FINALLY! It is done. I will be able to add several old chapters that I wrote a while ago. I should release them within a few days.


"So, this is it, at least until next year." Ella said.

"We'll miss you. You be careful out there. I for one will be checking in on the news whenever I am at The Lookout." Sadie said.

"Thank you. We'll try to be better about staying in contact, too. No promises. It gets busy with all the side jobs we do." Tuck replied. He noticed Ryder's look of concern. "Ryder, please don't worry about us. We're okay with this. It is better than dragging you all into the mess as well."

"I know, but it doesn't make knowing what exactly you go through any easier." Ryder replied.

"Send a postcard! Preferably as yourselves and not your hero selves." Rubble said.

"Apollo's a movie star right? Think you could get a signature of his? I don't care if he does only bit roles, everyone needs fans." Aqua added. "Just have him sign it under his character's name. Or title or whatever."

"We'll see." Tuck replied.

"He isn't exactly the nicest person." Ella added.

"Be safe, don't be a stranger." Rocky said.

"Hope to see you soon!" Skye called.

"We'll miss you!" Chase yelled.

"See you!" Marshall called.

"Adios mis amigos!" Tracker said.

"See ya later!" Everest shouted.

"Don't fowget to wite!" Zuma added. The group watched as Tuck and Ella left.

"Man, I'm really going to miss them. This week went by too fast" Marshall said sadly.

"I just hope they stay safe. Being a superhero at all times is dangerous." Ryder added.

"I doubt they want us to only worry about them all the time though. In fact they left me with something." Sadie said.

"What? What'd they leave you with?" Ryder asked.

"A scavenger hunt. We weren't able to entirely complete it but we will go as far as we got at least. Then I'll take you to the end." Sadie said.

"I'm sorry, but I've got dinner reservations." Ryder said.

"Oh... that's too bad. Could you join us for the first part, Sirrah? It kind of requires you. There is a segment for most of us, yours is first." Sadie said.

"Okay, what's the first hint?" Ryder asked. Sadie smiled.

"A lot of things began here. It is a second home to so many." Sadie read.

"Well that's easy, and convenient. The Pet Parlor." Ryder replied.

"Correct. Let's go!" Sadie said. The group headed to the Pet Parlor. Katie smiled as they walked in.

"What's everyone doing here?" Katie asked.

"Dropping off Ryder and getting the second part of the scavenger hunt." Sadie replied.

"Didn't you say there was supposed to be a challenge for each part of the scavenger hunt?" Katie asked.

"Yeah, but we couldn't think of one for Sirrah." Sadie admitted.

"I have one in mind, but it has nothing to do with his skills as a leader." Katie said with a devious smirk.

"Oh? What do you have in mind?" Ryder asked.

"Kiss me, right here, right now, in front of the pups." Katie told him. Ryder went beet red. Rubble grimaced. Sadie raised an eyebrow. The rest of the pups became very excited.

"You really expect him to do that, Barber?" Sadie asked.

"Not really, here, take the next clue a-" Katie began before getting her hand brushed to the side by Ryder, followed by the boy planting a long kiss on Katie's lips. Sadie's other eyebrow joined the first one as the pups gasped in shock. After a minute he broke away.

"That good enough?" He asked after a moment, face still beet red.

"Yes, I... Wow. I was mostly joking." Katie said still in shock.

"AHEM. The rest of us still need the clue, Barber." Sadie said, clearly not wanting to linger on what just happened.

"Aw..." Chase said.

"You'll have time to tease him later, Officer. You're up next." Sadie replied. Katie handed Chase the clue.

"This place, Sadie tells us, is very important to you. You've given us a why but how you remember this exact place is a mystery to all." Chase read. "The campsite I confessed is the general location. I know exactly where the next clue should be. Let's go."

"Was half expecting an earful for that." Sadie quipped.

"Eh, everyone already knows." Chase replied. "And you only just learned why that was so important to me."

"Well? Should we head to the old campsite?" Skye asked.

"Yeah, let's go." Chase said. "I get the feeling though that somehow, a lot of small secrets are going to come out." They all headed to the campsite. When they got there they saw a small box sitting in a good space for setting up a tent.

