7:46 am, Saturday December 17, Chase's Mustang Cobra

As Chase drove down Burland Street he rested his left paw on his left leg tapping it to no particular beat. He turned the corner of 26th and Burland and slowed down as he drove down the road. He parked his car in the driveway of a red Dodge Demon, of which he parked behind. He got out of the car, locked it, and stared up at the house it was a dark grayish-black color and wasn't very big, unlike the houses around it. Chase began walking up the pathway littered with chalk drawings clearly done by puppies. He approached the door and knocked. Everest opened the door. "Chase!" She shouted as she gestured into the house. "We weren't expecting company" She said with a smile. "Hey." He said as he walked into the kitchen. From which he saw three puppies eating french toast drowned in syrup in the dining room. "I thought you guys didn't have kids yet." Chase said turning around back to Everest. "Oh yeah, no we don't my nephews were staying over, my sister is coming at 12 to pick them up. At that moment Marshall came down the stairs in plaid fleece pants. "Valorous m'rning mine own l'rd." Marshall said bowing at Chase. "Valorous m'rning." Chase bowed back. "Sup babe." Marshall said casually staring at his coffee pot. He walked over, kissed Everest on the cheek, and poured a cup of coffee. He walked over to stand next to Chase. "So, for what reason art we grace with your presence on this valorous morn?" Marshall asked. "If indeed tis your business I shall speak of my accord. I come seeking counsel." "Forth what quarrel?" "Today I have to go to court and I need some advice man, I haven't been to court in years and I've never bought property I live in an apartment." "It's not hard, I mean the actual deal. You don't need to worry, this whole case will go over fast and well." "Thanks." "Hey Marshall," Everest broke in, "how exactly do you know how this will work?" "The secrets of marriage" Marshall said putting an arm around Chase. "So you two are married now?" Everest chuckled."I know," Marshall kissed Chase on the cheek, "it's legal in Nevada!" Marshall said in a high pitched, light voice and a leg raised behind him. "Don't EVER do that again." Chase said with a disgusted look. "Well not with that attitude." Marshall said back in the same voice. "Alright, thanks for the 'counsel', but I really should be going." Chase said thumbing toward the door. "Alright well, pop over anytime. You take care now." Marshall said waving good-bye.

9:30 am, Saturday, Adventure City Courthouse

As Chase pulled into the courthouse parking lot, there was a slew of people surrounding his car and the Courthouse. When he finally parked he was just barely able to exit his car. People were pushing him from every angle and side, his suit being slid around on him, he could hardly move. Suddenly some police arrived to control the crowds. As the crowd parted Chase walked through and up toward the courthouse. When the proceeding started people calmed. "Alright welcome to the hearing of... Paw Patrol Tower?" The judge began. "Yes your honor." Kyle said. "Well alright, let's begin." The judge said slapping her gavel on her desk. The court settled and Kyle began addressing the Judge. "Your Honor I would like to begin by bringing up my first defense and first piece of evidence, the deed to the tower. Now your honor in the deed to the tower states and I quote, 'In the occasion that the Tower be taken out of hands of the lease owner: Zachary Ryder Jr. the Tower is to be given to the being of the lease owner's decision.' " Kyle Presented firmly and gave a confident smile and wink to Chase as he gave his conclusion to his proof. "Your honor I'd like to present Marshall Rubble Rocky Zuma and Skye," he said gesturing to the five dogs in the stands, "who all five witnessed Mr. Ryder sign Chase to be that being of his choice, I call up Marshall." Kyle made his way over to the seat next to the judge. They swore him in and Kyle simply asked, "Marshall when you witnessed the signing of the deed did you hear or see Ryder choose a specific pup to be the owner after him?" Kyle straitened out his brown comb over and smugly looked at Marshall. "Well," Marshall began, "yes he did." Marshall said enthusiastically. Over the next ten minutes Kyle called up the pups and asked the same question and they all gave the same answer as Marshall. "Alright I've seen and heard enough, Chase, I do believe this is enough evidence to say you are the true owner of the Paw Patrol Tower." She slammed her gavel against her desk and just like that their dreams were coming true.

10:00 am Chase and Skye's Apartment

"YEAH WOOO!!!"

Chase's apartment was filled with loud cheers and clinking glasses. Marshall put an arm over Chase's shoulders. "MAN! You did it. You just made a lot of people happy and," Marshall began as he turned to face Chase and stop walking, "well to be honest, I hadn't been feeling to hot 'bout myself for quite some time, but you know what, since you came to me with that crazy idea, I've really turned around." He said with a big grin on his face. "Thank you. Now lets get wasted!" He added and turned to the big cooler filled with beer. Chase walked over and grabbed one too. "Hey Rocky!" Yelled a voice from across the party. "Rocko!" It yelled again. "Zuma!" Rocky said squeezing past people until he got to him. "Man am I glad to see you." Rocky said. leaning against the wall standing next to Zuma. "For real?" "Yeah, I... try not to be around this many people, especially ones I don't know." "Social Anxiety?" "Yeah." "Its okay I get it, I got my own forms of Anxiety, so I get it little bit more than some." "Thanks. You know I'm not doin' nothin' after this if later... you might wanna...- "I'd love to get lunch. Debbie's Diner 12 0'clock work?" "Yeah." "Alright it's a date then. See you then. Bye." "...Bye." Zuma said walking away. Chase walked over to Kyle and saw a small child with him. "Chase my man my man. How you feelin'?" Kyle asked proudly swinging his beer around. "I'm gonna be blunt whichya, I feel pretty fuckin' great. " Chase said and clinked glasses with Kyle. "You know what..." Kyle looked around, "BUDDY! Come on over 'ere." Kyle said loudly waving his hand. Suddenly through the crowd of people out popped a little boy a little bit taller than Chase was 13 years ago. "Well I'll be damned." Chase said offering a fist bump to the kid. The kid did so and smiled big. "This is Connor, you know mine and Marisa's favorite movie is Terminator 2 so figured, why not name him Connor." Kyle said patting Connor on the back. "Well good for you two, how old is he?" Chase asked taking a sip of beer. "He's six now. Damn time flies." "I know whatcha mean. You take care now." "You too."
