Race For Your Life, Scoop

Summary
*The Can-Do-Crew and the PAW Patrol are having a race for charity, but Scoop begins to get over-competitive, and becomes determined to win at all cost.*

Story
Intro
(Jim is seen playing *Mario Kart Wii*.)
Jim: Oh, hey. Welcome back to Sunflower Valley. I was just playing me some Mario Kart. You know, playing this game reminds me of the time Bob Ryder, the machines, and the pups had a charity race. At first, everything went fine, then, well, maybe I should just tell you.

Race For Your Life, Scoop
One afternoon in Adventure Bay, Bob, Wendy, Moose, and the machines had just finished fixing up a hole that was in the side of Mr. Porter's restaurant.
"That should do it", Bob said, "Mr. Porter will be very happy about his store being fixed."
"So will all his customers", Moose said.
Then, they all heard race car sounds.
"What is that wonderful noise", Scrambler asked.
"Let's take a look", Bob said.
Bob climbed onto Scoop, Wendy climbed onto Lofty, Moose climbed onto Muck, and they all went down to the Adventure Bay Race Track.
"Well would you look at this", Moose said.
"I didn't know Adventure Bay had a race track", Wendy said.
At that moment, six blurs raced past the crew.
"What was that", Muck asked.
It was Marshall, Rubble, Chase, Rocky, Zuma, and Skye racing in their own race car vehicles.
"Is that the PAW Patrol", Lofty asked.
"It certainly is", Bob said.
The six pups raced around the track, and soon crossed the finish line, where Ryder was recording them with a stopwatch.
"Good work, pups", Ryder said, "we'll be in shape for the big race in no time."
"I hope so", Chase said.
"Me too", Marshall said.
Bob, Wendy, Moose, and the machines went over to Ryder and the pups.
"Hey, Ryder", Bob said.
"Oh, hi, Bob", Ryder said, "what brings you here?"
"We were just fixing up a hole in Mr. Porter's restaurant, when we heard the pups racing", Bob said, "nice cars."
"Thanks", Ryder said, "they're from a little adventure we had about a month ago."
"I heard about it", Moose said, "world-famous race car driver The Whoosh got injured, and Marshall took his place and won the championship."
"That's right", Marshall said, "don't mean to brag, but I'm pretty good behind the wheel."
"I was thinking the pups could race in these vehicles for the big race", Ryder said.
"Fine by me", Bob said.
"Race", Moose asked, "what race?"
"I don't believe I've told you this", Bob said, "Ryder and I arranged a race for charity between three of my machines and three of his pups."
"That's right", Ryder said, "the ticket money goes to the winning team's favorite charity."
"Sounds like fun", Moose said.
"That's another purpose for hosting the race", Ryder said, "I've already picked Chase, Marshall and Skye as the three pups I'm going to enter."
"Who are you picking, Bob", Moose asked.
"Hmm, let's see", Bob said, "I think I'll enter Scrambler, Scoop, and Dizzy."
The three mentioned machines cheered in excitement.
"Nice choices, Bob", Ryder said.
"Thanks", Bob said, "well, we should probably be headed home now."
"Okay", Ryder said, "see you on the day of the race."
Bob climbed onto Scoop, Moose climbed onto Muck, and Wendy climbed onto Lofty, and they all returned to Sunflower Valley, but later that day, Scoop began to feel nervous.
"Did you see how fast those race cars were", Scoop asked.
"Yeah", Dizzy said, "they were really fast."
"Ah, it won't be a problem for me", Scrambler said, "I can go super fast!"
"I'm not sure that'll be enough", Scoop said, "we have to be sure that we'll be able to keep up with them."
"Oh, Scoop", Dizzy said, "it doesn't matter who wins."
"Yeah", Scrambler said, "the money's going to charity, so either way, it's for a good cause."
"Maybe", Scoop said, "but I still want to show that I'm faster than those cars."
Scoop went into his part of the shelter to think.
