Wannabe Pup (Zuma and Rocky)

'Nothing to watch... So boring...'

Zuma thought as he browsed through the TV channels. He had about ten minutes before his favourite show came on, and he was just surfing through channels to pass the time. There was only him in the lookout, so he couldn't chat with anybody. Ryder had taken all the pups except for him and Rocky on a mission. He and the mix breed didn't get to do missions much, but he was okay with that, considering the ones he was needed for were important. His boyfriend, also known as Rocky, was there with him too, but he had left to get something "important" from his pup house. Rocky had been curious on what the show was about, and Zuma had promised to show him. He just hoped he wouldn't die of boredom before the show starts, though.

Getting up, he slowly wandered over to the wall where Ryder had put all their photos. The wall was pretty full, with only a few spaces left. Ryder loved them all to pieces, and he put a lot of time into each and every picture taken. The first photo he saw was the moment of all the pups, posing in front of the lookout. Everest was sitting right next to Skye, and beaming a joyful smile at the camera. Skye was sitting in a way so you can only see her side, and her pink tinged eyes shone with happiness. Rubble, on her left, was smiling cheekily while Ryder's hand patted him on the head. Ryder himself was right in the middle of everyone, smiling from his eyes to his mouth. On the other side of Ryder was Chase and Marshall, playfully grinning with a tug toy between them. All they seem to do was play at that time. Now, they have head to head competitions where Chase usually wins. Next to Marshall was his Rocky, showing a timid smile while Zuma himself was bearing the biggest grin he had ever seen. His muzzle hurt for a long time afterwards, but the picture was absolutely perfect. Katie had taken the picture for them, and underneath it she put, "Paw patrol, on a roll!" Kind of cheesy, if you ask him, but it suited the occasion.

He looked at another photo. This one had him and Rocky, both bashfully smiling, with the words, "Paw patrol's little lovebirds" written below it in black sharpie. They were cuddled close together, and their eyes shone with the love they had for each other. This picture bought so many memories, good and bad. Good thing was, his Rocky loves him back, and is forever his to love. Bad thing was, the things that had to happen to make Zuma confess his feelings. He had loved the recycling pup the first moment they met, but had been shy with actually telling him. Then, eight months ago, Rocky had an accident while trying to save Alex's new pet hamster. The hamster, named Jimmy, had scrambled up Alex's now old and rotting tree house and had gotten stuck. After Marshall retrieved Jimmy, Ryder had told Rocky to take down the tree house. Because of all the rain Adventure Bay had been getting, the rotting of the tree fort was quickened, and is now a threat to safety. Obviously, Alex agreed, for the safety to everyone. Rocky had gotten up on Marshall's ladder, and started to slowly remove the wood planks from the left side. He had very cautiously went in, and seeing that it was a little safe, he started to take down the walls again. Just as he was about to bring the piece of wood down to Ryder, the remaining wall groaned from the effort and collapsed on Rocky. Zuma still had nightmares about the pain filled screams that Rocky emitted from the wood falling on him he could hear way back at the lookout. He remembered running over as fast as he could, and seeing Marshall carrying a weak and bloody Rocky down on the ladder.

Turns out, Rocky had some broken ribs form the planks hitting him squarely on his back, and that resulted in a bruised spine. To add to that, the splinters had cut into his gray pelt, puncturing him in little places all around while deeply wedging in the flesh. It had taken the vets and Katie fifteen hours of hard work to be able to get Rocky well again. In those six months of Rocky recovering, Zuma had visited every single day. His heart broke to see Rocky internally suffering, and he had slowly gone into depression. When Rocky finally was able to go home, Zuma had thankfully snapped out of his half depression. He decided to tell Rocky the first night he went home, since he didn't want his love to never know and almost die again. Luckily, Rocky felt the same, and they agreed to go on a date together as soon as Rocky felt normal again. Katie and Ryder had snuck out of their hiding place then, and although they should be annoyed at them for spying, they were happy because they could tell Katie and Ryder both approved their new relationship. That was that picture got on the wall.

