Time Flies
The entire town of Adventure Bay sat in a crowd at Farmer Umi's field. Even the police department, fire fighters and EMT's came. The common people and most of their children were wearing PAW Patrol styled clothing. Mayor Goodway took to the stage with a cup of water. "Our beloved PAW Patrol has yet again saved the lives of many last Saturday. When an incoming ship unexpectedly caught on fire...it seemed like there was no hope but Ryder wouldn't let that get in the way. Marshall courageously walked in and brought out 6 people. It would've been almost useless without the assistance of Skye and Zuma to escort them off the boat. Let's give a round of applause to these three!" The Mayor said moving out the way for Skye, Zuma and Marshall to walk onto the stage. The crowd cheered and clapped for the three. "Can't forget the man behind the operations!" The Mayor added queuing Ryder to head onto the stage. The four stood and waved like usual. It was their 12th ceremony in the past year and the town only got more excited. "It's crazy to think that one and a half years ago an eighteen year old kid walked up to me and said 'I need funding for a new project.' I didn't have much hope for it and didn't really want to do anything but when I heard he was the prodigy son of Haily and Officer Josh I was invested in it. I accepted it and now here we are. Saving lives and keeping this town safe." The mayor said repeating that story for the 12th time. The crowd was silent and patiently waiting for something to happen.
Behind the stage were the other 3 members of the PAW Patrol. Chase, Rocky and Rubble.
"It's incredibly interesting to see how the crowd hasn't got bored of the us. Our 12th time doing this and it's a repeat of the last one." Rocky chuckled at their stupidity.
"Don't be mad that you've only been up there 4 times and Skye has been up there like 8 times. Your time will come... next year." Rubble joked as he ate some treats. Rocky rolled his eyes. He's been up there the least out of the Paw Patrol while Skye has been up there the most.
Rocky decided to fire up another topic. "We've been friends for what? Almost 2 years now. Do you think there will be any more of us?" Rocky asked seeing if there could be anymore roles to fit in.
"More members on the team?" Chase asked. "6 of us seems like a lot already" he added. Rocky nodded in.
Rubble's facial expression looked like a lightbulb just got turned on. "I once told Ryder that we should get a specialized snow team. Wouldn't that be cool!" Rubble exclaimed revealing his genius idea.
Rocky shook his head and almost chuckled at the craziness of the idea. "That would be horrible. It doesn't even snow in Adventure Bay." Rocky replied.
Chase decided to share his thought on it. "I for one think it's a great idea. Maybe not a whole team but who says they have to live here." Chase said defending Rubble's idea.
Rocky's mind changed...somewhat "Hmm I guess if they were stationed in the snow where they should be then yeah but in adventure bay...that's an easy no."
"Imagine throwing a husky in the desert." Rubble said on the topic of snow. "It would have a heat stroke in seconds." Rocky joked. Chase decided to keep himself out of this. He tried to listen to as Rocky started to make hypothetical ideas with Rubble.
Ryder sat as the mayor finished her speech on how useful the PAW Patrol has been the past year and a half. The crowd started to cheer before Ryder hushed them "I don't think anyone has thought of this but hey! I'll be glad to be the first one to suggest it. When most of you hear the PAW Patrol you'll probably think... 'oh...just the small town team.' Adventure Bay isn't really that small I'm not sure why I said that but the point I'm trying to make is that I'm not stopping here!" Ryder said feeling the excitement course through his blood. The crowd was mostly confused. "Everybody starts somewhere and the Paw Patrol starts here in the city of Adventure bay! It went from a small idea to this. Now it's time make it international! Imagine what we could do if we could operate all around the U.S? Even the World?" Ryder rhetorically asked the crowd. "My dream was my father's dream. To help people in need. He died trying to do that..." Ryder quickly paused to make sure he didn't start tearing up. "I want to make it true. That is why I've already started make a second base in San Francisco California. One of our neighboring cities. I plan on recruiting more members. I believe any dog has what it takes. That is why when we accept new members it won't be purely based off of skill, it'll be off of character and truthfulness. My pups aren't the best at what they do, I sure wouldn't have said that last year. But their hearts and purpose is what makes them great! Raw talent can only go so far. The PAW Patrol is going to be better than ever!" Ryder yells as the crowed cheered and clapped while some of them even got teary eyed.
The pups were very concerned and how many more Ryder was planning on bringing.
That...that was 2 years ago...
Ryder looked out of the top of the lookout. He heard his phone ring. It was his mom calling on video. He pressed the green button and smiled. "Hey mom!"
