Katie was going to the patrol base because she hadn't seen Ryder and the company in a long time
As she was about to enter, something on the ground caught her attention
It was a piece of chocolate
She picked it up and after checking for ants, she ate and came in and the first person she saw was Chase
Ryder hummed a bright tune to himself as he flicked through the numerous papers littering his desk, arranging them alphabetically in orderly piles.
A sudden thunderstorm of footsteps in the corridor broke the silence and tranquility at the patrol base hospital, and Ryder looked up from Skye medical history to see the door open and a maddened Rocky with his cap on his head tilted through it.
He turned like a wild, emaciated animal, his eyes finally settling on him before running towards him.
- Ryder! Thank god you're here! Please, I need your help! I don't know what happened, it started so suddenly!
Ryder dropped the papers as he got up from his chair and placed a hand on Rocky's back, trying to calm him down.
- Relax. Everything will be all right ... he said in a slow, calm voice ... Now tell me, slowly and from the beginning. What happened...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
They turned and this time found Chase at the entrance.
He seemed to be trying to squeeze through the closing door behind Rocky only to get between the door and the wall.
Chase grabbed the door and forced it to open again.
He turned his head to meet Ryder and Rocky's eyes.
- Ryder, I think I may have a problem.
- Oh Chase! A singing voice came from the floor.
Ryder's eyes drooped and he stared in shock, covering his open mouth with his right hand as Rocky hid behind him.
Stretched on the floor, with her hands clasped around back Chase , was rubbing her head against his back like a tender kitten, she was Katie
- Oh beloved! The inexorable walls of this building may try to tear us apart, but my love for you will destroy anything that dares to tear us apart!
- Ryder, please ... begged Rocky, grabbing Ryder's leg ... I think there might be something wrong with her ... one moment it was perfectly normal, the next ...
- O beloved, my love for you is like a madly blooming rose on a misty spring morning ...
- ... She was running behind him like a crazy teenager! And then...
- ... Let's escape together! Just you and me baby! You are our own place, somewhere far away, where no one will disturb us and we can be alone together ...
- Take her out!
- ... she was actually trying to kiss him! but he broke away ...
- ... the world may be against us, but fear not, my favorite! Our love will overcome all, transcending species differences and discrimination ...
- ... She was crazy with love and tried to catch him from behind ...
- AAAAAAAAAA My bells!
Everyone in the room was suddenly cut off when Ryder broke free from Rocky's death grip and walked over to Katie, who had been squeezing Chasea's life away.
He grabbed her under the armpits and with his hands grasped the nape of her neck and pulled her back, relieving his clutching hands from Chase's chest and other parts of his body.
Katie barely noticed she was dragged to a clean crib, still making the catchy movements and the unsettling noises of kissing Chase as Ryder laid her down on the fresh quilt.
- Okay, now that everything is under control ... can you please tell me exactly what happened?
Rocky crossed his paws, nervous.
- A ... as I said, she was crazy as soon as she walked in ...
- I saw him eat chocolate.
Ignoring Rocky, Ryder kept her eyes on Katie as she fought on.
- So she started acting like this after eating the chocolates?
- Ah, my love, little dog of my heart ...
- Yes
- Show.
- She was lying on the ground and what she ate was the only art.
Ryder looked at Katie.
- I already know
- What? What do you know ? Rocky demanded.
- I know what caused it
- What? What?
- Adomar ... Ryder replied ... A strong 'love potion', as romantics like to call it. Of course, as far as I am concerned, I do not attach much importance to its supposed 'magical' properties, but I cannot deny that it is mysteriously effective ...
- Will you be able to provide her with a cure? Chase asked, daring to take a step closer. Still sore from the hand of Katie who caught the "bells".
Katie muttered something about their little hybrids as she collapsed into a limp puddle on the bed while Ryder stood over her helplessly.
- Cure? No, I'm afraid there's no cure. However, the effects are only temporary, so we'll wait for it to get out of her body ...
- Oh, Chase, sweetheart! ... Katie sighed, settling into a supine position on the bed ... Don't you want to cuddle with me in bed?
There was another, even longer silence as everyone in the room stared at her in a very provocative position for dogs and people. Ryder awkwardly swung his hips back
Then Chase started backing away from the hospital, pacing backwards, focusing his attention on Katie like a mouse watching a waiting cat.
- ... I should go.
With those words, he disappeared faster than anyone before
Rocky stood still, shocked by this new revelation, until Ryder summoned him to reality, saying
- Go dump the rest of the chocolate.
- Oh, Chase, baby!
