A/N : Right so thank you for the reviews I got for the last chapter. And by the way, the story is far from done. Just keep calm and read on.

Ryder was worried sick. He first of all had no idea as to what Chase and Zuma had been doing the entire day and now Skye and Everest just seemed to have vanished. (Teenagers) Ryder thought to himself. He was in the observatory of the lookout. He had, had enough, it was already eight at night and the pups weren't even back yet. He took his pup pad and dialed the pups. He dialed Chase first, since he was the leader. "Chase, Chase, come in." He said over the line.

Chase had drifted off into a deep sleep. After finally confessing to the pup of his dreams, he felt renewed. He felt even better now that he was sleeping right next to her and he wasn't going to let anything hurt her. Soon he heard a beeping sound. He quickly woke up and looked at Everest make sure she was ok and still asleep. He then checked and noticed it was his pup-tag that was beeping. (Oh right I took it off) he thought as he walked over to it. "Chase, Chase, come in." He heard Ryder's voice. "I'm here Ryder.", he said. "Chase, where are you? Where have you been the entire day? Why didn't you tell me anything?" Ryder shouted over the line. "Oh, sorry Ryder sir. With everything I wanted to do, it just slipped my mind and I forgot to inform you.", "Come home. Now!" Ryder shouted as a reply cutting the call. Chase just sat there. (That went better than I expected) he thought as he then walked over to Everest. He nudged her on the side of her face. "Hey, hey. Wake-up my liitle snowflake." She opened her eyes slowly still dead-tired from the fun she and Chase had earlier. She yawned looking at Chase and smiled. "What's wrong?" She asked, "Nothing, just Ryder wants us home, now." He said as he licked her cheek. "Oh no, I forgot to tell him where I was going." She said a bit worried. "And I'm still pretty tired.". She yawned again. "Don't worry, I'm here for you." He grabbed his tux jacket and put it around her. He then laid on his stomach next to her, "Hop on." He said smiling. She climed onto his back with his jacket around her. He grabbed his tie and their collars and walked off as she proceeded to fall asleep on his back.

Ryder was still very upset. He then dialed Zuma. "Zuma, Zuma, come in pup." He said over the line. The line had a bit of static meaning he was far off and Ryder did not like the idea of him being so far away and him not having a clue to where he is.

Zuma was sleeping soundly with his little pink gum-drop (Skye), ontop of him. Soon he heard beeping. His collar was arm length away and so he grabbed it still laying down. "Zuma here." He said still sleepy. "Zuma! Where are you?" A voice shouted making Zuma almost jump. "Huh, oh Ryder its you. I'm, uhm..." He was cut off, "Coming home. Now!" Ryder shouted angrily over the pup-pad, "Yes sir." Zuma said immitating Chase. Ryder actually chuckled as he cut the call. (Zuma's always full of jokes. Not as much as Marshall but still) Ryder thought. Zuma then stroked Skye's head trying to wake her up. "Zumy, just a few more minutes." She said drifting back off to sleep ontop of him. "Come-on Skye, Ryder wants us back at the lookout." She then yawned, waking up getting off him. He then got up, "Sorry, my little pink gum-drop. Oh I got it." He said. He quickly grabbed his tux jacket and put it around her, "Okay, so now I'll carry you home.", "Aww, Zumy you don't have to." She said as she yawned again. "Yep, you're tired and its my duty to get you home safely after bringing you out here as your boyfriend." She smiled after he said this and jumped on. She felt him start walking as she fell asleep on his back.

Back at the lookout...

Ryder paced back and forth infront of the main entrance door to the lookout. (These two better be here soon or they're gonna be in bigger trouble then they already are). Zuma walked up the driveway with Skye in his back. Feeling her warm body on his made him smile all the way. He then saw something walking out from the woods. It seemed to be walking to the lookout. Zuma continued walking and a shaped formed. It was Chase. Chase then looked over at Zuma. They both missed each-other, missed all the fun they had. Their competitive nature that made them who they are, that made them buddies, no best buddies. They examined each-other seeing they both had a pup on their backs. They both soon realised what had happened to the other. The two just walked next to each-other smiling to the lookout. As they reached the main door it opened and out came their owner with fire blazed in his eyes and his hair seemed to fiercly point upward.

