Meanwhile back at the Lookout, Skye had finished counting to one hundred and was ready to sniff out the other pups. As she uncovered her eyes, she saw something on the Adventure Bay Bridge in the distance. It was coming towards the Lookout. As it got closer, Skye had recognized who it was and was filled with excitement.

"Everest!" She called out to her best friend.

"Hey Skye!" Everest exclaimed as she pulled up next to her.

They were the only female pups on the team and therefore made great friends. Before Everest had joined the team it was just guys, and Skye didn't really have anyone to relate to, or open up to. When Everest was introduced to the team, Skye instantly had a new best friend.

"What brings you here?" Skye asked.

"Oh, you know, I haven't seen you guys in a while," Everest lied, remembering she couldn't really tell her the real reason she was here, "And besides, I borrowed Marshall's liver-flavoured chew toy and needed to get it back to him."

"Ah, I see. Hey, me and the guys are playing hide and seek. I was just about to go look for them, wanna come?" Skye offered.

"Um, well I was wondering if we could just chill here for a bit. And just.. Talk." Everest suggested.

Skye thought about it for a bit. It was a little odd that she only wanted to talk instead of play but she eventually coincided with the husky. She had raised a good point, they hadn't seen each other in ages and needed to catch up.

"Sure! I guess the guys can wait a little longer," Skye complied with her as the two sat comfortably ready to start up a conversation, "So what's up?"

"Nothing new to be honest, just been chillin with Jake up in our cabin," Everest responded. Before Skye could comment, Everest instantly fired a question at her.

"Sooo.. I've been wanting to ask you, is there anybody that you have feelings for." Everest winked at her.

Skye, who was caught completely off guard by the abrupt question, struggled drum up an answer for her.

"Um.. well, why would you ask that?" Skye said trying to avoid the question.

"I'm curious," Everest replied, "And besides, I've made a couple 'assumptions' about who you like."

"Oh really? Well looks like you're mistaken, because I don't really like anyone right now. Haven't thought about it much." Skye lied, trying to make it sound believable. But Everest wasn't going to give up there.

"Ohhh, come on! We've all thought about it once or twice. Just tell me." Everest persuaded.

Skye still didn't look sold.

"Here, if you tell me who you like, or even have a little bit of feelings for, I'll tell you who I like." Everest tried making a deal with her.

Skye bit her lip. She wasn't fond of letting anybody know about how she felt for Chase. Then again, Everest was her best friend, and if anyone could keep a secret, she could.

"Oh, alright," she sighed. She took a deep breath in, knowing that once she said it, there was no going back.

"I..I l-like..." she stuttered uncomfortably, "Chase. I like Chase.."
