A/N : On with the story. This chapter will have Eriel's date with both Chase and Zuma.
The sun rose up greeting the Earth. The flowers seemed to bloom again, renewed as the sun rose and a new day was born. A few people could be seen in the city, walking to work or getting things done early in the morning. The Paw patrol were still asleep due to their late previous night. A certain german shepherd woke up smiling at the thought of what had happened the previous night. He stretched his back and hind legs and opened the door to greet the new day. He looked around and noticed every-one else was still asleep, (as usual), he thought.
He walked around checking on every pup. Rubble was having a wonderful dream by the looks of it and he kept saying a name over and over in his dream. Chase smiled as he walked on. Marshall with his teddy bear, (usual) Chase thought. Rocky was seen sleeping as normal and so was Skye. Chase then made his way over to Zuma's pup-house. Zuma was seen smiling in his sleep. (Probably because of what happened last-night) Chase thought. He then got an idea in his head. He had his uniform and pup-pack on and so activated his mega-phone. (This is for the noodle incident) he thought as he shouted, "WAKE UP!"
Zuma was in a deep sleep dreaming about; well he didn't actually know. In the dream, he was following a pup, female by the looks of it. He couldn't tell who it exactly was. She led him down a pathway of roses and then stopped at the end. He walked up toward her and could see more and more as he got closer. He looked at this pup and started to recognize her, "Sky-" he was cut off as his eyes shot open and he flew up into the air banging his head on the roof of his pup-house.
"Ow," he said as he slowly opened his eyes to see Chase outside his pup-house dying of laughter, "Ha ha ha, you should see the look on your face!" Chase said as he laughed uncontrollably. There was a sharp pain that shot through Zuma's head but it instantly went away as he got up, "Why, you little!" He shouted as he pounced tackling Chase. The two rolled for a few feet before stopping with Zuma ontop of Chase. Zuma growled at him while he was ontop and Chase just continued laughing saying, "You're so cute when you're mad." He said. Zuma stopped growling and laughed a bit to as he got off Chase putting his paw on his head as the pain returned.
Chase got up saying, "That's for the noodle incident." He said. Zuma smiled at Chase. "Okay, you got me," he said accepting defeat. "Listen, Chase about yesterday and the whole thing with-" Zuma said but was cut off, "I'm sorry." Chase said. "We should never let anything come between us, especially a girl." Chase said, "Right, cuz were always gonna be best buddies right.", Zuma said but Chase just looked at him and said, "No, not buddies but brothers, untill the end." He said putting his paw in the air. Zuma put his paw there as well touching Chase's paw, "Brothers." Zuma said.
The two had made up smiling at each-other. They then heard yawning and saw Marshall walk over to them. "Morning pups." He said stretching as Zuma did the same. "Morning Marshall." Chase said. "What woke you, you usually sleep later than this.", "I heard someone shout wake up." He replied. Zuma looked at Chase, "It was Chase." Zuma said, "I figured." Marshall said as the three laughed. "So has Rocky woken up yet?" Marshall asked. Just then Rocky actually walked up the three of them, "Yes, I have and No is still the answer." He said looking at Marshall, "Morning to you to Rocky." Marshall said sarcastically. Just then, their collars lit up, "Pups, to the lookout, for breakfast." Ryder said, "Yay, breakfast!" All the pups shouted as they ran toward the lookout.
They all got there quickly lining up with their pup bowls. Marshall has become less clumsy over time, so he didn't trip or fall as occasionally as before. Ryder placed the pup-food in their bowls as they all munched down. Chase and Zuma never ate as much as the others as they knew they had to save their appetites for their big date with Eriel. The two started getting things ready, in secret from each-other and the other pups. Zuma was having is date with Eriel a bit earlier than Chase. He and Chase obviously had no idea, they were dating the same pup.
Zuma put everything he would need for the date in a picnic basket. (A picnic on the beach) he thought, (Perfect). All the pups were busy with other things giving him a perfect chance to get ready unnoticed. Rocky went off to do who knows what while Marshall followed determined to find out what he was up to. Rubble and Everest were playing tug-of-war and Chase had gone for a walk through the city. Skye was in her pup-house. So he was readying himself in one of the rooms of the lookout. It was and empty room with a large mirror that barely anyone entered or used. He had an orange tux on with a bow tie. His fur was brushed with not a single hair out of place and his breath, fresh as a cool summer breeze. He made sure, he wasn't missing anything. Soon the door opened and a well-known cockapoo walked in.