"I don't like where this is going, Dizzy", Scrambler said.
"Me neither, Scrambler", Dizzy said.
The next day, Scoop, Dizzy, and Scrambler went out to Farmer Pickles' farm and drove into a field.
"Here we are", Scoop said, "this is the perfect place to practice."
Then, Spud walked over to them.
"Hello, guys", Spud said.
"Spud, good timing", Scoop said, "do you have a stopwatch?"
"You bet I do", Spud said.
"What's he going to do with it", Dizzy asked.
"Time us, of course", Scoop said, "the race is in this weekend, and I want us to be in perfect shape for it."
"But Scoop", Scrambler said, "we told you, it's for charity."
"Hey, you want to win this, don't you", Scoop asked.
"I guess it would be nice", Dizzy said.
"A little, yes", Scrambler said.
"Then this is what we have to do to win it", Scoop said, "now, let's get in position."
The three machines got into position.
"Okay", Spud said, "ready, set, go!"
Spud waved a flag, and Scoop, Dizzy, and Scrambler raced away.
"Wow, they are fast", Spud said.
The three machines went as fast as they could, and soon stopped.
"How'd we do, Spud", Scoop asked.
Spud looked at his stopwatch.
"15 seconds", Spud said.
"Very good", Scoop said, "now, let's go again."
"Again", Scrambler asked.
"Yes, Scrambler", Scoop said, "we need to be at our best."
The three went around the field again, and Spud recorded their time.
"Well", Scoop asked.
"12.5 seconds", Spud said.
"Great", Scoop said, "now it's time for another round."
Scrambler and Dizzy groaned in frustration.
"This is going to be a long afternoon", Dizzy said.
Scoop, Dizzy, and Scrambler went around the field many times, with Spud timing them, and pretty soon, they were all exhausted.
"I can't take this anymore", Dizzy said.
"Me neither", Scrambler said, "even I know when I've had enough."
"Good work, guys", Scoop said, "now to move on."
Scoop, Dizzy, and Scrambler drove away, and they soon noticed Marshall, Chase, and Skye at the farm.
"What are you three doing here", Scoop asked.
"Ryder asked us to give a water pump he borrowed from Farmer Pickles back to him", Chase said.
"How about you guys", Skye asked, "what are you doing out here?"
"Practicing for the big race", Scoop said.
"You'll need all the practice you can get if you wanna keep up with us", Chase said.
"Yeah", Marshall said, "in case you've forgotten, one of the pups you're up against, me, won the Around the World Road Rally."
"Oh, we'll be able to keep up", Scoop said, "Scrambler, Dizzy, let's go!"
Scoop, Scrambler, and Dizzy drove away.
"Scoop's going crazy with this whole winning attitude", Scrambler said.
"Tell me something I don't already know", Dizzy said.
A little while later, the three machines were in Adventure Bay.
"What are we doing here", Dizzy asked.
"More training", Scoop said, "we're going to race from the Chapman Bridge to the PAW Patrol Lookout and back."
"You can't be serious", Scrambler said.
"Oh, but I am", Scoop said, "now, less talk, more speed!"
Scoop raced away, and Scrambler and Dizzy followed him.
"I can't take this anymore", Scrambler said.
"If it weren't for charity, I'd drop out", Dizzy said.
The three machines raced all the way to the Lookout, and then raced from there to the Chapman Bridge.
"Whew", Scoop said, "what a workout."
"No kidding", Scrambler said.
"Can we please go home now", Dizzy asked.
At that moment, they heard race car noises.
"Hold that thought", Scoop said.
Scoop, Scrambler, and Dizzy went over to the Adventure Bay Race Track, and found Marshall, Chase, and Skye relaxing in their race cars.
"Well, well, well", Chase said, "look who it is."
"Hello, pups", Scoop said.
"Why are you guys in Adventure Bay", Skye asked.
"We're still practicing", Scoop said.
"Hope part of that practice is eating dust", Marshall said, "because you're going to be eating ours."
