Hello, fellow fanfic readers 'n' writers! Now that the mission is done and The Expert is injured, we need something after the mission to chronicle his recovery process. So, welcome to 'Post-Mission'! That's not creative at all, but whatever. And as always, read and review!

DISCLAIMER: I had a discussion about the rights to this show with The Expert a while back, and he told me that I don't own them. I think he's right.

The day after the big mission, The Expert still hadn't awoken from his state of unconsciousness, and as such Rererangi hadn't left his side. [That's one dedicated girl.] She had made it a priority to ensure that he wouldn't be alone during this period of pseudo-loneliness. She had been introduced to the other pups, but the only other pup she allowed near him was Marshall, and that was only because he was the medic. [Like I said, dedicated. To keeping everyone away from The Expert.] Marshall would always assure her that The Expert would be fine, and she never listened to him.

One day, Skye decided to pay a visit to The Expert to check out his condition. As Skye entered, Rere turned her attention to her. She began to growl at Skye, who jumped, but continued to walk in. [Super-protective. ... I could spend all day talking about her protectiveness.] She didn't dare to sit on the other side of The Expert's stretcher, so she sat down next to Rere.

Rere looked at Skye, and said in a low tone, "Why are you here?" [Bluntness. She really is like The Expert.]

Skye was a bit surprised by the question posed, but answered anyway. "I thought that you could use someone to talk to."

"Fine. What do you want to talk about?" she asked.

"I want to talk to you about this situation at paw." [I just said 'talk' three consecutive times. Am I really running out of synonyms?]

"How could you possibly understand this?"

Skye took a big breath and said, "Because I feel the same way about Chase."

Rere was taken by surprise. She hadn't thought that Skye was in the same boat as she was. [The entire PAW Patrol fandom knows and she doesn't. ... That's not as surprising as it seems to be.]

"Do you want me to bring Chase in?" Skye asked, sensing her shock.

"Yeah." She felt calmer now. [Oh, that's a relief.]

So Chase was sent for, and soon enough he appeared on the scene.

"Chase, please help me to explain how we experience what she is now experiencing," Skye requested.

"Sure," he said, complying. He sat next to Skye and the two of them began to relate their stories to Rere.

"... There was also a time when I got lost in the snow, and Chase found me in record time," Skye stated.

"Yeah. I was so worried about her; ask Rocky, he'll tell you just how much so," Chase said with a laugh. [Yes; as weird as it seems, Rocky was aware of Chase's anxiety that day. Watch the episode and see for yourself.]

"And don't forget about the time when you jumped off the top of the bridge, Chase."

"Yeah, that too," Chase remarked without thinking.

Suddenly, silence fell upon the little group. All heads turned to The Expert, whose eyes were still closed.

"What? Did I startle you three?" The Expert smirk-said and opened an eye. [HE'S BACK!]

The trio looked at him disbelievingly for a few seconds. Then they all pounced upon The Expert with shouts of ecstasy.

"Still not fine! Still not fine!" he half-shouted. [His back... #Spider-ManReference!]

The three pups all stopped abruptly.

The Expert looked up at them and would-have-smiled. "Call Marshall," he said.

Rere dashed off faster than was previously thought possible. [How fast was the old max speed? Research being done... 45 mph. So we'll say ... 47 mph. How's that?]

She met Marshall arriving to check on The Expert. [Oh. How convenient.]

"Marshall! You have to come with me now!" she yelled and ran back to the Lookout.

Marshall was a bit surprised by her urgency, but followed her nonetheless.

Upon arriving at the scene, Marshall saw, to his disbelief, The Expert awake and free of ailments. And also off of the stretcher. [That's Actually Pretty Funny.] He wanted to say something, but The Expert cut him off.

"Yeah, I'm feeling better now, Marsh. Kinda got overrun by their happiness, though; that's why I'm on the floor." [He's definitely feeling better.]

"I'd say he's better," whispered Chase to Skye, who giggled. [I just ... you know what? I won't complain about it. The Expert is back and that's what's important now.]

Marshall then realised an opportunity. He asked of Chase and Skye to leave, and they did so, albeit begrudgingly. Marshall then went up to The Expert and said loudly as he carefully removed the gauze, "Would you believe that Rere was here with you the whole time that you were unconscious?" He was smiling smugly. [Not subtle at all, Marshall.]

"Marshall," the white New Zealand heading dog protested. [Too late. So sad.]

"Actually, I do. And I also have an idea as to who ko te kuri pai is." He looked at Marshall and stated, "Maybe you should leave."

Marshall went along and he began to exeunt. The Expert turned his attention to Rere, who was now a light shade of red in her cheeks. [I have a feeling that this will be good.]

She began to speak, but The Expert stopped her by saying what nobody would have dreamed he'd be saying.

"I love you too." [*faints]

She began to faint, but before she lost consciousness, she managed to ask, "What do I call you?"

The Expert said softly, "Call me, Ko Taku Aroha."

And that is a wrap! Please know that Ko Taku Aroha is not his real name; it's just another nickname. Anyway, this will also spur the start of the copying of 'Misadventures' into smaller stories. Don't worry about these stories; they're not done yet. Both series will run alongside each other, in the same universe and timeline.

Bye! Have a nice day! See you in the next chapter! Don't forget to review! Send a PM! Maybe some ideas, alright?
