Powered Up Pooches arc Episode eight: A Dachshund's First Date
Wave, Liberty, and Snow were enjoying themselves at Farmer Yumi's with Wave and Snow riding a horse together as Liberty played with the other animals. Snow held onto Wave's waist as she held the reins, loving the ride as much as she was. It was a peaceful ride, since the horse was going slow. But they still got to enjoy the view of the farm as they went around it. The two of them embraced the beauty with Wave giving the horse a soft rub on the head for comfort. The horse smiled and neighed in response, showing that Wave as doing a great job.
Meanwhile with Liberty, she was still playing with the chickens, and when she was done, she went over to the cows to see what they wanted to do. "That was fun! Let's do it again sometime." When Liberty walked up to the cows, she started looking at them to see what they would want to do. There was only one thing she could think of. "Did Farmer Yumi already get enough milk out of you?" The cow nodded her head yes, bumming Liberty out a bit. "Bummer. I wanted to try shooting some milk into my mouth."
Liberty then noticed a white chicken staring at her, which confused her a bit. "Huh?" The chicken continued to look at Liberty, who smiled before walking past it to find Wave and Snow. "I'm all chickened out little chicky. You should go back to your friends." The chicken started to follow Liberty, showing some kind of atatchment to her. Liberty looked back once she noticed this and started to get excited. She turned around when she asked about it in glee. "Wait. Are you trying to come home with me?" The chicken nodded her head yes, which made Liberty squee.
Wave and Snow were heading back on the horse with Liberty running over to them with her new chicken friend. "Wave! Snow!"
The horse was frightened by Liberty's entrance, neighing in surprise as Wave petted her to calm her down. "Whoa! Easy girl!" Wave managed to calm the horse down, informing a startled Liberty on her mistake. "You gotta be careful around horses Libby. They startle easily."
Liberty instantly regretted scaring the horse, looking up at it to apologize. "Sorry horsey." The horse put her head down to Liberty so she could pet her, and she accepted with a smile. After doing so, she showed Wave and Snow her chicken. "This chicken started following me. I think it wants me to take her home."
Wave and Snow looked at each other before looking back at Liberty. Snow expressed their hesitance to bring a chicken back. "We're not sure Liberty. Pets are usually a lot of work, and chickens usually live on farms."
"I can make my room fit for a farm chicken." Liberty insisted, showing that she really wanted to take the chicken home. "And I've already been studying what chickens eat for when we came here and I wanted to feed them." Liberty then gave an all too familiar face when giving a wide smile. "Pleeeeeease?"
Snow gave a deadpan expression before looking at Wave for an obvious question. "You taught her the please face, didn't you."
Wave giggled a bit before deciding to leave it up to Farmer Yumi. "We can ask Farmer Yumi if she's okay with it. Just don't be too upset if she says no."
"Okay." Liberty responded, and she looked at the chicken as Wave and Snow hopped down, already having a name in mind. "If she says yes, I'm gonna call you Chickaletta!"
The scene, which was revealed to be a flashback, ended then and there with Liberty gleefully holding her new chicken in her paws. "And that's how I adopted Chickaletta."
She was revealed to be telling this story to Rocky and Charm, who came over to them to return Snow's meteorite. Rocky had some words of advice for Liberty about caring for Chickaletta. "Just remember to keep her well fed Liberty."
"Already on it!" Liberty assured Rocky as she took out an ear of corn. She then let Chickaletta peck it as she held it for her. "Try not to peck my paw, okay?"
"That reminds me. We should get you gloves in case that DOES happen." Wave suggested, and Liberty's smile showed that she took a liking to it. Snow on the other hand flinched at the mention of gloves, which Wave and the others took notice to. "You okay Snowflake?"
Snow shook her head a bit, trying to keep her cool after hearing that. "Sorry. Past stuff." Wave put a paw on Snow's shoulder to let her know she was there.
Rocky then handed Snow her meteorite, much to her joy as she accepted it back from him. "We have a delivery for one meteorite to a Snow Silverman."
Snow put her meteorite back on her collar, being more than grateful as she hugged Rocky. "Thanks Rocky! It already feels so great to have my powers back!"
