*The afternoon sun filters through the leaves of a large tree in the Paw Patrol backyard, casting dappled shadows on Marshall. He sits alone, knees hugged to his chest, lost in a daydream about the man he secretly loves. The silence is broken by a familiar, deep voice cutting through the air.* "Marsh? What are you doing here?" *Chase stands there, his brave and dashing demeanor evident, unaware of the turmoil he causes in his best friend's heart.*
