Music blasted through the air in City Hall. The atmosphere was electric. Everyone's favourite songs were coming on and the pups, along everyone at the party, were dancing it out and having an amazing time. Chase, Marshall and Zuma were in their own little group on the dance floor while the other pups were scattered around among the crowds.

There was a brief pause after the previous song had ended, which was normal in between songs so nobody thought anything of it. Only this time, when music started playing from the speaker, it was different than the rest of the songs so far. A slow beat, smooth rhythm. Chase's heart felt like it stopped. It was a slow song.

Before the German shepherd could try and make his way off the dance floor, Zuma grabbed him.

"You can't chicken out now dude. Not after everything we've done so far." Zuma told him.

Marshall caught up to them.

"Come on Chase, now's your moment." Marshall insisted.

Chase knew he wasn't ready. He was so nervous and worried. He tried to think of an excuse to get out of doing it just yet.

"Uh, come guys it's the first slow song." He chuckled, trying to play this off, "I don't want to rush anything."

Chase bit his lip, hoping this excuse was enough to get the pups off his back for now at least.

Marshall and Zuma slowly made eye contact while considering Chase's objection.

"He does have a point," Marshall concluded.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. No need to rush things." Zuma agreed.

A wave of relief came upon Chase after hearing this. He was safe... for now.
