After the pups decorated the lookout with love, happiness and joy, the lookout seems much more beautiful and wonderful as ever. In the early morning, there are 3 pups that have awake already. Oops~ Pardon, 4 pups that got up already. "Fresh morning air~ Tomorrow is Christmas!" said Marhall happily, smelling the morning air.

"Morning, Marshall."greets Everest, smiling her usual cheerful smile to him. Marshall blushed at her presence then said "M-morning too, Everest!" , trying to sound like his usual cheerful-self while actually he's nervous but comfortable at the same time with her. Everest giggles then sits next to him which made him blush harder. "I saw that Zuma and Tracker are talking to each other about Christmas while I joined in the conversations for a while until I asked whose the pups that usually got up." said Everest, explaining to Marshall.

"And that's you. I'm suprised that Chase isn't the one who got up, or maybe Skye." she continues. "Well, Chase is usually get up earlier in non-holiday days." replied Marshall, enjoying the conversation and her warm company. "Wow, you really know anything about Chase." comments Everest with a small giggle. "Of course! He's my best friend, or maybe even more like my brother, even though that we're not having the same blood or similar DNA." explains Marshall to Everest.

Everest smiled then touched Marshall's paw which made him blushed and looked at Everest. "That's amazing, thanks for telling me~!"said Everest with sparkling eyes then let go of the paw. "No problem at all, Eve'!"replied Marshall excitedly. "Hey! Want to come with me, Zuma, and Tracker that is actually discussing about 'a thing' in Christmas?" offers Everest.

"Sure do! That seems interesting and made me wonder. Instead, I have nothing else to do than smelling this amazing morning air~" replied Marshall, accepting her offer happily. "Yey~! Let's go!" said Everest, happy too that Marshall wants to come. "Tag! You're it!" said Marshall, tagging Everest on her shoulder then run, starting the game. "Hey! That's not fair~" shouts Everest but then laughed and ran after him.

"It's fair enough~!" shouts Marshall back to her with a laugh too. "Alright, Marsh'. It's on~!" said Everest, determined to catch him. Both then played the tag game together happily until .... "Tag!" "Tag!"

"HAHAHA! EVEREST!!! THAT'S TICKLINGGGG!" shouts Marshall, ticklish at Everest's touch. Everest giggles then stopped as he asked. Marshall sighed then said "That's....better~" between his gasps. "Sorry, I have to do that."said Everest, apologizing.

"That's...okay~"said Marshall, still trying to breathe properly. "I'm sure fineeee~"continues Marshall which made Everest giggled. "Let me repay you. But that's until we go to Tracker and Zuma. Actually ... after that."said Everest, giving him a wink then run towards Tracker and Zuma's place. "Hey! Wait for me!" said Marshall, running to be on Everest's side then both walking happily next to each other.

"Hey, amigos~" greeted Tracker, smiling at both love pups. "Having gweat time?" asks Zuma with a teasing tone, smiriking along with Tracker. But inside, they love to see both love pups smiling, staring and spending time happily with each other. Just like how they see Chase and Skye.

Marshall and Everest blushed at 'Zuma's statement' but Everest replied "Good, How about you guys? Still discussing about...the mistletoe?" Marshall's eyes widened at this then said "Mis-Mistle what?" "Mistletoe, Marshall. A thing on Christmas that every couple usually 'aware' of~" replied Tracker, half jokingly about the couple things. "It's magical, actually" adds Zuma.

"Well, actually whose the one that made the mistletoe rule?" said Everest, giggling. "Wait, wait...! You guys mean this mistletoe that is said ... to be the thing that should hang in the hidden Christmas tree...?" said Marshall. "Uh-huh" replied Tracker, nodding. "Yep! That's what we discussed until now~" adds Everest.

"Oh...well...?" said Marshall, shocked to know that they're discussing about the Mistletoe thing. Well, by him, Mistletoe is something that is use to hang in a christmas tree for some couple to discovered it and kiss under the tree. "Oh, hey guyssss~! It's time to have our yummy breakfast~" shouts Rubble from his pup house with Ryder, Jake and Carlos behind. "And now that's end our conversation~!" jokes Tracker which is followed by Zuma saying "Yepsie! 'Cause ouw stomach needs to be filled~" 

The 4 pups barked and run to Rubble's direction, leaving Marshall thinking 'Oh well~ At least something better.' "Come on~"said Everest, nuzzled him gently which made him blushed. They run and bark happily while running toward the others. "Marshall, Can you please wake the others up?" asked Ryder.

"Of course! I'm ready for a *ruff ruff* wake up!" chanted Marshall jokingly, making the others laugh. 'He's sure funny... he's really my loving pup... wait.. what?! My...loving pup?' thought Everest then blushed herself. Tracker noticed this and ask her what happened, but she said that it's nothing while giggling and be her usual cheerful-self to them. 'Everest really liked Marshall, huh? The way they acts already show that they liked each other. Si! That's it! We should hang the mistletoe between them too! After that, maybe they will confess to each other!' thinks Tracker happily.

This turn, Zuma is the one who asked Tracker what happened. Tracker smiled and whispered what he thought to him. After Tracker said his plan, Zuma grins happily and high-paw Tracker, meaning he agreed at his plan. Tracker high paw Zuma back, little did they know that Everest was looking at them, confused at those but tried to shrugg it off.

"Morning, guys!" greet Chase, Skye and Rocky together, with Marshall by their side. "Morning folks!" greet Carlos back to them along with Jake waving. Ryder gives all the pups their food and said "Breakfast time, pups!" "YEAH!"replied the pups happily, with Rubble being the clearest sound to hear.

