More Than Friends

Kasey rushes into the lookout looking around to see, everyone - except Luz, in the main lobby. Gus and Rocky playing chess with each other. Amity, Willow and Skye both reading books. Hunter and Zuma doing a puzzle; Hunter getting annoyed from how many pieces there are. Rubble was taking a nap on a beanbag as usual, and Ryder on the other one playing his pup-pad game. All while Marshall and Chase were playing Pup Pup Boogie.

"Hey guys has anyone seen Luz?" The wolf hybrid looked around the room

Rocky, the mixed breed nodded his head, "Yep. She's in the backyard"

"Thanks Rocky" Kasey grinned as she turned around and ran out.

As the hybrid ran outside, she saw Luz sitting alone under a tree in the shade. The pup sadly sighed as she trotted over towards her.

"Hey Luz what are you doing all alone out here?" Kasey asked sitting next to her

"Oh nothing....just..thinking about recent events" Luz sighed

Kasey jokingly chuckled, "Uh oh! Someone once told me that thinking led to no good"

Luz chuckled and rolled her eyes as she was the one that joked about that too

Once they let everything die down for a few moments, Kasey spoke up again. "Really, what's wrong?"

Luz sighed. "I-it's hard to explain....with everything that happened recently in the Boiling Isles: Emperor Belos taking over, your sister; Shadow, nearly taking over this town and even crossing over to the Demon Realm and helping Belos....AND! Having to evacuate and leave Eda and King behind..I..........I don't know.."

Luz twirled around a piece of her hair as of worry. A nervous tick of hers.

Kasey sighed, "I know it's hard...but I know everyone will get through this" she slightly grinned

"Th-there's..... there's also something else too" Luz added

Kasey confusingly tilted her head, "which is?"

Luz stood up hugging herself tightly, "....S..Something that...it's been hard for me to come out with..for so long..... it's.... it's just so hard to put into words..."

**\_\_\_\_\_**

Luz closed her eyes while sighing deeply.....

*Luz: The day's getting late, and I don't think I got the chance to get this off my chest*

(Kasey blushed.)

*Kasey: How do you think I felt for all this time before?*

(Luz chuckled nervously rubbing the back of her head.)

*Luz: Guess that's on me...*

(Kasey extends out her paw to Luz.)

*Kasey: But now I have you, may I have this dance to put my fears to rest?*

(Luz takes Kasey's paw in hers pulling her up to her.)

*Luz: I'll do my best*

*Kasey: The odds are against us*

*Luz: Since when has that stopped us?*

(Luz starts twirling Kasey around the backyard.)

*Kasey: 'Cause you can take away the memories that we took for granted*

*Luz: And you can take away the context that helped me understand it*

*Kasey: And though through all of these years*

(Luz and Kasey pick up their pace as they keep twirling and dancing around the backyard grinning at their presence)

*Luz: It all just feels so absurd*

*Kasey: Who knew the most important times would all now seem like a blur?*

*Luz: Yeah you can take away the life we thought would never have ended*

*Kasey: 'Cause now I live with no regret beyond the time I pretended that we were*

*Both: Less than this, short of bliss thank you for being more than friends*

(Luz slows down their dancing looking down at the ground sadly.)

*Luz: My times wearing thin, and I don't wanna say goodbye when it's just getting good*

(Kasey looks back at the tower, thinking back at her past and how her job is important to the PAW Patrol.)

*Kasey: And these expectations I can't live up to the way I should*

(Luz twirls Kasey around a few times as they go back to dancing around in each other's arms.)

*Both: I guess we'll always have our demons to fight, but know you'll never be alone through the night*

*Luz: 'Cause I'll stand by you*

*Kasey: Through everything you do*

Both: And all that matters is what we've been through

*Kasey: 'Cause you can take away the memories that we took for granted*

*Luz: And you can take away the context that helped me understand it*

*Kasey: And though through all of these years*

*Luz: It all just feels so absurd*

*Kasey: Who knew the most important times would all now seem like a blur?*

*Luz: Yeah you can take away the life we thought would never have ended*

*Kasey: 'Cause now I live with no regret beyond the time I pretended that we were*

*Both: Less than this, short of bliss thank you for being more than friends*

*Kasey: What if our time's not meant to last?*

(Luz picked Kasey up spun her around, Kasey giggling and set her back down on the ground and twirled her around more around the backyard as the two kept stepping and dancing to the rythm of their singing.)

*Luz: You know I'll be here for you*

*Kasey: We gave too much up to end this fast*

(The two were non-aware of the audience that was building up on the balcony above on the tower. Ryder, all the other pups, Gus, Willow, Hunter and even Amity watching the two singing their hearts out to one another and twirling each other around the yard. The grins on Luz's and Kasey's faces. Amity couldn't take the scene any longer. Frowning, she walked inside leaving the others.)

*Luz: Don't fear, 'cause I've learned the truth. I know the reason why, I dove right in, let fear subside*

*Kasey: 'Cause the only thing worse than the end*

*Both: The only thing worse than the end is never starting at all*

(The two slow down their twirling and spinning. Luz slowly spins Kasey around her once more.)

*Luz: The day's getting late, and I don't think I got the chance to get this off my chest*

*Kasey: Well now you have*

*Luz: And now you have*

*Both: Let's make this last*

(Kasey twirls and spins Luz around her a few times. Luz giggling. Kasey warmly smiles at the latina teenager.)

*Kasey: 'Cause you can take away the memories that we took for granted*

*Luz: And you can take away the context that helped me understand it*

*Kasey: And though through all of these years*

*Luz: It all just feels so absurd*

*Kasey: Who knew the most important times would all now seem like a blur?*

*Luz: Yeah you can take away the life we thought would never have ended*

*Kasey: 'Cause now I live with no regret beyond the time I pretended that we were*

*Both: Less than this, short of bliss thank you for being more than friends*

*Luz: So what if I feel I don't belong?*

*Kasey: You always will in my heart, so what if the risk I took was wrong?*

*Luz: You're better off than the start*

*Both: I'll be brave, live for now*

*Luz: We found ourselves*

*Kasey: Don't care how*

*Luz: For once in my life*

*Kasey: For once in my life*

*(Luz and Kasey finally stops dancing and closes the space between each other smiling, looking into each other's eyes. Kasey has a joyful tear rolling down her cheek which Luz gently wipes it away with her finger grinning at the hybrid*.)

*Both: For once in my life, I can finally say...*

*Luz: I love you*

(Luz nuzzles her nose against Kasey's which Kasey returns the nuzzle.)

*Kasey: I love you*

*Luz: I love you*

*Kasey: you know it's true*

*Luz: I love you*

*Kasey: Forever and ever*

(Kasey nuzzles into Luz's neck smiling lovingly.)

*Luz: I love you*

"I love you Luz" Kasey smiles

"I love you too Kasey" Luz grins wrapping her arms around the pup in a gentle hug looking down at her. "I'll always be here for you"
