Pups Save Sweetie

"I don't know about you pups, but I'm super excited" exclaimed Ryder.

The PAW Patrol were aboard the Air Patroller heading for the kingdom of Barkingburg. The Princess had invited them to give a presentation about themselves to the royal guard and the subjects of Barkingburg the next day. She wanted everyone to know how special they are.

"It's such an honour" stated Chase.

However, none of the other pups seemed to be too happy. They were slouched in their seats with glum looks on their little faces.

"What's the matter with the rest of you?" asked Ryder with a concerned look.

"It's not that we're not happy" replied Marshall. "We're just worried".

"About what?" asked Chase.

"SWEETIE!" they all said in unison.

"Every time we've gone to Barkingburg is because she's trying to become queen" protested Rocky.

"For all we know, she could be planning something right this minute" mentioned Rubble.

"And we haven't forgotten what she did to Chase" Skye but in. "Trapping him the dungeon and calling him a thief was the worst thing she's done".

That's when Ryder and Chase spoke back.

"I understand how you guys feel" said Chase. "But we have to duty to the princess."

"And besides..." said Ryder. "...everyone deserves another chance, think of all the chances we've given Mayor Humdinger".

Bearing that in mind, the pups perked more positively for the rest of the flight. However, since mentioning Sweetie made Chase realise they ought to be very careful. As the Air Patroller landed in their underwater HQ, Ryder and the pups geared up in their Mission PAW gear before heading off to the castle in the Mission Cruiser, along with their vehicles. The Earl and Princess were waiting for them at the front gate, with Sweetie portraying her fake nice pup act.

"Welcome back PAW Patrol, it is a privilege to have you as our guests" greeted the Earl.

"I'm so excited" exclaimed the princess. "It'll be like one big sleepover!"

"You're probably tired from your long journey, the butler will show you to your rooms" the Earl said, leading them inside.

As the pups were shown to their rooms, Chase was keeping a close eye on Sweetie and her every move.

"Good night, PAW Patrol" she said sweetly. But Chase wasn't falling for her act again.

That night, everyone was fast asleep. But not Chase. Getting the sense that Sweetie was planning to cause trouble, he had decided to search the castle with his night vision visor. After picking up her scent and heat signatures from her paws, Chase set off.

"I know you're up to something Sweetie..." he said to himself. "...and whatever it is, I'm gonna find out."

Walking through the castle hallways, up and down stairs, and into secret passageways, Chase soon found himself at a tower door. Listening inside, he could hear a familiar laugh and snort. Bracing himself for what he was about to find, Chase slowly opened the door without making a sound and snuck inside.

In the room, Sweetie was concocting a devious plan. She knew she would never become queen with the PAW Patrol around, so, she was planning to take them out, with POISON!

"Hahahahaha" she cackled. "Tomorrow, I stick this in the PAW Patrol's water. Then when they drop down dead in front of everyone, the people will think the princess killed them. She'll be arrested and I'll be queen!"

Shocked at what she was planning, Chase knew he had to do something. Normally he wouldn't hurt a fly, but he couldn't anything happening to his family. Using his skills in Pup-Fu, he launched himself at Sweetie and pinned her to the floor.

"I heard everything you said Sweetie, and I'm not going to let you get anyway with this" he said furiously.

Realising she had to get rid of him, Sweetie used her legs to push Chase off herself. This threw him across the room, hitting his head and landing flat on the floor. Sweetie walked over to Chase, who now a badly bleeding head injury, whispered "This time, I win", before he fell unconscious.

Before long, the sun had risen and everyone in the castle had awoken. The pups were enjoying some luxury dogfood for breakfast whilst Ryder was setting up for their presentation.

"Hey, has anyone seen Chase?" asked Marshall.

"He's probably gone for a walk around the castle grounds, it must be hard to him to back here after what Sweetie did to him" said Zuma.

Thinking about this, the pups went back to eating, not knowing what kind of trouble their friend was in. Back in the tower, Chase had just regained consciousness, but his face was covered in blood and he felt dizzy. But, remembering clearly what Sweetie was planning, he knew he had to break free. But there was a problem, the door was locked.

