so lets fly (pun intended), Enjoy!

Marshall's POV (July 25):

I woke up the next morning to see Chase sitting on the bed just staring at his paws.

"Chase?" I said

He didn't answer me, he just stared at his paws

"Chase!" I repeated

"what? Oh, morning Marshall" Chase said in a low voice

"morning, are you ok Chase?" I asked

"yeah, I guess" I said

"do you need a ride to volunteering today?" I asked

Chase nodded and got up and started getting ready for volunteering. Once we were dressed, we headed down to breakfast. Once we got there, we saw Ryder and I felt Chase stiffen and he dropped his head and stared at his paws and walked quickly to where the food was. I was very confused and just followed him in.

I found him grabbing some little omelets. "Chase, what was that?!" I asked stunned

"What was what?" he asked sounding like nothing happened

"Why did you sprint to the food like that?" I asked

"I was just hungry" Chase said, I knew he was lying to me

"Don't lie to me Chase. Now what's the real reason" I demanded

"I just didn't want Ryder to see me" he said

"Why?" I asked

"Because" he said

"Because why?" I asked again

"Because… because I didn't want him to" he said

"You think he is still mad at you, don't you" I said

He was silent, and I took that as my answer. I shook my head and got my food. Then I lead him to a table in a hidden corner. We ate our breakfast quietly and then just before we left, I made sure that Ryder went back to his room and then we left for my bike. When we got outside, I went over to the bikes and saw two empty spaces where Chase's and Skye's bikes once were. We got on my bike and I drove Chase to his volunteer site.

"Thanks Marshall" Chase said as we exited the road that led to the Hotel.

"No problem Chase. but you will have to see Ryder again today whether you like it or not" I reminded him

He sighed "yea I know, I just have a feeling that it's too soon. Anyway, I need to focus because I have a job to do" Chase said sounding tough

"It will be ok Chase" I said and soon we arrived at where chase was volunteering.

"See ya later Chase." I said

"See ya Marshall" he said and took off towards the security building.

I then took off and headed for the fire station that was near the actual airport building. once I got there, firefighters were walking around checking on gear, the firetrucks, supplies and some were just sitting around.

"Alright everyone gather around" the captain said

We all gathered around the captain "Ok, so I just got word that parking and camping will be opened, so we have reports of planes coming in. So, I have placed you all in positions all around the airport. I hope that nothing will happen, but I can't make any promises. Trucks rolling out in 15 minutes to assigned positions. The position by the Flight Line Operations building and next to the 9-27 runway will have, Marcus, Charlie, Sam and Marshall." The captain said and continued to name off locations and people going.

"Hey, Marshall is it?"

I turned to see a couple of guys approaching me. "I'm guessing you're my team?" I asked

One nodded "I'm Marcus, the guy to my right is Charlie and the guy to my left is Sam. We also decided that you be team leader since you are an actual firefighter." Marcus said

I looked at them confused "you guys aren't firefighters?" I asked

"no, we are. But we are all students who are training to be firefighters as well as volunteer fighters in the area cities besides Oshkosh." Sam said

"Not to mention we get to work with you, a member of the Paw Patrol, and the firefighter pup." Charlie added

"Alright, I accept the team leader position" I said "well let's go and get ready for the day" I added and the three boys separated to get their gear. I already had all of my gear in my pack already, so I headed to our assigned truck. The boys in my group jumped in not long after me and we headed off to our location. After about ten minutes we arrived at our location and I watched as vans and John Deer gators raced by. In one of them I saw Skye, and Ace Sorenson; Skye was smiling as she drove away.

"Alright guys here we are, we just now have to wait here and hope nothing bad happens" the driver George said

We all hopped out of the truck and grabbed a chair in the wooden structure that we parked next too. Not too long after the sky was buzzing with engine sound as we watched planes of all kinds land one after the other. Here were a few close calls where some turned really wide and had to turn back to line up to land. There was a plane that landed on the last possible spot and rolled off into the grass area of the runway and we thought they crashed. Luckily nothing major happened so we were not needed.