"They got it exactly right." Chase said after seeing the box. "The next clue is there, right?"

"That one is a challenge actually." Sadie replied. Chase opened the box. He wrinkled his nose for a second before reading the note within.

"The thing you smell will lead you to the next clue." Chase read. He began sniffing the air and noticed a slightly old scent trail.

"They set this part up on their own yesterday morning, I hope you can find it, Officer." Sadie told him.

"Yeah, shouldn't be a problem. They picked something with a long lasting scent." Chase replied. He quickly found the clue.

"Next up is Marshall." Sadie said.

"But the letter says it's for me." Rubble said.

"WHAT!? But we... they did some of this on their own time. They may have finished it. Now I hope that the mysteries aren't too hard or..." Sadie said before looking at Aqua.

"Most, if not all, of these places are important to each of you. Rubble, this is a place that of the pups, only you know of. We couldn't ask for Sadie's help without giving away a secret of the town. If you would prefer, you can go this alone with Ryder." Rubble read. "Well, going alone with Ryder isn't an option."

"Secret of the town?" Chase asked.

"Not really, but Ryder doesn't want us to dwell on some locations. It makes Adventure Bay 'Look a little less perfect'." Rubble replied.

"Adventure Bay has never been perfect." Chase said.

"Not my words. You'll get it when we get there." Rubble replied. He led them to the other side of town. There was a pathway slightly overgrown with weeds. Rubble began going through them. "It's this way!

"That's an actual pathway?" Marshall asked. Pretty soon they got through the weeds to a clearing of sorts. Before them sat a slightly small graveyard. The gravedigger looked at them.

"So, ya finally decided to break the illusion, eh?" He said.

"There's no illusion for us, Moriarty. Never has been." Rubble replied.

"I've always wondered why I never saw a graveyard." Chase murmured sadly.

"Adventure Bay is a place that likes to look forward and be happy, so somewhat hiding their sad past makes sense to me. Wish someone thought to say SOMETHING, but I don't blame them." Sadie said.

"I've known for years. Since..." Rubble began.

"This is where you were for a whole month, right? Before Danny visited you again." Rocky asked.

"Yeah. Hey Moriarty, did two golden retriever pups leave something here?" Rubble asked.

"Indeed they did. I guess you are here for the scavenger hunt, then." Moriarty replied with a scoff. He pulled out a box.

"Actually, one moment. I should show everyone where Danny is." Rubble replied. Moriarty got a look of surprise, then nodded. Rubble led them to one of the gravestones. "Hey Danny, everyone knows now, so they can visit you now too."

"Alright, I get the feelin you don't want to stick around much longer. Thanks for stickin round this long. You kids're all right." Moriarty said before handing them another letter. Rubble read it immediately.

"The next clue is hidden among the weeds. You could search awhile or you could fix up the entrance to this place. Adventure Bay should take care of the past, not just look to the future." Rubble read. "I couldn't agree more. Let's fix up that old entrance. I noticed some planks that I am guessing Ella somehow managed to sneak near the entrance. Nothing fancy for now though." The pups began cleaning the entrance. After about an hour they had manged to make a very simple gateway. Rocky got his truck and stored the rest of the planks for later. Rubble picked up the letter.

"Whose it for?" Aqua asked.

"You actually." Rubble replied.

"Uh, oh." Sadie said.

"This is hidden. Just go it with Rocky if you must. We don't know who all knows, but we figured it out. It wasn't hard." Aqua read. "Are you kidding me? Chase is the only one who doesn't know yet where my house is. Did they seriously manage to sneak around me though?"

"I had a feeling they did this, but I couldn't tell you how exactly. You were at The Lookout all week though." Sadie said.

"Where should I wait?" Chase asked.

"Don't worry about it, I think this is one mystery you aren't going to solve. You are too polite to get crucial clues." Aqua told him. The group began heading for the beach.

"What do you mean?" Chase asked.

"The easiest way to figure it out yourself would have been shadowing me, which you aren't willing to do." Aqua told him.

"Well lately you aren't at your house during the day, so shadowing would just be pointless anyway." Rocky admitted. "A house which isn't too far, admittedly."

