The Chase for Love

Chapter two

Chase's pov
I sigh as I look at Rocky. I love his brown eyes, how he cares for others and the earth, how he's super creative and can make an invention from scratch. He's my everything.

Marshall's pov
Lately I've been feeling down. I sigh as I look around me.

I trip tumbling forwards. I land and get up shaking out my fur. "Stupid clutz he'll never like you!" My subconscious screams at me. I ignore it for my own good.

Rocky's pov
I had been released hours after my rescue from Chase. I sigh dreamily thinking about said Shepard. His amber eyes send shivers down my spine when he wakes me in the morning. He wakes me up first with some gentle nuzzles and a lick on occasion.

I'm usually good at concealing my blush. My thoughts drift to a certain husky. EVEREST! Crap! I'm pretty sure she likes me. If she finds out I like Chase I'm screwed. I decide to talk to Skye.

I walk up to said Cockapoo and tap her on the shoulder.

"Oh hi Rocky." She says turning to face me.

"Hi Skye, can we talk in private?" I ask nervously

"Sure thing and this is about the Everest think right?" She asks and I nod.

We walk to somewhere private. We chose my pup house and we start to talk.

"So does Everest like me?" I ask nervously.

"Yeah why?" Skye asks seeming a bit hesitant.

"Well...um...you...see.." I say my cheeks burning bright red with blush. "I like no love Chase." I say softly.

"So you need help so she doesn't flirt with you?" Skye asks curiously tilting her head.

"Yeah, if she flirts with me I'm screwed. I can't just ignore her forever and Chase will get mad." Rocky says.

"I'll figure something out. Alright bye Rocky." Skye says and leaves. I sigh hoping she'll help.

Skye's pov
I leave and I make it to my pup house. I scream into my pillow. I then grab my pink diary from its hidden spot by the wall. I start to write.

Dear Diary,

Today I talked with my best friend Rocky. He says he has a crush on Chase. That's not good since I also happen to like Chase a whole lot. I can't let the two be alone for long periods of time. Though I can't seem suspicious. Plan Chasing Chase is a go!

Sincerely,
Skye 10/29/18

I finish writing and I lock my diary clipping the pen to the front. I slide it back in it's hiding place and I go outside. I see Chase and run over much to Rockys dismay as he was heading over.

"Hey Chase can we go to dinner?" I ask. "You know as friends?" I add. "Sure but can I bring someone along?" He asks his tail wagging. "Um I was thinking it could be just us." I say my tail wagging. "Oh ok." Chase says seemingly disappointed as his tail stops wagging.

I go to get ready. I head to Katies where she bathes me and uses strawberry shampoo. I choose a pink dress and a pink bow (pic at top of the dress). I put the dress on and Katie puts the bow on.

I run home and blush. I see Chase looking handsome. He was wearing a white shirt with a blue tuxedo and the collar had black on it. I ran over.

"Hi Chase. Are you ready?" I ask. He nods seeming a bit down. I don't question the Shepard though. We start to walk to the restaurant. We arrive and Chase opens the door.

"Wow what a gentlepup." I smile and giggle.

"No problem Skye." He says seemingly trying to keep up the preppy happy attitude.

We head inside and wait to be seated. Mr.Porter leads us to a table and we sit.

"Hi pups. Welcome back to my restaurant. What would you two like to eat and drink?" He asks.

"I'll have some pink lemonade and steak." I say smiling my tail wagging.

"I'll have water with lemon and steak." Chase says. Mr.Porter nods and goes into the kitchen leaving us alone for the time being.

"Let's play twenty questions." Chase says and I nod.

"Favorite color?" I ask though it's obvious.

"Blue and you?" He asks.

"Pink. Now your turn." I say. He nods.

"Favorite spot to be alone?" He asks.

"My pup house or flying in the sky." I say.

"For me it'd be my pup house or the woods." He says.

We play for awhile until our food arrives. I start eating my steak and I enjoy it.

~roughly twenty five minutes later~

We get home and I say bye to Chase and go to bed.

~next day~

Rocky's pov
We're playing soccer and the teams are:

Me
Skye
Chase

Zuma
Marshall
Rubble

Everest
Tracker
North

I get the ball from Marshall and I run towards the goal. I pass the ball to Chase who makes a goal. We cheer for him happily. I frown as I watch Skye run up and nuzzle him. He does something breaking my heart.

He licks her

I stop for a moment not believing my eyes. Chase and Skye?! Really how I didn't see this coming is beyond me. I sigh. I don't care if anyone sees me at this point and I run away into the woods.

I reach a random spot and I sit and cry. I cry sobs wracking my body. I suddenly feel a presence and then a warm furry body hugging me close. I look up to see...Everest.

I push away and look at her.

"What's wrong Rocky?" She asks.

"Well you see...I really really like Chase and there's Skye. That snob nosed cockapoo is always taking Chase away. Every time we play she has to join. I rarely have alone time with Chase anymore. I can't even have bro time with him aside from the weekend with everyone. Skye may like Chase but I like him too and I'd do anything for that Shepard. That smile melts my heart and could cheer a crying baby. Those amber eyes are like pools of honey and make me smile. His fur is soft and pure. It smells like the woods and sometimes a tinge of honey. When Marshall crashes—-
