Closer in Christmas

24th December

After the pups decorated the lookout with love, happiness and joy, the lookout seems much more beautiful and wonderful as ever. In the early morning, there are 3 pups that have awake already. Oops~ Pardon, 4 pups that got up already. "Fresh morning air~ Tomorrow is Christmas!" said Marhall happily, smelling the morning air.

"Morning, Marshall."greets Everest, smiling her usual cheerful smile to him. Marshall blushed at her presence then said "M-morning too, Everest!" , trying to sound like his usual cheerful-self while actually he's nervous but comfortable at the same time with her. Everest giggles then sits next to him which made him blush harder. "I saw that Zuma and Tracker are talking to each other about Christmas while I joined in the conversations for a while until I asked whose the pups that usually got up." said Everest, explaining to Marshall.

"And that's you. I'm suprised that Chase isn't the one who got up, or maybe Skye." she continues. "Well, Chase is usually get up earlier in non-holiday days." replied Marshall, enjoying the conversation and her warm company. "Wow, you really know anything about Chase." comments Everest with a small giggle. "Of course! He's my best friend, or maybe even more like my brother, even though that we're not having the same blood or similar DNA." explains Marshall to Everest.

Everest smiled then touched Marshall's paw which made him blushed and looked at Everest. "That's amazing, thanks for telling me~!"said Everest with sparkling eyes then let go of the paw. "No problem at all, Eve'!"replied Marshall excitedly. "Hey! Want to come with me, Zuma, and Tracker that is actually discussing about 'a thing' in Christmas?" offers Everest.

"Sure do! That seems interesting and made me wonder. Instead, I have nothing else to do than smelling this amazing morning air~" replied Marshall, accepting her offer happily. "Yey~! Let's go!" said Everest, happy too that Marshall wants to come. "Tag! You're it!" said Marshall, tagging Everest on her shoulder then run, starting the game. "Hey! That's not fair~" shouts Everest but then laughed and ran after him.

"It's fair enough~!" shouts Marshall back to her with a laugh too. "Alright, Marsh'. It's on~!" said Everest, determined to catch him. Both then played the tag game together happily until .... "Tag!" "Tag!"

"HAHAHA! EVEREST!!! THAT'S TICKLINGGGG!" shouts Marshall, ticklish at Everest's touch. Everest giggles then stopped as he asked. Marshall sighed then said "That's....better~" between his gasps. "Sorry, I have to do that."said Everest, apologizing.

"That's...okay~"said Marshall, still trying to breathe properly. "I'm sure fineeee~"continues Marshall which made Everest giggled. "Let me repay you. But that's until we go to Tracker and Zuma. Actually ... after that."said Everest, giving him a wink then run towards Tracker and Zuma's place. "Hey! Wait for me!" said Marshall, running to be on Everest's side then both walking happily next to each other.

"Hey, amigos~" greeted Tracker, smiling at both love pups. "Having gweat time?" asks Zuma with a teasing tone, smiriking along with Tracker. But inside, they love to see both love pups smiling, staring and spending time happily with each other. Just like how they see Chase and Skye.

Marshall and Everest blushed at 'Zuma's statement' but Everest replied "Good, How about you guys? Still discussing about...the mistletoe?" Marshall's eyes widened at this then said "Mis-Mistle what?" "Mistletoe, Marshall. A thing on Christmas that every couple usually 'aware' of~" replied Tracker, half jokingly about the couple things. "It's magical, actually" adds Zuma.

"Well, actually whose the one that made the mistletoe rule?" said Everest, giggling. "Wait, wait...! You guys mean this mistletoe that is said ... to be the thing that should hang in the hidden Christmas tree...?" said Marshall. "Uh-huh" replied Tracker, nodding. "Yep! That's what we discussed until now~" adds Everest.

"Oh...well...?" said Marshall, shocked to know that they're discussing about the Mistletoe thing. Well, by him, Mistletoe is something that is use to hang in a christmas tree for some couple to discovered it and kiss under the tree. "Oh, hey guyssss~! It's time to have our yummy breakfast~" shouts Rubble from his pup house with Ryder, Jake and Carlos behind. "And now that's end our conversation~!" jokes Tracker which is followed by Zuma saying "Yepsie! 'Cause ouw stomach needs to be filled~"