Out in Barkingburg, the stage was set for the big presentation. All the pups were set in their gear along with their vehicles, but Ryder was concerned about where Chase was. Knowing he couldn't wait any longer, the presentation began.

"Attention people of Barkingburg" announced the Princess. "Today, I would like to present to you, the heroes of Adventure Bay, the PAW Patrol!"

As the show went on, Ryder began talking about them whilst the pups showed off what they could do with their gear and vehicles. Halfway through, they decided to take a break.

"Here Ryder" said the Princess sweetly. "I thought you and the pups could use a nice cool drink in this heat".

Little did they know that Sweetie had snuck into the kitchen earlier that morning to add the poison to the water.

"Thank you" Ryder replied.

Standing next the Princess, said sniggered to herself, "Any minute now, they will drop down dead."

Just as the PAW Patrol was all about to take the first sip, there came a cry.

"DON'T DRINK THAT!" came a voice, causing everyone to turn around. It was Chase. He had managed to break down the tower door using the winch in his pup pack. He ran through the crowd and up onto the stage.

"Chase? What do you mean? And what happened to your face?" asked Ryder, shocked at the state his German Shepard was in.

"Ask her!" Chase replied, pointing at Sweetie.

Putting on her sweet innocent look, Chase knew needed evidence of the stunt Sweetie had tried to pull.

"Pup Tag, activate!" he barked, which caused his Mission PAW Pup Tag to begin playing a holographic clip. It contained the entire scene of went down in that tower a couple of hours ago, including Sweeties confession.

Knowing she'd been caught, Sweetie began to make a run for it back to the castle. With the PAW Patrol hot on her tail, Sweetie knew she couldn't outrun them, so she soon took off in her purple copter car.

"Skye, follow her in your Sky Cycle" Ryder called.

"On it" Skye replied, before she was high in the sky.

The air chase was on between Sweetie and Skye. The royals were watching from below in horror. As Skye was picking up speed, Sweetie accelerated her own speed and made herself spin in mid-air to try and outrun Skye. However, the stupid West Highland Terrier hadn't put her seatbelt on. As she fell, she managed to grab the wall of the tower, but she couldn't hold on for long.

"HELP!" she screamed like a baby.

Acting fast, the PAW Patrol boys headed up the stairs to the top off the tower to help.

"How do we get her down?" asked Rocky.

As they stared down the side of the wall, Sweetie was beginning to lose her grip. Thinking quickly, Chase had an idea.

"I'm gonna jump, grab my back paws." he said.

The others were puzzled, but then figured it out once he jumped. One by one, the pups formed a chain out of themselves, long enough for Chase to grab Sweetie by her collar. Then, altogether, they pulled Sweetie up to safety. Sweetie was happy to off the wall, but felt annoyed that the pups she despised had saved her.

"Sweetie, don't you have something you want to say to the PAW Patrol?" the Princess said sternly.

"Thanks, I guess" she replied crossly.

After that, the Princess confined Sweetie to her doghouse for the rest of the month. Chase was taken the royal vet to get head injury checked out and cleaned up.

"Is he gonna ok?" asked Rubble.

"He'll be fine, he just gonna have a headache for a while, but this will help" the vet replied, handing Ryder a bottle of painkillers.

Once his head was bandaged up, Chase was spoken to by the Earl and the Princess.

"Chase, we're so sorry for what Sweetie put you through" the Princess said.

"It's ok" Chase replied. "I was just doing my PAW Patrol duty."

"Think about how badly things could have gone if he hadn't gone searching last night" said Zuma

"And we're sorry about the presentation Ryder" said the Earl.

"Don't worry about it, we don't need to show off what we do." replied Ryder. "But remember, if you're ever in trouble, just yelp for help."

After that, Ryder and the pups boarded the Air Patroller ready to head back home to Adventure Bay. After getting a special hug from the Princess, the pups took a nap on the flight home after their busy day.

"Good work pups, especially you Chase" said Ryder, recalling all of his recent heroics and that old book of legends his parents left him.

Meanwhile, back at the Barkingburg castle, Sweetie sitting in her doghouse feeling cross.

"Someday soon PAW Patrol, you're going to regret the day you messed with me" she said to herself. "And as you for you Chase, I will never let you find out who you really are."
