Welcome to Pup Camp! For the few that recognize either my name or this story, this is the second time I am writing this story. I had to stop writing for personal reasons and am only able to start now. Over a year later. Either way I am back with a slightly different take on the story. Those who loved the very short part of my first story, welcome back!. All you guys new to the story, welcome! Also if you are new, there really isn't a reason to go read the earlier version. Unless you want a rushed, early version of this story that isn't as good. Also, I'm going to say this now: Tracker will not e a part of this story. I'm not saying he won't exist, but for reasons explained in the story, he will not make an appearance
Anyway, about the story. Pup Camp is a heavily OC based story. It has background characters about my own OCs and about the original Paw Patrol Characters. I will be accepting other people's OCs for this series and will allow some people to use my own OCs. All I ask is that when I let you use my OCs, you give me credit. I will try to keep these chapters at 3k words each unless you guys want them longer or shorter. Just remember that the longer the chapters the longer they take and the shorter the chapters the more frequent they are. LETS GET GOING!
Zookers Out!
Ryder sat in at his desk at the top of the lookout. He looked over various files and applications. Since the Paw Patrol was formed he had been receiving emails, applications, and forms from various pups all over. He had spent weeks narrowing down the list of pups until he was down to the final eight. Ryder looked out the lard window at the top of the Lookout and sighed. With the PAW Patrol being a huge success, he had been asked by Mayor Goodway to create a second team. I could do it, but is it worth it? Don't get me wrong, the pups are family, but... how will the pups react?
Ryder was in the same spot when Jake called him. "Ryder man, the new crew just got here. What now?"
Ryder smiled. "Thanks for picking them up Jake, I'll gather up the patrol and meet you at the airport. See you in a few." As the call ended, Ryder pulled out the PAW Pad and pulled out the special section used to call the Patrol. Ryder hesitated a moment. I hope the pups are ready for this... and that I'm ready for this!
Marshall loved sleep. He loved to sleep in late and wake up only for breakfast. Sometimes he would pretend not to here knocking at his door, just so he didn't have to get up. He just wanted to sleep and sleep...and...sleep...
BEEP BEEP
Sadly, Marshall couldn't ignore his collar. He sleepily got up and shook himself awake. He looked at his clock. 6:00 am! He huffed and started walking out of his pup .house, when he ran into the closed door. He sat there for a minute, contemplating going back to sleep, when the door opened and he fell from the door, to his face. "Sorry Marshall!" said a somewhat familiar voice.
He looked up to see a very familiar husky. "Everest?" Marshall asked as he slowly got to his feet. "What are you doing here?"
"Jake brought me here this morning...said he had to go somewhere."
"Why... what's going on?"
"Not sure, but we should probably hurry. Everyone else is already in the Lookout elevator soooo."
"Yeah let's hurry!" Marshal said as he ran off. "Race you there!"
"Hey, no fair!" she said as she ran after him giggling. It was a pretty short race, but Everest still made some significant ground.
"What took you so long Everest?" Chase said as she sat down next Skye.
"Some one had to wake Marshall up." she said slightly aggravated.
Chase went to say something else, but the elevator going up through him a little off balance. They stopped at the Locker Rooms at the heart of the Lookout. Quickly they grabbed their suits and bags, before hurrying back to the elevator. They quickly got in line and when they got to the top, followed Chase's lead into formation. Ryder turned to face them. "Okay pups, standby!" The relaxed a little bit. It was kinda awkward to be in standby, since it was rarely used in the Patrol.
"Ryder,sir." Chase said slightly confused. "why did you call us here? Clearly there is no mission or task for us."
Ryder smiled. "Your right Chase, there is no mission today, but there is a task. I need you pups to go to the airport and pick up our guests."
"Who are-" Rubble started.
"You'll see when you get to the airport. Jake's already there, but I figured it would be better for you all to go pick them up. Just make sure you each have extra room in your vehicles. Dismissed" Ryder said turning back around.
The pups shared a quick glance at each other in confusion, before heading to the slide, minus Everest whose snow mobile is resting a few meters away from the lookout. A few minutes later, they were all on their way to the airport, which was close to the beach. They were all in single file with Chase at the front.
Chase's POV
Guests.
The word rang in my head for the entire trip to the airport. Ryder never uses that word unless its someone we haven't met before. So I'm supposed to lead MY team to pick up unknown people and take them to... wherever they are supposed to go. He looked in his rear view mirrors and saw that Zuma, who was right behind him, was also lost in thought. I was so busy looking at Zuma, that I almost missed the turn into the airport parking lot. I parked and the rest of the Patrol followed suit and Skye landed her chopper a little ways away.
"Whatcha thinking about Zuma" I asked.
"It just seems kinda weiwd." he said with that same puzzled look he had in the car. We all started walking toward the airport doors. "We awe sent hewe to pick up a couple people, but Jake is already here. Why wouldn't Jake take them home?"
"He's right." Rocky said. "The only thing I can think of is that their must be a lot of them or... maybe their too dangerous?"
We pushed through the dog doors and spotted Jake. He was sitting on a bench by himself, but walked over to us when he saw us. "Hey pup dudes. The others are around back. Some of them had long flights and needed to stretch their legs.
"Who are they?" Skye blurted.
"Ryder told me not to tell you. You should talk to them on the drive home though. Follow me, I'll take you to meet them." He walked around to the back of the airport and out the back doors. He went down the stairs to the beach and sand, but stopped us at the bottom. "Did you here that?"
