It was odd, how they first met. Considering how Carlos himself lived in a jungle, taking care of the wild, and Ace nowhere close, as it seems she's always on the move, doing her stunts, it was quite unlikely the two would ever meet face to face; at least, that's what Carlos had thought.

"No way! You actually got to meet Ace Sorensen?!" Carlos shouted, eyes wide. Ryder chuckled.

"Yep, she came over here because she wanted Skye to help with her performance, but we ended up helping her because her engine had started to stutter midair." Ryder said, smiling at his penpal.

"That's so cool! Did you help her? No, I know you did! And Skye got to be part of the show, didn't she?" He asked. Ryder nodded.

"Yep." He said, and Carlos sighed.

"Man, I wish I could see Ace live. She's, like, an awesome flyer." He said, a small smile on his face. When it appeared that Carlos wasn't going to say anything, mind going into wonderland, Ryder cleared his throat, hiding a smile behind his fist.

"You seem, uh, very interested in her. Do you like her Carlos?" Ryder asked in a teasing tone. Breaking out of his daydream, Carlos sputtered, blushing at the accusation.

"W-Well, I-I mean, she's nice and all, a-and kind of cute, b-but I like her as a fan Ryder!" He said in a near whine, pouting when he saw his penpal laughing slightly. Thinking of getting even, Carlos smirked. "What about you and Katie, huh? Did you confess to her yet?"

Ryder choked.

"W-What are you talking about? Confess to Katie about what?" He asked, blushing. Carlos rolled his eyes.

"I don't know Ryder, how about how the sky reminds you of her eyes? Or how you want to run a hand through her hair, wondering if it's as soft as it looks? Or, I don't know, how you plan on asking her on a date, but never had the courage to?" He said, the smirk widening when Ryder's face resembled a tomato, as the ten year old sunk lower and lower in his seat, looking utterly mortified.

"Quiet! The pups could probably hear you!" He hissed, glaring at his friend.

"Probably? That actually reminds me - has Chase asked out Skye yet? God knows he needs to." Carlos asked.

"Actually, Chase isn't interested in Skye anymore, surprisingly. I had figured those two were going to get married, but apparently work before pleasure. At least, that's what Chase told me when I asked why he hadn't made a move on her yet." Ryder said, shrugging his shoulders. Carlos blinked.

"Really? Think he moved on?" He asked. Ryder was about to respond when there was a sudden crash in the distance, coming from Carlos' side of the screen. The two boys jumped in surprised, Carlos turning around, eyes wide.

"What was that?" Ryder asked.

"I don't know, but I'm going to check it out. I'll report back to you if I find anything." Carlos said, getting his flashlight and other things.

"Want us to come over?" Ryder asked, looking worried.

"Nah, I got this. Like I said, I'll contact you if it's anything dangerous."

"Alright, be careful Carlos!"

"I will! Carlos out." With that, Carlos turned off his pup pad and headed out the door. Climbing down the ladder of his treehouse, Carlos quickly turned on his flashlight, surveilling the area. A part of him was worried - this WAS a jungle and Carlos has had one too many close encounters with predators for his own good; the other part, however, knew there wasn't anything to be afraid of. He knew this jungle much like Ryder knew his town - there wasn't any place Carlos could not get into without knowing about it. "The crash sounded like it came from the south of me. I better check it out." He said and began running towards the South.

Carlos was eventually lead to the outskirts of the jungle, near the ocean, where he spotted a plane.

"Oh no! Hey, are you alright?!" He shouted, running towards the damage plane. From the looks of it, the plane wasn't a total loss - Rocky could probably repair it with some of his tools, if asked. However, before Carlos could call Ryder, a soft groan was heard and when he looked into the cock pilot seat, he gasped.

A certain orange-haired female with freckles across her face was laying there, unconscious.

Carlos gaped.

It's Ace! Ace Sorensen! I-I wondered what happen? Ace made another noise of discomfort, and Carlos shook his head. Now's not the time for that! I have get her out of that seat and take her back to my place! She could be injured, or something. When she wakes, I'll ask what happened. He thought, and started lifting the glass and started to unbuckle her seat. Puffing out air, Carlos slowly manage to get her out. She's kind of heavy. Wouldn't expect that from a petite girl. He thought before lifting her up, bridal style. Looking down at her sleeping face, Carlos blushed.

"Let's get you out of here, check for wounds, and then call Ryder." He muttered and headed towards his treehouse.

A/n: Anyone know how to add more characters in the PAW Patrol? I've already mailed Fanfiction about it, but I would want to add Carlos, Ace, Jake, Mayor Goodway, Mayor Humdinger, Farmer Yumi, Farmer Al, Mr. Porter, Alex, Humdinger's Kittens, Danny X, Tracker, and rest of the characters that aren't on there. Seriously. I plan on writing a Ryder/Katie, Carlos/Ace fanfic and I kind of need two of the characters there so I can fill out who's going to be in the fic. Plus it helps to add the fourth character to my story, Fairy Tale (maybe you've already guessed, but Ace is, indeed, going to be Erza in the fanfic. Oh I'm going to have so much fun with that XD). Just so you guys know - help build our community even more by addressing new characters to the list! That way they won't be confused with OCs! Please and thank you!

And any backslash about Chase and Skye not being a thing will be ignored and/or deleted, if you're a guest review. That's all.