"Always happy to help." Rocky assured Snow, and when she let go, he got to work on making sure Slash and his team couldn't blindside them. "Now then. I should meet up with Ryder to scout ahead in case they raid the HQ to get the meteorite back. Knowing Slash, it'd be smart to anticipate his next assault on Adventure City to keep our latest mission in mind."
"And I'm going to work on the augmentations I stole from his base." Charm said with glee, heading off to get right to it after fist bumping Rocky. "My room is going to be filled with weapons galore!"
Rocky headed off while waving to the other three, leaving Chickaletta to accidentally peck Liberty's paw. "Ow!" This made her drop the chicken, which made Liberty complain as she reminded Chickaletta of her request. "Chickaletta, you're supposed to NOT peck my paw. Not Peck my paw."
Liberty licked the part Chickaletta pecked as Snow took Wave's paw for something they had planned. "Come on Wave. I'm in the mood for some romantic dining."
"I'll see what I can do with that for breakfast." Wave responded, knowing she could whip something up. "It's gonna involve a lot of strawberries for the love part."
Liberty had a feeling this was gonna need some alone time, so she headed over to her room with Chickaletta to give Wave and Snow some privacy. "I'll stay out of your way. Enjoy your breakfast thing!"
"Thanks Libby!" Wave and Snow said in sync, and the two lovebirds kissed as they headed off to the kitchen.
Once Liberty went into her room, she realized she didn't have anyone to hang out with. "Wait a minute." She started talking to Chickaletta when she came to this realization. "I'm all alone Chickaletta! Chase and Zuma got that mission, Claw's visiting PupLantis to see Coral, Skye and Everest went on a girls' day out, everyone on the team is busy!" Chickaletta started pecking at the ground, which Liberty already covered with hay for her.
Liberty then gasped as she pulled out her phone with another realization she made. "I'll just get a friend from OFF the team!" As soon as Liberty made the call, it was revealed that she was talking about Arrby.
Arrby was on his way to the Adventure City HQ, and on the way there, he spotted a homeless man on the sidewalk. It saddened him when he saw this. Everywhere around the world, people were struggling to survive. Some more than others. It was one of the reasons Sid and Arrby stole artifacts from the rich. They couldn't stand to see people in need barely getting by. When Arrby walked past the homeless guy, he darted his eyes to his hat for a brief moment. When he looked, he saw what looked like a hundred dollars. That was enough for a good start.
The homeless guy looked at Arrby as he stopped, smiling as he gave him some advice. "Use that money wisely! You just might get your life back on track!" Arrby then headed off to the Paw Patrol HQ with the homeless guy looking at the hundred dollar bill. He put his hat back on and stood up, still processing what'd just happened. A dog he never met before just gave him a hundred dollars. Most people would just walk by. He smiled gratefully and headed off to invest the money.
When Arrby arrived at Paw Patrol HQ, Liberty was already waiting for him on her scooter. He was excited to see her, running over to her and greeting her as soon as he did. "Hi Liberty! I talked to Sid, and he said I could spend the day with you if I came home on time!"
"Not a problem! That should give us plenty of time to hang out!" Liberty exclaimed, letting Arrby hop onto her scooter before driving off. She also made sure he was strapped on properly, thanks to a modification she had Rocky make that gave him an extra seat belt. Liberty was as excited as could be about this, wondering what Arrby wanted to do first. "You've had plenty of time to get to know the city Arrby. What do you wanna do first?"
Arrby's stomach growled, making him laugh a bit as he addressed it. "Guess I'm still a little hungry from breakfast. You know any place around here that serves good food?"
"How about every place in the city?" Liberty answered, starting to set course for a really good diner a couple blocks away. "There's this really good diner with the best pancakes you could ask for. They even have beyond meat, so we don't have to worry about passing on bacon!"
"That's great! Sid started cooking that all the time at home after I became a pescetarian." Arrby replied, getting another question in mind after he revealed that. "Do they have seafood themed breakfasts there?"
"They sure do! I never had them for obvious reasons, but I'm sure they're great!" Liberty exclaimed, being more than happy to see how Arrby enjoyed this diner. Liberty then looked back before taking off. "I hope you're ready to ride!" Arrby gave a nod, allowing Liberty to take off while laughing in joy over how fast she was going.