"Woah, where are you off to, handsome?", she said looking at how well he was dressed. He was shocked by her entering but smiled saying, "Uhm, nowhere, just gonna go for a walk," lying to her as she looked at him. "Dressed like that?" She asked, "Yes, I wanted to try something new. How do I look?" He asked, "Very handsome Zumy.", "Thanks, so you like my decision." (No, because now every girl is going to look at you and I want you to myself) she thought but said, "Yeah and about last-night, I -" she was cut off, "Its okay. Last-night was bit crazy and somethings were done, but it meant nothing, right." He said looking at her. (No it meant everything) she thought but just said, "Yeah, it didn't mean anything." She said putting her head down.
"Ok, so then, see ya later, Skye." He walked over and out of nowhere kissed her cheek. They blushed madly after, "Uhm, sorr... I didn't mean to... I better go." He said as he quickly walked out the room grabbing the picnic basket and running off out the lookout toward the beach. (He's hiding something) she thought as she put her paw on her face, where he kissed her. Her whole face was red as a tomatoe as she looked in the mirror covering her cheeks to cover her blushes. (I'm going to find out what he's hiding. I'm sure he won't be mad at me. He's too sweet) she thought as she walked out and started walking in his direction.
Zuma started walking after a while as he ran all the way down the bridge. He walked to the beach and set everything up. He the looked inside the picnic basket. A black box stood there alone. He grabbed it and held it tightly in his paws. "Hey Zumy." A voice said as he tured around. "Eriel." He said as she was dressed up in a beautiful orange dress (for pups that is), "Wow! You look amazing." He said looking at her. "You look very handsome as well." She said moving in and kissing him. The two held it for a few seconds. She then looked down, "A picnic on the beach!" She said excitedly, "Yep, so shall we?", "Definitely," she replied as she sat down. The two ate, spoke and laughed together. Soon she and Zuma decided to go for a swim leaving their clothes on the beach. It was perfect and the two had tons of fun, splashing water, swimming together, holding their paws and finally kissing. As the two jumped out of the water Zuma took the black box he had left on the beach. He walked up to her as she dried off. "Eriel." He said as she looked at him, "Yeah,", "I want to give you something." He said opening the box.
Inside the box was a chain, small, just the size to fit her paw. It was a golden chain and he had her name engraved. She look at it, stunned by its beauty. He put it around her paw and looked into her eyes, "Now, you're mine and only mine." She smiled as she pushed him down and layed her lips upon his. The two kissed ending their perfect first date. They never noticed, but a certain cockapoo was watching from a distance the whole time. Skye felt as if her heart had shattered seeing these two with each-other, laughing, swimming together and kissing. Seeing him give her that bracelet made a tear roll down her eye and her pushing him over while kissing him made her bottle up with rage and anger. Also the fact that she called him, "Zumy." Made everything worse. (That was our thing), Skye thought as she and Zuma always went swimming together and she always called him "Zumy." She ran off with tears in her eyes toward the lookout.
"So I'll see you tomorrow, Zuma." Eriel said licking his cheek. "Okay. Bye my little angel." He said hugging her. "Aww, thanks for the wonderful date, it was perfect. I love y-" she was cut off as he kissed her and winked after. She then smiled and walked off. (Off to my next date) she thought.
Eriel quickly went somewhere private and changed her clothes. She also put a different perfume on to hide Zuma's scent that was all over her. She then walked off and saw her special German shepherd waiting where he said he would be.
Chase after taking a walk through the city, held a little box in his paws. He had already set everything up for his date and wanted everything to go perfectly. He was dressed in a blue tux also with a bow tie. He put on special spray and mad sure his breath was fine. He then heard a sweet voice call out to him. "Hi, Chasey." He looked and saw his pup, "Eriel. How are you? You look great." He said as she walked up wearing a blue dress this time. "Aww, thanks and you look very hansome as well." She said making him blush. "So shall we my little golden jewel." He said extending his paw, "Sure." She said grabbing it as the two walked off. He lead her through the woods away from the city, to the cliffs that over-looked the ocean. There layed two pillows, a mat inbetween with food on it was set up. She was amazed, "This, is beautiful." She said, "Not as much as you." He said as the two leaned in and kissed. They then ate, laughed and talked for a while. The two then started walking through the forest. "Hey, I've been meaning to ask, where did you get that bracelet from?" He asked looking at her paw. "Oh, from my owner, for my birthday." She said, lying to him.
