PAW Patrol: Sweetie's Song-quest: The More Songtacular Stuff Edition!
One sunny morning, at the Lookout, Skye was sleeping comfily in her helicopter pup house, when suddenly, she woke up. Then, she remembered something: today it was her birthday! Skye was so excited, that she ran around the pups' playground while singing a wonderful song. Little did she know that Chase, Marshall, Rubble, Zuma and Rocky had already awoken and heard all of her singing! When she turned around, she saw all of them, staring at her open-mouthed.
"That was..." Chase said.
"Pawsome!" Rubble said.
"What, my singing?" Skye said, then blushed. "Heheh, it's not that great…"
"Are you kidding?" Zuma said. "It's such a beautiful thing!"
"Morning, pups!" Ryder said, walking out of the Lookout.
"Good morning, Ryder, sir!" Chase answered.
"And Happy Birthday, Skye!" Ryder said.
"Happy Birthday!" the pups said.
"Thanks, guys." Skye said.
"Ryder, you should have heard Skye singing!" Marshall commented.
"Skye was singing?" Ryder asked.
"And she did it great!" Rocky said "I was dreaming with cleaning up the largest patio in the world, when suddenly, I heard someone singing. I woke up, and it was Skye! Waking up from that dream sure was worth it!"
"Skye, perhaps you should sing for us at your party!" Chase said.
"If you want, I can give you some musical accompaniment!" Rubble said. "DJ Rubble on the double!"
Skye blushed.
"Hmmm... I'll think about it." she said.
"Fine! Now, let's prepare everything for the party." Ryder said. "Rocky, Zuma, you will be in charge of the decoration."
"Green means go!" Rocky said.
"Let's dive in!" Zuma said.
"Rubble, help place the tables and chairs, and build the stage."
"Rubble on the double!"
"Chase, Marshall, Skye, go deliver the invitations to everyone!"
"I'm fired up!" Marshall said.
"This pup's gotta fly!" Skye said.
"Who will come to the party, Ryder?" Chase asked.
"All of our beloved friends!" Ryder said. "Mayor Goodway, Chickaletta, Katie, Alex, Mr. Porter, Captain Turbot, Jake, Everest, Carlos, Tracker, Rex, Tuck, Ella, Wild, Leo, Rory, Shade, Al, Coral and even some of our friends from Adventure City, like Liberty and Delores!"
"Liberty will come!?" Chase asked, amazed.
Then, all of the pups shouted:
"Yay!"
"Yeah!" Ryder said. "She and other pups shouldn't be long in coming. Until then, come on, everybody! Let's get this party ready!"
Zuma and Rocky headed to prepare the balloons, ribbons, confetti and party hats. Rubble placed the tables and chairs. Chase, Skye and Marshall headed to give everyone in Adventure Bay an invitation for Skye's Birthday party!
"Oh, Chase! By the way, please ask Mr. Porter if he can bake a birthday cake!"
"Chase is on the case!"
After a while, everything was set for the celebration to begin. The tables were decorated with multicolored ribbons and balloons. There was a stage in which a special show would take place. Rubble would be in charge of the music with his DJ equipment. Then, Marshall, Chase and Skye arrived after delivering the invitations.
"Nice work, everyone!" Chase said upon seeing the decorations.
"Hey, guys!" Zuma said. "I have some balloons left over. What do you want me to do with them?"
"I have an idea!" Skye said. "How about if Marshall fills them with water so we can play to throw them at each other during the party?"
"Great idea, birthday girl!" Marshall said. "Arf! Water cannons!"
With the help of Zuma, Marshall filled enough water balloons for everyone to play. Rocky was frightened!
"Yikes! I'm sorry, but I'm not playing that game."
Just then, all of the guests began to arrive! Mr. Porter and Alex arrived carrying some pizzas and a birthday cake. Mayor Goodway arrived with a gift in one hand, and in the other, her handbag with Chickaletta, who was carrying a gift in her beak. Captain Turbot, Katie, Jake, Everest, Carlos, Tracker, Rex, Tuck, Ella, Al, and the Cat Pack also showed up, with more gifts! Finally, Liberty arrived in her scooter!
"Liberty!" all of the pups said.
