Chapter 7: Brothers

*Flashback Starts*

*1 hour after the competition was over*

Location: The Lookout

Marshall's POV

After the crowd and the other pups had left, Ryder told me to come back to the Lookout. It was then Chase figured out I had won.

"YOU WON! MARSHALL! YOU WON!" Chase said to me, hugging me

"Yeah I did Chase! I won!" I said returning the hug

"Alright you two, let's get a photo of the occasion yeah?" Ryder told the both of us as he was setting up a camera. Chase put his arm around me smiling and I did the same. We both saw Ryder tap the button and quickly get into his position. "*SNAP!*" Ryder then walked up to the camera and saw the photo "I'll give you both a copy, I just need to print it." and then Ryder walked off.

"Have you told your brother that you got in yet?" Chase asked me

"Oh! I forgot!" I then went to grab my phone from my vest, but it wasn't there. I started to get worried, and Chase saw it

"Marshall, what's wrong?" Chase asked me

"My phone! I lost it somewhere!" I replied, getting even more worried

"Ryder!" Chase called out

We then saw Ryder come out of his room "Yeah Chase?"

"Marshall lost his phone!" Chase said worried

"What's on your phone that is making you worried Marshall?" Ryder asked me

"It's how I have contact with my brother, he doesn't have any other numbers I can use to call him, or any social media accounts." I said, tears starting to appear in my eyes

"Do you know where he works? If you do, then I can contact his boss" Ryder told me

"N-no, I don't, h-he never sa-said to me w-where he works, just th-that he works far a-away" I said, my words already breaking

"I'll get the security team that I hired for the competition to look for it okay Marshall?" Ryder reassured me

"O-okay" I said, hoping they would find my phone

*June 10, 2013 10 PM. 1 month after the competition*

Location: The Lookout

Marshall's POV

I was just outside in the Lookout's yard, looking up at the stars, alone. I wonder how Max is doing? It's been over a month since I last heard from him. This past month I haven't been like myself, all because I didn't know how Max was doing, or where he was.

Ryder's security team did find my phone the next day, but it was destroyed. They apparently found the phone in a pool of water that was at the final challenge. Now it made sense, the thing I heard fall in the water was my phone, but the phone was beyond repair. The water had completely destroyed the phone's system.

I then tried to find Max the next day, but Ryder stopped me before I could go any further. I told him I was going to try and find Max, but he didn't let me leave. He told me he doesn't want me to leave the Lookout just yet, and even if he did allow me to leave, the security team he hired were watching over the Lookout till a month after the competition ended, and wouldn't let Ryder, Chase, and me leave, part of the contract Ryder said.

Chase still tried to lift my spirits while we were stuck inside the Lookout, and it kinda worked. Me and Chase were getting closer with each passing day when we were stuck in the Lookout. Ryder told us he's trying to find at least another pup before he wants to start going on missions.

Despite having Ryder and Chase to keep me company, I still felt alone. Max was the only person who truly understood me, I mean, he is my brother. I know Chase is my best friend, and we've been living together for the past month, but with each passing day, the sadder I got, I just wanted to see Max again. I don't know how he's doing, or how he's holding up. I bet he's worried because we were supposed to meet up after the competition, but Ryder's security didn't allow us to leave.

I went to the fire station I used to live in as soon as Ryder's security team left to see if he was there, but when I got there, the place was just rubble. I guess it's age finally hit, and broke apart. I started to see if I could scavenge anything from the debris, and I may not have owned much, but I still had some belongings from my parents and Max, but now I had nothing left, since the rubble had destroyed everything. Finally, I accepted I wasn't going to find Max because I remembered when he messaged me when I had my phone, he said he was transferring to a different hospital, just didn't tell me where. So I just cried, cried for the fact that I wasn't going to find Max.

Soon, I heard somepup coming up to me

"Come on Marshall, it's time for bed" I hear Chase say to me

"Go Chase, *sniffle* I want to be alone" I said

"What's on your mind Marshall?" Chase asked me

"Nothing you need to know Chase" I said, bitterly

"It's your brother isn't it?" Chase asked. I just stayed quiet "Yeah, it's about your brother huh? Look Marshall, I know what you're feeling right now."

"How?!" I yelled standing up, interrupting Chase "How can you understand how I'm feeling right now Chase?! Max was the only family I had left alive! I don't know how he's doing or where he is! I just want to tell him that I got in Paw Patrol so he doesn't have to worry about me, but now I can't! If I was just careful with my phone, I could've seen Max again! Max was the only pup who truly understood me Chase, but with him gone, I feel so alone! So tell me Chase, how do you know what I'm feeling right now?!"

