After hearing that the other pups use to have a crush on Skye, Chase became a bit depressed about it. He felt that what he and Skye had wasn't real. It was a possible chance that she could have fallen for any of the other pups and not him. He believed that he was only lucky to have her. For the time, he sat in his pup house all sad and depressed. The other pups were still with him to try to comfort him.

"Chase. Come on buddy." Marshall said to Chase.

"We really need to talk about this." Rocky pleaded.

"There is nothing to talk about." Chase said still down. "You all had a crush on Skye and never told me."

"HAD!" Zuma said. "None of us feel that way anymore."

"We still care about her of course." Rubble admitted. "But as a friend and a part of our family. Just like we do for you Chase."

"Why are you taking this so serious?" Rocky said.

"You just don't get it." Chase stated. "No one will ever get it."

Chase then closed the door of his dog house.

"Chase!" Rocky shouted.

"Come on Chase! Open up." Marshall pleaded.

It was useless. Chase obviously didn't want to talk to the others anymore. While the boys still knocked on Chase door hoping he would open up, Skye walked towards them.

"Hey pups!" Skye said to them. The boys all reacted shocked. They didn't want to tell her what was up with Chase yet.

"Skye!" The boys shouted.

"He...Hey Skye!" Marshall said nervously.

"What are you all doing around Chase's pup house?" Skye asked.

"Umm...well..." Rubble said trying to come up with something.

"We were...talking to Chase, but Chase seems to be a little sick. So he closed his door, not wanting us to get sick too." Zuma said, which was a lie.

"Sick? He was fine this morning." Skye said. "It must be because of the weather."

"Yeah! That's it." Marshall said. "As a med pup, he needs his rest."

"Alright. I guess I'll talk to him later then." Skye said. "Tell him I hope he feels better."

With that said, Skye left.

"*sigh* I really don't like lying." Zuma whispered.

"Well we can't tell her what's REALLY wrong with Chase." Rocky whispered back. "Not now."

"I know Skye truly cares for Chase." Marshall said. "I just hope he sees it too."

The pups nodded agreeing with what Marshall said. Chase, in his dog house was still down and upset. Yet, all he could think about over and over again was Skye. Poor Chase. Meanwhile, Jake and Everest were still on a hike. Everest was still a little red cheeked.

"Hmm...What do I do?" Everest thought to herself. "So I talk to Jake about Marshall?"

"Something on your mind Everest?" Jake asked her.

"Uhhh...well..." Everest still didn't know if she could tell him. But she decided why not. "It's about you hearing me mention about Marshall."

"What? You mean your little crush?" Jake said smirking a bit.

"I...HE'S...MARSHALL IS NOT MY LITTLE CRUSH?" Everest shouted with a red face.

"Uh huh. Really?" Jake said not believing her. "You are going to tell me you DON'T like Marshall at all?"

"N...no! That's not true." Everest said. "I do like Marshall."

"So do you 'like' him?" Jake asked.

"I...can't say." Everest said.

"Well, what's one thing you like about him?" Jake asked.

"Well, he's one of the nicest pups I've ever met. He's really sweet, smart, and knows how to take care of anyone in trouble." Everest said. But she also continues to say more. "Not to mention he's so brave. Even if he's clumsy and a quite a silly pup, he always makes me laugh."

"I...only asked for one thing. Not a list." Jake stated.

"Oh...right." Everest said blushing.

"It sounds like someone's in love." Jake said teasing her. Everest face once again went completely red after hearing Jake say that.

"W...w...what? L...lo...love?" Everest stuttered. "But...I...I don't think..."

"Come on Everest. It's obvious that you're in love with him. So you shouldn't hide it." Jake said.

"Saying that I 'love' Marshall is a bit overboard." Everest said still red face. "I just think he's...really nice...and...I wouldn't mine being with him."

"That's love Everest." Jake stated. "It's as clear as day that you love Marshall."

"Love's still a strong word." Everest said. "But still, what should I do?"

"See where faith takes you." Jake said. "If you and Marshall are meant to be together, it will happen sooner or later."

"See where faith takes me?" Everest said to herself.

