Past

AN: I think this will be my final chapter so let's get this story finished.

Chapter 3: Future…

Zuma has gotten older; he is now a 17 year old labrador. He was smart, funny and still liked to do pranks. Meanwhile Stella was now a 24 years old serious person. She was more careful with her decisions and has grown to be very tired of Zuma and his pranks and jokes and told him when he will be 18 to get a job since she took care of him for all these years. With Luna now she was more different, she was a 25 year old shepherd, she changed very much from a very mean bully to a more loving person since Chase moved with her and Coco some years ago, but Coco changed for the worst she became more of a bully since she realized how much she was laughed at when younger.(now she is 23). And Chase wanted to become a cop and became more serious then Zuma since the lab was kind of careless.

On a morning day…

Stella woke up with Zuma looking in drawers for something in her room.

''What do you want?''growled Stella, already knowing the answer.

''Can you lend me 50 bucks?''asked Zuma, looking as bored as ever, he now went outside for most of the day.

''No you already own me 300 bucks, so until you give me those back no more money for you Zum.''said Stella with crossed paws. She really wanted him to mature but he became more and more disrespectful and lazy not doing any chores when she just wanted a helping paw.

''Oh come on, don't be that sister.''said Zuma rolling his eyes. But Stella didn't take that kindly.

''When will you actually find a job?''asked Stella. ''You promised me you will get one.''

''Not in the near future.''said Zuma, grinding.

''Oh really? Good thing I sighed you on a competition for the post of a rescue diver.''smirked Stella who showed him the papers and all her signature.

''W-what? I won't go to this thing.''said Zuma wanting to just rip these papers appear but Stella quickly took them away.

''Oh you will go. I will be personally there and I want you to put effort into this competition. Plus I know how much you like swimming so this might be perfect to you.''said Stella now making Zuma change his mind a little.

''And what if I don't pass this intentionally?''asked Zuma, preparing to run out of the room but Stella pinned him down and he couldn't move. ''After all these years and still I can't beat you..''said Zuma struggling to get out.

''You never will.. And to answer your question. I will kick you out of the house since I've been tired of all of your joked and stupid pranks. You have grown to be so annoying and tiring.''

''Fine..I will do my best..''said Zuma, now getting released. ''When will the competition start?''

''Today around 2:am.''

''WHAT? I don't have time to train.''

''Oh don't worry you will pass it, it is made to be easy.''

''If you say so sis..''said Zuma before getting ready to start the morning.

Meanwhile at the shepherd residence…

Chase wanted to talk to Luna about him joining a patrol in the city but he was afraid of her answers. But he was lucky she seemed to be in a good mood today. So he went up to her.

''Hey Luna, can I ask you about something?''Chase asked nervously. He knew Luna was good at making decisions so if she says no that won't really be a surprise.

''Yeah sure.''

''Can I participate in the competition for being a cop?''

''Hm..Yeah why not..''

''Cool but can you come with me? I need you to sign some stuff for me.''

''Sorry Chase but I can't come with you, I need to go to work. But Coco can if she wants, she can also sign those papers for you.''said Luna before leaving for her job. But there was something going on. Luna never told Chase what she worked as and whenever Chase asked her she wouldn't say a word, but for now that was the least of his concerns. So he decided to ask Coco to come but he knew how she changed and was a bit afraid to talk to her. But he took his heart in his teeth and went into her room. She was laid in bed eating snacks as usual.

''Hey Coco, will you come with me to a competition? I only need you to sign some papers for me since I'm not old enough to sign them myself.''asked Chase, already prepared to receive a no to the face but to his surprise he heard something else.

''Why not? I can't wait to see some dogs fall on these probes.''said Coco, getting out of bed and making some breakfast before going to the grand competition. ''Thanks Coco.''

''No problem little bro, your big sis got your back.''said Coco rubbing his head. She was mean to some dogs but with Chase she was more friendly.

At the competition…

Zuma was a little scared, if he failed Stella would be angry. He didn't know if she was joking about the part with kicking him out of the house but he didn't want to take any chances.

Chase was a bit optimistic, he knew his physical abilities but he knew he shouldn't be too confident. Coco told him that the competition might be easy but still he should put in a little effort. Then they met with Stella and Zuma.

''Hey Stella, sup Zuma, how is your day?''asked Coco.

''It is fine, Zuma will try to participate to become a diver.''responded Stella.

''Nice, Chase will try to become a cop.''

''Hey you two a speech will begin.''said Zuma shutting the two all turning their attention to the mayor of the city Mayor Goodway.

''Citizens of adventure bay, today our selection for the new members of our beloved Paw patrol will now begin.''said the mayor before giving the mic to a black shepherd wearing a cop uniform. Chase instantly knew who that person was.

''Indeed mayor, today the Paw patrol will have more young members so our older members can retire.''said Luna, stopping for a bit. ''Now our dear participant follows the members of your desired role and prepares for your challenges.'' said Luna before going to the line for the police pups and Chase also followed. Zuma went to the diver line who was manned by none other than Stella who was wearing a diver suit. ''So this was her job…''though Zuma. ''Why didn't she tell me this?''thought Chase. Luna could have told him but it looked like she wanted to do a little surprise. ''I wonder if Coco knew about this..''

''Alright pups, after me to the firefighter role.''said Coco wearing a firefighter uniform. All this time the three older dogs worked in the paw patrol but they never wanted their little sibling to know. And after all the lines were set a boy walked to the speech desk and grabbed the microphone.

''Dear pups, My name is Ryder, the founder of the Paw Patrol. I'm very happy to see that so many of you are willing to help our dear city. You will be guided by our veterans to your respective roles and will be tested to see if you are fit to join. Now let the competition begin..''said Ryder before leaving the desk. And all of the dogs began to howl with joy and the competition soon started….

The end of the story…

AN: I know it's a sudden end and some of you will ask ''well what happened?'' but don't worry. The next story will explain everything. This was after all a little chapter looking at the future of our little friends. So until I write the next story, see you next time, goodbye.
