A/N : Right, the last chapter was quite dark. If you were a bit lost or don't know what will happen now. First of all, breath. Second, keep calm and carry on reading. Everything will be explained eventually.
The sun rose up. Everything seemed bleak in the bright light of the sun. Everyone went about their normal business and the city worked on productively as usual. The sun moved over the hill causing its rays to collide with the magnificent Paw patrol tower that stood there still. Ryder decided it was time to wake up. Honestly after what had happened the previous night, all he wants to see are his pups. All of them lined up with their wagging tails and smiles that made his world complete. He loved them all like family but now he had some repairs to do to make his family whole again.
Ryder got up opening the curtains of his room to let the sunlight in. (Man, what a beautiful day) he thought. He looked over to his left seeing his pup-pad. He grabbed it but hesitated to call his little pups. He decided to leave it. "I want to see them myself." He said as walked out his room.
Rubble had fallen asleep in Ryder's arms the previous night. Ryder set him there in the living room to sleep peacefully. He walked into the room seeing his little pup, still asleep. He walked over and gave him an ear-scratch. "Rubble, Rubble. Come on buddy. Wake up." He said softly, smiling. A smile grew on Rubble's face. "Oh yeah Silvia, right there." He said. Ryder was baffled as to why he said this but just smiled, "Rubble!" He shouted as his little pup shot up into the air landing in his owner's arms. "Hey! Oh, morning Ryder." He said licking the spikey-haired boy's cheek. "Morning buddy. How did you sleep?", "Okay, I guess. But my sleeping mask would have made it all better." He said as the two laughed. "Listen, will you go wake Skye and Everest for me?" He asked. "Sure." His little puppy said wagging his tail in his arms. "Okay." Ryder said putting him down as Rubble ran off to do what he was asked to do.
Ryder walked outside to feel the fresh air collide with his skin. He loved the feeling. He walked over to Rocky's pup-house first. "Rocky, buddy you awake. Come-on pup. Wake up." Ryder said knocking on the door of his pup-house. Soon the door opened and a mixed-breed pup walked out. His eyes were a bit red from crying, but it was unnoticeable. "Morning Ryder." He said licking his owner's cheek. "Morning buddy, so how are you?" He asked, "I'm o-okay but just a bit tired. I'll be over for breakfast in a few minutes." He said yawning. "Okay, but don't be too long, okay." Ryder said. "Okay." Rocky said walking back into his pup-house. (Off to Marshall) Ryder thought as he walked off.
Ryder walked over to the red pup-house and smiled thinking of Marshall. (He always made us all happy) he thought. Ryder always saw a spark in Marshall that ignited his personality and made him so unique, so fun to be around. That's why Chase and Zuma took such a quick liking to him when they met. Ryder thought (And the spark only grew. It never died as Marshall was always himself. Especially when Rocky came along) Ryder thought. He knocked on the door. "Mar-" he was cut off as the door opened and his favourite dalmation walked out but something was off about him. "Morning pup.", Ryder said. "M-Morning Ryder." Marshall said yawning. Something was wrong and Ryder noticed it. Marshall wasn't the same. He never had that spark anymore and his eyes seemed to have lost their color. His voice wasn't as cheery and he never even licked Ryder on his cheek, which he always did. (Marshall isn't Marshall anymore) Ryder thought. "I'll see you at breakfast." Marshall just said as he walked off. He never even smiled and he always did.
Ryder just shrugged it off and walked over to Zuma's pup-house. He walked over and knocked on the door. "Zuma, buddy, you awake?" He asked but got no answer. "Zuma, come-on wake up. The coolest pup in the world can't sleep in and needs his breakfast.", Soon the door opened and a brown chocolate lab walked out. "Morning Ryder." He said looking at him. "Morning pup, so how are y-" Ryder was cut off, "Don't ask Ryder but I'm fine and what about you?" He asked, "I'm okay, just happy to see you're fine." He said patting Zuma on the head. "Yeah." Zuma said. Zuma also seemed different, he wasn't his cool self. He seemed broken down, lost even. Ryder grabbed him and held him close as he hugged him. Zuma hugged back tightly, "You know you can talk to me about anything, right." Ryder said looking into Zuma's eyes, "Yeah, I know." He said as he jumped out of his owner's arms and walked off toward the lookout.