"But she only ever goes to is the beach or... The... Lookout." Chase began. "Did you mean she is close to home always?"

"Yes he did." Skye confirmed.

"Then it is in the cliffside of The Lookout, close to the beach. That's close enough for me." Chase said.

"Yep, and we are about there." Aqua said as they got to the beach. "So how are we doing this?"

"I'll go get my truck again," Rocky said with a sigh.

"No Wocky, I got it this time. Evewyone else can swim so I'll just take you acwoss." Zuma replied.

"Rubble and I made a back exit, too. So you could take that." Aqua said suddenly.

"That's done?" Rocky inquired.

"You sure?" Rubble asked.

"It's not like my home is a secret to you guys anymore." Aqua said, running up to The Lookout. Rocky followed her.

"We'll take the other entrance so Chase can see exactly where it is." Skye called. The group eventually met up around Aqua's puphouse. Just inside was a box. She opened it.

"You know the small side room? Tuck can fit in the crack to it and he left a clue there. Your challenge is to take the long way and retrieve it." Aqua read. "Oh boy. This might take a while in this form. Give me anywhere from five to seven minutes before worrying." She dove down into the ocean outside. Six minutes later her head popped up in another cave viewable through a crack in the cave wall.

"Whoa." Zuma said in awe.

"Found it!" Aqua called. "This one is for Marshall." She passed it through the crack. "I'm coming back!"

"Okay. I guess I'll read it while we wait for her return." Marshall said. This is a place you have been a student for years. Now you have taught."

"Finally, one we all know." Chase said.

"Yep, let's head to the farm." Marshall replied. Aqua rejoined them and they headed to The Lookout and got their vehicles, with Aqua in Rocky's truck.

"I'll stay behind you Zuma. That should keep me from going too fast." Sadie said. The group made their way to the farm. They entered the barn, where Sensei Yumi was waiting.

"Hello, my student, I have your challange here." Sensei Yumi stated. She opened up an envelope. "This challenge is quite simple, hope you didn't all walk here. Use your ladder and get the clue from the top of the silo."

"Okay!" Marshall called. He climbed the ladder and quickly grabbed the next clue. "It's for Everest!"

"Back to having no clue what to expect. We only got Ryder, Chase, Marshall, Skye, Tracker, and Rocky, at least that I was aware of." Sadie said.

"You didn't get me?" Zuma fake pouted. Sadie glared at him. He just grinned in response. Everest rolled her eyes and read her clue.

"Lessons started where you are but something new arose." She stopped reading aloud and started to scan the clue. "Okay, they attempted poetry. They didn't do very well. The next place is the new dojo, next to the mountain bridge. Let's go!" The group headed off the farm as Sensei Yumi and Farmer Al waved farewell. They quickly reached the Dojo.

"Let's get inside, it's cold here." Marshall said.

"Why'd you get your dojo built here here if you don't like the cold?" Sadie asked.

"It was convenient for me. Not to mention this is where he confessed." Everest quipped.

"It was, wasn't it?" Aqua stated. "It's also where Marshall, Everest, Rocky, and Jake discovered my secret."

"Sorry..." Everest said as they filed into the dojo.

"Wasn't a problem. I have true friends now. This would have been a good spot for me too, if I wasn't worse with cold than Marshall." Aqua replied. They noticed Francois standing at the back.

"What's Francois doing here?" Chase asked.

"He's one of the people who agreed to do upkeep on the dojo." Marshall explained. "Hey Francois, do you have the challange?"

"I know where it is, one moment." Francois replied. He went to a back room. He came back quickly with a letter. He gave it to Everest.

"This challenge isn't perfect, but neither is Tuck's poetry. Build an igloo. A judge will always be watching. Well, that's ominous." Everest said.

"Let's build it together." Marshall said.

"Wouldn't be fair doing it alone." Everest replied. "We probably will want to finish withen the hour. Sun will be setting soon."

"Hopefully we finish before I have to deal with cold scales." Aqua quipped. The group worked fast and built the igloo quickly. Adventure Bay was coated in the orange glow of sunset as they finished. The igloo wasn't perfect but it was finished. From under the dojo ran Bayberry the skunk. She gave Skye the next clue and jumped into the igloo.

