Chapter 1

The past week had been very stressful for the whole PAW Patrol as there had been many rescues that week. Marshall and Skye were waking back to the Lookout tower.

"I don't know how much of this I can take." Said Marshall.

The two pups that have had the most missions were Skye and Marshall, having to go on every mission.

"Same…This is killing me! We need a break." Said Skye.

Marshall and Skye walked into the Lookout Tower and saw Chase lying down.

"Hey Skye! Hey Marshall! What's up?" questioned Chase.

"I'm so damn tired…" said Marshall. He walked to the corner and collapsed into a deep sleep.

"So, Skye?"

"Chase, I'm tired too. I'm going to go by Marshall and sleep for now…" said Skye walking to Marshall.

'Does Skye like Marshall? Probably only as a friend…Wait…'

"Skye?"

"What, Chase."

"Do you like Marshall? Like more than a friend?" questioned Chase, causing Skye to take a step back and fall onto Marshall waking him up.

"I'M UP! I'M UP!" said Marshall, jumping up and landing on Skye.

"Hehe, sorry Skye. I didn't mean to."

"It's all good!" said Skye, grinning.

Chase thought about it, but he pushed it to the back of his mind as he proceeded to look back to the television and watching a recorded Formula Drift. Other than Apollo, Formula Drift, IMSA, and Pirelli World Challenge were the only other shows they watched. Immediately, their tags rang out a phrase that annoyed both Skye and Marshall.

"PAW Patrol, to the lookout!" Said Ryder through the pup tags.

"Ryder needs us!" said Chase, Marshall, and Skye. All three of them ran to the elevator and sat down, waiting for Zuma, Rocky, Rubble, and Everest who was staying at the lookout.

"Wow, no accidents Marshall?" questioned Rocky.

"We were already here and there wasn't anything I could trip on."

The elevator went up, but the pups didn't get into their uniforms.

"Why aren't we getting into our uniforms?" questioned Skye.

"I'm not sure, Skye." Said Rocky.

The elevator went up and all the pups got into position.

"Thanks for coming pups. You may be wondering why I called you. I have an announcement. For one week, we will be going to Laguna Seca. I was able to reserve the track and I also reserved some sports car that we can use for the race. The cars are as follows; One Chevrolet Corvette C7 Z06, One BMW M3 E92 GT3, Two Porsche 911 GT3 RS, One BMW M3 E92, One BMW M3 E46 Competition, and One Shelby Cobra Replica."

"WOOO!" All the pups started cheering, so excited that they were going to go racing. The last time they went racing, Chase and Zuma were duking out for first place when Marshall took the middle and passed both Chase and Zuma for the win. The first time, Skye shut out the other pups and dominated the lead. Marshall ended up snapping an axle on the third lap and got the DNF on that race.

"So, we are heading to California, but it will take a little bit of time. We should get to the PAW Patroller. If we leave tonight, we should make it to Irwindale tomorrow afternoon."

All the pups ran over and moved their vehicles into the Paw Patroller as Ryder proceeded to move his ATV into the Paw Patroller. Ryder and the pups then started to pack their belongings up when Ryder got a call.

"Hello, Ryder here."

"Ryder, its Jake. So, have you told Everest yet?"

"Not yet, Jake. I was waiting till we get there. Will you meet us at the track?"

"Yeah. Have a safe drive."

"Thanks Jake. See you later."

Ryder hung up the phone and let out a sigh of relief as he didn't want to deal with another mission at the moment.

'Got everything. Let's put this into the Paw Patroller and head off.'

When Ryder walked out, he saw all the pups were packed and ready to go, sitting in their respective seats on the Paw Patroller.

"Wow, you all must be really excited for this trip!" said Ryder.

"Yeah! I've only dreamed of driving a C7 Z06 and now I can actually drive one! Wahoo!" Yelled Everest.

"Remember pups, safety first. We all need to get fitted once we get to the track for our race suits." Said Ryder sitting in his seat and bucking his seatbelt in.

"Yes sir, Ryder sir!" said Chase.

"Come on! Hit it, Robodog!" said Ryder. Robodog pushed the throttle to as much power was needed to start going. The trip was smooth and Ryder determined that the pups were able to go and mingle after only being on the road for a few minutes. Marshall immediately walked to Everest and pulled her aside. Everyone knows that Marshall has a crush on Everest, but what no one knows is that Everest doesn't see Marshall as more than just a good friend and Everest didn't know about Marshall's crush on her..

"What's up, Marshall?" questioned Everest.

"I…um…was wondering…that…um…would you be…willing to go out…with me?"

"Marshall, I'm flattered. I really am, but I only see you as just a good friend, nothing more…I'm really sorry."

"Oh…"

Marshall just walked away with his head down. Chase saw this and went over to talk to Everest.

"Everest, what's up with Marshall?"

"He asked me out and I said that I only saw him as a friend."

"That explains a lot…"

"What do you mean?"

"Marshall told me that he had a crush on you since we found you in the Arctic Circle."

"Oh my!"

"Yeah…"

Everest and Chase walked away, Chase walking back to his seat and Everest walking back to her seat. Marshall didn't shed a tear, but was depressed but he tried to hide it from everyone. The cab was silent for the next six hours as the Paw Patroller hit the freeway.

"Pups, it's getting late. I think it's time to hit the hay."

"Goodnight Ryder, goodnight pups." Said Marshall but not as peppy as he usually is. He walks to his pup house and closes and locks the doors.

"Pups, what's wrong with Marshall?" questioned Ryder.

"Well…umm…He asked me out…" silence filled the room.

"Finally! So, where are you two going on your first date?" questioned Rocky.

"I…I…I said no…"

"NO?!" said a shocked Zuma.

"Why is that shocking Zuma?" questioned Skye.

"Skye, you know Marshall has had a crush on Everest since the Artic when she joined the PAW Patrol."

"Did everyone know but me?!" said Everest.

"I didn't know either." Said Skye.

"I think I should go talk with him." Said Rocky.

"Don't. Just go to bed and we'll see how he's doing in the morning." Said Ryder. The rest of the pups turned in, but this was the tip of the disappointment iceberg. What no one knew either was that Skye liked Marshall, not Chase.
