Disclaimer: So... this is where things involving Skye's and Coral's arcs are going to start becoming more clear. I really hope I end up doing a good job with both of them, because as always, I really want this season, and the character arcs surrounding it, to be good. Let's hope this chapter at least advances them in a well written way.

Also, I don't own Paw Patrol.

Paw Patrol X

Land and Sea arc Episode six: Tour For a Mer-Pup

Two weeks after Skye and Coral scheduled their hang out date, they were walking through the Lookout with Coral having a concerned look as she read the latest text on her phone. The text was from Eveline, and it said 'Get this right Coral. Your home depends on your success.'. She sighed, and when Skye saw her expression, she got concerned. "What's wrong Coral?"

Coral flinched and tried to come up with something that could avoid revealing the plan to Skye. "Oh; um... nothing. Just, kind of crazy to be on land again. Especially after what I did as soon as I arrived."

"Coral, I already told you, it's fine." Skye assured Coral, and then they walked over to where Snow and Everest were, which was outside of F.M. and Marshall's door. "I face a lot worse than that every day. Case in point..."

Snow and Everest saw Skye and Coral coming over to them with Snow being the first to greet Skye. "Hey Skye. Hey Coral. How was the flight?"

"It went pretty well, thanks." Coral answered, despite knowing that she didn't smell the best. "I could definitely use a shower though."

Everest giggled.a bit before pointing out something she felt Coral should know about. "You wanna know bad smells? Get a look at this." Coral looked into the peephole of F.M. and Marshall's room after Everest gestured her to it. When she looked inside, F.M. and Marshall were reaching the end of their sleep farting, with Marshall even having his butt pointed up into the air...

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHT
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT

...Once the farting was done, F.M. and Marshall woke up with F.M. seeing the timer that was on her bed. After it went off, the fan in the ceiling started clearing out all of the fart odor as F.M. looked down to Marshall. "Six hours. You?"

Marshall woke up on time for once, and he looked at his timer to find that his own fart time surpassed F.M.'s. "Six and a half."

Snow was relieved that those two were finally done, allowing Skye to open the door and get their attention. "Morning F.M.! Morning Marshall!"

"Morning Skye!" F.M. and Marshall said in sync, and F.M. kissed Snow's cheek after running over to her, fist bumped Everest, and then addressed Coral before heading off to the bathroom. "I'll be ready for the tour after I shower!"

Marshall started walking towards the door when suddenly... "Don't worry Eve. I'll be ready for-"

PHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHT

...Marshall accidentally let out a loud and bassy ten second fart, making his butt vibrate as the green cloud of moldy cheese stopped him in his tracks. He looked back at his butt, which was pointed out was he chuckled during four chain farts...

PFFT BRUP BRAT BLARP

...Marshall then looked to the girls, signaling them to close the door, which Everest did as Marshall looked back at his butt. It was shown as he wiggled it, grunting as he let out another fart that covered up the screen with a green cloud of moldy cheese...

PHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...

After F.M. and Marshall's showers, Claw was talking to Snow, Chase, Zuma, and Everest about how he felt his chances with Coral were. "I don't see why I can't at least score a first date with Coral. I mean, I'm strong, handsome, protective, and a real charmer."

Snow just couldn't resist the urge for sarcasm in that moment. "Not so sure about that last one dude."

Claw rolled his eyes before Zuma stepped over to him with some words of encouragement. "You got this dude. She alweady likes you for who you are. Now you just gotta hope you can find a moment to go in for the kill."

Claw took note of that with Coral asking out of curiosity from behind. "The kill for what exactly?"

Claw flinched and looked back to find Coral walking over to him with F.M., Marshall, Skye, Snow, and Everest. He turned around as he nervously tried to hide his intentions. "Oh; um... just how excited I am to get to know you better." Claw then saw Rocky and Charm walking over to them, and his mood instantly dropped. "And not just because I don't have to play basketball with him."

"Don't worry Claw. The feeling's mutual." Charm assured Claw, walking off to avoid letting his anger rise with Rocky following him.

"This is gonna be fun Charm. We can even be on the same team." Rocky offered, and Charm did take a liking to that. Coral watched Charm walk off with Rocky, which made her think about her mission. She figured she could at least go through with her time with Skye before she went through with it. After all, Eveline didn't say WHEN she had to do it as long as she got it done.

