That night, Ryder, Sky, Zula, and Rocky were preparing to leave for space to infiltrate the Catarlas' ship.
"Ryder, are you sure that we all shouldn't go?" asked Everest as she stood with the rest of the pups.
"We'll get around a lot easier the fewer of us there are," said Ryder.
"Don't worry, we'll come back," said Rocky who had fixed Zula's ship for them to leave in.
"Hey, Sky, can I talk to you for a minute?" asked Chase.
"Sure, Chase," said Sky with a smile. The two then moved to where they were alone and out of earshot of everyone but Tracker.
"What's up?" asked Sky.
"I've been meaning to tell you this for a while now, Sky, I've been in love with you for a long time now," said Chase with a nervous expression.
"I know," said Sky as she smiled again while her tail wagged.
"What?" asked a surprised Chase.
"In fact, I've known for years, and I love you too," said Sky.
"You do?!" asked Chase as his tail wagged.
"Of course, and I expect a date when I get back," said Sky before giving him a quick kiss.
"Sky, it's time to go!" said Zula as she stood at the door to the ship. Everyone else had already boarded.
"Coming!" said Sky before running to the ship and boarding.
"Good luck," said Chase as he and the others watched the ship take off.
"So, you finally asked her out," said Tracker as he looked at Chase with a smile. This made the others look at him too.
"About time!" said everyone.
"Ahem, let's get ready for their return," said Chase who was blushing.