After a few hours and watching planes come in we got a report of cross winds picking up, we watched as a white rear engine plane with long wings come in to land. It started to wobble as it came in and all of us stood up. As it landed, we all knew it was going to end badly. Suddenly as it landed the front landing gear gave out and the front of the plane came down with a thud. Sparks flew as it swerved all over the runway then rolled off and into a deeper ditch in the shape of a triangle where some taxiways and the runway intersected. We jumped into the truck and raced towards the downed plane. I grabbed the radio mounted on my shoulder

"This is Marshall's team, we are arriving first on the scene" I called the forehouse, then I changed channels

"Tower, fire rescue" I called

"Go ahead fire" they responded

"Close the airport now so we don't have another accident" I asked

"You got it, airport is closing" the tower responded

At that time, we arrived at the plane. "Alright boys lets go" I said and we all jumped out of the truck and rushed the plane.

When I got to the plane, I could see the people inside struggling "Don't panic, we will get you out" I told the people inside the plane. The pilot nodded looking scared.

I looked at the hatch to open the cockpit and it wat jammed shut. "Shit" I cursed to myself and turned to my team.

"Grab the crowbars, we have to pry this thing open now. This cockpit is filling with smoke" I ordered, they all grabbed crowbars out of their packs. I looked at my pack "Jaws" I called and an arm popped out and a mini jaws of life pop out and grew in size to a medium size jaws. Just then I could hear ambulances and police cruisers approaching.

"Alright, Marcus and Charlie on the front, Sam and George get the sides. I'll pop this thing in once I have a big enough opening" I said meaning my jaws

The guys surrounded the cockpit and got into place, "open!" I ordered and they started to pry the cockpit open. As the crack steadily grew I could hear the people inside coughing, then I saw the opening was wide enough. I took my jaws and slammed them into the crack and started to open them.

"Stand back!" I called as it opened up wide and my team backed up quickly. Suddenly there was a creek and a snap and the cock pit opened.

"Get them out now!" I ordered

George and Sam grabbed two women, one who was in her mid-thirty's and the other who was in her mid-fifties, they appeared to be ok. Charlie grabbed the pilot who appeared in his upper-thirty's, he was having a coughing fit but looked ok.

"Marshall!" Marcus called

I turned to see him pull out two small children who were knocked out. "Oh crap, Medic!" I screamed and a group of four medics rushed to Marcus's side. I looked to Sam to see him holding who appeared to be the mother franticly fighting to get to her children. I looked at George who was thrown down to the ground from the pilot. The pilot looked mad and yet determined.

I have to stop him or he is going to get hurt I thought. I sped towards the pilot, jumped and landed on his chest and knocked him to the ground. "Stay down! Let the medics do their job sir!" I yelled, a police officer came by and brought him back by his family and also helped to hold them back.

I rushed back to the medics who were still working on the children "We have pulses, we need to get them to the hospital now" one of them said

"Pick them up and put them in this ambulance" a medic said pointing to the nearest ambulance.

"We have to take everyone else as well to get them checked out" the first one said.

I turned to my team "let them pass guys" I ordered. Sam moved to let the mom pass, George and the police officer moved to let the pilot pass, and Marcus let the grandmother go past as well. They loaded into the ambulance and it sped off for the hospital.

We grabbed hoses and extinguishers and put out the electrical fire in the cockpit. Then we let the police and other teams take care of the rest.

"Thank you Marshall, your team may have just saved all those people today." The captain of the police force said shaking my paw

"My pleasure, but I could not have done it without my awesome team" I said smiling

The captain congratulated and shook hands with each member of my team. Then we had to pack up and check ourselves for injuries. George got some bruises from being thrown to the ground and Marcus got some scratches and minor burns saving the children, as well as minor scratches on Sam and Charlie. I bruised my paws when I knocked over the pilot. Once we were patched up, we headed back to our position.

We were greeted by some of the Flight Line Ops people. They congratulated us on the great save and then went back to their work. We were told to come in after we finished talking with the flight line ops people because the airport was closed for the day since the crash happened so close to the start of the airshow. Someone else was to take our spot for the airshow shift and my team was given the day off for our great job.

When we arrived at the firehouse, my team was told that they would be awarded with medals at the Young Eagle's banquet tomorrow for our bravery and quick action in today's crash.

"Congratulations men, you all deserve it." the captain said before we left.

I drove back to the hotel and I still had a rush going through my body. Once I got to the hotel I walked in and went up to my room.

…

Skye's POV:

When Ace Sorenson and I got out into the building for volunteering at FLO, I still did not feel great. mostly because I was upset with myself, I was hoping Ryder might let me see Shasta perform today but I haven't asked him yet.

