Marshall's POV:

"Quick, Katie, get Skye onboard so we can bandage her! Quickly! Before she loses too much blood!" I said, with Katie rushing aboard the Mission Cruiser while squeezing Skye in some towels to slow the bleeding. However, the towels and Katie's left arm began to turn red due to how much blood Skye was losing. I noticed we didn't have a proper bed to set Skye on, but just then Chase brought his landing pad in as a substitute for a bed. His facial expression showed that he was getting more and more worried as Skye continued to bleed on her sides.

"Don't worry Chase," I said, acknowledging the look on his face, "We got her."

I had already laid out a table full of medical equipment, which we already had on board, in case there ever was a major emergency. This was definitely one of those emergencies. And while I didn't want to stain the still-brand-new equipment, I'd hate to lose Skye even more. One of my best friends. A member of the PAW Patrol. One of Ryder's pups. One of my most important patients ever. Now I started to panic in my mind, but I guess it was also visible, or at least to Chase I assume, as he came over and stood next to me to try to help calm me. I had never been good under a lot of pressure, much less when I had what felt like a thousand beady eyes on me. 

But when he stood next to me, something inside of me changed. It was almost as if all the problems in the world melted away, and everything was good for the time being. But the feeling started to fade after a few seconds. But even as it continued to fade away, the memory of feeling began to burn itself into my brain. And it was almost like a wake-up call for how important this was and why I couldn't let my feelings get in the way.

I closed my eyes and took a slow, deep breath in, and as I breathed out, I reopened my eyes I said to myself, "I got this." I then calmly began my operation on Skye.

"Okay, Chase I'll need you to be my temporary assistant "nurse" and help with the equipment and supplies!"

"Chase is on the case!" he said as he called out his catchphrase, walking over towards the equipment table, waiting readily for commands. "Awesome Chase! Now, I'll need Katie to need you to help me with the stitches and to wash the dried blood out of Skye's fur! That is, if you're up to it." I said.

"Oh course, Marshall! It would be my pleasure to help!" she said she walked over to the opposite side of the bed, awaiting my commands, as Chase was doing.

"And I've got the rest. Now let's hop to it!" I finished as I braced myself for the procedure I was about to perform.

"Alright, here we go. Bandages," I said to Chase, who grabbed them from the table with his muzzle and set them in my outstretched paw. I then quickly began to wrap the gushing wounds on her left side.

"Katie, if it's not too much trouble, could you please prepare a room for surgery-like operations?" I asked as we pulled up at her salon. "On it!" she said as she rushed off the Mission Cruiser and into the salon.

"Wait, w-what?! " Skye inquired, who had been relatively dazed and quiet up until now, or at least until I mentioned the word "surgery". "N-No!" she said, whimpering, "That's gonna hurt! Please, no more pain!" she said, starting to shake a little, slightly kicking her legs in the air as she spoke. "Shhhh, sh, sh, sh," I said as I placed a paw to her mouth, trying to calm her. "Katie, make sure there are aesthetics, too," I said with a chuckle as Chase began to unload the equipment table and headed inside to a back room where Katie was as she quickly turned the empty space into a medical room able to be used for surgery-like operations.

"Now, Skye, I'm not gonna do surgery," I said, much to her relief. "But," I said, seeing the panic returning in Skye's one good eye as she heard the word "but", "rather I'm just gonna do some..... stitches. And you'll be asleep so I promise you won't feel anything. Ok?" I asked. She took a deep breath in and out and said "Ok. Just anything to stop my current pain!" she said, a tear falling from her eye. "Ok then, great, let's go!" I said as I grabbed the landing pad with my teeth and carried it and Skye out of the Mission Cruiser and into the salon.

Ryder POV:

"W-Where am I?" I said as I awoke, dazed. It appeared as if I was in a small, white, padded room, tied up to a chair with my hands behind my back and my legs to the legs of the chair as a big flat screen TV I was facing turned on, only to show dim, dark green room with a shipping-crate-like walls and a cement floor with a single light hanging on the left side, and a shadow showing up on the other. I then heard a voice from the shadows that made my blood run cold.

"Hello, Ryder."

"You," I said, with my voice so bitter that I surprised even myself.

"That's right! The one and only! So, how you been doing? Cause I heard all pups have been doing good. Well, all of them except Chase and Skye that is." the shadowed figure chuckled.

"What did you do to them?!?!" I shouted in an angry voice.

"Wow! "Y'know, your reaction to all of this is just priceless right now! said the figure as it continued to laugh. "But, don't worry, they're both still alive. Though I can't say one of them necessarily wants to be" the figure said with a now deviously happy tone.

"And for what reason?" I said through gritted teeth as I tried not to completely lose my temper. "Well," it said, "let's just say that Skye isn't a virgin "down there" as she used to be, if you know what I mean. Oh, wait a minute. You do! HA!" it said, noticing the anger in my current facial expression and laughing as it continued to go on, "Though I can't say Chase would have done anything to make her lose her "virginity" any sooner than she did. Besides, it was quite fun watching Chase's reaction as did her anyways! I mean, she even orgasmed! Not to-"

"Ok, that's it!" Ryder interrupted. "If I get my hands on you, I'll kill you before Chase does! That is, if he doesn't kill you FIRST!"

