"AAAAAHHH!" Ryder and Katie yelled.

"watch out for that three!" Ryder yelled. They drifted to the right just missing. "watch out for that snow bank!"

"no time!" she yelled Bracing she self for impact. But instead of hitting it, it was used as a ramp.

"AAAAAHHHHH!" they yelled again. Although because of that ramp they got ahead of everyone.

"where did you guys come from?" asked Chase. But they couldn't answer because they all had to stop. Well except Zuma, no breaks meant he couldn't stop in time, so he bumped into Chase's cruiser. "hey watch the cruiser, I just got it detailed." He said wiping away the imaginary dirt.

"sowwy dude." Zuma said.

"so, who lost?" asked Rocky.

"who knows, but is anyone else hungry?" Rubble said.

"do you think of anything other than food." Asked Rocky.

"we should go and see what everyone else is doing." Said Chase jumping out of his cruiser.

"wight behind you dude." Zuma said jumping out.

"yeah, we should check on Jake and Everest." Said Katie stepping off the ATV.

"yeah, lets." Said Ryder following after her.

"hay don't forget about me." Rocky said running behind everyone.

When they turn the corner of cabin, they saw Jake and Skye looking out into the distance.

"hey what are you two doing?" asked Katie.

"oh, Marshall and Everest went for a walk, and were just waiting for them to return." Jake said.

"really, just the two of them?" asked Chase.

"yeah, and me and Jake think we know what's going to happen with them." Said Skye.

"what, what's going to happen?" asked Chase.

"yeah were in the dark." Said Rocky. All the other boys nodded.

"Katie?" she asked.

"it about time." She said.

"yeah, I…" Skye started sniffing Katie. And she just started smiling. "it 'is' about time."

Katie started to blush. "um, yeah, time."

With Marshall and Everest.

"anything Marshall?" asked Everest sniffing the ground.

"nope, nothing yet." Marshall said sniffing and scanning the ground.

"oh man, where is my tag?" she said. Starting to panic.

"don't worry, will find it." He said putting away his scanner and just following his nose.

They were retracing Everest steps before the cliff to find her tag. Although because they were keeping their nose to the ground they bumped into each other nose. Both of them just stopped and stared into each other eyes like before. Then they separated and blushed a deep red.

"yeah, so um…I'm going to search over, over there." Marshall said walking backwards, intel he tripped on a fallen branch. "I'm okay!" he said and walked away a little fatter.

Everest just laughed, "oh Marshall." She said to herself. And went back to looking only to find it right where Marshall fell. "always saving the day, even when you fall." She said picking it up, and putting back on, or tried to. "I'll get Jake to put it on later. Might as well find Marshall and head back." She said and was following where Marshall went.

Her time at the south pole tot her how to read tracks, and she know Marshall was not far behind. As she got closer, she heard a noise *thud, thud, thud* "what I'm going to do know." *thud* "she's probably never talk to me the same why ever again." *thud* "and just when I thought I was getting some ware." *thud* when she got to the noise she saw Marshall hitting his head to a three, more specific, his helmet.

"I thought you were looking for my tag?" she said. She dropped her tag before speaking up.

"hum? oh yeah, I was, I was just…um, frustrated that I can find it?" he said trying to play it off.

"oh really?" she said slowly walking up to him. "because it looks to me you were just sitting here." She then closed the distance and was right in his face, making him blush. "not to menschen, I heard what you were talking about." She then stepped back. "do you mined telling me what was that about. And just know, I hat liars." She said giving him an anger look.

"well, um, I was here looking for you're." * growl* "I mean, I was frustrated with myself and how I can't find. *growl* "I mean, I, I, I…*sigh* I like you." He said. "I really like you. But with how everything that that happen today, I don't know how you feel about me." He said looking down. He then heard Everest laughing.

"do you really think just because of a few embarrassing moments can change how I feel for you." She laughed.

"what?" Marshall asked after processing what she said.

"all the things that happened today, I'm not mad at them, embarrassed a little yes, but that won't stop my feelings."

"you have feeling for me?" he asked.

"well I have been dropping hints for a long time now." She said.

"Really?"

Everest just Blush, "yeah. I was actually fearing you might not notice, or you might feel deferent. And then there are the thoughts that you were going to be like Chase."

"what do you mean?"

"well, we all know about Chases crush." She said and saw Marshall nodding his head. "well Skye's told me how long she's know Chase and his crush on her, and I thought that when they get together, it would take the same amount of time for us to…" she drifted off.

"oh well um…" Marshall was just stumped now, he didn't know how to prosed from there.