F.M. decided to keep the tension from getting too low by calling her truck over at that moment. After it arrived, she took Snow's paws and gave her some advice on how to deal with Charm. "Remember Snowflake. Charm needs to be given a place where he feels he can grow if he's going to change. That includes sports that took a lot of convincing on mine and Rocky's part for you two to agree with."

Snow snickered a bit as she remembered that bit. "Don't worry F.M.. I can stand Charm for one morning."

F.M. kissed Snow's cheek lovingly before looking to Everest next. "Thanks for letting him join Everest. I know it's not exactly ideal for you."

"Just remember that if he hurts any of us too badly, he's out." Everest reminded F.M., showing a refusal to let anyone get too badly hurt. F.M. gave a thumbs up to show that she understood that.

F.M. was driving around with Skye, Claw, and Coral, the latter two of whom started talking once Claw started leaning on his seat and looking in the back. It was pretty clear that his flirting skills were... not the best. "So. Have you ever thought about getting wet in more ways than one?"

Coral was a little weirded out by that question, not really understanding what Claw meant by it. "Noooo. I don't think so." Claw then realized how stupid that sounded with Coral wondering why he asked it. "Why do you ask?"

"Oh, no reason. Just, curious." Claw replied, sitting back into his seat with Skye and Coral giggling at his flirting attempt.

Claw sighed in despondence as F.M. whispered him a tip on how to impress Coral. "Claw. Try telling her something about yourself later." Claw took a mental note of that with F.M. assuring Coral of one more thing before they continued the tour. "Coral, I know I should've said this at the Lookout, but the treatment some of the Mer-Pups gave me won't have any affect on how I act during this tour."

Coral was relieved to hear that. She didn't want to make Skye's friends uncomfortable. "That's a relief. Just know that I don't support that, and never did." Coral then showed remorse regarding the way the Mer-Pups treated F.M.. "I just... don't know how to stop it."

F.M. got an idea after thinking for a few moments, feeling it could be a good thing to try later on. "Maybe we can have a seminar or something here in Adventure Bay to help them learn about Trans people! At least some of the Mer-Pups should be interested."

"That's a good idea." Coral replied, but not without reminding F.M. of the possible setbacks. "Although, I don't think it'll be an easy in and out mission."

"I'll plan everything out as soon as I can." F.M. assured Coral, and then they arrived at Mr. Porter's diner with F.M. having an idea in mind. Normally, she'd cook a full course meal for a new friend. But that would defeat the purpose of showing Coral around Adventure Bay. "First stop, Mr. Porter's diner!"

F.M. found a good place to park with Skye assuring Coral that she'd love the food here. "The food here is great Coral. I especially recommend their blueberry pancakes."

"That sounds delicious! I haven't had pancakes in so long." Coral gushed, loving the sound of pancakes with a cheerful smile to back it up.

F.M. and the others hopped out of the truck with Skye recalling a past memory from when they were both five. "Remember when we made that big mess in the kitchen, back when my parents still owned that farm?"

Coral laughed at that memory, and also how she looked afterwards. "That was so chaotic. Last time we trust five year olds with breakfast, period!"

F.M. gently nudged Claw in reference to that, making Claw smile at the fact that Coral could have clumsy moments, just like him. Skye was quick to back up what she had to say. "And to think my first year in the Paw Patrol was barely over then."

Everest was explaining the rules of basketball to Charm as they headed to the park's basketball court with Marshall, Snow, Chase, Zuma, and Rocky. "And you also can't tackle anyone like football. You can wrestle them for the ball, but only when pulling it away with your hands. And you can't try to cause an injury."

"Already had that last one written down." Charm assured Everest, despite being a little concerned about his chances. His self doubt over the lack of a real childhood also started to affect him. "I've never played a real sport before. I just hope I'm good at it."

Everest had to admit that she felt bad for Charm after hearing that. Still, she didn't feel safe letting her guard down around him. "This could be a good first time for you. But just as a reminder, I only agreed to this because F.M. and Rocky vouched for you."

"Got it." Charm assured Everest, already knowing that was the case. "I was actually surprised to hear this game was your idea. Girls never really strike me as the sporty type upon first glance."

