Dawn was beginning to break in LA. Small rays of light began to make its way all throughout the city.

"Ohh… My head." Rubble slowly stood to his feet and rubbed the back of his head. "What happened…?" The events between last night and this morning, flashed through his mind. Milly, the pitbull, Anubis Circle, and… "Apollo!" Rubble's eyes shot open as everything came back clear to him. He looked at his surroundings and realized he was still in the junkyard. Jackal, Sphinx, and Pharaoh were all knocked out and sprawled across the area. This made Rubble chuckle. "I'd expect no less from my hero." He said. "But… where did he go? Where's Milly?" He wondered. "Milly?! Apollo?!"

Apollo, Lance, Sirena, and Milly had long left the junkyard during Rubble's unconscious state and were all walking down the sidewalk.

"We need to go back! We can't just leave him!" Yelled Milly.

"You don't know anything about that pup." Apollo countered. "For all you know, he could have been working with Anubis Circle."

"I found that guy at the community park downtown after tracing Milly's scent." Said Lance. "He pulled a fast one and ran away after I questioned him." The snow colored pit looked mildly frustrated as he recalled the encounter.

"He's not a bad guy. He helped me…" Argued Milly.

"That pup must have one too many screws loose if he thought he could take on Anubis Circle alone." Apollo shook his head.

"But he did take them on! And he was amazing…"

"Seriously?" Asked Sirena, cocking her brow. "He took on the Anubis Circle… ALONE?"

Milly nodded her head. "Yeah. He made it look so easy. I watched as he took them out one by one. He was strong for a pup his age and very smart too. " Milly said, while clenching something in her paw.

"Hmph. Well Pharaoh would have buried him like a bone if I didn't show up." Muttered Apollo.

"And you would have been Pharoah's squeaky toy if I hadn't come to back you up." Lance smirked, making Apollo glare at him.

"What were you doing on their turf anyway? We had been searching for you all night!" Said Sirena.

"I thought that you guys might be worried about me… so I tried to take a shortcut to the old park to find you. I had gotten lost in the junkyard and next thing I knew, I was cornered." Milly explained. "That pup, Rubble. He's the one who helped me. The one who found me."

"Rubble?" Sirena thought to herself for a second. Why does that name sound familiar?

"That's why I have to return the favor! We HAVE to go back! If Pharaoh's gang wakes up before him, then…"

Apollo stared at the worried expression on Milly's face. It was rare for him to see her like this. He sighed.

"Lance, go back and check on that guy. Make sure he gets out of Pharaoh's turf in one piece." Said Apollo.

"Since when do you get to order me around?" Asked Lance, turning to the shepherd and cocking his brow. He turned to look at Milly and saw her pleading eyes. He sighed. "Alright… but I'm only doing this for Milly." He emphasised.

"I'll go with you." Milly said.

"No." Apollo countered.

"But…"

"It's too dangerous for you to go back. Lance knows how to handle things alone." Apollo explained. "Besides, we've all been up throughout the night. It's time we all got some rest."

Milly wanted to argue further, but knew that there was no use. Apollo's decision was set. Rubble… Please be okay. Milly unclenched her paw and stared at the object she was holding, a yellow pup-tag with a wrench symbol.

"OH NOOO!" Rubble shouted at the top of his lungs. "Where is it?! Where?! Where?!" Where?!" He searches junk heap after junk heap. He even retraced his steps as best he could. "My pup-tag… is gone!" He wailed. "I am so toast… and not the yummy buttery kind. First Chase is gonna yell at me, and then Ryder…" He sighed and hung his head low. "I guess I'll just have to face the music." He said before walking off. "I could really use a nice bath right now…"

Rubble walked the pathways of the junkyard until he was finally able to find an exit. By some stroke of luck, it just so happened that this particular exit led to the same street of the meat shop that Rubble had visited the previous night. Being able to recognize where he was, Rubble continued to walk up the street until he finally arrived at the hotel parking lot. The parking lot seemed to have a lot more cars parked than when he first left. He approached the doors of the PAW Patroller.