We walked in to the building and I could see so many people, suddenly someone bumped into me from behind.

"Oh man, sorry Skye" Josh said as he came in.

"It's ok" I said trying to hide me being upset hoping he didn't know.

He signed in and went to go get some water and I sighed in relief.

"You seriously need to relax Skye, you will be ok" Ace said

"Easy for you today, you're not grounded" I grumbled

"Well that is not my fault. Just forget it, I bet Ryder will let you see Shasta perform today" she said

"I'm not too sure, he was not happy with me or chase last night" I said

Then sandy gave the morning update and we were told that camping and parking would be opening today. People got excited and Sandy put us in groups and we were sent out. I got to ride in a gator with Ace and a guy named Jim, he was cool according to Josh who was driving a different gator. As we drove out, I saw a firetruck pull up and Marshall was in the front seat of it.

When we got to our area, other volunteers piled out of the van, Ace and I got out of the Gator. We were in the parking area at the furthest end of the runway and close to the hotel. I could see Josh walking down one of the rows. I ran over to that row and he kept looking around and by the looks of things counting.

Just then Tony came by on a scooter, "hey tony!" I called

"what's up Skye, is it?" he asked

"Yep that is me, what is josh doing?" I asked

"Oh, he is going row by row counting spots." Tony said

"Why is he doing that?" I asked

"That way we know how many planes we can take before we close camping" Tony said.

Just then I saw Josh walking back towards us. "what have you got for spots Josh?" Tony asked

"We have a few straight in's, one in each of these four rows at least and multiple tail in's for all the rows, at least 2 each." Josh reported

"Ok, we will go down to the furthest row and hopefully we get a straight in first" Tony said

"I know there is a tail in spot just in case if we don't get a straight in first" Josh said

"Perfect, I'll let you know what we will do" tony said and sped off towards the entrance gate of the area.

We sat and waited for the planes to start coming in. we waited for about an hour just sitting around talking when in the distance I heard a humming. I turned around and looked up, I scanned the sky until I saw it. In the far distance were dots all in a line, within a few minutes they became planes flying in the landing path.

"Here they come" I said, the other volunteers stopped for a moment and looked up to see planes fly overhead. It took about ten minutes after that point when we saw planes rolling down towards our area.

For most of the day we would have rushes, there would be a span of a few hours of constant planes then a span of rest and then it would repeat. Then just after 2:30pm, I felt the wind change suddenly. I saw Josh watching a plane coming in to land with a group of other volunteers.

"He is coming in to wide" Josh said

"Ah, he will just over correct and land a little ways down the runway" Jim said to josh

"Woah, look at that" one said whose name was Steve

The plane made an incredibly sharp turn and lined up just before the runway. At this point I waked towards the group

"Oh crap" another volunteer said whose name was also Jim.

"Oh man he is coming in at a bad angle" another person said

"He is coming in too fast" Josh said, I had hopped of the back of the Gator

"Here he goes" Jim said

The white plane came in wobbly and the landed with a hop and then once her hit the ground something happened that made everyone stand up and block my view.

"Oh my god, his front gear snapped off" the other Jim said

"He is going into the ditch!" Josh gasped

"Steve, this is orange Sandy" his radio said making my jump

"Orange Steve, go ahead Sandy" he responded

"The airport has been closed because of a crash" she said

"Understood, we saw it. Are we closed for the rest of the time till airshow Sandy?" Steve asked

"Unknown yet, we have to see if they can clean up the mess in time. I'll let you know soon, Sandy out" the radio said. There was an eerie silence amongst us volunteers and we watched as people came from down the rows and crowded the line to get a look at the crash. I could see in the distance a fire truck speeding down the runway.

Could that be Marshall? I thought to myself. No more planes came as we waited for the word if we to resume our operation. After a while of waiting we could see vans and Gators coming towards us. Tony came riding down the taxiway towards us,

"Grab your gear guys, they have come to get us out; we are done for the day." Tony said

I put my pack on and I saw everyone grab their gear. Josh got off the back and walk around the back and hop in the driver's seat.

"Skye, Ace; you girls want a ride back with me?" he asked

"Sure" we both said and climbed into the Gator. We saw everyone else getting into other vehicles and we all drove off in caravan style.

