tear filled amber eyes. In the moonlight, his eyes almost turned gold and stood out for the blue cast on the white fur around them. 'His eyes are beautiful in the moonlight. . . His eyes are beautiful anyway.' She thought. 'I hate seeing them like this though.' Skye found herself staring into those eyes for a few long moments, until she realized something. "You're in love with me, aren't you?"

When Rubble nodded without hesitation, she was shocked. Then she turned away from him, "Rubble I. . . I. . . I'm sorry. . . I can't hear this now, please." She felt the tears again, "please go away."

"Skye, i'm not coming back to the Lookout without you. . . Please come home."

"No." She continued looking at the stars.

"Skye, please listen to me," the bulldog stopped. And then, instead of speaking, Rubble sang. . .

We've been friends for a long, long time. . .

You tell me your secrets, and I tell you mine.

He's left you all alone and you feel like no one cares. . .

But I have never failed you, I've always been there.

Skye had heard Rubble sing before, but she had no idea he could sing so beautifully. . .

You know your story? It sounds a lot like mine.

It's the same situation, it happens every time.

Can't you see, maybe you and me. . .

Is what's meant to be, or do you disagree?

What if I told you, what if I said that I love you?

How would you feel?

What would you think?

What would we do?

I'm afraid to cross that line, between your heart and mine.

Will I lose a friend, or find a love that would never end?

What if I said . . .?

He moved closer to her to where they were almost muzzle to muzzle, and continued to sing.

We've both had our share of loneliness.

So who's to say, we can't have a little happiness.

And if I found that in you, it would make my dreams come true.

Please don't walk away. . .

Hear what I have to say!

What if I told you, what if I said that I love you?

How would you feel?

What would you think?

What would we do?

As he paused to take a breath, Skye connected her muzzle with his, and kissed him. After a couple of long seconds, she pulled back. "Rubble. . ."

"Sorry, I just needed you to know someone loved you. And, I know your still getting over Chase, but I just wanted you to know that someone loved you." As he spoke he looked down at the ground and was fidgeting with his paws. "That . . . well, um . . . I-I love you . . . I always have."

'He's so cute when he's nervous.' The cockapoo smiled again. "Rubble, all I was going to say was thank you. . . I've seen you in a new way now and," she swallowed hard again as she stared at the ground, "I like it a lot."

The bulldog's cheeks turned a light pink; "Really?"

"Really . . . In fact," she then looked back up into his eyes, "I like you a lot." She smiled.

Rubbles blush deepened, and he smiled wide. "Y-You do?"

"I do," She kissed him on the cheek again. Then, the cockapoo placed he front paws on his broad chest, and pushed him over to where he was laying on his side.

"What are you doing?" Rubble asked curious.

She smiled, letting her pink-tinged brown eyes shine bright. "Doing something I've always wanted to do." Skye then lay down next to the bulldog, placing her body against his to hear his heartbeat. She wiggled her body in closer to his to get more comfortable then she looked at him again and smiled as he smiled back.

"I love you. . ." He spoke softly in her ear as he placed his head on the ground.

"I love you, too. . ." She whispered back.