"Hey honeeey, crazy how time flies. How's the whole Paw Patrol thing going?" She asked.
Ryder gave it some thought. "Nothing to spectacular, it's just been a pretty smooth ride so far." Ryder said.
"You're father would be proud." She complimented. Ryder sighed. "I'm trying my best."
Below him were 12 dogs playing. He sighed knowing he was going places and it was inevitable. He had a total of 3 bases and 36 dogs spread out across California. It wasn't easy. They needed a whole lot more money but that money came from the cities that needed them. They paid for the PAW Patrol to be there which wasn't crazily expensive. All they paid for was food and bills and Ryder did the rest. He looked down to his pups. Adventure Bay base is now called Base A for simplicity and it sounded cooler. It hosted 12 dogs including the original 6 members and 6 newer members.
They had 2 police dogs, 2 firefighters, 2 EMT's, pilot, genius, construction pup, 3 water pups. Ryder found it necessary to have water pups since they were located on the bay. The townsfolk were very proud to be part of history knowing they lived in the birth place of the PAW Patrol.
Ryder sips his coffee and walks down the stairs. Becoming a hero takes a lot of time off your hands. He decided it was finally time to do something he's been dreading to do knowing some pups have issues with each other. He presses an iPad and almost instantly the PAW Patrol ran inside and lined up...only to be knocked over by Marshall, one of their firefighters and the second member of the PAW Patrol. "Ready for action Ryder sir!" Chase exclaimed. Chase is the first member of the PAW Patrol and by far the most trusted by Ryder. "I should be calling you sir." Ryder chuckled and set down his coffee.
"What's the emergency?" A Belgium malanois impatiently asked. She was the second police dog in the PAW patrol. Her name is Luna. Her name isn't very fitting for her attitude.
"Uhh there is no emergency, Since I have two other bases to be at and attend to, as you know I'm constantly moving between bases and it always worries me that there is no sense of true leadership around them. And before I leave for the remaining of this month I wanted to fill that hole I've felt. Which is why I'm Officially making Chase the... I haven't gave it a name yet. I'll just say chief of the place WHEN I'm not here. I'll be assigning these roles to the other bases as well." Ryder said. The pups had mostly positive reactions. Well the original 6 members were proud including some of the newer members. "Better watch out Chase, you can still be outdone and someone else can get it." Ryder chuckled. He meant it fully. "So...Chase what are you're first commands?" Ryder asked.
"None... you're still here." Chase replied with a smirk.
Ryder smiled. "Nice answer, I'll be heading off now. Stay on you're best behavior." Ryder spoke before getting back up and leaving all 12 dogs in the room. "Oh...before I go Everest might be coming over. It's a 50/50 since she's busy helping Jake out with his break up." Ryder quickly said before walking back out again.
"Congratulations!" Marshall said patting Chase's back.
Chase found himself getting surrounded by the other pups, "what's our first task?" Skye asked with a wink. Chase nervously chuckled not knowing if it was rhetorical or not. "Can I have some space?" Chase asks. They dogs slowly back away. "You're lucky Ryder didn't pick me." Luna grumbled.
Chase shrugged it off since comments like those were pretty common from her. "Guess I have more experience." He fired towards her.
"Maybe you two shouldn't start arguing on the first day of Chase's new promotion." A golden retriever said getting between them. His name is Tuck and he's one of the EMT's along with his twin sister Ella. Zuma sat down with the other two water pups on the team. They were both older and took their job very lighthearted. "You ever wrestle a shark?" One said in an French accent. They were both wiener dogs named and were the only couple on the team. Named Arrby and Catherine... very human name if you ask me.
Zuma scoffed. "Pfft no and I doubt you have eithew" Zuma replied to his ridiculous statement. He didn't believe any pup in the world could wrestle a shark. Let alone surviving an attack from one. "I doubt you could even beat a cwab." Zuma insulted. "Watch you're mouth before I wash it out with soap. Pretty sure cathy would love to help me do it as well." Arrby threatened. "There will be no soap washing when I'm here." Chase intervened before it got taken a little to far.
Arrby rolled his eyes. "Buzzkill..." he mumbled as Chase walked away. "I heard that by the way!" Chase exclaimed.
Rocky walked up to Chase. "I heard Skye's little...comment back there and...are you two a thing?" He nervously asked. "No...never, she's more like a little sister...all of you guys are like younger siblings. I just think she's messing around." Chase replied letting him know has no interests. Rocky let out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness, I thought you did." Rocky replied.
