Chase had woken the pups and everyone was making their way to the Lookout for breakfast. The pups sat down in front of their bowls as Ryder poured their food. Each of the pups stopped and looked down to where Rocky's bowl should be.

"I don't know if I can do this" said Marshall "I miss him so much."
"He was so full of life" said Rubble whimpering.
"We have to find a way" said Zuma "Wocky would want us to."
Chase walked over to where Rocky's bowl would be and laid down crying softly. The other pups walked over to Chase embracing him and each other.

Ryder spoke up "Pups, I've decided we are going to go on a trip for a while. I've spoke to Jake and Everest is coming as well. We need to spend time together as a family. When we're ready to be a team again We'll come back. I've arranged for coverage while we are away."

"Whatever you think is best Ryder, Sir" said Marshall all the other pups nodded in agreement.
Ryder and the pups loaded up the Paw Patroller and soon were ready to set out.
"So where are we headed Ryder, Sir?" asked Chase
"I was thinking we would head for Colorado" said Ryder "Maybe snowboarding in a new place will take everyone's mind off of things for a while. Then we're heading to Virginia, I have an idea and we are going to need to stop by and see a friend of mine."

"Ok, what's in Virginia?" asked Chase "I only know of one place in Virginia"
Ryder winked at Chase "You'll have to wait and see. It's a special surprise, mainly for you."
"Well, now you have my curiously peaked" laughed Chase.

The pups settled down in their places for the rest of the trip. They arrived in Colorado and as soon as Everest saw the snow on the mountains her tail started wagging like a the prop of an airplane.

"Oh Wow, this is so awesome!" said Everest.
"I knew you'd like it" said Ryder "I found a little place where we can just spend some time healing and snowboarding."
The Paw Patroller pulled to a stop and the doors openned. The pups all ran out into the snow as Ryder walked out into the clean fresh air.
"This is going to be amazing" said Rubble pulling his snowboard out of the Paw Patroller.
"How long are we staying, Ryder" asked Marshall
"A few days" said Ryder "We have an appointment to get to this weekend."
"Were?" said Skye
"You'll have to wait and see' said Ryder
"Wocky would have hated all this wet" whimpered Zuma "But he would have loved the view."
All the pups rushed over to Zuma and embraced in a group hug.
"We have to stay strong" said Chase "There will be tears. But we can face anything together."

The pups decided to spend the rest of the day snowboarding. Chase, Zuma , Everest and Rubble decided to have a trick contest. It was quickly decided that Everest and Rubble were the best at snowboarding but all in all everyone had a great time.

That evening as they sat around a campfire everyone decided to tell their best Rocky memory. There were tears and laughs hugs and before everyone realized it Marshall and Everest had slipped off to stare at the stars together. Skye noticed and went to drag Chase off in the opposite direction. Rubble and Zuma looked at each other and laughed.

"I don't know about you guys but I'm beat" said Zuma "I'm going to bed"
"Me too!" yawned Rubble.
Ryder looked towards where his pup couples had wandered off. 'They grow up so fast' thought Ryder walking into the Paw Patroller.
As he turned back towards the pups he yelled "Don't stay up too late!"
"We won't!" came the call from both directions.

The next few days flew by and as they were starting to get things loaded back into the Paw Patroller Ryder stepped out and called Chase to come inside.

The Pups stopped and looked at Chase.
"What? I don't know" said Chase
"Well don't keep him waiting" said Skye nuzzling Chase as he followed Ryder inside.
"Yes sir, Ryder Sir!" said Chase
"Chase, you're one of my oldest friends" started Ryder "This has been harder than anything I have ever dealt with. You have been the strength of this team when I thought I was ready to give up."
"We're here for you Ryder" said Chase
"I know, and I appreciate it" said Ryder "But I can't let this one go."
"What do you mean?" asked Chase.