They greeted her with a big hug.
"It's so nice to see you again!" Skye said. "How's everything going in Adventure City?"
"Lovely!" Liberty said. "Now that Mayor Humdinger is no longer Adventure City's mayor, the city has become more peaceful than ever!"
"Glad to hear that!" Chase said. "Hey, why hasn't Delores come yet?"
"Ah, she said she would get a boat to bring all of our dog friends from Adventure City. She should arrive sooner or later."
The party began. Everyone danced, ate cake and pizza, and most of all, had fun. Finally, it was time for Skye to open her presents! She loved every single gift her friends gave her. Besides, Rex had organized a parade of dinosaur allegorical cars. Then, Wild and the Cat Pack put up a show doing stunts in the Globe of Steel! All that stuff just for Skye! She and the guests clapped. Finally, Chase made a special announce with his megaphone.
"Ruff! Attention, everyone!"
Everyone turned to look at him.
"To end this special day, I have a very special event for you! Our birthday girl, Skye, will come on stage and sing a song for us!"
All the guests cheered.
"Come here, Skye! We all want to her you sing!" Chase said.
Skye got on stage and began singing the lovely song she had sang that morning. The audience was amazed. Skye had such a beautiful voice. When she finished, the audience cheered and clapped. Skye blushed.
Suddenly, Ryder received a call through his pup pad. It was the Princess of Barkingburg!
"Hi, Ryder." The Princess said.
"Princess of Barkingburg! What's your emergency?" Ryder asked.
"It's Sweetie! She's escaped again! The Earl of Barkingburg saw her as she was going away!"
"Yes!" the Earl said. "She escaped in a jet carrying some weird stuff such as loudspeakers, stage lights, and a mysterious microphone!"
"All that?" Ryder asked. "There's no doubt Sweetie is up to something… again!"
"Yes, and she was heading toward some island!"
"Don't worry, Princess and Earl! No plan's too mysterious, no pup's too small!"
Ryder used his pup pad to call the pups.
"Pups, to the Air Patroller!"
"Ryder needs us!" all the pups said.
"All right, friends. The party is over. We've got work to do. Thank you all for coming!" Ryder told the guests.
Chase, Skye, Rubble, Rocky, Zuma, Everest and Liberty headed to the Lookout. Marshall, who was eating a slice of cake, said:
"Wait for me!"
However, as he was running with his cake dish in his mouth, he tripped and rolled toward his friends, who were already in the elevator.
"Wooooaah!"
"Marshall, look out!" the pups said.
CRASH! Marshall landed on top of his friends. Then, his cake slice fell on his head!
"You know, tripping on my way here is always a piece of cake." Marshall joked.
All pups laughed as the Air Patroller's door closed. Once they had their suits on, they formed in front of Ryder.
"Paw Patrol, ready for action, Ryder, sir!" Chase said.
"Good to see you here, pups. Looks like Sweetie is on the loose again, and this time, according to the Earl of Barkingburg, she took some stuff, such as loudspeakers, stage lights and a mysterious microphone!"
"Oh, no!" Zuma said.
"What could she be up to?" Skye asked.
"We'll find out, pups." Ryder said. "The Earl of Barkingburg said Sweetie headed to an island. It shouldn't be far from here, so that's why we're in the Air Patroller. For this mission I'm gonna need… Skye! Go on your helicopter and find that island."
"This pup's gotta fly!"
"Oh, oh, can I go with Skye, too? Pleeeaaase?" Liberty asked. "I'm a furry GPS after all, remember?"
"Heheh. All right, Liberty. You can lead this mission. And we will follow you in the Air Patroller. This could be a perfect chance for you to use your new aerial vehicle for the first time!"
"Gasp! I have an aerial vehicle? Oh my goodness, this is off the leash!"
"Yeah, Liberty! Now try it out! Paw Patrol is on a roll!"
While the other pups were barking and howling, Skye and Liberty ran up to their aerial vehicles. When they hopped in, their names were shouted out, and their ships were deployed. It was such an amazing experience for Liberty to fly for the first time!
"Woohoo!" Liberty said. "I can't believe I'm actually flying! Ok, Skye, let's go to find that Sweetie."