"Please still be sleep. Please still be sleep." He whispered. He slowly opened the doors and peeked in. Everyone was still sound asleep. "Phew." He walked over to his pillow and plopped down on it. "What a night…" he closed his eyes and relaxed.

An alarm on Ryder's pup-pad began to go off. Ryder reached his hand over and tapped the screen, stopping the alarm. He sat up with the most outrageous looking bedhead. He yawned and stretched his arms before picking up his pup-pad.

"Hmm… Only 7:35? It's a little early, but I guess now's a good time to get ready."

Ryder got out of bed, wearing his light blue pajamas. He walked into the bathroom area to brush his teeth and afterwards grabbed a washcloth and bath towel. After showering and drying himself off, he combed his hair and donned his signature wardrobe and jacket. He picked up his pup-pad and looked at it once again.

"8:00 now. I guess I should wake up Katie." He said. He pressed a button with Katie's image and began to call her. He made sure to switch the call to audio only, out of courtesy, just in case Katie wasn't presentable.

"Hello…" Katie answered with a mild hint of sleepiness in her voice.

"Good morning Katie. Sorry to wake you, but it's 8:00 and we need to get to Hollywood as early as we can."

"Ok Ryder, I'll start getting ready now." She replied.

"Meet me on the first floor when you're ready, so we can have breakfast."

"Ok."

Ryder ended the call and put his pup-pad away. Ryder left out of his room and rode the elevator down to the first floor. It may have been early, but there was still quite a few people up and about and Ryder could smell the delicious food leaking into the lobby, all the way from the breakfast hall. He walked in and picked up two trays before standing at the end of the short line. He filled the trays with various foods from the counters and took a seat at a table to wait for Katie. He waited and waited until it seemed as if an hour had passed by.

Ryder sighed. "I guess that stereotype about girls taking a long time to get ready, has some truth to it."

"Is that so…" Said a voice, coming from behind him. Ryder quickly turned around to see Katie, all dressed and in her usual clothes.

"Oh… Katie." Said Ryder, nervously. "I fixed you a tray, but the food is kinda cold now." He told her, trying to change the subject.

"Well, I guess that's partly my fault." She laughed nervously as she sat down across from him. "Us girls take a lot of pride in our appearance. Everything has to look just right." Katie began to taste her food. "Mmm it's still a little warm. It's really good."

Ryder grabbed a fork and began to eat his food as well. After both him and Katie finished, they made their way out of the hotel and to the PAW Patroller.

"I wonder if the pups are still asleep." Ryder whispered before opening the doors. Before the doors could even completely open, Cali jumped into Katie's arms, purring with happiness.

"Aww, I missed you too Cali." Said Katie, as she nuzzled her precious cat.

The pups were still all sound asleep. Ryder stepped onto the vehicle and proceeded to wake them. "Ok pups, time to wake up!" He called out to them. Rocky, Skye, Zuma, Chase, and Marshall all sat up yawning.

"Good morning Ryder." The five pups said sleepily.

"Rocky, I hope Cali wasn't too much trouble for you." Katie said.

"No, she was just fine. She didn't even wake up once." He said, rubbing the sleep from his eye.

"Oww… Why is my tail so sore?" Chase asked while rubbing his tail. He tried to stand, but dropped back down. "And my legs… feel so tired."

Ryder looked over to Rubble and realized that he was still asleep. "Rubble!" He called. "Rubble, time to wake up!" The bulldog didn't even so much as budge.

"I got this Wyder." Zuma said, walking over to Rubble. "Rubble it's breakfast time!" Zuma shouted. He was shocked to see that Rubble was still snoozing away. "Huh? But… that always works."

"Hmm…" Ryder rubbed his chin. "Did Rubble stay up all night?"

"Negative Ryder. Rubble was sleep even before me." Chase explained. Ryder walked over to Rubble and lightly shook him.

"Rubble. Rubble." He called to him softly.

Rubble rolled onto his stomach, still snoozing away. "Apollo… thanks for… saving me…"

Zuma laughed aloud. "Haha Rubble's dreaming about Apollo."

"We should just let him sleep, Ryder. He probably had a hard time sleeping last night, because of his excitement." Katie told him.