Chase nodded. "I think I would appreciate someone...maybe a little bigger in size. That's probably my biggest concern." Chase replied. Rocky was even more relieved. "So someone like Luna? What about Ella? Ash? What about someone from a different base? Everest? Maybe one of our enemies?" Rocky said starting to list out endless possibilities for a mate. "Simply... no...to everyone you just said. Really? An enemy?" Chase questions.
"Hey, you could be into that I don't know." Rocky chuckled. Chase scoffed and watched as the pups slowly break off into groups. All that was left was Skye, Rubble and Rocky.
Zuma trotted down the street. He received compliments and hugs as he went. He inhaled the fresh coastal air and knew nothing could ruin his perfect life. Amazing friends, amazing job, both parents being alive, and a spectacular home. When he arrived at his destination he looked around to make sure nobody was watching. Last thing he needed was people knocking at a door of a house he didn't even live in.
He looked under the mat and found a key. He picked it up and hurried inside. "Hello?" He calls out to the dark room.
Seconds later the lights turn on. "I swear if you're a robber I'm going to blow you're brains out and shit on em" a deep voice threatened.
"No da *sigh* it's Zuma fow cwying out loud!" Zuma said with a laugh. Two labs walked out from a hallway. "How my little baby doing?" She said in a squishy like voice. She walks over and gives him a death hug. "Hey m-mom. Yo- you can let go now." Zuma coughed.
"What brings you here boy?" His father said. "Have you been playing god of war again?" Zuma questioned knowing his father has favoritism towards story games. He nodded. "Nice, I just decided to stop by. I was going to bring some flowews for mom but they didn't have her favorite colow...sowwy." Zuma sheepishly said.
"It's okay honey it's the thought that counts, you know your brothers actually got accepted to a college out in New Jersey. They called me and had some very exciting things to say." His mom said.
Zuma was in awe. He didn't expect anyone from his family to get into college. "Hey...I can still beat them up. And you guys have every possible sons you could get. I'm the not so smart yet sporty one and jack and Wilson are the weak little smart ones." Zuma explained. His mother shrugged not having a clue what he was on about. "Well I hope that's a good thing." His mom softly replied. "When's the next party?" His father asked out of nowhere.
"I guess the next big rescue we do. The EMT's are a big help." Zuma complimented for no reason. "The twins? You like talking about them." His mother pointed out. Zuma nodded. "Well yeah, they'we useful."
His parents rolled their eyes and chuckled. Zuma was going to say something on their synchronism but he got interrupted. "So how's Rocky doing?" His mom asked.
"He's doing fine like usual. I think he's catching feelings though so I'm not suwe." Zuma replied.
"He's catching feelings and you haven't even thought of someone? You gotta start catching up." His father said thinking of Zuma's current spot in life right now.
Zuma felt a little weird now that they are talking about getting a girlfriend. "Don't get me wong I've considered it but I guess nobody really seemed that interesting." Zuma replied backing up his reason fire not having a girlfriend. "Well you should get one, you'll feel so much better." His mom said.
"Yeah then you're stuck with them for the rest of your life and you get gray hairs earlier then you have kids which in this case you guys turned out awesome." His father joked.
His pup tag started to beep and glow. Soon Chase's voice rang in. "Paw Patrol to the lookout, Zuma, Arrby and Cath you need to be here quick!" Chase ordered
"I have to go, love you mom love you dad!" Zuma exclaims as he runs out the door making sure to not slam it. He tossed the key back under the mat and ran towards the lookout which wasn't to far.
As he was running a car stopped besides him. "Hey Zuma you need a ride?" A playful voice said. "Oh...*huff* yeah, I'm fast in watew not land." He said as he jumps into the vehicle. "Hey Ella, what were you doing so far out?" Zuma asks.
"Visiting my parents, what were you doing?" Ella asks back. "Visiting my parents." Zuma replied finally catching all of his breath.
Zuma raise his head to let the wind hit his face. He liked how it felt and how it basically blocked out all the noise for no interruptions. Ella thought it would be funny to hit the breaks a little extra hard.
The tires made a loud screech and on the inside there was loud thud followed an "owwww"
Ella started to laugh. "Come in stop slacking lives are at stake!" She shouts and ran into the lookout. Zuma quickly got up and ran inside. Zuma started to think of a quote he heard before. "Work now pain later... is it pain now work now?-
"ZUMA!" Ella shouted snapping him out of it. Zuma ran inside with the others and they sat in the elevator.
