Marshall tossed and turned, darkness and dreams filled his mind.

"No please…" Marshall whispered as he continued to weep into his paws.

Marshall's mind raced back through the events in his mind.

Chase was being killed by the wolf, he had to pull the trigger.

"Chase!" Marshall screamed.

Chase screamed as the wolf bit into his shoulder.

Marshall pulled the trigger and the bullet left the chamber with a bang!

The bullet exploded through the wolves skull and entered into Chase's forehead.

"AHHHH!" Marshall screamed, opening his eyes and hitting his head on top of his puphouse.

"Uh...uh….uh….uhh….." Marshal breathed, as the sweat ran down his face.

He looked around and saw that he was in his puphouse, and it was dark outside.

"Marshall? Are you alright?" Chase whispered from his puphouse next door, careful not to wake Everest.

"Chase…..I had a nightmare….." Marshall cried.

"Not you too…." Chase whispered.

Another pups footsteps were heard coming over to Marshall's puphouse.

"Marshall? Chase." Skye whispered.

Marshall was scared at first, but when he heard Skye, he felt somewhat relieved.

She walked up to Marshall who was still sweating, and looked over to Chase who was next door, next to Everest who was still asleep.

"Skye?!" Chase whispered.

"Chase, go back to sleep, I'll take care of Marshall." Skye whispered.

"Alright...try and calm down, you're all right, Marshall." Chase whispered.

Skye turned her attention to Marshall and wagged her tail.

"Come on...come with me to my puphouse, you should sleep with me tonight." Skye smiled in the moonlight.

"Oh….r-really?" Marshall asked.

Skye nodded her head.

Marshall admired her beauty in that moment. She was like a small angel.

Skye wagged her tail, and Marshall took notice. She watched his eyes, and it made her smile.

She liked that Marshall seemed to be interested in her, and that she could hold his interest.

"You think I've got a cute butt?" Skye asked with a giggle.

"Oh….sure…." Marshall replied, with his cheeks growing red.

"Come on….you can admire me more in my puphouse." Skye assured him.

Marshall smiled and the sweat seemed to dissipate.

Skye winked at him, her figure illuminated in the moonlight. She motioned with her head toward her puphouse.

Marshall stood up on all four paws and followed Skye to her pup house around the circle of the lookout.

"Come on in." Skye whispered as she entered her puphouse.

Marshall slowly walked into her puphouse. It was much smaller than his, Skye has the smallest one of the bunch, but it could easily accommodate his size.

Skye turned around in the corner of the house, and laid down.

Marshall repeated the same motion, turning around three times, and laid down next to Skye.

"How are you feeling?" Skye asked.

"I'm feeling very bad. I killed that wolf to save Chase….all that blood...it's getting to me." Marshall whimpered.

Skye put her paw on his.

"You risk your life every time we go out on a mission. That's unfortunate about this job." Skye said.

"Yes…...I know….but it doesn't make it any easier." Marshall replied his expression in a glum state.

"Marshall, look at me….in my eyes." Skye ordered.

Marshall looked at Skye's face, she leaned in and kissed him on the muzzle.

Surprised, his eyes went wide. He broke the kiss.

"S-Skye….?" Marshall asked with some surprise in his voice.

"Shhh….." Skye coed.

Skye leaned back in and their noses pressed against each other, and Skye opened her muzzle and kissed him again.

Still surprised, Marshall felt Skye pushing her tongue into his mouth, and she felt his teeth, tongue.

"Hmmm…" Marshall groaned.

Skye put her paw in the back of his head and beckoned him forward.

Marshall felt Skye's insistence and he gave in.

Shoving his tongue, he greeted Skye's and their tongues danced together in the kiss.

After a few moments, Skye broke the kiss and gasped for air. Marshall took a deep breath.

"Skye? Why did you kiss me." Marshall asked

"I really like you, Marshall." Skye replied.

Marshall blushed.

"Just go to sleep now. I'm here. If you're a good boy, I'll give you a bit more of that." Skye blushed.

"You….like me?" Marshall grinned.

"Yes….do you like me?" Skye asked.

"Of course!" Marshall whispered.

"Good….now if you like me, you'll go to sleep with good dreams tonight." Skye said.

Skye leaned in and gave Marshall another kiss. After another moment, she let go of him.

"There will be more of that if you promise me not to have more nightmares." Skye said.

**The next morning**

Everest groaned and rolled over to see Chase warmly smiling at her. She lightly kissed him and looked at him.

"Morning," He softly said.

"Hey…" Everest returned.

"Did you sleep good?" Chase asked.

"Yes, sleeping with you seems to take those nightmares away." Everest said.

"Well perhaps we should do more of that." Chase replied.