"We'll see about that", Marshall said, "come on, guys."
Scoop, Scrambler, and Dizzy drove away, leaving the three pups alone.
"Scoop does know I'm only teasing, right", Marshall asked, "I mean, the real winners of this race are whichever charity gets the money."
"Oh, I'm sure it's okay", Chase said, "just a little friendly competition."
"If you say so", Marshall said.
After crossing the Chapman Bridge, Scoop began talking to Dizzy and Scrambler.
"So, I've got a plan for our next workout", Scoop said, "what we're going to do is..."
At last, the two smaller machines had just about as much as they could take.
"That does it", Dizzy said, "we're done with you!"
"What do you mean", Scoop asked.
"We're tired of you making us do all this training", Dizzy said.
"Yeah", Scrambler said, "I love going fast and all, but this is too much."
"But it's so we can win the race", Scoop said.
"No Scoop, it's so **you** can win the race", Dizzy said.
"We don't care whether or not we win", Scrambler said, "we just want to do what we can for charity."
"If you want our favorite charity to get that money, then you train with me", Scoop said, "now come on!"
"No, we're done with this, Scoop", Dizzy said, "come on Scrambler, let's go see if Bob needs us."
And with that, the two smaller machines drove away.
"Fine, be that way", Scoop said, "I'll just train by myself so I can win the race!"
Scoop drove off to resume training.
"Pint-sized ingrates", Scoop said, "I'll show them."
Pretty soon, the day of the race came, and the crew was getting ready to leave.
"This is it, team", Bob said, "the big race."
"Are you all excited", Wendy asked.
"You bet I am", Scoop said, "I've been practicing all week, so I'm ready to kick some PAW Patrol behind."
"Love the enthusiasm, Scoop", Bob said, "Dizzy, Scrambler, how about you?"
"Sure, I guess", Dizzy said.
"Me too", Scrambler said.
"Excellent", Bob said, "well, let's get going!"
Bob climbed onto Roley, Moose climbed onto Muck, and Wendy climbed onto Lofty.
"Okay, team", Bob said, "onwards and racewards!"
The team traveled to Adventure Bay, and once they got there, Scoop, Scrambler, and Dizzy went over to where Marshall, Chase, and Skye were waiting with their race cars, while Bob, Wendy, Moose, Muck, Roley, Lofty, and Benny got together with Ryder, Rubble, Rocky, Zuma, Everest, and Tracker in the area where the audience was.
"Hey, Bob", Ryder said, "welcome to the race."
"Glad to be here", Bob said, "I'm looking forward to seeing who wins."
"Me too", Ryder said.
Out on the track, Scoop was talking to Marshall.
"Good luck, Scoop", Marshall said.
"I don't need luck to beat you guys", Scoop said, "I've been training all week, so I could win this thing with my eyes closed!"
Scoop went up to take his place at the starting line.
"Gosh", Marshall said, "what's his problem?"
The racers took their place at the starting line, and Mayor Goodway walked up to them.
"Okay, everyone", Mayor Goodway said, "here's how you'll be racing."
Mayor Goodway showed them a paper map of the course.
"For this race, the course will be an old setup we used for a race the pups had a few years ago", Mayor Goodway said, "you'll be starting here at City Hall, and then you'll go around Mr. Porter's restaurant, up to Jake's mountain, then past the Lookout, over the bridge and across the finish line at City Hall."
"Piece of cake", Scoop said.
"Good luck", Mayor Goodway said, "and may the best machine or pup win."
Mayor Goodway went beside the start/finish line and held up her flag.
"Okay", Mayor Goodway said, "on you mark, get set, go!"
Mayor Goodway waved her flag, and the three machines and three pups took off.
"This looks like it's going to be a good one", Mayor Goodway said.
As the racers raced by Mr. Porter's shop, Chase was in the lead.
"I've got this race in the bag", Chase said, "and this time, Alex isn't around to beat me!"
At that moment, Marshall drove past him.
"Maybe Alex isn't, but I am", Marshall said.
