Hey! You may already know me from my story, Paw Patrol Backstory, but if you don't, I'm LizzyLucky. I write for several different fandoms of mine, all cartoons, this one included. I know it's kinda childish, especially because of some of the shows I watch, but hey, that's just me. Any way, I was thinking about that Paw Patrol Episode called Pups Save a Sniffle and got an idea into this out-a-wack brain I've got here. Notice how all the pups were sick? Colds don't naturally spread that fast, and what are the odds of all of them just happening to catch a cold at the same time? Why is it, that out of all the pups, Rubble didn't get sick? And, besides Rubble, why was Marshall the last one to get sick? And it all started from... nothing. Something about that all seems very odd. This story is, as earlier said, and idea I got that should answer all these question. What's the reason behind Rubble's apparent immunization to this illness? That's what I plan to answer. Why'd Marshall get it last? That would also be included. And yes, I know he's the medic pup, so it would kinda make sense that he was last, but I like to add a little twist… It sounds like a definite puppy cold. But how did Ryder catch it? Yet another question I hope will be answered in this odd story of mine. Anyway, just to let you know, I kinda make it up as I write. I don't have it all planned out, just some of the main points and ideas. But other than that, it's all made up on the fly.
Before I start the story up, I just want to add a few side notes. I take story requests, and I would really like to get some. In my account, I include a list of shows that I write for, and will be adding some more soon. I may not include everything I know because I don't write for everything I am a fan of, but you can always ask me about something not listed. I also edit stories, just PM me about it or leave a comment in your review.
I have some rules for if you do leave a review: No swearing, no sexual themes, and try not to be rude about. Flames are ok, but I don't want to be cussed out or told in a rude manner that you don't like my story or that there is something wrong with it or me.
Thank you for reading my story and giving it a chance,

Oh, oh! One more thing! I forgot to tell you… I don't have everything that happened in the episode perfectly memorized, so you'll have to forgive me for how off it all is. I kinda made it up a little at the beginning 'cause I can't remember what happened. Oh well. Sorry!
Sorry, one more thing. I DON'T OWN PAW PATROL!
The pups had been playing all morning. It was cool and crisp out. A perfect spring day.
Marshall and Zuma playing tug-of-war, Sky and Rubble taking turns doing flips and such on a trampoline, Ryder working on his latest invention, everything seemed to be going right.
Chase and Rocky were playing together too, chasing each other around and being their usual goofy selves. Except that Chase seemed a little off today. He didn't run as fast or as excitedly as he usually did.
"Ha ha! Can't catch me, Chase!" Rocky shouted, shrugging it off.
"Oh yes I- I- uh- ah- Ah- AH…" Chase started and covered his nose and mouth. "AH-CHOO!" He sneezed and fell backwards onto the ground.
"Woah, you okay, Chase?" Rocky asked, walking towards Chase and forgetting their game for the time being.
"I'm fine. It must be my allergies." He said, sniffling and speaking in a rough voice, eyes half lidded. He yawned. "Wow, this running has made me tired. Wanna grab a snack?" Chase asked, walking toward the lookout drowsily.
"Uh, sure." Rocky said, following his friend.
Before they even made it to the doors, their collars flashed. "Pups, to the lookout!"
Without a second thought, they all yelped "Ryder needs us!" From where they were and began to run towards the lookout.
Skye did one last bounce and a triple flip in the air and landing on the ground shouting, "Ta-da!" and continuing her sprint to the lookout.
"Nice one, Skye!" Rubble complimented her.
Everyone was nearing the elevator when, as usual, Marshall tripped up. He tripped over the pull rope he was playing with earlier and managed to tie up his legs, rolling to the lookout. "Woah-oah-oah-oah!" He shouted as he tumbled through the grass.
The other pups heard him coming and jumped out of the way just in time. Marshall crashed into the back of the elevator, completely wrapped in the rope.
"That's a wrap!" He yelled. Everyone in the elevator laughed.
Chase interrupted it with another "Ah-AH-AHH-CHOO!" Flying into the back of the wall with Marshall.
"You alright, Chase?" Marshall asked his best friend.