Everest smiled.

"I'll agree with that." She blushed.

Chase yawned, as he got up and stretched his legs.

After he had gotten a drink out of his pup bowl, he turned to everest who was still in his puphouse.

"I better go check on Marshall. He was having nightmares last night." Chase explained.

"Oh, sure thing…." Everest said.

Chase ran off toward Skye's puphouse on the other side of the lookout, leaving Everest alone with her thoughts.

"Why did I have to run off?" She wondered.

It seemed like whenever she ran off bad things started to happen, so this time she decided to remain in Chase's puphouse.

A lot of bad things had happened ever since she had tried to deal with these demons on her own. This time, she just decided to let Chase handle things, without her running off.

She was tired of running away.

Marshall opened his eyes, the morning greeted his senses, making him nauseous.

He breathed in and felt Skye curled up against him.

Suddenly the memories from the previous night came back to him. He had slept fully through the night, thanks to Skye.

Looking down at the sleeping pup, he smiled and carefully got up as to not disturb her from her slumber.

He walked out of Skye's puphouse and stretched.

"Hey Marshall!" Chase called.

Marshalled looked over his left shoulder and saw Chase walking up to him.

"Oh hey...keep it down….Skye is still asleep." Marshall said.

"Oh sure...let's go over here then." Chase whispered as he caught up.

Chase and Marshall walked a short distance away from the Lookout.

"How are you feeling right now?" Chase asked.

"Shaken up, but I'm okay thanks to Skye. How is Everest?" Marshall asked.

"She's a bit shaken up, but I think being with me has calmed her down. But I really came to check up on you." Chase explained.

"Oh….yeah….I was having some nightmares about it. Never really shot another creature to save a life." Marshall replied.

Chase sighed.

"It happens. Most of the time when the hardware is broken out it's when they know there is a clear and present danger." Chase said.

"You've used it in some hostage situations." Marshall replied.

"Ryder trusts us with those guns. I don't like killing other animals or humans but…." Chase looked up at the sky above.

He sighed.

"That's not for this world…..that's for some other world. That's why we decided to take this job Marshall." Chase said.

"Yeah you're right…..but it seems like Everest is still hurting." Marshall said, looking back towards the lookout.

Chase looked back towards his puphouse and Everest was still there.

"Well at least she is staying put." Chase sighed.

"Chase...she needs you...now especially...more than ever," Marshall said.

"Okay... but what about…" Chase was cut off by Marshall.

"Chase I'm fine...I just need some time," Marshall said. Chase looked at him with a worried face.

"You sure?" Chase asked.

"I'll get over it...heck it's reminds me of what we did to survive before Ryder found us," Marshall said, thinking back to the times when him and Chase had to do some nasty things to survive.

Chase nodded.

"I can see your point….did Skye help you?" Chase asked.

"Yeah, she's going to take care of me….I think you need to take care of Everest." Marshall insisted.

"You mean?" Chase asked.

Marshall nodded. Chase took a moment to look at Everest. They had been through a lot, and he didn't want to force himself on her if she wasn't ready.

"Well I don't know if she's ready for that yet." Chase sighed.

"Chase….you know that's what she does need." Marshall replied.

"You really think that's what Everest needs?" Chase asked again.

"It is." Marshall replied.

Chase looked at Everest who was still seemingly was still sad.

"I guess you're right." Chase said.

"If you're worried, I could ask Skye to talk to her." Marshall said.

"Why her?" Chase asked.

"She's a girl." Marshall replied.

***Later***

Everest was still in Chase's puphouse, waiting for Chase to come back. She decided that she wouldn't leave without Chase, since every time she wandered away, bad things just happened.

A familiar voice called out.

"Hello Everest!" Skye greeted.

Everest lifted her head and saw that Skye was walking up toward her.

Everest got up and walked out of Chase's puphouse.

"Oh hi Skye. What are you doing?" Everest asked, as she walked up to her.

"Oh I just wanted to check on you….you haven't left Chase's puphouse all day." Skye pointed out.

"Oh yeah….I'm just waiting for Chase to come back." Everest said glumly.

"Everest, you really like Chase don't you?" Skye asked.

Everest, blinked.

"How did you know?" She replied.

"I heard you both last night." Skye answered.

Everest gasped.

"Oh, well...we were going to let everyone know at some point..." Everest explained.

"Everest...we're the only girls here!" She laughed.

"Oh...you're right." Everest giggled.

"Well, I think it's the girls job to take care of our boys." Skye said.

Chase and Marshall. They did help save your life...and they do like us a lot." Skye grinned.

"Oh yes..." Everest looked down.

"You really do miss your family don't you?" Skye asked.

