PUPS FIGHT DRUG ADDICTION
I DON'T OWN PAW PATROL ONLY MY OC'S
It was a bright, sunny & warm Monday afternoon. School had just let out for the day & everyone was going about their usual business. Mayabella went straight to Adventure Bay Airport from school. The reason she was going there was because her 15 year old cousin James was due to arrive in Adventure Bay that afternoon. A short time ago James' parents had arranged for him to stay in Adventure Bay with Mayabella because they were concerned for his physical & psychological well being. All Mayabella knew was that for the last few months James' behavior had started becoming increasingly disturbing & erratic & nobody knew what was causing it. His parents felt that letting him stay with Mayabella for a while would help him get back on track. As soon as Mayabella arrived at Adventure Bay Airport she went over to the arrivals area to wait for James. She was feeling both excited & nervous about his visit because of the reason why he was coming to stay with her.
"I really hope that James' stay here will help him get better. It's not like him to act erratically. I think the best thing I can do is be supportive & try to figure out what's causing him to behave like this. If all goes well he'll be back to normal in no time" thought Mayabella as she sat & waited for James. 15 minutes later a teenage boy with short blonde hair & brown eyes wearing a white short sleeve shirt, baggy blue pants & black sneakers appeared. He was carrying a suitcase full of clothes with him. Mayabella smiled when she saw him approach. The moment he caught her eyesight she got up & went over to him.
"Hello James. It's so nice to see you" said Mayabella as she gave James a hug.
"Thanks MB. So this is Adventure Bay is it? It looks like a nice place" said James as he looked outside with a smile.
"Trust me it is. Anyways let's get you back to my place so you can get settled in" said Mayabella as James & herself left the airport.
"I can't wait to meet all your friends. Can you introduce some of them to me after I get settled in?" asked James in a curious voice.
"Sure. They'll love meeting you" said Mayabella with a smile. Soon James & she arrived home. James was immediately impressed by how pristine Mayabella's house looked.
"Wow you have a really nice house here" said James as he smiled in amazement.
"Thanks. The inside is just as nice. See for yourself" said Mayabella as she let James & herself inside. James was pleased by what he saw. The house was clean & had a nice feel to it which was comforting for James. Scrap was waiting in the lounge for them. He smiled & wagged his tail excitedly when he saw James & Mayabella enter the lounge.
"Hello Mayabella. Is that James?" asked Scrap with an excited smile.
"It sure is" said Mayabella.
"Who's that?" asked James as he tilted his head in confusion.
"This is my pup Scrap. I took him in after his previous owner died. He used to live in the junkyard" said Mayabella.
"I like living with Mayabella a lot more. I actually feel more loved than when I was the junkyard pup" said Scrap with a cheerful smile.
"You're a very cute pup. What breed are you?" asked James as he petted Scrap.
"I'm an American Bulldog. It's nice to meet you James" said Scrap as he extended his paw.
"It's nice to meet you too Scrap" said James as he shook Scrap's paw.
"Anyways want me to show you where your room is James?" asked Mayabella.
"Yes please" said James as Mayabella took him to his room. The room James was staying in was mostly empty save for an inflatable mattress with pillows & bed covers on it.
"Want me to help you unpack?" asked Mayabella in a polite tone.
"No thanks. I didn't pack that much. I can sort it out" said James with a polite smile.
"OK. Once you're done I'll take you to meet some of my friends" said Mayabella as she left the room. James opened his suitcase & began hanging up his clothes in the closet. The clothes he'd brought with him included both short & long sleeved shirts, jumpers, jackets, shorts, long pants, socks, shoes & other bits & pieces. Aside from his clothes he'd also brought his phone, a picture of him with his parents, some books & board games. Eventually the only thing left in his suitcase was a zip lock bag filled with colored pills. The pills were not a prescribed medication. They were actually a deadly illicit drug known as Cocerojuana. It was a drug that combined cocaine, heroin & marijuana into 1 pill & it was infamous for causing extremely erratic behavior in anyone who took it. Nobody knew that it was the Cocerojuana that was causing James' behavior to spiral out of control. When James finished packing everything else he put the bag of Cocerojuana under 1 of the pillows to hide it.
"I know that I got sent here because of my Cocerojuana addiction. I'm not stupid. If mum & dad think me staying here with Mayabella will break my addiction they're wrong. I need this stuff. They don't seem to understand that. I have to keep it hidden from everyone or they'll take it away from me. I'm not going to let them do that. If they try to deprive me of Cocerojuana I'll kill them" thought James as he finished settling in. He then left his room eager to meet Mayabella's friends.
"OK I'm all done. Let's go meet your friends" said James.
