It was a normal sunny day in Adventure Bay and Valerie was getting ready to go for a jog.

She barely had a day with no emergencies and decided to go for a jog with her headphones to past the time.

Valerie walked to the door next to hers.

She held her blue headphones in her hand as she entered his room.

"Ryder."

"(Snore)."

She smiled and reached over and shook him a bit.

"What?" he said waking up so fast it surprised her.

"Good Morning." she said moving her bangs out of her face.

"Hey." he said giving her a smile. He loved seeing her in the morning.

"I'm going for a jog... I'll be back in about an hour."

"Alright." he said covering himself with his blanket again.

"Hey!" she said pulling them back down."I need you to feed the pups."

"Okay I'll be right... down."

"I know your tired but they don't have disposable thumbs to get food on their own... well they have Rockys' arm atachments."

"Seeeee...their fine."

"Get up!" she said before exiting . She closed the door and shook her head with a smile at his stubborn attitude.

She raced downstairs and went out to the pup houses.

"I hope Marshall is still in place." she said laughing at the thought of him riding a whale as he sleep walked.

"Rocky Chase Rubble Skye Zuma and Marshall!" she yelled from outside the houses.

They all came out except Marshall who simply snored away.

Valerie gave him a warm smile."Did I forget to mention ...breakfast?" in a matter-a-fact voice.

"What... breakfast! I'm coming!" Marshall said ambsent mindedly running out of his pup house.

Crashing into Valerie sending her to the ground.

"Marshall..." she said picking him up and removing a blind fold around his face.

"Whoops sorry... Good Morning." he said sheepishly stepping away.

"Good Morning Marshall." she said getting up and dusting off her pants.

"Hey Valerie."said Skye walking up to Valerie.

"Hey Skye." Valerie said sweetly removing the roller from the cockapoos' bangs.

"Thank you." Skye said happily walking into the Lookout for breakfast.

"Who turned out the lights!" Rubble yelled as he stumble around with a sleepmask. Walking over to the bridge leading to Adventure Bay.

"Woah, there you go." she said picking him off his paws before he got hit by a car.

"Thanks Valerie." Rubble said as she removed the sleeping mask from his face.

"This might be dangerous for you pups. I'm going to build a gate. Just to be safe she said placing him down as they walked over to the other pups.

"Valerie why are you dressed up?" Rocky said noticing she didn't have her usual uniform.

"Oh this I'm just going for a jog." she said with a smile

"Pups if Ryder isn't down in 5 minutes I give you permission to get on his bed to wake him up." she said with a laugh. Ryder hated it when the pups jumped up and down on his sheets.

Valerie put on her head phones and started jogging her ponytail flipping in the wind. She had her usual smile on her face.

"Good Morning Mayor!" she said jogging over to the Mayor that was having trouble with a crate.

"Oh hi dear."

"Do you need some help." Valerie said walking over.

"Oh no need I have Cap't Turbot coming over to help."

"Well alright have a good day." she said turning on her music once again.

Valerie had been running for a while until she realized her path was blocked by a crowd of citizens.

"Well I guess I could go... over." she said looking up to see the street lights.

She charged and jumped up to the lights swinging off one to grab the next she flipped and tumble rolled back down to the ground and continued her run as if it were nothing.

She pulled out her pup pad to change the song but didn't expect the following impact it was so hard it made her slide back on her elbow.

"Ah." she said looking at her elbow that was bleeding at a alarming rate.

"Watch where your going!" a girl said looking down on Valerie with dark emerald eyes.

"Oh I'm sorry. It was my fault." Valerie said getting up and dusting herself off and grabbing hold of her held out her hand for a hand shake but retreated when the girl looked mad.

"You bet it was YOUR fault...idiot."

"Hey calm down, I said sorry." Valerie said noticing this girl was bad news.

"Yeah sorry doesn't cut it." the girl said pushing Valerie.

"Listen I'm not looking for trouble and you need to drop the attitude." Valerie said trying to turn around and leave.

"I'm not done with you!" the girl said grabbing Valeries' arm and pulling over again.

"Well I'm done with you!" Valerie said trying to walk away again.

But once again she was stopped but this time the girl through a punch. Weak impact but enough to make Valerie feel the pain.

Valerie was a very calm person I mean you have to be to live with 6 pups and a boy, but this girl was ticking her off.

"Ugh..." Valerie said recovering from the hit."Listen I don't know what your problem is or who you are but..."

"But nothing." the girl said walking up to Valerie."You piece of garbage." the girl practically spat out."

"BACK OFF!" Valerie said trying to restrain herself from punching this little brat.

Valerie yelling in anger caught alot of peoples attention. Everyone seemed to turn to the scene and noticed that Valerie was dripping blood from her arm.

"I'm Joysie by the way. And don't forget it." the girl said leaning close to Valerie. Big mistake.

"I said back off." Valerie said in a hostile voice before slapping her so hard it echoed.

"Oww." the girl said stepping back.

Valerie didn't waste anytime. She walked away, ignoring all the worried looks.

No one in Adventure Bay had ever seenn her angry or hurt something or someone on purpose.

She walked for about 5 minutes until she was stopped by Mayor Goodway.

"Hey! Valerie are you okay... your bleeding." she said from beside Cap't Turbot.

"I'm fine." Valerie said not bothering to look at the Mayor.

She had walked for about 20 minutes until she reached the Lookout.

Meanwhile the pups were playing in the yard.

"Hey pass me the ball!" Marshall said running to the side.

"Here it comes!" Rocky said tossing him the ball best he could.

Suddenly a scent caught all their attention. Blood.

"Woah. Is some one hurt?" Chase said walking over to the pups that had all gathered.

"Nope were all good." Skye said sniffing the air.

"Its coming from that direction." Marshall said pointing to the bridge just that second Valerie emerged.

"Valerie dude whats wrong!?" Zuma said as all the pups ran up to her.

"I'm fine I just..." Valerie didn't know why but she felt like her little encounter didn't concern the pups."I just slipped."

"That doesn't look like a simple slip." Marshall said looking at her elbow.

"Well it is." Valerie said walking into the Lookout.

"Hey Valerie... what happened?" Ryder said walking over and checking her arm.

"Nothing."

"That doesn't look like nothing."

"Well it is!" Valerie said with a little temper before going upstairs and patching herself up.

Valerie from that moment on had a bully.