"Copy that!"
"Liberty!" someone called.
"Huh?"
Skye and Liberty looked down and saw Delores, Barney, and Harris on a boat!
"Delores, friends! Were you coming to the party?" Skye asked them.
"We sure aaaare!" Delores said, in a sing-song way.
"It's gonna be such a blast, blast, blaaaast!" Harris said, also in a sing-song way.
"Um, guys? Are you singing?" Liberty asked them. "And why are your pupils so little?"
"You should sing with us, too!" Barney said.
"Sorry, guys. I'm busy right now, I have to find this pup named Sweetie."
"We know where she is!"
"Really? Can you show me the way!"
"Sure doooo!" Delores sang.
"Just follow the leader, leader, leader!" Harris sang, too.
The boat Delores, Harris and Barney were in headed toward an island.
"Hey, wait for me!" Liberty said, following them in her aerial vehicle.
Skye stayed behind and spoke to Ryder through her pup tag.
"Ryder, I and Liberty found Delores, Harris and Barney! They say they know where Sweetie is!"
"Great job, Skye!" Ryder said. "Follow that boat. We're right behind you."
Skye followed Liberty, Delores, Barney and Harris in her aerial vehicle to the island, while Ryder and the rest of the pups followed them in the Air Patroller. Surprisingly, all dogs Chase had met at Fuzzy Buddies Obedience School were there. They appeared to be cheering at a stage found there. The Air Patroller landed, and Ryder, Chase, Marshall, Rubble, Rocky, Zuma and Everest came out of it, and reunited with Skye and LIberty. When they saw all dogs cheering, they were confused.
"Wow." Chase said. "They're our friends from Adventure City, but who are they cheering at?"
"It's just the best singer in the whole world! Miss Sweetie, that is!" Rocket said, appearing out of nowhere.
Like Delores, Barney and Harris, Rocket's pupils were smaller than normal.
"Sweetie!?" all pups said at the same time.
"Yes! She has such a beautiful voice that will leave you charmed! Oh, listen! She's about to start! Shh, shh!"
Then, on stage came Sweetie, carrying the mysterious microphone the Earl of Barkingburg had mentioned.
"There it is! The microphone!" Zuma said.
"What, is she going to sing for all dogs? That's her plan?" Everest asked.
"Hello, my loyal guests!" Sweetie said. "Oh, it seems Paw Patrol are here, too! Welcome, Paw Patrol! Don't worry, there's nothing suspicious here. Now, I suggest you take your seats, get comfortable and enjoy the show!"
Then, she began to sing a funky, upbeat song for all dogs in the crowd, who began to sing and dance along. Suddenly, something strange happened. Liberty began singing, too! Then Chase, then Rubble, then Everest, then Marshall, then Rocky, then Zuma! Just like every dog in the crowd, their pupils shrunk. Before Skye could get charmed by the music, she told Ryder:
"Ryder, everyone appears to be getting hypnotized!"
"You're right, Skye!"
Quickly, Ryder headed back into the Air Patroller, and came out with some earplugs. He hurried to place them in the ears of the pups. This way, they managed to break out of the trance, and their eyes returned to normal. Then, Ryder and the pups rushed into the Air Patroller to get away from Sweetie's singing.
"What happened back there?" Chase asked. "Were we singing?"
"And dancing?" Marshall asked.
"Yes." Ryder said. "I think now I know what Sweetie's mysterious microphone does! It appears to modify her voice into a beautiful one, which has hypnotic properties! All of our friends from Adventure City have been hypnotized already, and the same almost happens to you, too!"
"Well, at least we're all safe here, right?" Rubble asked.
"Let's find out, Rubble." Ryder said. "Pups, roll call! Chase?"
"Present, Ryder, sir!"
"Skye?"
"Present!"
"Rubble?"
"Present!"
"Marshall?"
"Present!"
"Rocky?"
"Present!"
"Zuma?"
"Present!"
"Everest?"
"Present!"
"Liberty?"
But none answered. The pups realized Liberty was nowhere to be found!
"Oh no! Where did Liberty go?" Chase asked.
"She stayed at the show!" Everest said.
"Ryder, I think Liberty danced away from us while you headed to put the earplugs on us!" Skye said.