While she was still thinking about things, Everest and Jake heard a loud animal shout.

"Huh? What was that?" Everest asked.

"It shouted like a deer." Jake said. "Male deer by the sound of it."

"Let's check it out." Everest said.

Jake and Everest dash through the snow to the direction of the sound. To their surprised they find two deer. A buck and a doe. The buck seem to have his antlers stuck in some branches of a dead tree and continue get out. The doe look like she was trying to help, but no luck.

"Oh no. That's poor deer got his antlers stuck in that tree." Jake said.

"Isn't that the same deer that we helped before?" Everest said.

"I think you're right." Jake said. "Looks like they need our help again. Come on. Let's see if we can help him out."

Jake and Everest got close to the buck to try to help him.

"Hey buddy! Remember us?" Jake said to the buck. The buck tried nodding his head, but he was still stuck. "Don't worry. We'll help you out."

Jake try to pull the branches, but they were too strong.

"If these are the same deer as before, where's their baby deer?" Everest asked.

"Guess she's missing." Jake stated "These branches are a little too strong. I think we are gonna need some more help."

Jake got out his Smartphone and was getting ready to call Ryder. During the time, Ryder was looking at the snow and having some hot chocolate.

"Such a nice snowy day." Ryder said. "Except for the cold, it's a pretty good day."

At that moment, his pup pad rang.

"Just when I thought I could take a break." Ryder said before answering his pup pad. "Hello? Ryder here."

"Ryder, dude. It's Jake." Jake said.

"Hey Jake! What's up?" Ryder asked.

"Remember our deer pals? Well Everest and I found the buck stuck on the branches of a tree." Jake explained.

"Oh no. The poor guy." Ryder responded.

"The doe is really worried about him. Also, it seem that their baby deer is missing since she's not with them." Jake said.

"So we need to help free the buck as well as find their baby deer?" Ryder said. "Seems tough, but don't worry, the pups and I will help anyway we can."

"Thanks dude." Jake said.

"No job is too big. No pup is too small" Ryder shouted. Then he pulled on his pup pad and push the button calling all the other pups. "Paw Patrol, to the lookout."

The pups all hear Ryder's call.

"Ryder needs us." The pups except Chase said.

"Huh. I guess I'm needed." Chase said still down.

The pups all ran to the lookout down, except Chase who walked REALLY slowly. Marshall happen to slip on some ice and went sliding to the elevator.

"Woooooaaaahhh!" Marshall shouted still sliding. Then he crashed into the elevator.

"Ugghhh..." Marshall said with his face in the screen wall.

"Well, at least he didn't crash into any of us." Rocky stated.

Skye, Rubble, and Zuma reacted by laughing. As they got in position, they realized that one pup was still missing.

"Hey. Where's Chase?" Skye asked. "Is he still sick?"

The boys all have nervous looks. They still didn't tell Skye what was REALLY wrong with Chase. Chase finally came to the down, but was still moving slowly.

"Come on Chase. We really need to move it." Skye said.

"I'll move at my own speed." Chase said not to happy.

He finally made it to the elevator, but with a serious look. Not good serious, but mad serious.

"Chase, is something wrong?" Skye asked.

"I'm fine." Chase said not sounding fine.

"Are you really? The others told me you were sick." Skye said.

"We didn't say he was...SICK sick." Zuma said nervously.

"Come on elevator, go up." Mumbled a nervous Marshall.

"What do they mean, Chase?" Skye asked.

"Don't worry about it. It's nothing." Chase said still sounding mad.

"Hurry up elevator." Mumbled Marshall still nervous about the current situation.

"It doesn't sound like nothing." Skye said serious. "Now what's wrong?"

Chase stayed silent. Skye was starting to get a little angry with him. But then she looked at how the other pups were reacting. She then started thing about things and figured out why Chase was acting the way he was.

"Did...the others told you that they used to have a crush on me?" Skye asked.

Chase, as well as Marshall, Zuma, Rocky, and Rubble mouths all dropped to hear her say that. They were surprised that she knew.

"You knew?" Chase said surprised.

"Chase, I was the only girl at the time before Everest showed up." Skye said. "It not surprising that more than a few of you would have a crush on me."