"I can't let Rocky die in vain while that jerk walks free" said Ryder "I've spoken with a friend and he has helped me come up with a plan to do something a little different."
"Are you planning on killing Humdinger?" gulped Chase "I'd would hate to, but you know I would have to stop you."
"No!" laughed Ryder "This is legitimate.I'm taking you to Quantico, Virginia. I've got you enrolled in the FBI academy K9 program. We're going to take Super Spy Chase to the next level."
"No way!" said Chase "I'm going to be a fed?"
"Auxiliary, you'll still work for me" explained Ryder "But you'll be working for the FBI to help take down Humdinger."
"That's great" said Chase "I'll do anything I can to expose that bastard for what he is."
"According to my friend at the FBI, it more than just Humdinger" said Ryder "Don't get me wrong. K9 Academy is going to be the toughest thing you've ever done. But when you're done, Paw Patrol will be a force to reckon with."
"When do I start" asked Chase
"Monday, so you need to get some rest over the next few days you're going to need it" said Ryder
"Thanks so much for this chance to prove myself" said Chase as he jumped up and licked Ryder's face.

The other pups had walked in and heard just enough to understand what Chase was about to delve into.
"We're all behind you Chase" said Marshall "I know you'll be the best in the class."
It was a long month of training for Chase. Skye noticed although he was exhausted on the weekends when they got to see him. Chase had also become quite muscular and she couldn't help but notice. The other pups notice that he was becoming very confident in his abilities.

"Wow Chase" said Ryder "My friend says you are one of the best they ever trained. I hope they let you come home soon."
"I graduate next weekend" said Chase "This week is nothing but tests. I think I'm ready"
"I know you're ready Chase" said Marshall "Just don't forget us little guys once you graduate."
"You're kidding right" said Chase looking hurt "You guys are my driving force. I love the training but the time away from you guys is really hard. What have you guys been doing while I was away?"
"Dude, We've been twaining ouwselves" said Zuma.

The pups had all be working hard and although there were tough days together they had each managed to better themselves in their prospective jobs.

"I think we're ready to go home" said Ryder "It's time to get our lives back."

Chase graduated with honors and was now a federally certified K9. The instructors admitted they would love to keep Chase in the FBI but they also understood what the Paw Patrol provided.

The Paw Patrol returned to Adventure Bay to a hero's welcome. Mayor Goodway proudly reinstated the Paw Patrol to active duty. Katie was the first to jump into Ryder's arms telling him how much she had missed him.

Ryder and the Pups walked into the Lookout and Ryder called the Pups to the Control Room.

As the pups arrived in the elevator jumping into their spots.
"Paw Patrol ready for action, Ryder, Sir" said Chase.
"Pups, welcome back to the Lookout" said Ryder "Let's face it our first few missions are going to seem difficult. But you pups have been strong so far and stuck together like family. I know you can do it and now we have a few new skills that we can use."

"I haven't wanted to ask" said Zuma shyly "Awe you going to weplace Wocky."
"I've thought about it" said Ryder "Rubble has taken over the recycling duties and Marshall is trying his best to help me work on the vehicles. I just don't think it's time to worry about that yet. I'll let you know before I decide to do anything."
Skye had already walked up and was hugging Zuma. "No one will ever replace Rocky" said Skye "No matter what happens, we will always remember him."
Zuma turned to look at Skye and cried into her shoulder. "I want to move on" whimpered Zuma "But it just huwts too much."
"Zuma" said Ryder petting his head "If you're not ready. We all understand."
"No, I have too" said Zuma "I have too fow Wocky."

Ryder's Pup Pad rang.

"Ryder Here" answered Ryder "How can I help you?"
"I know you just got back but I can't find Chickaletta" said Mayor Goodway.
"No jobs to big, No Pup too Small" said Ryder "We'll be on the way."
"Pups let's go save a chicken" laughed Ryder.

"Well some things never change" laughed Marshall as he ran to the slide followed by the other pups.