"Hey Josh" I asked over the wind

"What's up?" he asked

"Is there a crash every year?" I asked

"This kind of crash does not happen very often. Last one I saw was worse than this happened a few years back" he said. We did not talk the rest of the way back. once we got back Ace and I signed out and we headed back to the hotel. Once we got back to the hotel we headed back to our hotel. Once we arrived we headed up to our room.

"So, what are you going to do for the day Skye?" Ace asked as we entered the room

"Hopefully see Shasta perform today" I said taking off my gear

"But your grounded" Ace reminded

"I know, I'm going to ask if I can go watch" I said heading to the door

"Well good luck Skye" Ace said as I left the room. I slowly walked to the room and stopped in front of the room. I stood there for a moment debating. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Katie was the one who answered the door,

"Hey Skye, how was Volunteering?" she asked

"Interesting, is Ryder in there" I asked

"Yeah, come on in. what do you mean interesting" she asked

"A plane came in to land and it crashed" I said

"My goodness" she gasped

I walked in the room to see Ryder sitting on the bed. "I'm surprised we weren't called to help" Ryder said

"The fire department for the airport was there in seconds" I said

"What about Marshall, I know he was volunteering with them today" Ryder asked

"I don't know. But anyway, Ryder I wanted to ask you something" I asked

"Go ahead Skye" he asked

I pawed at the ground and the looked up "I was wondering… if… I could… um… go and see Shasta Perform today?" I finally said

Ryder looked at me for a moment then stood up and walked over by the tv in the room. He grabbed some papers and shuffled through them a couple of times. The wait was excruciating, but I held my mouth shut. Then he turned around and looked at me,

"Skye, I'm sorry but no. you are grounded after all" Ryder said

"What!? please, please just this once." I begged

"No Skye. Besides Shasta and his partner perform other days as well this week. We are still early in the week as it is." Ryder said walking towards the bathroom

"But I…"

Ryder turned towards me with a serious look on his face and I choked on my words "I said no Skylla, I don't want to hear you asking anymore. If you do you, will be grounded tomorrow as well." He warned

"Yes Ryder, I'm sorry, I'll just go now" I said heading towards the door then I stopped at the dresser.

I turned towards the papers Ryder was looking at "Ryder" I asked

He looked and saw me looking at the papers "what are those" I asked

He smirked, then walked over and picked me up "woah" I gasped

He set me on the counter "these are schedules of upcoming airshows for the week. There is one for each day and a couple for night shows." Ryder told me

I looked through them and I saw tomorrows schedule. We performed as well did Shasta.

"Shasta and Nick perform tomorrow and two more times this week" Ryder said

I was continuing to look through the papers and saw including tomorrow, we perform three more times. Suddenly I was lifted up "woah" I said as Ryder set me on the ground

"Katie and I have to finish getting ready, I'll see you later Skye" Ryder said

"Ok, I'll see ya later" I said and headed out. I got to my room to see Ace come out of the bathroom in a day outfit with a light blue short skirt dress with a white sash around her waist. She included a white sun hat and a white hand bag with a wave design on it in blue.

"So, what did he say?" she asked

I shook my head and hopped on the bed "I'm sorry to hear that Skye" Ace said

"Me too, that sucks"

Then Everest came out of the bathroom. She was wearing a navy-blue skirt with a belt included as part of the skirt, a Cherokee polo shirt. She also had a nirvana jacket with a black purse.

"Wow you two look cute" I said

"Thanks Skye" they both said

"So, what are you going to do now?" Everest asked

"I don't know. but that doesn't concern you two, go have fun" I said smiling

They both looked at each other "We are really sorry Skye" Ace said

"What for, I caused this. You two did nothing wrong" I said thinking to myself

"We know but…" Everest started

"Oh no you don't" I interrupted jumping down "Don't go feeling bad for me now. Go out and have fun today, I will be fine." I said ushering them out the door

"Ok, we'll see you later Skye" they said, I closed the door once they left.

"What am I going to do now?" I asked myself as I looked around the empty room.

Woah, that was crazy. A plane crash, you don't see those in person much. What will Skye do, as well as chase since they can't leave the hotel? these questions and more will be answered in upcoming Chapters, stay tuned.

as always; if you have comments, questions, or reviews, leave a review or PM me for a more one-on-one conversation.

Until we meet again, TTFN!
