PAW Patrol: Love, Charm

Vet

Zuma's POV

"Charm, are you okay?" I asked her "yeah I'm fine, Zuma." She told me, "just a little tired is all."

Charm stumbled a wittle, and almost fell over twice.

"Whyder!" I yelled.

"What the matter, Zuma?" Whyder asked.

"Charm doesn't wook too good."

"Are you okay, Charm?" Whyder asked her.

"I said I'm fine, Ryder." She said again, her wegs wobbling. She wayed down fast and shwook her head. "Woah, I need to lay down."

"I think we should get you to Katie's and see what's going on."

"I told you, Ryder." She said again. "I'm fine!"

"Not from the looks of it you aren't, come on."

Whyder picked her up carefully and we headed up to the stweet. We all wode to Katie's place.

Ryder's POV

I paced around the room a little. Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. Charm was in there, probably sick. I'm waiting on Katie's word on it though.

"Ryder, can I talk to you for a second?" Katie asked.

I walked around the corner with her and she kept her voice low.

"Ryder, Charm's test results came back."

"And?" I asked.

She sighed. "Her stomach is filling with fluid. It's going to keep her from digesting her food over time."

"Isn't there anything you can do about it?"

"No, Ryder. There's no cure. I can't release the air with a tube. Her esophagus is too small, even for the smallest tube I have. I hate to say it, but she only has a few hours."

A cold sweat ran down my back. How am I gonna be able to tell the pups? Especially, Zuma? Charm is his best friend, he'll be crushed.

"So... she's gonna... you know..."

"I'm sorry, Ryder."

I sighed.

I walked around the corner and the pups were all there.

"What's wrong, Ryder?" Rocky asked, seeing the grim look on my face.

I sat down in the chair closest to me.

"Pups, I have some bad news..."