Arrby then noticed Liberty's fur and ears being blown back by the wind. He was taken aback by how beautiful she looked. The smile on his face made it very clear how he felt seeing Liberty looking so gorgeous. He and Liberty were already happy to be sitting with each other on her Scooter. And this was making him love the ride even more. That is, until Liberty stopped, which made the wind flow stop.
Liberty and Arrby hopped down in front of the diner with Liberty announcing their location. "Feast your eyes on this Arrby!" Arrby got a good look at the front entrance, which revealed the name of the diner. "Patty's Pancakes!" Liberty then clarified one thing about the name. "They serve waffles too. I think she picked Pancakes because it starts with P." Arrby nodded in understanding just before Liberty's sassy side kicked in. "Don't expect me to go cheap on these bad girls."
"Hehe. If they're as good as you say they are." Arrby replied, heading inside with Liberty to enjoy the delicacies with her.
Liberty and Arrby were waiting for their food inside the diner as Liberty was telling Arrby about Chickaletta. They sat across from each other, since they sat at a booth "She's already the best chicken in the world! Even after she pecked my paw, she's still super obedient, and super fun to play with. She even listened when I told her to listen call for Ryder on her Pup-Pad back home!" Liberty then gasped when she realized Chickaletta might be lost with her not there. "Do you think she'll be okay if I'm not there!?"
"I'm sure she'll be okay Liberty." Arrby assured Liberty, knowing there would always be someone to look after her at home. "Half the team is still at the HQ. Someone should be able to spot her."
Liberty hoped Arrby was right, but before she could think about it, hers and Arrby's plates were being set down in front of them. Liberty got herself some chocolate chip pancakes with marshmallows on top, and Arrby got himself a Dungeness Crab Eggs Benedict. Arrby's was pricey, but he didn't mind paying for such a delicious looking meal. The waitress there, Alice, just couldn't risk asking Liberty and Arrby about their coming here. "It's not every day we see you with someone in here Liberty. Any chance you're on a special date of some kind?"
"Date!?" The mention of a date made Liberty and Arrby flinch. They hadn't actually given it much thought, but the thought made them both blush.
Liberty was the first to speak up about it, unsure if she should confirm, or deny it. "Well... I'm not sure."
"Yeah, she only called me because everyone else was busy." Arrby added, being unsure of what to say about it either.
"Don't take it the wrong way! I love hanging out with you." Liberty assured Arrby worriedly, not wanting him to think she hated his company. "I just, don't know if I should call it a 'date' or not."
"I get it. I didn't even think about it until now." Arrby admitted, and then he noticed Liberty starting to smile. This made him smile as well, despite how nervous he was about progressing with the conversation. "Do you... WANT to call it a date?"
"Only if you do. I didn't give it much thought either." Liberty answered, not wanting to force anything onto Arrby.
"I don't have a problem with it." Arrby said, despite what he admitted with what he said next. "So, what do people do on... dates?"
Liberty shrugged, and Alice gave them some words on what they could do. "It doesn't have to be anythin' specific. As long as you both like doin' it and are both havin' a good time with each other, you can do anything."
Liberty and Arrby looked at their food after hearing that, leaving Liberty to make a suggestion for both herself and Arrby. "Eating breakfast in the best diner in the city?"
"Works for me!" Arrby said happily, allowing himself and Liberty to dig in. After they started eating, Alice left to let them enjoy their time together. Arrby couldn't deny how right Liberty was. It really was an amazing diner in terms of quality food. They even made good seafood themed breakfasts, which weren't easy to find in city diners. After eating their food for a bit, Arrby started to wonder what he and Liberty could do after this. "Anything you were thinking we could do after this?"
"Oh yeah, I've got so many places around the city we could explore!" Liberty assured Arrby with immense excitement, hoping he would love the city as much as she did.
Arrby got excited as well, bringing up the date bit as he put his paws on the table. "Does that mean we're calling this a date?"