"Oh no you don't", Chase said.
Behind them, Scoop was catching up.
"No pup's taking victory away from me", Scoop said.
Scoop sped up, while Scrambler and Dizzy watched him.
"I'm worried about Scoop", Dizzy said.
"Me too", Scrambler said, "this desire to beat the pups has made him go crazy."
Pretty soon, the pups reached Jake's Mountain, and they all slid down the ski slope.
"When we had that race a long time ago, we slid down this way by accident", Chase said, "but we thought it was fun, so we made it intentional this time."
Scoop used the slippery snow to slide past Chase and Skye and get into second place behind Marshall.
"Yes", Scoop said, "I'm that close to victory!"
Pretty soon, the racers were approaching the lookout, and Marshall and Scoop were neck-and-neck.
"Victory is mine, Marshall", Scoop said, "and there's nothing you can do about it!"
"We'll see about that", Marshall said.
But near the lookout, the PAW Patroller had sprung an oil leak, and while the other racers were able to avoid the puddle of oil it had caused, Dizzy and Scrambler took notice of it.
"Look out", Dizzy shouted.
But before they could do anything, Dizzy and Scrambler slid on the oil and spun out, landing in a mud puddle.
"Yuck", Scrambler said.
On the bridge, Scoop continued to battle Marshall for the lead, when he noticed what happened to Dizzy and Scrambler.
"Oh no", Scoop thought.
After looking back and forth from the finish line to his two friends, Scoop turned around and drove back to the lookout, much to the surprise of everyone at the race.
"What's Scoop doing, Bob", Moose asked.
"The right thing", Bob said.
Scoop drove over to the puddle that Dizzy and Scrambler were stuck in.
"What are you doing, Scoop", Dizzy asked.
"Just helping out some friends", Scoop said.
Scoop helped the two small machines out of the mud puddle.
"But the race", Scrambler said, "what about winning?"
"About that", Scoop said, "I was so caught up in winning that I forgot the whole purpose of the race: having fun."
"And also charity", Dizzy said.
"Yes, that too", Scoop said.
"So, now what", Scrambler asked, "you've lost the race."
"I know", Scoop said, "but we can still finish it together, as friends."
"You read my mind", Dizzy said.
And with that, the three friends drove across the finish line together, earning cheers from the audience.
"Well how about that", Mayor Goodway said, "the PAW Patrol may have won the race, but Scoop has showed excellent sportsmanship by helping Dizzy and Scrambler."
When they met up with the other machines, Bob walked over to Scoop.
"I'm proud of you, Scoop", Bob said, "you did well by giving up victory to help Dizzy and Scrambler."
"Thanks, Bob", Scoop said.
Then, it was Marshall's turn to walk up to Scoop to say something.
"Hey, Scoop", Marshall said, "I just wanted to say that was a good race we ran."
"Thanks, Marshall", Scoop said, "and, congratulations."
"Thanks", Marshall said, "but I didn't come in first place."
Scoop was surprised to hear this.
"You didn't", Scoop asked.
"No", Marshall said, "Chase passed me at the last second and beat me."
"Oh, I see", Scoop said.
"But that's okay", Marshall said, "our charity still won, and I had fun."
"So did I", Scoop said.
"That's great", Marshall said, "I look forward to racing you again."
"Me too", Scoop said.

Outro
Jim: Was that great or what? When I first heard about it, I told Scoop that God probably had that oil leak happen and had Dizzy and Scrambler be the ones who hit it to show him that the way he was acting was not cool at all. I also told him the, Scoop heard the voice of the Lord and managed to sacrifice victory to save his friends. And that is the sign of a true athlete. And that reminds me of a verse from the second chapter from the book of Timothy. (grabs his bible and opens it up) " "Also if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not win the prize unless he competes according to the rules."- 2 Timothy 2:5". Well, thanks for visiting us here once again in Sunflower Valley. Remember, God made you special and loves you very much. Until we meet again, bye!