"For some, the best memories are in this place. It is different for many." Skye read. "Mine is at The Lookout... home. I get the feeling specifially the balcony"

"Ok, one moment." Everest said. "Bayberry? Do you want a ride down the mountain?" The skunk shook her head and gave a smile that seemed to say, "Thanks anyway." The group began going down the mountain and heading to The Lookout. Skye led them all up to the balcony and quickly found the challenge.

"What's special about here?" Marshall asked.

"Chase and I come here often to just talk." Skye explained. "Small things, mostly. But all worth it."

"Here's the challenge Skye!" Rubble called. Skye came over and grabbed the letter.

"Short simple and sweet, the next clue is hanging from the parascope." Skye read. She smiled.

"It was not simple getting it up there. Ella had trouble being gentle. I am amazed the parascope is intact." Sadie mentioned.

"Well it should be quick getting it back off." Skye replied. She produced her wings and quickly got the next clue. "It's for Tracker!" Tracker jumped.

"Everything okay Echo?" Sadie asked.

"Si solo un poco nervioso." Tracker replied.

"Um... I seriously still don't understand that. I know I little French but haven't the foggiest when it comes to Spanish." Sadie told him

"I'm just a little nervous, I said." Tracker explained.

"Here you go!" Skye said passing him the clue.

"Olga, Maria, Lotus, and Forrest. We know you haven't talked to any of them in a long time, but you almost always went somewhere." Tracker read. "I can't believe I got it right, this is leading me to Sylvia. She should be hanging out in the pasture alone but she is going to be so confused. And possibly angry."

"You think we didn't ask her?" Sadie asked. "She may be surprised at our exact timing but she said we were welcome to visit."

"Okay..." Tracker said nervously. The group headed towards Farmer Al's Pastures as the sun faded. Sylvia turned to face them.

"Hunh, I figured I'd be seeing you tomarrow at this point." The Belgian Malinois quipped. She revealed the challenge sitting behind her. "Brought it just in case."

"Thanks Sylvia." Sadie said.

"No problem. It's the least I can do for all you guys have done for Al and Yumi." She replied.

"There is a single tree in these pastures. The clue is in the branches." Tracker read. "Moving right along, then. The challenges they created on their own seem a bit more elaborate." Tracker said before using his cables to climb the tree. He grabbed the next clue. "For Rocky!"

"Oh yay! Wait..." Sadie began.

"First meetings are only need to be simple, but this is a weird place for you to be." Rocky read. "Just because I don't like water doesn't mean my first meeting somewhere near water is that weird."

"I'm guessing the answer is the beach." Aqua said.

"How did we not see that when we were at the beach?" Sadie asked. "I somehow managed to forget about the location of this one till now."

"Does it matter? Let's go to the beach." Aqua said. "I could use a dip real quick anyways, what with having this form." Sadie suddenly lit up.

"I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but the twins wanted your words. How did you fall for Nightlight, Mutt? They specifically wanted to know what you like about her looks." Sadie said.

"Looks aren't important." Rocky said. When he noticed Aqua's somewhat hurt look he continued. "If they must know, everything, night and day. From her eyes that glimmer like late sunset to her seashell-like tussle of fur, to her tails, both of them." Sadie's eyebrow rose.

"You care to finish that thought, Mutt? Kinda came out... odd. Yeah, odd." Sadie said.

"Her tail during the day is way longer than most Boykin Spaniels and her night tail has a cute and unique diamond pattern." Rocky finished. They arrived at the beach. Rocky quickly noticed the box sticking out of the sand. "Yep, right where I first saw her.

"And where we used to talk before I joined. I didn't realize this was still precious to you." Aqua quipped.

"Unlike the other challenges, we had to be creative with yours, Sadie is the only one who comes close to you in resourcefulness. There is a toy boat tethered to the bridge with the next clue." Rocky read.

"Sorry bout this, Mutt." Sadie said.

"I'll go with you." Tracker offered.

"I'll dwive alongside you." Zuma added.

