On the other side of the dance floor, Skye and Everest were talking as the slow song slowly came to an end. Skye's expression evidently turned into a quite disappointed one, and Everest knew why.

"Don't worry Skye, it was the first slow song. There's many more to come." Everest consoled her best friend as the next fast song came on.

"Yeah, that's true. I guess I'm just a bit desperate for something to happen." Skye blushed.

Everest gave her a friendly hug.

"Nothing to be ashamed of Skye, you love Chase and that's the truth. You should be happy about that. I'm sure deep down he loves you too and he will show that by asking you to dance tonight. I know he will." Everest assured the cockapoo.

"Thanks Everest. That really means a lot." Skye embraced Everest's statement.

Just then, Rubble and Rocky walked by.

"Hey pups, have you by any chance seen Chase around here?" Rocky asked them.

"Nope." Skye sighed.

"You haven't?" Rubble said confused, as he thought Chase was planning on asking Skye to dance.

They two girl pups shook their heads.

"Oh, okay. Thanks anyway, see you around." Rocky waved goodbye.

The two pups walked around through the crowds to try and find their german shepherd friend, eager to confront him about why he hadn't asked Skye to dance. Eventually they spotted Zuma, Marshall and Chase in the distance and approached them.

"Chase!" Rocky snapped at the police pup.

"Why didn't you ask Skye to dance? Didn't we go through this a gazillion of times?" Rubble confronted him.

"It's okay guys, calm down." Marshall reassured the two pups.

"Yeah, it was the first slow song and Chase didn't want to rush things. You can't blame him." Zuma sympathized with Chase.

Rocky thought that sounded like a lame excuse for Chase to get out of asking Skye, but he also couldn't really blame him for being nervous. Besides, there were going to be plenty of slow songs to come.

"I guess that's reasonable," the mixed breed relented, "Sorry for barking at you."

"Yeah, we were a bit too aggressive." the bulldog apologized as well.

"That's okay, you had a reason to be annoyed." Chase forgave them.

"But you're not off the hook Chase. You are going to ask Skye to dance. We're doing this for you you know." Zuma informed him.

"I know.." Chase sighed.

The mood was a bit depressing after that, so Marshall quickly tried to think of something to change the subject. When the next fast song came on, he got an idea.

"Hey guys!" Marshall exclaimed, "Tailspin!"

The pups smiled and joined Marshall before crashing into each other and landing in a dog pile, laughing their tails off. This took the situation off of Chase and all the other pup's minds, including Skye and Everest who were now enjoying themselves on their own as well.