"Well," it said, interrupting Ryder, "Then I'd hope for his sake that he and the other pups can survive their next-to-last challenge." It then clicked what sounded like some kind of button button and I heard static before hearing a voice exactly like mine. "Are we good?" it asked the voice on the the other side that sounded exactly like me. "Yep, I'm about to drop it in....... 3...... 2..... 1..... aaannnddd..... Now!" the voice finished as I heard a falling sound followed by a 'PLOP!' into what sounded like "Well done! You've earned another day's worth of being charged! Now, all that's left to do is kick back, relax, and see what happens next! And lucky for you and me, we both have front row seats! As I have access to all of the cameras in Adventure Bay! And some satellites that are aimed directly at the town. So well get to watch the whole the thing live as it happens! So let's take a look, shall we?" the figure said as the big screen then switched to a view of Katie's salon security camera's.

There were two horizontal boxes being shown on the screen, with one top containing Skye in a medical bed while Marshall and Katie were applying stitches to her heavily damaged body in a dark room with a light overhead Skye. The other showed Chase and the others sitting in the main room, with Chase pacing around the room with a worried expression on his face as he did so.

Finally, after some time, Marshall finally came out with Katie behind him and gave the news of how it went. "Hey, guys!" Marshall said as he stepped out of the room. "Marshall! Boy, I am glad to see you!" said Chase excitedly. "Now, Chase," Marshall began, "you and the others can go see Skye now at this time of you want-" Chase had bolted in a blur into the medical room before Marshall could even finish his sentence.

"Skye!" Chase said as he howled happily and jumped on the bed next to Skye.

"C-Chase!" Skye said hoarsely, clearing her throat before her voice returned back to normal.

"How are you feeling? Are you alright? Are you paralyzed? Are you going to live? Are you-"

"Chase, Chase, calm down!" Skye giggled. "I'll be fine! Marshall said I just need to take it easy for the next week so the stitches don't fall out. And so I won't..... y'know, bleed to death." she giggled at the end of her sentence. Chase giggled at this too, realizing he may have been perhaps a little too worried. "Yeah," he said, "I guess I did get a little carried away." he finished, chuckling at the end of that sentence briefly.

"So, whatcha watching? Apollo the Super Pup?" he asked, noticing the TV on the wall. "Yep," Skye replied, as the others began to walk in and crowd in around her to see how she was doing. "I'm fine, you guys! I just gotta take it easy for the next week-"

Skye was cut off by the TV, which automatically as it switched to the local news channel with a man sitting at the news station desk. "We interrupt this program to bring you breaking news! Jim?" Katie and Marshall had walked in now as the screen then turned to the broadcast meteorologist as he finished staking up some papers.

"Thanks, Bob!" he said showing pictures and information along with what he began to say. "Now, an Area of Interest, also previously known as Invest 91, has now intensified into Tropical Storm Agathe just about 150 of the coast of Adventure Bay! And all in just the last 10 minutes! And with the little to no wind-shear, along with an 86° Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and the flow of the prevailing winds, this thing is forecast to become a Category 1 Hurricane with winds of 74-95 mile-per-hour winds by tomorrow, with it becoming a major Category 5 hurricane with winds over 156 miles-per-hour the day of impact! Which is this Friday! It's Monday now and it'll be Tuesday tomorrow. And 9 out of our 10 models bring the eye of this soon-to-be beast directly into Adventure Bay and Foggy Bottom, and the current predicted threats are 145 mile-per-hour winds with higher gusts, a 20-28 foot storm surge in conjunction to the high tide, 30-40 inches of rain, mudslides, and a potential tornado outbreak with short-lived, moderate EF0s through EF2! My recommendations to anyone living in Adventure Bay and Foggy Bottom is to prepare NOW! And get ready folks, cause this is gonna be one LONG week!" Alright, Bob, back to you in the studio!" Jim finished. "Alright, thanks, Jim, and with that, we now return to our Apollo the Super marathon!" Bob said as the TV then switched back to the end of an Apollo episode where Apollo had saved a person from falling off a cliff.

The pups usually would have cheered for this, but everyone just stood there, their faces all in a state of total shock. It was about a minute before someone finally spoke up, and Rubble broke the silence by saying, "What are we gonna do?!?!?!" The other pups, along with Katie, then began to murmur amongst themselves, while Chase was still laying down on his belly in the bed next to Skye, but his head was down, as he was silently crying to himself.