"Where were you two at?" Rocky asked.
Ash pushed Rocky. "They obviously weren't making out. They only came back in one vehicle and laughing on the way in." Ash teased. Zuma and Ella nervously looked at each other. Zuma moved around to make space between him and Ella. "How was it?" Rubble whispered to him.
"What?" Zuma questioned.
Rubble snickered. Zuma rolls his eyes knowing something dumb comes next. "How was your first kiss?" Zuma ignored him.
"Took you long enough." Chase said as they got to the top.
"No catch phrase?" Ash teased. Chase rolled his eyes. "Zuma, Arrby, and cath you're up. In the bay a boat is capsizing. Somehow other boats in the area are out of fuel...pretty convenient for a crime if you ask me. You three go rescue them."
The three all started to speak"Le- dogs started.
"I thought we agreed I was saying it?" Arrby said. Marshall got up and started to push them towards the slide. "Okay, twins you two need to make sure everyone is okay once they touch land." Chase said. They both nodded and went down the slide. They didn't have a catchphrase made up yet. "Luna, you need to try and find something on why every boat is out of fuel. I'll be right behind you." Chase said. Luna didn't say or do anything, she just went down the slide. "Someone's mad." Skye popped in.
"Yep." Rubble agreed.
"Skye, you need to fly above and call out any civilians on the boat or suspicious activity near the dock." Chase shouted as he went down the slide. Skye waited a bit so they didn't crash. There have been some accidents with impatient pups hitting each other.
Marshall, Rocky and Ash stood there not sure what to do. "So..." Ash plainly said.
Marshall shrugged as something came to his head. He evilly looked at Rocky then looked at Ash with a wink. She had no clue what he planned but she was gonna do what he did. "H-hey you two, you guys are looking kinda weird." Rocky nervously said. Marshall jumped onto him and held him down. "What next?!?" Ash asks not sure what the plan was. Marshall struggled to keep Rocky down. "Go... get the... whip cream!" He spat out. Ash nodded and sprinted down the stairs. "You don't need to do this Marshall." Rocky said trying to change his mind. Marshall shook his head. Rubble sat across the room in silence and watched everything unfold.
Zuma, Arrby, and Catherine drove out into the water in there amphibious vehicles. They stopped by the surprisingly large boat and there were no civilians to be found. "Come on!" Zuma shouted as he put on his scuba gear
They all jumped into the water and their flashlights turned on. Ryder put some pretty bright lights and censors for better view.
They swam around looking for any possible spots they could be in. Arrby was the only one with a working sonar since Ryder finished the mods on his first. "Do you guys see anything?" Catherine asked.
They both shook their heads. After a couple more minutes Arrby got something. "In here! There's a low banging!" He exclaimed and went to the door.
They tried their best to open it but the water has it shut closed. "I'll go up for the winch." Catherine said as she swam up.
On the shore the crowd nervously watched as this was going a lot slower than usual and they had no sight of them. News teams and people recorded while standing. "Please move out of the way! Lives are at stake!" Chase ordered through his megaphone and placed cones. The twins were right behind with their gear ready.
Everyone gasped as one of the diving team resurfaces and hops onto their vehicle. "Skye we're gonna need you to lift some people to the shore. There might be to many for us down here" Catherine said through the pup tag before diving back down.
"I got the winch! How many do you see?"
"I think we have six." Zuma replied.
She handed him the winch and he placed it on the door. It started to let out a noise. Arrby pulled out 4 rebreathers. "Two have to hold their breath." He said. Zuma nodded. They knew once the door came off they were on a very fast timer.
They moved back and the door was ripped of. They were sucked into the dry room. "You guys need to put these on!" Arrby said handing out the 4 rebreathers. "One is unconscious." Zuma said looking at an elderly man. Arrby took off his scuba gear and quickly put it on the old man. "I can get out of here without it. You guys follow me." Arrby ordered hoping his lungs could make the short yet long distance to shore. Catherine got down and was going to question why he didn't have his gear.
She went past him and saw Zuma struggling to pull the old man up. "Wait for the water to fill the room! He's too heavy for us." Catherine ordered. She got a rope and tied it to all three of them. They both started to swim up and dragged the old man. Skye hovered above them with a harness.
Once they reached the surface they saw Arrby coughing up water. "I'm good!" He weakly said.
