It was a cloudy afternoon in Adventure Bay and you could hear sirens along the streets that belonged to Adventure Bay's hero's, the Paw Patrol. Ryder, the leader or the Paw Patrol, was parking infront of the lookout as he watch his two other pups argue with each other. In the police truck was his second command in charge, Chase the German Shepherd and police pup. Next to him driving the fire truck was a spotted dalmatian with blue eyes and also the first pup Ryder has had since his he was 8, Marshall the Dally and Fire/Medical pup. They just came back from a risky mission and Marshall had almost got himself hurt and they started arguing on the way home.
"Why didn't you watch where your going?! You almost hurt yourself!" Chase yelled
"For the last time Chase, I had my helmet stuck to my head! How was I supposed to see anything?!" Marshall yelled back
They jumped out of there trucks after parking them and walked closer to each other, shouting random things at one another.
"If you weren't your clumsy self then I wouldn't have to worry every time I look at you!"
"If you weren't so stuck up and serious AND overprotective then you wouldn't have to worry!"
"Why are you such a freak of nature?!"
"Why are you such a fun sucking jerk?!"
"Bad luck Marshall!"
"Controlling Chase!"
"Clumsy idoit!"
"Overprotective danger zone!"
"Runt!"
"Dirty dog!"
"Ugh! I don't even know why I'm talking to you! I have better things to do!"
"I don't know either! You should go and worry about your girlfriend more then me! You do it anyway!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
They both walked in different directions. Chase stomped his way in the lookout and Marshall stomped in his pup house and slammed the door. Ryder sigh in defeat while the rest of the pups walked out of the lookout confused.
"Ryder? Is everything ok? Chase looked angry and was rambling stuff under his breath" Skye said
"Chase and Marshall had a fight but it's nothing serious. Chase was just really worried about Marshall's safety" Ryder explain and they all walked inside.
They saw Chase laying on one of the cushions glaring angrily at the floor and was muttering under his breath.
"Where's Marshall? I haven't seen him since you guys got here" Rocky asked as he looked around
"He's in his pup house doing the same thing as Chase" Ryder replied
"Are they going to be ok Ryder" Rubble asked worriedly
Ryder smiled sincerely and petted Rubble's head "Of course they are Rubble. They do this all the time when one of them is either in trouble or in danger. Chase and Marshall...have a really special and strong bond so a fight like this won't break them apart".
Skye and Zuma smirked at each other "Sounds like Chase and Mawshall have goo goo eyes on each othew" Zuma said.
"Yeah, it's so obvious!" Skye squealed
"Uh hello! I'm in the room!" Chase yelled as he came over
"Oops, sorry about that Chase" Skye blushed, a little embarrassed
"It's fine but it's not what you all think. Marshall is my best friend and I love him as that. Not in a romantical way" Chase said, not looking for any eye contact.
They all rolled their eyes at Chase's stubborn comment, even Ryder and said in unison "Suurrrre".
"I'm serious. I'm going to go talk to him" Chase said and walked out, a little flushed.
They all chuckled and started to relax around the longue room for about ten minutes until the doors of the lookout opened. They expected Marshall and Chase walking next to each other closely, talking happily, but instead they saw a very worried Chase.
"Chase? What's wrong?" Rocky asked
"I can't find Marshall" Chase answered fearfully
Meanwhile
Marshall walked through the woods deep in his thoughts. He decided to run off in the woods to cool off and think.
'Why can't Chase trust me? He knows I can handle myself and that I am well capable of taking care of myself' Marshall thought angrily but the stopped himself.
'Maybe he was just being overprotective of me because he was worried about me. He's right about a few things, I am a freak of nature. Besides, I think it's cute that he shows his protective side. W-W-Well I'm saying that in a best friendly way. Yeah, I'm gonna go with that. And I was kinda mean to him, I hope I didn't hurt his feelings' Marshall thought and turned around.
Suddenly, Marshall felt a blast of pain shoot through his chest. Marshall's vision began to be blurry as he looked down when he saw something come out his chest. Even though his mind was fuzzy, he knew what was happening. He's been stabbed! He screamed painfully and fell to the floor. Blood tricker around him.
"Chase..." Marshall whispered before he shut his eyes, falling unconscious.
Marshall opened his eyes slowly. It was blurry at first but then it cleared up and he could see that he was still in the forest, lying on the ground. He picked himself up, a little sore, and rubbed his neck. His fur was shinny and clean, almost as if nothing happened.
"Ow...what the heck happened?And how long have I've been here?" Marshall asked himself
Marshall looked around him, he saw a bit of blood mushed up with the dirt and then it came to him.
"I've been stabbed...I just died" Marshall muttered to himself "H-How?! Why?! Oh geez! Oh geez!"
Marshall looked up at the sky and there were dark purple clouds, ready to realise it's water on the town.
"I should go back, they're gonna notice I'm gone sooner or later" Marshall muttered to himself as he started walking the way he came
Suddenly, a black figure flashed infront of Marshall but quickly disappeared as it came. Marshall gave a yelp in surprise but shook his head.
"Your just seeing things Marshall, there's nothing there" Marshall told himself
Marshall looked behind him and started to run back, not looking what was infront of him because his eyes were closed in fear but thanks to his pup fu skills he could get around . When he finally opened his eyes he bumped into brown looking fur and Marshall, along with the brown creature, rolled a few feet back. They stopped when gravity took it's place with Marshall on top of the brown creature. Marshall's eyes widened when he recognized who it was. It was Chase. Marshall immediately moved himself off his best friend, who was now sitting up, and had a very light, but very noticeable, pink blush on his cheeks.
"Sorry about that Chase." Marshall muttered loud enough for Chase to hear
"It's ok. Are you ok?" Chase asked
"I-I'm fine. Just got a little spooked back there" Marshall said nervously
They stayed silent, uncomfortable with the feeling of the air that surrounded them. They couldn't stand the silence any longer so they snapped their head towards each other.
"I'm sorry about the fight" They both said
"It was my fault. I was being bossy and way to overprotective so I'm sorry. I'm sorry I called you all those names to. I need to trust you more." Chase reassured
"No Chase, you were just being yourself and caring for me. It's my fault, I should've watched where I was going and I should've never yelled at you for just caring about me. I'm sorry." Marshall said
They smiled at each other and gave each other an affectional hug, squeezing each other tightly.
"You forgive me?" Marshall asked
"Yes. Do you forgive me?" Chase replied
"Of course" Marshall chuckled and they released each other just in time for the other pups and Ryder to come running towards them.
"Marshall! There you are! We were worried there for a second buddy" Ryder said and scratched Marshall's left ear.
"I'm good!" Marshall said with a toothy grin
Everyone laughed and headed inside happily. Once the last pup was insides, it finally started to rain. Each pup snuggled in one of the cushions or the floor and Ryder sat on his bean bag.
"I'm glad we weren't out there before it started to rain. I hate getting wet" Rocky complained
"We know" Everyone else groaned
Marshall held the side of his neck and rubbed it in pain but gave a tiny yelp and groan from the stinging. Chase noticed Marshall's painful expression and whispered over to him to make sure he was ok.
"You ok?" Chase asked in a whisper
"Yeah, my neck is just a little sore is all. No need to worry" Marshall whispered back with a small smile
Chase smiled back and then turned back to the conversation with the other pups. Marshall looked down at his neck nervously and worriedly.
"I hope I'm right" He muttered then turned to talk to the other pups
Unnoticed to everyone, the black figure Marshall saw I the woods was outside the door, smiling evily at Marshall. There were two small holes on Marshall's neck that started glowing red.
