A/N : To Marshallb, you are totally right. So thank you to everyone who reviewed the last chapter. The flashbacks are done. By the way, the pups are a little older than in the series in this story. Chase and Zuma will find out about Eriel and the plan spoken of will be explained, but in due time. Also the main pairings in the story are ChasexEverest and ZumaxSkye.
Zuma, finally decided to get up and head home still tired from what had happened. His fur was all messed up and he had red marks all over his neck. He never noticed it and just walked home. Yawns. (Man, I need to make things right with Chase) he thought as now he had Eriel and didn't want him and his best buddy to keep fighting and possibly break up as friends over a girl. "I'd never let that happed." Zuma said to himself walking up the bridge.
Chase was beat. He groggily got up and decided it was already late and so started walking back to the lookout. He wasn't very far and had messy fur with a few red marks on his neck and body. (I should make up with Zuma) Chase thought of his little buddy and smiled. "Eriel's mine anyway. So hopefully he'll accept it and we"ll be ok." (We'd never break up over a girl), as Chase thought this he stopped. The mere thought of losing Zuma as a friend made him tear up. "No, that will never happen!" Chase shouted to himself. (He was my first real friend and always will be) Chase thought as he walked off toward the lookout.
As Zuma walked up the lookout driveway he saw a figure coming out of the woods. He knew of only one pup that would walk through the woods at this time. "Chase!" He shouted as he ran up to him. Chase looked over seeing Zuma. "Hey, what's up?" He said looking at Zuma. It had become dark out but the two could still see fine due to the bright lights of the lookout. They examined each-other seeing that their furs were really messy and they both saw red marks on each-other's necks! "Uhm, what were you doing?" Zuma asked with a smile across his face. "I was going to ask you the sam..." He was cut off by two voices they heard coming over. "Come on Rocky, tell me what you were doing." Marshall whined as he and Rocky walked up the hill.
"Marshall, I said No and why do you two look like that?" He asked pausing and looking at them. "Uhm, we decided to wrestle a little." Chase said to Rocky, lying, "Just to relax." Zuma added. "Rockyyyyyyyy!" Marshall whined. "No, bad Marshall!" He shouted. Marshall pouted and said, "Fine, then I'm not sharing my pop-corn with you." "What pop-corn?" Rocky asked a bit confused. "The pop-corn were having for Movie-nig...", Marshall paused "Oh no, MOVIE NIGHT!" They all shouted as they ran toward the lookout doors.
"I hope Ryder doesn't..." Zuma said as they stopped. A spikey haired boy stood in-front of the doors with his arms folded and fire in his eyes as he looked at the four pups. They all stopped. "Hey Ryder sir, we were just-", "Pups!" Ryder shouted cutting Chase off. "Where have you been all day, the movie started an hour ago. I've been worried sick. You pups knew tonight was Movie-night and you four didn't even call or act responsibly enough to make it on time.", the four put their heads down. "Sorry Ryder." They all said very upset. "Its all Rocky's fault anyway, going somewhere unknown, doing who knows what." Marshall said as he looked at Rocky, "What, No its not and the answer still No Marshall!" Rocky shouted growling at Marshall. Marshall growled back. "Okay, you two that's enough. It seems you two have some issues. Go inside so long, your pop-corns waiting. I want to have a private chat with Chase and Zuma." Ryder said as the two stopped growling and did what they were told. The other two gulped after hearing this.
"So you two." He said turning to them, "What happened to you two? Your furs all messed up, you're late for Movie night. Why did this happen pups?" The two before answering were first relieved that he never noticed the red marks on their necks,"Uhm, well..." They both said as they were cut off "Chase, Zuma!" They heard Two female pups shout. (Yes Everest) Chase tought, (Yes Skye) Zuma thought. "You two are really late for movie-night." They said as all four laughed. "So why aren't you two inside yet?" Everest asked. "That's because I wanted to have a little talk with them and we are still busy." Ryder said wanting to continue the talk. "Come-on Ryder." Skye said. "Just punish them already. Oh I know, Zuma can do the dishes and Chase will clean up all the toys that were left out outside. There's a lot." Skye said. "What?" Chase and Zuma shouted.