"Yes...too much...I'm still having these nightmares...and that's why I wandered away...and wanted to harm myself..." Everest admitted.

Skye listened and nodded her head.

"That's why Ryder took us all in." Skye explained.

"What? Ryder?" Everest asked.

"You're not the only one who's had nightmares. I was rescued from the Adventure Bay Pound, Chase and Marshal were strays, Rubble and Rocky's parents were in a dogfighting ring, and Zuma washed up on the beach after the passenger liner got beached in the Bay. Each of us has had some issue. Ryder found us all, while doing his rescue work around the Bay." Skye explained.

"Oh I didn't know." Everest realized.

"Those nightmares can be pretty bad...but I've found ways to get over it." Skye explained.

For instance seeing how cute Marshal looks when he steals glances at my butt." Skye giggled.

Everest laughed with her cheeks glowing red.

"Oh Boys..." Everest smiled.

"I see you've got your smile back." Skye observed.

"Yeah..." Everest replied.

"I think that's what you need to do right now. To make someone happy...like Chase." Skye replied.

"Make him happy?" Everest asked.

"You know, make him feel like he's earned that badge and collar." Skye winked.

Everest grinned. Her cheeks rosy red.

"And what about you?" Everest asked.

Skye happily rolled her eyes.

"This pup has gotta take care of Marshall's fire." Skye wagged her tail.

"So you're going to...?" Everest grinned.

"After a few hours with me...Marshall will be back to his old self, and it's good for us girls too." Skye Grinned.

"R-really?" Everest asked.

"Everest, have you ever been really close with Chase in while you sleep together?" Skye asked.

Everest blushed, not believing she was discussing this with Skye.

"Well...yes...but we haven't done it yet..." Everest stammered.

"Marshall and I haven't done it either...but I think he needs my support now." Skye explained.

"You really think you can help him?" Everest asked.

"I'm sure this pup's butt will be sore for a while, but I think Marshall deserves me and what I have to offer." Skye replied.

"I guess after the wolf attack, he does deserve it..." Everest agreed.

"Now, what about you and Chase?" Skye asked.

"You think I should...make love with him?" Everest said.

Skye nodded.

"I think Chase could use it too. He almost lost his life." Skye pointed out.

Everest sighed. She now understood what she felt

"Chase has been kissing you a lot lately. Maybe it's time you returned the favor." Skye said.

"Oh...I guess you're right." Everest agreed.

"And if you do decide to do it with Chase...tell me how it went...I'll let you know what happened with me and Marshall." Skye giggled.

"Skye what got you so...?" Everest asked.

...Horny?" Skye asked.

Everest nodded.

"I don't like to see the boys unhappy." Skye explained.

"I can understand that, but why help them by doing it with them?" Everest asked.

"Well God, created us to help meet their needs. I also like being admired by the boys, it makes me feel really special. Besides, boys really enjoy it too." Skye said.

Everest nodded.

"I can't say the same about how I feel. But Chase seems to be very interested in me."

Everest explained.

Well how do you feel about Chase?" Skye asked.

"Oh he's really nice. I think he understands me." Everest said.

"I agree, so what do you think is holding you back from doing it with him?" Skye asked.

Everest sat down and thought for a moment.

It had been a long time since she felt loved.

"I guess I've never really wanted to…" Everest explained.

"Even if it would make you feel happy again?" Skye asked.

"Well….I have been unhappy and Chase does want me to feel happy again." Everest realized.

"Everest, let Chase make you happy, and you can return the favor. You both deserve that." Skye suggested.

Everest thought for a moment.

Sleeping with Chase seemed to be helping her, perhaps if they took their relationship to the next step, she would feel better about herself.

"You're right Skye...thanks.." Everest said.

"I'm going to be with Marshall tonight. So if he howls loudly, don't be surprised, he'll be enjoying himself." Skye giggled.

A wide smile appeared on Everest's face.

"Oh I'll keep that in mind." Everest giggled.

"Go and take your time with Chase, and let me know how it went!" Skye said.

"Sure only if you fill me on the juicy details with Marshall." Everest replied.

Each pup laughed.

"Course, you better go find Chase." Skye said.

"Sure thing, I'll see you later." Everest replied.

Everest turned from Skye and started sniffing around for Chase.

Chase and Marshall looked down from the top of the lookout.

"You think she's interested now?" Chase asked.

"Just wait until both of you are alone. Don't force it, she will come to you Chase." Marshall replied.

"I guess I will see what happens tonight." Chase said looking down at Everest.

"Me and Skye will try and keep it down tonight." Marshall grinned.

"You and Skye have fun." Chase smiled.

Marshall nodded and both pups left to meet their girls.
