Chapter 2
Everest and Chase were in shock becuase they knew that Marshall had been in the cabin. Everest and Chase started
to cry because they knew that Marshall would never be able to survive that kind of explosion. Jake started to
blame himself and Ryder went to comfort the pups. Just when Everest and Chase started crying, Marshall came from the back of the building.
"Is...everyone...okay?" Marshall was breathing heavily and still in a state of shock. He knew that there was a gas
line leak because he started to smell gas inside the cabin. He immediately ran out the back door because the front
door was locked in from debris falling and blocking it.
"MARSHALL!" said Everest and Chase. They both ran up, crying, and hugged Marshall. They were so happy that
Marshall was alive. Ryder and Jake lifted their heads to see that Marshall. They both ran up and started giving
him a belly rub.
"I am so glad you're alive." said both Jake and Ryder, rubbing Marshall's belly. The explosion caused the cabin to
collapse, but there was no more wood to burn, so the fire became a smolder, and finally to ash.
"We need to take Sylvia to Katie's" said Marshall, very worried. Everest saw how worried Marshall was and began to
feel jealous because she thought that Marshall was falling for Sylvia. The pups rushed over to Katie's. Marshall
was taking Sylvia in the back of his Ambulance truck and they were able to make the drive in record time. Marshall
went into the back of his truck and got Sylvia from the back. He carried Sylvia on his back and put her down on
the table.
"Oh no! What happened?" said Katie. She saw that Sylvia had deep wounds and a couple of major burns. Sylvia's
heart reat was very low, she was barely breathing. Katie had to put a tube down her throat so that Sylvia could
breath. "Ryder, she will survive, but it will be a long and tough recovery. She will need to stay here for a
couple of days. She is currently in a coma, but I will let you know when she wakes up."
"Okay. Pups, let's head back to the lookout." Ryder and the pups started to go back to the lookout. Everest didn't
want to go to the lookout because she would have to see Marshall.
"Why do I have these stupid feelings?" thought Everest. She didn't want to talk or see Marshall because she is
always depressed. She knew that she didn't have a choice, since Jake's cabin burnt down. Everest decided to go to
the lookout, but avoid Marshall. She arrived at the lookout and the first pup she saw was Marshall, who was on his
way to see her.
"Hey Everest!" Marshall was so excited because he wanted to tell Everest that he liked her. Everest didn't talk to
Marshall and just walked to Skye, which made Marshall depressed. Chase saw that Marshall was depressed and he went
to go and talk to him.
"Marshall, what's up buddy?" Marshall didn't look up, only looked at the sun setting over the horizon. He wanted
to ask Everest out on a date, but Everest wasn't talking to him. "Marshall, are you okay?" Marshall still said
nothing. Chase left Marshall to go and get Ryder, who was talking with Jake.
"This is where you will be staying, Jake. Sorry it is the guest room, we don't have any other room available."
"That's cool, dude. Thank you so much for this."
"Ryder, Ryder, Ryder." Chase came running in, almost hitting Ryder in the leg.
"What's up, Chase?"
"Marshall is depressed."
"Why? What happened?"
"I don't know, Ryder, I just...don't know."
"I'm going to go and talk to Marshall. Chase, can you show Jake where everything is?"
"Yes, sir." Ryder started to walk out of the lookout and saw Skye and Everest talking. He then saw Marshall lying
in the grass, watching the sun go down.
"Marshall, what's wrong? Chase and I are worried." Marshall still didn't say anything. Ryder knew something was
really wrong. "Marshall, you could tell me anything. What is bothering you." Marshall let out a big sigh.
"I don't want to talk about it, I just want to be alone."
Ryder definately knew something was wrong. He started to walk into the lookout, when he decided to see if the
other pups knew. He started to talk to Rocky, Zuma, Rubble and Skye, who did not know anything. He then went to
Everest, who also didn't know but became very worried. Ryder then decided that he needed the pups to help
investigate this. Ryder went into his phone, and called all the pups. Everyone but Marshall went to the lookout.
"Where's Marshall?" Said Rocky.
"He is just lying in the grass." As Chase said this, the elevator started going up and the pups got into the
uniform. The pups reached the top of the lookout and got into position.
"PAW Patrol ready for action, Ryder sir. Well, most of us, Marshall is not here."
"That is why I called you up here. Marshall is depressed and we need to get to the bottom of this."
"I think I know why, Ryder" said Everest, thinking about what happened only half an hour ago.
"What is it, Everest?"
"When I got here, I ignored Marshall because I was jealous about how much he..." Everest realized what she was
saying and immediately stopped talking. All the pups and Ryder was staring at her, in shock because Everest was
never jealous before.
"Everest, tell us."
"I...I...I was jealous because of how much Marshall cared about...about...about Sylvia." Everest realized that
everyone was staring at her and put her face into her arms. She was so ashamed about what happened.
"Everest, is this true?" said Ryder. Everyone was still in shock. "It is okay, you are young."
"I need to go and talk to him." said Everest. She went down the elevator and went to Marshall. She noticed that he
had been crying for a while, so she nuzzled him. Marshall just let out a big sigh, got up, and left. Everest
caught up with Marshall and stopped him immediately.
"Marshall, please talk to me." Everest started to cry, but Marshall wiped the tears from Everest's eyes. Everest
started to blush and Marshall did too.
"I am sorry, Marshall. I...I...I...I was jealous, alright!" Marshall was shocked. He did not expect that Everest
would be jealous. "I can tell you are shocked, Marshall. I was jealous because I have never seen you care about
another pup like you did with Sylvia." Everest started crying again, but Marshall started to wipe the tears again.
