Paw Patrol: Mixed Feelings [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 3

(RYDER POV)

Everything was dark. I can't remember anything that just happened to me. All of a sudden I just woke up in a hospital bed. My vision was, for some reason, blurry. I tried looking around and my vision came back to normal. I was in the Adventure Bay hospital. I don't even remember why or how I got here. A doctor walked into the room. I find it weird how doctors always come into the room as soon as you wake up. I thought that something that always happened in books or movies. Behind the doctor was Chase and Marshall, who were clearly glad to see me. They both jumped onto me and started licking my face, making me laugh. The doctor chuckled and walked up to me.

"So everything is now fine. You passed out from a little bit of stress." I raised an eyebrow. "How can a tiny bit of stress do all of that?" I asked her. She chuckled nervously. "Well, you haven't been taking great care of yourself so it affected you a lot." I sighed. It's true, I haven't but I never thought much of it.. or even cared. "We just need a few more days to check on you. So you'll be here for the rest of the week." Rest of the week!? "Uh- I actually have things to do. There's no way I can stay here for any longer than a day." I tried getting up but my head started to hurt, really badly. "Well, you're also not ready to leave yet." She said, making me groan. "It's okay Ryder." Chase tried reassuring me. "I planned for something like this. Where's my phone?" I started to frantically look around for it. Marshall handed it to me. "Thanks Marshall." I smiled at him. "I'm going to call Katie. Maybe she'll be up for the task of being temporary Paw Patrol leader for me."

(THIRD PERSON POV)

Katie was in her pet parlor brushing Chickaletta's feathers. She heard her phone ring and went to answer it. She smiled softly when she saw it was Ryder calling her. She answered it. "Hey Ryder! Need anything?" She said, happy to talk to Ryder. "Uh yeah Katie... I'm going to be in the hospital for the rest of the week and I need someone to take care of the pups and lead the missions for me." Ryder explained to her. "Woah- what even happened?" She asked. "Don't worry about it." Ryder reassured her. Katie felt suspicious of it but didn't push any further. "Alright then... I'd be happy to help you Ryder but I have to run my pet parlor. Sorry..." She said. Ryder sighed. "No, that's fine Katie. I'll just ask Danny.. unfortunately." Ryder hung up and then called Danny. 'Great. I hope he doesn't answer.' Ryder thought to himself. But Danny answered.

"H-Hey Danny.." Ryder started. "That's Daring Danny X! And what do you need?" Danny said, making Ryder regret calling him. "Didn't you say you were done doing dangerous things? You even promised." Ryder asked. "Yeah I know. But the name is still cool." Danny said. Ryder sighed. "Look, I really did not want to call you for this but I need someone to take care of the pups and missions for me while I'm at the hospital." Ryder said quickly. Danny just chuckled. "Oh come on, I'm your very trustworthy friend. Why would you not want to call me?" Ryder sighed. "I don't know about 'trustworthy' but you're a good friend." Danny smiled even though Ryder couldn't see it. "Well, of course I'll help you out." Ryder sighed in relief. "Thank you."

Ryder hung up and put his phone down. He look at Chase and Marshall. "Alright guys, Danny is going to be at the Lookout soon. Please behave this time." Ryder said, practically begging. Chase and Marshall both nodded and hopped off the hospital bed. They both ran out, racing each other. Ryder just chuckled and relaxed.
