PAW Patrol: Pups with a Night to Remember.

Chapter 27: Epilogue (The End)

Chase shut the door behind them as Skye made herself comfortable in his blankets. Chase sat down on his bed as well, faced her and smiled. The cockapoo smiled back as they engaged into conversation.

"Wow, you're puphouse sure is big Chase," Skye commented, looking around and enjoying the space.

"Yeah, well I am much bigger than you," he chuckled. Skye continued to look around some more when she noticed something familiar.

"Is that my bathing cap?" Skye focused her eyes on a pink piece of cloth on Chase's shelf with little white hearts covering it.

Chase's heart dropped to his stomach, and the blood ran cold inside of him.

"Uhmm... No..?" he tried lying. There wasn't much else he could say, he was caught having taken Skye's lost bathing cap.

Skye walked over to the shelf picked it up. She glanced over to Chase and gave him a look that said, seriously?

"Okay fine, you got me. I took your bathing cap." He admitted.

"Well thank you captain obvious," Skye giggled, rolling her eyes, "Why did you take it?"

Chase sighed. He was already exposed, might as well just tell her the truth.

"I took it because... I was worried about you. Whenever you would go on a mission and I would be left home, a question would always cement in my mind, 'Is she going to make it back okay?' So I took your bathing cap because it reminded me of you and had your scent. It kind of relieved my stress while you were gone." Chase said looking down, ashamed at what he did, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken it without telling you."

Skye listened to what Chase had said and put the bathing cap back on the shelf.

"I accept your apology," She started, "But you and I both know that I'm fully capable when I'm on missions, and you shouldn't need to worry about me. We're well trained and Ryder is always there for us."

"I know," Chase sighed, pointing his ears down.

"But," She continued, "I'm flattered at how much you care about me. It's nice to know someone will always have my back." she said, walking over and nuzzling the german shepherd.

Chase's cheeks became red as Skye rubbed her face into his chest. "I'll always be here for you. And that will never change." He said, nuzzling her back.

"You made that pretty clear back on the parking lot," Skye giggled.

Chase blushed even more thinking back to what he said to the cockapoo earlier that night, "Come on, stop it." He said self-consciously. He looked away and covered his eyes in embarrassment.

"Don't be embarrassed," said Skye, walking up to him and removing his paws from his face, "I loved what you said earlier," she smiled.

"Really?" Chase smiled back. Skye nodded.

"It was pure, and straight from your heart. You really meant what you said and it made me feel special." Skye blushed.

"Well it's true," affirmed Chase. Skye giggled and blushed a bit more as she turned around to go back to lying on Chase's bed. Chase followed behind her and was reminded of what Zuma told him earlier about complimenting girls. Without thinking, he did what Zuma advertised as a good idea.

"You know Skye, you have a really cute butt," Chase blurted out.

Skye stopped dead in her tracks and turned around, raising an eyebrow at Chase. She appreciated the compliment, but it wasn't like Chase to say something like that.

Chase saw Skye's reaction and immediately realized what a dumb move that was. Stupid! Why did you say that? I knew it wasn't a good idea. He scolded himself.

"Uhh.. I'm sorry! I didn't mean it- well I did... but.. I can explain," He stammered, "You see Zuma was talking to me and he said girls liked when guys said that, and I didn't mean to-"

He was interrupted by Skye's giggling. "I don't care if you think that. Zuma's right, girls do like it."

A wave of relief came upon the german shepherd. "So.. you aren't mad?" He ensured.

"You're so cute," Skye said laughing.

This made Chase start to blush again as he got that warm feeling in his heart. "Skye, seriously you don't have to say things like that." Chase said, avoiding her compliments.

"I mean it Chase. You're nice, loving, caring, and it just melts my heart. You're strong, you're handsome, and you're extremely talented in almost every aspect. Not to mention, you're a natural born leader, and everyone looks up to you. Including me. I really mean it Chase. You're the only pup I could ever dream of being with," she emphasized, "I love you to the moon and back and it will stay that way forever, no matter what happens."

Like Skye did to him earlier, Chase leaned his head in close to hers and kissed her on the lips. Goosebumps formed all over both of them as they shut their eyes and basked in each other's presence. When they both pulled back, they stared into each other's eyes.

"Let this be a new beginning," Skye declared, "The beginning of us."

"Us? Together forever?" Chase queried.

Skye gave a worried look at Chase's slightly doubtful response. However, Chase was only trying scare her.

"I'm all in." He complied with her and smiled.

She nuzzled him, glad to hear his response. "You scared me there for a second," she giggled.

"You don't have to worry, there isn't anyone that could steal me away from you," He assured her.

She smiled and nuzzled him again, then yawned. At this point it was past one in the morning, and they were finally beginning to feel tired. They both looked at each other as their eyelids became heavy and decided that it was time to go to sleep.

"Think I can crash here tonight?" She grinned.

"Do you even have to ask?" Chase responded cheerfully. He turned off his lamp and the two pups got comfy under the covers of his bed. Skye had snuggled up into Chase's side and they both gently leaned their heads against each other, just like how they slept the previous night, only this time, they were a couple.

They shut their eyes and cuddled close together.

"Goodnight Chase." Skye whispered, "I love you."

"I love you too, Skye. Sweet dreams." Chase smiled

The cockapoo fell asleep shortly and left Chase half asleep, again, lost in his thoughts about the whole situation. Love is a weird thing. It can make you happy, sad, frustrated, and scared; flipping your whole life upside-down. It can be a hassle, but in the end it will be all worth it. Chase sure found this out the hard way, but ultimately, he had no regrets. He nuzzled the cockapoo one more time, glad to be by her side, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

The End.
