Hey I'm back from probably the longests break I've ever had. It's been crazy with all my school work. I don't know what it was about quarter three but I didn't have any free time. But now I'm on spring break for a week (well probably longer) so I can finally write again. Also I should probably clear this up when Chase is talking or its in his POV I mean Chase's mind in Skye's body with Skye's voice. As you can probably guess that means when Skye is talking or it's her POV it's her mind in Chase's body with Chase's voice. I know it's gonna be confusing but it can't really be any other way. Thanks for supporting the story. I know it's been a while and this chapter is a little shorter but enjoy it.
When Skye woke up she felt as though her head had been hit by Rubble's digger and her lungs felt like they were on fire. She assumed that the burning sensation was from all the smoke around her. Skye had been taught how to breathe through smoke just in case her cockpit caught on fire. But just cause she knew how to breathe to avoid intake of smoke it didn't mean she knew why there was so much smoke.
"Woooah, I said I was sorry ok" Skye heard a loud metal clang but couldn't quite make out whose voice had seemed to be on the receiving end of that clang.
The ringing in her ears was still prevalent and getting to be unbearable. But as her vision started to clear she could make out two figures not too far in front of her. She recognized Rocky whose ash stained fur looked as though he had just stood behind a jet turbine. The other was a smaller dog that looked really familiar.
"Wait there's no way!?" She thought in alarm.
What she saw was a Cockapoo hurtling broken pieces of machinery at Rocky but upon further inspection she realized she was looking at herself.
"Sorry! You think sorry means anything right now!?" Skye saw herself yell.
Skye found the strength to stand although it felt a lot more different. She felt as though she was flexing without even trying and her body felt heavier.
As she stumbled over to Rocky and herself she just became even more confused at their conversation.
"I know just calm down and," Rocky paused when he noticed her "See I told you she would be ok".
Skye saw herself rush over to her "Oh Skye thank god your ok" She said to Skye. Which didn't help her already very confused brain.
"Y-yeah I think I'm all good" Skye said though it wasn't entirely true. Skye was shocked at how different her voice sounded yet oddly familiar.
When Skye looked at herself she couldn't help but notice how happy and relieved the pup was.
Turning towards the mix breed she asked him the only thought that came to her "Rocky did you clone me".
When she said this a nervous smile grew on Rocky's face "No I wouldn't say I cloned you, though that would be cool" he said slowly.
"Then care to explain what that is" Skye said, pointing to what appeared to be herself. The more she talked the more she noticed how her voice sounded deeper and more masculine.
Rocky hesitated before lifting up a shattered piece of glass and what she saw shocked her. In the reflection of the glass there was a handsome German Shepherd whose face she knew all too well. Staring back at her was Chase!
Suddenly it made sense why her voice seemed deeper; it wasn't her voice at all it was Chase's. She remembered how her body felt more muscular and heavier and when she looked down sure enough it looked like Chase's body.
Skye's mind was spinning yet she managed to say five words "Rocky… WHAT DID YOU DO".
Chase was disturbed watching himself yell at Rocky even though it wasn't really him it was still super weird.
"Weeelll I may or may not have body swapped you two" Rocky winced.
"BODY SWAPPED" Skye yelled, causing Rocky to wince.
Even though Rocky had already explained this to Chase it still didn't sound right. How could he really be in Skye's body? Both Skye and Chase were silent for a period of time mostly out of shock.
"And...how the hell did that happen?" Skye asked anger still in her tone.
"Here's what I'm thinking when I accidently broke the power lever," Rocky said pointing to a lever that appeared as though it had been snapped off of something "too much power was forced into the machine causing an overload of power and thus causing the explosion".
"Ok, now tell me why I'M IN CHASE'S BODY" Skye yelled.
"Well I don't exactly know" Rocky admitted.
"Wait but you know how to put us back right?" Chase asked.
Rocky got a nervous grin then looked down and pawed at the ground.
"Rocky, you know how to put us back right?" Skye asked this time.
"Well, um no not exactly" Rocky replied.
Chase then saw Skye launch herself at Rocky which he easily evaded and Skye fell flat on her face.
"Interesting when Chase was angry and threw things at me they came up short because of his new lack of strength," Rocky said, still dodging Skye with little to no effort "but with you it seems like being in Chase's body has made your coordination off and movements slower".
Chase wasn't sure which part to take offense to the fact that his body was too big and heavy for Skye to move properly in. Or that he could no longer throw things hard enough to hurt the Mix breed he was so furious at.
Skye had now grown tired of trying to tackle Rocky and gave up the futile effort.
"You gotta look at the positives," The Mix said earning two wild looks from the other pups "I mean no one has ever switched bodys before it sounds like something out of a crappy fanfiction"
"Ok but you're not the one in someone else's body" Skye said.
"True" Rocky replied.
"Any other positives you'd like to point out" Skye said angrily.
"Well I was strong enough to snap that lever clean off without even trying" Rocky said proudly.
"Slow down there Hercules we both know your machines are made out of junk" Chase said.
"Hey!" Rocky snapped.
"So you really put me in Skye's body with no way back out?" Chase questioned.
"Look I'm sure I'll figure out how to fix this I just need a little time," Rocky replied "So as long as you two just lay low we should be fine".
"Oh no" Skye said with a horrified look on her face.
"What's wrong?" Chase asked.
"I was supposed to have a sleepover with Everest tonight" Skye said.
"So?" Chase said which seemed to make Skye upset and caused Rocky to face paw.
"So, it was her first real girls sleepover. She was really looking forward to it" Skye explained in an agitated tone which caused Chase to wince.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to-" Chase started but was interrupted.
"It's fine, I'll just cancel or something" Skye said looking disappointed mostly for Everest Chase guessed.
Chase desperately knew he needed to fix this but he didnt know how. He looked at Rocky for advice but he just shrugged so Chase mouthed the words "This is all your fault". Running out of time Chase said the only thing he could think of.
"Don't cancel it" Chase said suddenly.
"What?" Skye said looking up.
"Don't cancel it if it means that much to Everest I'll go in your place" Chase said.
"I don't understand" Skye said with confusion in her voice.
"I look like you that means if I pretend to be you she wouldn't know" Chase explained.
"Yeah actually that could work" Rocky said affirming Chase's idea.
"Oh Chase, that's so sweet" Skye said as she hugged Chase.
Chase couldn't really tell if he was happy to be hugging Skye or weirded out that he was technically hugging himself.
"Ok since that's settled here are some things I should probably tell you two," Rocky said "First I know I can fix this I just need time, second I wouldn't advise telling anyone else it would just make things more confusing and third you-"
Rocky was suddenly cut off by Ryder's voice coming through all their pup tags "Paw Patrol to the lookout"
"Ryder needs us" The three said.
"That was quick thinking but are you sure you can pull it off?" Rocky said quietly to Chase.
Chase was the kind of dog who liked a challenge. Though he had never been in this particular type of situation there was no way he was gonna back down especially when Skye was counting on him.
"Yeah I think so you just work on finding out how to put me back in my own paws" Chase replied.
"I will, shouldn't be too hard all I gotta do is blow you two up again" Rocky replied with a sarcastic grin.
"Not funny" Chase replied with a grimace.
"Plus what's the worst that could happen until then" Rocky said as the two dashed to catch up to Skye.