"Seriously? You knew this whole time that the other guys liked you?" Chase said a little ticked.

"Why is this elevator NOT going up!?" Marshall shouted not wanting more drama.

"Chase, we told you already. We're over her now." Rocky said.

"We like her as our friend and family. That's it." Zuma said.

"It's you she wants to be with." Rubble said.

"Yeah Chase. I'm with you. Doesn't that matter to you?" Skye asked Chase.

"Not if it means it's only because I made the first move." Chase stated. "For all I know, you could have just fall someone else."

Skye was started to get angry with Chase.

"Is that what you really think?" Skye said angrily. "Do you really think I don't care for you the same way you do for me?"

"I don't know what to believe anymore. I just don't." Chase said looking down.

This made everyone silent. Skye looked away from Chase. She definitely wasn't happy with Chase right now. The guys felt REALLY awkward.

"Awkward." Marshall said. Then the elevator finally activates. "Oh NOW it goes up."

The elevator goes up and the pups switch to their gear. Marshall had on his Medical gear. The elevator makes it to the top and all the pups get into position. Except Chase who was still on the elevator.

"Uhh...Chase?" Ryder said.

Chase, still down, slowly walked over to his position between Rocky and Rubble.

"Paw Patrol...ready for...action...Ryder...sir." Chase said without feeling.

"Chase? Is something wrong?" Ryder asked.

"We'll kinda in a...situation." Rocky said.

"What? Did he found out you guys used to like Skye?" Ryder asked.

"Seriously? You knew too?" Chase said shocked and ticked. "Did everyone know but me?"

"Can we please focus on what's important?" Ryder said.

"Okay sir." Chase said getting back his focus.

"We got a call from Jake. He said that the deer that we helped before are having a bit of a problem." Ryder said. "The buck got his antlers stuck to the branches of a tree and can't get out."

The pups all gasped hearing that.

"What's more is that their baby deer is missing. We not only need to help free the buck, but also fine the baby deer." Ryder explained.

"The baby might be cold work hurt." Marshall stated. "We need to help them."

"For this mission, I need..." Ryder than scrolled on his pup pad and stop at Chase's icon. "Chase, I need you and your wrench. Maybe we can use it to pull out the branches freeing the deer. We may also need your tracking skills to help find the baby deer."

"Alright. Chase is on the case." Chase said.

Ryder then scrolled to Skye's icon. "Skye, I need you and your copter to help find the baby deer. She shouldn't be too far from her parents." Ryder said.

"Let's take to the skies." Skye said doing a flip as always.

"A mission with Skye. Great." Chase said in a down tone.

"Come on Chase. At least doing this for the deer." Rubble said.

"Right. Okay. I'll hold my feelings for now." Chase said.

Ryder then scrolled to Marshall's icon. "Marshall, in case the deer is injured, I need you and you med gear. They might be cold and hungry, so some food and blankets could help them feel better."

"Ready for a ruff ruff rescue." Marshall said.

"Also, Everest will also help us out any way she can." Ryder said.

"Everest..." Marshall said to himself.

"Dude, this could be your chance." Zuma said to Marshall.

"Yeah! So I'm not going to waste it." Marshall said.

"Even if things are awkward for Skye and me now, I have to get over it to help Marshall with Everest. It's the least that I can do." Chase thought.

"Alright! Paw Patrol is on a roll." Ryder said before heading the down the pole.

Chase, Skye and Marshall all slid down the slide and landed on their doghouse. Their doghouses then transform into their rides and they were on the move. Ryder came out from the garage door with his ATV ready and the four all drove to Jake's mountain. Rocky, Zuma, and Rubble, who were still at the lookout, were still worried about Chase.

"I really hope things work out for Chase and Skye." Rubble said.

"Me too. The two were meant for each other. I just Chase still sees that." Zuma said.

"That and I hope that Everest actually likes Marshall." Rocky said. "So let's hope everything works out."

Well, it looks like Ryder and the pups are on their way to help Jake and Everest with the deer. Will Chase be able to put things back together with Skye? Will Marshall and Everest have the guts to tell each other how they feel? Guess you will have to find out next time.