"We must save her from Sweetie! But how?" Ryder asked.
"Ryder, Sweetie's microphone appears to work only on dogs!" Rocky said. "Since you're a human, it didn't affect you!"
"You're right, Rocky!"
"Perhaps Ryder can go to where Sweetie and the other dogs are without being noticed, and convince Liberty to come back to us!" Zuma said.
"Great idea! Pups, I'll go get Liberty. Stay here."
Leaving the pups, Ryder sneaked between the bushes, not to be spotted by Sweetie's hypnotized doggy companions. He saw Liberty among the crowd and called her quietly:
"Psst! Liberty, come here!"
"Ryder?" Liberty said.
Dancing and wagging her tail happily, Liberty headed toward Ryder.
"Scooby-dooby-doo, how are youuuu?" she said to him, in a sing-song way.
"I'm not Scooby Doo…" Ryder said. "But that's not the point. Remember our mission? We had to find out what Sweetie was up to! Apparently, she's trying to use her voice to hypnotize all dogs from Adventure City and become their queen! So you need to snap out of it and help us stop Sweetie! We don't want you to be part of her plan!"
"Nonsense!" Liberty said. "Sweetie is the kindest dog I've ever met, and her music makes me move like a fre-e-eak!"
As she said this, Liberty danced away from Ryder and rejoined the singing crowd of dogs. Ryder had no choice but to return to the pups.
"Liberty has been completely hypnotized!" Ryder told them. "She's no longer aware of what she's saying, and is now loyal to Sweetie!"
"Oh no!" Marshall said.
"What should we do now, Ryder?" Rubble asked.
"We'll have to try and rescue her while Sweetie's not singing nearby. So I'm gonna need… Rubble! Use your mini-miner to dig a tunnel from here to where Liberty is."
"Rubble on the double!"
"Marshall, go to Liberty and convince her to follow both of you through the tunnel. Tell her that we'll be throwing a musical party on the other end. Oh, and don't forget to sing so that she believes you."
"I'm ready for a ruff ruff rescue!"
Then, Marshall and Rubble put the plan in motion. While Rubble was digging a tunnel, Marshall went to where Liberty was on his firetruck. Fortunately, Sweetie wasn't there.
"Hiya, Marshall!" Liberty said.
"Hey there, Liberty! Come and follow us
Through this tunnel, you don't need a bus
On the other end, a party we'll throw
Where music plays out loud and waterfalls flow." Marshall sang, while spraying water from his water cannons.
"Ooh, a party? I'd love to join in!
From dusk till' dawn, together we'll sing!" Liberty replied in-song.
Just then, Rubble came out of the ground in his mini-miner, finishing the tunnel. However, Rocket unexpectedly came out of the tunnel!
"Ooh, did I hear party?" he said. "Everyone, our friends are going to throw a party!"
The other hypnotized dogs showed up, and so did Sweetie!
"Well, it ain't a party without Queen Sweetie!" she said.
Sweetie began singing with her microphone, attracting all of her fellow dogs, including Liberty. Suddenly, Rubble began to be hypnotized! Quickly, Marshall covered his ears with his helmet and put his paws over Rubble's ears. Rubble snapped out of it as Marshall took him away from Sweetie. When they returned to Ryder and the other pups, they told them about their failed plan.
"Never mind, pups." Ryder said. "I have another plan. Chase, at nighttime, go with your spy gear and try to save Liberty using your zip line."
"Super Spy Chase is on the case!"
"Rocky, sneak up on Liberty and play some relaxing music so that she stays sound asleep, literally, and Chase rescues her."
"Good thing I brought a boombox!" Rocky said. "Don't lose it, reuse it!"
That night, while Liberty was sleeping in the outdoors with the other dogs, Rocky sneaked up on her, placed his boombox on the floor and played a calm, soothing song on it to keep her asleep. Then, he ran to hide. Meanwhile, Chase launched his zip line from one tree to another and flew in it with his paws open, ready to catch Liberty. However, Barney suddenly got up to stretch and yawn. Screaming, Chase bumped into him and fell from the zip line. What was worse, Liberty woke up, and so did the rest of the dogs.