Everest did take offense to Charm's comment, but bit her tongue, knowing it came from ignorance. "Riiiiight."

Charm did pick up however and tried to correct himself. "Sorry, I meant... most of the Canines I knew were male, so..."

"It was a dumb thing to say. let's just leave it at that." Charm nodded in agreement, not wanting to cause any trouble. The other pups were at the court already with Everest lining them all up for the game. "Alright everyone! It's time to lay out our teams!" All the pups listened closely as Everest explained what she was about to do. "Normally, I'd pick a second team captain and let them choose alongside me. But I can't guarantee any of us would pick Charm, and despite my gripes with him, I don't think it's fair to risk him being left out."

"Already solved it Everest." Rocky assured Everest, revealing that he would be the one sitting out of the game. Zuma was cuddling his arm as Rocky wished him a good time. "Be sure to have as much fun as you can Zuma."

Rocky and Zuma kissed before Rocky went over to the bench to watch. With that, Everest picked the teams. "Snow, Zuma, you're with me." Snow and Zuma nodded to each other before heading over to Everest. "Chase, Marshall, you're with Charm."

Chase and Marshall did their signature paw shake before heading over to Charm. Once they did, Chase warned Charm about something he hasn't seen from him yet. "Just a fair warning Charm, I'm very competitive." Charm took that as a sign that Chase knew what he was doing. At least because of how bold he was in admitting it.

Everest then informed everyone about the wait period before the first game. "We'll be starting in a few minutes everyone. Feel free to prepare however you like."

Marshall wanted Charm to have a good time as well, offering him a paw shake for good luck. "I'll try not to be a basket case on your team."

Charm accepted the paw shake, and while it still felt a little weird for them to be shaking paws, Charm showed that the desire was mutual. "Stupid joke aside, I'll attempt that too."

F.M. and the others were sitting in a booth together and were enjoying their breakfast quite a bit. Coral was amazed by how good the pancakes tasted, having never eaten food like that in a while. Skye could tell with how messily she was eating. "Somehow, I don't remember you having an appetite like this."

Coral stopped eating after she burped into her paw, blushing a bit before responding. "Sorry. I just don't get longer than five minutes to eat back home. Weirdly enough, my meetings with you guys have been the two exceptions since I've lived in PupLantis."

That concerned the three pups, particularly F.M., who knew how important it was to have a good amount of time to eat. "Five minutes?" Coral nodded her head yes, and her smiled showed that she failed to see the problem with that. F.M. was disgusted, and made that clear, despite containing herself well enough to avoid getting angry. "That's awful. No one should be forced out of enjoying a good meal."

"It's not a big deal F.M.." Coral assured F.M., who ate some more of her own food while listening to Coral. "I did ask Eveline about it once. She told me I was luck that I got to eat at all."

Skye felt her heart wrench upon hearing that, and Claw thought to himself about what Coral was going through. 'And I thought Caiohme's mother was too strict. At least she didn't limit my eating time. Even if she did complain if I took too long.' Claw decided to try and appeal to Coral's dutiful side. It was misguided, but he felt he could help her with what he had to say. "You know Coral, you could join the Paw Patrol if you like." Coral looked at Claw as he finished his offer. "It's a great benefit to dutiful pups like you and me. And we can eat at our own pace too."

Coral appreciated the offer, but didn't see any reason to change now. If only she understood the kind of predicament she was in. "Thanks for the offer Claw. I'll think about it."

That went better than his first attempt at least. Skye commented on her own concern the best, assuring Coral that she could take her time when placing a paw on her shoulder. "Take as much time as you need to eat Coral. No one's rushing you."

Coral decided to take Skye's advice due to liking it for some reason. She took a bite more slowly, and as she chewed more slowly, she was glad to find that the food felt much better that way. She actually got to enjoy the taste. She beamed at the taste, being almost foreign to how strong it was. "That's incredible!"

F.M. saw an opportunity to help Coral even further, knowing that they'd have to head back to the Lookout for this anyway. "Expect me to make us an awesome lunch once we get back to the Lookout."

"Trust us. You'll love F.M.'s cooking." Claw added, making Coral drool at the sound of that. She giggled once she noticed however, happily accepting a napkin Skye gave her to help clean herself.

