Hey guys! Blayke here. I bring to you all a new story. A Christmas story! I had originally planned for this story to be done and posted sooner, but stuff happens, and now I'm late with this story. I apologize for not having posted it earlier, but I hope that you guys will still enjoy it. I also hope that you guys won't get bored of it since it is Christmas themed, and you know, Christmas has come and gone. More chapters will be posted later on, even if it isn't Christmas. But, I mean, Christmas is a lot of people's favorite holiday, right? So, I'm sure you guys won't get bored of it. Anyway, enough of me rambling. Hope you all enjoy the first chapter! Thanks! -Blayke


Christmas was right around the corner for the citizens of Adventure Bay. The sky of Adventure Bay was cloudy and dark, even during the day. Snow had been falling from the sky nonstop, freezing everything in the city, even the ocean. But that didn't stop the Christmas spirit from the hearts of people. Everyone was in a festive mood. They set up their houses with beautiful red and green colors, fluorescent Christmas lights, and trees filled with presents. The citizens made the best of their snowy situation by staying in home, wearing warm clothes and wrapping themselves in cozy blankets next to their fire places. The sound of Christmas music filled the town. When it came to holidays, Adventure Bay sure knew how to celebrate.

The pups, along with Ryder, were all wearing their winter outfits. They were finally enjoying some much needed time off. Lately, there had been a lot of emergencies because of the snow, but no emergencies had come in at all today. They were all pretty exhausted with the responsibilities the week had brought along with them.

Inside of the Lookout was just as bright and festive as the rest of the city. Christmas lights and stockings were hung above the fireplace. One stalking for each pup, all matching their respective colors, as well as one for Ryder. The pups laid near the fireplace, being warm and heated by the fire. The sound of the fire crackling relaxed and eased the pups. Rubble was sleeping in his Apollo the Superpup blanket next to Rocky and Skye, who were playing Pup Pup Boogey. Chase, Marshall, and Zuma were all sitting next to each other, passing the evening talking.

"Last night I had a dream I was in a mansion after being rescued! There was this rich queen who had a female German Shepherd and they owned the place." Chase was wagging his tail fast as he told other his dream.

Marshall tilted his head. "Sounds like we both had weird dreams. Mine was about being in a different universe, and Adventure Bay became Foggy Bottom! Even Major Humdinger ran the city!"

Zuma chuckled. "You dudes are silly, especially you, Marshie. But that's why I love you so much." Marshall blushed and the two kissed each other on the lips.

"Oh brother..." Chase rolled his eyes, but smiled afterwards.

Ryder came up the elevator to the top floor where the pups were. He was shivering and had something in his hand.

"It's really c-chilly outside! Oh, um, Rocky, I have something for you."

Rocky paused the game of Pup Pup Boogie for a moment. He tilted his head before walking over to Ryder. Rocky noticed that his owner was holding a letter. As he got closer, Ryder handed him the letter in his mouth. Rocky began to read it.

All the other pups, except for Rubble, gathered around, curiosity feeding their minds.

"What does it say, Rocky?" Skye stared at him with curiosity in her eyes.

"It's a Christmas letter from my parents. They're letting me know they are proud of me and love me. They are also wishing me a Merry Christmas!" Rocky was wagging his tail and had a big smile on his face.

The other pups cheered. All the pups were ecstatic for Rocky.

Rubble woke up and jumped from all the cheering. "Huh? What did I miss?! Is it snack time?"

The pups chuckled. Ryder then proceeded to explain to Rubble that the cheering was from Rocky getting a Christmas letter from his parents.

Ryder yawned. "Well, pups, it's getting pretty late. I think we should be going to bed. If you pups want, we could all sleep here tonight. It would be warmer if we all slept together instead of separated in your pup houses."

The pups yawned and nodded, agreeing with Ryder. The boy smiled and grabbed multiple blankets and pillows. He handed a pillow and a blanket to all the pups, before making laying down next to everyone. As they said their goodnights to each other, they started to fall asleep.

Marshall was still awake after everyone else had fallen asleep. His mate had fallen asleep next to him, but instead of cuddling him, Marshall looked out at the moon. The blinding snow made it difficult to see anything, but Marshall looked on. Feeling a bit uneasy, he shrugged it off and cuddled his mate before he fell asleep.