Liberty looked at Arrby's paw and hesitated at first, worrying that moving forward with this would risk her scaring Arrby away. After a bit of thought, she realized that she shouldn't let that stop her from enjoying her day with Arrby. After all, she'd managed to avoid scaring the Paw Patrol off, and she lived with them now. Despite her fear, she wanted to at least try with Arrby. She smiled and placed her paw on his, making Arrby smile back. "Yeah." Liberty and Arrby looked at each other as Liberty confirmed Arrby's belief to be true. "It's a date."
Romantic music started playing as Liberty and Arrby were shown walking through the park for the next part of their date. Arrby started looking around the park with a smile as Liberty looked worried, and happy, at the same time, as her voice began singing over the scene with the first part of the song called This Feeling Called Love. "I don't know if it's right to say I'm confused." Liberty and Arrby looked at each other to check on the other, turning their heads away to avoid being caught wondering how the other felt. "I don't want my words to be misused."
Liberty saw the ducks she would always feed, running over to them with Arrby following suit. "I think it's too soon for me to describe it. I hope that soon, I'll find the words that fit."
Arrby started to sing over the scene as well when Liberty took out some cracked corn for the ducks to eat. "I think I've heard about this feeling before. But I might need more time to be sure." Liberty offered Arrby some cracked corn as well, which he accepted. He almost ate it before Liberty stopped him, gesturing the ducks to confirm what she meant. "After all, the feeling's still so new to me. I hope it won't take too long to see."
Liberty sang over the scene again as she smiled when seeing the ducks accept the cracked corn. "To see if it's real."
"To see if it's real." Arrby sang over, and he smiled in the scene as well when he took joy in the ducks accepting his cracked corn.
"So I don't think the wrong thing." Liberty continued over the scene, waving to the ducks with Arrby as they swam off. "But I must admit that I kind of like this feeling." Liberty and Arrby walked off, smiling as Liberty over the scene sang again. "I hope that it's real."
"I hope that it's real." Arrby continued, showing that both characters loved what they were feeling in the moment. "And that it's why I feel my heart beating."
Liberty and Arrby then sang over the scene in sync as they smiled to each other before blushing and looking away. "Because I want to believe that I'm really feeling that feeliiiiing."
Liberty and Arrby were then at the movie theater as Liberty sang over the scene while struggling to pick out a movie. "Because this feeling feels, so, good! And I don't want it to be something different." Arrby rolled his eyes while smiling, pointing to an adventure movie that caught Liberty's eye, making her smile as she nodded her head yes. "Cause if you asked if this felt right, I don't think I'd have an argument."
Arrby sang over the scene of her and Liberty watching the movie together, and there was a moment of the two main characters, a man and a woman, putting their hand on the same armrest on their ship. "My heart feels like it's taking flight like a dove." Liberty copied the move in the movie out of impulse, and Arrby smiled when he felt their paws touching on the same armrest. "I really hope I'm right, that I'm feeling this feeling called love."
The next scene showed Liberty and Arrby eating lunch at Sid and Arrby's ship, as Sid was serving up tacos for the both of them while petting their heads. It help that they were sitting next to each other. "Eat to your heart's content mateys. Liberty, I made sure yours was strictly vegetarian."
Liberty and Arrby started looking at the tacos with Liberty starting to drool a bit when she noticed. Arrby offered her a napkin, which led to her seeing what she was doing. She used the napkin and wiped the drool before giggling over how silly she looked. As this was happening, Liberty sang over the scene again. "Whenever I hear his name, it makes me start to smile."
"She makes me feel her joy all around all the while." Arrby backed up over the scene, and the two smiled at each other before looking at their food.
The two sang in sync before nodding to each other to start eating their food. "I hope what I feel about this is truuuuue." And when the two started eating, they continued singing about how good this feeling felt. "Because this feeling feels, so, good! And I hope it's what I think it is." Both Dachshunds were eating rather messily, making Sid laugh as he watched them from the couch. "We can't think of anything else, that could bring us this kind of bliss."
The two continued to eat their food before Liberty burped, letting out a green cloud of rotten vegetables from her mouth as they sang over the scene. "Whenever I see him, I feel like I'm rising above." Arrby burped as well, letting out a green cloud of rotten fish by the time they were both done.
They laughed in the scene as Liberty sang over it first to finish the final verse. "It feels like a dream I don't wanna get out of."
Arrby continued when he and Liberty looked at each other in the scene. "It feels like the perfect fit you feel from a glove."
