"I... would like to spend time together with you tonight...?!..." said Chase, half shouting because he's too panicked. "Uh, sorry... I di-"said Chase but then Skye put her paw in his lips, making him stop. Skye giggled then rub his back gently, making Chase shocked but tried to calm himself down. But thanks to Skye, he can't. Skye said "Of course we will spend this christmas tonight! Along with the others...~"

Chase sighed, a sigh of relief. "Let's go~!" said Skye, thinking to have some fun with her crush. She tried her best to hide her feelings for him which is succeed because almost all of the pups didn't know, except Everest of course. Chase's smile finally came across his face after a while and bark happily toward Skye then said "Okay~!" 'I must do it!' thought Chase determinedly.

"So..., what is it, Eve'?" asked Marshall, walking next to Everest happily. Everest blushed at his nickname for her and replied "Actually..., I just want to...make Chase and Skye happily spending time together~" Both then stopped at the corner with a big window and Everest opened it. "That's ..... fine with you, right?" asked Everest while stepping her paw at the ground shyly, looking at the beautiful view and felt the wonderful night breeze.

Marshall smiled comfortly at her while sitting next to her and replied "Nope! Not a problem at all~ Indeed, I'd love to see those two love pups spending time together~! Plus, I'm not alone 'cause I have you by my side." Everest's smile grew bigger than ever after hearing this, her tail wags happily then she looked at him in the eyes. "Thanks, Marsh'... That's why I can always count on you and always trust you~..." admits Everest with sparkling eyes. "And I trust you too, Eve'~" replied Marshall cheerfully. 

"Who wouldn't want to have a wonderful time with a cheerful, happy, adventurous, brave, caring and beautiful pup by their side~?" adds Marshall but then blushed himself after realizing his 'beautiful' word. Everest blushed at all the things that Marshall had said and suddenly licked Marshall in the face playfully, a meaning of deep thanks. "Hey!" reacts Marshall with a playful tone. "Thanks so much, Marshie~!" said Everest, almost shouting because of the moment. 

Both were blushing but neither of them care, what they care about now is their wonderful time with each other. "You're very welcome, Evie!" said Marshall then giggled at her energetic attitude. Everest is now jumping happily and then stopped for a secs and looked at him. "Let's go have some fun, Marsh~" offers Everest, tail wagging happily. 

Marshall smiled and giggled at her acts and cheerful attitude that he always love. He nods at her then said "Lead the way, Husky~!" "Off the trail, Everest won't fail~!" said Everest happily then run toward the 'party' which is followed by Marshall happily. 'Here we go~' thought Marshall. 

24th Dec' <11:55>

"5 minutes more, pups!" exclaims Ryder, announcing all of them because some were playing, sleeping, etc. (Don't count Rubble in, he's eating while watching his favourite movie: Apollo) "Finally, amigos! 5 mins more ! Can't waittt~" said Tracker excitedly. "I hope someone will give me a golden bone~!" said Rubble which made some of them rolled their eyes playfully.

"Know what, dude? I'm too excited fow this holiday! Even if it was not as gweat as the summew! I can't wait to see my favouwite pawt!" said Zuma. "What's your favourite part, Zum' ?" asked Rocky, curious. "You will know soonew ow latew, Wocky~!" replied Zuma happily. "Okay...?" said Rocky, tried to still trust his bff. 

"I'm just curious about the event in this ongoing four mins later." said Chase. "The 'Giving Presents' Event you mean?" asked Skye which made him nodded. "I guess it~" said Skye then flipped, giggling a bit which made him blushed. "Best part gonna be the Christmas Dayyy~!" shouts Everest happily.

"You bet!" replied Marshall, agreeing. This got Skase's attention and both looked at each other with a meaningful smile. 'I hope Chye and Marverest found the mistletoe!' thought Rubble dreamingly. Tracker put his paw in front of Rubble then said "Hello? Rubble  there?" 

This made Rocly laughed as both discussed about how cute Trabble is. "Merry Christmas, guys~!" said both Jake and Carlos together happily with their excitement tone. All of them replied Jake and Carlos happily too, especially Ryder, Everest and Tracker. "It's 12!!!" shouts Rubble which made them laugh. 

