S3 E2: Pups Save Their Floating Friends! Blossoming Feelings!

April 21st, 2030

"Heh, it's good to see you, Ryder." Katie shyly greeted as she saw the spiky haired brunette at the park with Chase climbing up a tree to grab a balloon for Alexander Porter.

"Oh! Hi Katie. How've you been?" Ryder asked, smiling as he saw his childhood friend.

"I've been great! Business at the clinic has been quiet ever since those friends of yours left." Katie chuckled, referring to Tommy, Koda, and Tyler.

The out of towners had left shortly after the whole dinosaur fiasco, and life in Adventure Bay had calmed down since then. Ryder had been wanting to do this for a while, and he had finally worked up the courage to do so. The constant egging from Ben and Ace had only further cemented his resolve to do this. He had made a promise to himself that the next time he saw Katie, he would ask her out. Taking a deep breath, he summoned all of his confidence, and started to pop the question. "Katie, I was wondering if maybe you would like to have a meal somewhere for dinner with me?" Ryder inquired.

"You mean like... a date?" Katie wondered.

Ryder blushed and rubbed the back of his head as he nodded. Suddenly, they heard a futuristic sound, and Mayor Goodway let out a surprised gasp. "Chickaletta, neither of us are very good at flyiiiiiing!" Genevieve shouted in worry as she started to float in the air.

Chase let go of the balloon as he sprung into action without a second thought. "NET!" Chase barked out, and shot his net at Mayor Goodway. However, she was ascending at such a rate that the net missed her. While the net was retracting back into his pup pack's launcher to try again, a circular blast hit him and Mr. Porter, causing him to start floating in the air uncontrollably. "Whoaaaa! I'll get you all down, but..." Chase yelped as he flailed his paws into the air and tried to do a breaststroke motion, barely managing to get back to the tree and latching on with the suction cups in his spy gear.

"I'll get you down, Mayor Goodway!" Marshall announced as he ran to his fire truck.

"Marshall, take cover!" Ryder ordered as those strange circular blasts began to rain down from the sky. He saw one that was headed right for Katie and instinctively reacted. "KATIE!" Ryder yelled as he leapt into the path of the shot and started to float into the air.

"RYDER!" Katie cried out in horror as she saw her friend lift off the ground.

She quickly grabbed ahold of his leg to keep him from getting stuck in the sky. "Thanks for the save, Katie!" Ryder gratefully said.

"Anytime! It's what friends are for." Katie happily replied, the question about the date out of her mind (to Ryder's disappointment).

Chase used his net to create a barrier that Ryder could lie against and not go any higher. "Too bad that my ladder doesn't reach high enough! Hey, Ryder, why not use your red hawk wing suit to get around like this?" Marshall lamented, before making a suggestion to Ryder.

The seventeen year old shook his head no sadly. "I would, but Ben's still working on the changers! We only finished the Air Patroller a few days ago, it'll take time for the costume changers to be completed. I have a plan on how we can get me down. Chase, use your zipline to attach me to Marshall's fire truck!" Ryder revealed, before coming up with a course of action. Chase activated his zipline once he climbed down to the ground, shooting it to Marshall's fire truck and sticking the other end to Ryder's chest. Katie hopped in the back of the fire engine as Chase and Ryder flew behind them while they drove to the Lookout. "Heh, I never knew that being a balloon was so much fun!" Ryder laughed as he floated above the streets.

Katie called ahead using a pup pad that Ryder had given her in case of emergencies. "Rocky, we need you to grab some rope from your recycling stash real quick!" Katie radioed the mixed breed.