Liberty and Arrby scooted a little closer to each other, putting their paws on the table as they smiled while singing over the scene. "I hope I'm right, and that I finally know this feeliiing, caaalled..." And when their tails were shown wagging while they sat down, the final note played to finish the song. "Loooooooooove."
After eating lunch, Liberty and Arrby were sitting by the meteor crater, where Sid and Arrby had recently moved their boat. Liberty was laughing at a story Arrby just told her about the time he accidentally crashed Sid's ship into a beach. "Dude; I still can't believe you did that!"
"I know! That was NOT a first time piloting the ship." Arrby admitted, laughing a bit with Liberty as he spoke up about something else related to the incident. "Ever since then, Sid kept a watchful eye on me while I was piloting the ship, just to make sure I knew what I was doing."
"Does that mean you can do it by yourself now?" Liberty asked curiously, and Arrby nodded his head yes to confirm it. "Awesome! Maybe if I wanted to give it a try, you could show me the ropes."
"I'd love to. You'll love the open seas." Arrby responded, confident that Liberty would love the feeling of sailing over the seven seas. "I wasn't sure if I'd like it at first, but ever since Sid adopted me, it was the biggest home I've ever known. And I couldn't be happier."
Liberty smiled when Arrby said that, but had to admit she was a little envious. She wished she grew up with a loving family like Arrby did. Even after she came to Adventure City, she didn't really 'live' with anyone. Not until the Paw Patrol came along. Still, she was happy to acknowledge how much Sid did for Arrby. She could tell how genuine their bond was. "It sounds like Sid has helped you a lot."
"In more ways than I can count." Arrby replied, getting a little sentimental about the day he met Sid. "I don't know where I'd be now if it weren't for Sid." Liberty became concerned after Arrby said that, making him regret bringing somber tones to this day. "I'm sorry. This date is supposed to be fun."
"No no, it's okay." Liberty assured Arrby, wanting to hear the story, if he was open to telling it. "You can tell me if you want."
Arrby thought it over, realizing after a few seconds that it might be bad timing. It's not that he didn't want to tell Liberty. He just didn't want such a happy day to be when he did it. He smiled when confirming what he thought to her. "I'll tell you some other time. This day is supposed to be fun after all. And the thing that's most on my mind is... how much I'm enjoying my time with you."
Liberty was flattered, and could tell that Arrby was being sincere. She giggled a bit as she reflected on her work towards learning how to open up. "I guess I should've asked at the start if picking the right mood was important. That should help when I decide to tell the others about... things."
Arrby took Liberty's paw, making her pull away since it was sudden, which prompted his apology. "Sorry, I forgot. No touches without warnings." Liberty put her paw back down after that, allowing Arrby to place his paw on it again as he assured her she was doing great by this city. "I know I wasn't there during the attack on Adventure City two days ago. But I know you were a part of it. And that you did a great job helping out against Victoria."
"It did help me feel better knowing that I was able to help." Liberty admitted, despite still being concerned about her ability to help the city. "I just wish I could figured out what to do about these new powers. Everything happened so fast, and I wasn't prepared for it at all."
Arrby showed sympathy to Liberty as he paid all of his attention onto her. "Not everything can be planned for Liberty." Liberty looked at Arrby, who smiled as he continued what he had to say. "And I'll be here whenever anything gets sprung up on you. I know the others will feel the same way."
Liberty smiled gratefully, glad that he met Arrby when he did. "Thanks Arrby." Arrby nodded in response with Liberty then taking the time to let him know what she learned about her power. "I think I have an idea on what my power is too. When Victoria zapped me, Wave, Marshall, and Zuma during the last attack, I wasn't affected by it at all. So my power must have some kind of relation to rubber." Liberty gasped as a thought came to her mind. "Maybe my power is turning into a balloon!"
Arrby laughed a bit, but not directly at Liberty. He just thought the idea was silly. Still, it was worth a shot at least. "Well, no one else is watching. You can test it out here if you want." Liberty got to doing so, breathing in as much air as she could and trying to hold it in as she jumped up. However, she failed to float, even as she flapped her little Dachshund paws. This continued with the second jump and also the third. After landing on the third, she started to turn blue, worrying Arrby. Just before Liberty gave out, she ended up releasing...
