Adventure bay… such a simplistic town. Everyone knows each other, a lot if local businesses, and the top county in New Jersey. All of the other county's all have tried to take Adventure Bay's throne but have failed. One failed so bad, that they keep trying. And that county was Foggy Bottoms. The only problem that Adventure Bay had, was that there was no Christmas spirit. Except that would all change on December 17th.

-Morning-

"Yawn!" Chase woke up at around 6. He always got up early to make sure everyone was on time in case for a mission. Except, he just let everyone be.

"Hmm… where's Ryder today?" Chase always wondered where Ryder was in the mornings. Was he in the garage? In the lookout? Not even here? It was a matter of surprise.

"Bilp. Hey Chase, if you're awake, come meet me in the lookout, no time for hide and seek." Ryder said over his tag.

"Coming!" Chase spoke back and ran out of his pup house and into the lookout.

"Man, I can't believe that Adventure Bay doesn't celebrate Christmas. Hopefully me and the pups can change that." Ryder kept thinking of ideas to bring some spirit into the town.

"Ding."

"That's Chase!" Ryder turned around. He was in shock. For some reason, Chase was wearing a santa hat with is logo on it.

"Something wrong sir?" Chase asked with his head tilted to the right.

"Ch-chase. What are you wearing?" Ryder asked.

"Oh this. Marshall got this for me. Well, Rocky made it for him, but he gifted it to me." Chase then blushed lightly, but not enough for Ryder to notice.

"You know, that will work. Chase, for the rest if the month that hat is a requirement for you to wear." Ryder said.

"Yes! This santa hat is so comfortable. Wait, we aren't on track. Why did you call me sir?" Chase asked, wagging his tail.

"Oh yeah, I called you up here to see if you can help give me ideas to put Christmas in this town. It has been three years, and I haven't seen a single Christmas tree." Ryder then sat down to Chase's level, bummed out.

"I don't know sir. The mayor wants nothing to with Christmas. I don't know what happened but it seems like the town had Christmas, but then they don't celebrate it no more. Where's the spirit?" Chase then proceeded to ask.

"Nice you gave me an idea Chase!" Ryder jumped up.

"We haven't had a mission in awhile. But that is all about to change!" Ryder then started texting on his pup pad.

"W-what do you mean by that?" Chase asked a bit nervous.

"Blip." Chase's tag rang.

"Who is calling you Chase? It is like six thirty." Ryder questioned when he looked up from his tablet.

"I-um. I-I… I need a minute." Chase got a bit red.

"Ok then, be right back." Ryder then went back to texting.

"Marshall. I am up at the top of the lookout, what do you need?" Chase whispered at the slide.

"I was just wondering where you are. When you are done up there, can we have a chat?" Marshall asked.

"Is it good or bad?" Chase got even more nervous.

"I-it depends on your answer." Marshall then hung up.

"Please tell me Marshall, that you are not hurt." Chase got worried a bit. He started shaking.

"You ok there Chase. Chase? Chase!" Ryder yelled.

-Blackout-

"1, 2, 3, 4. Magic!" Is what Chase heard when he woke up in a soft bed.

"W-what is going on?" Chase asked getting used to the light.

Once everyone stopped giggling, Marshall soon heard him speak.

"You kinda blacked out. Ryder called me up to come rescue you. Like you were going to die?" Marshall shrugged jokingly.

"Yeah, like I will die." Chase then sat up, and felt the dryness in his mouth.

"Well guys, he seems to be ok. You can go back to your areas!" Marshall called everyone away.

Chase was struggling to remember what had happened a few hours ago. He could, however, remember his birthday, but he already knew he was 7 years old. All he really could make out was when Marshall asked to see him.

"Ah, man. All I can remember for today was, that you needed to chat with me." Chase tried to think harder, but nothing.

"Oh y-yeah. So a really quick question to begin with." Marshall said.

"Ask away." Chase responded, grogily.

"Do you want a short story or a long story?"

"Well, since my brain isn't functioning right now, let's do short explanation." Chase got nervous again.

"Well, I just need to address. Your blood pressure is rising, so calm down a bit. And, the reason why I called you was, wr have been good friends for a long time now. I just, want to know you more. Like, I want to know how you love. That may seem weird, however, I saw how you are around Skye. And you do around the same to me. You have never noticed, but I cherish those moment. And I was wondering Chase, I was wondering if you that I-I love you." Marshall then blushed hard. He looked away.

