Casey's Adventures Book 1: Casey Joins The PAW Patrol

Chapter 5: The Next Morning

The next morning, I was the first one to wake up. I tried to yawn, only to realize I couldn't open my mouth. I was wearing a muzzle, I had so many questions. Where did it come from? Why am I wearing it? How do I get it off? Why is it so comfortable? Why is part of it in my mouth? I stand up to look for answers, only to realize I had wet my diaper again, and it was heavy. Like I was wearing two of them at once. More questions. Why am I wearing two diapers at once? How badly did I sleep last night? Am I even able to walk like this? I decide to lay back down, and wait for someone else to wake up.

20 minutes later, Ryder woke up. "Good morning, Casey, you didn't sleep so well," Ryder said, kneeling down to comfort me. "Now let's get that muzzle off you, and change your diaper, Huh?" I nodded, and Ryder got to work changing my diaper. I got onto the training pad, and laid on my back again. Ryder pulled the diapers I was wearing off, and threw them away, then pulled a new diaper and the powder from the package. He opened the diaper, put it under my back legs, poured the powder the covered area, pushed the front, and sides of the diaper between my back legs, and taped it shut. "Alright, Casey, I'm done," He said, taking the muzzle off me. "You can get up now." I stood up. "Thanks, Ryder," I said gratefully. "Um, is it okay if I go home one last time, to get some things?" I asked cautiously. "Sure, but how about some breakfast first?" Ryder answered. "OK, Ryder, what does the Pack usually eat?" I asked. "You'll see, but first I have to wake up the others." Ryder answered.

1 hour later, the others woke up. "Morning, Pups. Sleep well?" Ryder asked the others. "Better than Casey." Rubble said snarkily. "That's fow suwe." Zuma added. "Zuma, Rubble, what was that for?" Chase asked. "Are you alright, Casey?" Marshall asked me. "You were having such a bad nightmare, we had to muzzle you to stop the screaming." Chase looked at the muzzle, then at me. "You can keep it if you want, Casey." I looked at Chase confused. "Thank you?" I said, cocking my head to the right. "Chase, why do you have this stuff, and why is it pink?" Skye asked. "I'm not gonna answer the first one, second one, it was an impulse buy and I have a crush on you, Skye." Chase answered, clearly hiding something. "Well, Chase, how about we explore your 'impulse buy' later, OK, Chasey?" Skye asked, knowing Chase was hiding. "Hey, how about you sit next to me while we eat breakfast, OK?" Rocky asked me. "OK, what's for breakfast?" I asked.

Then Ryder got out the Pups' food bowls, and a plain white one for me. After he put them on the ground, he began to fill the bowls with some kind of weird rocks. "You eat rocks?" I asked confused. "It's not rocks," Rocky told me. "It's kibble." I look at Rocky, confused. "What's that? Some kind of field rations?" I asked, sniffing the kibble. "Um, sure." Rocky answered blankly, before eating the kibble in his bowl. "Wait, Ryder," Marshall said, concern in his voice. "Can Werewolves even eat kibble?" He asked. Ryder looked scared at me. "No, we can't. Speaking from experience, here." Ryder said, taking the bowl of kibble away. "Think you can transform again, Casey?" He asked me. "I'll try, Ryder." I said, trying to get my breathing right to start the transformation process.

The process began. I felt the change, I welcomed it. The Light swirled around me, became part of me for just long enough for the transformation to happen. I pushed off the ground with my front paws, and felt my body shift. First my back legs, then my back, and finally my arms and head all shifted into my Hunter Form.

After my transformation, Ryder handed me a sandwich. "Here, Casey, you can eat this for breakfast." He said. "Thanks, Ryder." I said, sniffing the sandwich. It was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I ate it gratefully. After breakfast, the door opened. "Hey, Rocky, you want to help me get some stuff from my old home?" I asked Rocky. "Sure, Casey, I'll help you." Rocky answered. With that Rocky and I went off to my old home to gather what we could.
