Rocky Gone Rogue
Hey guys, Charisma here! I have quite a bit to say before we start, so hear me out. First of all, Thank you LightningPelt, Blaz3r, and Marshall V2018 for recently reviewing my story. It really helped. Special thanks to LightningPelt for the in-depth recap; It has helped me realize (mostly) what parts of my writing I could express upon and improve upon. Check him out! And Blaz3r and Marshall V2018 too! Awesome. Now, Second point, I have other ideas for stories and will be continuing to write, but all my stories (that are PAW Patrol, anyway) will all be in the same universe and in a specific timeline, meaning that since this is my first story, it comes first in the timeline, followed by my next full-length story (I have short stories planned that will be in the same universe, but will all most likely be flashbacks, back stories, etc.) Lastly, and you'll understand why I'm about to say this in a sec, but I will only be using the Latin alphabet, and not the Greek alphabet. That's all I'm gonna give away for now. No spoilers!
Disclaimer: I don't own PAW Patrol.
Chapter 4: Apelpisía
Rocky couldn't believe it! Another werepup! He thought there could only be one werepup at a time! The white werepup in front of him, who appeared to be a young border collie, was also apparently surprised as he spoke sentence after sentence in a language Rocky couldn't understand. But then the pup suddenly turned to him and said, "O geia, ta onómatá mou Elefthérios. Ti eínai dikó sou?" Rocky just stood there dumbly and stared at the pup, unaware of what the pup had just uttered. The white collie stared back, equally confused as to why the other pup hadn't said anything in return, but then thought back to his words and realized his mistake. "Oh, sorry, that means 'O hi, my name's Eleftherios. What's yours?' in Greek. I forget which language I'm speaking quite often. My bad."
Rocky stooped staring and said "Oooohhh, um, hey, my name's Rocky. What are you doing?" trying his best not to be awkward, but failing miserably as he shifted his paws uncomfortably on the concrete beneath him.
The other werepup noticed and tried his best to keep the conversation light and friendly; "Oh, I'm just digging through the dumpster, looking for food. Ever since i turned into….well, THIS," he gestured at himself,"I've been trying to figure out what happened, how it happened, and how to reverse it, all while trying to avoid my owners so as not to scare them." A shadow of sadness spread across his face, but was quickly replaced with a smile. "I like you,...what was it, Rocky? Yeah, Rocky. I like you Rocky. You seem fun. Wanna look for food with me?"
"What, no of course not, I'm trying to find a sunflower. Do you know where one is?" A sudden realization dawned upon him, and he added quickly, "You need one yourself, don't you?"
"Giatí tha chreiazómoun énan ilíantho? Why would I need a sunflower?" said Eleftherios. "Do they taste good? Are they nutritious?"
"No!" said Rocky, trying to hold back his laughter, "But if you sniff one, legend says you'll turn back into a regular pup."
"Pragmatiká!? Really!? Why don't we just go to Sunflower Valley then! They have plenty of sunflowers!" said Eleftherios, already jumping around Rocky in excitement and anticipation, "Let's go! Páme!"
"Wait wait wait! I already went there! There are no sunflowers; they've all been harvested for the season already! " Rocky said quickly, and the collie werepup looked at him with surprise, his ears drooping, his head hanging down, and his eyes beginning to fill with tears. "What do we do then? There are no sunflowers! We'll be stuck like this forever!"
"Hold on! I came here to Chattilan from Sunflower Valley to see if they had any sunflowers in the flower shop downtown. Do you know if they have any?" said Rocky hopefully.
"I don't know if they do or not, but aftó den échei simasía, it doesn't matter, they probably won't have any anyway." said Eleftherios dejectedly.
"Oh, come on, don't be like that! We've got to try looking, otherwise we'll definitely stay like this forever. We just gotta keep looking. But first, I'm going to go to the flower shop, just to make sure that they don't have any. Who knows, maybe they do have a couple left. Whadya say? Wanna come?" Rocky, filled with determination, asked the collie
"I don't know…." Eleftherios trailed off, his gaze shifting to his left, "I've never been so far from home."
"It won't be that bad. Come one, you can trust me." Rocky said cheerfully, his tail wagging.
"Ummm…...Entáxei, I'll come." said the white werepup, his furry tail also wagging now. "I guess it could be kinda fun!"
"That's the spirit! Now, let's go! I wanna get back to my team as fast as possible." Rocky said as he trotted off down the alleyway, Eleftherios by his side.
"He seems really nice. I wonder what he means by his team?" thought the collie and he and his new friend headed south towards the flower shop.
Meanwhile….
Ryder and the pups had arrived at Sunflower Valley about half an hour ago, and after seeing that there were no sunflowers to be sniffed, had spent time looking for indications or evidence of where Rocky might have gone, to no avail. Ryder had been trying to think of a plan, and he think he now had one.
"Alright pups, I have a plan to find Rocky. I'll call Everest, Tracker and Wildcat and have them meet us here in a little while. When they get here, Marshall, you and Everest search the north side of Jake's Mountain for clues; Zuma and I will search the south side; Rubble, search Adventure Bay; Chase, you and Tracker stay here to try find out which way Rocky might have gone using your tracking skills and tech; Skye, fly over the forest and search for clues from up there; and I'll get Wildcat to search the nearby town of Chattilan. We've got no time to waste, so as soon as everyone is assembled and ready, head off to your assigned location and task as quickly as possible to start looking. Got that pups?"
The five pups present howled their agreement, and began getting their gear ready for the search. About half an hour later, all the pups, and Wildcat, were assembled and ready to go.
Ryder looked everyone over, and said, "Be safe PAW Patrol. Now let's go find Rocky! PAW Patrol is on a roll!" And sped off towards the south side of the mountain. The pups (again, except for WIldcat) howled as they sped off to their respective posts.
A/N Now you know why I need to have Google Translate open all the time now too. It's a hassle, but a hassle I'm willing to bear if it means a more interesting read for you guys. I will also be uploading a new story soon, that will focus on Eleftherios' back story (one of the short stories, which will contain about three short chapters.) Hope you enjoyed, please review, and remember to spread the chaos (my new catch phrase, it's so cool!) Charisma out.