"Yeah." Everest said in agreement. "Come-on Zumy, I'll help you with the dishes." Skye said grabbing his paw. "Okay." He said as the two walked off. "Yeah, come-on Chasey, I'll help you to." Everest said walking off but before Chase followed he looked at Ryder, "Sorry about everything Ryder si-" he was cut off, "Come-on." Everest said biting his ear and pulling him. "Okay." He said chuckling as she let go and he followed her.
Ryder walked back into the lookout. Skye led Zuma down the hallway and into the kitchen. "Listen Skye, thanks back there. I can always count on you to be there for me." He said blushing a little. "No problem Zumy. You've been there for me so many times." She paused looking at him, "Okay so let's get started." She said wagging her tail, (He's so cute and sweet) Skye thought to herself while looking at Zuma. "Uhm, Skye." Zuma said, "Yeah. What's wrong?", "I'm gonna need my paw to wash the dishes." Skye then noticed, she was still holding Zuma's paw! She let go and blushed a little, "Sorry." She said smiling a little embarrased.
"Its okay." He said as they walked over to the zinc. They set up two chairs as they weren't tall enough to reach it. The two then grabbed the equipment and started washing.
Zuma got an idea and smiled at the mere thought. He bumped Skye and then continued washing the dishes pretending like nothing happened. "Hey!" She shouted bumping him back, "Sorry, I fell." He said, lying which she could tell. He then took one of his paws and slammed it hard into the water splashing it all over Skye. The soap and water ran down her fur, "Oh, now you're gonna get it." She said smiling as she splashed him back. The two started having a water fight, well a soapy water fight. The water splashed all over the two of them and all over the floor as well while the two laughed.
They stopped and Zuma looked down, "Uh-oh, we messed the floor." He said, "So more work for us." Skye said, "I don't care, as long as I'm doing it with you, Its perfectly fine." He said smiling with the foam over half his face. "Aww, that's sweet Zumy." She said talking a cloth and wiping the foam off his face. "Hey that's it, we can take the cloths and ride over the wet floor cleaning and drying it up. Like surfing!", Zuma said smiling at Skye, who did a backflip on the chair in agreement. "Okay!" She said. So the two got off the chairs and set the cloths down. They took a few steps back and Zuma decided to go first, "Watch and learn," he said running and jumping onto the cloth, riding it perfectly across the floor. "Cool but not as cool as this." She said as she ran and slid across the floor. Half way there, Skye lost her grip, "Woah!" She shouted as she flew into the air. She was expecting a hard landing on the floor and closed her eyes.
After a few seconds, Skye felt as if she didn't land yet. She opened her eyes to meet two emerald green eyes. (They are gorgeous) Skye thought realising she was in Zuma's arms. He caught her and she was now ontop of him. "Thanks Zuma." She said still with her eyes locked on his. "No problem Skye, I'll always catch you when you fall." He said making her smile. After Zuma saw Skye smile, he felt as if his whole world was complete knowing she was happy and he was the one that made her happy. His whole body heated up and his tummy felt all weird. The two inched closer and closer, eyes still connected, hearts beating faster every second and just as their lips were about to touch, "Ahem!" A voice was heard as the two turned their heads to see a smiling bulldog.
"Rubble!" They both said, "Uhm, we weren't.", Zuma and Skye looked back at each-other, "No, no, just pretend I'm not here." He said covering his eyes with his paw and turning around as if he didn't see anything. Skye jumped off Zuma and he got up. "You two can carry on now," he said, "Rubble, we weren't doing anything." Zuma said in a serious tone, "Okay Zuma, I believe you." Rubble said sarcastically as he turned around. "Listen, Ryder said he wants us all in bed now. The movie's over and he said you two could leave the rest of the dishes you didn't wash." Rubble said. "Ah, but I was having so much fun with you Skye." Zuma said a bit upset. "Yeah, I saw." Rubble said, "You two love-birds can carry on tomorrow.", "Hey!" They both shouted, "I'm just kidding." He said as he walked away.
