Rocky thought it was going to be a good day, but the moment he woke up and set foot in the lookout, he was getting yelled at. "You don't run off like that Rocky! I told you to go to your puphouse!" Ryder yelled. Rocky sighed, and walked away from his empty dog bowl. He walked out of the lookout, his head drooped. He walked to the beach, again. He noticed Everest following him. He turned around and smiled at Everest. Everest caught up to Rocky and barked, "You okay?" Rocky nodded and they walked to the beach together. While they were there for a good 10 minutes, Everest sighed. "This is relaxing. I should've done this before." The laughed. Then they heard voices. "Hey, Rocky isn't it?" Rocky turned around, seeing Aqua and the other pup." Rocky stood up, "Yeah, it's Rocky and this is Everest." He said, pointing his tail to Everest. Aqua barked, "Sweet, This is my husband, Frost." Rocky nodded, "Nice to meet you Frost." Frost barked, "Nice to meet you too." Aqua barked, "Soooo watcha two lovebirds doing?" "Oh um we're not-" Rocky was cut off by Everest. "We're just watching the water." Rocky's face grew red. He had never thought of Everest as a girlfriend. Aqua and Frost left, and Everest and Rocky looked at each other. "I love you, Rocky. It may have just been two days, but I felt a connection as soon as you helped me coop with this Marshall thing. I hope you feel the same." Rocky was surprised. He didn't know how he feels about her. "Oh, ummm, I don't know." Everest's ears drooped. Rocky spoke up, "You know, maybe I do. Letting you know how I feel has helped me a lot. So yes, I love you too." Everest bounded up. "Oh yay!" She barked. Rocky and Everest laughed and watched the sunset. "Wow, Everest. I had an amazing day." Everest giggled, "Me too" they walked to the lookout together, and they separated to their puphouses. The next morning, Rocky got up and opened his door. He saw Ryder walk towards him. Rocky sighed, closing his door. Ryder knocked on his door, "Hey can we talk?" Rocky opened the door, "Fine." Ryder and Rocky walked into the lookout. No one was awake, but it was Christmas Eve today. Ryder and Rocky sat down on the bean bags. Ryder spoke first, "I want to apologize for my yelling. I've had a rough break. My great grandmother has died and I let my grief take me. I turned that grief into anger, and I'm sorry Rocky. I've never gone through something like that." Rocky felt bad now. Making Ryder angry at him. "I'm so sorry Ryder, I-I didn't know... my actions did have consequences and they made you worse." "It's okay Rocky, as long as we forgive each other." Rocky smiled, "I forgive you." Ryder smiled. Rubble ran into the lookout, "Breakfast!" He barked. Rocky and Ryder laughed. "Guess it's time for breakfast." Ryder said.
I know, kind of short chapter, but I think it would've been cute to add Ryder apologizing. That's enough of this story for me to write today! See you guys in the next chapter! Hope you have a good Valentine's Day!
