Chase's POV:
I sat in the shade of a tree near the lookout. I signed quietly. There's a secret I kept for years and never told anyone. I have a crush on my best friend, Marshall. Though I know I'll never win his heart. I think he's straight. If I confess to him, he'll definitely reject me and stop being friends with me. I really don't want that to happen so the secret stayed in my heart.
I went to my pup house. I kept a diary in there. That's where I write all the things about Marshall everyday. I stick lots of pictures there too. And every time I see his face, I feel like fainting. He's just perfect. The sweet smile on his face, the funny jokes and puns he makes, and the adorable clumsiness he has. They charm me, always.
I hid my diary under my pillow, where lots of other stuff are hiding, like photos and drawings of my crush. I have a photo book for all the pictures of me and Marshall together, for example the picture I took at the park, where we tumbled onto the ground into a pile. Those were such great memories. Suddenly, I heard footsteps outside my pup house so I quickly tucked the photo book under my pillow. I walked out to see who it was. It was just Ryder. He asked me why I was inside my pup house for so long and won't play with the other pups. I stuttered, "Oh, uh, I was j-just tidying, yeah tidying stuff, heh." Ryder tilted his head and said, "Chase? Um, are you sure?" I sighed and clamped my tail between my legs. I replied, "No..." And I led Ryder into my pup house. He had to squeeze in, which made me giggle a bit. Well, he couldn't fit in entirely, so his legs were still outside. I turned and pulled out my diary and photo book then pushed them to Ryder. He looked at them and immediately understood. He crawled out carefully and took the items with him. He said, "Chase, come to my room." I gulped and followed him.

Extras:
Skye ran and caught the frisbee before it landed onto Chase's pup house. She saw Ryder's legs poking out of the pup house and dragged Everest to see it. Skye asked with a weird look on her face, "Um, what is Ryder doing?" Everest giggled and replied, "Whatever he's doing, I have no idea what."