"If I lose myself tonight... " Zuma turned back around to face the TV, where his favourite show was playing it's opening song. Now all he needs for a perfect show was...

"Hi Zuma! Did it start without me?" Rocky ran into the lookout, holding a bag of popcorn in his muzzle.

"Dude, Crossing boundaries would not stawt without you! And yay, you bought popcorn!"

"I had to go really deep into my pup house to find that popcorn popper. I added something extra to it, since you like honey so much."

"Aww, thanks Rocky!" Zuma then took a piece and popped it into his mouth. "Mmmm!" He then noticed Rocky had a dark blush staining his muzzle.

"Wocky, why are you blushing?"

"Urmm.. .." Rocky could only blush even more. If he told Zuma the truth, he would be happily jabbed at for days.

"Wait... Does that turn you on?" Zuma smirked at the now fire truck red pup, and waggled his eyebrows suggestively.

"Zuma! And yes, sadly it does."

"Why sadly? I think it's so cute!"

"It's really embarrassing! If you tell anyone, I will kill you!"

"Oh, you wouldn't do that to your favourite pup, would you?"

"I might..." Rocky smiled a little when Zuma immediately shut his mouth. "But I love you way to much. Now, explain to me what it's about?"

"The show is starting soon, and I bet with your geekingly smart brain, you'll figure out the plot in no time."

"Womp womp womp, Zuma complimented and insulted me in one sentence. Congratulations!" Rocky ambled over to where Zuma was already lying down on the pile of blankets, and settled down next to him, the popcorn between them. After the song ended, the show started. The two pup's eyes were glued to the screen, one of barely contained fangirlism, and one of confusion and embarrassment.

"Zuma, what are they doing? And why are their families fighting so much?"

"Oh, so your brain didn't use it's powers then." Zuma said, earning a light punch on the shoulder.

"Oh come on! Answer my questions!"

"Okay then, they are making out, which is kissing madly for a long time. Well, they do love each other, so that makes sense. And their families are always fighting with the other pack because they were lead to believe that the other pack was bad, but no one has done anything wrong. The two pups, named Max and Ranger, meet every night, and try to make their families see that all this that they had been fighting about was pointless, and they could love each other. Really romantic, but really good!"

"Thanks Zuma, for telling me." Zuma watched as realization dawned on Rocky's face. "Wait, they're gay?! Like us?"

"Well, kind of, the two pup actors really are gay and are dating each other. And we're not famous for anything."

"You work for the paw patrol, you're already famous just by being willing to help."

"I guess..." They both turned their attention back on the screen in front of them, and continued watching.

After watching three episodes, Rocky turned to Zuma, who was still engrossed in it. "Hey, this is actually pretty good!"

"Actually? I think it's awesome! The suspense is killing me! We won't know if one of them has to be sacrifice until the next episode!"

"They are really good actors, it's really believable to watch, it's almost like it's real." Rocky supplied to the conversation.

"I know! I bet we can be just as good as them!" Zuma had a evil glint in his eyes as he said that. Rocky's ears suddenly flattened.

"Are you crazy? We'll never be as good as them! And I don't want to act... "

"Come on, there's only us! And it's only two in the afternoon, everyone else will be back at about four. And you might not be that good, but I am!"

"Oh really? I'd like to see you try!"

"Only if you act with me." Zuma smirked at the now annoyed Rocky.

"I'm not going to act with you."

"How about if you act with me, I won't tell Marshall to spray you with his water cannon tomorrow morning as a wake up call?"

"You are plain evil." Rocky glared at Zuma, who grinned playfully back.

"It's just for fun! Come on! Rocky, please!" Zuma had puppy eyes, his yellow green eyes pleading. With a sigh, Rocky gave in.

"Fine... "

"Yea!" Zuma suddenly sprang out and grasped Rocky in a big bear hug.

"Geez, Zuma, are you in a sugar high from eating all that popcorn?"

"Maybe..!"

'He's on a sugar high. What have I got myself into?' Rocky thought to himself.

