Can't Woof It Out | Chase x Skye [Book One] ✔⚙

(S.2) Chapt.29

          "ER. . . Uhm." Marshall stammers, quite unsure how to answer the question Chase had queried  "It. . . Depends Chase" he starts off "Sometimes. . . In some situation – you shouldn't think irrationally. And same goes to other situations, sometimes you have to trust your gut?" Chase gave him a confused look "You mean. . . When a guy's gotta go – you gotta go?" The spotted-Dalmatian tried all his best not to laugh at Chase's answer. He wasn't wrong – but "It's kinda like instinct Chase. For example, there's this delicious looking treat on the road. What's your first thought?" The German Shepherd immediately created a disgusted face and said he wouldn't eat it, for the fear it may have been infected with various bacteria. "And that's what trusting your gut feeling is! Not— Whatever you thought" he snickers. Chase, finally getting the reason why his friend was laughing at him, began to burst to fits of laughter – Marshall was no better at keeping his own laughter in, so just as expected, he began to laugh along with him. "Oh, one more thing" Chase began to ask, once their laughter died along with the wind "What is it?" He replies, looking over to the pup covered in brown and tan fur "I'm not wrong in my earlier statement, right?" Marshall laughs to this and says

"No, you're not. You do have to go
when you really need to."

          The next day were no different, Adventure Bay was in its usual place of spotlight, and a few clouds hovered the town as it was accompanied with a cool and calming breeze. The leaves and greenery were kissed with dewdrops that glisten under the only woken-morning star. It was a nice day indeed, but Rocky can't say the same when he found "Skye, what happened to your face?!" He exclaims, obviously flabbergasted upon what he saw. The Cockapoo had a sluggish look, bags formed under her eyes and the usual glimmer in her eyes were tucked away under her weary eyelids "You poor thing, what happened?" He asks as he offered a paw to lead her back to her pup house – where she happens to miss her bowl full of it, thinking it was still empty. By the looks of it, Rocky knew she can't make it back to her pup house without stumbling more than five times before she can peacefully eat her meal "Oh. . . Y-you don't have to worry. It's just one of those nights where I couldn't even sleep. Y'know, wondering if Pup-Fairies do exist, like Mer-Pups do" Rocky wasn't convinced no less than hearing Zuma's not in the mood for water "You usually slip out with me or Zuma when you do all sorts of crazy stuff" he rolls his eyes "Maybe I didn't want to explore and instead wondered about it"

          Rocky and Skye have reached her pup house and allowed her to sit down and let her take everything in – in hope that the spinning feeling around her would stop "Nah, you like exploring. Like Zuma liking water. Both of you can't resist the things you like to do" he searches for her bowl and pushed it near her to refrain her from standing up "Uh. . . Sure" she replies, an answer that contradicts the Mongrel's earlier statement "Oh gosh. You don't even know what you're saying!" Rocky shook his head "Are you sure you can attend any mission? At. . . That state?" Skye just simply nodded at him and continued to eat her meal "Maybe if I drank water, it'll go away" she adds in between bites. Rocky, obviously not happy with what she is in right now, sighs in discontent "Let's just hope Ryder won't choose you if we ever have a mission today" but then his face soured "Why do I feel someone's going to jinx it?". The Cockapoo laughed in a spacey way "You're just weird today" Rocky looked offended but didn't give a crap anymore – he can't knock some sense into her if her mind's in the hands of sleep.

          "Paw Patrol, to the Look-Out!" Ryder's voice vibrated on everyone's pup-tags "Ryder needs us! Skye, stay there" he commands as he began to run back to the tower "Noooo~! I just drank water, I'm gonna be fine!" She insists as she began to run behind Rocky. Once everyone got in to the elevator "Woah, what's with that face Rocky?" Rubble questions, pointing at his face "Nothing. I just feel like I have a child" he replies as the elevator door soon shut and began to lift them up to their changing area. Taking not less than a minute, they've hopped back in to the elevator as the platform took them up to their last destination – the Look-Out proper. "Sir, ready for mission, Ryder" Chase spoke in a loud and clear tone "Wait. . . That's not right" he mutters, almost too quiet, but not really too quiet for Ryder to hear "That'll be okay for now Chase" he smiles as he swipes his pup-pad to select a pup to deploy for today's mission. "Okay pups. Katie was showering two kittens and left them by their cage-carrier, only to be seen missing. She says she was chasing after them and were unfortunately transported by a drift wood out into the ocean" Ryder says as a short clip were shown on the screen, the English Bulldog gasped at this "Oh no! The poor kitties!" He whimpered, feeling bad for the kitties that they may be crying for help.

          The boy then looked back to his pup-pad and Rocky's symbol appeared onto the screen "Rocky, you will be fixing their cage-carrier since it was found broken, and you'll be cleaning the shore-line from any debris to avoid this kind of incident happening again" the Mongrel hopped forward and said his lines before Ryder swiped further to search for more pups to deploy "Zuma, you'll be rescuing the kittens with me" the Lab nodded "Weady, set, get wet!" He says, smiling with a determined look "But Wyder, it'll take quite some time to find them in ouw view" Zuma tilts his head in confusion. He smiles at his pup "And that's why we'll be needing Skye's help. You'll be our eyes in the sky - this way we can find them easily". Upon hearing this, Rocky stepped forward "Ryder she can't! She can't perform her duties well due to lack of sleep!" He insists with concern in his eyes "No Ryder, I am feeling well already!" Skye answers back, wanting to help as much as she can "Because the last thing I want to do is not do anything productive" she thought to herself. "Y'know. . . Someone else can take it for you Skye, sleep's important, take it from me!" Rubble joins in the conversation. Skye swayed her head in decline "I'm really okay Ryder, I promise" she says, puffing her chest out. A short silence washed over him and sighed "If you say so. . . But do tell if you feel weary during the mission" the Cockapoo nods at this before Ryder had signalled the pups they were ready for mission before he slid down the fireman's pole to access his quad-bike.

          Zuma, Rocky and Skye hopped to the slide and were quickly transported to their pup houses that transforms into their vehicles. Not taking a whole five minute or more, the team were zipping off across Adventure Bay and dashed to the beach, while Rocky temporarily resides in Katie's pet salon to fix the carrier that could be used to contain the kittens later. Shifting our focus back to the three heroes, Ryder had shortly changed his transportation into something that can hover above the bay water and had dashed further along with Zuma and Skye hovering above them - probably ahead of them "There's no sign of them yet Ryder" Skye reports, using her goggles to get a closer view of the horizon "Copy that".

          "Ugh. . . It's getting harder and harder to open my eyes. . . The sun's warmth is perfect to sleep to as well. . ." The Cockapoo struggled to keep her eyelids open due to her fatigue winning over what she desires to do - help. Maybe. . . After this, I can take a nap, yeah. . . She wearily rubbed her eyes to wake and to only find herself almost crashing down to the bay "KYAAAAA" she grasped her wheel and drove it higher before the bay could engulf her and her copter "Skye? Skye!" Someone calls her name. Noticing it came from the pup-tag that wraps itself around her neck, she then gave attention to its cry "Oh, Ryder! I'm fine, sorry for worrying you" Ryder gave her a few words of concern and insisting her to rest already, but of course, Skye's determination to save the poor kittens ran through her mind, and the kittens are probably having a not-so-good time on their raft with bay water surrounding them. "I want them to be found as soon as possible Ryder. It's not fun being stranded there" she laughs, yet the tone in her voice lacks of humor – it was somehow dry and just an act of comfort.

"Because I exactly know what
it feels like to be alone in a new environment. . ."