Back at the basketball court, Charm and the others were getting ready to play with Rocky starting the countdown. "Three... two... one... go!"

After that, a montage of the two teams going at it begun. The montage started with Chase getting his paws on the ball, only for Everest to swipe it past him. Before he could chase after her, she passed it to Snow, who made a two pointer and scored the first shot. The next shot involved Charm swiping the ball from Zuma, but when he threw it for a three pointer, he missed. This frustrated him a little, but Zuma patted his back to help him calm down. Charm clearly wasn't a fan of losing.

Marshall then tried dribbling the ball himself, only to trip over his own two feet and wipeout. This led to him unintentionally kicking the ball with his right hind leg, sending it into the basket unexpectedly. Snow caught the ball herself after running over to the hoop, smirking to Marshall when running past him. She then shot a three pointer, scoring the next basket.

Chase managed to get them up with the next basket however, which was him doing a slam dunk after jumping over Everest before she could take it from him. After he made it, he pointed to his butt and then to Everest's team to taunt them, and Charm and Zuma both laugehd at how funny they found that to be. However, he then met an ego bruiser when he jumped down, landing right on the basketball, which caused him to slip and face plant into the ground.

Charm was then shown trying to dribble the ball, only to lose it because of lack of practice. This led to Zuma getting it, and when Charm noticed, Zuma playfully taunted him with a butt shake. Charm scoffed in response to this before smirking and focusing his sights on the ball. However, Zuma managed to shoot it in, earning another two points for the team. As Chase was giving Charm advice on how to dribble, Rocky could sense how mad he was getting.

Marshall then tried to pass the ball to Chase later on, only for Snow to snatch it from him and shoot another three pointer for the team. Charm tried to rebound for this later by aiming for a mid court shot, which was a bold move for a first timer. However, when he made the shot, he hit the bank, and it landed in Everest's paws. She grinned to Charm before making a half court shot herself. This led to Everest pumping her fist in joy, and Charm clenching his paws in anger when looking away. He stomped in anger once before walking back over to Chase and Marshall.

F.M. and the others were now at the beach, and Skye and Coral were currently sun bathing as F.M. and Claw played in the water. Skye was happy to see how relaxed Coral was. After what she told them at breakfast, she could only imagine how overworked she was. Still; she wasn't about to ruin the moment by bringing it up. "This is nice Coral. After seven years, we can still relax in our favorite spots as if nothing's changed."

"Well, 'favorite' spot is a bit of a stretch." Coral admitted, reminding Skye that she hadn't spent a lot of time here yet. "I've only been here for two hours."

"And in those two hours, you've proven that you're as sloppy of an eater as my boyfriend." Skye jabbed, making Coral snort and laugh before stopping due to how strange this feeling was to her. Skye hoped she didn't say anything to hurt her too badly. "Is everything okay Coral?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Coral assured Skye. However, she wasn't entirely sure if that was the right answer. She didn't know how she felt either. "I guess it's just been a long time since I've laughed at anyone's jokes." Coral started to show a sense of vulnerability with what she said next. "I'm usually so busy in PupLantis with patrols, helping guard the castle, and preparing for festivals, that the only one I talk to frequently is Eveline."

Coral noticed Skye's concerned look and tried to correct herself quickly. 'Coral, come on! Remember what Eveline said! Hide your vulnerability!' And with that, she changed the subject by pointing out to the water. "So how did you meet Claw?"

F.M. and Claw were splashing each other when Skye and Coral looked over to them. What Skye had to tell Coral surprised her. "He used to be a knight in Barkingburg. We met the day he got deknighted, and... things happened after that."

"Things? What kind of things?" Coral asked, and Skye was hesitant to answer, since she knew how PupLantis felt about change. Her response didn't lead Skye's concerns one way or the other. "Oh, okay. If it's something super sad then I get it."

"It's not that. I just think Claw should be the one to give you the details. It's his story after all." Skye answered, even though that was only half the reason she wasn't speaking up about it. Coral understood, and the two of them went back to relaxing in the sun. Hopefully, Coral would take it well if Claw did tell her. Coral had another feeling about why she was skeptical though. As much as she loved her, she was still loyal to Eveline. It made her conflicted on whether or not her plan would be worth it in the end.

