Switcharoo

Chapter 1

Hey guys I usually only post on fanfiction but I'm here because...well I lost a bet to @Taurusology_. So yeah I went over my story and uploaded it on wattpad so um enjoy.

As the dawn started to break over adventure bay the town was quiet. No businesses were open, no cars were on the street, no seagulls were in the air, everyone was quietly asleep in their beds. Everyone with the exception of a certain German Shepherd who stirred awake and got ready for the day.

*BEEP* *BEEP*

As Chase heard the sound of his alarm clock break his sleep he smiled and said "Today is one of those days".

Chase jumped out of his bed and stretched his body feeling slightly sore and eager to get rid of the feeling. He barked into his pup tag "Arf shuffle my morning playlist.".

"Ok now shuffling your morning playlist" a robotic voice responded.

"I didn't think it was a good idea but I gotta agree with Zuma having Rocky install music features to our pup tag was an awesome idea." Chase thought as Walk This Way by Aerosmith started playing.

The song made him think of his father and how he told Chase that this was the type of stuff they would always play while he was at the police academy. He laughed as he thought about the time his parents came to visit and his dad and Zuma got into an argument over what was real music. Once he thought of his father he thought about his warming smile and how he always told Chase to be the best he could be. He missed his dad from time to time but the thought of his encouraging words only made Chase more motivated.

He ran to the Lookout bathroom feeling pumped up from his music and from the mood he was in he couldn't exactly explain it but he just felt good about the rest of the day. He brushed his teeth, combed his fur, then looked at himself in the mirror "Lookin good" he said while giving his best tough police dog look.

"I better get going." Chase thought as he began his early morning workout.

It definitely hadn't been an easy workout Chase's muscles were sore but he was proud of that. Chase tried to push himself harder and harder every single time so he was glad that it was finally time for the 1k. The 1k run was always Chase's favorite part of the work out. It was not only the final part of his daily exercises. But it was the most enjoyable. Chase looked at it as a way to calm down after his workouts and to really enjoy the town he lived in and protected. It was right around the time that adventure bay woke up and Chase found it relaxing to watch the town he and his friends treated like their own thrive. As he saw the lights turn on in the houses and shops he felt joy at the thought that that person was safer thanks to the Paw Patrol. Even the spots that didn't look protected like the pizza place that had burned down. At first glance it may look as though something went terribly wrong but while yes the fire was a tragedy. It was one that Marshall handled perfectly and saved multiple lives in the process. It was a scar on the town but one that the Paw Patrol had bandaged up and showing everyone it would all be ok.

He ran past Mr. Porter's which he always loved doing. He loved the smile of the sweet old man who gave them food and good times. "Hello Mr. Porter." Chase said with a smile

"Oh well hello Chase finishing up your workout I see" Mr. Porter said as he flipped his sign to open.

"Yep I love the 1k its a great way to say hi to the town and everyone in it while unwinding." Chase said.

"Yeah our Adventure Bay is really something" Mr. Porter said, looking off at the sun rise with a smile. "One of these times I should go with you, maybe I'd finally lose some pounds." Mr. Porter as he chuckled and patted his stomach.

This made Chase laugh "Mr. Porter you look great." he replied.

"Well thank you Chase but shouldn't you get going isn't it almost time for you to wake up the other pups." Mr. Porter said, pointing to his clock on the wall.

"Oh crap you're right!" Chase said starting to run again "See you later Mr. Porter."

"Good bye Chase, oh why don't you bring some of the other pups later" Mr. Porter yelled "Half price!"

"Ok I will, you better not forget about that discount" Chase said with a smile.

" Mr. Porter is such a nice guy, but I've gotta pick up the pace" Chase thought as he sped up.

He passed the mayor's office and saw the mayor feeding her chicken, he past the docks and saw Captain Turbot whistling and cleaning the flounder, and was passing by Katies when something caught his ear.

"Hey Chase." a sultry voice had said.

Chase turned to see a group of three female dogs about to walk into Katies all looking at him with flirty expressions. One a well groomed poodle and the other two pomeranians.

"Wow they're really pretty maybe I could hear them out," Chase thought even though he knew he was lying to himself. Chase had loved Skye since the moment Ryder walked through the doors with a new recruit and he saw her. Skye hasn't shown any interest in Chase which made him sad but he knew Marshall was right when he said that it was because Chase was too scared to even try. He had become desperate to have her by his side. Chase wasn't very religious but he still prayed every night that she would return his feelings. This wasn't the first time Chase had considered giving one of the girls that hit on him a shot.

"But like dad always says anything you really want is worth working for" Chase thought about his father's words and knew that being with Skye was something he really wanted.

The poodle spoke up with a flirty expression on her face "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"I-I was just finishing up my workout," Chase said, a bit flustered.

Stuff like this always happened to Chase but it still managed to get to him every time. Chase was a polite dog and wanted everyone to like him. In these types of situations he wished he could just brush them off like Rocky or have the confidence to say something or give them a chance like Zuma, but that just wasn't him.

"See I told you he works out." One of the Pomeranians friskily said and judging by the voice Chase guessed it was the first one who called him over.

"With that body how could he not." The other Pomeranian said looking at him from top to bottom as if studying him.

This made Chase even more embarrassed but it didn't end there the first Pomeranian spoke up again "C'mon Chase flex for us lets see those muscles".

This made Chase extremely uncomfortable. He hated being in these types of situations because he wasn't very good in them. Potential life or death situations with dangerous criminals? Chase was your pup. Dealing with pretty girls that hit on him? Eh not so much but he tried kept his cool like and make an excuse like he usually did when girls hit on him. Only difference was this time he actually did have somewhere to be "Well it was nice talking to you ladies maybe I'll run into you some other time".

"Aw leaving so soon?" The Poodle asked with a disappointed look.

"Sorry but duty calls" Chase said pointing to the lookout.

"Oh all right then, but if you change your mind we'll be here ok" The fist Pomeranian said with a wink.

As Chase jogged away he heard them all say "Bye Chase" in longing voices.

As Chase ran a little annoyed that he was going to be late to wake up the others but more annoyed at the situation he just ran from. "Why does this always happen, what's wrong with me, why can't I just give up on Skye? Why's it that she's the only one I can picture beside me and every time I think I've got no chance she gives me hope again. Arrgh! Why are girls so confusing?" Chase's thoughts were going in all different directions; it was like a hail storm up there. When suddenly a single odd thought came across his mind that cleared it up completely "I wonder what it's like to be a girl?".