(Off to Chase) Ryder thought. He walke over to his number one pup that he loved so much. Finding Chase was one of the happiest moments of Ryder's life. He walked over. He moved to knock on the door but was cut off. "Morning Ryder sir." A voice said as Ryder jumped turning around seeing his german shepherd pup sitting there. "Morning Chase, did you go for a walk." He asked walking over to him. "Not exactly, I kinda slept outside out in the open under the tree. Sorry, I didn't inform you but-", Chase said but was cut off, "Its okay Chase.", "Come on, let's head off to breakfast." He said patting his pup's head as the two walked off. Chase seemed a bit off as well but Ryder shrugged of the feelings off evertime. (My pups aren't the same) he thought.
As the two made it over to breakfast the rest were all sitting lined up. Chase looked at Zuma who looked back. He the looked away afterward. Chase then saw Skye, Rubble and Everest move in and Skye moved next to Zuma. He then looked at Everest. He walked over and sat next to her. "Morning." He said as she looked back at him, "Morning, Chase." She said nuzzling him as he nuzzled back. The two never noticed but they had started cuddling with each-other. Zuma and Skye were also cuddling as they waited for their breakfast. "Ahem." Ryder said as he poured the pup food into their bowls. They all stopped quickly and began eating. Not a word was said during the entire time. Soon after breakfast, they all decided to do their own thing.
Chase and Zuma both went to their pup-houses while Rocky and Rubble played tug-of-war. Skye and Everest went to Katie's and Marshall took a walk through the city. Ryder was in the lookout busy on his pup-pad. Chase just laid in his pup-house. He had a lot on his mind and wanted to clear it all. He then decided to turn some music on. Music always made him happy as he and the other pups would often listen to music. So he tuned his radio and a song started playing.
"I'm feeling like a star, you can't stop my shining. Loving cloud nine. My head's in the sky."
"I'm solo, I'm ridin solo, I'm ridin solo, I'm ridin solo, solo."
Chase quickly turned his radio off. The song that played brought up memories he didn't want to think off. Not because they made him upset or angry but because they made him happy. Every memory the song brought up made him smile but now he knew, he'd lost all of it and wasn't going to get it back. His smile vanished as tears started building up in his eyes. Soon there was a knock on the door. "Hey Chasey." A voice said. He opened the door and saw her. The alsation that once made his heart skip a beat, the one that made his world complete. The one he'd given his heart to. He looked at her as he moved out his pup-house. "Come-on let's go to the beach." She said. Chase stood there, "Why the beach?" He asked, "Just come-on." She said grabbing his paw and pulling him but he stopped, "Why in such a hurry, Eriel?" He asked. "Oh, I'm not in a-", "Afraid Zuma's gonna show up and catch you." He said cutting her off, "What?" she asked a bit shocked. "Am I first today, or was Zuma first?" He asked looking directly into her eyes. "What, I... Zuma and I..." She was cut off by a voice, "Yeah, I guess you were first, Chase." Said Zuma as he walked over and sat next to Chase, "So, when were you planning on meeting me, right after you were done with Chase?" He asked looking at her. "I...I...I..." She couldn't form any words as she knew she was caught. "So, what going to happen now?" Chase asked, "Listen, I never-", she was cut off again, "I'll tell you what. Were done." Zuma and Chase said at the same time looking at her. Tears started rolling down her cheeks, "But I thought you-", "Yeah, we thought to but guess what we were all wrong." Chase said. "Bye." Zuma said. She then took off, crying, running in the opposite direction. The two were hurt, but knew it had to be done. "This is the last time we stand together." Zuma said looking at Chase who nodded in agreement. Zuma then walked off as Chase looked at him. Soon Zuma abruptly stopped.
Zuma just looked in amazement as he saw his cockapoo friend walk up the driveway. She had just come back from Katie's with Everest. She looked stunning, her fur shone in the sunlight while her pink eyes made everything else seem colorless. Chase then also looked and was too stunned by what he saw. Everest looked beautiful as her blue eyes made the ocean seem bleak and he immediately got lost in her fur.
The two walked up the driveway and saw the two staring. "Hey guys." They both said. "Hi Skye." Zuma said walking up to the two. "Hello to you to Zuma," Everest said, "Oh, sorry Everest. Hi" Zuma said as he turned his attention right back to Skye. "Y-You look a-amazing." He said blushing a little, "Aww, thanks Zumy.", "So, you wanna play some pup-pup-boogie with me?" He asked. Her tail started wagging, "Sure, if you're willing to lose." She said taunting him, "You're on." He said accepting her challenge as the two ran off laughing toward the lookout.