"Hey, everybody! Look it's our friends!" Barney said.
Chase and Rocky were cornered! Then, Sweetie showed up and said:
"What's the matter, my subjects? Did you lose your sleep? How about if we dance a little so you can sleep again?"
Sweetie started singing with her microphone, to which all hypnotized dogs started dancing! Then, Rocky started to be hypnotized! Quickly, Chase put some earplugs on his ears and, covering Rocky's ears, freed him from the trance and took him away from there. Next morning, Ryder came up with another plan.
"Zuma, Everest, go through the river in your scuba suits and see if you can find Liberty nearby. When you find her, tell Liberty singing that we'll have a pool party."
"Ready, set, get wet!" Zuma said.
Thus, Everest and Zuma went through the river in their scuba suits, trying to find Liberty. However, Coral and some mer-pups, who were also hypnotized by Sweetie, showed up in front of them! Their singing called the attention of Sweetie, who arrived in her new submarine! Singing through her microphone, she somehow managed to transmit her singing through Everest's helmet, hypnotizing her! Unlike the other pups, Zuma had no way to cover her ears in her scuba suit, so Everest swam away from him, following Sweetie, Coral and the other hypnotized mer-pups. Now without Everest, Zuma retreated quickly, before he was hypnotized, too. Then, he returned to Ryder and his friends and told them the bad news.
"Oh no!" Rocky said. "I can't believe we lost Everest, too!"
"Do you have another plan, Ryder?" Chase asked him.
"Not yet, Chase. We must come up with something."
"In the meantime, why don't we eat something?" Rubble asked. "Food fuels up your brain!"
"You know what? I agree!" Marshall said. "How about some peanut butter sandwiches?"
"I don't know." Rubble said. "Peanut butter is delicious, but it sticks in your tongue and teeth, and you can't help but lick your lips repeatedly. It leaves you unable to talk for a while."
"Wait, what did you say?" Skye asked him.
"I said peanut butter sticks in your tongue and teeth, leaving you unable to talk."
"That's it!" Skye said. "If Sweetie eats peanut butter she won't be able to talk, nor sing! Ryder, I have an idea."
Later, Chase, Marshall and Rubble were sent to Sweetie's stage. There, they found her.
"Hello, Paw Patrol!" Sweetie said. "Have you come to get your friends back? Well, I'm afraid they are very comfortable here, so they won't be leaving anytime soon."
"Hey, Sweetie! Don't be alarmed that we're back!" Chase sang.
"We just came to give you a tasty snack!" Rubble sang.
"Really? A snack for me?" Sweetie said. "I'm quite surprised! Seems like my singing has finally charmed you."
"So go ahead and take a bite
Out this sandwich, such a delight!" Marshall sang.
"Why, thank you!" Sweetie said.
She grabbed the peanut butter sandwich and took a BIG bite of it. Then, she couldn't stop chewing and licking her lips!
"Wow! (lick) It's so (lick) delicious! But (lick) I can't (lick) stop (lick) licking (lick) my lips!"
"That's because it's actually a peanut butter sandwich!" Chase said.
"What!? (lick)"
"That's right!" Rubble said. "And if you can't stop licking your lips, you won't be able to sing!"
"Hence, you won't be able to control our friends anymore!" Marshall said.
"Bark! Everyone, please follow us!" Chase called.
"Yeah! We're going to throw a party to celebrate you're all back!" Marshall said.
Fascinated by the word "party", Liberty, Everest, Delores and all of their friends from Adventure City followed the three pups. During the escapade, Chase took the opportunity to snatch Sweetie's microphone while she wasn't holding it.
"No (lick), wait!" Sweetie cried. "Don't (lick) leave (lick) me, my subjects (lick)! This (lick) isn't (lick) over, Paw Patrol! (lick)"
Chase, Marshall and Rubble boarded Delores's boat, and so did the dogs from Adventure City.
"Arf! They're all in, Ryder!" Chase said.
"Good pups!" Ryder said.
Ryder and the other pups boarded the Air Patroller and headed back to Adventure Bay, while the boat, driven by Chase, followed them. And so, the Paw Patrol saved their friends from Sweetie's mind control… or did they?
