Paw Patrol : Procrastinated

Chapter 5

It was early in the morning. The last 5 days for the pups was a handful. Marshall's nose, the barkingburg adventure, and Everest moving in. Rocky wasn't really getting anywhere with Skye while Everest and Marshall blasted off. Zuma bragged about his recent success with Ella. Chase had been working to get a grip on the situation with the robberies. While they were all busy one wasn't. Rubble hadn't been doing anything besides help Katie watch over Marshall. After that he sorta sat around. Some of the pups were anxious about the dance. Mainly the 3 that had planned on going. "Chase! I need to speak to ya!" Ryder calls out from his office. Chase sprinted up the stairs. Ryder had been a trying to help stop the bandits. "What is it?"
"They struck again last night." Ryder sighed.
"Where at?" Chase asked.
"The town hall... 3 paintings were taken." Ryder replies looking at their board.
The two didn't have much information. Only that the robbers aren't new to the breaking in thing, they left almost nothing. Another thing they had was that it was a trio of robbers. "I think we should get help from those detectives you met in barkingburg." Ryder suggested.
"nonono, I'm begging you to do anything but call them. I made a fool out of myself last time." Chase said as he briefly returned to those horrid moments.
"Okay... if you want to go check out the scene you can." Ryder said.
"I will." Chase replied.

"Do you guys wanna go see what the twins are up too?" Zuma asked.
"Where would we even find them?" Rocky asked.
"I find them at the park most of the time. They are always doing crazy stuff. I caught them trying to surf in the cold water. They said it was for the memes. I went on my way." Chase said as he puts in his vest and police cap. Zuma thought about it more. Ella could be the one. All of his past dates he just threw out because they either moved away or Zuma wasn't there enough. Zuma didn't care too much. It was becoming an issue for him. He didn't want to get too attached.
"I'm heading out, see ya later." Chase said.

"1 week and 2 days till the Christmas ball!" Skye said raising her pitch.
"Must really want to go to it." Rocky said.
Skye couldn't force herself to not want to go. Nothing would be able to stop her. "Who doesn't want to go?" Skye replied.
"I don't have anyone to go with." Rubble butted in.
"None of us do." Marshall says.
They all agreed besides Zuma. "Are you hiding something?" Rocky asked.
Zuma didn't feel like getting interrogated but a bunch of his friends. "Wright, you didn't notice me. When we were being back the plow I decided to ask Ella while we dwove by." Zuma explained.
"So that's what took so long..." Rocky said.
"Well...." Skye said.
"Well what?"
"What did she say you pinhead." Everest said in annoyance. She didn't know why she was invested in this. She didn't have that great of a relationship with the twins. They weren't in bad terms or anything. Just didn't talk much.
"I know you're like a couple yeawrs older than me but why should I tell you? You're not my oldew sisters or bwothers." Zuma says as he tries to keep them away from him and Ella. If they found he that she agreed he would never hear the end of it.
"Don't make us get it from you." Rocky and Rubble said as they start to circle Zuma.
"Fine, uhh she said yes. I thought it was going to be easier but I stuttewed a lot." Zuma says
Rocky started to rethink Zuma's decision. "Don't you think that mean? You kinda break every girls heart." He asks.
Zuma knew he had a point. Zuma felt different about Ella though. "Ella is special. None of those giwls could do what she does. Like suwfing, I don't see Skye and Evewest doing that." Zuma said.
"He has a point. Everest and Skye don't surf." Marshall said
"Can she snowboard down a mountain?" Everest asked.
" Can we talk about anything else? Like the twip to barkingbuwg" Zuma asks.
"We weren't even there." Skye said.
"What do we talk about then? Everyone else in this woom are clearly twyung to sort things out for the dance and you won't say anything." Zuma sighed. He was the only one talking. Zuma was by far the most confident pup out of all of them.
None of the pups replied. They knew he was right. "We can build a snow man!" Rubble said Rubble suggested.
"See! Wubble has good ideas!" Zuma said.
They all headed to the snow covered front yard. It has been a couple of days since they all did something as a team. It felt somewhat natural without Chase and Ryder there.

