AN: SO sorry this took so long! It was just hard with school. Again, shout out to carbonn15 who was my inspiration, and my best buddy… hope you get free time soon :'( Anyways, to the story.
After about three hours, Marshall arose from his slumber. He looked to his right, and there he was.
Rocky was out of surgery, bandaged up, and looked pale. Marshall stared at him, and let a slight frown and quiver.
"Marsha-boy, did you take it a little far? Did you do that for a reason?"
These thoughts raced in his head. He then snapped out of his violent streak, and succumbed to guilt. Still staring at his teammate he almost murdered, and cried. He grabbed Rocky's hand, and cried into his pillow.
When Rocky heard this, he slightly perched open his eyelids.
"Hey, R-R-Rocky…..I have to be quiet because everybody's asleep, how are you feeling?" said Marshall.
"I was better off before you shot me…." said Rocky.
"Rocky, I am so…so…so…so sorry for shooting you. I'm sorry I was born in this world to make mistakes. I'm sorry that you'll have to see me do this…." quivered Marshall.
"Uh….see what….?" said Rocky.
Marshall started to wrap a rope, around his neck, and what Rocky was about to see next would change his WHOLE perspective on Marshall.
Marshall then tied it to the door knob, and opened the door, and hung himself.
"Marshall, NO!" Rocky screamed, waking up Ryder.
"Huh?" said a drowsy Ryder.
Rocky got Marshall down, and scolded.
"Dude, don't end your life now!" said Rocky.
"Why, all I did was hurt people and screw up…" said Marshall.
Marshall then grabbed Chase's pistol again, and aimed at his head. With quick thinking, Rocky pulled the safety switch before Marshall could do anything.
"Dude, don't!" said Ryder.
By this time, all the pups were awake and groggy.
"My life stinks, I screw up, I hurt Rocky and Chase, and just overall a terrible pup. I don't even deserve to be on the PAW Patrol…." said Marshall
"Marshall, what are you talking about? You are a valuable pup, and always will be!" said Ryder.
"Yeah! You make me laugh!" said Everest.
"ooh, I'm a stand up comedian! Hooray I guess every problem in the world is solved now!" said an angered and sarcastic Marshall.
"Marshall, I'm sorry for always calling you out with your water cannons" said Rocky.
"And I'm sorry, because this promise won't stand. Every time I do it, I get backlash from you. And you can't take back comments or a fight. You are not forgiven." said Marshall.
"B-b-b-but….." stuttered Rocky.
"Save it, all you'll do is abuse me more" said Marshall.
Everyone walks away with Marshall, and comforts him, except for Ryder.
Rocky sets down on the ground and pours out a pool of tears. Ryder leans down, and pats Rocky on the back.
"It's ok," said Ryder.
"No it's not, I hurt my best friend, and now he hates me."said Rocky.
"Maybe you could try to write an apology letter." Said Ryder.
"Yeah, thanks Ryder" said Rocky
"You're welcome" Ryder said.
And then, Rocky began his letter to the pups.
"Dear, pups. I am sorry for what I have done. I was not smart and let my emotions bubble over. I will now give a specific apology to each and every one of you.
Skye and Everest: I am sorry you had to watch me brutally beat my teammate, my friend and yours.
Rubble: I am sorry that I told you off-story to grow some boxers and deal with me.
Chase: I am sorry I beat you in the hospital, and nearly took your life. You deserve yours.
Zuma: I'm sorry you watched me beat my friends, my teammate.
Marshall: I am so, so, so sorry. I can't say that enough, I just want things to go back to normal, us….being…best friends forever…..
Sincerely, Rocky."
Rocky then ran to his invention, and threw it into his truck's trash compactor, and then slipped the letter into the door's hole for mail, and watched from the window.
Inside….
"Hey, we have a letter!" said Skye.
She ran and picked it up, and gasped at the person writing it, Rocky. She read her apology, and passed it on to Everest. Everest read her part, and passed it on to Rubble, he read his part, and then passed it to Zuma.
Outside, Rocky was apologizing to Ryder, and he turned away from the window.
"It's ok, Rocky, just don't do this again! You injured teammates." Said Ryder.
"Yes , sir," said Rocky.
He then turned back to see's Marshall's reaction to the letter. Marshall ripped it to pieces and threw it in the trash.
Rocky then broke down outside, and cried to sleep.
"Why?"
