This one is inspired by Medic Glace's one-shot story where they wrote about Marshall's diary so I got inspired to write one about Ryder having a diary but I'm going to twist it up a bit since their story was only entries of the diary.
It was a peaceful afternoon and the pups were all bored out of their minds. Ryder was currently out since he promised a few people that he would help them out. Anyways, that's when Rocky came from the elevator with a book in his mouth. "What do you have in your mouth Rocky?" Chase asked. Rocky put the book in the middle of the pup circle they formed but the book was some sort of diary. "I was cleaning up Ryder's room even tho it's not dirty at all but I just decided to do so to be nice and I found this book so I decided to bring it up in case any of you guys know what it is." Rocky explained and all of the pups stared at the book. "I think it's a diary." Skye admitted and all of the boys gave her confused looks. "Well that may be possible because it does look like a diary." Marshall admitted and Rubble out of curiosity and the first page read.

"Dear Diary,
this is my first entry of this diary and I should introduce myself. Hi, I'm Ryder and I currently live in Foggy Bottom with my mommy. My daddy is in the hospital in something called a coma and I miss him loads but it's totally my fault. My parents were arguing the night before my 2nd birthday and they divorced but when daddy said he was taking me with him, my mom grabbed a gun and shot him so now he's in a coma and it's my fault. If I didn't exist then my daddy would be awake and he would be living with his family of puppies in a town called Adventure Bay. I am currently 2 years old and my mommy hates me a lot and I'm ok with it. So yeah, that's it for today and maybe I can write in you later, Bye! -Ryder"
The pups were shocked on what they read and they also couldn't believe that the diary was Ryder's diary but also how can a 2yr old have pretty good handwriting. That's when the pups noticed that there was more to the diary.
March 5th 2012 "Dear Diary,Hi, it's me Ryder again. I misbehaved by accidentally dropping a few glass plates that I was cleaning and my mommy got really mad so she punished me. Whenever I do something bad and my dad's not around my mommy would grab something to hit me, throw at he, or she would just yell at me. The reason they divorced was because my daddy found out what my mommy has been doing to me. I remember her threatening me if I ever tell daddy then she would do something bad to me and I always get scared. I remember the things she would always throw at me but if she doesn't have those with her then she would throw brusslesprouts at me. This gave me the minor fear of brusslesprouts and my mommy would always tell me that if I ever eat a brusslesprouts then I would get really sick and I may die and I'm scared if that'll actually come true! I hope she would be nice once more and I would have a great mommy that all of the kids have on the block plus on TV. -Ryder"
April 10th 2012 "Dear Diary,My mom decided to drink some adult beverage and she used the empty bottle to wake me. I hope this is a one time thing, please. - Ryder"
The pups then decided to skip a few pages that were written in his 2yr old life but then they found one the day before his third birthday.
February 28th 2013 "Dear Diary,I hate it here in Foggy Bottom! I hate it here and I hate being with my mom! I want daddy but he's not awake yet. I always get beaten by my mom for the littlest of things and for just existing. I feel like I'm just a waste of air and I don't want to be here anymore. I want to be free and to live a life where I'm not hated at all! I'm gonna run away and if I die then I don't care. I don't care what happens to me as long as I'm not with my mom or my neighbors! This old woman who lives next to me is really nice and I think of her as a grandma but I told her that I was going to run away tonight and she was a bit hesitant at first but I convinced her that I would be alright since I did take care of myself when I was sick and my mom left me home alone. I know how to take care of myself despite not eating for a year but I swear that whatever happens then I'll be able to handle it even if I die. So this is goodbye for now and if I kill myself then I'm doing the world a favor! -Ryder"
The pups were all shocked at what they read but when they flipped to the next page, they all sighed in relief.
March 1st 2013 "Dear Diary,Today is my third birthday and last night I ran away from my mom but as I was in the forest and I was close to the road that leads to a town with a hospital in it. I saw a food delivery van drive by and I made eye contact with one of the passengers. I got scared so I hid in a bush but I heard it pull over and it's doors opening and closing. When I peaked out of the bush I saw three people on the other side of the bush just looking at me. These people were my Aunty Goodway, Uncle Porter, and Uncle Turbot. Auntu Goodway asked me why I was doing out here and why I was outside alone and I told her the truth since I have to follow orders. They were all shocked and they decided to take me in and they all took me to a town filled with light and life and it wasn't foggy at all! The town's name is Adventure Bay and it was the exact town that daddy used to live in! I fell asleep in the car but when I woke up a girl with blonde hair and light blue eyes was on my bed and I jumped back a bit. Her name is Katie and a teenager boy who's named Jake came into the room and he came in with Aunty Goodway. I was given food but I didn't eat it yet and when Katie went to show me her favorite show, I sat down on the floor since my mom told me I'm not allowed to sit on furniture. I don't know why I agreed to come here and I am somehow feeling happy for the first time in my life and I had the best 3rd bday ever. -Ryder"
After reading a lot of entries of the Diary they soon came across one that Rocky, Zuma, Chase, Marshall, and Skye recognized that day as.
March 4th 2018
"Dear Diary,So remember when I told you about my dad's family of pups? Well it turns out they're a rescue group called the Paw Patrol which I thought they were called the Puppy Pergade and I feel so dumb just writing that out. Yesterday I saved a by from a tree and now today I joined their team where I met Marshall, Chase, Rocky, Zuma, and Skye but I met their current leader who is Chase's dad and his name is Bullet. Zuma can't pronounce his Rs like me, Rocky loves to create stuff like me, Marshall is really funny and can make me laugh, Skye is the type of pup who's inspirational to me and the others, and Chase is really cool and is like the alpha of a wolf pack. I didn't say much to them and I'm really shy to talk to them but I'm gonna have to get used to them since I'm now living with them at their base called the lookout. I'm really happy to be apart of their team and I can't wait to know what type of job I'll have on the team. Bye for now! -Ryder"
The pups then read the diary some more and they were all mostly entries of different important days of the paw patrol life including the pups's birthday. There was even an entry of when Rubble and the other paws joined the team but they all then flipped to the page of the diary that was written recently.
May 16th 2020 "Dear Diary,Remember when I wrote about that I didn't like my life? Well I take that back now and I actually like my life. I love my pups, I love my cat, and I love everyone in Adventure Bay! The Paw Patrol is where I belong and if anything ever tries to hurt them then they would have to get through me. I don't know where I'll be if I didn't see Mr. Porter's van or came across that Bunny in the tree or met Rubble, Everest, Tracker, Tuck, Ella, Rex, WildCat, Marshall, Chase, Rocky, Skye, and Zuma. I love them all and I know that this is the family I belong in and the town I belong in. If anything were to try to split us up then no matter what I would make sure that we stick together as a team - wait no, I mean family not team! Anyways, I love these paws to the moon and back and I hope they love me too. I don't know what adventures we'll go on next or who we'll meet but I hope that whatever comes next I get to do it doing the job I love with the paws I love helping the residents of the town I love. -Ryder"
The pups couldn't help but tear up and that's when Ryder came home and he saw the pups but before he can say anything they all tackled him into a hug. He then noticed his diary on the floor but he didn't get mad or anything, he just smiled and he hugged his pups as he teared up knowing that everything is ok no matter what.