"Excellent. Follow me" said Mayabella as James, herself & Scrap left the house. They all proceeded to head to the Lookout where Angel, Elias & Kelly were hanging out with Ryder & the pups. When James saw them all playing together he became excited.
"They look like a great group of people & pups to hang out with" said James in an enthusiastic manner.
"They are. I can tell they're going to love you" said Mayabella as James, herself & Scrap walked over. When Elias, Kelly, Ryder & the pups saw them approach they smiled & waved.
"Hi Mayabella, hi Scrap. How are you?" asked Elias.
"We're good. This is my cousin James. He's going to be staying with me & Scrap for a while" said Mayabella.
"That's the child star Elias Vincent isn't it?" asked James with curiosity in his voice.
"That's me. Nice to meet you James" said Elias as he shook James' hand. James then shook hands/paws with the others.
"Where are you from James?" asked Kelly as she smiled curiously.
"I'm from Meadow Heights just like Mayabella. I live there with my parents" said James.
"Nice. How old are you?" asked Ryder.
"I'm 15. Your pups are really cute Ryder. You're lucky to have them all" said James with a warm smile.
"Thanks. I'm glad to have them too" said Ryder as he smiled.
"So what do you guys feel like doing this afternoon?" asked Chase as he smiled & wagged his tail.
"I don't know. I haven't given it much thought" said Marshall in an uncertain voice.
"We could always stay here & hang out. That'd be fun" said Rocky.
"I'd prefer going to the park. There's a lot more space there to run around in" said Rubble with an amused chuckle.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go" said Skye as she excitedly did a back flip.
"To the park we go" said Zuma as everyone headed to the park. James smiled the whole way there. The sight of town from the bridge was amazing. It was something James found fascinating.
"Wow we have a really good view of Adventure Bay from here. The ocean looks beautiful as well. I can tell I'm going to love it here" said James as he eagerly looked around.
"I'm sure you will. Everyone here will be excited to meet you" said Angel.
"I hope so. I bet you have lots of friends here Mayabella" said James with a curious smile.
"I sure do. The people who live here are all wonderful. You'll fit right in" said Mayabella in a confident tone.
"I'll take your word for it" said James as everyone arrived at the park. They all proceeded to spend the rest of the afternoon playing together & having a great time. James never felt so happy before. Despite only being in town for a few hours he was already growing fond of Adventure Bay.
"What a beautiful town Adventure Bay is. I'm excited to get to know everyone & check out everything there is to do here. Being away from Meadow Heights makes me feel like a bird that's been freed from a cage & allowed to fly anywhere. I look forward to staying here with Mayabella & Scrap" thought James as everyone continued playing together. Soon it was time to go home. Everyone went their separate ways & headed home to settle down for the evening. After James, Mayabella & Scrap got home Mayabella went straight into the kitchen to get a start on dinner. She decided to make some spaghetti Bolognese. After grabbing the pasta, meat & sauce she began cooking them. The enticing aroma of the food quickly filled the kitchen which made Mayabella more excited to eat. James & Scrap could smell the food cooking from the lounge & were also starting to feel hungry.
"That smells delicious. I can't wait to eat" said James with an excited smile.
"Me either. Mayabella's cooking up something tasty. It'll be love at 1ST bite" said Scrap as he licked his lips. Soon dinner was ready. Mayabella grabbed 3 bowls & forks before filling each bowl with spaghetti. She then went & placed 2 of the bowls on the table & the 3rd on the floor before calling to James & Scrap.
"Dinner's ready" said Mayabella.
"Coming" said James as he & Scrap entered the dining room. Upon seeing the spaghetti they smiled in delight.
"Yay we're having spaghetti. That's 1 of my favourite meals" said Scrap as he rubbed his stomach with his paw.
"Dig in guys" said Mayabella as James, herself & Scrap tucked into their meal. The pasta had a good texture that was complimented well with the tomato flavoring of the Bolognese sauce. James, Mayabella & Scrap happily gobbled down their food before rinsing out their dishware in the sink & putting them in the dishwasher. James then stretched & let out a yawn.
"I'm going to bed. It's been a long day & I feel tired" said James.
"OK. Goodnight James" said Mayabella as James went to his room. He changed into his pajamas before getting in bed. As he lay awake he thought about what it'd be like living in Adventure Bay.
"Getting to live here will be awesome as long as nothing goes wrong. I have to keep my Cocerojuana stash hidden from everyone. If they find out it'll only cause major problems. The last thing I need is for everyone to start endlessly bugging me about my addiction. It's best they remain oblivious to it. Right now it seems nobody even suspects that I've got a stash hidden under my pillow. That's where it'll stay. No matter what happens I'm going to make sure my secret remains undiscovered" thought James as he fell asleep.
