Paw patrol: Glory and Thrill

Chapter 5

Ryder tosses some clothes in a suitcase while Chase is by his side. "How long till you get back?" Chase questions.
Ryder sighed. "I've said it before I'll say it again. I'm not sure." He said as he just about finished. Chase still had questions. "Are you sure you can get home with with criminal? What if they don't allow it? Do you ne-
-Chase! Don't worry about me. I'm going to be fine. Why is that you'll do anything I say like 'go jump off the bridge' don't do that. But when I going to go pick someone up you get all defensive." Ryder questions. He started to think he messed up by raising his voice.
Chase looks at Ryder with honest eyes. "I don't know what I would do without you. If you're gone who leads the team? So many gaps open up." Chase replied.
Ryder sighed now feeling bad at his ignorance towards Chase. "I'm not going to go missing. Even if I did you guys are smart enough to lead yourselves by now. Look, I have to catch my flight." Ryder said showing Chase his watch. Chase nodded and they both went downstairs. At the bottom was every pup besides the twins and Tracker. "Alright pups! I'll be heading out now. See ya and love y'all!" Ryder says giving his temporary goodbyes. "Who's in charge?" Rocky asked hoping it would be him.
"Uh... Chase." He said before walking out.
Skye rolled her eyes. "Of course."
"What.." Chase scoffed.
Everest gave him a death stare. "You suck up to him the most." She said.
Chase was going to object but she's right. "Yeah but I don't that much." He defended.
Most of the pups shook their heads. "No you do. I've never seen an argument where you come out on top. You always end up agreeing with him." Rocky said.
Chase shook his head. "No...."
"Yeah dude." Zuma agreed.
Marshall was confused on why everyone was so...mean all of a sudden. "Guys give him a break. He's been the temporary leader before. What's the issue?" He questioned.
"Ryder never lets anyone else get a chance to prove themselves." Rocky replied.
Chase looked at Rocky with confused eyes. He was internally fuming at Rocky's statement. He didn't know how hard and annoying it is to lead the team. Especially when they all have an attitude. "Fine then, I'll let you lead until you come crawling back to me for help." Chase smirked as he held out a paw. Rocky accepted it. "Bring it." He replied.
"So.... what do I do the just sit here like you?" He insulted. The pups decided to take advantage of the new leader. "Hey Rocky can I go out onto the beach? It's 2 so I'll be back at 4!" Zuma asked excitedly. Normally Chase would say yeah but if he stayed out any longer than 20 minutes past the agreed time Chase would have hunted him down. "Sure, be back by 4 though." Rocky agreed.
"I can get used to this." He cockily spoke with a smile.
Chase rolled his eyes and looked towards Marshall. "Wanna hang out? I'm free of my duties for now." Chase said taking advantage of his free time.
Marshall shrugged and nodded.
"Woah woah woah! Where are you going? I thought we were gonna hang out?" Rocky questions.
"That's kinda inconsiderate don't you think?" Marshall asked.
"How?"
"You're ignoring most of the pups just so we can play." Marshall explained.
Rocky was kinda hurt by this. "Yeah but Chase does that too...." he objected.
"Well he keeps tabs on everyone. Where they are, where they plan on going, who they're with. He mentally keeps us down it's weird." Everest said shivering at the thought of him know everyone's schedules. She didn't think Ryder knew that stuff.
"I'll just make sure everyone stays here. Besides Zuma he already left." Rocky spoke.
He instantly received backlash from a couple of pups. "That's not fair!" Everest objected.
"Yeah! How come Zuma gets to leave!" Skye added
"Skye...."
"I know we're dating but I can still be annoyed. If anything I should get extra privileges." Skye said.
Rubble jumped in when she brought up unfairness. "Hey hey hey! Just because you're dating doesn't mean you get special privileges. You should equal like everyone else!" Rubble objected.
"He's right." Everest agreed.
Skye looked at Everest with betrayed eyes. "Oh don't complain. You did the exact same thing to Rocky!" Everest said.
Rocky looked at the three argue while Chase and Marshall played tug of war.
Marshall was a little concerned at the state of the pups. "What if Rocky does come crawling back?" Marshall asked letting go of the rope making Chase fall onto his back.
"Ow!" He grunted.
"Sorry, if he does come back how will you get the other pups?" Marshall finished.
"I know I said I'll let Rocky lead but I'm still making sure everyone is fine. Either Rocky isn't fit for the job or the others will ask me to lead again. Win win either way." Chase explained. Marshall nodded showing he agreed with Chase's plan.
"Okay!" Rocky shouted. It had no effect. He walked into the middle and separated the pups by paw. "Okay! You guys can do whatever you want!" He exclaimed.
"Really?" Everest asked as her ears perked up.
"Go for it. Just get to the lookout alive." Rocky sighed.
Everest and Skye ran out leaving him and Rubble in the room. "Jeez you guys make this difficult." Rocky sighed and took a seat. "This is what Chase does and he doesn't complain." Rubble replied.
"Rocky scoffed. I can do this easy."