They pulled the harness down into the water and put the man inside of it. Skye started to make her way to the shore. "WOAHHHHHH!" Zuma and Catherine yelled as they were taken up with the man.
Once Arrby made it on land Tuck and Ella were overwhelmed only being able to do light checkups on each person. It made it even more difficult with that fact that they didn't speak English. Skye dropped everyone onto the sand went back to assist Chase and Luna on the search for the culprit.
"Tuck! Ella! This dude is definitely not okay." Zuma exclaimed.
Catherine instantly got up and scanned around for Arrby. She found him out of breath sitting in the sand. "Thank god you're okay. What were you thinking giving him your gear?" She asked thinking he was out of his mind.
He took a deep breathe and smiled. "To save his life." He simply replied. She gave him kiss and the crowd gave an "awwwwwe" ruined their moment.
Tuck and Ella worked hard doing CPR on the unconscious man. It definitely made it easier have two pups do it instead of just one. The crowd was silent as they did their work.
He let out a gasp and coughed up water. The crowd cheered. "Get the oxygen!" Ella ordered. Tuck went over and grabbed an oxygen tank and mask. They put it on the elderly man and his breathing slowly steadied out. They high pawed each other and let out a sigh of relief. "Gweat job!" Zuma complimented.
"Yeah you two are miracle workers." Arrby added. "Don't give us all the credit, you guys brought them here and risked your life." Ella complimented back.
Behind the scenes Chase and Luna weren't having much luck at all. "I think we call it quits, this person definitely cleaned up the mess." Luna suggested. Chase reluctantly nodded and started to make his way towards the beach. "Alright Skye you can head back." Chase ordered.
"Alrighty then, see you back at the lookout." Skye replied. "They are probably destroying the lookout." Skye muttered. She scanned the sky to make sure no birds were nearby.
The twins handed out blankets and waited for ambulances to arrive and give them proper care. The crowd cheered making it difficult for the pups to communicate. Zuma didn't even hear his pup tag beeping.
The PAW Patrol regrouped and got into a tight circle so they were more audible. "Nice work you 5." Chase said. They all nodded.
A couple of the technicians walked over to go over everything with Chase. "Oh...I'm in charge but like not sure how everything works. Might wanna ask those two." Chase said as he looks towards Tuck and Ella.
They walked over to them. "We'll take it from here. Thank you for saving their lives." One of them says. They notice Zuma standing nearby as well. "Thank you too. Adventure bay would be in shambles without you guys." Another said to Zuma. They all nodded.
"Let's head home." Chase said as he lead the way to their vehicles.
Out in San Francisco Ryder watched in amazement with another PAW Patrol team. "Wow they are good." One complimented. "Yeah." The others agreed.
Ryder looked at them. "You guys will get there, experience comes with time and you guys are about a year or two younger than them. They weren't perfect when I made the team but they improved a lot. Started young like you guys too." Ryder said giving them a confidence boost. They all nodded not believing a word he said. "No way we can reach their level." One whispered to another who nodded in agreement. They were the youngest PAW Patrol team out of all three.(You'll never know their names lol)
The pups arrived to the lookout and were instantly shocked. Rocky was on the floor with whip cream covering his body. Next to him was Skye and Rubble who raised her paws. "It was Marshall and Ash!" Skye said ratting them out.
"Rocky get up." Chase sighed. Rocky got up and instantly went upstairs to shower with his tail between his legs . "Marshall!" Chase called out. Him and Ash nervously turned the corner. "I know this seems bad but it was funny." Marshall said trying to justify his actions to a straight and unfazed Chase. Chase rolled his eyes and sat down with everyone else.
3 hours later
The pups sat down and tiredly sighed. The soft noise of the shower could be heard. "It's weird how they take showers together." Rubble said trying to keep his head away from thinking of it. "Is that what you and Ella are gonna start doing?" Marshall asked to Zuma and Ella.
"Gweat! Now you made everyone here uncomfortable." Zuma sighed in frustration. He would never hear the end of this.
Marshall and Rocky chuckled at his anger and embarrassment. They found it amusing when Zuma gets angry
Luna looked at the clock and was unexpectedly surprised. "I did not know it was 8...crazy how time flies." She remarked.
A sigh could be heard. "Well then, I'm off to bed see ya tomorrow." Chase yawned and walked outside. Some of the other pups decided it would be best to head to bed as well while others decided to play some board games.
Let me know what you think about the chapter! I'll try to work on the flow and fluidness of the entire thing. Idk I'm just excited to be writing this:)
