PAW Patrol: Pups with a Night to Remember.

Chapter 24: It's Now or Never

The clock struck eleven fifty-five, but that didn't stop the party. People weren't going to finish singing and dancing until that hour hand on the clock reached the twelve. The current song came to an end and the crowd was eagerly anticipating the next, however it wasn't a song that came onto the loudspeaker.

"Alright my people, you've all been amazing tonight!" the DJ shouted into the mic, followed by cheers from the crowd, "We're gonna slow it on down for the last few moments of the night before I peace! Again, y'all been outstanding tonight, thank you all!"

A Thousand Years by Christina Perri began to play on the loudspeaker, and Chase looked at the rest of the guy pups in disbelief, while Skye did the same, but to Everest.

Rocky waved him on to go ask Skye to dance, who was only a few yards away, and Zuma nodded at him in encouragement. Chase looked over to where Skye was standing and admired her beauty, as butterflies began to swarm his stomach. He gulped.

Marshall went up to him and patted his back, "Remember, don't think. Just do it!"

Chase smiled, and started walking towards Skye. This was it. He was given another chance and was going to ask the love of his life to dance. He felt his heart pounding against his chest, full of anxiety. He felt a drip of sweat drip down his forehead. No! I can do this! He persevered. Everest saw the german shepherd approaching them and got excited, thinking that this was finally going to be it. Chase's paw was inches from tapping the cockapoo's shoulder when suddenly, darkness.

Commotion spread among the crowds as the music stopped playing and the lights went out. Chase, along with the other pups, could not see a single thing. The police pup decided to just stand still and wait, hoping that Skye hadn't seen him already. Meanwhile the other guys were raging with fury.

"GOD DAMN IT!" Rocky growled and pounded his fist on the floor

"Nah dude, I'm actually done with this," Zuma facepawed, "Tonight just isn't our night."

"Should've seen it coming," Rubble rolled his eyes.

"Poor Chase..." Marshall sympathized, "He loves her so much and built up all that courage... I feel so bad for him."

"I just cannot believe how every single thing went wrong tonight," Rocky complained, "I mean, how unlucky can you be?"

"What if it just.." Rubble gulped, "..wasn't meant to be..?"

"No!" Marshall desperately ceased Rubble's thought, "It has to be right! They both love each other, remember?"

"Let's just pray something happens," Zuma crossed his fingers, "Miracles do happen, right?"

In the midst of all the chaos, Mayor Goodway managed to find her microphone and calm everyone.

"People! People! Settle down. Everything will be okay. I'm pretty sure the circuit breaker went off due to all the lights and music we have going on here!" Mayor Goodway chuckled, "Everyone just don't move and stay calm. I'm going to go fix the issue and then we will resume what's left of the dance!"

Once the mayor finished talking, she made her way to the circuit box and conversations began to fill the air once again, creating quite a noisy atmosphere. Everest thought about the current situation for second, and decided to take a risk.
