The day was just as any other day in Adventure Bay,sunny and not a thing to worry about,not for a while at least.

The pups were enjoying their day so far,all except for Chase who was sitting underneath the shade of a tree. Chase was like this when he needed to be alone.

"I never got to say thanks for what you did." Chase sighed to himself.

Chase laid down on the grass and began to drift off to sleep.

————

The pups were playing together when Marshall noticed his friend sleeping underneath a tree.

"Hey Marshall are you ok?" Rocky asked with some concern.

"Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine,I'm just worried about Chase." Marshall admitted.

"Worried? Why?" Rocky said approaching the dalmatian.

"I don't know,he's just been sitting there underneath the tree for a while,he's asleep now but I'm just worried about him." Marshall replied.

"Should we ask Ryder?" Zuma suggested.

"No,I think we should just forget about it,you know how Chase is when someone is in his business." Marshall stated

"I guess you're right but we should check up on him when he wakes up." Rocky added

The pups agreed and went back to playing.

————

"Chase,come on we'll lose them in the woods." The pup said.

The two stopped to catch their breath.

"They ran into the woods!" A pup yelled out in the distance.

"Dammit,Chase come on,hide behind these rocks." The pup advised.

"What're we going to do?" Chase asked.

"We have to shake these guys off us then we find a way out." The pup instructed.

The pup soon shut himself up after hearing footsteps coming closer to them.

"Did you hear something?" One of the pups asked as he looked around.

"Yeah,check over there,I'll check over here." The pup walked over to where Chase and the pup were.

The pup slowly walked over to where the two were and was pounced by Chase.

"They're over here!" The pup yelled out struggling against Chase.

The other pup came by and was pounced by the pup who was with Chase,he quickly killed him and saw Chase who was now struggling against the pup. The pup got him off Chase and killed him but not before getting bitten by him.

"Where do we go now?" Chase said looking around.

"I don't know,let's just go!" The pup said running with Chase.

The two had several pups right on their trail,they kept running until the pup fell down. Chase stopped to check on him.

"No,just go! Forget about me,get out of here!" The pup ordered.

"I'm not going to leave you!" Chase said.

The pup looked back and saw the others getting closer to them.

"Chase,here take this,it's the pendant I stole from them. Take it and go!" The pup said attaching the pendant to Chase's collar.

The pup was surrounded and was approached by a man.

"You did all that,caused all that trouble,you betrayed us Isaac,and for what? Where is the pup and the pendant?" The man said.

"They're both gone,I dropped the pendant running from you and the pup is long gone." Isaac laughed.

The man soon pulled out a gun and put it towards Isaac's head.

"Where. Is. The. Pup." The man threatened.

————

Chase ran as fast he could,looking back to see if anyone was chasing him,he soon fell into a river stream and struggling to keep afloat.

While Chase was struggling to catch air,the current brought him slamming into a rock,knocking him out unconscious.

————

Chase woke up panting and looked around frantically. He soon realized that he just had a nightmare and calmed down. He rubbed his eyes and went down to the Lookout.

The pups saw Chase walk into the Lookout and went to go check up on him.

They walked in and saw Chase drinking water from his bowl.

"Hey Chase,we noticed that you were sitting alone earlier,is everything alright? You've been asleep for a while." Marshall asked in a concerned tone.

"Everything's fine Marshall,you and the pups don't need to worry about me." Chase assured.

"But we do worry,you've been like this since this morning." Marshall stated.

"Look,I just need some time alone,that's all,now for the love of pup just leave me alone." Chase said leaving the Lookout.

"Yeah,he's right,we should just leave him alone until he's comfortable to talk to us." Rocky advised.

————

Chase was inside his pup house examining the pendant that Isaac gave him that night.

The pendant had a black and silver finish to it with a wolf engraved on it,Chase,to this day,had no idea what the point of the pendant was and he hoped that he never had to find out,if stealing a pendant caused that much trouble,he didn't want nothing more to do with it. But for some odd reason Chase never got rid of it,every time he thought about getting rid of it he always changed his mind afterwards.

Chase snapped out of his thoughts after hearing a knock on his door. Chase sighed.

"Marshall I don't want to talk right now." Chase said in a annoyed tone.

Chase didn't hear a response but the knocking continued. Chase sighed with a bit of anger and opened the door.

"What do you-!" Chase cut himself off after noticing he was yelling at nothing.

Chase was confused as to what happened,he was sure that someone was knocking on his door.

"Those pups better not be messing with me again." Chase said to himself.