"Si! Well, we will started those happy event in no time~" replied Tracker, mentioning the event that Skase talked about earlier. "Listen everyone! We're going to take our own present that will be given to others but in held of the game event! Your time is 5 minutes to 'prepare', 5 mins to 'think' of a strategy that will win you to give it to the 'right person'. And also 15 mins more to got back here~ Ready? Hear me every pups? Ready, set, ...... GO! HAVE SOME FUN!" explained Ryder. The pups barked and howled happily as the Christmas songs played. "Started from preparing our presents..." said Rocky, analyzing the situation.

'I just hope I can give it to the right person...' thought Rocky. (...) Zuma runs happily toward his pup house, prelaring the 'special present' for certain someone. 'I hope he liked it 'cause I have a plan~' thought Zuma happily. His smile was never gone on his face since. 

Marshall sighed as he looked at the sky while the others were preparing for their things. 'Can I really give my present for her?....' thought Marshall while holding a small, nice box with a light blue ribbon that wrapped through the dark blue box neatly (matching the colors). "Marsh'?" said a voice from behind him but he really know who is it 'cause he almost heard it everyday. "Yeah?" he replied as cheerful as usual. 

"You alright there?" asked Everest, worried about him which he thought as 'cute'. He giggled and smiled a comforting smile at her, saying "Of course, Eve'~" He then walked toward her and she smiled her usual cheerful smile again then said "Glad to know~!" "Let's play for the event~" said Marshall which made Everest nods in agreement. 

Both pups walked together happily, talking and discussing about the event. This made Skase grinned and looked at each other while thinking the same thing: °They will be dating in no time~!° All the pups had prepared the things and heard Ryder's voice, saying "Stop preparing whatever you've done or not, pups! Now, it's time to think! 5 mins... started from...NOW!" The pups barked and howled in excitement, especially Rubble. 

Actuallh be's not that excited into the events, he just love seeing people happy. Liked a happy couple that holding hands or accidentally kissed under a mistletoe. Of course, he's the youngest team, but that doesn't mean he can't like such romantic things. Since Tracker joined the team, he found how it's right to be himself, no matter what.

Even when it's strange for some reason, especially if he was near Tracker. Tracker is a friend of everyone but decide to be closer to the youngest member of their group. They happened to be BFFs just like Chase-Marshall, Rocky-Zuma and Everest-Skye. Sharing everything and anything without a doubt 'cause they really trust each other. 

"That's it !"said Zuma while taking his present, which hangs in his neck. "I hope I pick the the wight plans~" said Zuma to himself while observing his surroundings. "... Not to go near in that Christmas tree, I'm not ready to kiss him...yet..." said Zuma carefully. Zuma's eyes made a sparkling sound meaning that he have found the right place.

(•○●A little time skips•○●)

"All pups! You have 15 mins to get back to our place!" Claims Jake with Ryder and Carlos by his side. Suprisingly, there's Katie and Cali too! Standing close next to Ryder with Cali being the boring cat while yawning. "This is sure fun~" said Carlos happily, enjoying the event.

Skase got back quickly than they thought, Zuma being the 3rd to be back and grinning when he saw the love pups sat close next to each other. A few secs later, Tracker and Rubble were back too, talking with Zuma then. There Rubble goes, he knew the reason behind their acts and smiled happily, agreed to their 'mistletoe plans'.

"Marshall!"said Everest, running toward him. "Everest! You'll get back to Ryder's and the others' place already?" said Marshall, smiling at her presence since they're separated a few while ago. "Yep! How 'bout you?" replied Everest, wagging her tail excitedly. Marshall nodded and said "Alright! Let's go together 'cause I'm ready too~!" 

Rocky saw them afar and giggled as he thought 'Cute~' He decide to arrive earlier than they did then. (A little time skips again) "Everyone's here?" asked Carlos, announcing. "YEAH!!" shouted the energetic pups. "And now... Time to search for your 'very first-found' present!" said Ryder which is followed by the pups' excitement howled.

"It's about time~!"