"I'm fine, it's just my allergies." He said.
"If you say so." Marshall said.
As the elevator passed through. the pups outfits just magically appeared and they all got into order.
At the top, they all jumped out and stood in nearly perfect allignment, the exception being that several of the pups had walked out in a daze of exhaustion instead of leaping to their spots.
"Ready for… action, Ryder s-Ah CHOO!" Chase said. "For action, Ry-AH-CHOO, AH-CHOO, AHH-CHOOOO!" He tried again and failed. Instead of yet another attempt at his phrase of loyalty, he opened his mouth and coughed, roughly. His hat was astrewn and he looked like he might fall asleep right then and there.
Ryder looked at his police pup with worry.
Marshall walked up and said. "Chase say "Ahh."" He took out a thermometer from his pup pack.
"I told you it's just- mmph!" Chase said as Marshall stuck the thermometer in his mouth.
"Hmm... " Marshall said, examining the thermometer.
"AH-CHOO!" Chase sneezed again.
"Yup. You definitely have a cold. You need rest and lots of fluids." Marshall instructed.
"Oh no, Chase! That means you won't be able to help with the mission!" Ryder said.
Chase's ears drooped. "I guess not. I'm sorry, Ryder." He apologized.
"It's okay, Chase. No need to apologize. It's not really something you can control." Ryder replied. And he was right.
Ryder continued to explain the mission to the other pups, and in the process revealing Zuma and Skye to be sick as well.
Ryder frowned and wished the ill pups best before he, Rocky, and Rubble took off for the mission.
It had been several hours and Ryder had called to say that the mission was nearly over, but that Rocky had also gotten sick.
Chase, Skye, and Zuma all had bowls of soup in front of them, pillows beneath them, and blankets on top of them. They had all been confirmed sick by Katie and Marshall, and only seemed to be getting worse. Although their moods improved, and that was good.
Right after Marshall left, Chase fell asleep.
"Aww, he's so cute when he's asleep!" Skye cooed. "I mean... Uh… He's… Nevermind." She said shyly.
Zuma chuckled. "Whatevewr, dudette. Man, what a cold he caught though. We got it too. And now Wrocky! Probably not long befowre Mawrshall and Wrubble get it too." He said.
"Probably. Wow, my nodse ids dso sdiffly." Skye said, her stuffy nose making her speech kinda funny. (She said, "Wow, my nose is so sniffly." If you didn't quite get that.)
"I know what you mean. Mine, too." Zuma said.
The two pups chuckled and continued laughing until Marshall got back with Rocky, Rubble, and Ryder, waking Chase.
"Zzz.. Wh-what? I wadsn't dsleeping!" Chase said when they arrived. ("I wasn't sleeping!")
Everyone in the room laughed, except Marshall, who coughed and nearly collapsed.
"Woah, Marshall! Are you okay?" Ryder asked, worried. Marshall's response in saying he was ok didn't seem so convincing to Ryder. Marshall looked even worse than all the other pups. He could barely stand, and it was so sudden. The medic pup, getting sicker than all the others. Talk about irony.
"I mudst have caught the cold too!" Marshall said in dismay. (Okay, I'm tired of translating. I just put a 'd' before 's', that's all.)
"I guess so!" Ryder said, before sneezing himself. "Uh oh." Ryder said. He and Marshall sat down together next to all the pups.
"Ha ha! I guess I'm the only not sick yet, then." Rubble said.
"I almodst forgot that! How do you feel, Rubble?" Marshall asked.
"I feel fine! No cough, no sneeze, not sick at all!" He said proudly. He figured it was because he liked things cleaner than everyone else did.
Boy was he wrong.
Hey! So, I know that's not tons of action, and it's really just a recreation of the episode, but I hope that'll get you interested. I'm a little disappointed in myself that I didn't make it longer, but I have 4 other stories I'm working on too! And the end of the school year is approaching, and it's high school, and prom next week, and siblings, and jobs, and messy room…. I kinda have a lot on my plate, so I'm really sorry I couldn't make it longer or more interesting. Tell me what you think, PLEEAASSEEEE!
