Rocky was never the type of dog to think about romance- due to a difficult past, he focused more on his life now- The Paw Patrol and keeping the people in Adventure Bay safe- that's all that matters, right?
However, he starts to feel odd around Zuma- his heart always lifts, he always adores his gaze, and he takes any chance to chill with his surfing best friend. But he can't like Zuma, right? Not the way Chase likes Skye, he couldn't! Yet, as he hangs with his best friend more, he starts to realize he may see Zuma more than just a friend.
Of course, with the light, comes the dark- Rocky struggles with a dark past- a past he'd rather not talk about- but a past that might just try to resurface. Nightmares haunting his mind, and missions reminding him of the terrible events that led to his place in the Paw Patrol, Rocky struggles to accept his past- and he starts to doubt his place in the Patrol.
Rocky isn't the only one struggling, however.
Zuma feels left out in the patrol. Even in water rescues, Zuma often feels cut short in missions, not given the chance to showcase his abilities- not given the chance to really feel like a part of the Paw Patrol. When he starts to fear his friends may overshadow him, Zuma starts to feel more and more distant from the Patrol- and as much as he hates it, a part of him feels like he isn't worth being part of the patrol anymore
Will the two connect, and help themselves through their struggles?
Or... will everything go wrong...?
