Chase POV

Everest: Chase, I love you ...

Me: Uh ... Hehe ... Me too ... I love you ...

I wake up. No! Why this is not the reality? Wait, I love Everest? No it is not possible. Marshall and Everest yes, but me and Everest, no.
I open my eyes, and I see her on my shoulder. Aww, she sleeps so peacefully, she is prettier than Skye ... No! I love Skye, not Everest!
I put her gently on the ground, and I put a blanket over her. I approach her to give her a kiss .... No! What's wrong with me? I'm not in love with her! It is not possible! I leave the chalet, and I feel the fresh air, and soft on my face.

Me: Everest is lucky to live here ... It's so good ...

Everest: Thinking of me?

I hear a familiar voice that speaks to me, and I jump in fear.

Me: Oh...Everest, is that you?

Everest imitating Ryder: No, that's not me. I'm Ryder.

Everest and I laugh. Everest is rather funny.

Everest: We have many things to do today!

Me: Like?

Everest: Lots of things!

Me: I can't wait to do it all with you!

Everest blush. What did I just say?

Everest: W-with m-me?

Me: N-no ... Y-yes .... I-I mean ...

Everest touch my nose with her paw, and runs.

Everest: Tag! Try to catch me!

Me: Are you sure? No one is faster than me!

I run behind her, and it seems like that I can't catch her? But? ... I slipped on the snow and I fell. The husky of my dreams ... I mean the Husky comes to me.

Everest: You okay Chase?

Me: Since when you're faster than me ....?

Everest: Hehe No, you're the fastest. On the snow, I'm faster than you.

We look at each other smiling for long seconds.

Jake: Hey lovers! Time for breakfast!

Me: L-lovers ...?

Everest: Uh ... He is maybe wrong...Hehe

Everest and I returned to Jake's chalet. Jake prepared milk with lots of biscuits for pups, and toast, and ...

Me: Wow, all that?

Everest: Hehe ... Jake and I eat a lot in the morning.

Jake gives us food, and Everest sit next to me.
Jake sits down with us. This is the first time I see a human eating with pups.

Jake: So Chase, you are missing your friends?

Me: Certainly not. Uh ... I mean, yes. If Rubble would be there, he would have eaten all.

I talked about Rubble to change the subject.

Jake: Have you fun with Everest?

Oh no, he talk again about that.

Me: I do! We are having a lots of fun!

Everest smiles at me, I look at her, and she turns her head while blushing. Why she blush every time? She loves me? No, I don't think so.

After breakfast, I thought to call Ryder. I'm walking a bit far away of Everest, and I call Ryder.

Ryder: Hi Chase! How are you all?

Me: Everything is fine. And at the Lookout?

Ryder: You're not there, so Marshall makes all your work. He woke up the pups, he helped me with Skye ...

Me: With Skye ...?

Ryder: Listen Chase. Everest told me everything. I know you're sad. But you must turn the page. You must give up.

I have tears in my eyes, thinking back to Skye. I turn my head, and I look at Everest who is laughing with Jake.

Ryder: Chase, Be strong buddy.

Me: Thanks Ryder ...

I'm hanging up.
I sit on the floor, thinking of Skye. I feel someone touching me.

Everest: Chase, if you miss Skye, you can go to the Lookout.

Me: And you?

Everest: Me? I will stay here, and I will play alone.

Me: No way! I promise you that you will be happy for one week with me here!

Everest smiles slightly.

Me: So, you said we have many things to do?

Everest: The first outside wins!

Everest and I go out of the chalet, howling.
