Chapter 1: A Special Visit

Ryder and the pups had just finished helping Mayor Goodway redecorate City Hall. It was June 27, and the President of the United States was opt to visit Adventure Bay on the 28th. Everyone was excited, especially Chase. Years back, Chase had worked for the President's Canine Army, as general, and left with an honorable discharge.

Ryder sat down in the Lookout living room and turned in the news. The main headline read, "INSTABILITY IN IRAQ FOLLOWING UNITED STATES INVASION." Ryder shook his head. "Man, what's wrong with the world these days?" He turned the TV off, said good night to his pups, and went to bed.

The next morning the pups were up bright and early. Well, most were. Chase, as usual, was the first one awake. Next to wake up was Skye, whom Chase had a crush on since the day she joined PAW Patrol. Then Rocky and Zuma woke up. The four walked over to where Marshall and Rubble slept.

"Guess I'll have to use the spoon again," said Skye. She picked up a spoon with her mouth and tapped it gently against a dog bowl. Marshall and Rubble jolted awake.

"Breakfast time already?" asked Rubble.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" said Marshall.

"Today is a very big day guys," said Chase.

"That's right!" said Rocky. "President Jack Clifton is visiting Adventure Bay today!"

"Yippee!" said Skye, doing a backflip. "Come on guys. Let's go get ready!" And with that, Marshall, Zuma, Rubble, Rocky, Chase, and Skye went inside the Lookout to not only eat breakfast, but to get ready to meet the President of the United States.

Meanwhile in Iran...

"I'm sick and tired of the United States trying to control not only us, but Iraq and Afghanistan!" yelled a masked man to four other masked men. He took off his mask and pulled out a pair of binoculars. After glimpsing at a US Marines base off in the distance, the man smiled evilly. "We will make them pay."

"Mr. Yamamoto," said one of the masked henchmen, "our flight for Adventure Bay International Airport departs in an hour. We should get going like right now."

"You're right, Gahami," said Mr. Yamamoto. "Let's go get the United States."

Back in Adventure Bay...

Ryder and the pups walked down the Lookout driveway, towards City Hall. They passed by Mr. Porter's restaurant and saw Alex playing in his tree house. He gave them an energetic wave. Ryder smiled and waved back. Meanwhile, Marshall and Chase started falling behind.

"Chase, can I ask you something?" said the Dalmatian.

"Anything buddy," replied the German shepherd.

"Is it true that you have a crush on Skye?"

"W-w-what?" said Chase, his face turning red. "N-no way!" But Marshall wasn't convinced.

"Then explain something to me. Why are you always worried about Skye on missions?"

"I'm not."

"Really? What about the time when Alex got carried away on Zuma's kite-surfboard? Or how about when Chickaletta was trapped in that crevice? Or how about when Skye almost hit Captain Turbot's lighthouse when Smiley was in it? Or what about when she crash landed in the snow and was lost? Or when she had to save the eagle that was trapped by its nest?"

"Okay, you have me beat," said Chase, defeated. "I do like Skye. A lot, actually. Can you please not tell her though?"

"No problem buddy. Your secret is safe with me."

"Thanks, Marshall."

Since the President of the United States of America was visiting Adventure Bay, it was a big deal. People from all over the country came to see him. So naturally the amount of people walking was similar to what one would see in New York City. Ryder turned to his pups and smiled. But that smile quickly faded when he noticed that some pups were missing.

"What's wrong Ryder?" asked Skye.

"Chase and Marshall aren't here. They must have gotten stranded behind us due to all the people here. Could you do me a favor and go find them?"

"Sure thing Ryder! I'll be right back." Ryder watched as the Cockapoo ran off in search of Chase and Marshall. After a few moments of seeing nothing but people's legs, she spotted them. She ran over to them.

"Look, Skye's coming this way," said Marshall. "This is an opportunity for you to tell her how you feel Chase."

"No way! What if I say the wrong thing? What if I look like an idiot? What if she doesn't feel the same way as I do?" At this point he started to whimper.

Marshall placed a paw on Chase's shoulder. "You may never know unless you make the first move. Girls like that. It makes them feel special." At that moment, Skye finally reached them.

"H-h-hey guys," she said, out of breath. Marshall simply pushed Chase closer to her.

"Skye," said Chase nervously. "Are you okay?"

"Me? Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little out of breath is all. Anyway, Ryder noticed that you two were missing. He and I were getting worried. You guys coming to catch up or no?"

"Yeah, we were just talking," said Marshall.

"About what?" said Skye.

"Umm...nothing," said Marshall. "Let's go. Last one to Ryder is a rotten bone!"

Two flights happened to land in Adventure Bay at 4:00 that afternoon. One landed at Adventure Bay International Airport. The other landed at Adventure Bay Executive Airport. A private limo escorted the President and his son, Jack, Jr, to City Hall.

In nearby Foggy Bottom, Mayor Humdinger watched as news stations reported in Adventure Bay. "Why does the President of the United States visit Mayor Goodway and not ME?" he pouted. "I know, I'll go over to Adventure Bay and have some fun." He left without a word to his cats.

At Adventure Bay International Airport, Mr. Yamamoto got off the plane with his four henchmen. They were Asad, Gahami, Zalwei, and Otto. They noticed the rapidly growing crowd around City Hall.

"Well boys," said Mr. Yamamoto, opening his suitcase to reveal an RPG, "let's get to work."