Chase walked around the broken window. He tried to look for any clues. After 20 minutes of searching he starts to give up. "Hey Chase!" Gasket says.
"Hey Gasket." Chase sighed.
At least he had company when gasket was around. She always seemed to be there when Chase was searching the crime scene. "You seem upset. What's wrong?" Gasket asked.
"I think I'm starting to get in over my head." Chase said.
"What's this?" Gasket said looking at the floor.
Chase looked in the same area and can see a strand of dark fur. "Thank you!" Chase shouts. He gave gasket a hug.
Chases happiness blew over. "Sorry, I was a little excited and-
"It's fine." Gasket innocently smiled.
Chase looked down towards the floor to hide his face for the time being.
"Me and you V.S. The adventure bay robbers! It sounds cool." Gasket says as she gives Chase a light punch.
"Well now I know that one of the suspect has black fur." Chase said looking back up.
"Anyways, I have to go." Gasket says as she turns around.
"I'll go with you, I'm not doing anything else." Chase offered.
"Sure, you could be some good company. You must have a a lot of stories to tell." Gasket said.
"Yeah actually, we went to barkingburg a couple days ago. We stopped her pup from stealing her pink diamond. In return she gave us a smaller version of it. Just not pink." Chase said.
Gasket ears perked up. "You guys have a diamond?" She asked.
"Yeah, don't tell anyone. It could be our little secret." Chase smiled.
"Alright... what are your plans for the valentines dance." Gasket asked.
"I don't have any, I'm just going to stay at the lookout. Also don't you mean the Christmas ball"
"Right." She chuckled. "Maybe.... me and you could work something out." Gasket says as nervously chuckles.
"Really?"
"Yeah. You can't be that bad." She assured.
"I mean it's a week and 2 days from now. We can spend some time hanging out." Chase said.
"Sure."
Chase noticed he was getting closer to the wrong side of town. "I'll stop here, it kinda sucks there no other police officers here. This place is.... I don't know if ghetto it the right word. It's unsafe." Chase said.
"All right, see ya later officer." Gasket said dragging her tail under Chases jaw.
He was was going down a hole anyone would've went down. (Don't take that the wrong way)

"AAAAAND time!" Zuma yells as everyone gets onto their fours.
"We need some judges."
Just then Ryder and Katie drive into the garage. "Hey pups, nice snowmen"! Katie compliments.
"Can you judge them out of ten?" Zuma asks looking at the row of snowmen.
"Sure!" Katie agreed. She ran over to each snowman and looked mainly at their decorations.
By the end Marshall's snowman was on the ground, Rubble was soaking in his first place, while everyone else rolled in snow.
Chase parked his cruiser in his spot. It turned into a dog house.
There wasn't much in the pups dog houses. During the transformation from vehicle to house and vice versa, everything gets mixed around and messy.
Chase put the piece of fur in a baggy and dropped it in Ryder's office. On his way back out he heard a quick suction cup like noise from the kitchen.
"Did you two just kiss?" He says as he turned the corner. Doesn't matter who it was there was going to be two people in there.
In there was Ryder and Katie hugging each other. Ryder gave Chase a powerful and meaningful look to "get away" he also motioned him to leave as Katie let out a sob.
Chase slowly backed up to not interrupt the "moment."
"Phew!"
Marshall ran up to Chase, tail wagging a feet jumping. "I think I've figured out everyone's date. Besides Rubble." Marshall said.
"Let's hear it." Chase said.
Marshall stopped. He couldn't give away his precious information. He could tease Chase though. "I won't tell you but I know you've been talking to a certain husky. Not Everest just some slightly un-prettier husky." Marshall chuckled.
"What can I say, she's around the crime scene when I get there." Chase said.
"Imagine if she's the burglar." Marshall joked.
"For all we know you could be hitting those places." Chase joked back.
"You really think I can break into a place? Thanks! Plus it was a joke! Don't get all defensive of her." Marshall said.
Chase sighed. His attempts at comebacks were always a fail.
