Shattered

"Planned and also Worried." (Chapter 3)

Marshall on his puphouse, devastatedly crying, uncontrollably cannot hold back tears. Inside of his puphouse, there are some ripped pictures of the three pups who besides him, Zuma, Rocky, and Rubble.

He regretted befriended them as they told them the truth on how they feel when he is around.

Someone knocked at his puphouse, he wipes off his tears and answered. "Who..is..it..?" "It's us, Marshall, Chase and Skye." It was the two pups who besided him on the incident. "Oh.." the dally said it in, rather upset tone. "..what do you want..?"

"Marshall, we know your background and we also understand your clumsiness. It's just.. those pups never understand how kind and helpful you are." The cockapoo stated, giving the dally himself a small gein after hearing those words. "Will you please come out, Marshall?" Chase said in a calm tone. Huh? Skye questioned herself, Chase doesn't have soft-side when it comes to this.

The dally opened the door on his puphouse, facing the cockapoo and the shepherd, the two notice that he had something under his eyes, maybe he can't stop crying after that incident happen.

"Marshall, are you really ok? Your eyes seems red." Skye asked. "Huh? Oh, I..uh.." a gush of wind wooshes just slowly, it makes the ripped pictures flew outside too.

Skye and Chase looked at all the ripped pictures of Marshall. "Marshall.. I.." can't find the words, the shepherd looked at his best friend, worried about all of this picture. "Why did you tore all of this apart, Marsh?" "Because I hate them! That's why!!" The shepherd took 2 steps back from the dally, he never really see him with that expression, just laughs and jokes on his own personality.

"I'm sorry.." the dally whined, earning a hug from the cockapoo. "That's alright, Marshall. You just let your anger out and you might let it out from the wrong person, or pup." The cockapoo stated, earning a small grin. "Hey, Marshall smiled." The shepherd notices that Marshall smiled a little so he also smiles, appreciating what Skye did.

"Th-thank you, guys." Marshall sheded a tear. Skye noticed there was tears and wipes it off. "Come on, Marshall. Don't cry, we're here to help you." Skye smiled. Marshall's smile increases slowly.

"How about we go to Mr. Porter's and have something to eat? So that you will forget everything that happened." The shepherd offered. "That's a great idea, Chase!" Skye stated, looked at Marshall after. "Come on, Marshall, it's Chase's treat." Skye laughs, earning a suprised face by Chase. "What.. I thought- ugh! Nevermind. Ok, my treat." Chase rolled his eyes on the cockapoo. Skye sticks her tongue out to him.

For Marshall, seeing their fights as friends, makes him grateful that he had friends who understands him even with his clumsiness. "Ok, come on, stop with your fights, and let's go!"

The three pups was about to go but one of them hault to his track. "Chase, what are you standing there? Come on!" The dally asked, he responded.. "Should we tell Ryder we are going to Porter's?"

"Of course, you can, pups." Earning a suprise from the three. It was their owner, Ryder. "I mean, after that 'incident'." Ryder quote the last word of his sentence, earning him a nod to the three. "You can go to Porter's if you like, but be here whenever there is trouble, got it?" He added. The three pups jumped on him, causing Ryder to fell down and earns some licks.

"Ok, ok, that tickles!" The three pups gets off of Ryder. "Thanks, Ryder!" Said in unison. They've walked down the road, and the boy.. well, he just smiled.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Under the sun's ray, the three walked peacefully towards the café, having their little chit-chat, laughters, until they reached their destination.

"Heya, pups!" They were greeted by the owner of the café, including his grandson, Alex.
"Hello, Mr. Porter, Alex." The dally smiled at the two humans. "So what do you need, pups?" Mr. Porter asks the three pups. "Well, Mr. Porter, this order will be Chase's treat, so we will have 3 strawberry cakes, and 2 lemon juice and 1 pineapple juice." The man listed on what the cockapoo's statement. "Ok, coming right up! Please take a table to wait for your orders, pups!"
"Thank you, Mr. Porter!" The pups said in unison and went to their table.

"I didn't know u knew my preffered juice, Skye." The dally was suprised a few seconds ago when they were ordering. The cockapoo giggled, responded.. "well, I always see you drink Pineapple juice everytime u drank one. So yeah, I knew." Rolling her eyes playfully.

Marshall looked at Chase, and to his point of view, Chase was.. admiring.. so lovely..? Marshall thinks it was weird, because the shepherd never actually looking at them, drooling crazy and staring.

"Chase..?" The dally called, came back to reality with the shepherd. "You're acting weird. Are you even ok?" The cockapoo stated, looking at Chase with the.. weird facial expression.

"Oh, uh, nothing and yea, i'm fine.. hehe." A pink scarlet hue was seen, he was embarrassed after looking at the dally like, crazy. Chase, u a weirdo, to be honest. Skye thought.

Mr. Porter walked to the table where the three pups are, holding 3 strawberry cakes and some juice. "Here ya go, pups! Strawberry cakes and juices! Bon appetit!" "Thank you, Mr. Porter!" The man smiled and goes back to the kitchen to work on something.

"Dang, I would come back here ad eat this again!" Marshall munched and munched until his plate is now empty. "Marshall, you ate the whole cake for just a minute? How you do it?" The dally giggled, while the shepherd blush a bit after hearing the dally's giggling.

"It's a secret..?" Marshall laughs, so as Skye. "Aww.. I badly wanna know." Puppy eyes mode for Skye.
They continued to have their friendship talks, about all of happening and what will happen in the future.

"We'll be going now, Mr. Porter!" The shepherd stated to the man. "Ok, thanks for stopping by and come again!" "We will!"

The three walks towards the lookout. Chase and Skye had a conversation about Marshall, while Marshall is on their back, remembering what the others said, but he didn't hear the two's conversation.

"I didn't know Marshall can eat the cake for literal a minute." The cockapoo stated, earning a big smile from the shepherd. "That's Marshall if you see him that way." He giggled, and also a but of a blush was shown. Skye notices why Chase is a little bit red, but similar to the dally's firetruck. "Chase, uh.. don't mind if I ask but, why are you red as Marshall's firetruck."

The shepherd showed red onto his whole face, clearly for Skye, she obviously shocked that his big bro has a 'love interest' towards the dally.

"Woah! Didn't know you were into dalmatians!" Skye nudges Chase, he was redder than before. "Sh-shut up! He's here! Don't talk about it!" The shepherd blurted out, Skye just laughs.

"So when are you gonna tell him?"
"I don't know.. soon..?"
"Wha.. Chase, you have to tell him about your feelings surrounds to your heart. If you don't, well, clearly, someone will took him as his/her new mate." The cockapoo stated to the shepherd.
"I'm still nervous to tell him even if he is around."

Skye and Chase had their little arguments about the shepherd falling for a dalmatian.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While with Marshall, he still thinks about what the others said. He didn't move on about what they said to him. Maybe if I run away and never come back, the Paw Patrol might be in peace. No more clumsiness dally like me can mess around in such. I mean, I'm always clumsy.. huh. The dally planned to run away for them to have peace and no more messing up the things that he totally blew it up.

It's final, I am gonna run away tonight, when the clock struck at midnight. The dally decided, but remembered Chase, Skye and Ryder, who would be heartbroken after he ran away.

I have to. I'm sorry, Ryder.. Chase.. and Skye.. the dally sighed, went to his puphouse and goes to his slumber.
