PUPS AND THE DALMATIAN SURPRISE

A/N: This is another multi-chapter story. Jusr remember that all characters out of the show are improvised and have nothing to do with the other users' OCs. Enjoy.

CHAPTER 1: MOTHER-DAUGHTER TALKING

In a town called Twilight town, the community has been dealing with problems like robberies, kidnapping, fires and many more. There was also a fire station where lived an adult female Dalmatian named Linda with a lot of other firefighters. That evening, everyone returned to the station after putting out a really large fire.

"That was some fire! I thought we would have a tougher time with that." Ben, one of the firefighters said.

"You can say that again! I'll need a bath now." Linda replied, shaking the ash out of her fur.

"Hey, watch it!" Everyone said at the same time, ash floating everywhere.

"Oops, sorry." Linda replied, lowering her head in embarrassment.

"It's okay. Now come with me so I can give you a bath." Ben replied as Linda followed. Soon, she was in the tub and enjoying herself. Ben helped clean her back and her head. Linda was relaxed until Ben began scrubbing her belly.

"Hehehehehehehehehehe! Hehehehey! That tihihihihickles! Hehehehehehehehehehe!" Linda giggled and squirmed.

After she was done, Ben helped her dry off and then asked. "We have the rest of the week off. Do you want to go to the park?"

"Not yet, I need to visit the graveyard." Linda replied. Ben didn't notice, but she was still a little sad.

"Okay, then. Tomorrow?" He asked.

"Sure."

At the graveyard, Linda searched the graves to find the right one. Eventually, she found it and was feelling her eyes fill with tears as she watched the grave. On the tombstone it read:

Here lies Marshall

Honorary Twilight town fire pup

Rest in peace

When she read it, she began sobbing and whimpering as she whispered, "Why? Why did you have to die? You were supposed to take over for me when I get too old to do my job. I just hope your sister can do that." Then she broke out into tears. She cried for good 10 minutes before she left the graveyard. But, little did she know, tomorrow's visit to town was going to change her life.

It was early morning, and the PAW Patroller drove into Twilight town with Ryder, original 6 PAW Patrol pups and some of the family members, like Skye's parents, Chase's father and brother, Marshall's sister Misty and Zuma's mother and sister.

"I can't wait till we begin exploring! Already, I want to see the fire department I grew up in!" Misty exclaimed excitedly as she was jumping around.

"Settle down, Misty. You'll have time to see everything. Besides, your brother is still asleep." Ryder said with a chuckle as he pointed to a sleeping Marshall.

"Oh, sorry. I forgot." Misty replied. A few minutes later, the other pups and the adults woke up.

"Now, pups, while Misty goes to the fire department, the rest of you can go exploring the town. Be careful, though. We don't know this town like Misty does so don't get lost out there." Ryder warned.

The pups and adults nodded before separating into groups and exploring while Misty ran to the fire department. It's been three months since Brian was living with them, and Misty already became the second fire pup of the PAW Patrol. When she arrived, she knocked on the door. A few seconds later, a man opened the door.

"Hello, how may I… Misty!" The man exclaimed as he grabbed the dog and hugged her.

"Hi, Ben! It's been a long time, isn't it?" Misty asked, wagging her tail.

"Yeah. I'm guessing you're here to see your mother?" Ben asked.

"Yes, how did you know?"

"Just a hunch. Come in, she's upstairs." Misty nodded as she went up the stairs. When she reached the door at the end of the hallway, she knocked.

"Who is it?" Came a voice from the other side.

"Can you guess?" The moment Misty said that, a gasp came from the other side of the door. 5 seconds later, the door opened.

"Misty! You're here!" Linda exclaimed as she hugged her daughter.

"Hey, mom!" Misty exclaimed as she hugged back. Once both let go, Linda invited Misty inside to talk to her.

"I was just about to call you, Misty. But now that you're here, I can ask you something. But, please think about it before answering." Linda replied.

"Go on, mom."

"Ok. I know you're still young, but, when I wouldn't be able to do my job as I would get too old, would you be willing to take over for me?" She asked.

Misty saw this as a tough thing to answer as she never thought about that. She didn't want to leave her friends, but she didn't want to leave her mother either.

"I need to think. That's a tough one." Misty replied. Linda nodded, figuring that would happen, so she decided to change the subject. "Anyway, want to see what changed last time you were here?" She asked.

"Sure, mom." Misty answered as the two walked out of the room.

Ryder took Chase, Skye, her parents and Marshall to the park so they could have fun. While Chase, Skye and Marshall were playing, the rest were watching them.

"I can't believe it, they're so young, yet they get so serious." Brian replied in awe.

"Yeah, and by the looks, Chase and Skye look so cute together." Miranda replied.

"What?" Brian asked, surprised.

"Oh, they didn't tell you? Those two are a couple now." Miranda said.

Brian was so proud of his daughter. She already picked a handsome pup and he liked her back. But then, a voice was heard.

"Help! Someone help!" Ryder turned to see a kid with worry in his eyes as well as a teenager.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"The hotel to the East is on fire! That's where we're staying! My dad is trying to phone the firefighters!" The kid said in distress.

Before Ryder could say anything, the two ran off. Soon, Marshall noticed the smoke.

"Ryder! Look!" He shouted.

Ryder turned around and gasped. He didn't need to think twice.

"Marshall, gather the group and head to the PAW Patroller, I'll call the others. No job is too big, no pup is too small!" Shouted Ryder.

Meanwhile, Misty and Linda just finished the tour and were just about to head to the room when…

"PAW Patrol, to the PAW Patroller!" Came Ryder's voice making Linda stop in her tracks in shock.

"Ryder needs us!" Misty shouted before turning to Linda. "Sorry, mom, I need to go." Then, Misty ran off, leaving Linda in her thoughts.

Who in the pup's name is…? Linda's thoughts were once again interrupted.

"Attention, all firefighters and fire dogs! The hotel on the East side of town is on fire and there are people trapped inside! Everyone head over there immediately!" Shouted the station boss on the intercom.

Linda decided not to think about what happened with Misty and focus on the task, unaware that she was about to see her daughter in a different light.

A/N:Good start, isn't it? Linda visits the graveyard daily, her daughter comes for a visit and then leaves for a mission. What will happen after that? Find out next time.