"Oh, ok, its looks great on you." He said making her blush, "Thanks." She said. "So you wanna see something beautiful?", he asked smiling at her. "Sure, I'd love to." She replied as he lead her to a small pond that stood in the woods. It was beautiful, shaded by trees and had plants all around it. "Wow," she said stunned. "That's not it." He said, "Then, what is it?" He smiled leading her to the pond, "Look," he said, so she did. She looked into the pond but saw only herself, "I only see myself." She said looking back at him, "Exactly." He said. "Aww, that's really sweet Chasey." He then pulled out a little black box with a bracelet in it. It had the word "Perfect" engraved on it.
He then put it on her paw, just beneath the other bracelet that said, "Eriel" on it. She looked at it, admiring it as they sat at the edge of the pond. She then looked at him, "I love it!" She said tackling him into the pond. The two's clothes as well as themselves were soaked but they laughed and held paws. "Chase, I love you," she said to him as she kissed him. "So, now you're mine and always will be." He said after they broke the kiss. She smiled at him and licked his muzzle. They got out of the pond and dried off. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow Chasey." She said as she licked his cheek and walked off. He stared at her as she walked off. (Man, I sure am lucky) he thought.
A pair of unnoticed blue eyes that were watching them started watering as Eriel walked off. Everest stood there as she watched the two kiss and enjoy each-others company. (He already has someone) she thought as a tear rolled down her eye. "So last night must have meant nothing to him." She said to herself. She then walked of crying toward the lookout. She soon started running toward the lookout with tears coming down her eyes. (Why can't you be mine) she thought to herself.
Chase and Zuma decided to both head back to the lookout after their dates. The two looked fine this time as neither of them had too much fun with Eriel. They both walked and thought of her only. (She's mine) they both thought.
Eriel made her way home. She this time walked into the living room where her owner patted her on the head, "So how were the dates?" Her owner asked. "Just perfect. Just as we planned." She said looking at the two bracelets around her paw. Little did she know that this was the last time she would toy with Chase and Zuma and have both of them both to herself.
Meanwhile all of this was happening, Marshall had followed Rocky around all day to try and figure out what he was hiding but he did nothing out of the ordinary. He just walked around the city offering to help those who needed it and just lazed around after getting a meal at Mr. Porter's. Marshall was baffled as to why he would have any secrets, but suddenly he heard a voice call, "Okay Marshall, you can come out now, I know you're there." Rocky said, (Oh no, busted) he thought as he stepped out. "I knew you were following me the whole time.", Rocky said smirking. Marshall then realised that, that was the reason he did nothing out of the ordinary the whole day. "Come on Rocky, please tell me." He said, "Marshall, I'm sorry but No." Rocky said.
Marshall then got an idea, he laid down on his stomach and looked up at Rocky with his puppy eye look, that he knew Rocky could never ever resist. "What are you... No, please not the look... You know I can't..." Rocky said but was too late as Marshall had already completed the look. "No, no, it won't work this time." He said covering his eyes with his paw. He then turned around quickly, moved his paw and walked off to the lookout. Marshall seeing his plan failed for the first time ever got up and followed.
The two made it there and saw Skye sitting on the grass next to Rubble seeming very upset. They then saw Everest walking in the distance toward them also looking quite upset. They walked over and asked at the same time, "What happened?", "Its a long story." Rubble said comforting Skye. "Rocky, please tell me, I swear, I won't tell anyone else.", Marshall whined, "Marshall, quit nagging me, I'll tell you when the time is right." Rocky said. "But plea-" Marshall was cut off, "Oh, I can't take it anymore! Rocky has a girlfriend, Ok! Now quit nagging him, its getting annoying." Rubble shouted at Marshall. Marshall's jaw dropped to the ground as he asked, "What?"
A/N : Uh-oh, Marshall finally found out Rocky's big secret but how will he react and why didn't Rocky want to tell his best buddy, he had a girlfriend. Chase and Zuma have given their hearts to Eriel and she is quite impressed having both of them. And what will become of Skye and Everest now that they know, Chase and Zuma both have someone else. Stay tuned. Please also PM me and please review.