"Chase?" Skye asked upon noticing this. He didn't move. "Chase, what's wrong?" she asked again, this time nudging him a little. "Don't worry, it's gonna be alright-

"You!" Chase suddenly blurted as he stood up, saying so in an angry voice but yet grief-stricken face, dropping his head once more. "Me?" Skye asked, knowing that it was something much more than just "her". She stood up and looked at him as he laid there with his head buried in his front legs, crying silently to himself. But Skye had a rather calm, understanding expression on her face, and she then sat down and pulled up his wet chin gently with her paw, only to see the tear-soaked fur on his face. "Chase," she said in a soothing yet serious voice, "What's really bothering you?" she asked. "It's j-just.... I mean.... y-you are already hurt.... and now....... this s-stupid storm just pops up out of no-w-where....... a-and I try to p-protect you so badly bec-cause I d-don't want to l-lose you-

Chase was cut off by a kiss from Skye on the muzzle. He was suprised at first, and Skye's kiss stopped abruptly as she realized he wasn't kissing back. "I'm sorry, Chase, but it was the only way to shut you up. I understand if you don't like me like-

Now Skye was cut off from a kiss from Chase on her muzzle, and this time she was surprised for a moment before she finally kissed back, and they stayed like that for about 10 seconds before finally breaking apart.

Wwwooooowww..... Chase said shortly after they broke apart, talking in a dreamy voice with a goofy, love-stricken expression on his face. Skye giggled at this before continuing on to say "Chase. You are the one of the most important people to me. I understand that you feel that way about me, and I'm glad you try to protect me. But, I don't ever want to see you become overwhelmed like this..... because of me. Because you never cry, and if I think it's because of me then I'll get upset for making you feel that way! But I do want you to know one thing. And that is that I love you, Chase. And nothing will ever come betweeny love for you, not even death. Cause I know you'll be there for me even when I am gone. And I'll always be there for you, even when you are gone. And I just you to know, that, no matter what happens, and no matter what problems come it way, we'll find a way through it. Together." Skye finished, placing her paw on top of his.

Katie and the other pups had all been watching and listening to Chase and Skye the whole time, being totally silent..... until now.

"Awwwww...." they said, much to Chase and Skye's embarrassment, as they both blushed as red as Marshall's fire truck.

Chase then asked, "S-So, does this mean-

"We're dating?" Skye finished. "Yea." She said.

"Yea, I'd like that. If it's ok with you," she said to Chase who was still blushing extremely hard.

"U-Ummm.... Yea, I'd like that, too." Chase said, a weak smile forming on his face as he continued to blush a dark red color along with Skye.

Katie and the other pups cheered as they finished. "Awsome job, Chase!" said Zuma. "Yea, congrats, you two love birds!" Rocky said with a smirk on his face. "Yea!" Rubble, agreeing with Zuma. "Yeah, what Rocky said!" said Marshall, a smirk on his face as well.

I myself smiled out of happiness for them, while the figure isseued a grunt of disapproval from the newest couple in Adventure Bay.

"Mark my words, I will get my revenge," it said, talking in a low, angry voice, "And I will be sure to get that Cockapoo out of the picture. Then, Chase....... will be all mine." it finished as it briefly chuckled before continuing to watch the two on the monitor.

Third Person POV:

The moon shone brightly over Adventure Bay that night as it neared midnight, and the as Katie and Marshall, along with Rubble, Rocky, and Zuma, settled down for bed in Katie's salon for the night, while Chase and Skye stayed in the now medical room together, with Chase planning to sleep in the same bed as Skye. He then got up to go turn off the light and the TV, and when he got back to the bed, Skye was already fast asleep.

"Wow. I guess being tortured and rescued and stitched up really does tire out a pup! Heh, heh."

"Goodnight, Skye. Sleep tight. I love you too." Chase said softly as he kissed her on the cheeck before laying down himself and closing his eyes as he prepared to go to sleep. He then curled himself up next to her and dozed off a moment later, and although Chase had dozed off, Skye had managed to smile as she slept when Chase kissed her on the cheek.

And for the rest of that night, they both felt as if everything in the world was right, and that everything was OK in Adventure Bay.

Note: Well, that's the end of another great chapter! First, let me say thank you for all the 300+ views you guys got me! Y'all truly are the best, and I appreciate EVERY veiw I get! And let me just say that I'm sorry I didn't post it this weekend. An unexpected family gathering came up and I (of course) had to attend. However, I will not be posting late anymore (as it has thrown me off schedule), and because of being off schedule, I will not post until next weekend. I might, however, post the fifth chapter next on next Wednesday or 9/13/17 if I can get to 350 views or more by the end of this Saturday or 9/9/17 I will, however, continue to write my other two novels and I will even post the first chapter of UnWildLy on tomorrow or 9/6/2017! But there are going to be some publishing date changes due to the possibility of irregular release dates (I'm very OCD about things like that), and starting next week, UnWildLy will be updated every Tuesday, and Eyewall Of The Storm will be updated every Thursady! And if you live in FL or any other place that might possibly be affected by Irma, be sure to follow proper precautions and evacuate if directed! Please take this storm just as serious as Harvey, as it is currently a Category 5 with winds of 175-180 mph with 210-220 mph gusts! So to all my FL readers, as well as Puerto Rico and Leeward Islands readers, please, take the proper safety precautions, make sure you are prepared, have a plan, and stay weather-aware! And, Until next time ~ Chris B.
