Chapter 11

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!


Chase looked up and saw a figure of a pup. His eyes focused and noticed that it was Marshall.

"MARSHALL!" Chase yelled, hugging him. All the other pups woke up and noticed that Marshall was there.

"MARSHALL!" Yelled all the other pups. They ran up and held him, not letting him go. After he was released, Everest walked up to him. Neither of them said anything. Tundra then ran up, but Marshall wouldn't let her kiss him.

"...Goodbye..." Marshall walked to the door, but was stopped by Chase.

"Marshall, I'm not letting you leave!"

"Chase, let me out."

"No!"

Chase looked at Marshall and knew that he couldn't let his friend leave. Marshall had enough, let out a sigh, then walked to his room, locking the door behind. Everest went to the door and knocked.

"Marshall?" said Everest softly. There was no answer. She knocked again and still no answer. Then, she heard a car engine roar to life and drive off. She knew that it must have been Marshall. She broke down the door to Marshall's bedroom and saw that everything was gone. She sat and cried on the floor, knowing that she really screwed up with Marshall. Then, the door behind her opened and arms wrapped around Everest.

"What?" Everest turned around to see Marshall. Everest couldn't hold it in and balled.

*sniffling* "I'm sorry, Everest. I know that it was a mistake…I'm just in pain. It hurts so much."

"Marshall, you can't bottle this stuff up. Please tell me! I love you and I can't see you in this much pain. I love you too much to see you do this to yourself."

"I love you too much to see you ever sad. Everest, I know that I have been making you sad by pushing you out, but it just…It hurts in my heart…"

"Are you moving because of what happened between me and Rocky?"

"I need to move to Berkeley for College. I bought a place and I just needed to move stuff so I don't need to deal with it later."

"You worried me so much. I thought you were heartbroken and you were leaving me."

"Everest, I will never leave you. I just couldn't risk you following me to Berkeley. I needed some time to myself to think about everything. I knew that I couldn't be without you. I just needed time to think about my situation. I know now that I can't change the past, but I can change the future and I want my future to be with you, Everest."

"I want to be with you for the rest of my life, Marshall."

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you too, Everest."

"Why not?" questioned Chase. Marshall and Everest jumped and looked over at Chase.

"What do you mean, Chase?" questioned Everest.

"Spend the rest of your lives together! Get married!" said Chase.

"MARRIED?!" said Everest.

"You will be together forever and you both said that you want to be with each other for the rest of your lives." Said Chase.

"I don't know if I'm ready for marriage yet." Said Everest.

"I would like to get married, but not right now. I don't think I'm ready either." Said Marshall.

"Well, it's your decision." Said Chase. Marshall took out his phone and looked at the time.

"OH CRAP!"

"What's wrong, Marsh?" questioned Everest.

"I really need to go. I have room in my car…do you want to come Everest?"

"Sure!"

Marshall and Everest said their goodbyes to everyone, Marshall gave a house key to Chase, telling him he could stay there, and started to depart. Marshall opened the passenger of the 2010 BMW M3 E92 Coupe and let Everest in. Marshall closed the door after he knew that she was clear of the door and walked to the driver's seat. He pressed the start button and the 4.0L V8 engine roared to life.

"Wow! This sounds awesome!" said Everest.

"Thanks Everest! I put a modified exhaust, so it's a little bit louder. As well as that, I put custom suspension on the car, so it rides a little lower than normal."

"Wow!"

"Yeah. Come on, let's go!"

Marshall accelerated the car and used the paddle shifters (The E92 that Marshall's driving is equipped with SMG) and shifted in perfect timing with the engine, getting max power from the lower gears.

"Time to hit the highway!" said Marshall. He came to a complete stop at the traffic light to get onto the freeway. When it turned green, Marshall floored the car for a few seconds, then pulled off the gas and entered the freeway with the flow of traffic at 65 mph.

"Wow, this car sounds amazing!" said Everest.

"That's good that you like it." Said Marshall. What Marshall didn't tell her was that he bought her the same model car, but in a blue and the newer series.

"What do you mean by that, Marshall?" questioned Everest.

"You'll see…" said Marshall, smiling. Everest had a confused look as Marshall's smile grew. He faced forward and continued driving. After a couple of hours, Marshall made it to Berkeley, California. He pulled into a town house and opened the garage door. There, a car with a tarp over it.

"What's that, Marsh?"

"That's the surprise. I bought you… this!" Marshall pulled off the tarp and revealed a brand new BMW M3 F80 with Blue exterior. Everest put her paws over her mouth, then ran over and kissed Marshall on the lips.

"Who's this, Marshall?" questioned a pup. The pup was one of his friends that's living with him. His name was Apache and he looked similar to Everest as he was a husky, but had a grey and white fur instead of blue and white.

"Hmm…oh, this is Everest, my girlfriend."

