25 | Adventure Bay's Christmas Time

As the night started to surround the small town and sync its inhabitants to a slumber, snow began to set in and cover the town with it's white, soft blanket, quickly covering on the rooftops of the houses and eventually leading to the one and only, Lookout Tower.

As the pups were sleeping in their small houses, the owner, the one who took in the pups and started the whole team, was in the top floor of the massive tower, organizing some of the festive decorations as the boy was close to hitting the hay and letting the night go on. He climbed onto a small stool, using the height advantage to hang up a wreath and, secretly, a mistletoe for the pups. He knew how some of the pups felt to each other sometimes, so he figured this could help them out, relationship wise or not. Upon hanging the mistletoe and moving toward the large screen that displayed information, he glanced at the beautiful sight of the town in front of him. He saw Town Hall, the bell of the place ringing as the next hour just started. Shifting his eyes towards the bay, it was abruptly cut as he saw the Pet Parlor that belonged to his close and dear friend. A short smile cracked from the boy as he hopped off the stool and headed off to bed, letting thoughts rummage around in his mind.

Ryder and the pups had a lot to work around with this time of year, they always helped out decorating the town, mainly Town Hall, due to the fact that there would always be a Christmas party but this time it was going to be different. Yes, everyone in the town was going to be there, but also the Princess of Barkingburg along with her little mischievous pup. Ryder hoped that just this once, the royal Terrier decided to leave her mischievous ways alone, at least for another time. If anything, he had faith in his Shepherd friend that he would be able to handle her, in case she tried anything.

Not letting the thoughts halt his rest anymore, the boy drifted off into slumber, letting the night pass by and the snow fall towards the town.

As the night passed by, the Princess, the Earl, and the royal pup, Sweetie, were currently arriving to Adventure Bay via train, royal first class at its finest. The Princess was excited to spend time with Ryder and his pups, she truly saw them as friends rather than business associates. Sweetie, on the other ha-paw, despised the pups due to the fact they always foiled her plans, she didn't really hate them that it made her skin crawl, she just found them annoying at times.

"Oh, Sweetie, I hope you're as excited as I am to see Ryder and the pups! The whole town! It's going to be magnificent!" The Princess chirped as the Terrier winced at her loud babbling, still trying to rest as they made their way toward the town.

"I'm...very excited too!" Saying that almost made the Terrier feel ill, she just wanted her owner to be quiet so she can get some sleep.

"Princess, I understand that you are undoubtably excited to see Ryder and the pups but it is best if you have the required rest for tomorrow." The Earl suggested as Sweetie prayed in her head, hoping for the love of pup that the Princess will listen and finally go to sleep.

The Princess agreed as she petted Sweetie, scratching her ear and receiving a wag as a response. "I trust that you will have no quarrel with the Paw Patrol, Sweetie? I really want you to enjoy your time here and get to know everyone here!"

"I would have something planned, Princess, but I'm too tired to keep thinking about it." The Terrier grumbled as she let out a yawn, making the Princess sheepishly smile.

She patted the Terrier's head as she saw her close her eyes, soon lying back in the seat to join her in her slumber. "Sweet dreams, my royal pup." She whispered as the train continued to make it's journey towards the small town.

With the sun rising and the pups doing their morning routine, the crew quickly headed inside the Lookout after realizing that the snow nearly covered their houses overnight. The nearly shivering pups headed inside to be blasted by the heat that was circulating around the entire Lookout. They saw Ryder, who was setting up their breakfast, smiling as he finished filling up the last bowl, as he saw the pups, he pointed at their snow gear that was near the entrance. "Good morning, pups! There's your scarves and earmuffs, come eat breakfast and then you can go have fun outside." The boy smiled as the others approached him, each receiving pets.