"Marsh. I… I am at a loss of words. You know about me liking Skye. You know that I am getting closer. I mean, I had a plan for puppies. You know what, I need to try everything at least once. So screw it, I do love you Marshall, and show me how you love." Chase then smiled.

"Heheh." Marshall laughed a bit when he said show me how you love.

"What did I do something wrong?" Chase asked.

"No, it is just, what you said was a bit pervy." Marshall giggled and sat down next to Chase with his soft brown fur.

"This is a bit werid, but it does feel nice." Chase then nuzzled Marshall on the nose.

-At Foggy Bottoms-

"Gah! We can never win." The mayor yelled.

"Sir, you know one challenge that we can win." His secretary told him.

"And will you please be a kind soul and tell me, now!" The mayor yelled slamming his fist.

"Ever since Adventure Bay had the Christmas incident, they don't like to celebrate it no more."

The mayor laughed.

"Indeed. I have a plan in mind. And I need some help." The mayor just smiled.

"What do you mean by that sir?" His secretary asked.

"I need you to make me a phone call." The mayor then passed over a phone number. His secretary called it.

-2nd floor of the Lookout-

Inside the second floor was Ryder's office. He had a stack of papers and a lot of weird stuff he keeps around. Like Chase's baby tooth, actually all of the pups first baby tooths. He also keep old tags that he had made when the team first joined. Chase was originally going to be a fire pup, and Marshall be a police pup, but they excelled at each others job so, he switched them. Aside from the origin of this office, Ryder was brainstorming ideas. The Mayor for Adventure Bay wouldn't help the team spread the spirit. And she wouldn't tell them why.

"What went down on Christmas day?" Ryder thought.

"Blip. Hey Ryder, is it ok if I come in the office?" Marshall called.

"Come on up, I need a hand. Or, well paw." Ryder then hung up and went back to writing. His plan was to call every pup he had, including Everest and Tracker, to help and put up Christmas trees, lights, and wear Christmas clothing. Skye would throw on the star once everyone met at the middle of the town, securing the spirit in everyone's heart for good.

"Hey Ryder!" Marshall came up quickly.

"Oh jeez!" Ryder yelled when his pencil slipped and caught it midair.

"Sorry Ryder. Anyway, before I tell you, do you need me to do anything." Marshall asked, getting nervous.

"No not really. I just need an idea real quick." Ryder waited.

"Well, we can try and get a defense team, or like distract the mayor so we can do your plan." Marshall made a point.

"Do you even know the plan?" Ryder asked.

"No, but I assume it has to do with putting decorations all over the area." Marshall said.

"Yeah. So what did you need to tell me?" Ryder asked.

"So, you know how I asked if you could tolerate gay partners?" Marshall asked putting his head down to hide his red face.

"Yes. What did you do?" Ryder asked kneeling down at the spotted pups highet.

"You probably won't believe me, but I asked Chase out." Marshall bit his lip.

"Ma-Marsh. You asked out… The second in command?" Ryder stood up in another shock.

"He said yes. And he does love me, we cuddled." Marshall then teared up. Ryder didn't notice, but Chase was standing inside the elevator in case Marshall broke out. He jumped in quickly and cheered him up.

"Hey it's ok buddy. It is hard to admit it." Chase patted him.

"So, you two are together. Great! Because I can now tell Katie that she doesn't need to help with puppies." Ryder said sitting back down at his desk.

"Wait, hold that thought. What if we, took care a pup? Maybe in the future?" Marshall asked teary eyed.

"Hmm… let me think about it guys." Ryder said.

"Blip, blip."

"What? We weren't supposed to be called today, must be a major rescue." Ryder picked up the tablet and answered.

"Come on Marsh, let's go and grab our uniforms!' Chase helped Marshall over to the elevator.

"Hello? Ryder speaking."

"Is this, uh… click. The Paw Patrol!" A voice said very quickly.

"Yes, need help?" Ryder asked with a brow up.

"I got stuck on Jake's mountain, and I lost my way back up. I need help, and fast!" The voice trembled.

"Alright then. PAW Patrol to the Lookout!" Ryder called and tapped the button to call everyone up.

"Oh, you two are already ready. Good, let's go above." said Ryder as the trio entered the elevator.
