Chapter 5: My own jet.
The next day, I went to the Mission PAW HQ where Ryder greeted me in front of the door.
"Good morning Ryder! How's Skye?" I asked. Then, my question was answered as a happy and healthy Cockapoo appeared from behind Ryder.
"Paul, you're here!" Skye exclaimed as she playfully tackled me down to the floor while giving me puppy kisses in the face.
"No, sto-ho-hop, that tickles! Hehe!" I exclaimed as she got off me.
When I got up however, I noticed something...
"Uh Skye, why are you in your flight suit?" I asked, a little nervous.
"Well," Ryder answered me. "Since she's in good shape, the doctor told us she could partake in our rescues."
"And that's not the only reason why." Skye said happily. "Because... we have a surprise for you!"
"Hmmph, really?" I said with a grin and crossed my arms.
"Yup! Because of your outstanding efforts to help Skye and fix her jet, we want you to partake in this rescue!" Said Ryder.
"Wait, really?! Awesome!" I exclaimed. "But, uh... I didn't really fix anything, just did the troubleshooting on Skye's jet." I admitted.
"But Rocky couldn't have fixed Skye's jet if you hadn't told them where the problem was!" Chase said from the other side of the room.
"Oh, hey Chase, didn't see you there!" I said.
"Anyway, I would like you to come down with me in the elevator. That's where your first surprise is." Said Ryder.
So I went inside the elevator along with Chase, Skye and Ryder, and we went down. As the platform reached the Mission PAW symbol, it shone and when we emerged at the bottom, the three of them still looked the same, but... I looked at myself...
I was wearing a black and silver flight suit and a helmet with the similar color scheme.
"Wow! So this is my flight suit?!" I asked ecstatically.
"Yep!" Ryder answered. "Plus there's one more..."
He pushed the button on the control panel. and instantly, the floor a few feet next to me opened and from the opening, I was left speechless when I saw a silver-black jet that looked like an F-14 Tomcat, but smaller.
"Wha...wha..." I still had a loss of words at what was in front of me, but I didn't realize my mouth was open and Ryder closed it.
"So, Paul. Wanna be on this rescue with us?" Ryder asked me.
"Y-yes sir Ryder sir!" I said as I straightened myself and saluted sternly.
"Well then, you could start by rolling out. Care to do the honors?" Asked Ryder.
"I thought you'd never ask," I said, grinning. "Mission PAW is on a roll!"
And with that, all the pups barked and howled towards their jets and I went on mine. My cockpit was simple, but had a lot of important components, with a small touch-screen, as small as a credit card, on the center, with the attitude indicator above it. The throttle lever was beside me.
When all the pups hopped on their jets, their visors lowered and I lowered mine. We all floored the throttles, and our boosters activated, sending the jets forward and shot out of the secret exit from underwater.