"well, um, I think it's time we head back." She said walked back to the place she placed her tag.

"oh, you found it." He said. Walking up.

"well, more like you found it, where you fell, it was right there." She said slowly walking down a slope.

"that explains it." Marshall looked at his butt, "I know that landing was a little painFUL!" Marshall yelled slipping and rolling

"hum?" she looking back and Saw Marshall came right at her. "not aga." Was all she could say, until Marshall crashed into he, Snout first. After a while, the core was hollow with Marshall and Everest, snout to snout. "we have got to stop meeting like this." Said Everest smiling at.

"hahaha." Marshall laughed. He then looked back at Everest eyes, "you know, you will always have the pretty's eyes I will ever see."

Everest blushed. "thanks. And you will always have the softest and warmest fur ever."

They were going to wrapped up in their own world again. "you know, there's a movie I really want to see next week, and I was thinking, if you're not busy, maybe…" but just like before, the world crashed into then, this time it was the side if the cabin. "I'm good!" Marshall said, popping his head out of the snow.

"me two." Everest said.

"oh, you guys made it. It's almost time to go home." Said Ryder.

"Ryder!" yelled Marshall while running and jumping into his arms and liking his face.

"yes, yes. I missed you two." He said petting Marshall. "but, I do need you to get ready."

"ok Ryder." He said. Walking up to his pup house, he then jumped but, the roof didn't collapse, so he just landed on it with a thud. "I'm ok." He said standing on top, and jumped again. But nothing. "um?" he tried to do it a couple more times. "its…not working." He said jumping a few more times.

"really, let me see." Ryder said walking up to the house and pushed a secret button. The house shuck but then nothing. "hum?" he lifted a secret panel, and saw the problem. "oh, I see. Your shift motor it broken." He said.

"I think I have a spare?" Rocky said looking in his truck. "ok, good news bad news. Good news, I do have a spear, but bad news, we don't have the tools to put it in." he said.

"so, what does that mean for me?" asked Marshall jumping down from his house.

"well, I guess you're going to stay the night, that ok with you Ryder, Jake?" asked Katie.

"well just as long as everyone ok with this, will come pick you up tomorrow." Said Ryder.

"well I don't see anything wrong with it. Plus, I would feel comfortable having him to look at my ankle in the morning."

"I'm ok with it," said Everest

"no complaints here." Said Marshall.

"then its settled. We'll come by to fix your house tomorrow."

"ok then, sleep tight, and don't let the frost bit." Joked Ryder, making everyone laughed.

"well then, time to go everyone." Said Katie getting on the ATV.

"bye, see you tomorrow!" all the pups said getting in their vehicles, and left.

Then it was just Marshall, Everest and Jake. "so then…wait do you guys want to do?" asked Marshall.

"do you pups want to was TV?" asked Jake.

"Sure!" yelled Everest.

"yeah!"

"then lest go!" he said and limped into his cabin.

That night.

"well, I think I going to hit thee hay, I suggest you pups do the same. Goodnight." Jake said getting up, stretching and heading to his room.

"ok, goodnight Jake." Both pups said.

When they reached their pups houses. "it going to get really could tonight, don't forget to close your door." Said Everest.

"you got it, goodnight Everest."

"goodnight Marshall." Everest then went inside and closed her door.

"goodnight." Whispered Marshall and walking hit a button to close his door, but nothing. "what?" he the hit it a few more time, "oh come on!" he kept reputedly hitting the button, but nothing.

"everything ok Marshall?"

"no, looks like that motor was more than just for my truck." He then walked out. And steered at Everest and became beet red, would you might if we share you pup house." He then brock eye contact.

Everest was the starting to blush, "oh um, sure, I don't see anything wrong with that, I mean you need to say warm, and your house is broken, so um yeah, come right in." she said scouting to the side so they could fit together.

"thanks, I owe you one." He said walking in.

"just make sure the movie isn't the last thing we do on our date." She said.

"oh right, the movie. How does a dinner at Mr. Porters sound?"

Everest just rested her head on Marshalls shoulder. "that works, but just as long as I'm with you, it'll be perfect."

"does this mean were dating?"

"if that's what you want?" she said snuggling more into Marshall.

"nothing would make me happier."

"good, *yean* goodnight." She said.

"yeah." Marshall said getting comfortable, "goodnight."

That night they sleep like they have never slept before.

That's it for this, I know I said this would be the last one, but now it seems next one going to be it, and I'm sorry for the long delay, it's just seems that when I'm close to the end of a story, I just can't think of a way to end it right, that irritates me. Oh well.
