PAW Patrol: Pups with a Night to Remember.

Chapter 3: Movie Night (Part 2)

About half an hour had went by, and most of the pups were kind of half watching at this point, slowly getting more and more uninterested. Rocky had always preferred reading over watching movies, so almost any movie loses his interest after a while. Zuma was more into horror movies while Skye liked romances. And Chase, well he deemed the show as unrealistic and it bothered him how Apollo would get away with things that he really shouldn't in real life, even though this was a non-fiction show. But what do you expect from a pup as serious as Chase. Ryder just liked to spend time with his pups, watch them bond, play, and just have a good time. They were so adorable to him.

Chase wasn't into the movie at all really, and was just lost in his thoughts, when his eyes fixed on Skye who was laying next to him. Seeing her laying there so close to him brought a smile upon his face, as he thought about how he felt about her. Will I ever tell her? He thought. Maybe she could have feelings for me... Nah, what are you talking about Chase, that would never happen. He doubted himself.

Eventually, Skye turned and noticed the German shepherd glaring at her.

"Uh, Chase? What are you doing?" She whispered, making sure not to disturb the rest of the pups.

Chase quickly snapped out of it and tried to think of an answer.

"I, uh... er, Staring contest?" He spit out.

"Tsk, haven't you tasted enough defeat today?" The Cockapoo smirked.

"What, you think you're gonna beat me this time?" The shepherd rolled his eyes.

"I don't think so, I know so." she sassed back.

"You're on! 3.. 2.. 1.. Go!" He challenged her. They only made it 10 seconds in before they had to restart.

"Okay, pause." Skye said interrupting their contest.

"What? Can't handle how good I am?" said a very cocky Chase.

"No," she rolled her eyes, "It's too dark, I can barely see your eyes."

"Well come onto my bean bag then." Chase suggested.

The little pup hopped over to Chase's bean bag and could see him more clearly, meaning they could continue their staring contest.

"Alright, ready. 3.. 2.. 1, Go!" She started it back up again, still whispering to try and not gain attention from the others.

Meanwhile, Rocky, who was laying next to Skye until she moved bean bags, noticed that she had made her way closer to Chase. Just by hearing Skye's countdown, he knew that they were having some type of contest again. He nudged Zuma who was sitting next to him.

"Look who's at it again." Rocky said pointing his eyes in Chase and Skye's direction.

"Oh gosh, didn't see that coming." Zuma chuckled, rolling his eyes.

"What do you think they're doing?" Rocky asked trying to decipher what they could possibly be doing given the current dark and quiet atmosphere.

"Something quiet. Maybe a no-talking or a staring contest. At least it isn't interfering with a game or something like earlier." Zuma pointed out.

"Yeah, thank God." Rocky agreed, "I don't know about you but, I'm not really into this movie, and it's getting late. I say we hit the sac."

"Word, bro." Zuma agreed.

Being best friends, they fist-bumped, and snuggled into their beanbags. Whenever the team would watch a movie together at night, Ryder would usually let them sleep in the Lookout on their beanbags, so the two pups did that. Back at the staring contest, two minutes had passed and both pups were still in contention.

They both loved low key this. Chase was staring down into Skye's beautiful, sparkling, magenta eyes, not taking his eyes off them for a single second. He was in a complete daze staring at the little Cockapoo who had stolen his heart since day one. A smile had began to appear on his face.

Skye was filled with butterflies, sitting right up against the German Shepherd, staring into his amber eyes. Seeing him smile made her feel all warm inside as she smiled back at him, even giggling a little bit. Chase chuckled back, trying to make it not awkward.

Both of them wanted the other to think they were just laughing and smiling as friends, despite how they felt for each other. They weren't willing to admit their feelings and didn't want to be embarrassed. However, this didn't stop their emotions from flowing. Both pups had locked eyes, and weren't going to look away, let alone blink. It was merely a test of who would fall asleep first.

Fortunately for Chase, it looked as though he would win at least one challenge that day, as Skye's eyelids were becoming very heavy. Before he knew it, her legs gave out and she closed her eyes as she laid down to drifted off to sleep.

"Finally." Chase said, relieved he could finally blink again and go to sleep.

He looked down and smiled at Skye who was now fast asleep. Being the caring pup he is, he quietly creeped over to the closet, making sure not to draw attention, and got a blanket for her. He didn't want her to catch a cold during the night, and miss out on whatever was to come the next day. He returned and gently placed the soft blanket over her. Sweet dreams, Skye. He said to her in his thoughts.

Chase laid down on his bean bag next to Skye, ready to sleep as the new episode of Apollo the Super Pup had finally concluded. Marshall and Rubble had fallen asleep momentarily before that, as it seemed to be a bit too late for them to stay up, and Ryder had just turned off the T.V. He looked at all his pups who were fast asleep. Rubble was snoring, Marshall was faintly talking in his sleep, and he noticed Chase was the only one still awake. As he made his way to the elevator to go to his room, he stopped by Chase.

"Good night, Officer Chase." Ryder said scratching behind the police pup's ear.

Chase giggled at the name and Ryder scratching his head.

"Goodnight Ryder, Sir. See you tomorrow." he replied as Ryder made his way to the elevator.

Chase tried to sleep, but soon realized that it was kind of chilly on the main floor of the Lookout. Their pup houses were heated to keep them warm when they slept, so he wasn't used to this. But he knew that Skye had a blanket and was being kept warm and that mattered more to him.

However, a half hour later when Chase started shivering, Skye was slightly awoken. Half asleep, she moved closer to the shepherd and put the blanket on both of them, snuggling into his side trying to be warm as possible, not really realizing what she was doing as she was barely awake. Chase took notice of this and was glad he wasn't so cold anymore, but was more focused on how close Skye was to him. She had already fallen back asleep, but Chase was exploding on the inside. His crush was snuggled up beside him, under the same blanket as him, and fast asleep.

This night, which Chase didn't even intend to go this way, was turning out to be the best night ever. Now that he wasn't freezing his tail off, Chase could finally rest and go to sleep. He gently leaned on Skye, embracing her company, and slowly shut his eyes. He fell asleep with a warm heart, and a big smile on his face.
