Hello everyone! Here is the first chapter of Foggy Bottom Has Fallen. This wouldn't have been possible without the success of Adventure Bay Has Fallen. I'd like to thank everyone for the amazing reviews! I hope you enjoy this story.
Chapter 1: Ryder's Date Ruined
"That was so much fun," said Skye, as she and Chase made their way back to the Lookout.
"I know. We should have dinner together more often," said Chase as he nuzzled Skye. Skye giggled. She and Chase have been dating for almost a year, ever since the attack on the Lookout by Mr. Yamamoto of Iran. The two were able to successfully thwart his plan, with a little help from Mayor Humdinger. Although the Presidential Adviser was killed, the President, as well as his son, were rescued. Had Mr. Yamamoto not blown up the Lookout, as well as himself and his accomplices, he would've been put on trial for abduction and terrorism, as well as attempted murder.
"So, Chase. Guess what Friday is?" asked Skye.
"Uhh... the 30th?" Skye stared blankly at him. "Of June?" Skye showed a disappointed look on her face. Chase smiled. "Our anniversary. How could I ever forget that?"
Skye smiled sweetly at him. Even though they've been dating for about a year, they haven't shared their first kiss yet. Despite Marshall's nagging, Chase ignored him. Chase had noticed that ever since the terrorist attack, the pups, especially Marshall, have grown immature and have continuously annoyed Ryder about petty things.
It was after dark, and Chase and Skye arrived back at the Lookout. After it was blown up, the United States government repaired it and improved it (i.e. bullet proof glass, voice activated doors, security cameras). They noticed that the other pups were fast asleep.
"Good night, Skye," Chase whispered.
"Good night, Chase," Skye whispered back.
The next morning, Ryder received a call from Katie. "Hi, Katie," he said.
"Hey Ryder," the blonde said nervously. "I was wondering if maybe you'd like to go on a date with me?"
Ryder was taken back by this, but he said, "Sure. Why don't you come over to the Lookout this evening and we can have dinner?"
"Okay, see you then!" Katie hung up.
Ryder walked over to his pups, who were waiting for breakfast. "Pups, Katie is coming over for a date tonight."
"Okayyy, Ryder," Rubble said with a smirk. Ryder's face turned red and he rolled his eyes.
"I know I haven't been around much lately, but I want you guys on your best behavior."
"We'll do our best, Ryder, sir!" Chase declared. The other pups howled in agreement.
That evening, Ryder had set out a candlelit dinner for two. He was dressed in a nice suit. Katie walked over to the Lookout with Cali. She wore a nice pink dress with ruffles in it.
"You look really nice," said Ryder.
"Thank you, Ryder," Katie said with a blush.
"Pups, please watch over Cali for me," Ryder called.
Cali ambled on over to where the pups were. They then went up the elevator to give Ryder and Katie some privacy.
After a while, the six pups and cat were bored out of their minds.
"I really want to know what they're talking about," groaned Marshall. "Who wants to go down there and see what's happening?"
"Me," said Rocky, Rubble, and Zuma in unison.
"Oh no. No, no, no!" Chase stopped them in front of the elevator. "We can't eavesdrop. That's rude. What if Ryder catches you guys spying on him? He won't be happy at all."
"Not unless he catches us," Marshall said as he pushed Chase aside. Cali followed them into the elevator. Chase sighed as he and Skye walked into the elevator to make sure the pups didn't get in trouble.
Ryder was talking to Katie about their most recent rescue.
"I can't hear what they're talking about," whispered Zuma.
"Me neither," said Rocky. Suddenly, Chase let out a sneeze. Ryder and Katie didn't hear it, but Cali sure did. She was so startled that she ran out of the elevator and towards Ryder and Katie.
"Cali! NO!" whispered Skye.
"I got her!" Marshall called.
"Marshall, no!" Chase yelled.
"What the-" Ryder said as Cali jumped up on the table and knocked the candle over. It fell on the carpet, setting it ablaze.
"Oh, God!" Ryder yelled in frustration as he ran to the kitchen and came back with a fire extinguisher. He easily put out the fire.
"If you want, Cali and I can go back," Katie said, knowing that Ryder was going to have a long talk with his pups. She excused herself and went home. Ryder sighed in disappointment, and turned to his pups.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" he yelled. He has never yelled at his pups before. "YOU RUINED MY DATE WITH KATIE!"
"We're really sorry Ryder..." Chase started.
"Stop right there! Sorry's not going to cut it this time."
The pups dropped their ears and whimpered. "But Ryder," said Rocky.
"No! I don't want to hear it." Ryder sighed. "I don't think I've ever been more disappointed in you pups than I am now. Especially you, Chase. You've always been a responsible pup. I counted on you to watch over Cali and the other pups. But I guess I can't count on you anymore." Ryder stormed off to his room and slammed the door.
"I'm sure Ryder would consider getting rid of us now, if he didn't before," Rubble whimpered. The air was silent. Suddenly, there was the sound of crying. Everyone turned their attention to Chase, who began to break down.
"I failed..." he sobbed. "I failed you guys. I failed Ryder. No wonder he hates me now!" Skye walked over and hugged him, telling him that Ryder didn't hate him. Soon, the other pups joined in a group hug.
"I'd do anything to fix this," said Marshall.
"Maybe we can," said Rubble. "Remember how happy Ryder was when we volunteered to sing at the talent show? Maybe we can sing an apology song for him."
"How will we get him out of his room?" asked Zuma.
"I've got an idea!" Rubble said in a singsong tone.
