And a new chapter for the main story. I know it is kinda short but I remember enjoying writing this before my computer crashed (Harddrive issue). It took forever to retrieve this and the rest of the chapters but it is back and now online. I hope you enjoy. Thanks to Mr. CBear56 for proofreading.
Sylvia was surprised by everyone showing up to her while she was working, she also showed a little disappointment when she noticed Tracker wasn't among them. She still walked up to them.
"Howdy PAW Patrol, what brings you all here?" She asked.
"We were actually just here to ask a question." Ryder explained.
"We wanted to hear your backstory." Skye said.
` "Um... why?" Sylvia asked.
"You are the only other pup we talk to in Adventure Bay, so we were just curious." Rocky explained.
"What about Tracker? Where is he?" She asked.
"Well he was busy today and we always seem to think of asking on a day he isn't available." Ryder explained. Suddenly he got a call.
"Hola! My date finished early. Where are you guys? I am at the lookout." Tracker said.
"Oh? Well we aren't there. We are at the farm. If you want to..." Ryder replied.
"Estoy en camino, I am on my way." Tracker said quickly.
"Well, while we wait, I have something to say. Have you heard the news?" Sylvia asked with a smile.
"You mean about farmer Yumi? I haven't told the pups yet." Ryder told her.
"What's going on with farmer Yumi?" Chase asked.
"Their family is going to get bigger soon pups! Farmer Yumi is pregnent!" Ryder explained. The pups all gave excited gasps.
"Their family has already gotten a bit bigger as I have agreed to stay with the family. The others I worked for moved to a place that they felt would be more fitting for herding. Not sure what they were talking about but whatever." Sylvia told them.
"Oh? That will make it easier to find you. Tracker will like that." Ryder quipped.
"Heh, yeah... I hope nobody took our white lie too hard." Sylvia added.
"It went over surprisingly well." Ryder told her.
"That's what Tracker told me, I wasn't sure if he was just saying that so I wouldn't feel bad." Sylvia replied.
"He meant it." Skye replied.
"He may soon need a shoulder to cry on, as he is dating but they have nothing in common." Sadie said.
"Okay. You are all welcome anytime of course." Sylvia replied. At that moment Tracker rode up. He appeared to have been crying.
"I'm guessing Olga decided it wasn't working." Sadie said.
"Yeah... I agreed but it still sucks." Tracker admitted.
"When did it happen?" Sylvia asked.
"That is why our date ended early." Tracker explained. Sylvia went wide-eyed.
"How have you already recovered?" She asked.
"He hasn't, this isn't the first girl who has left him. He has gotten better at holding it back in front of others." Skye said, sounding somewhat sad.
"Well then! You guys wanted to hear my past, here we go." Sylvia said, clearly feeling uncomfortable with the situation.
"I would also like to not talk about what happened with Olga." Tracker muttered.
"Ahem, so my family is quite the interesting one. You would probably be surprised to hear that I am not a pureblood. My mother's maternal grandmother was a border collie who had a tradition involving a slightly sink or swim method. She only insisted on it for those most like her. I remember my mother worrying that none of her children could follow the tradition. The tradition is that on our 3rd birthday we would be sent somewhere that needed a herding dog. I was the only one who had the energy and conviction to leave. I constantly write back revealing how I am doing. Now I can tell them that I have a perminent home, which means I passed the test." Sylvia told them.
"So wait, you have been doing a test for..." Tracker began. "Siete aƱos?"
"Er..." Sylvia began. "Seven... what?"
"Seven years." Tracker explained.
"Ah of course." Sylvia said with a slight look of embarressment. "That would be correct. I don't really have anything else to say. What's your story Tracker?"
Tracker smilled, "I grew up near the jungle when I wondered off into it, looking for adventure. I had all intention of returning home afterwards. However, that is when I heard Carlos. After our adventure together I went and told my family." Tracker's smile fell. "They then told me that they had been planning on moving for a while. I mentioned Carlos and the PAW Patrol and they agreed after a while to let me stay with him. I also write my family once a week, so I am still in contact with them.
"That's too bad." Sylvia said.
"At least you aren't an orphan, like the rest of the team." Sadie said.
"What?" Tracker yelled. Everyone besides Sylvia began to look nervous.
"Except me." Ryder quickly said. "I'm not an orphan."
"What about everyone else? What is their story?" Sylvia asked.
"I will tell you later. It is a bit of a sensitive subject for the pups." Ryder said.
"Oh dear... I'm sorry. I meant no offense." Sylvia said after a pause.
"None taken." Chase said. "Hey do need any help with herding?"
"Thank you for the offer. It is about time to bring the sheep in. Why not? Al and Yumi wouldn't mind." Sylvia told him.
"I am going to go see sensei Yumi." Marshall said. "Wanna come Everest?"
"Of course!" Everest replied. The two headed for the farmhouse.
Well... There isn't much more to say. Next chapter is based off a suggestion. I hope you enjoyed.