It was nearing the end of the first basketball game, and before Chase passed the ball, he saw that Charm had gotten really tense. Still, with a short window of time to react, he dodged Snow when she came at the ball and passed it to Charm, who then got excited for his next shot. He focused his sights on the hoop and went in for a three pointer. However, it bounced off of the hoop, landing in Snow's paws. Snow smirked to Charm before passing it to Everest, who dribbled the ball and dodged Marshall when he tried to get the ball from her.

Everest shot the ball into the hoop, successfully scoring the final three points of the game. Everest, Snow, and Zuma were psyched from this as Everest pointed out the score. That's 50-17 us. Game and set!"

Chase and Marshall were walking over to congratulate the other team, before they noticed Charm trying to keep himself from blowing up. Being concerned for him, Chase checked in on him. "Are you okay Charm?"

"I'm fine Chase, thank you." Charm answered, walking off in anger once Rocky came over to check on him. "Rocky can take my place."

Marshall didn't want Charm to feel that this was a waste of time. He felt losing the game played a big part in that. "This was your first time Charm. You might do better in the next game."

"I'll pass Marshall. This game sucks anyway." Charm lied. In reality, he did enjoy his time playing the game. But he couldn't express it because of his own emotions at the time.

The others saw him walking off with Everest expressing her concerns to Rocky when she saw him. "This is one of the reasons I didn't want him to join Rocky."

"I know. Don't worry. I've got this." Rocky assured Everest, allowing Rocky to head off to help Charm cool off.

Everest picked up the ball before letting the others know what was going down. "Alright everyone. I think now's a good time for a break."

Charm was at the playground, where his bracelet beeped yellow due to him punching the swing holder and bending it a bit, which could classify as destruction of public property. After noticing, he went over to the middle swing and sat down on it as he contemplated what just went down. Rocky was quick to try and help him feel better. "You okay?" Charm nodded his head no just before Rocky sat down on the swing next to him. "Everyone loses at least once Charm. Perfection is almost nonexistent."

"It's more than that." Charm admitted, and Rocky listened as he opened up about what was happening. "Every time my team struggled during that game, I was reminded of how I never got to do this stuff before. I never got to just... play." Charm tried to contain himself as he continued, but it was hard. "My puphood was ripped away from me before I was even wore my first diaper. My whole life centered around my stupid demon blood. And even after everything I did in Wolfland and Foxcadia... I don't know if I can ever just have fun and enjoy life."

Rocky laughed a bit, but not directly at Charm. After Charm glared at him, Rocky corrected himself. "Sorry, it's not that. I just find that thought process weird when you already proved it wrong." Charm was surprised as Rocky reminded him of the moment that was on his mind. "You had plenty of fun when you attended Snow's last birthday party. And that was BEFORE we reconciled. If that's not proof you can still have fun without feeling obligated to win, then I don't know what is."

Rocky stepped off the swing and went over to Charm, kneeling down and putting his paws on his shoulders to comfort him. "F.M. and I wouldn't have convinced Everest to let you come if we didn't think you could enjoy it." Rocky hugged Charm before finishing what he had to say. "I can't help you get your early childhood back, but I CAN help you learn how to have fun with other dogs."

Charm rolled his eyes while smiling and hugging Rocky back as he spoke. "You sound like F.M.." Rocky laughed a bit, seeing the similarity in what they would've said all too clearly. Still, it seemed to be working. And maybe, just maybe, Charm would be ready to give basketball another go.

F.M. and the others were still at the beach with Claw trying to impress Coral by attempting to balance on a beach ball. "See anything that interests you Coral?" However, he ended up losing his balance and falling off the ball, causing him to roll over to Coral. His butt also ended up being pointed right at her, and just before Coral went to see if he was okay, Claw unintentionally unleashed...

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

...a loud and bassy fart right into Coral's face, making Claw's butt vibrate as he hit her with a yellow cloud of rotten eggs. F.M. and Skye saw what happened and came over once Claw started apologizing. "Oh my god; I'm so sorry Coral; I-I didn't mean that!" Coral was coughing and gagging as Claw got up and helped the three other Canines waft the fart away. "It took me by surprise, I swear!"

F.M. tried to lighten up the mood by bringing up what happened that morning. "I guess you can't say this was a surprise after what you saw from me and Marshall this morning."