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT
...a loud and bassy fifteen second fart, causing Liberty's butt to vibrate as she let out a big green cloud of moldy vegetables while also losing her breath. She and Arrby laughed after Liberty's eyes darted back at the fart cloud. She knew Arrby wasn't the type to be annoyed by a fart. In fact, he confirmed that when his stomach growled, and he lifted his butt up to let out a fart of his own from his vibrating butt...
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
...This fart also lasted for fifteen seconds and let out a green cloud of rotten fish, which made Liberty and Arrby laugh just like Liberty's fart did. They ended up falling onto their backs while laughing and kicking their hind paws, causing them to let out five more farts in sync...
PFFT PHHT BRAT BRUP BLARP
BRAT BLARP PFFT PHHT BRUP
...The two Canines laughed some more after rolling back onto their stomachs, leaving Liberty to wipe one of her eyes with her ear as she debunked the balloon power theory. "Okay, so my power isn't turning into a balloon." She couldn't help joking about what just happened when she did. "But I'm still full of hot air."
"That makes two of us." Arrby added to the joke, laughing again with Liberty as the two then realized how close their faces were to each other. They sat up and looked away while blushing, leaving Arrby to break the silence with another mention of Liberty's powers. "Well, whatever your power is," And his smile when looking at Liberty showed that he was excited to see it. "I know it's gonna be great."
Liberty smiled as well, being excited to see what the power was. "Thanks Arrby. I'm hoping so too." Liberty and Arrby went back to sitting on the dock, looking out onto the open sea with smiles on their faces. They were certainly enjoying their date so far, and they didn't want the fun to stop anytime soon. And moments like the cringeworthy one they just had, or the moment they shared before then, or the one they shared now, were part of the reason why. The other reason, and the biggest reason at that, was because... they just loved each other's company.
Liberty and Arrby were in Liberty's room later that day, where Liberty was giving Arrby a proper introduction to Chickaletta. "And if Wave said she was a well behaved chicken while I was gone, then that's enough for me to believe that she's a well behaved chicken." Arrby looked at Chickaletta, who simply looked at him without making any sudden moves. When she started pecking at the ground again, Arrby reached in for a pet, glad that Chickaletta was a soft chicken. Or at least soft enough not to peck back. "I wonder how she'll feel in the mornings."
"Probably the same as roosters." Arrby said, knowing a thing or two about farm animals thanks to Liberty. "Farmer Yumi said roosters wake up as soon as the sun rises, right? Maybe chickens do that too."
"Maybe. But roosters crow when the sun rises to wake up farmers." Liberty explained, wondering what chickens could do at that time. "The only thing I can see Chickaletta waking up for that early in the morning is breakfast. And I don't think we have unlimited corn."
Arrby looked at the corn pile Liberty had in a container big enough to need a step ladder for. She clearly put a lot of thought into how much food Chickaletta would have. "I think you'll be okay."
Liberty then realized that she didn't have anything for Chickaletta to play with, worrying that she'd find it boring in her room. "Awww, I just realized I don't have any toys for her to play with. She would've been bored if Wave and the others weren't here." Liberty then revealed something else she learned when talking to Farmer Yumi. "Maybe I can get her a swing or a climbing toy! Farmer Yumi said chickens like playing with those."
"Yeah, those could be fun for her to play with." Arrby replied, wondering how a swing would fit in Liberty's room. "How do you think you'd get a swing in here?"
Liberty gave that a bit of thought, and her idea on how it could be done was certainly a new one. "Well Rubble works in construction. Maybe he can smash my wall to help it fit through, and then put it back together when we get it inside." Liberty then started cuddling with Chickaletta when she went over to her with a smile in regards to her wanting her attention. "After I make sure Chickaletta's away from the blast of course."
Arrby then started thinking about how much Liberty's love for animals affected her life. "So... random question. Is your love for animals why you became a vegetarian?"
