After the trucks pulled into Jake's parking lot, Skye eagerly jumped out to meet Everest, "Evy!"

Everest wagged her tail like crazy, giving her a hug, "Skye!"

All the boys also had come out, minus...

Rocky suddenly realized something, "Where's Marshall?"

Everest seemed puzzled as well, "Yeah? Where is he?"

Chase had an idea, "I'll find him."

Chase's suspicions were right. Marshall was cowering in his EMT truck.

"Marshall?" Chase asked.

Marshall ducked only his ears and cap sticking out from the truck doors. He whimpered.

Chase smirked, understanding what was going on. "Marshall, why don't you tell her? She actually seemed to have looked forward to seeing you."

Marshall's eyes peeked out, "Tell her? Are you crazy?! We've only known each other for several weeks!"

Chase smirked, "And yet you drool over her icon in the briefing today."

"Um," Marshall's face was perfectly blending in with his red truck, "Can we never mention that incident ever again?"

Chase chuckled, "Aw, c'mon! When the time comes, confess."

Marshall finally showed his face, not blushing anymore, "Okay, Chase. I'll confess to Everest once you confess to Skye."

That fire pup knew how to leave a burn.

Chase just stood there as Marshall got out, got his snow gear, and walked out to join the group.

Chase finally shook himself and ran up to Marshall, walking next to him, "Okay. So I may have issues with talking to Skye."

Marshall gave him this look.

"Okay. So I do have issues with talking to Skye..."

Marshall smiled, "Hey, I know what you're going through. We're best friends, are we not? We're in this together! I help you with your future girl, you help me in mine - ... mine future girl? Anyways, we just both-"

"-There he is!"

Marshall was met with a hug from, out of all pups, Everest, "I was beginning to think they didn't bring you! C'mon, PAW Patrol needs us!"

Everest broke the hug and raced off to where Ryder was talking with Jake. Marshall was speechless, red like a tomato.

Chase grinned, "... as you were saying?"

"We just both need some serious help."


Soon enough, the pups assigned to the mission. Chase was scouting the trail while Everest and Rocky cleaned up. Skye searched from the, well, sky.

"Nothing in sight, Ryder!" Skye cheerfully reported.

"Thanks, Skye." Ryder replied, "Call us periodically with updates, okay?"

Skye's plane started zooming towards another area, "Got it, Ryder!"

Everest still thought a flying pup was too cool.

She and Rocky were just finishing the trail, Chase sniffing a bush, "Hey... this smells like..."

Chase sniffed more, "But no... It really does smell like, though..."

He bit his lip and went up to Ryder, "Ryder, I just might have-"

Skye cut in within that moment, laughing. "Ryder! I just found Everest's 'monster.' come look!" Skye giggled still before turning her comn off.

Ryder locked on her coordinates using his phone of awesome awesomeness, "Okay, Skye! On the way!"

Ryder and the pups with him raced over to where Skye was. Well, they were... then Everest heard her mystery noise and raced behind a bush, shaking, "There it is again!"

Ryder had a very amused grin on his face, "Everest, that's no monster..."

Chase and Rocky were struggling to hold their giggles. Everest nervously came out of her hiding spot, looking to see a...

Cow.

"Mooooooo!"

Everest was shocked, "... I was scared of that frightless thing?"

She blushed when Chase and Rocky burst out laughing.

"I thought that scent was familiar! Now I know why!" Chase hit the ground with his paw, "Okay, Bessie," Chase addressed farmer Yumi's cow, "This the second time you popped out of nowhere up here. Let's get you home."

Everest was all red all the way back to the cabin. Ryder carefully led Yumi's cow back, "Hey, Jake!" Ryder called, "Come look what we found!"

Jake came out from the house, took one look at the cow, and chuckled. "You know, this is the second time that cow somehow got lost up up..."

Zuma and Rubble (Marshall wasn't with them) also giggled.

"Everest heard a cow?" Rubble laughed.

"Uh..." Everest confessed, looking quite uncomfortable, "Yeah..."

Ryder already was calling farmer Yumi, "Hello, farmer Yumi, guess what we found in Jake's mountain?"

Ryder and Chase waited with the cow in the front while everyone else was out back. Most of the boys and girls were getting their snow gear ready, but one pup seemed absent.

"Hey, guys," Rocky asked, "Where's Marshall?"

As if on que, Marshall came out from the bushes with a massive look of relief on his face, "This is better..."

Rubble jumped up and down, clapping all four paws, "Marshall, you missed it!"

"Missed what?" Marshall's ears pricked up.

Several pups started chuckling again.

"Everest heard a cow!"

Marshall didn't laugh, but he sure had an amused face. "Wha?"

Skye barked, defending her new friend, "Guys, you know it still must of been scary when it was hidden, right? And she's only lived here how long?"

"Suuuuuuuuure," Rubble giggled, "Of course we do."

Everest was watching the entire scene from the back porch. No one noticed her slip away.

Jake came out of the house with treats for the seven pups. His worry grew when he didn't see a certain pup in the group. "Hey, guys, where's Everest?"

Everyone froze.

Chase looked around, "Hey, where'd she go?"

Chase started sniffing for her scent while most of the other pups blindly walked in random directions, "Everest!?" they called.

Skye raced to her helicopter to search from a higher view. Marshall too found her scent and raced after it while Chase was examining the porch.

They were all worried that Everest would get hurt out there, not knowing she already was.
