A/N: Hi, everyone. Starting the new chronological story now. Read, review and enjoy.

PUPS MEET A WILDLIFE PUP

STORY: It was an ordinary day in Adventure bay and Rocky was preparing himself. Today, he and Frostbite were going camping in the forest so, hopefully, Rocky will confess his feelings and ask Frostbite to be his girlfriend. Right now, he was finishing his preparations.

"Rocky, you ready?" Lilly asked her son as she came over.

"Ready as I'll ever be." Rocky replied.

"I can see that." Then, Lilly sniffed him and her eyes went wide. "You smell good. Did you take a new perfume?" She asked.

"Not really. I took a bath. I have to impress a girl." Rocky said proudly. Even if he feared water, he had to do it for Frostbite.

"Oh, okay. By the way, I heard that she is really ticklish, just in case you get a chance to do it." Lilly said.

"Really? Who told you that?"

"Everest did, but don't let her know that."

"Okay, see you." Rocky said as he drove off. As soon as he left, Lilly sighed. Just then, Raven comes over.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, just worried about him." Lilly admitted.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine. They both have their pup-tags in case something goes wrong." Raven reassured.

"I guess you're right. Let's go see what the others are doing." Raven nodded before both ran inside the Lookout. As they entered, they saw that Zen was against the wall while trying to get away from Aqua, who was intending to tickle her.

"Aqua, no. Don't do it. I don't…" Aqua cut her off by tackling her to the ground and pinning her on her back. Zen knew that if she starts tickling too much, she'll be embarrassed in front of everyone. But before she could call for help, Aqua began tickling her.

"Ahhahahahahahaha! A-Aqua! Hahahahaha! Please, stohohohohop! Ahahahahahaha!" Zen begged through laughter. It went on for 15 seconds until Aqua felt someone tickling her.

"Ahhahahahahahaha! Hey, who's tihihihihicking me? Ahahahahahahahahaha! Zuhuhuhuhuma, that's not fuhuhuhuhunny! Ahhahahahahahahahaha!" Aqua exclaimed through laughter.

What she didn't know is that it wasn't her brother tickling her, but rather Skye. Zen saw her sister tickling the chocolate lab and took the opportunity to run outside.

Meanwhile, Rocky arrived to the forest and set up camp. All that was left was to wait for Frostbite to come. He didn't have to wait long because about a minute later he heard someone shout, "Rocky!" He turned around and saw Frostbite.

"Hey, Frostbite. How's it going?" He asked.

"Great. If you don't count my mom's checking to make sure I had everything." Frostbite answered.

"I see. Always worried about her children. My mom, however, doesn't show her worry, but I can see it." Rocky pointed out.

"Wow, no wonder they call you an intelligent pup. Anyway, could you help get this bag off my back?"

"Sure."

Once Rocky took the bag off, Frostbite began setting up the tent. Rocky asked her if he could help, but Frostbite declined. It took a while, but she managed to set it up.

"And… done!" Frostbite exclaimed as she finished.

"Wow, you're really good at this." Rocky praised.

"Thanks. Everest taught me how to set it up. I still can't believe that she knows so much more than me despite her age."

"How old are you?" Rocky asked.

"A year older than Everest."

"Man, an older sister is taught by a younger sister? Never would've imagined." Rocky replied in awe, but then he sighed.

"What's wrong, Rocky?" Frostbite asked.

"I just wish I had a sibling like you or everyone else." Rocky replied sadly.

"What do you mean?" Frostbite asked, tilting her head in confusion.

"Well, almost all my friends have at least one sibling, except Rubble. Chase has a brother, Marshall has a sister, Skye has a brother and a sister, Zuma has a sister, and even you and Everest are sisters. Seeing my friends with their siblings makes me a little jealous." Rocky explained with his head down.

Suddenly, he felt someone nuzzling him. He looked up and blushed a little when he saw it was Frostbite. When she pulled away, however, she could see the blush on Rocky's face and raised an eyebrow.

