Chapter 14: Something's up
A/N: Hi, there. Sorry for the long wait again and thanks to the people who voted for the super power Sweetie will get. Now I'm back with a new chapter. Hope you enjoy it.
Marshall's POV (6 days):
"Just to remind you you're still injured. Don't do anything to dangerous or physical exhausting. That's an instruction as your medic." After saying that to Sweetie, I had to leave right away for there was an emergency at another part of the room calling for immediate attention. Heading over I thought I saw Tuck and Ella but I had no time to make sure. "So, I'm here. What happened?" I asked when arriving at the scene. A young pup laid there his paw outstretched. " Oh I see, it's your paw right? Don't worry. I'll check it right away." A few moments later I was done. "You're lucky. Nothing broken, just a sprained ankle. But I have to ask again: What happened?" "You see, I was practicing my routine when someone took a part of my construction which caused it to collaps." "I know it's strange that it's me who's asking, but could you describe the person, please?" "I try. She wears a black jacket and black jeans and a blue top. And erm … I don't know. That's all I can remember." "Thanks, that's quiet much. If it's the person I have in mind it's all I need to know. Oh, and don't do anything to exhausting so your paw can heal." With that I turned around to contact Ryder. "Ryder, do you hear me?" "Yes, Marshall, what can I do for you?" "I just heard that there might be that Ladybird person around. Could you please let Chase have a look? I'll look for clues myself, too. But it's better to have more eyes on the case." "Agreed. I'll contact him. Tell me if you find some clues to whether she is around. Talk to you later. Bye." "Bye, Ryder."
Now I've got to find clues for her to be here AND to help pups being injured during the competition. 'Great, you always have to load a lot more than you think you can handle. What is it with me and my devotion to help people?' I asked myself when suddenly I ran into a person standing right in front of me. "Sorry, didn't watch where I was going. Are you o..." Looking up I noticed a certain well-known figure. "Mayor Humdinger? What are you doing here? I can't remember you having a dog." "Well, you see … I don't. But I had to come to … well … watch the show and everything. So, no ulterior motive you see?" 'Uh-huh. Mayor Humdinger and no ulterior motive? Sure and I'm the new pup of the princess of Barkingburg.' That's what I thought. What I did say was: "That's great. Have a nice time around." 'The load I have to carry just got bigger. Now there is Mayor Humdinger here, too. He sure is up to something. That's for sure!'
Rocky's POV (6 days):
"See you later, sis." He still could do it. He could stell make her laugh. Rocky always knew if he could make her laugh the day will be good. So he had high hopes for that day. 'So, now I've got to find Sweetie to remind her of the talk she promised to have with my sister. Sure, she might get a bit annoyed for repeating it over and over but it's only for her own good.' At that moment he noticed a pup with white fur. Hoping it would be Sweetie he ran over to where he saw that pup. But it wasn't her. It was someone else, still a white West Highland Terrier but not Sweetie. But that was not what disturbed Rocky. That pup talked to someone who was strangely familiar. Someone they encountered in very rare occasions. Always requiring their mighty powers granted by a meteor. "Ladybird?" He couldn't stay quiet. The shock to see her of all people at that dog show took him by surprise.
"Well, see what the cat dragged in. If that's not one of the Paw Patrol I'll eat my hat. Catch him." With that the white pup leaped forward and pinned Rocky down to the floor. 'Dang it. I need to try getting notice to Ryder. Stay still so they hopefully won't notice your collar. Then you can inform Ryder later on when they're not watching.' And that's what he did. Unfortunately it didn't work either for that white pup watched Marshall speaking to Ryder earlier. So they took his collar and put him into a storage room noone used. 'Great. And here I thought the day would turn out good. Now I'm stuck, I can't inform Ryder and worst of all I won't be there when Sweetie's going to perform. Could that day getting even worse?' That he shouldn't have asked. Not even only in thought for the universe got something up its sleeve. And that's when things turned from bad to worse.
A/N: What will happen next? With Ladybird around it's now sure that Sweetie now will get the power you guys voted for. Next chapter won't be late this time I promise. So, as usual, stay tuned.