"Hold on Rubble." Zuma said, "Why, what's up Zuma?". "What's that red mark on your neck?" Zuma asked as he and Skye looked at Rubble, "Uhm, nothing." He said trying to hide it with his paw smiling and blushing a little. "Rubble!" Skye said angrily, "Its nothing. I swear." he said as he walked away, quickly. Zuma and Skye looked at each-other. "So I guess we should head off to bed." He said, "Yeah." She said still lost in his eyes. "Come on, I'll walk you to your pup house." He said grabbing her paw snapping her back into reality. Her whole body heated up and her legs felt like jelly but she walked with him. He lead her out the kitchen, down the hallway, out the lookout and to her pup house. "Here we are." Zuma said. "Thanks Zumy, and it was a lot of fun washing the dishes with you, I hope we can do it again.", "Yeah me too," he said as he hugged her. The two then looked at each-other. Zuma leaned in and kissed her on her nose. "See ya in the morning Skye." He said after but before he could break the hug, she leaned in and put her lips on his. The kiss was short lasting mere seconds. She broke the kiss, saying "Goodnight Zuma." with a red face as she entered her pup-house closing the door behind her as Zuma stood there, just stunned after what had happened.
While all of this was happening the other two were also having a bit of fun. "So, where should we start, Chasey?", Everest asked wagging her tail as the walked over toward the toys. Chase loved it when she called him that. "How about the balls over there and also thanks for getting me out of that little talk over there." He said smiling. "Aww, no problem." She said as they walked over to the balls. The two started packing them away when Chase thought of something. A smile grew on his face as he took one of the balls and flung it at Everest hitting her on the back of her head. She turned around to see him still cleaning up, trying to hold his laugh in. She then pounced at him tackling him to the ground.
"Did you just throw a ball at me?" She asked ontop of him. "Maybe." He said not being able to hold it in as he laughed. "Very funny." She said as she too got an idea. She bit down hard on his ear. "Hey! That tickles!" He shouted. She then got off him and started running, "Hey! Get back here, I'm not done with you!" He shouted as he chased after her. The two started chasing after one-another playing tag and wrestling. They completely forgot about the punishment of cleaning up. They wrestled and laughed together. Chase thought again to himself, (I can always be myself around her) he thought as he was tackled to the ground again by Everest. His whole body heated up and his heart raced out of his chest. The two them heard voices coming from the lookout. They saw Zuma and Skye outside Skye's pup-house.
They couldn't hear what they were saying very well. They then saw Zuma kiss Skye's nose and then noticed Skye kissed Zuma, on the lips and then quickly went into her pup-house while Zuma stood there motionless. "Did they just..." Chase didn't finish, he felt a paw on his and when he turned, he felt two lips on his own. The hot feelings in his body just became more intense as Everest kissed him. The kiss was short as well, neither of them wanting it to end but Everest moved back breaking it. "Well goodnight Chasey, I'll see you in the morning." She said as she quickly walked off. Chase just stood there dumbfounded of what had happened.
Zuma saw this kiss from the distance while he walked to his pup-house and was shocked by what he saw. Chase then decided to walk back to his pup-house and sleep everything off. So did Zuma after seeing what had happened. As they both laid down, the two were a bit confused and had strange feelings all of a sudden. Skye was the only thing on Zuma's mind and Everest, the only thing on Chase's. Not once did Eriel cross their minds, not once.
Marshall was still groggy from what had happened. "Why won't Rocky tell me?" Marshall asked himself. (We've always been best buds and have told each-other everything, so why would he keep this from me. I would never be ashamed of him, I love him, like a brother. He's my little brother and no-one else's), Marshall thought as he walked to his pup-house. "I'll find out what he's hiding, tomorrow." He said as he walked into his pup-house, laid down and fell asleep.
A/N : What's happening to Chase and Zuma, why do they suddenly have all these feelings. What is Rocky hiding from Marshall. Will Marshall find out what Rocky's up to. And what will happen tomorrow with Eriel as she has her first dates with Chase and Zuma. So many questions. Please PM if you have any questions and please leave reviews.