"You okay, Rocky? You look like you're heating up." She asked.

"N-nothing, I-I'm fine." Rocky stuttered. However, Frostbite tackled him to the ground. Only Everest knows it, but whenever she sees a problem within a pup, she'll figure it out at all cost, even if it meant tickling the host.

"F-Frostbite, what are you d-doing?" Rocky asked nervously.

"Rocky, tell me what's wrong or I'll have to tickle it out of you." Frostbite said with a smirk.

"I already told you, I'm fine. You don't…" Rocky was interrupted when Frostbite started tickling him. Unlike how her mother tickled Everest, she tickled the mix-breed full force, making him laugh hard.

"Ahahahahahahahahaha! Frohohohohostbite, stop! Hahahahahaha! That tihihihihickles! Ahahahahahaha!" Rocky yelled out through laughter. He squirmed and wiggled, but couldn't escape. Finally, after a few minutes, he gave up.

"Ahahahahahahahahaha! Okay, okahahahahay! Hahahahahahahahaha! You wihihihihihin, just stohohohohohop tickling mehehehehehe! Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" Rocky exclaimed as he laughed even harder. Frostbite stopped tickling him, but didn't jump off.

"Now, tell me what's wrong. And don't lie to me. You don't want me to tickle you again, do you?" Frostbite demanded.

"Okay, I'll tell you. But… I don't know how you'll react." Rocky replied.

"What? What are you saying?" Frostbite asked in confusion.

"The truth is… I, uh… I have a crush on you." Rocky stuttered, blushing like mad.

Frostbite was taken aback by what Rocky said, but before she could question…

"Frostbite, I… I l-love you." Rocky said nervously.

Frostbite gasped. "You… love me?"

Rocky nodded. "Yes, and if you don't feel the same way, it's…" Rocky was yet again interrupted, but this time with a kiss. Rocky was a little surprised, but returned the kiss. Once both pulled away, Frostbite spoke.

"I love you too, but I didn't know if you would feel the same way. Now I do, so I want to ask you… Will you… be my mate?" She asked with a blush.

Without warning, Rocky pulled her in for a hug as he spoke, "I wanted to ask you that, but yes. I would love to be your mate." As Rocky said that, both pups kissed, but this time it lasted longer.

That night, Rocky and Frostbite lit the fire and enjoyed roasting liver sausages. Once they had dinner, Frostbite got into the tent, but before she could prepare herself for bed, something jumped on her and pinned her on her back. She turned on the light set up in her tent to see Rocky on top of her with a smirk.

R-Rocky? What are you…?" Before she could finish, Rocky started tickling her. Unlike Frostbite, he didn't use full force, but rather tickling her all over her body.

"R-Rocky! Ahahahahahaha! Stohohohohohohop! Ahahahahahaha! That tihihihihihickles! Ahahahahahahahaha!" Frostbite exclaimed through laughter.

Rocky did stop after a few minutes, but just to say, "Not yet, this is for tickling me full force." before he continued. After 5 minutes, Frostbite was laughing like crazy, squirming and wiggling, trying to escape the tickle torture. Eventually, she gave up.

"Ahahahahahahaha! Okay, okahahahahay! Ahahahahahahaha! I've learned my lehehehehehesson, just-Ahahahahahaha! Make it stohohohohohop, I can't tahahahahahake it anymore! Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" Frostbite begged as she laughed even harder than at first.

Rocky stopped and jumped off the husky. After Frostbite caught her breath, she stood up and looked at her new mate.

"How did you know I was that ticklish?" She asked.

"Mom told me, but how she found that out is beyond me." Rocky replied.

"Oh, you sneaky pup. Anyway, let's get some sleep. Tomorrow, we can go for a walk." Frostbite suggested.

"Sure, goodnight, Frostbite."

"Goodnight, Rocky." Frostbite said before Rocky left the tent and she fell asleep. Rocky did as well a few minutes later.

A/N: It started off romantic and peacful, with Rocky finally confessing to Frostbite. See ya in the next chapter, everyone.
