It was a typical day in Adventure Bay. The pups had be awoken by Chase and had just finished breakfast. They were about to go outside when Ryder called Marshall on his pup tag.

"Marshall" said Ryder "I have a call for you in the control room."

"Coming Ryder" said Marshall "I'll catch up to you in a minute guys"

Marshall ran to the elevator and rode up to the control room where Ryder was waiting. As Marshall approached he saw a face he had not seen since the fire academy.

"Billy, uh I mean Chief" said Marshall "Is that really you?"

"Sure is Marshall" said Billy "I was just talking to Ryder here. We've heard a lot about the Paw Patrol and a few of us would like to come visit and check out your operations."

"Wow" said Marshall "That's incredible, I can't wait. Uh, that is if it's alright with you Ryder"

"Of course it is Pup" said Ryder "Chief Blazes, when should we expect you?"

"Ha, Ryder you can just call me Billy" laughed Billy "We should be there sometime tomorrow. Do you have room or do we need to make arrangements?"

"No we'll make room for you and your team" said Ryder "I look forward to meeting your team. I've heard a lot about you."

"We'll see you tomorrow" said Billy cutting the call.

Ryder opened his Paw pad and pressed the alert button "Paw Patrol to the Lookout"

"Ryder needs us" yelled the pups running for the Lookout.

As the elevator reached the control room, the pups jumped into place and Marshall moved to his.

"Paw Patrol Ready for Action, Ryder Sir!" said Chase

"Pups thanks for coming so quickly" Ryder said "It's not a rescue, but it is a mission so to speak. Some of you may have heard of the rescue team from Mountain Action Command Center."

"The Rescue Heroes!" said Rubble "Their awesome"

"Correct Rubble" Ryder continued "Their Chief Billy, knows Marshall from the Fire Academy"

"He was my favorite instructor" said Marshall

"Anyway" said Ryder "They are coming to visit and see us in action. I want you all to double check your vehicles and equipment. Then I need you to clean this place up and be ready for inspection by noon tomorrow. They should be here tomorrow afternoon."

"Whoa, That's so cool" said Zuma

"I wonder if they will bring Smokey" said Marshall

"Well pups, you know what to do" said Ryder "Let me know if there are any problems"

The pups scrambled to do their assignments. Each was checking and washing their vehicles. Once Rocky finished his we went to each vehicle and checked the technology. They worked through lunch and finally as supper time came around they ran to the Lookout where Ryder had fixed a great dinner.

"You pups are working so hard" said Ryder "I thought you deserved a good meal."

The pups agreed by diving into their food and all asking for seconds.

After supper they all worked together to get the Lookout inspection ready. They went to bed that night with excitement of meeting the Rescue Heroes tomorrow.

Morning came and as Chase was walking his morning routine patrol of the area he found Marshall sitting on the rise overlooking the bay.

"Marshall?" chase said as he approached the dalmatian.

"Oh, Yeah Chase" said Marshall, somewhat sadly

"Is something wrong?" asked Chase

"Not really" said Marshall

"Come on" said Chase "You're my best friend. I can tell something's bothering you."

"Chase I know it's silly but I worried about The Rescue Heroes coming" said Marshall

"I thought you loved those guys" said Chase "Do you not want to see them?"

"No it's not that" explained Marshall "It's just that I haven't seen Chief Blazes since the academy. I'm still just as clumsy as I was back then. What if he's disappointed with what I have become?"

"Disappointed?" said Chase "If he is half the person you said he was, he'd never be disappointed with you. You're great at what you do. As far as you being clumsy, Marshall that's one of the things I love the most about you."

"It's just they are so awesome and …"said Marshall quietly "I don't know"

"Listen Marshall" said Chase "Our team is known all over the country. We have saved countless people and animals. I for one am very proud of our team and all it's members. I'm sure The Rescue Heroes will be as well. I don't think they would be coming to see us if they thought we weren't any good."

"You're probably right" said Marshall

"Hey, if it means anything" said Chase "If my lead instructor from the police academy came to visit, I'd problem feel the same way."

"Thanks Chase" said Marshall

"I'm going to go wake the pups" said Chase "You got get breakfast, It's going to be a great day"

Marshall ran to the Lookout and Chase stared at the dally as he ran off. Chase then turned and went to wake up the pups.

Everyone gathered for breakfast and as they finished Ryder began speaking.

"Pups" Ryder started "You've all done an outstanding job of getting the Lookout ready. I think we can proudly say we are ready to receive our guests."

"The Lookout looks fantastic" Skye said as she did a backflip.

"Rocky even took a bath" laughed Marshall

"Even I want to look my best" laughed Rocky

"Now the worst part" said Chase

"What's that?" asked Rubble

"Waiting for them to get here" Chase answered

They didn't have to wait long until the Rescue Heroes Jet came into view and landed on the Lookout lawn. Ryder and the pups went out to welcome their guests. As the ramp came down they observed 5 men and 1 woman walk down the ramp. Marshall stepped forward to welcome the one member he knew.

"Welcome Chief Blazes and the Rescue Heroes to Adventure Bay" said Marshall

"Yes welcome" said Ryder "It is our honor to have you visit"

"Thank you all for you hospitality" said Chief Blazes "Marshall it's great to see you again. We're not at the Academy now, you can just call me Billy. Let me introduce the members I've brought with me." Each member stepped forward as he introduced them.

"This is Wendy Waters, she is a fellow firefighter as well as a great pilot" Billy started "This is

Jake Justice, Law Enforcement. This is Jack Hammer, he is our construction expert. This is Rocky Canyon, he does high angle and mountain rescue. And finally this is Gil Gripper, he does water rescue."

"Once again welcome each of you" said Ryder "Now let me introduce you to my team." Ryder named each pup nod explained their specialty. Ryder further explained that they had one other pup named Everest that lived up on Jake's Mountain and did snow and wilderness rescues. Ryder said Everest would be down later for dinner. Ryder let everyone into the Lookout we he had refreshments while everyone talked and got acquainted. After a while Ryder lead everyone on a tour of the Lookout and then had each pup explain their vehicle and pup packs to everyone. Ryder took everyone back to the Lookout Control Room and explained how they received calls and how he recalled the pups for assignments.

"I must say" said Billy "Your setup and procedures are much like ours. We operate with mission select packs much like the pup packs your team uses. Each person has multiple packs that are mission and task specific. All of our equipment is designed and built by our equipment designer Pat Pending."

"I initially built our equipment" said Ryder "But Rocky here now designed and improves our equipment. His imagination seems unlimited."

"That is great" said Billy "Shall we go out to our jet and I'll show you the equipment we carry on a regular basis?"

"That would be awesome" all the pups agreed.

Billy, Ryder and the pups all walked out to the jet. The other Rescue Heroes were carrying their bags to the rooms Ryder had assigned to them. Blaze walked everyone through the jet showing the equipment they carried and the vehicles that had on board. The pups were amazed at the equipment and the fact that they did have a lot of the same equipment.

"I guess one of the big differences is Rescue Heroes respond worldwide and have many members other than just the main core group" Billy said "We usually only call on those members for special circumstances."

"We like that fact that we mainly cover Adventure Bay" laughed Marshall "But it is cool that you help people anywhere"

"Well Billy" said Ryder "Your jet and equipment are awesome. We better let you get settled in your room. We're having dinner out here on the grounds later this evening. I figure they mayor and citizens of Adventure Bay would like to meet you as well."

"Sounds good Ryder" said Billy "I'll get the guys rounded up and meet you out here. Let me know if you need anything."