"Okay, you're Ranger, because you're more serious and mature, and I'm Max, since I'm more fun!"

"Hey! But I'm-mphf!" Zuma had put a brown paw on Rcoky's grey muzzle, making him stop talking.

"No buts, I'm the director!"

"Sigh..."

"Now, let's do one of the small parts, to get our acting on. Hmmm, how about the part when Ranger is waiting for Max, and it turns out, Max is not coming?"

"I'm warning you, I am a terrible actor."

"That's okay! There's only me who will see you!"

"Okay, fine." Rocky cleared his throat, and sat down, bearing a worried face. "Oh Max, have you ditched me for some other pup? Surely this mustn't be!" He started to slowly walk around, "I love you with all my heart, all my life and soul, you cannot leave me!" He ended with a long sigh towards the sky. "Was that good enough?" When he got no answer, he looked at Zuma, who had dropped his jaw. "Zuma? You okay?"

"THAT. WAS. AMAZING! You have a natural talent!" Zuma finally broke out of his stupor and gushed.

"The acting just comes to me, I guess. It's not THAT good." A pink streak of colour lightly stained his muzzle. Even though Zuma would give him tons of compliments each day, he was still not used to it at all.

"I think we can move on to the bigger scenes! How about the one where Ranger rescues Max from the wolves? The part afterwards when they proclaimed their loyalty and love to each other. That's a good part to try. Here, you can wear this for a cape!" Zuma wrapped a dark blue blankets around Rocky's neck.

"Ugh, do I have to?"

"It's better to look the part, than to not to!"

"What did I do to get myself into this!"

"Ahem." Zuma cleared his throat, jumped around, and fell to the floor. Rocky had no idea what was going on, so he just stood there. Popping his head back up, Zuma whispered, "You're supposed to run to me and carry me away from the guards!"

"Oh okay... " Rocky did a big show of tiptoeing over to where Max (or Zuma) was and gently put him on his back. Then he pretended to dodge where the "guards" were, and brought him back to the pile of blankets they were sitting on before any of this happened.

"Max, it's me, Ranger. You're safe now, I'll protect you!"

"Oh Ranger, you saved me! Thank you so much!" Max had opened his eyes and looked gratefully at Ranger.

"Anything for my true love." Ranger gazed just as lovingly back. "Max, I've been meaning to tell you this for a while. I love you, and I have decided to leave from my pack for a while to be with you. If you let me, that is."

"Ranger." He looked up and stared into happy green eyes. "I have never heard such words from you. I never thought you would do something like leaving your pack for me! I love you too, and of course I'll be with you! I am loyal to you, and you only."

"You're the only dog I'm loyal to too."

The two met their lips gently, enjoying each moment. Zuma (or Max) licked across Rocky's (Ranger's) lips, asking for an entry. Rocky happily obeyed, opening his lips a little wider to give Zuma's tongue access. Rocky gently bit along Zuma's bottom lip, making him moan in pleasure. The two broke apart to take a deep breath, then resumed their kissing. Zuma now had his front paws wrapped around Rocky's neck, and was licking his muzzle passionately. Rocky was slowly and gently biting a trail from his muzzle to his neck, making Zuma moan again. Zuma began to lick Rocky on the head, gently nipping at his ears. The two joined their lips back together, kissing feverishly. The two broke apart at the sounds of applause, whistles, and cheering. With red faces, they turned around to see Ryder and the rest of the pups cheering for them.

"Umm... How much of this did you see?"

"Enough for us to whistle at you!" Marshall said happily. "That was the most romantic thing I've seen you guys do in public!"

"That was so cute! Who knew you guys could kiss like that?" Skye added.

Chase said nothing, just smirking at them.

"You guys really do love each other, it's so amazing how distracted you can get from just kissing!" Rubble said.

"…..." Both Zuma and Rocky were lost for words.

"Glad to know you guys love each other that much." Ryder chuckled, "But why are you calling each other Ranger and Max?"

Zuma and Rocky both looked at each other. "That's a long story... "
