Chase Runs Away

A Second Opinion... and a Third and a Fourth

In Town

Skye's once peaceful walk turned into a tormenting trip. She wanted more than anything to clear her mind up but ended up more stressed then when she woke up. She couldn't help it. As soon as her mind even suggested the idea of her dream pup being in love with her best friend, she couldn't stop thinking about it.

"I have to talk to the other pups about it" She thinks as she walks back towards the lookout.

The walk she had taken, managed to get her through a full hour. By this time, the pups were sure to of been awake and eating breakfast by now. As she gets closer to the lookout, she realizes a problem.

"What about Marshall? She says to herself as she heads for the entrance.

She knew she'd have to get the Dalmatian away from everyone else if she was gonna talk to the other guys. She knew he wouldn't appreciate the guys talking about his crush right in front of him so she had to find a way to keep him busy. As the cockapoo walks into the lookout she sees the pups eating breakfast and rubble watching Apollo the Super Pup. They all turn and see the cockapoo.

"Hey Skye, where were you this morning?" Rocky asks curiously.

"Yeah, we spent the first half of the morning calling your name. We thought you were just sad in your pup house so we were giving you space" Rubble says, turning his attention away from his show.

"Oh, sorry guys I was just going for a walk to clear my head up a bit" Skye explains.

The pups forgive her absence.

"That's ok Skye, we undewstand" Zuma says.

The pups then continue to eat their breakfast. Skye decides to take this opportunity to speak to the Dalmatian.

"Hey Marshall. How's your food?" Skye says in her naturally sweet voice.

"Oh, hey Skye. It's good as usual" Marshall says nicely.

"Oh ok that's good. Do you have any plans for the day?" Skye asks.

"Ummm no, not that I know of, why?" Marshall replies.

"Well, uh I was just thinking maybe you could do some afternoon patrolling like Chase used to do" Skye suggests.

Marshall looks puzzled.

"Really? Why me?" The Dalmatian asks.

"Because if we're being honest here, you're definitely the next best person to be leader" Skye replies with flattery.

Marshall beams with a happy smile.

"Aw Thanks Skye!" Marshall says. "I'm not sure about leader but I can definitely patrol the area. Marshall is on the case!" The Dalmatian says with a chuckle as he runs to get his fire truck.

"Skye you are one smart pup" The cockapoo says in her head.

"Well well well, if it isn't Skye with her scheming look on" Rocky says with a laugh as the other boys walk over to her.

"Yeah Skye, you know as much as we do that Mawshall being the leader is a bit of a stwetch. So, why did you want him to leave?" Zuma asks curiously.

Skye rolled her eyes at the nosiness of her teammates.

"Ok, I asked him to leave because I needed to talk to you guys and I don't want him around to hear it" Skye explains.

"Ok. So what's up?" Rubble asks.

Skye takes a deep breath.

"Ok you guys be completely honest. How do you guys each feel about Everest?" She asks.