After their breakfast, Ryder told them to patrol Advanture Bay like usual but 2 of the pups helped take care of the decorated things in lookout. All of them looked at each other, liked asking who should take care of the lookout things. Zuma and Tracker smiled at each other then raised their paws, meaning they want to take care of it. Everest, being the one and only that seeing them liked that, questioned herself, but whatever it is, she hoped that Rubble and Rocky won't be jealous.

The patrol team become Rubble and Rocky, Skye and Chase, plus Marshall and Everest, leaving Zuma and Tracker behind. In the road, Everest is still thinking about Zuma and Tracker's acts and questioned herself of what did they think. Marshall noticed that Everest didn't focus on the road and deep in mind, so he decide to call her. "Everest...?" asked Marshall slowly, but there's no response.

Marshall raised his eyebrow and touch her shoulder, making Everest shocked and looked at him. "Y-yeah? You called me?" said Everest. "Yep, are you okay? You didn't seem to focus on the road or said anything either. Something struggled in your mind?" asked Marshall worriedly. Everest giggles a bit and say,"Everything's fine, Marsh. I'm just a little bit out of mind. Thanks for worrying, though."

"Hey~ What's a friend for? If anything worried you, it worried me too." said Marshall as they walked together in the street. 'And you looked cute when you're worried...' thinks Everest then giggled herself. "Well, actually I've been thinking about Zuma and Tracker..." admits Everest. "What's about them?" asked Marshall.

"It's their strange acts. Did you see?" said Everest. "I didn't see anything except when they're looking at each other and smiled then raised their paws to take care of the lookout." replied Marshall. "Yeah, that's one of it. You know what? When you're waking up the others, I saw them whispering and then grinned plus high-paw each other." exclaims Everest, telling the story. 

"And... at first, I shrugg it off until I saw what had you said earlier and said that's it kind of strange... like; what did they grinning at? What's their plans? For what? Why didn't tell us? And such. But mostly, I saw that Rubble is kind of sad and Rocky is confused. I know that this morning patrol team is actually Chase and Rubble, me and you, plus Skye and Tracker, Zuma and Rocky. But they switch pairs and I know that Rubble wants to tell Rocky something about it.. Sorry..." explained Everest then apologized and sigh, stopping their tracks. Marshall's eyes widened, he didn't know that their snow pup, or the one that he loved by his side now, was caring about the group, so much. This cheerful and like his easy going attitude pup, care so much for them. Marshall sits closely next to her and pet her back gently then said "That's okay, glad that you said everything out, so that won't hurt your chest and heart much. You're worried about Rockzu and Trabble, huh?" 

Everest nods and looked at Marshall then mumble a small "Thank you..." to him. "Hey, you know what? Maybe Zuma and Tracker had planned sth. fun for us in the lookout, especially for Rocky and Rubble. And because they want to give us a suprise, maybe?" said Marshall, thinking positively. "Yeah... I'm just overthinking too much... thanks so much, Marsh. For comforting me and be by my side. Thanks..." said Everest then fist-bump him which gladly he receives and they fist-bump happily (or should I say fist-paw XD ?) "Let's get back patrolling" offers Marshall.

Everest nods happily, suddenly she tags him gently and playfully, saying "You're it~" "Here we go, husky!" jokes Marshall then bark at her, they play and patrol happily together again. 'This is our cheerful and lovely husky' thought Marshall then continue 'No wonder how my love grows more for her when I'm with her.' (Meanwhile after all their patrolling time ...)

[6:00 PM, In the lookout]

"Celebrating Christmas, guys!" said Skye happily then flipped her usual flip. Chase smiled at her and said "Yep, and finally we will add the event of 'Switching Presents' tonight later." "And most of all, We celebrated it with the whole team. It's gonna be fun!"said Rocky excitedly, with Rubble by his side. Zuma and Tracker also had finished their work and plans, heading toward them.

"Miss us, guys?"asked Zuma happily. "Hola, amigos! We're back!"said Tracker happily too. Rubble and Rocky look at each other but Chase and Skye greet them happily back. There come Marshall and Everest, with all the pups greeting, they head toward the center of the room.

"Here we go~"

The lookout seems much more different and beautiful as ever, but Rocky noticed something that he didn't see earlier in there. And strangely, he focused on that thing and asked Rubble about it. "Did you see that, Rub'?" asked Rocky while pointing to the Christmas tree. "What?" asked Rubble back with a curious look and see where he's pointing.

"Y-you don't t-think that they will..."said Rubble, realizing what hang in the Christmas tree that was a bit hiden by the leaves; mistletoe. "I think they plan sth. to ... Chase and Skye?" said Rocky, confused at what Zuma and Tracker had in mind about this. "Maybe...?"replied Rubble, unsure but tried to be calm about it. "We know about it now, so..."
"Just stay away from there?..."

Both looked at each other and nod until 2 certain voice called them....

•○●•○●(....)•○●•○●
"Hey, Chase. Can I talk to Marshy, please? Oh, and take care of Skye for me~" said Everest which made Skye blushed and said "Ev-Everest! I can take care of myself! Instead, you had made a nickname for Marsh' !" Everest laughed and Chase replied "Of course! I-I wanna s-said sth. to Skye too..."  Everest grins at this and looked at Skye. "Sure! You can said anything to her~!"said Everest happily while wagging her tail.

After Everest goes to Marshall, she whispered something to him then they giggled and went away from Chye. Chase blushed and Skye giggled at Evershall's acts. "They're real cute, huh? Oh! And what are you going to say?"said Skye. Chase's heart beat faster than ever after Skye said that and tried to calmed himself down then said "I..."
