PAW Patrol: The Wounds We Heal

Chapter one: Reflections

"Hahh, finally!!" Chase sighed, as Katie entered with a nurse by her side. "We're finally getting outta here!"

"You sound more excited than Ryder." Marshall smirked, while Katie cleared the way for them to bring the wheelchair they had with them around to the boy's left side. "And he was the one who actually had to stay here."

"Yeah well being stuck here under mandatory supervision wasn't any picnic either, you know." Chase sighed dryly, surprisedly squirming when hands picked him up off the right side of the bed. And looking back, he noticed it to be Jake, who just smiled then nodded to Katie to proceed.

"After all, I was practically climbing the walls in the first couple days let alone this whole WEEK!" He finished as Jake then decided to set him down now.

"And yet you survived." Chester joked, catching Marshall's humorous glance and the Dalmatian concealed a chuckle into his paw.

Katie pulled back the covers and then helped Ryder to carefully sit up and turn him so his legs hung off the side of the bed.

"Either way, at least you're both doing a lot better than you were almost a week and a half ago." Rocky mentioned. "That whole mansion fiasco was something to remember; that's for sure."

"I'd be glad if I never saw that place ever again!" Chase breathed, shivering at the chill running up and down his spine at just the mere memories of it all.

"At least they're all just memories now." Marshall reasoned.

"Yeah,.. memories I'd like to forget!" Chase sighed.

Katie held Ryder's slinged arm as he eased himself down into the wheelchair, and she patted his shoulder gently; before leaving him to head over to the few bags and a pup bed that'd been brought there for them.

"I'm just glad you weren't too badly hurt from your unexpected parasailing adventure." Katie mentioned, bending down to pick a bag up, and proceed to set it on the cart they'd brought with them that Rocky had built for the occasion.

"Yeah,.. thank goodness.." Chase sighed, another shiver running up his spine. Especially when he recalled telling about it just a week earlier.. leading up to the choice they'd made against his own preferences..

"Hey pups, what took you?" Ryder asked, the group having finally returned from their earlier escapades with Katie and Farmer Yumi in tow. "Katie said something about you needing to rush off on a rescue?"

"Um,.. yeah,.. uh,.. about that.." Marshall began slightly, cocking his glance over to Snowflake, hoping she'd have an idea of what to say.

"More like saving the parachute so it wouldn't cause more trouble," Snowflake chimed in.

"Apparently Chase got blown away with the parachute and got stuck in a tree." Marshall went on.

"What?!" The four humans of the group gasped.

"Was this after you left my farm?" Farmer Yumi wondered.

"Long after.." Rocky answered her. "See.. Rubble and I headed to Town Hall where we met up with Zuma and Ned, who was already there waiting for us when we got there. The three of us pups joined him in cleaning up the area, while Skye, Marshall, Snowflake, and Chester headed up to Jake's mountain to help Everest with a.. bit of tree trouble.."