He looked at the two of them noticing Skye was on Zuma's back and Everest on Chase's. He could see all their furs were scruffy and messy. "Why are they on your backs?" He asked first. "Well, we all played at the park earlier. Guess we played a bit too much in the dirt, right Zuma?" Chase said, Zuma immediately caught on to what Chase was doing. "Yeah and well Everest and Skye were beat so we decided to carry them home." Zuma said looking at Chase. "So you all played the whole day at the park?" Ryder asked in disbelief, "Yeah." They both answered, "Well next time you tell me before you go and what business was Rubble speaking of.", "To order food from Mr. Porters and now if you don't mind Ryder sir, Everest is still extremly tired so I'd like to put her to bed." Chase answered, "Okay Chase, set her down in the the living room." Chase let his head down as he wanted her to sleep with him in his pup-house. As he walked, "Uhm, Ryder I was wondering if you could take a look at my pup-house tomorrow, there's something wrong with it. I think my buoy launcher's busted." Zuma said distracting Ryder. Chase quickly looked as Zuma motioned for him to exit which he did with Everest still on his back. "Okay Zuma I will, now go to bed and not somewhere else, to bed. Drop Skye off at her pup-house for me as well please." Ryder said as he yawned, "Okay, well goodnight Ryder." Zuma said as he walked out the lookout. (They're still good pups) Ryder thought as he went to bed.

They never noticed but a certain mixed-breed was watching from the window, (Way to go guys) he thought as he saw Chase and Zuma stand up for each-other. He then smiled as he walked off. As he walked a certain dalmation came walking from the backyard. (Probably went to the bathroom) Rocky thought as the dalmation stopped when he saw him. Rocky just looked at Marshall and then flashed him a smile. Marshall winked back as he walked to his pup-house. (I miss you buddy) Rocky thought as he went to bed.

Chase laid Everest down in his pup-house. He took his tux off her and covered her with his blanket. He just stared for a second taking in how perfect she was. He then looked over seeing Zuma at his pup-house laying Skye down and covering her with a blanket as well. Zuma looked over at Chase who smiled. Zuma gave him a wink as he entered his pup-house and laid next to Skye making her comfortable laying his head ontop of hers and putting his paw around her. (Thanks buddy) Chase thought as he walked into his pup-house falling asleep next to Everest.

None of them had noticed but two pairs of eyes were watching from a safe distance and were hidden very well. "No, no. Why is this happening? Its not suppose to happen!" The unknown person shouted. He looked to his right as a pup sat there watching as well. A well known alsation looked back, "I'm sorry, it wasn't suppose to happen. I failed." She said putting her head down. The person patted her head. "No, you didn't fail. We underestimated the strength of their friendship. So I guess its time for plan B." He said smiling, "What's that?" The pup asked. "You'll see, soon enough." He answered. (And so will you, Ryder) he thought as well.

The next day...

The sun now rose but it was half way over the horizon. A certain chocolate lab decided after waking up, he wanted to swim a little before breakfast. (Its the perfect time, the beach won't be so crowded), he thought. He looked at the cockapoo he was laying next to and just smiled kissing her on her cheek. She then smiled still sleeping. Soon he got up, stretched, made sure she was comfy and exited his pup-house to greet the new day. He saw that it was extremely early and no-one would be awake. He then turned to his left and started walking. He yawned closing his eyes and his nose hit something. He opened his eyes seeing two hazel eyes who seemed just as shocked. It was Chase. The two both backed away laughing. Zuma decided to break the akward laughter, "Morning Chase." He said. "Morning buddy." Chase said smiling at Zuma. "So where are you off to?" He asked, "Just to the beach, wanna come. We can also take a morning dip if you wanna?" Zuma asked wagging his tail, "That be awesome." Chase replied.

The two then started walking to the beach but the walk soon turned into a light jog and then a full out sprint to the beach, "You'll never beat me shepherd!" Zuma shouted, "Watch me labrador!" Chase shouted back. The two ran neck-in-neck. Soon they both reached the beach with the race ending a tie. The two panted hard. They then decided to take a swim. They swam in the ocean laughing and splashing water. They then got out and chased each-other all over the beach wrestling and play-fighting. Soon they were both beat as the sun rose more over the horizon. They sat just looking at the ocean. "Just like old times, hey Chase?" Zuma said, "Yeah, just and they were the best." He said smiling at his little buddy. He then walked over to Zuma. He looked him deeply into his eyes as he put a paw on his shoulder. Tears started building behind both their eyes. "Zuma, I'm so sorr..." Chase said wanting to apologize to his beat friend. No to his brother but stopped. Chase then beared his teeth as he backed away snarling and growling. "Chase, no, please I'm sorr-" Zuma tried to say but was cut off, "Zuma, watch out!" Chase shouted. Zuma was shocked and turned around but before he could a massive object hit him over his head and he fell to the ground. His vision became blurred and the last thing he saw before blacking out were a few rotwielers attack Chase as he shouted, "Zuma!". "Everything's going to be alright Zuma. Just sleep." He heard a voice behind him say as he blacked out.

A/N : Oh no what happened? Who attacked Chase and Zuma and Why? Stay tuned. Please review and PM if you have any questions.
