Inside Chase's Doghouse
Quietly tip-toeing around Skye who is asleep on his dog bed, Chase is about to leave his room when suddenly he is stopped.
Skye: "Leaving already?"
Chase: "Darn, I didn't want to wake you up but yeah I have to wake the others."
Skye: "How thoughtful."
Chase: "Thanks but you can still sleep for a while if you want."
Skye: "I guess five more minutes wouldn't hurt." She yawns settling back down.
The Shepherd grabs the blanket he used and pulls it over Skye. He admires her for a second longer before heading out the door.
Once outside, however, Chase's mouth is immediately covered with a white and black paw.
Marshall: "Wait, keep your voice down. Don't wake up the others." He whispers. "And um... Good morning, Chase."
He removes his paw from Chase's snout.
Chase: "It's way too early for this, Marshall." He whispers back.
Marshall: "I know but just hear me out."
Long pause. Marshall maintains eye contact with Chase for a second too long.
Chase: "What?" He turns around.
Marshall: "Uh, just that tree! Brown is a handsome color- I mean... it's an okay color I wouldn't say it's the best but it's not the worst and-"
Chase: "Alright, alright I get it but why don't you want me to wake the others?"
Marshall: "Because... um... I want to go for a really really long jog with you privately. Only you can know about this."
Chase: "Why can't my girlfriend know?"
Marshall: "Who?" He snaps. "Oh, wait, right that girl."
Chase: "Skye has a name." He defends.
Marshall: "Yeah, sure, whatever but she can't come."
Brief pause.
Chase: "Are you... jealous?"
Marshall: "No! I mean, maybe, a little, okay yeah. But not in the way you think I'd be."
Chase: "What do you mean?"
Marshall: "It doesn't matter but I don't like Skye like that anymore." He then mumbles. "I don't think I ever did..."
Chase: "Well, good for you."
Playfully, the Shepherd punches Marshall's shoulder.
Marshall: "Maybe it's because I found someone else, someone that doesn't hate me like she does."
Chase: "Really? Who?"
Marshall: "Well..."
All of a sudden there is a ruckus inside Chase's doghouse.
Chase: "Maybe I should check on-"
Marshall: "No! Wait!"
Chase: "What? What do you want now?" He groans.
Marshall: "I want you..."
Chase: "Huh?"
Marshall: "I meant like I want you and me to take a lap around the Lookout! Duh!"
Chase: "Why?"
Marshall: "I just need to talk to you."
Chase: "Fine."