Claw was confused by that, but thankfully, with or without the joke, Coral didn't think less of him for that. "I'm okay Claw. I don't think a fart would ever do anything too serious."

"Oh thank god." Claw responded with a relieved sigh, and then he corrected himself upon realizing how weird that would sound. "I mean, um..."

Skye decided to ease the tension herself by bringing up something that happened that morning. "This morning actually had a lot of gas coming from us too."

"Yeah. You should've seen that hour long fart I did after I came out of the water." Coral giggled a bit after saying that, realizing how silly it sounded to say out loud. "I'm so lucky that wasn't in public."

Claw was relieved to find that Coral wasn't grossed out by farts. It also made him more confident in the two of them managing to work out. "You have no idea how happy I am that I didn't just ruin your day."

Coral smiled in response to that with F.M. making a suggestion on what to do next. "You guys wanna head to the park and get the others for lunch?"

"You guys have a park!?" Coral exclaimed, finding herself more excited than ever to check it out. "I haven't been to a park in forever!"

"Then let's go after we pack up our stuff!" F.M. suggested excitedly, and then the four pups went over to do just that.

F.M. couldn't help getting Skye's attention with Claw and Coral heading on over to get their own stuff together. "I think we should give them some alone time Skye. Something tells me those two are gonna hit it off."

Skye looked over at Claw and Coral and had to admit that the two looked very cute together. "Good idea F.M.. We can also talk lunch ideas during this time."

F.M. loved the sound of that, and Claw took another chance to talk to Coral, seemingly about something regarding her love for singing. "So have you ever been to a musical before PupLantis?"

"No. My last family went to bed pretty early." Coral admitted, and Claw added 'Theater' on a mental list of places he could take Coral to.

During the current game of basketball, Charm managed to score his first two pointer, showing that he was getting better. It made him ecstatic, and he even started wagging his tail like normal dogs did. He almost got too distracted to continue playing, going for the ball after Everest caught it. Everest managed to shoot for another mid court shot after successfully evading Chase, which led to her getting the last of the points her team needed to win. She pumped her fist and hugged Snow when she ran over to celebrate their second victory in a row with her.

Chase went over to Charm, who was still stoked over the fact that he managed to make a basket. "We'll get it next time Charm."

"Screw next time! Did you see that!? I made a basket!" Charm exclaimed, and Marshall noticed his tail wagging again when he came over. "Obviously losing still upsets me, but I got the ball into the hoop! That was amazing!"

As Charm continued to revel in his first basket, Marshall pointed out what he saw to Charm. "Charm. Look!"

Charm looked to find Marshall pointing at his tail, which he was surprised to find wagging. He stopped it really quickly, checking in with Chase and Marshall to see if he understood what tail wagging meant properly. "Is that the normal response dogs give when they're extremely happy?"

"It sure is!" Marshall exclaimed, showing how happy he was for Charm when putting his paws on his shoulders. Once they noticed however, Marshall quickly retracted, still not quite sure if he and Charm were ready for physical affection. They both found themselves nervous after this, Marshall scratching his arm and Charm chuckling softly when looking away and his arms crossed, but they were both happy.

Chase then put his paws on both pups' shoulders as he expressed how good this felt. "Ya see Marshall? I knew Charm being on our team wouldn't hurt anything."

"Well... after he learned how to enjoy the game that is." Marshall pointed out, leaving Charm to smile at how that was possible. The fact that he was able to have fun in a normal kid way meant two things in his eyes: He was capable of having fun in ways that normal dogs did, and that meant he was one step closer to changing for good.

Charm then went over to the other team with Chase and Marshall, Chase shaking Everest's paw, Marshall hi fiving Snow, and Charm fist bumping Zuma. Charm then expressed how grateful he was for this opportunity. "I can't help thanking you all for giving me this opportunity. This was my first time playing a real sport, and it felt great once I got the hang of it. I felt like I was having fun like a real dog. At least after we could bend and fight like humans can."

Everest did have some words for Charm after that, showing that while she didn't fully forgive him, she was glad to see his progress. "I'm still mad at you for everything you've done, but I can't lie Charm." The soft smile she gave further proved this. "I'm glad you had fun."