"Wow Marshall, you are the most popular student and you already have a smoking hot girlfriend for over a year? Why can't I be you…" said Apache, envying Marshall.

"My Marshy never told me that he was popular." Said Everest smiling at Everest.

"I really wish I wasn't. Hey Apache, where's your car?" questioned Marshall.

"My car was totaled. I was t-boned and I did a barrel roll and ended up in a tree. My airbags deployed and they did a write-off. The insurance company only gave me $200 for my car."

"Apache, I'm sorry. Hey, when's your birthday?"

"June 1st, why?" questioned Apache. It was June 21st, so Marshall was late on his birthday.

"Apache, I missed your birthday. I need to make it up to you…you're coming with me after I go with Everest to Stanford. Do you want to come?"

"Sure, Marshall." Said Apache.

"Marshall, why don't you want to be popular?" questioned Everest.

"All the girl pups keep flirting with me, but I knew that I was in love with my special husky girl." Marshall said, giving Everest a kiss.

"Thank you, Marshall. You're my special Dalmatian and I'll always love you."

Marshall and Everest gave each other a kiss and then Apache and Marshall got into Marshall's M3 whilst Everest got into her M3. Marshall and Everest drove to Stanford in record time, not even making a pit stop for gas or restroom.

"We're here!" said Everest over the phone. Marshall and Everest connected their phones via Bluetooth to their entertainment system in their car.

"This place is amazing! Do you have a place yet?" questioned Marshall.

"I don't. They ran out of places and I would have to buy a house to live here. I don't know what I'm going to do." Said Everest in a sad tone. Marshall turned the car around and drove to an old house with a few acres of land on it. He called his personal construction friend (Not Rubble, another pup though). He also called his financial advisor and the owner of the property. They were all out to the location about a half an hour after Marshall called. Everest caught up with Marshall and saw them looking at a place. She didn't until they saw all four of them walking out and Marshall shaking hands with the now former homeowner. The constructing friend told Marshall that he will start breaking ground the same day and the financial advisor said that he had enough money to complete this project.

"Marshall?" questioned his financial advisor.

"Yes?"

"I've noticed a higher income into your bank account. Do you know why?"

"Yes. I got another four car dealerships, Chevrolet, BMW, Mercedes Benz, and Ford. I bought the Chevy, BMW, and Mercedes dealer in Adventure Bay and I purchased the Chevy, BMW, Mercedes, and Ford dealer in San Diego, San Francisco, and Oakland. We are having a sale on our 2015 models and a lot of people are coming in to purchase vehicles. I have been working hard with my co-manager to watch over the company and make sure everything runs smoothly."

"Okay, Marshall. I just wanted to know. Also, why are you doing this for her?" questioned his financial advisor, motioning to Everest.

"She's my best friend and my girlfriend. Even if she wasn't my girlfriend, I would still do this for her. I care about all of my friends, but she's special. She's kind, caring, cute, respectful, and a great person." said Marshall, quietly.

"She's a lucky girl." Said the financial advisor.

"Thank you. I think you're special too, Marshall." Said Everest. Marshall pulled Everest in and kissed her passionately and neither of them wanted to stop. After two minutes, the construction pup came up to both of them and interrupted their make out session.

"Sorry to interrupt, but we're ready to break ground."

"Go ahead. I got a reservation for a hotel for Everest. Don't worry."

"Awesome! LET'S BREAK GROUND, MEN!" yelled the construction leader.

"So, a hotel room?" questioned Everest.

"Yeah, a California King bed." Said Marshall.

"So you got one bed, huh?" said Everest.

"The bed is for you. I'll be sleeping on the couch."

"Marshall, you can sleep with me on the bed…come on, we'll have some 'fun'" Everest said seductively.

"Umm…" Apache felt awkward as Everest and Marshall were talking about mating.

"Sorry Apache." Said Everest.

"It's okay. I kinda felt like a third wheel. I also have a room in the hotel and I really don't want to hear moaning while I'm trying to sleep. I reserved a room and please don't mate…please." Said Apache.

"I guess we're going to have to hold off on our mating." Said Everest with a sad tone.

"Yeah…"

"Hey Marshall, the house should be demolished tomorrow. The house should be built in about a month."

"Got it."

"Hey Everest?" questioned Marshall.

"Yeah Marshy?" said Everest.

"Are you going back to Adventure Bay?"

"Yeah, are you?" said Everest.

"I won't be returning. I have to get some of my classes dealt with. I will be returning just before the beginning of my school."

"Oh…" said Everest sadly, "When do you finish?"

"End of August, but I will only be there for a little bit of time. I'm really sorry, Everest…" said Marshall, starting to tear up.

"It's okay. How about I stay with you up in Berkeley?" suggested Everest.

"I would love you to stay up there! You don't have to if you don't want to."

"I really want to be with my Marshmallow."

"I really want to be with my special Snow pup. I love you." Marshall pulled Everest in for another kiss.
