PAW Patrol: A Dalmatian's Reunion || DA Book Two

(C6.2) Family in the City Part Two

Once the other half of the team made it to the lookout, they loaded their vehicles into the Paw Patroller and hopped into their seats. Ryder was sitting beside Robo Dog at the front of the vehicle, as per usual with Marshall, Everest, Chase and Rubble in their usual spots in the vehicle.

"Are all of us packed and ready to move out, pups?" Ryder asked the four pups behind him as one final preparation before they left for Adventure City, and by extension Marshall's family.

The four pups checked behind themselves to see their packed bags in the main area of the Paw Patroller, right where the four of them had left their gear, pup treats and toys.

"Sir yes sir, Ryder!" Chase called out as Ryder told Robo Dog to get the Paw Patroller moving towards Adventure CIty.

"Floor it, Robo Dog!" The leader called out as the large vehicle began moving and the four pups began to howl in celebration, out of the four of them, Marshall's was the most shaky, likely due to nervousness, but the team didn't hold that against them. Who wouldn't be nervous to see their family at so many years?

"Pups, I would get some sleep for now. It's late, and we're hours away from Adventure City. We'll need all of our energy for tomorrow, okay? Robo Dog can take care of the driving," Ryder instructed as he began to feel drowsy.

"That sounds go-" Chase began to reply as he fell asleep, the other three pups quickly following him to the world of restful sleep.

"You're all such good pups. Robo Dog, wake us up when we're in Adventure City, okay?" Ryder instructed his creation as he joined the four pups in their sleep.

Once Ryder had fallen asleep, Robo Dog let out a short bark in acknowledgement of what Ryder asked it to do as it turned its focus back onto the road ahead.

Adventure Bay - Campsite

Meanwhile, Rocky, Zuma, Tracker and Skye were sitting around the fire that Marshall had helped built. The pups had been idly chatting without anything specific in mind, but one topic that the four pups had on their mind was Marshall's family and them visiting.

''So, what does everyone think we could do to help Marshall? He's clearly struggling right now and I want to be able to do something," Rocky asked as he went into his green and blue travel bag and pulled out two bags of marshmallows and a small box of graham crackers, putting a smile on the faces of the team. They were having S'mores, but right now, Rocky's question was running circles in the heads of the four pups at the campsite.

"Rocky I think the best thing we can do is give Marshall and his family the space they need. I'm sure that his family know about his position as a Paw Patrol member and the responsibilities that are a core part of what we do," Skye said, remembering what she went through when her family visited for the first time. Her situation was similar to the one Marshall is now, she had left her family a while ago to pursue what she really wanted, and thought her family would hate her, even shun her for it as she rejected what her family called her destiny and became an aviator instead of a fashion pup like her mom and dad. But fortunately for Skye, when a reunion eventually happened, her family understood her decision as they saw how happy she was being an aviator and a member of the Paw Patrol. Skye could only hope that a similar situation would happen for Marshall.

"Estoy de acuerdo, I agree Skye. Let's just hope his family look at the situation more with their heart and internal logic than raw emotions, this reunion could very easily tear Marshall apart at the seams if things go poorly." Tracker said as Rocky began laying out the ingredients for S'mores with dog safe chocolate and some paper towel out on a table.