"Here what?" said Marshall. The rest of us shushed him and stayed quiet. I didn't hear anything.
"It's gone now." Jake said. "Follow me. They're right down here."
We turned the corner. There were a bunch of people and pups on the beach, per usual. No one really stood out. "Hey Jake" a small voice cried. We all looked down and saw a small black pup. They were a very tiny German Shepherd. "Gadget told me you were coming."
He smiled back at the small pup. "Of course he did. Where is he?"
She laughed a little bit. "He's been tailing you guys since you parked in the parking lot." The Patrol eyed the small pup, stunned.
"Who are you?"
She smiled. "My names Glitch." She turned around. "Hey guys! They're here."
A couple of the pups on the beach turned toward and started trotting over. Among them was a brown mutt, a Golden Retriever, a wolf, a Grey Shepherd. From behind them another small German Shepherd. Finally was a lemon beagle who came up from our right, higher up on the beach. The Grey Shepherd spoke up for them. "Glitch, Gadget, Timber, Sap, BlueJay, Patches, and Daren reporting for duty Jake."
I just...stared at them. They were lined up, like us. They were disciplined in the same style as us. They all seemed to be different breeds, except for the two twins. They were...just like us. "Jake what am I looking at here?" I said a little bit stunned. I don't know how to feel. I feel happy, but also worried and angry. Why am I angry?
"Your looking at seven new pups." He said matter-of-factly. "Ryder will explain when we get back. For now I need you guys to give them a ride back to the Lookout."
"You want us to give pups we don't know a ride back to the Lookout? Our base of operations?" Rubble protested.
"Yes I do, and so does Ryder." he said angrily. "Now if you don't get back you'll be late. Get going!"
We turned and started off toward the airport parking lot. The new pups followed us, but Jake stayed back on the beach on his phone. We got to the parking lot and lined up in front of our vehicles. The new pups lined up in front of us. We took another moment to scan over them. "How about some introductions? Give us your names and job?" I ordered.
The grey shepherd stepped forward again. "What's with the hostility? We haven't done anything wrong." he growled. 'Let's just get to the Lookout and Ryder can explain everything."
"So you know what this is about?" Rocky said suddenly.
"Of course we do." the wolf said. "We can give you our names if you want, but that's all we can give you. I'll start. The names Timber." The wolf pup was grey and carried a bag the same color.
Next was the twins. "The names are Glitch-" "-And Gadget." The two twins were young, black German Shepherds. They each carried purple backs that looked way too big for them.
"Sap." I turned my head to the brown mutt. He had his dark green cap pulled down over his eyes and was clearly shy. He carried a bag the same color of his hat.
Next was the Lemon Beagle. He carried an oddly shaped Sky Blue...thing on his back. He wore a similar blue set of flying goggles around his neck. "Everyone calls me BlueJay."
"Is that youw weal name?" asked Zuma.
"No, but its what you'll call me." he said plainly.
The Golden Retriever stepped up to shake our hands. "The names Patches." She carried a snow white backpack.
Finally was their leader, the shepherd. He stared at me for a moment before he spoke up. "Daren." Daren carried black backpack.
"Great, now lets go." said Marshall. We all hopped in our vehicles and one pup joined each of us, except Rubble since the twins both rode with Zuma.
Ryder what did you do!?
Daren hopped in the car with me. Needless to say, it was a quiet ride back.
Skye's POV
BlueJay hopped up into my chopper. "You know, I've never been a helicopter before."
I rolled my eyes. "That's what everyone says."
"Yeah I know how you feel." he said kindly.
"What do you mean?" She said as the chopper took off.
"People say the same thing to me when I take them hang gliding. It's a shame most people don't do it more than once."
"I guess you go hang gliding a lot?" I said curiously.
"Yeah. I grew up in California. There is a lot of sand dunes nearby. People rarely went there and they were pretty hilly, so I decided to learn to hang glide. I learned how to use some small, acrobatic gliders, and I learned to use some that, with the right height and wind can go for miles."
"I'd like to see that." she said. No way a glider can go that far.
"I mean if you'd really like to, I'll show you." He said. He motioned to the thing on his back. "AcroGlider! Arf!"
His bag folded out to a smaller glider with sky blue wings. "Wait! Don't go now!"
"Why not?" He asked as he pulled his goggles on.
"Because! We're supposed to hurry to the Lookout! That glider is too slow!"
"It's not that slow!" he huffed. "But you're right, the chopper is faster." He sighed and pulled his goggles back down around his neck, but kept up his smile. "Sorry I guess I'm just a little excited."
"Yeah its fine, but don't jump out of my chopper! You could have gotten seriously hurt!"
"Maybe you're right, but it would be so much fun!" he giggled.
I smiled. Maybe these guys weren't as bad as they seemed.
Chase's POV
After a very long and quiet ride, Daren and I reached the Lookout. We both go out silently as the rest of the vehicles. They all got out, most of them talking. "PAW Patrol! On me!" I called. The pups stood quietly for a moment, before hurrying in line behind me. I marched off and into the elevator, before falling in our normal line.
"Fall In!" Daren called. The pups walked slowly and ended up in a straight line in front of the PAW Patrol. I stared at the back of Daren's head as the elevator went up. He had a small spot on the back of his neck that was miss-colored. The fur at that spot also looked a little bit shorter. I chose to ignore as the doors opened at the top of the lookout. Right now, Ryder had some questions to answer.
