Zuma ran after Charm trying to figure out how to make things right. He suddenly stopped abruptly and let out a gasp when he realized what he just did to Skye. Aww... shit. Why'd I have to be such a jerk? Zuma shook his head ashamed.

"Chawm! Whewe awe you?" Zuma called out running toward the woods. He finally spotted her next to a tree.

"What do you want, Zuma?" Charm said.

"Listen, Chawm, I need you to heaw me out."

Charm sat there quietly waiting for Zuma to continue.

"This was all a big misunderstanding. Evewyone was excited and evewything just got so cwazy, it just happened too fast. That was why I tuwned wed, because it was so unexpected. I don't think what Skye did was intentional. Please, just twy to undewstand."

Charm stared at him for a long time lost in thought. She knew Skye well enough to know she wouldn't be hurtful and mess with Zuma and Charm's relationship on purpose for her own liking. Besides, Skye and Chase had a little 'thing' going on themselves, right? It was obvious Skye and Chase liked each other. Zuma's probably right. In the heat of the moment and all of the excitement, it just happened. That kiss on the cheek was maybe like a kiss a sister would give to a brother. Skye probably didn't mean it to hurt me and Zuma's relationship on purpose. Charm let out a sigh and said, "Sure. I understand."

Feeling relieved, Zuma said, "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you! Now, I have a few things to take cawe of with Skye. I said some things to her I'm not really proud of."

"What did you say?"

Zuma told her everything as they walked back to the Lookout.

———————————————————————————

Zuma saw Skye in her pup house. Charm decided it was best for them to discuss the issue alone and went ahead and hung out with the other pups and to tell them she wasn't mad. Zuma walked toward Skye as he cleared his throat nervously causing her to look up at Zuma's eyes and look back down at the ground.

"I didn't mean to be so wude to you, Skye. I just got mad and it slipped out of my mouth, I feel weally, weally bad," Zuma said.

"Why do YOU feel bad? I feel terrible. Everyone thinks I'm in love with Chase, but I'm really not. I hate saying this now, but I liked you, Zuma. I really did. During all of the excitement, I just accidentally kissed you. When I kissed you, for a second there, I thought you liked me too, especially when you turned red. Thinking that, got me so happy, I smiled. Then Charm ran to the woods. And then you told me off, and I realized you don't have the same feelings for me. At first, I was pretty pissed and jealous, but then I realized how much it hurt Charm and I knew I was going to have to find someone else to love. I was the rude one, playing Charm's guy right in front of her."

"I agwee with some of the things you said, but I still think that wasn't wight for me to say what I said, and I want you to know it was all out of anger and they wewen't twue words. Okay?"

"Okay." They both gave each other a fist bump and Zuma ran over to Charm. FINALLY. Everything was dealt with and right like it should be.

I'll try to update soon. Hope you liked it. Good night. P.s. I'll try to make the next chapter more action-packed and interesting. zumaisthebest is out.