Liberty smiled when Arrby asked that. It showed that his guess was as truthful as they came. "It sure is. I just couldn't bring myself to eat them." Liberty spoke up a little bit more about that when she and Arrby hopped up onto her bed. "Once I found out that I was eating actual animals, I couldn't bring myself to eat meat or fish anymore. It just kept haunting me, and making me sick to my stomach when I tried to take a bite." Arrby nodded in response, knowing what that was like. "I think I know why it did too. How do I explain this?"
Arrby noticed that Liberty was starting to get worried again, which made him worry in return. "Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, I just realized something I probably should've told you sooner. And I, also should've thought about whether or not I was supposed to." Liberty admitted, showing that she was still trying to get used to her newly diagnosed disability. Even after almost a month, it was hard for her to come to grips with every detail. Still, thanks to the support of everyone else, once it came to mind, she was okay with bringing it up. "I have Autism. And I didn't know if it was something I should just, bring up or not."
"I think it's about the timing." Arrby responded, and his smile showed that he didn't judge Liberty one bit. Not that it would make sense either, given what he said next. "Rocky and another friend of ours have Autism too. I'm glad I know now, but based on what I know, it's not something you just bring up."
Liberty was glad she didn't come off the wrong way for not mentioning it sooner. But she was even more happy to have mentioned it to Arrby. "I'm glad you know too." Arrby smiled right back, and Chickaletta winked to the audience when she saw the sparks fly.
Later that day, Liberty was laying down on her bed with Chickaletta while happily thinking about Arrby While she was doing this, she heard a knock on her bedroom door, being more than happy to see who it was. "Come in!"
Wave opened up the door and was revealed to be holding Charlotte's Web when she did. "Snow and I are finally free Libby! You wanna watch Charlotte's Web again?"
"Do I love blazing around Adventure City on my scooter?" Liberty asked to answer, and she hopped off while signaling Chickaletta to hop onto her back. "Come on Chickaletta. You'll love this movie. It stars farm animals and has a spider!" Chickaletta hopped onto Liberty's back, and she headed out of her room with Wave. "This is gonna be so much fun."
"It always is." Wave replied, closing the door behind her as she left. On the way to the couch, Wave struck a conversation about Liberty's date with Arrby. "So did you have fun spending the day with Arrby?"
"Oh yeah, it was the best!" Liberty answered, gushing about how great Arrby was, as well as the time she spent with him. "Arrby's so sweet, and so much fun too. And he's one of the most helpful dogs I've ever met, even if we include the Paw Patrol!" Wave couldn't help smiling as she thought about how close Liberty and Arrby were. "We went to Patty's Pancakes for breakfast, which was great, then we went to the park, and then the movies, and then we had lunch at his place, and then we talked by the crater, and then he met Chickaletta; it was all amazing!"
"I'm sure it was Libby." Wave responded as she arrived at the couch with Liberty and Chickaletta. As usual, she sat down in between Snow and Liberty and wrapped her arm around Snow, who did the same with her. Liberty had Chickaletta sit next to her, which led to Wave commenting on something about the movie. "Here's hoping Chickaletta can handle sad scenes in movies."
"I doubt it. The only movie she had back on the farm, was the farm itself." Snow added, knowing that this would be Chickaletta's first time watching a real movie.
Wave then leaned over to Liberty before starting the movie, whispering to her with a sly grin on her face. "Let me know if you want us to set the mood next time." Liberty was confused at first, but when she realized what Wave meant, she giggled a bit. She wasn't sure how fast she and Arrby would move. They hadn't even said their real feelings to each other yet. But the idea of moving forward was very appealing. She allowed Wave to start the movie after that as the screen faded to black, ending the episode off.
Rock music started playing as Zuma started talking about what was going to happen with specific moments from the next chapter being shown. "My pawents and Melody have come over for Chwistmas! I can't wait for them to meet Libewty and see Adventuwe City! Cowal and Moby came too, and so did Sweetie and Caiohme. Pwetty much evewyone fwom our families came over to see us! I'm so glad I wawmed up to Chwistmas over the yeaws."
Zuma finished the announcement with the words Paw Patrol in all blue with red outlines surrounded with a white border with Wave on the right, and Marshall on the left. "Next time, Melody's Biwthweek!" The pups were shown pulling Marshall out of a lake that turned him into a big block of ice after he fell in. "Of couwse I'm giving Melody a biwthweek. She desewves all the love imaginable."