"That's true, but it's really not easy for Rubble to stay awake." Ryder answered back. After thinking about it for a few more seconds, he just decided to shrug it off. "Well no time worrying about that. We gotta get you pups to Hollywood. Ryder stood back to his feet and commanded Robo-dog to drive off.

"Now to check up on Everest. Ryder pressed tapped a button on his pup-pad and in response, the PAW Patroller doors closed and a wide screen appeared. He tapped Everest's symbol and the group all gathered around waiting for an answer. Not too long after, Everest appeared on the screen. She looked a little sad and defeated, And this raised questions in the other's heads.

"Hi Everest," Ryder spoke. "How is your trip with Jake going?"

Everest sighed in response. "Everything is going so wrong."

"What's happening?"

"Jake's parents hate me; especially his mom… Her cats are causing trouble to frame me and now she has threatened to put me out. She won't even listen when I tell her that her cats are the ones causing trouble…"

"That's horrible." Said Ryder. "Have you tried telling Jake?"

"Jake believes me, but he said there's no use in talking to his mom, because he knows that she won't believe it without proof."

"Those cats sound as bad as the Kitten Catastrophe Crew." spat Chase.

"Everest, I know you'll figure out a way to make things right." Skye assured her.

"No cat can outsmart a dog." Said Zuma. "They would need bwains for that." He laughed. Cali looked at him and narrowed her eyes as she let out a loud and angry meow. "Uh… Except for you Cali. You have plenty of bwains. Heh heh." He laughed nervously. The cat scoffed and turned her nose up in the air.

"Remember you're a member of PAW Patrol too. You can win Jake's mom over. Rocky encouraged her.

"Yeah, we believe in you Everest." Marshall said. "You're strong and smart.

Everest was able to smile at everyone's support for her. In just those moments, the little bit of confidence she had spiked.

"Thanks everyone. What you said really means alot to me. I'll bring these cats down. Just watch." She smirked. "So have you guys met Apollo yet?"

"Not yet. We're on our way to Hollywood right now. There's a special event featuring Apollo today." Chase explained.

"Really? I hate that I'm missing this." Everest whined.

"The event's going to be covered on TV. You should be able to watch it." Stated Ryder.

"It is?" Excitement was welling up in the husky's eyes.

"Yep. It'll be on the same channel that Apollo comes on." Answered Skye.

"I can't wait to see i-"

"Everest, breakfast!" Called Jake.

"Gotta go guys. Thanks again, and make sure you get an autograph for me. Either that or a souvenir." She smiled.

The call ended.

"I could use some breakfast right about now." Said Marshall.

Ryder laughed. "Alright, I'll make sure to get you pups squared away."

Chase pumped up his paw. "Next stop, Hollywood!" The other four cheered.

A very young gray german shepherd pup sat in front of a large tube TV as he watches the show Apollo the Super Pup. A young boy with light brown hair, who looked to be about 9 years old walks into the room.

"There you are Apollo." He says as he walks up behind the pup. "You had me so worried." He gently rubs Apollo's head, making the pup's tail wag with extreme happiness.

"You know I never miss an episode of Apollo." The pup said. "I just love how brave and awesome he is."

The young boy laughs. "You both have a lot in common. I guess that's why I named you after him. You're the superest pup I know." He reached over and wrapped his arms around the pup, hugging him tightly. "When I grow up, I wanna be a hero too. I wanna join the police force… and help out as much as I can." The boy smiled to himself.

The pup smiled. "When that happens, I'll be right there as your police dog, as your partner." The pup licked the boy's cheek. "I'll always be by your side…"

Apollo stands in his trailer, dressed in his super pup attire. He seems to be in deep thought as he recalls the dream he had a few hours ago.

That dream… that memory… was from long ago. I've never dreamt of the past like that. It shouldn't be odd considering yesterday was the anniversary of THAT day. The day I lost him… The day I lost all of them. Apollo shook his head, trying to clear his mind of the painful memories.

"There's no use thinking about that now…"

There was a knock on his trailer door.

"You about ready in there? We're about to start rehearsal." Said a voice from the other side.

Apollo placed his mask over his face, before looking into the mirror.

"Alright… It's showtime."