"Hey Everest. You look stunning." Said Chase as he walked up to her. "Thanks Chase." He grabbed her paw holding it gently in his as he kissed it making her blush. "Come-on." He said. "Where?" She asked, "Just come-on." He said as he held her paw pulling her as they ran to the backyard. The two started playing all sorts of games. Tug-of-war, tag, hide and seek, wrestling anything. The two laughed as they played together. Soon they stopped in the middle of the yard panting hard from being so tired. Chase layed down on his back saying, "Man, I'm beat but that was fun Everest.","Yeah, it really was." She said as she layed down. As she layed down her head landed on Chase's chest by accident. She quickly got up. "Sorry. I never meant to..." She said blushing a little. "Its okay, I don't mind." He said smiling as she layed her head back on his chest. She felt his heart-beat which was quite fast and actually getting faster and faster. She then put her paw on her own chest and felt her heart-rate to, increasing and increasing, but it matched his. He then got up and so did she.
"I can always be myself around you." He said smiling at her. "You make my world complete and without you, I'm not here.", Everest eyes grew wider as she heard Chase say this to her. Her heart beat went even higher as he spoke every word. The thoughts roamed through her head but they all went away when she felt a paw touch hers. She looked and saw his there. She then looked at him, deep into his eyes. The two inched closer untill their lips touched.
Everest loved every second of it as they kissed. All the thoughts roaming through her head disappeared as her mind went blank. She then felt a wet member enter her mouth as he put his tongue into her mouth making the kiss deeper. The two held the kiss for almost a minute before breaking. They looked at each-other and smiled. "That was incredible." She said, "Yeah, it was." He said as he looked into her eyes, "How could I have been so blind?" He said as she looked at him a bit confused, "What do you mean? Chasey.", she asked, "Listen Everest, will you meet me back here tomorrow evening?" He asked. She looked at him still confused. "But what about-" she was cut off. "She's no longer mine." He said. She wasn't going to pass an oppurtunity to spend time with him. "Okay, I will, around this time, right?" She asked, "Yeah..." He said as he leaned in to kiss her again. She then put her paws on his face, turned it and kissed his cheek. She then walked away saying, "I'll see you tomorrow." Chase just stared, sitting there stunned, putting a paw on his cheek where he was kissed. (Tomorrow it is) he thought.
Zuma and Skye ran into the lookout. The two entered the living room and set up everything for their pup-pup-boogie dance-off. The two danced for a while with every round ending a tie and the two winning one round each. The two could barely walk after they were done. "Wow, that was fun." Skye said laying down. "Yeah, anything I do with you is fun. I just love spending time with you Skye." He said as he laid next to her nuzzling her cheek. "Aww, thanks." She said. He then put his paw underneath her chin and brought her head up untill her eyes met his. He them moved in and making their lips touch. Sparks went off for the two as they kissed. They both made it deeper exploring each-others mouths with their tongues. They held the kiss and then broke after about a minute. They looked into each-others eyes. "Wow." Was all Skye could say. "Yeah, Wow." Zuma said. "Uhm, Skye I was wondering if you could meet me at the beach tomorrow afternoon." He said looking at her. Skye just looked at him. "But I thought you and Eriel were together, even though she was dating Chase at the same time.", "Nope, that all ended today and won't be a problem. So whatcha say?" He asked again. "Sure, I'd love to." She said. "Great." He leaned in and kissed her cheek. "See you then." He said as he got up and walked off out of the room. (Tomorrow, I'll show her how I truly feel) he thought as he walked off. She sat up and couldn't help but smile.
The alsation who thought she had both of them to herself. Who could use both of them whenever she wanted to ran with the tears still in her eyes. She ran all the way back toward her house. She entered slowly but her owner stood right there waiting, "So..." Her owner asked, she wiped the tears away, "Like I said before, just as planned." She said as she smiled at her owner.
A/N : Uh-oh, what does she mean "as planned". Why is she not upset. What was the plan in the beginnig. I wonder what Chase and Zuma have planned for Skye and Everest tomorrow. Eriel's been caught red handed but everything still isn't back to normal. So many questions. Now remember, breath and keep calm. Next chapter will be up by tomorrow. PM if you have questions and please review.
