Joysie seemed to be everywhere in town to torture and make feel Valerie feel like garbage. Valerie became more and more isolated and less enthusiastic about things. She was becoming a person she didn't want to be.
And Valerie like always took her emotions out on her gym in the lookout or on her inventions. She would design projects that most would claim impossible.
Today while trying to catch some time alone she had yet another encounter with Joysie.
Valerie was being hurt greatly by her situation. Not only was Joysie effecting her emotional and personality difference but also physically. Joysie was hitting her more and more often. And Valerie seemed to have the ability to let it slide, and contain herself.
But when the pups and Ryder realized she was coming home with bruises and tried to talk to her about it she simply snapped back that everything was fine.
Valerie didn't know what to do she could easily beat this girl up but she was against slipping down to Joysies' level like she did a few weeks ago.
She couldn't tell Ryder and the pups they wouldn't be able to do anything.
She wasn't in school, she couldn't tattle on Joysie.
Valerie was ... Alone for the first time in her life.
Joysie had called her useless and a piece of nothing so often Valerie began to believe it and it hurt more than being stabbed in the heart.
Ryder picked up his pup pad to answer the call.
"Hello? This is the Paw Patrol." Ryder said looking into the screen.
"Oh dear Ryder theirs an emergency." Mayor Goodway said.
"What is it?"
"Well today I got a new statue and I gave it to Capt Turbot to puton seal island... but he accidently dropped it on a boat that had a family on board."
"Oh no."
"Yeah and the family was able to get out but their is still a passenger on board."
"We'll be right their."
He said as he turned off his pup pad.
"Paw Patrol is on a roll!" he said as he called all the pups.
Everyone went to the Lookout and Valerie stood on the opposite side of the screen and Ryder stood on the other.
"Alright pups we have a emergency." Valeire said.
"Yep. There's a sinking ship on the bay and we need to go in and save the trapped passenger." Ryder said pointing at the screen.
"Zuma were going to need your hovercraft to get the freed passengers to shore." Valerie stated.
"Lets dive in!" Zuma said .
"Next we'll need Skye and your harness just in case Zuma is still busy with the other passengers." Ryder said.
"Lets take to the sky!" Skye said doing her usual back flip.
"Okay last but not least we'll need Marshall and your medical kit." Valerie said.
"I'm not wearing my med kit should I go get changed?" Marshall said turning around to change.
"Wait Marshall me and Valerie did some modifications on your pup packs they hold even more equipment and are made with lighter materials."
"Cool... I'm FIRED UP!" Marshall said.
"Alright then... Paw Patrol is on a ..." Valerie was suddenly interrupted.
"I thought it was my turn?"
"No you did it last week... fine go ahead."
"Thank you ... Paw Patrol is on a roll!" Ryder said as he and Valerie went down their usual poles down to their ATV's.
The pups jumped on their vehicles and headed to the bay.
"Okay Zuma there are the 4 people you and sky need to take to the shore." Ryder said.
"We're on it!" Zuma and Skye both said as they got to work.
"Ryder! I'm going to enter the boat and get the other person out, you and Marshall wait out here."
Valerie said getting on the boat and going below deck.
She looked around the flooding floor and dripping pipes and checked the rooms for the missing person.
"Help!"
Valerie turned her head to see black hair and the familiar green eyes.
"YOU!" They both said at the same time.
"What are you doing here!" Joysie said." I thought we were getting important professionals to help me!"
"Well thats me." Valeries said trying to remove the debree that had trapped the girl.
"Yeah you wish you were important."
"Listen do you want me to help you or do you want to stay here!"
Valerie knew she couldn't leave her here but it just felt good to stand up for herself.
"Just get me out of here you abomination!"
Valerie could feel herself get angry but she pushed it to the side when the walls of the boat gave out and began to fill the lower deck at a alarming rate.
Before they knew it they were completely engulfed in water.
Valerie turned around in the blue water as she swam over to Joysie to help her out. She used all her strength but managed to get the piece of metal off of her tormenter. But she was suddenly cut badly on her left arm and could see the blood as it met with the water.
Valerie grabbed Joysie and swam as fast as she could to the surface. Joysie had taken alot of water and was now unconscious. When Valerie finally emerged from the water she grabbed Josie and passed her over to Ryder.
"Valerie are you okay?" Ryder said helping on to shore.
"I'm fine but she's going to need CPR." seh said breathlessly pointing at Joysie and checking her own injured arm.
Ryder got down on his knees and did CPR and before they knew it Joysie was up and coughing water.
"Woah hey are you alright?" Ryder said helping Joysie to her feet.
"I'm fine!" Joysie said shoving him off.
Ryder took a few steps back.
He saw that Joysie walked over to Valerie and was whispering something to her ear.
"You better get better at you damn job because you your pointy haired friend and your muts aren't good enough this stupid town can't rely on your stupid team." she said in a low hostile voice.
Valerie hated Joysie and to insult her, and her pups and her partner and her town. She just couldn't keep her cool.
She battled herself on what to do. But suddenly she decided to push all her rules to the side.
She grabbed Joysie with so much strength and anger and slammed her back into the ocean.
"I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW TO SWIM YOU INCONSIDERATE ANNOYING ... UHHHH!" She screamed in anger and frustration.
But suddenly for some miraculous feeling her " before the bullying" self came out and thought...
"Maybe this isn't right... I wish I didn't do that shes going to treat me twice as bad now.(sigh)"
Valerie ran her hands through her hair like she usually does when shes frusterated.
Valerie felt terrible not because she just pushed Joysie into the ocean but of what the rest of her weeks and days will be like because of this.
She looked down at her arm.
Now shes hurt and mad and confused and angry.
"Valerie?" Zuma said turning to Valerie in his hovercraft.
"Huh..." she said softly snapping back to reality.
"I've never seen you that upset before." skye said in her helicopter.
Valerie looked at the water as Joysie emerged and ignored her pups for the first time ever.
She got on her ATV and drove away.
