Paw Patrol: Rescue Force

S3 E3: Pups Save A Robosaurus! Farewell For Now, Rex!

April 27th, 2030

After the encounter with the aliens six days prior, Rex had become rather uneasy. The Bernese mountain dog was beginning to question his role on the Paw Patrol. He knew that aliens existed, but having to swerve around and dodge those strange blasts that were coming from the broken ray shooter on their ship had scared him. Rex knew that it was silly to be afraid of those rays, as they were merely anti-gravity beams, but it had kicked his adrenaline into overdrive and his instincts into fight or flight mode. Out of all the pups, the paraplegic had gone through the most painful brushes with death. Sure, Skye had nearly been eaten by an eagle, and the group had nearly suffocated in space during the first Mighty Pup incident, but Rex knew that they hadn't been as bad as his own experiences.

The other Paw Patrol members hadn't been in a car collision. They hadn't felt their legs stop being able to move and wonder if this was the end as their eyes fluttered shut. They hadn't been mauled and bitten by a group of aggressive bully dogs. And... well, Ella had nearly gotten eaten by a Tyrannosaurus alongside him. That was the one and only near death experience Rex had in common with a member of the rescue force. All of these times that he had nearly lost his life made him realize that he had developed a fear of death. And Rex knew first paw that if he was going to continue to serve on the rescue force, he would have to put his life on the line to help others. It scared him. Even with Ella by his side, he wasn't sure that he could handle it.

Of course, he had confided in his Golden Retriever girlfriend his fears and secrets. Ella was really worried for him, and so she took this up with Ryder and Ben. The two owners debated on what to do, and in that time frame the Paw Patrol received a transmission from Tyler and Koda. "Hey, everyone! Things have been getting a bit difficult around here. We were wondering if Rex could come by and lend a helping paw out. That pup sure knows dinosaurs, and I know it'd be a dream come true for him to meet live ones that aren't actively trying to hurt him. If you wanna take us up on our offer and come on over to Amber Beach, call us back! Bye!" Tyler had announced in his message before the video clip ended.

That video message tore at Rex's heart. Should he stay with the Paw Patrol, or go and see the prehistoric creatures and help out on the Dino Charge Earth? Ben and Ryder knew that Rex had a lot on his mind, so they had decided on a course of action. "Pups, we're going to be going on a road trip for a day or two! We'll be camping out in the desert and sleeping under the night sky." Ryder revealed.

"ROAD TRIP!" Tuck and Ella yelled out in delight.

"COOL! Will we be eating new things?! I love trying new foods!" Rubble squealed happily.

Chase and Skye were giggling and wagging their tails at the thought of a night of camping out beneath the stars. Rex breathed a sigh of relief. A day without rescues sounded like just what he needed. That afternoon, the pups all got in the Paw Patroller and drove out into the desert, following the highway. "Wait, where are we going to get food to eat if we're in the middle of the desert? We've got stuff for breakfast tomorrow morning, but not anything for dinner." Rocky pointed out as they left Adventure Bay.

Ryder looked at Ben, who was in charge of packing the food for the trip. "You did make plans for dinner, right?" Ryder asked his friend.

"Don't sweat it, everyone! I've got a campsite picked out and it's right by this diner that's owned by a nice couple. In fact, we're almost there!" Ben reassured his family.

"Pfft! I can't believe you doubted Dad." Marshall snickered, always having faith in Ben.

Ben's heart melted once again, and broke into a grin. "I hope so. Because right now, I'm so hungry I could eat a... DINOSAUR!!! WHOA!" Rubble shouted as he saw a mechanical dino standing next to a small building and a trailer home.
