A/N: While writing this chapter, I noticed that you started voting. And I also discovered from another writter what happens when you post a story and then update it in less than 24 hours. Because of this, I decided that I'll do a triple update, but I'll also eliminate one choice from my poll, but I won't tell which one or when will I do it. Anyway, enjoy the chapter.

CHAPTER 4 – MOTHER AND DAUGHTER

Thankfully, the other pups were at the beach playing volleyball and Ryder was asleep, so Miranda and Skye were able to exit the lookout without being noticed and head towards Skye's pup-house.

"I can't believe how much you've grown since I last saw you, Skye." Miranda said.

"Yeah, time flies so fast, right?" Skye asked.

"Definitely." Miranda replied.

While they were talking, Skye was able to explain what she had gone through after the crash, except the PAW Patrol subject.

"Whoa, you had to go through that?" Miranda asked, surprised.

"Yeah, it was horrible, but enough of that, let's go see what the others are doing." Miranda nodded before both made their way to the beach.

Meanwhile at the beach, the pups were playing volleyball and already the result was tied: 20:20. The next point would declare the winner. The pups were playing 2 on 2 since Everest hasn't returned from her grooming, Skye was still at the Lookout and Chase couldn't play because the teams wouldn't be even. The teams were: Rocky and Zuma, Marshall and Rubble. Eventually, Rocky and Zuma scored and won.

"Nice save, Zuma." Rocky complimented his friend.

"Thanks, dude." Zuma replied as he did a high-paw with the mix-breed.

Chase then noticed Skye and Miranda coming over to them. He smiled when he saw how close they were, but confusion struck his face when he saw them nuzzling each other. He turned to his friends.

"Guys, I don't want to ruin your celebration, but look who's coming this way."

All the other pups turned to see Skye and Miranda coming over, still nuzzling. When they stopped nuzzling, they just looked ahead and saw the boys, confusion on their faces, but decided not to question it.

"Hi, everyone." Skye greeted.

"Hey, Skye, do you two want to play volleyball with us?" Chase asked. Miranda was confused as to why Chase was so eager to ask Skye, but shook off that thought.

"Sure, why not?" Both girls said at once.

"But, how many of us are there?" Skye asked curiously.

"With you two here, it's 7 of us." Rubble said.

"Make that 8!"

Everyone turned to the source of the voice to see Everest on the sidewalk.

"Okay, Miranda, choose your partners." Marshall said.

"My partners will be…" Miranda started thinking who to choose. Her first option was easy.

"Skye!"

Skye excitedly barked and did a back-flip, knowing she and her mother would be a team. Miranda's second option wasn't easy, but eventually she chose…

"Everest!"

Everest pumped her paw up in the air with a silent "yes!" Now, Miranda must choose one of the boys, which was really tough because all the boys were good players. After a few minutes, she replied,

"My final partner would be… Chase!"

Chase wanted to jump in joy, but remained calm and the game started.

The pups had to admit, Miranda was awesome! After half an hour, Miranda's team won 5 times in a row and didn't lose a single time. The pups were impressed.

"How did you learn to play volleyball like that?" Marshall asked in awe.

"I have my own ways." Miranda replied.

"Right, um, Skye, can I talk to you, alone?" Chase asked, nervous.

"Sure, Chase." Skye said with a giggle.

The two walked away from the group to talk.

"So, Miranda, we want to ask you something, but, please, don't snap at us." Rocky said.

"Go ahead, Rocky." Miranda replied.

"Ok, so, we noticed you and Skye nuzzling each other earlier, why is that?"

"Wait, what? Skye didn't tell you?"Miranda asked in shock. The other pups looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what she meant by that.

"Tell us what?" Zuma asked.

"Ok, then, I'll tell you, that nuzzling was a mother-daughter moment."

"Oh, that's a relief; I thought you two were…" Marshall started, but froze when he heard what was said. He stared at her in shock, but he was not the only one. Everyone was in shock after what Miranda said, but Rocky was the first to speak.

"So you're saying that Skye is your daughter?!" He exclaimed. Miranda nodded.

Everypup, minus Miranda, Chase and Skye fainted after that, leaving the poodle confused. Then, Skye comes over with Chase on her back, unconscious. She looked at the other pups and then at her mother.

"What happened here?" She asked in confusion.

Miranda shrugged. "They fainted when I told them."

Skye understood. "Yeah, I figured that would happen, Chase fainted when I told him that you're my mother."

"Him too? Who else is going to faint today?" Miranda asked.

"Oh, and mom, I think you should know, Chase and I are mates for three years now."

Miranda looked at her daughter in shock. She wanted to say something, but the only thing that came out of her mouth was, "Me and my big mouth." before fainting herself.

A while later, Miranda was ready to go home. She knew what John told her and asked Skye to come with her and meet the people who were taking care of her and she nodded. They were close to that house.

"This is the first time I get to meet your owners." Skye pointed out.

"Yeah, temporary owners." Said Miranda.

"Why temporary?"

"They take care of me until I can find a permanent owner for myself."

"Oh, ok."

When they entered the house, nobody was there, so Miranda assumed they were out. Then, her phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Miranda, sorry to call you like this, but we kinda have a meeting with some kid at Mr. Porter's, so if you get home before we do, we left some ham for you in your bowl." Antonio explained.

"Ok, thanks for the info. Bye." Said Miranda as she hung up.

"What was that about?" Skye asked.

"They said they'll try to find me an owner. But, while we wait for them to get home, how about I show you around?"

Skye nodded and followed her mother around the house while also having thoughts.

Mom has temporary owners and they're already looking for a permanent owner. If I get lucky, she might come to live at the Lookout with Ryder. She thought.

A/N: So now you know what was next. Miranda and Skye catch up with everything, Miranda reveals about Skye being her daughter to the other pups and finds out that Skye and Chase are mates. But who will be Miranda's permanent owner? Stay tuned for the next chapter.
