Runaway Chase saves the PAW Patrol (HCIC Series Part 1)

Life of a Stray

Chase made it to the outskirts of Adventure Bay, he was looking left and right for something to eat. He came across some leftover pizza from Mr. Porter's.

Jackpot. He thought.

But he was beaten to it by a bunch of stray cats. They defended their bounty with their sharp claws out, Chase bared his fangs to fight but he was too tired and hungry. He missed every attack he made and received a few scratches on his body.

"Arrrrgh! F-fine! You can have it!" He said in defeat.

He walked for a bit more and found a tray of fries. He sighed and walked to it carefully, but he had to give it up to a homeless child at the corner. Even if he was a stray, he still had a heart of gold.

He made it out if Adventure Bay and into the forest. He started to limping due to fatigue and hunger.

"Just a little longer." He murmured.

He managed to make it to the foot of a mountain where he rested beside a nearby tree. He cleaned his wounds and started to hallucinate.

"Skye, pups, Ryder. I hope you guys are happy now." He said before drifting off to sleep.

The last thing Chase saw before losing consciousness was blurry but surely was a man.

"What's a pup like you doing here?" The man said as he picked him up and carried him to his campsite.

His campsite was just a single tent with a campfire, and a grill set up beside his black pickup truck in a clearing.

He rested Chase on a pillow in his tent where he tended to Chase's wounds. He noticed Chase was twitching and turning his head slightly, meaning he was having a dream.

Chase's Dream
He just woke up in time to wake up the rest of the pups. He was back at the Lookout in his puphouse.

"Oh, it was just a dream." He sighed.

He came out of his house in his uniform and his megaphone out, but he noticed that there were no puphouses there.

"Huh? Where are the other's houses? And where are the other pups?" He looked around and saw no one, not even Ryder. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and was shocked because he wasn't at the Lookout anymore.

"Where....where am I?" He said.

He looked around and saw a white gazebo in a grassy landscape. It was decorated with flowers and bells. And there was a red carpet leading to it, splitting the large group of people into two. It was a wedding reception.

"A wedding? Why am I at a wedding?" He took notice of himself as he was dressed in a tuxedo and a bowtie.

"Am-am I.....getting married?" He asked as he ran to the reception.

He saw everyone in Adventure Bay seated at the event, Mr. Porter and Alex, Katie and Cali, Jake, Carlos, Farmer Yumi and Farmer Al, and what made him jump was seeing Ryder and the pups in the front row.

He saw that two of them were missing.
"Hey, where's-."

"Look, their are so beautiful together." Rocky said, completely ignoring Chase who was right in front of him.

"Wait, who are you.........NO." He turned around to see Tracker and Skye at the gazebo with Mayor Goodway in front of them.

"I know pronounce you Pup and Wife, you may KISS THE BRIDE." Mayor Goodway happily said.

Those words made Chase's heart, or what's left of it, shatter into a million pieces again.

"No, no, no, NO, NO!" He shouted as he tried to get to them. But he couldn't move, his paws were stuck to the floor like glue.

He saw Tracker make an evil grin as he went in and kissed Skye on the lips.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Then, he woke up.

End of Chase's Dream

He bolted upright while panting and breathing heavily.

"That.....was......not......pleasant." He said.

"Yep, by the looks of it, it wasn't." The man said as he was preparing food for Chase.

"Who are you?" Chase asked.

"I'll tell you over dinner." He put a bowl of dogfood in front of Chase, which he gladly accepted.

They both had dinner together around the campfire.

"So? I asked who are you." Chase reminded.

"Well, my name is Charles Tremwood. But you can call me Charles. How about you? What's your name?" He said with a warm smile.

"My name is Chase, that's basically it." He said in between servings of food.

"Are you sure? Because there's a pup that looks like you from Adventure Bay, he was a police pup from a group called the Paw Patrol. And his name was Chase too." Charles said.

"How do you know all that about me?" He said in shock.

"Well, ever since you saved the Crown of the princess of Barkingburg, we have been keeping a close eye on you and your team." He replied.

"A close eye on me? What for?" Chase asked.

"You and your team." He corrected.

"Well their not my team anymore, I know their probably throwing a party because of me not being at the Lookout." He started to tear up.

"That reminds me, how did you get here? I found you at the foot of a nearby mountain. Shouldn't you be with the Paw Patrol protecting your town?" Charles asked in concern.

"Not anymore, I r-ran away." He looked away from the man.

Charles was shocked to know that the pup leader of the Paw Patrol actually ran away. He went up close to the pup and patted his head.

"Why would you want to run away?" He asked in a comforting voice.

Chase explained everything that happened which led him to running away.

"Are you sure they wouldn't look for you?" He asked.

"They can't. I left everything I have with them so they can't track me." Chase explained.

"Oh. Well........"

"Please don't call them! Please!" Chase begged.

"I wasn't, I know you have your reasons for wanting to run away. I was gonna ask of you wanted to come with me." Charles said.

"R-really? You're taking me in?" Chase's eyes lit up.

"I can't take you in as my own, you are still a part of your owner's family. But I will take care of you until you decide to go back. I can't leave a pup like you out here, can I?" He smiled.

Chase jumped into his arms and licked his face. "Thank You! Thank you very much, Charles! But if you're taking care of me until I go back, that's gonna be a long time." He said.

"You're welcome. Now come on, we have to pack up and get back to HQ." Charles said.

"HQ? I haven't asked you what was your job." Chase asked.

Charles fixed up all his things and closed the door of the trunk.

"Hehe, you'll see. It's gonna be fun, at least to your lifestyle." He said as they got in his truck and drove off.

Goodbye Forever, Adventure Bay. Goodbye Forever, Pups.

Goodbye Forever, Skye.
