"I win! I win!" Skye shouted, pumping her paw into the air. "Now pay up."

Rubble slid his treats over to her, a look of disappointment on his face.

"I bet Kat could beat your flimsy high score." Chase teased.

"Actually, he won't be joining you right now. Hes going to spend some time with Everest." Ryder said, walking into the room. "Just him and her."

"He's been spending a lot of time with her lately." Rocky said.

"Awww. Come on guys. I think its sweet. I like the idea of my two bestest friends having fun." Skye said. She did a flip.

"He might be back late." Ryder said.


Kat was making great time. He loved spending time with Everest. Especially on the mountain.

The two hit it off when they found out they liked alot of the same things, after Skye introduced them.

He was a little upset about her dating Marshall, but he didn't really mind. They are so cute together. he thought.

After about 30 minutes, he arrived at the mountain. He immediately went to search for Everest.

"Hmmmm. That's odd. She said she'd be at the slope waiting for me." he said to himself. "Maybe I misheard."

He went over to the cabin and knocked on the door. No answer.

He was about to search the surrounding area when he turned around and bumped into her.

"There you are. I thought you said that you'd be by the slope." Kat told her.

"Anyway. You ready to snowboard?" he asked eagerly.

"Go away you furless freak. Who'd want to snowboard with you?" Everest said, before she shoved him aside and walked off.

Kat stared after her before heading to his vehicle and driving away. What has gotten into her? Kat thought as he drove back to the lookout. She's never acted this way.

Kat parked in his usual spot and took off his gear. He then drank water from his bowl before heading inside.

"Back so soon." Zuma asked.

"Oh. Here he is. Kat! Everest is wondering what is taking you so long?" Ryder called.

Kat walked in.

"I dont know what is going on with you. But calling me a furless freak was very uncalled for. Call me when you want to apologize for your rude behavior." Kat said before pushing the end call button.

He walked out of the room. "Call me a furless freak?" Kat muttered.

The pups were shocked at what they just witnessed.

"This isn't right. I couldn't believe Everest said that." Skye said. "She's normally so nice."

"She's probably going through something. Everybody does." Chase said.

"Yeah. But...why snap at him?" Rubble said.

"Maybe the two should talk face to face." Rocky said.

Unknown to them, that's just what Everest was thinking.
