They Grow Up Too Fast (Paw Patrol)

Visiting The Ruff Ruff Pack

The Paw Patrol quickly arrived in the desert and began searching for the Ruff Ruff Pack's hideout, which was an abandoned diner.

Ryder: "Alright, pups, if I remember right, the hideout is near a rock formation."

Rubble: "Oh yeah, I remember those rocks. They looked so fun to break, hehe."

Ryder: "Skye, let me know if you spot a beat-down diner."

Skye: "You got it, Ryder!"

Ryder looked up at Skye in her helicopter. Chase glanced at her anxiously, worry creeping into his mind. After a few minutes, Skye spotted the diner.

Skye: "Ryder, I have eyes on the diner. It's right where you said it would be."

Ryder: "Good job, Skye. Find a high point and keep an eye on the exits, just in case they try to run."

Inside the diner, the Ruff Ruff Pack lounged in their hideout, surrounded by a vault full of pup treats. They had been rewarded for completing their task of burning down Adventure Bay's town hall. The group consisted of Gasket, a Siberian husky; Hubcap, a bulldog; and Dwayne, a great Dane.

Gasket: "Oh... this is the life I promised you guys. A semi-decent hideout and all the pup treats we could want. It's paradise."

Hubcap: "I can't believe it was so easy. All I had to do was light a building on fire after everyone got out. Piece of cake."

Dwayne: "But guys, don't you think the Paw Patrol might figure out it was us? I mean, we didn't exactly do it cleanly."

Gasket: "You worry too much, Dwayne. There's no way they'll know it was us. The big guy promised we wouldn't have to worry, remember?"

Hubcap: "Yeah, Dwayne, relax. They have no clue."

Dwayne: "I hope you're right..."

As the Ruff Ruff Pack enjoyed their reward, the Paw Patrol assembled outside, ready to confront them.

Ryder: "Chase, get your megaphone ready. Rocky and Zuma, cover the exits. Skye, keep watch from above. Rubble, get ready to break down the door if needed."

Chase: "Ruff! Megaphone!"

Chase's megaphone extended from his pup pack as he prepared to speak.

Rubble: "Rubble on the double!"

The pups took their positions, and Chase spoke into the megaphone.

Chase: "Ruff Ruff Pack! We know you're inside. Come out and explain why you burned down Adventure Bay's town hall! You could've hurt someone, or worse!"

From her perch, Skye listened to Chase's commanding voice, feeling an unexpected flutter. She quickly pushed the thought aside to focus on the mission. Inside the diner, the Ruff Ruff Pack froze in surprise.

Gasket: "Oh no, is that the Paw Patrol?! We need to get out of here!"

Gasket rushed toward her bike, but Hubcap stopped her, pointing at the window.

Hubcap: "Wait, Gasket. They've got us surrounded. None of us can get away. We're stuck."

Dwayne: "I knew something felt off about this job."

Gasket: "Alright, fine. We'll talk, but let's keep the pup treats a secret, okay?"

Hubcap and Dwayne nodded. Reluctantly, they moved to the front door and called out.

Gasket: "What do you want to know?"

Chase: "We want to know why you burned down the town hall and who hired you. You could've caused a serious disaster!"

Hubcap: "It was just a job... for a reward."

Chase's ears perked up.

Chase: "Who hired you?"

Dwayne: "We don't know his name. He just goes by 'The Big Guy.'"

The Paw Patrol exchanged curious glances.

Chase: "Do you know what this 'Big Guy' looks like?"

Gasket: "No. We've only talked to him on the phone."

Chase: "Then what made you accept the job? What was the reward?"

Hubcap: "We're not telling you what it was, but let's just say it was something we really wanted... and a lot of it."

Dwayne: "Please don't take our pup treats! I mean, uh, uh, darn."

Gasket and Hubcap groaned, facepalming in frustration.

Chase: "So it is pup treats. Hmm. We won't confiscate them if you give us all the information you can and come out quietly."

From her vantage point, Skye admired Chase's bravery. Once again, she shook off the thought and refocused. The Ruff Ruff Pack exchanged defeated looks and nodded.

Gasket: "Ugh, fine. We'll come out and cooperate."

Slowly, the Ruff Ruff Pack emerged from the diner, tails low.

Chase: "Ruff! Megaphone away!"

Chase's megaphone retracted into his pup pack as he faced the Ruff Ruff Pack.

Chase: "Thanks for cooperating. Now, tell us everything you know about this 'Big Guy.'"

Ears drooping, Gasket explained.

Gasket: "We don't know much. He's a person, not a pup. He really hates Adventure Bay—and you guys, the Paw Patrol. We don't know why, though. Our conversations were short."

Ryder: "Hate is a strong word. It's enough to explain why someone would want to destroy Adventure Bay. We'll need to investigate further. For now, let's take the Ruff Ruff Pack to obedience school."

The Ruff Ruff Pack groaned but complied, knowing they were caught. The Paw Patrol loaded the Ruff Ruff Pack into their vehicles and transported them to the obedience school in Foggy Bottom. After dropping them off, the team returned to the lookout tower, their investigation temporarily on pause. Though the case wasn't over, the pups remained steadfast, ready for the challenges ahead as they continued to grow and protect their home.