He walked inside the Lookout and saw the pups playing Pup Pup Boogie,Marshall and Zuma were 1 on 1 while the others were spectating.

"Oh hey Chase you want to play some Pup Pup Boogie with us?" Skye asked.

"Uh...yeah I just need to ask you pups something." Chase said.

"Sure,what is it?" Marshall said pausing the game.

"Did any of you come over to my pup house and knock,like a lot?" Chase asked.

The pups looked at each other in confusion.

"What? No,Chase we've been in here the whole time,we left you alone because you wanted us to." Marshall said.

Chase forgot that he told the pups to leave him alone and felt bad for it.

"Yeah,sorry about that,but if none of you were knocking at my door,then who was it?" Chase asked.

"What if it's a ghost?" Zuma jokingly added.

"Oh come on Zuma." Rocky said laughing.

"Don't be silly." Chase said with a chuckle.

"Maybe it was just your imagination?" Rubble theorized.

"Hmm,maybe your right,I just have to get my mind off it. Alright well go on! I want to see who wins this game." Chase affirmed.

Marshall unpaused the game and went back to playing against Zuma.

Marshall and Zuma's match lasted a while but once they were finished,it was Rocky and Skye.

"Alright come on you two." Marshall said gesturing them to come forward.

"Actually,hold on,Chase would you like to take my place?" Rocky asked.

"Huh? Oh no I'm good." Chase said.

"Oh no I insist,come on." Rocky said with a smile.

Chase knew what Rocky was trying to do,he didn't want to but he did it anyway.

"Ok fine." Chase sighed.

Chase went up to the pad next to Skye and the game started.

"Ah jeez,it's been a while since I played this." Chase stated.

"It's ok Chase it'll all come back to you when you start remembering the movement." Skye assured the German Shepherd.

Chase slowly began to remember how to play the game and soon after it became an very close and intense game with him and Skye.

"Wow,I forgot how good Chase was at this game." Rocky whispered to Zuma.

"I know,Skye's got some more competition." Zuma said.

"She had competition before?" Rocky asked.

"Yeah I was." Zuma said.

"Hmm,I didn't notice,sorry." Rocky said with a sly smile.

"Oh! That's how you're going to be? Alright you're on then!" Zuma said with a smile also.

"Tailspin!" Marshall yelled out.

"Uh oh."

"This can't be good."

Chase and Skye prepared to do the tailspin and whoever lands it perfectly wins the game,the two spun around but Chase easily spun out of control and ran right into Skye,sending them across the room.

"Ahh,ok is there a way for us to stop doing the tailspin?" Chase getting up wincing at the pain. "Skye,are you ok?"

"Ow,yeah definitely need to stop doing the tailspin,I'm fine." Skye said getting up also.

"Well,that was fun,I'm going to my pup house." Chase said.

"Oh it's getting late,yeah we should call it a day and head to sleep." Marshall said.

As the pups walked outside the Lookout,Chase noticed something at the tree he was at earlier,he stared at it for a while before Skye noticed him.

"Chase?" Skye called out.

"Wha? Oh sorry Skye,what is it?" Chase asked.

"You were looking over at that tree like you saw something,did you?" Skye questioned.

"No...no it was probably just something I imagined,come on let's go to sleep." Chase figured.

With that all the pups went to their pup houses and fell asleep,Chase on the other hand didn't and decided to check for himself,what was it that he saw at that tree.

Chase made it to the tree and didn't see anything so he just concluded that it was just his mind playing tricks on him until he heard someone speak to him.

"This is a nice spot isn't it Chase?"

Chase turned around in surprise and immediately went into a defensive position but stopped after looking at the mysterious pup.

"What the? Do I,do I know you?" Chase asked.

"I hope so,I seem to know you." The pup said. The pup was dressed in a formal way,nice suit along with a tie and a top hat.

"I'm pretty good at remembering faces." Chase stated.

"Is that so? Do you remember Diaz?" The pup asked.

"No,I don't think so?" Chase replied.

The mysterious pup sighed.

"He was a mongrel that seemed to have a liking to you,he was like a brother to you,until he was shot and left for dead,same as you I suppose." The pup said.

"No,not really." Chase said.

"Then why would you remember me? Have you forgotten far more important people than me?" The pup asked in a slightly monotone voice.

"What's your reason for being here?" Chase asked.

"Oh no reason,no reason at all,other than to tell you about something but that'll be another day,see you around officer." The pup said leaving.

The pup was gone and Chase headed back to his pup house and fell asleep,thinking about what the pup told him.