Charm smiled as Everest said that, even if he still had some work to do for earning Everest's forgiveness. He did for Snow as well, but she also had to admit she enjoyed herself. "It was pretty fun getting to beat YOU at something for once."

"Something I'm sure can be talked about over a good meal." Rocky chimed in, holding up his phone to show that it was close to afternoon time. "F.M. should be getting us for lunch any minute now."

And right on cue, F.M. parked her truck super close by and jumped out, running over to the others as fast as she could as Zuma commented on her timing. "With timing as pewfect as her buwger flips."

F.M. brought Marshall in for a big hug and shared a loving kiss with Snow before telling them all what she had planned. "Who's ready for chicken pot pies!?" All the pups loved the sound of that, happily heading back to their vehicles to head home to eat.

F.M. arrived back with the others before rushing into the Lookout to get started on the chicken pot pies as fast as possible. "It'll be a little over an hour; have fun until then!"

Some of the other pups couldn't help laughing as Marshall pointed out how excited she got about cooking. "That's my sister for ya. Always excited to fill your bellies."

Zuma then realized something and looked to Coral to see if she was up for it. "Oh; Cowal! You haven't met Melody and Wubble yet, have you? My pawents are watching them wight now, and you can come with us to pick up Wubble so you can meet them.

"That sounds great!" Coral exclaimed, and then she saw Charm inspecting a frisbee he picked up off the ground. She remembered her mission and hid her guilt when finishing her response. "I'll be with you a second."

"Take your time." Zuma replied, cuddling Rocky's arm as soon as Coral walked off. Rocky was more than happy to embrace Zuma once he did.

Charm started biting on the frisbee when Coral came over, not really getting the appeal of it. "What's the point of this thing?"

"It's been a while since I played with one." Coral admitted, surprising Charm when she came over with such a friendly response. Coral had another thing in mind she wanted to check on. "So did anything come up about Starfish Cove?"

Charm tried to remember what he could about Starfish Cove after throwing the frisbee to the side. The only thing he could remember was the environment. "I believe it was a Coastal Town?"

"Yeah, it was." Coral answered, glad that Charm at least remembered something. She wanted to tell Charm about it, but she couldn't. Eveline's teachings of suppressing her vulnerable side made it hard for her to open up. Thankfully, it also helped her talk to Charm. She simply handed Charm the letter Eveline told her to give him. "There's this recipe for an important potion that can cure just about anything. Skye mentioned your demon blood to me, and I thought you'd want some help getting rid of it."

Charm looked at the paper, which showed all of the ingredients he needed to make this 'potion'. He had no idea what it was really for, and Coral couldn't bring herself to betray Eveline by telling him. "I've heard of this before." Charm brought up Starfish Cove again, wondering why Coral kept bringing it up to him. "Look Coral. If you want to talk about this 'Starfish Cove' place, then we have time."

"Actually, Zuma's waiting for me to go with him and Rocky to pick up Rubble." Coral informed Charm, keeping this as brief as possible to avoid keeping him waiting. "I just wanted to know if you remembered more."

Charm was a little confused by that, but he did find himself curious about Coral's meaning of this place. "Um... okay." Coral walked off with Charm turning around and questioning to himself what that was about. "She clearly lived there or something. Why be so vague about it?"

Claw saw the frisbee and went to pick it up before noticing Charm calling someone on the phone. After he spoke up, the words he chose concerned Claw. "Moby. You said you wanted to help me with my demon blood?" Claw listened closely after sneaking over to see what Charm was up to. "I think I was learned of a way you can." That alarmed Claw, since he didn't see when Coral gave Charm the paper he was holding. Something told him he had to join Charm and Moby on whatever this was about. Anything relating to Charm's demon blood had to be bad.

Rock music played as Claw started speaking in regards to what was going to happen with specific moments from the next chapter being shown. "There's no way I can trust Charm to not cause mayhem in Twin Flame Island. Moby can only do so much on his own. Speak up Charm! What are you planning this time!? Huh? A cure for your demon blood? You mean like that potion you wanted?"

Claw finished the announcement with the words Paw Patrol in all blue with red outlines surrounded with a white border with Flare on the right, and Marshall on the left. "Next time, To Trust, Or Not To Trust! (Snow is shown confronting Coral, surprising her while she's on the phone) That's an easy question. I STILL don't trust Charm!"
