Inside Chase's Doghouse

~Chase's Thoughts~
I don't ever want to look at Marshall again because I no longer see someone I can trust like I used to. How could he fake something like that? Why would he fake it?! He's not my hero, he never was... Which makes me think that everything we went through together all these years was fake. I... I regret calling him my best friend.

The German Shepherd weakly punches his bedroom's wall.

He doesn't even know how much he has hurt me. He probably doesn't even care... But that's fine because I'll stop caring about him too. And I know what has to be done with people you can't trust anymore.

Outside Chase's Doghouse

~Marshall's Thoughts~
And now, everyone hates me... But not as much as I hate myself. I know I messed up, I know. And I want to fix it but Chase is obviously in no mood to forgive me right now. I- I don't know if he is even capable of forgiving me for what I've done.

Standing a few feet away from Chase's door, Marshall stares at the ground.

He wasn't supposed to find out this way and I know it's just a matter of time before he asks why I did it. How can I tell him that I only did it because... Well, because...

Marshall looks up at Chase's Doghouse and he physically winces.

Because back then, I was jealous of him... I still am. I mean, come on! Chase has everything! He can get anything or anyone he wants. The day Ryder made him second-in-command was the worst of my life. While the mayor and everyone else were celebrating Chase's big new role in the PAW Patrol, I was completely forgotten about. It was a day all about him, it always seems to be all about him. But now that I look back on it, I shouldn't have let my jealousy get the best of me. I can see what the big deal was now. I have to make this right.

~End of Marshall's Thoughts~

The Dalmatian works up the courage and finally heads over to knock on Chase's door. Marshall is surprised to see the door open.

Marshall: "Listen, Chase, I-"

Chase slams his door shut. Marshall takes in a huge breath of air before shouting.

Marshall: "I know, I deserve that but can I just talk to you?" He pleads.

Chase: "Can't you see that I want to be alone right now!?"

Marshall: "But I need to-"

Chase: "Just go. You've done enough."

Marshall frowns and starts to head back to his room when he gets stopped.

Skye: "Why were you just at Chase's dog house?"

Marshall: "Nothing! That's why!"

Skye: "That's not an answer."

Marshall: "Well, I'm not going to give you one so just mind your own business." He remarks.

Skye: "You're lucky to have Chase as a best friend. But I wouldn't say that he is lucky to have you as one..."

The Dalmatian looks away, feeling a mix of hurt and guilt.

Marshall: "I... Listen, I feel horrible because, well, it's just..." He hesitates. "I'm just hungry."

Skye: "Uh? What? I'm sure if you ask Ryder he'll give you something to eat."

Marshall: "Right." He dismisses.

Skye: "Is Chase coming too?"

Brief pause.

Marshall: "I don't know."

Skye: "Why didn't you ask him?"

Marshall: "Why don't you ask him?" He retorts before walking off and into the Lookout.

At Chase's Doghouse

The Cockapoo knocks on his door three times.

Skye: "Hey, Chase, it's me!"

Not a second later, Chase's door slides open.

Chase: "Oh, good. Hey, Skye."

Skye: "Um, what are you doing? Is everything okay?"

Chase: "Just clearing my head, well, trying at least."

Skye: "Oh, sorry but I was wondering if you wanted to eat together or something."

Chase: "Nah, I'm good."

Skye: "Is something bothering you?"

Chase: "Certainly nothing that I can't undertake independently so I can corroborate that everything is fine."

Skye: "Seriously? Corroborate?"

Chase: "Shoot, I gave it away didn't I?"

Skye: "Yeah, so please don't lie to me. What's bothering you? Is it something I did?" She worries.

Chase: "No, it's not you, Skye. It's someone else..."

Skye: "Everest?"

Chase: "She is a pain but it's not her either."

Skye: "Marshall?"

Chase: "Well..."

Skye: "I knew it. What did he do?"

Chase: "I'll tell you but I'm not sure if I should tell the others."

Skye: "Is it that bad?"

The German Shepherd takes in a deep breath then focuses on some clouds drifting up high.

Chase: "Marshall... He- Well, turns out, he... He didn't save my life after all... Can you believe that? He, after all these years, lied to me!"

Skye's eyes grow huge, alarmed.

Chase: "I didn't have to repay him at all! I don't owe him anything! Why would he... How could he...?"

The police dog looks at Skye with a raised eyebrow.

Chase: "You're awfully quiet."

Skye: "W-What? I'm just... Shocked." She clarifies.

Chase: "Oh, yeah, I was too. And then I started thinking... If he didn't save my life then I have to find out-"

Skye: "Come on, Chase! We'll talk about this later, let's go eat!"

Chase: "I don't know, I really think I should-"

He gets cut off by a kiss on the cheek from Skye. His face immediately heating up.

Skye: "Pleaseeee." She says with her puppy eyes.

Chase: "Fine. I'll go."

Skye: "Yay!"

Inside the Lookout

Rocky: "Hey, Chase."

Zuma: "Sup, Dude."

Rubble: "There may not be enough food if you're really hungry. Like I was." He mumbles with food in his mouth.

Marshall: "Chase-"

Chase: "Hi, you guys."

Marshall: "Look, Chase we should-"

Skye: "How about we eat over there, Chase. It's quieter." She glares at Marshall.

Marshall: "Seriously?! I just want-"

Rocky: "Can I sit there too?"

Marshall: "Can you shut-"

Skye: "What do you say, Chase?"

Chase: "Sure."

Marshall: "Let me finish my-"

Zuma: "How about me dudes?"

Marshall: "Fine! I'm leaving!" He declares before storming off.

Rubble: "What's his problem?"

Chase: "I don't know and I don't care about his problems."

Rocky: "Whoa, what? But isn't Marshall like your best friend?"

Chase: "Not anymore."

Zuma: "Dude, what did he do?"

Chase: "Um..."

Skye: "Guys give him some privacy once in a while."

Zuma: "Okay."

Rocky: "Whatever, I'm going to take a nap."

Rubble: "I'm going to get a snack."

Zuma: "I'll go with you, Wubble. So these two love biwds can be alone." He teases.

Playfully Chase rolls his eyes as Rubble and Zuma leave. He turns to Skye who continues to giggle but he lets out an exasperated sigh.

Chase: "Skye, I don't know if I'll be able to ignore Marshall any longer than it's needed."

Skye: "Oh then-"

Just then they both hear a yelp and something hit the ground outside.

Skye: "W-What was that?" She shrieks.

Chase: "Let's check it out but stay close to me."

Outside the Lookout

Chase starts sniffing around. It was already getting dark so the only light source comes from the Lookout. Then Chase hears paw steps.

Chase: "Skye, go into the lookout." He whispers.

Skye: "What?"

Chase: "I think I hear-"

After a loud thud, Chase falls to the ground.

Skye: "Chase!"

The Cockapoo leans over Chase but little did she know a shadow appears behind her holding a bat.

Marshall: "I will have Chase again. And no one will get in my way. Not even you, Skye."

Immediately Skye turns around and her eyes widen in fear.

Marshall: "Ignore this!"

And he swings.
