Third Person POV

Ryder walked from the back of the Lookout to the front. He looked to see Aniyah sitting down while looking at the picture of the Paw Patrol when it was first made sadly. Ryder cocked his head at this.

Why is she so sad?

He walked over to her. "Hey Aniyah, is there something wrong?" asked Ryder. Aniyah looked at him. "I'm fine..." she trailed. Ryder frowned. "You're not," he said. He put his hands on her shoulders and turned her towards him. "Just tell me Aniyah, and I could possibly help you. Just like you help everyone else," said Ryder. Aniyah looked down but Ryder lifted her chin up with his hand. "What is it?"

"You won't be able to help me with this one Ryder, it's personal," she said. Ryder let his hands fall from her and looked at her confused. "How?" Aniyah sighed. "You know how you lead the Paw Patrol and you're so carefree, happy, and always having fun?" asked Aniyah. Ryder nodded slowly.

Aniyah put the picture back on the wall then touched it longingly. "Unfortunately for me, that's not the case. I just want to be able to be free and explore," said Aniyah. She looked at Ryder. "What I wouldn't give to be free like you Ryder," said Aniyah getting teary eyed. Ryder slowly blinked at her. It hurts him to see his friend hurt and he knew he should help her.

He then took her hands. "Don't cry Chibi. It'll be okay cause I can help you be free and explore." Ryder wiped her tears.

He looked into her eyes as she did the same. She looked away. "No you can't... I am forever caged," mumbled Aniyah. Ryder sighed a bit. "How about you go play with the pups? It'll help free your mind and I need to go do something," said Ryder letting her hands go. Aniyah nodded. "Okay." She went to the elevator. "Oh and Aniyah..." said Ryder. She looked at him. "You should smile, you have a beautiful smile," he smiled a bit then walked away while Aniyah blushed and looked at the ground.

She put her hand on her racing heartbeat. She then took a deep breath and leaned back on the elevator. She slowly blinked looking up with her eyes sparkling.

What are you doing to me?

Who? Ryder. Her and her body been a little bit on the weird side since they have reunited but Aniyah can't understand why. The pups said it was love but Aniyah just dismissed it. She couldn't love Ryder... she just couldn't.

The elevator door opened and she walked out. She came out to see all the pups playing with each other by chasing each other. "I'm gonna get you Skye!" said Marshall. His nose and face was covered. Skye did a flip over him. "No way Marshall!" she said giggling. The rest of the pups were now dodging Marshall while laughing at his failed attempts. They obviously thought he was a real funny pup. Aniyah smiled at them all having fun and walked over.

"Hiya pups!" she said. They all looked to her. "Hi Aniyah!" they said. "Aniyah? Where?! Where?!" asked Marshall. He jumped around back and forth. Aniyah laughed at him then took the sock and blind fold of him. "Right here Marshall," she said. She tapped him and he turned around. "Oh, I knew that," he said sheepishly. "So what brings you down here Aniyah?" asked Chase. "Here to play race?!" asked Zuma. "Ruff and tumble?!" asked Rubble. "Oh or soccer?!" asked Rocky. As you can tell, they were all excited to see her and their tails were wagging.