"Thanks. I'd appreciate some company. Leave the actual challenge of grabbing the toy boat to me though." Rocky replied. The trio set out. They quickly found the toy boat. Rocky gingerly picked it up and checked for the recipient. "It's yours Zuma!"

"Awesome! Looks like Sadie is last then." Zuma said.

"If she got one. She helped with half of them." Tracker pointed out.

"Figuwing out a place for you was the hawdest to do Zuma, as you hold so much deaw to you. We had to go with the place you had the funniest moment." Zuma read.

"So Seal Island." Rocky said.

"Yep, you make youw way thewe, I'll go tell evewyone else." Zuma replied. Rocky did so and eventually everyone met up at the lighthouse. Cap'n Turbut came out.

"So I see you sweet pups decided to start scavenging today." Cap'n Turbot said.

"Yep." Sadie said.

"Here is the challenge." The Cap'n said.

"The clue is beneath the waves west of Seal Island." Zuma read. "Well this is going to be cold. Be right back." He dove into the water. He came back up with a box.

"Okay, so what's within?" Sadie asked. Zuma opened it.

"Youws," Zuma replied. Sadie took a deep breath.

"This was your plan to finish this endevor. You may bring them there now." Sadie read. "Let's return to the mainland." The group returned and followed Sadie towards the mountains. They went into a small side path and soon came to a clearing. The clearing was covered in flowers.

"Holy cow. Did, did you grow this, Sadie?" Zuma asked.

"Not exactly. I planted the seeds and let nature do the rest. I wasn't expecting them to cover everything. I just figured you all would want to see." Sadie explained. She noticed a final, larger but still small box with a note outside it. She picked it up and opened it, revealing a disc.

"What does it mean?" Skye asked.

"The note was a final clue, 'this is the end of the challenges'. It said." Sadie replied. Everyone got a call.

"PAW Patrol, I hope you are about done. It's getting very late and I would like it if you could return." Ryder said.

"We are on our way. All of us." Chase replied. They all returned to The Lookout and showed the disc to Ryder.

"I'll play it real quick." Ryder replied with a smile. He put the disc into a player and they all sat in front of the TV.

"Hello? Hello? Is it working? Hey PAW Patrol, this is our farewell disc. We hope to return next year but we can't guarentee that, so we felt it necessary to record something, in case you just needed to hear someone." Ella began. Tuck was in the background writing something. He looked up.

"We decided to leave a recording of our favorite things about each and every one of you." Tuck continued.

"Chase. We love your courage and your loyalty. You never stop doing your best regardless of the situation." Ella continued.

"Marshall. We love your goofiness and your determination. You don't let a simple lighthearted attitude make you vulnerable." Tuck said.

"Skye. We love your sweetness and your energy. You are always willing to just have fun and not let anything sour your mood." Ella stated.

"Rocky. We love your intelligance and your resourcefulness. You always seem to have a plan." Tuck remarked.

"Rubble. You... well let's just say that if you ever became interested in a relationship, you would have no problem. You are sweet and charming." Ella said with a blush, the pups noticed Tuck was the same way.

"Ahem, Zuma. You are fun and... well... likeable. It isn't hard to befriend you as you are just so friendly. It's hard not to befriend you when met." Tuck said.

"Everest. We love your kindness and sense of adventure. We know you love a good challenge, and that's always a good thing." Ella continued.

"Tracker. We love your courage and ... well, once again the fact that you are so likeable. You will do anything to help those you meet." Tuck quipped.

"Aqua... well we haven't known you for long and we didn't really hang out. But the fact that you were willing to trust us with knowledge you don't want spread around despite that fact means a lot to us." Ella said.

"And finally Sadie. You might be rough around edges but you have a heart of gold. Thanks for allowing us to confide in you." Tuck said. "Also Ryder, you are the best leader a pup could ask for."

"Well that it." Ella began.

"Till next time, PAW Patrol." The twins finished together. The video ended and the pups gave small smile.

"Well I don't want to get up now." Sadie said.

"That's okay, you all can stay here for tonight." Ryder said.

"Till next time, Tuck and Ella." Rubble whispered, with rest of the pups nodding in agreement.


Whew... Hope you enjoyed my longest chapter yet. I have no plans for anything nearly that length.
