~All along it was a fever

A cold sweat, hot headed believer

I threw my hands in the air

I said show me something

He said, if you dare come a little closer~

They were together from the start, Marshall and Cass. Since they were pups it seemed like fate had decided for them to be best friends and later on, sweethearts.

Marshall was a Dalmatian, a fun loving, clumsy, hot headed one, with icy blue eyes and inky spots. Cass was a German Shepard, and she could very well be described as... cold, if you didn't know her that well. She assumed the task of being second in command to Ryder, and with that came lots of responsibility and leadership. But once you got to know her, she was quite the playful dog! She could make puns till you were tempted to tape her mouth shut, and would always be the first to give you a smile (She and Marshall are currently in a competition to see who smiles the most..). She has amber brown eyes, and darker brown pelt with a tan shade on her underbelly, muzzle, and chest. She was the typical German Shepard look alike!

They had quite a bit of differences, but somehow they made their relationship work. Maybe starting out as best friends had to do with it, as you would have to learn how to balance each other out and stuff. Sometimes, though, there are times when they don't agree, and they fight. What's worse, is when you leave your loved one for a long time with no confirmation of you returning.

~Round and around and around and around we go

Oh now tell me, now tell me, now tell me now you know~

Cass was getting sick with worry. Pretty soon, her ferry would come to take her away from the Paw patrol, her only home, and her boyfriend. It felt like the world was spinning in circles rapidly, and she was too slow to catch up. That was why she asked Ryder if she could go to a conditioning program for police dogs to catch up and refresh her training. Now, she wasn't so sure if her idea was so great.

They all understood why she was going, and let her. Even Marshall didn't put up a fight, just calmly nodded when she told him. To be honest, it felt like they didn't want her anymore! She just wanted everything to feel right again, for Marshall to stop avoiding her and talk once more. Why is he ignoring her anyway? She tried several times to talk to him, but only got silence in return.

~Not really sure how to feel about it

Something in the way you move

Makes me feel like I can't live without you

It takes me all the way I want you to stay~

Marshall stared listlessly at the ground. The wind blew his floppy ears back, reminding him of so many memories, all of him and Cass. She was so fascinated with his ears, how they flopped downward instead of straight up like hers. Cass would try to stand them up, but gravity would bring them down again. That was one of the many cute things about her.

Now, she was leaving them for a while, to work on her training. He wasn't really sure how to feel about this... Inside it felt like a tornado was going on, destroying everything in its path. Marshall felt numb, no emotions anymore. His world spun around hers, and without a planet to orbit, what's he to do?

She brightened up his day, gave him a reason to smile and be happy. Cass, everything was her... She made him proud of who he is, just by being there.

~It's not much of a life you're living

It's not just something you take, it's given~

Cass decided she'll face Marshall one last time before she leaves, to talk to him one more time. If this didn't work out, and they broke up, she highly doubted she would come back. The heartbreak would be too much, and she would just stay at the mainland. She got off her bed, hopped around her tan suitcase, and went in in the search for her love. At least she could try...

~Round and around, and around, and around we go

Oh now tell me now tell me now you know~

At almost the same moment, Marshall decided to find Cass. He would overcome his sudden silence, and face his future. After all, there might be no future with his Cass if he didn't act fast.

~Not really sure how to feel about it

Something in the way you move

Makes me feel like I can't live without you

It takes me all the way I want you to stay~

They saw each other at about the same time, both starting to run the remaining distance between them. The beach was ideally the romantic place, but a grassy field they were at could also work. Cass knocked Marshall over, standing over him forcing the Dally to look up into her amber eyes.

"Tell me what's wrong, Marshall?" She asked gently.

Suddenly, Marshall couldn't speak anymore. He tried to force those words out, but they wouldn't budge. Marshall could only stare helplessly as her face crumpled, and she backed off him, sadness and anger clouding her face. She turned tail and ran, after a few seconds of recovering Marshall followed as well. Oh, why couldn't he have spoken?

~Oh the reason I hold on Oh 'cause I need this hole gone~

She ran, as fast as she could, through pedestrians and bicycles. She was wrong, maybe he moved on, and now loves some body else. Running away from her fears was one of the many flaws she tried to fix about herself, but now she didn't want to care anymore. Marshall was the only thing keeping her sane. Without him being there in her heart….it hurt, a lot. At least she knows how he feels now?

~Funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needed saving 'Cause when you never see the light, it's hard to know which one of us is caving~

He ran after her, not caring about anyone else. Oh , why was he so stupid?! Now she took it the wrong, and he was to blame! She had helped him through his hardest times, and this is how he pays her back?! So slaggingly stupid….

Their first kiss was expected by everyone else. Seriously, everybody jumped at the chance to bring them two together, much less get them dating already. They didn't mind, though, and happily kissed at the beach as their friends cheered on. You could say it was a dream come true for both of them, enough to last forever.

Marshall blamed himself for what this has come to. He was gonna try and make it right again.

I'm not letting you go, not again.

~Not really sure how to feel about it

Something in the way you move

Makes me feel like I can't live without you

It takes me all the way I want you to stay, I want you to stay, oh~

Cass knew he was gonna catch up with her eventually, but at least not this fast. That was why she yelped a bit as she was suddenly knocked over.

"What do you want?" Schooling her face into an unbreakable mask, she looked up into Marshall's blue orbs, and had to look away to stop crying. Why was he still here? Didn't he hurt her enough already?

Soundlessly, he wrapped her in his arms, hugging her tight. His words, barely audible, whispered softly in her cone shaped ear. "I want you to stay, please don't go. I don't know how I would survive without you. I know I might seem selfish, but I want you to stay here, with all of us. Leave if you must, but I wanted you to know that I'm sorry, for everything."

Cass hugged him back in return, tears escaping her eyes. She decided to stay, never mind those at camp, maybe next time. She belonged here, beside her boyfriend and best friends.

"I'm staying" saying those words made it real, as Marshall looked up happily and hugged her tighter. Cass gave him a kiss on his furry head and smiled contentedly as her ferry left Adventure bay without her. There was always another ferry, but not another pup like Marshall.

~I want you to stay~
