Unexpected

Chapter 9: He Introduces Himself

"I think it is time to reveal yourself.  Nothing has been happening the past few days and I need to set our plan in motion.  I didn't want to resort to this, but sitting around doing nothing is changing nothing," The boss says to the mysterious figure.  "I know boss and that's why you're sending me out on Plan B right?," The mysterious figure asks as he stays in the bush.  "Yes I am sending you out to do Plan B.  Thankfully your collar is safe with me.  Just make sure to stay safe.  Don't need another tragedy like last time."  The Boss says as to them. "Don't worry boss, we've rehearsed this a bunch of times, it will work," The mysterious figure reassures the boss before signing off and walking out of the bush.  Little did they know that a certain dalmatian was walking by and they bumped into each other.  

"Woah, sorry didn't see you there.  I was in my own world for a second.  Hopefully I didn't hurt you," Marshall says to the mysterious figure.  "Uh, no worries.  I'm perfectly okay heh," They say as they smile a bit.  "Phew, that's a relief.  I would've hated to have taken you to the hospital wing of the Lookout to take care of you.  As my duty as an EMT, I handle a lot of procedures.  Would be embarrassing to say I injured you and had to take care of you," The Dally admits as he smiles too.  "Say, what is your name?" "Oh, my name is Copycat heh," Copycat says as he continues to smile.  "That's a pretty cool name.  My name is Marshall, you've probably heard about the Paw Patrol and me," Marshall says as he giggles to himself.  "Oh, trust me, everyone knows about you guys.  You're all over the news and what not," Copycat says with a lighthearted giggle.

The pair continue to chat as the rest of the team walks out of the Lookout and notices them talking.  Curious about this, they all walk over to them and decide they should introduce ourselves.  Smiling, Marshall and Copycat happily stop their conversation to turn their attention to the others.  "Ah I know all of you.  You're Zuma, Rocky, Rubble, Chase, Skye, and Ryder.  It's a pleasure to meet all of you.  My name is Copycat if you're at all curious," Copycat says with a smile.  "Well, it's a pleasure to meet you Copycat," Ryder says with a smile as he kneels down to give Copycat some pets.  "You look to be a stray cat.  Need a place to stay?" The teen asks to the cat.  "You'd really let me stay here?" Copycat asks as he looks at Ryder.  "Of course, no dog or cat should ever be left behind," Ryder says with a smile.  "I'll accept, since I have nowhere else to be. I don't even have an owner," Copycat says as he is clearly lying, but the others don't know that.  "We'll be glad to have you in our home," Ryder says with a big smile as he picks up the cat.  Copycat doesn't mind as he keeps smiling.  "This is going to be fun," The boss says as he can see and hear everything, the rest just don't know it.

As the day goes on, the day being April 27th, everyone shares somethings about their lives.  Copycat smiles from all the information and even is told about Marshall and Rocky's relationship.  Little do they know he already knows most of this stuff as he's been spying on them ever since he found out Marshall and Rocky have been together.  Anyway, Copycat is currently being outfitted with a collar with the help of Rocky and Ryder.  "And... there.  What do you think Copycat?" Ryder asks as he clips the collar together.  Copycat looks at himself in the mirror and smiles.  The collar is black with a purple cat tag that has a paw on it.  "I love it, can't believe I'm owned by you now," Copycat says as he rubs against Ryder's leg.  "Hehe glad to hear it.  Thanks for helping with this Rocky," Ryder says with a smile.  "Anytime Ryder, I love helping with projects like this," Rocky says as he smiles too.

Now outfitted with a collar, Copycat decides to put a bit more of his plan into action.  He walks out of the room he was in to find Marshall.  Which isn't very hard to do because he was waiting outside the door.  "Wow Copycat, that is a snazzy collar," Marshall compliments with a smile.  "Hehe, well thank you Marshall.  I really appreciate the compliment.  May not be a Paw Patrol member, but at least I can live with you guys," The cat say as he giggles.  "Yeah, let's go to my pup house.  I know I showed you around already, but we can hang out in there," Marshall says with a big smile.  Copycat agrees and trails behind Marshall.  He walks behind the Dalmatian out of his hearing zone and thinks to himself.  "Perfect, now to set my plan into more motion," Copycat thinks to himself with a cheeky grin on his face.  He then hurries up to be next to the Dalmatian and nuzzles against him.  "Hehe wow, didn't know you were taking that much of a liking to me," Marshall say as he giggles.  "How can I not with an awesome guy like you?" Copycat asks as he giggles too.  "Yeah you're right, I am pretty awesome.  I have a great boyfriend, amazing friends, food, a roof over my head, and a duty to keep the town safe," Marshall says proudly.  

A couple minutes later the pair reach Marshall's pup house and smiles.  "You first Copycat, new guests deserve to go inside before me," Marshall says.  "Why thank you my friend.  You're such a gentleman," Copycat says with a smug grin that Marshall doesn't notice.  The cat walks inside and is still stunned by everything.  "Gosh, it's such an honor to be in your presence dude.  I always knew you would have the coolest place to be," Copycat says as he compliments Marshall on his pup house.  "Hehe thanks dude, it means a lot to me.  Say how about we...," Marshall's sentence is cut off as Copycat licks his face.  "Heh nah, none of that boring stuff.  I prefer to play in a different way," Copycat says smugly as he smirks.  "B...but I can't dude... I have a boyfriend and... I can't break his heart like that," Marshall says nervously not knowing Rocky is almost to his pup house and begins to hear everything.  "Oh come on, you don't want a cat like me?" Copycat says as he rubs his body all around Marshall.  "Um...Uh..." The Dally can hardly make out words as Rocky is now two feet from his door.  "Don't worry, we can start slow," Copycat says as he kisses Marshall on the lips.

Rocky suspicious of everything he heard walks inside Marshall's pup house.  "Hey guys, is everything...," The mix breed stops his sentence as he sees Copycat kissing Marshall, not knowing that Marshall is trying to break the kiss.   Marshall finally pushes Copycat off of him and turns to face Rocky.  "Don't even say anything Marshall.  I heard it all.  I may not have the same hearing as you and Chase, but I could hear this just fine.  You...I can't believe you would do this to us...," Rocky says as tears start to form in his eyes while Copycat is crushed by what he had just done.  Why did his boss have to make him do this?  "But Rocky it's not what you think," Marshall says.  "Don't give me that shit!!!  I saw you kissing Copycat!!!  I thought we had a thing!!!," Rocky says as he yells and begins to cry.  "No, you don't understand dude.  Copycat kissed me and advanced onto me," Marshall says as he goes over and hugs Rocky.  Rocky shoves Marshall off of him and slaps him in the face.  "Don't lie to me!!!  I saw what I saw!!  I'm calling Mr. Porter to cancel our date!!  We're through, do you hear me?!?!?!!  THROUGH!!!!," Rocky screams as he runs out of Marshall's pup house crying heavily.  

This hits Marshall like a ton of bricks as he begins to cry too.  "Copycat...why?" The Dally asks as he turns, but sees Copycat is gone.  "FUCK!!! What have I done?" Marshall asks himself as he curls into a ball and continues to cry.  Meanwhile Copycat is now riding in the car with his boss.  "I...I can't believe I just did that," Copycat says dejectedly to his boss.  "It's for the better trust me.  We don't need any gay dogs running around here.  That's the last thing this town needs," The boss says as he smiles.  Copycat says nothing as he just stares out the window thinking he needs to escape but can't right now.  He must wait for the right time.