"Do you...uhhhh...like me?" Marshall said. Everest was shocked, but she knew that she couldn't avoid the question.
"Well, do you like me?" Marshall did not expect the question, but knew that he also would not be able to avoid the
question.
"I...I...I do..." Marshall was shaking on how nervous he was. Everest went up to Marshall and licked the side of
his cheek. Marshall started to blush.
"I...like you too." Everest realized that Marshall was licking her cheek, and began to blush as well. Marshall
then put his paws on her cheeks, turned her head towards him, and Marshall kissed Everest. What the two didn't
know was that Skye and Chase were watching them.
"Awwwww, they are so cute together." Skye then realized that Marshall and Everst probably heard them. Fortunately,
they didn't, but they turned around and saw Skye and Chase. They both just smiled and walked away.
"They are definately cute. I can't belive it took them this long to go out" Chase said. Skye then started getting
closer to Chase, though he didn't notice this.
"Can I ask you something, Chase?" Chase didn't know that Skye liked him and Skye didn't know that Chase liked her,
so she was nervous because she thought that Chase would say no.
"What's up Skye?"
"It's that...for a lo..." Skye was interrupted by a call from Ryder.
"Pups, it's time for bed"
"Oh, shoot. I will tell you later, Chase."
Ryder and Jake went into the lookout and the pups went to their doghouses. Everest went with Marshall to his
doghouse and slept together. Early the next morning, Ryder gets a call from Mayor Goodway.
"Ryder, there is an emergency!"
"What is it, Mayor Goodway?"
"The city hall bell is falling. It is being held by a rusty chain. It is very unstable."
"Oh no! No job is too big, no pup is too small!"
"Thank you, Ryder." Ryder called the pups to the lookout. Almost all the pups were in the elevator. Marshall was
last, as always. Marshall tripped over a wagon and rolled into the elevator. All the pups moved out of the way and
Marshall hit the wall of the elevator. Everest went over and kissed him on the lips. Zuma, Rocky and Rubble were
in shock but they noticed that Chase and Skye weren't reacting the same. The elevator started going up and the
pups got into their uniform. The elevator got to the top of the lookout and the pups got into their lineup.
"Thanks for getting here so quick, pups. The bell on top of city hall is starting to fall. The chain that is
holding it up is rusting and could fall at any point in time. For this mission, I will need Chase, Rocky and
Marshall. Chase, I need you to secure the work area. Rocky, I need you to repair the chains that hold the city
hall bell up. Everest, I need you to use your claw to help support the bell. Finally, Marshall. I need you to put your ladder up to the top of city hall and get Rocky to the
top."
The pups said their catch phrases, Ryder went down his fireman's pole, the pups went down their slide. The pups
and Ryder rushed to city hall. Chase secured the work area around so no one would get hurt and Marshall moved his
truck into position so Rocky could get up to the bell. Marshall jumped out of his truck and stood next to started to climb the ladder, but the chain that was holding the bell snapped and landed on Marshall and Everest. By luck, the bell landed on the base, so Marshall and Everest were trapped inside. Marshall and Everest couldn't hear Ryder from outside the bell because the metal was so thick.
"Skye, I need you and your helicopter at city hall in a hurry."
"Let's take to the sky!" Skye went down the slide and got into her helicopter. She got to city hall and noticed that Marshall and Everest were not there.
"Where's Marshall and Everest?"
"They are stuck inside the bell."
Marshall and Everest could not care less that they were stuck in a bell because they only cared about each other.
"Marshall, you make me so happy." Everest said this in between kissing Marshall.
"You make me happy too, Everest."
Skye hooked up the bell, but since it was made with solid copper, it couldn't be moved. Ryder called Rubble to get him to lift the bell with his crane. He also used Everest's vehicle to help lift the bell. With all three vehicles, the bell was moved. When Ryder, Rubble, Rocky, Chase and Skye turned their attention to Everest and Marshall, they saw them sleeping.
"They are so cute!" said Rocky. "Did I just say that?" Rocky realized that he really wanted a relationship like Marshall and Everest's.
"Okay, pups, let's get the bell to the top of city hall." With the three vehicles, they were able to get the bell to the top of City Hall and Rocky got two thick chains to hang it. Ryder tested the bell, ringing it. This caused Marshall and Everest to jump up and land on each other, Everest on top of Marshall. Everest gave Marshall a kiss and got off. Just then, Ryder got a call from Katie.
"Hello Katie, what's up?"
"Ryder, Sylvia woke up!"
"That's great news! I am on my way with some of the pups."
"Okay, Ryder. See you soon."
Ryder called Zuma and Jake and told them that Sylvia woke up. They all rushed to Katie's and saw the husky pup awake.
"Hi, Sylvia. How are you feeling?" said Ryder. Sylvia looked in Ryder's direction.
"I feel sore. Thank you for saving me. Who exactly saved me?"
"I did" Marshall raised his paw. Sylvia jumped off of her bed and licked Marshall's cheek. This made Marshall blush, but angered Everest. Marshall saw Everest mad, so he walked over and told her not to worry because he liked her. Marshall gave Everest a kiss on the cheek and Everest's anger turned into happiness.
"Sylvia, do you remember how the cabin caught on fire?" said Chase, ready to take mental notes for his investigation.
"I do. It started early on a cold morning..."
Hope you enjoyed this chapter. I will be posting a new one tomorrow. I probably will only be able to post a couple chapters on the weekend because I am very busy with school, projects, and finals. I will try to post something during the week, but it will be tough.
