Chapter 3

A/N: Sorry for not updating. I have been super busy with other stories, school, and work. I will start working on other stories as well as updating this one again. As well as that, I'm going to be wrapping up some other stories and I'm having some trouble coming up with other story ideas, so if you have any, leave it in the comments. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy!

Meanwhile, Marshall walked to the lookout with Sierra, who had started to doze off.

"Hey sleepy head, we're here!" said an excited Marshall.

"Wow!" said Sierra.

"This is where we do our missions, hang out, and sleep."

"Awesome!"

Marshall started to walk, but forgot that there was a portion of the Lookout that eroded and collapsed. This area was in the back field and Marshall fell down. Sierra was at the top and saw Marshall holding on to a branch sticking out from the ground. What neither of them noticed was that his pup tag turned on and Ryder was watching a live feed.

"Marshall, we need help."

"By the time you get help, I will fall." Said Marshall, holding onto the branch now.

Up at Jake's mountain, Ryder, Jake, and the pups were getting briefed, when the call came through. They all watched in horror at Marshall who was about to fall.

"Marshall, grab my paw!" yelled Sierra, reaching down with her good front paw. Ryder saw Sierra helping to rescue Marshall and knew that she would make a great addition to the then shook out of that state and saw the feed again. He looked over and saw Everest crying. Ryder walked over and started to scratch behind her ear.

"It's okay, Everest." Whispered Ryder into Everest's ear.

"Sierra, it's too far and I can't risk your injury to help me. Let me just try and climb up!"

Ryder, Jake, and the pups had their eyes glued to the screen as they were watching Marshall climb up. Since the branch was so far down, Marshall had a hard time. Back at the lookout, Marshall was putting all his strength into climbing up the cliff. When he was almost at the top, one of the rocks broke holding his back right leg. His back left leg slipped and he was dangling from the side.

"Marshall, grab my paw!" yelled Sierra. Marshall quickly grabbed it and climbed up. When he got to the top, Marshall was panting.

"Th-Th-Thank y-yo-you Sierra." Said Marshall. Sierra said nothing, only giving Marshall a hug. She released after about five seconds and let out a sigh.

"Please don't do that again…" said Sierra.

"I'm sorry, Sierra. Come on, we need to get you somewhere to rest."

Marshall picked up Sierra and he walked to the front of the lookout. He set her down in a soft patch of grass on the left side of the entrance. He then walked to the right side and sat down, watching over the lookout. At the mountain, Everest saw Marshall standing there and knew that it was the best time to say something.

"Marshall?" Everest said softly.

"What?" Marshall jumped straight up and fell straight down. "Ouch."

"I'm sorry, Marshall. Are you okay?"

"I'm okay. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"When will you be back?"

"I'm not going to the lookout. I'm staying with Jake."

Marshall fell silent. Everest could hear the whimper in his voice.

"Marshall?"

"I will see you soon, Everest."

Marshall hung up and buried his head in his arms. Sierra limped over to him and sat next to where he was.

"Marshall, what's wrong?"

"I have a crush on Everest and I really want to tell her, but I don't know how. I was thinking of waiting and talking to her when the PAW Patroller comes, but she is not coming back down."

"I think you should go up and talk to her about it."

"Yeah…Maybe."

"Don't maybe…Look, if you love her, you need to tell her before you lose her."

Immediately, the PAW Patroller pulled into the driveway and Ryder and the pups but Everest ran out.

"Hey Marshall!" said Rocky.

"Hey Ryder! Hey pups!"

Ryder walked over to Sierra.

"For showing bravery in rescuing Marshall, I would like to make you a member of the PAW Patrol."

"YES!" yelled Sierra. Ryder put the tag on her and she started to jump for joy. Zuma walked over and tripped over the curb and rolling straight into Sierra. When he stopped rolling, he noticed that he was on top of Sierra and their noises were touching. They both started blushing.

"Looks like my clumsiness has rubbed off on you, Zuma." Said Marshall, giggling. The other pups were giggling, but neither Zuma nor Sierra cared. Neither of them wanted to move as they loved this moment and they were frozen in fear. Immediately, a call came in and a worried Jake was on the other line.

"Hello, Ryder here."

"Ryder! Everest is missing! She walked off and now I can't find her! I'm worried because there's a storm rolling in! It is forecasted to be the most snow in the history of Adventure Bay. It is about 50 to 75 feet of snow over a week period. Temperatures are only supposed to reach a high of -15 degrees and a low of -50 degrees."

"Oh my! No job is too…"

Ryder only noticed Marshall driving as fast as he could down the lookout driveway. Marshall drove as fast as he could, pushing his truck to the limit. His collar started to ring and Marshall picked up.

"Marshall, come back!" Yelled Ryder.

"I'm sorry, Ryder…I need to save Everest. This is a solo mission. I will contact you once I find her. Marshall, out!"

Marshall started to cry, thinking that he could lose the one he loved. Instead of taking about an hour to get up to Jake's mountain, Marshall made it to the cabin in five minutes.

"Jake! What direction did Everest go?!" Yelled Marshall. Jake noticed Marshall's eyes swollen red.

"Marshall, she went…" Jake noticed that Marshall already started driving off in the direction he pointed. Meanwhile, Everest was continuing to walk up the mountain.

"Why did I leave Jake's cabin? Oh, right…Marshall…"

Everest knew that she most likely blew it with Marshall. After Ryder got off the phone and saw that Marshall was okay, she talked to Skye about what had happened and the kiss. She knew that she pulled away when Marshall kissed. She knew that she loves him and he loved her, but she didn't know if Marshall still loved her after she withdrew from the kiss. When she pulled herself out of thought, she noticed that there was a storm rolling in.

"I better go back to Jake's cabin, but…um…which way?" said Everest as she reached a flat point in the mountains. She headed straight on since she didn't remember the way to the cabin and ended up walking further and further away from Jake's cabin.