"Because I never knew my parents Marshall!" Chase yelled back, making me shut up "Look! I do know what you're going through right now Marshall, the difference being you got to make memories with your family! I don't know what happened to my parents Marshall, heck, I never got to meet them!" I just stayed quiet, letting Chase talk

"I know the pain you're going through because I felt that same pain before, but when Ryder adopted me, I never felt so happy, and the thing is, I knew my parents would want me to be happy, not sad and always wondering where they are or what happened to them." Chase said to me. I sat down on the grass, still not speaking, tears coming out of my eyes. Chase then walked up to me and gave me a hug

"I know what you're feeling right now Marshall, but the thing is you're not alone. You have me. You have Ryder. We both care about you, we both love you. Especially me Marshall, I love you like a brother," I was stunned, Chase sees me as a… brother? "We may have been friends for 2 months, but during that time we were together, we got to know so much about each other, and that made me see you as more than my best friend, but as a brother" I was surprised, but I did have a question I needed answered

"Do… Do you really see me as a brother Chase?" I asked

"Yes Marshall, I do. I love you like one, seeing you hurt hurts me too, even more so when I know what you're feeling"

"Do… Do you want to be my brother Chase?" I asked

"Only if you'll let me Marshall," Chase said, still hugging me.

"Yes, I want you to be my brother Chase" I said, hugging him back

"Okay, just promise me this Marshall" I listened. "If you need someone or somepup to talk to, someone's or somepup's shoulder to cry on, anything, don't hesitate to ask me or Ryder okay?"

"Okay Chase, I promise" I say to Chase

"Thank you Marshall," Chase said smiling at me "let's go to bed now okay?"

"Okay"

"Brothers till the end?" Chase asked me, extending his paw out to me

I took his paw and pulled him into an embrace, to which he returned "Brothers till the end"

*Story Ends*

*December 22, 2019 11 PM*

Location: The Lookout

Marshall's POV

"And from that night was how me and Chase became brothers. The days and nights after that were still hard, but I had my brother and owner to help me get through it" I said to everyone as I playfully shove Chase on his shoulder that isn't injured.

"Yeah those next couple of nights were hard on you Marshall, I'm just glad me and Chase were able to make you feel better" I hear Ryder say to me

"Wow, I can't believe you lived in a old fiwe station" Zuma said out loud

"There could be a different pup in your place right now Marshall" Rubble said

"Yeah, there could be, but there isn't" I said

"How come you never told this story before dad?" Ash asked me

"I kinda forgot about it until I saw that photo under my bed" I replied

"You went… all through that… when I was at work?" Max said to me "I'm so sorry Marshall, I'm sorry for just giving up looking for you, I should've kept looking"

"Hey Max, it's okay, I don't blame you for not finding me. We could go into the hole of 'I should haves', I could say 'I should've been more careful with my phone' but that doesn't matter anymore because that's all in the past" I said, hoping it'll reassure Max. "You found me after all this time, that's what matters okay?"

"Alright" Max said, smiling at me

"Well pups, it's 11, how much time is left?" Ryder asked. Skye checked and saw there was another hour left.

"And hour"

"Why not, let's finish this movie and go to bed," Ryder said. After the movie was finished, all the pups made their way over to their rooms before I stopped Chase

"Hey Chase, thanks for being there for me when I needed you brother" I said

"Anytime Marshall, Brothers till the end" Chase said to me smiling

"Brothers till the end"

The End

And that's the final chapter! I hope you enjoyed reading this my fellow readers,

Now about this chapter. I know I said it before in other chapters and my other story and I'll say it again, but I'm still new to being a writer, so emotional scenes like this one may not be emotional enough, or it didn't have enough buildup. I KNOW, I'm still learning, and maybe one day I'll "remaster" the stories so they're longer and more descriptive, that's if the Paw Patrol FanFic community still exists by that time.

I also wanted to remind y'all that I'm a Co-Writer for Sisu the Last Dragon, so I'm helping them out to make their current story in the works better, and I'm also trying to write my own stories as I help Sisu out, so my next story may take longer to upload (I don't have the next story all the way planned out sooo... yeah, gonna be a while).

Not only that, but I'm also going back to school soon, so my schedule for helping Sisu AND writing/publishing my own stories is gonna be a bit more tougher to do, so uploading new stories/chapters will take even longer.

Besides that, my next story will be uploaded… uhh… when I upload it.
