It had been weeks since Alex wwrote to Valerie saying he had a crush on her. She felt AWKWARD. She tried to act normal but it was to wierd receiving gifts and free food from alex.

Everyone in town seemed to know about the crush and it was driving the PAW Patrol INSANE.

Alex visited almost everyday making everything awkward.

But his birthday party came up and instead of skipping they all decided to show up. BIG MISTAKE.

" Happy Birthday Alex! All the pups yelled as they went up and hugged licked and tackled him.

"Hey Pups!... Hey Valerie.'' he said a bit more "flirty".

"H...heeeey Alex." Valerie said a bit hesitantly.

"You look pretty!"

' ."Valerie had worn a white knee high dress with some lace and did a side do in her hair.

"What about US!" said Marshall as he showed Alex the Paw Patrols bow ties and outfits.

"Thats... nice.' Once again Alex was absent mindedly stared at Valerie.

AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF THE PARTY EVERYONE WAS INSIDE OF MR. PORTERS

" EXCUSE ME EXCUSE ME I HAVE AN ANOUNCEMENT! " Alex said as everyone stopped to listen.

He walked over to Valerie who was talking to Ryder at the moment. He got down on one knee and pulled out a box.

"Valerie Luz Hunter you are an amazing brilliant person and..."

Everyone ,except Ryder who was holding back a laugh, was confused and uncomfortable that Alex was proposing.

Valerie stood their a bit surprised, embaresed and annoyed . All her emotions including a bit of anger boiled up at that moment.

"STOP!"

"But won't you do me the honor of..."

"Stop." Valerie said rubbing her hands through her hair a bit out of stress.

"Why?I thought we had a good thing going."

"NO ! We don't ! I wanted to be nice but this is getting out of hand! I don't like you that way Alex... and you keep pushing me to go under all of this pressure I can't date YOU!"

'bUT WHY NOT." Alex said as he stood up.

"I ... I ... I" Valerie was getting nervous and all her anger melted away. Even she didn't want to break this delusional kids heart she had to think fast.

"I...I...I...We... ME AND RYDER ARE DATING !" Valerie said as she said the only escape to the situation.

This made Ryder choke on his cake."(COUGH COUGH COUGH) He patted his chest and then looked at Valerie and Alex and felt everyone 's stares.

"Wha... what?"

Valerie jumped in and held his hand Ryder didn't pull away.

"Yeah Alex were dating and I didn't tell you because you would have been devistated or at least upset at me."

"I.." Ryder tried to say something but Alex jumped on him.

"You took my woman!" Alex said throughing some weak punches as Ryder held him back with one hand.

"Hey kiddo calm down.'

"Oh jeez." groaned Valerie as she picked Alex was pretty light, he kept squirming and moving until Valerie put him down and held down his shoulders.

"Alex you are old enough to know how things work... I think... liking someone cannot be one sided and I don't like you that way , me saving you from that windsurfer was me doing my I'm to old for you."

"Listen..." Ryder said as he walked over and began to speak to Alex."Everyone has a special someone but your way to young to be thinking you've found yours yet."

"So are you two dating. Finally" said Zuma who was speaking for everyone in the room.

Valerie and Ryder looked up so fast they bumped heads.'Oww" "Ow".

They smiled at eachother and stayed like that for a while admiring eachother eyes Ryders Hazelnut and Valeries mix of gray,green and blue.

"Cough" said Marshall getting the atention of the 2.

"Hmm... what... I mean we or she and I..." said Ryder trying to collect his words.

Ryder looked at Valerie who suddenly spoke up.

"Not yet ." valerie said as she ruffled his hair. She then walked out.

"Wait what do you mean "Not Yet". said Ryder. But she was already gone off on her atv.

"Oh everyone we only said we were dating to spear alex his feelings." Ryder said as fast as he could befor he ran out after Valerie.

"I guess thats our que to leave ! " said Marshall stretching and going outside and getting in his vehicle before driving away.

All the pups followed until Chase came back in with a huge box.

"Alex Happy Birthday from the PAW PATROL !" he said before getting in his police rige and driving away.

"She fell asleep again" said Rocky .

"Oh well she looks so cute when shes sleeping" said Rubble

"Your not lieing there." said skye

"Hey how do I look when Im sleeping." said Marshall slightly posing.

All the pups and Ryder laughed

"ACHOO!" Valerie had sneezed.

"Oh is the movie over. I'm sorry I fell asleep again."

"Its okay." Ryder said before getting up and giving her a kiss on the cheek."Good Night Val Good Night Pups." He got off the couch and walked over to the stairs to go up to his bed room.

Valerie touched her cheek and looked over to where Ryder had left.

"I'm glad everything's back to normal... sort of.

"Good Night Pups ." Valerie said before walking outside with them to tuck them in.
