"What do you mean?" Rubble asked.
"I mean I'm not going back." Kat said.
"Why?" Ryder asked.
"Because you are looking at the future king of the Pride Lands." Kat said proudly.
The others stared at Kat.
Rubble was the first to break the silence.
"Congratulations buddy!" Rubble said enthusiastically.
"We are very proud of you." Rocky said.
Kiara nuzzled Kat. He nuzzled back.
Rani and Kion were very happy.
Rani because Kat would stay in Africa.
Kion because Kiara wouldn't be alone.
Ryder knelt down and put the collar back on him. "Keep it. So we can stay in touch." Ryder said.
"Kat. Being king is a lot of work. You know that right." Chase asked.
Kat nodded.
"Well Kat. We are beside you all the way dude." Zuma said.
Everyone kept shouting congratulations at the two.
There were also lots of hugs as it turned out that the pups and Ryder were beginning to head back.
The pups began to walk to the Air Patroller.
The pups were about to get in when Rubble stopped.
"Hey Skye! Let's go." Rubble said.
Ryder and the others looked to see Skye talking to Fuli and Kiara.
Ryder walked up to Skye and tried to pick her up.
She scurried away and sat beside Kat.
"Ryder. I'm staying. I'm not going back." Skye said.
Everyone was shocked at what they just heard.
"Are you sure Skye?" Fuli asked.
Skye nodded.
"Theres predators around here." Kat said.
"I know. I still wanna stay. I dont want to leave Kat." Skye said.
Ryder sighed. "Well. It's up to you. We'll miss you very much." Ryder gave her a hug.
The others rushed up.
"Skye. What's going on?" Marshall asked his friend.
"Pups. Skye has decided to stay." Ryder said.
"What?" Chase said.
"I'm sorry Chase. I know that it hurts you. But I've watched the two for the past three days. I've known that she was going to ask. I knew that Kat would accept being her mate. I've decided to stay days ago." Skye said.
"What about your bestie Everest?" Kat asked.
"To be honest. She's never had time to hang out since her and Marshall became mates." Skye said.
"I didn't mean to hurt you..." Everest began.
"Dont worry. You didnt." Skye interrupted her. "I get it. You were always busy. Also being in the town...I do the same things basically every day. Wake up. Eat. Play. Rescues. The same thing over and over. I need a change."
After a few more good byes. The PAW Patrol headed home.
