Chase's POV

It's around mid-day, Ryder and the pups have gone off on a mission, farmer yumi and her sheep again, they woke me up on their way out. I thanked Ryder for letting me sit this, so i could be here in case Marshall woke up. And so i'm here at the lookout with nothing to do.

This is the first mission i've had to sit out on in a long time. Let me just say that, being bored sucks. I've play pup-pup-boogie on single player mode, i've eaten a ton of dog food, and i've cleaned my pup-house, which is a monumental feat, mind you. And poor Marshall still hasn't woken up, i check on him every 5 minutes, but he is just the same as before, asleep. Now i'm just sitting here, watching the love of my life, sleep. Is that weird? I think it's weird.

I remember when we first met, during a forest fire. He saved my life, and now i'll always be by his side. He was my knight in shining armor, he blast thought the blaze of the flame, and got my collar. There's the scar from the burn, it's almost invisible, hidden by the sea of fur. I part his soft fur to reveal a small line stretching across the dalmations back, from the base of his neck to his tail. If he hadn't found me, then… well i'm glad he did.

I can still remember his first mission, he was, to say the least excited. I chuckled, remembering how he tripped on a banana peel, did a double backflip and landed in Ryder's arms, i swear that pup defies all known laws of physics. A banana peel, i thought that was only in video games… was it a banana peel? Wait, maybe it was something else, no it was a banana peel… i think. Dang it, is Marshall clumsy enough to trip on a banana peel? No, it wasn't a banana peel, i remember now it was some water from his water cannons he had deployed for some reason.

"Water"

Yeah, not a banana peel, what was i thinking. I headed off to the kitchen, all this water talk made me thirsty. Wait.. i froze mid step, turning on a point heading back to Marshalls side.

"Marshall?", i whispered.

"Chase" he whispered, "water"

"Sure, i'll get some water, wait here." i dashed off to the kitchen, for real this time. After quite a lot of fumbling around the cabinets, trying to find a clean bowl to fill with water, i stumbled across an old bowl of mine, it was blue and had my badge logo on it's side. It didn't take long to fill it with water and return to Marshall's spot.

"Here you go" i said as i nudged the bowl to his mouth. He took a couple of long drinks, before he talked again, his voice was like honey to my ears.

"Hey", he gave me a weak smile, lifting his head up from the ground.

"Hey, cutie" i replied, his smile grew bigger.

"You were out for quite a long time, gave us quite a scare, gave me quite a scare." i approached him and embraced him in a giant awkward hug, mind you he was still lying on the ground. He laid his head onto my shoulder, his tears going down my back. His cries of pain, muffled by my shoulder. I guess the pain caught up with him.

"Don't worry, i got you." i whispered into his ear. After a while his cries of pain became pained , labored breaths, and his tears dried up.

"I got you", i repeated over and over again, rocking back and forth.

Skye's POV

Ever since the accident, my life hasn't been stable, jumping around from town to town, doing odd jobs, eating when i can. It sucks not having a family, one to care for you, one to love you. Family means a lot, i realize that now, it's almost as i was blind, now i regret certain decisions i've made in the past. But you can't change the past.

Now i can't believe the things i did, only a couple of weeks ago. I'm just in awe. But then i remember Chase, and Marshall that mangy mutt. When i think about them, i see why i did what i did. And, if i could go back in time, i'd do it all over again, but this time i would finish what i started. I'm glad i left those… those 'lovebirds' but i regret leaving my family, the PAW Patrol. Only if i could go back, then maybe life would go back to the way it was before, Marshall.

Only if…

Chase's POV

"I got you" I kissed the top of Marshall's head.

"You good?", i asked as i broke the hug and looked into his deep, ocean blue eyes, almost losing myself.

"Yeah", he whimpered, giving me a weak smile, as he sat up.

"I'm glad you're up", i gave him a smile, causing his smile to grow.

"How are you feeling?", i asked.

"Good as new.", he chuckled, causing himself to go into a frenzy of coughs. I was at his side ready to catch, incase he collapsed, but he stayed standing.

"You think a joke is going to kill me?", he jokingly asked, leaning into me. "Y'know your fur is soft.", i could feel my cheeks getting hot, i'm not too used to compliments.

"A-are you hungry", i stuttered leaning into him.

"Yeah", he answered, trying to get on all fours, but only succeeded in falling onto the floor.

"Don't move, i got it", i chuckled at his fail attempt. He gave me a look, as i left to go get his food bowl from outside.

"You're cute.", i yelled back into the lookout as the door closed behind me. Even from outside i knew that look changed to a blush. Which only reinforced my point. Marshall's food bowl was next to his puphouse, it only took me a minute to grab it and fill it with pup food in the kitchen. But when i returned Marshall had already migrated to the living room and was watching Apollo the super pup. I have no clue how he walked… maybe he crawled.

"H-how'd you get over here?" i asked him, put his bowl down, and nudging it over to him. Once his eyes caught sight of the food, he dove straight into it, i guess almost dying in your sleep makes you hungry.

"So how-FOOD" he cut me off, I chuckled at his response. He's cute when he's eating, especially when he's starving. While he was destroying his food i nabbed some popcorn from the pop-corn machine, Ryder got us after we binge watch an entire season of Apollo the super pup.

When i got back, Marshall's bowl was empty, and Marshall had moved his bright red bean bag and my blue bean bag together in the center of the room, and he was laying on my bean bag. Once he saw me enter the room he sat up and patted his bean bag, inviting me to sit with him. As soon as i jumped up on to the bag he lean on me again, resting his head on my shoulder, as i rested my head on his head. Breathing in his scent, feeling his fur, hearing his shaky breathes.

There you go, chapter 5, got this one done, fairly quickly all things considered; Only a week. Till next time...
