Fanscription: What If Jake Was In Pups Save A White Wolf? By Otha Bland II

***I really love the season 6 episode, "Pups Save A White Wolf". I think it's one of the few best Everest center episodes they've actually had for a a-little while. But despite the enjoyment it always disappoint me that Turbot was in the episode instead of Jake. I mean this is a guy that she saved two times and protected during a blizzard in her debut episode, "The New Pup" back in season 2, 5 years ago at the time. And he couldn't have been there when his daughter needs help?!? What the hell were they thinking???***

***It really disappointed me of how rocky(no pun intended) they've been making their relationship in the show, because I think it could be very developed. Hell, I think FanFictions be making Jake a better character. So, with all that said, I decided to do my own rewrite to make it better. This is my Fanscription, also being my first one on what if Jake was in "Pups Save A White" instead of Turbot. And if you're a fan of The Nostalgia Critic and Channel Awesome, be sure to go on their YouTube channel to watch episodes of their series "Fanscription" hosted by Walter Banasiak and Rob Walker. Let's begin!***

## **Fanscript/Story**

We open the episode just the same as the original, Everest and Jake set up camp and she's excited to try and find some white wolves. Everest is also wearing just her backpack because her thick undercoat of fur is what she really needs in cold weather instead of her jacket, since that's all she ever had during her time living in Antarctica to keep her warm. She doesn't really need her jacket at all.

Everest(jittery): "I'm so excited to go find some white wolves, Jake. Maybe we'll see a cub or two. Can't wait till the gang gets here, I hope the wolves are around when they do."

Jake: "Haha. Ryder just texted me 2 minutes ago that they're halfway here. Surely they can't miss them."

Everest: "It was nice that they invited Tracker along. I haven't seen him in a long time and it feels like forever since we've all hung out together during The Winter Wonder Show."

Just then, her nose picks up a scent and she sees footprints.

Everest: "(excitedly) Jake, I think I just found wolf tracks. There might be some close by, come on!!"

Jake: "(chuckling) Oh right oh right, hold on! Geez."

I decided to keep more focus on them instead of cutting to The PAW Patrol in the PAW Patroller, since there hardly been any focus on their bond since season 2. Most specifically "The New Pup". Despite only meeting eachother, their relationship was probably better well done in that episode and had more chemistry. Even a comment said they made it one of the most emotional episodes, and they're right.

So Jake pics up his camera and catches up to Everest and hide behind bushes. They see a white wolf cub and get a good view of her from their distance.

Everest: "(whispering) Awwwwww! She's beautiful! I wish we could get closer."

Jake: "(whispering) I know. Y'know according to research, Arctic wolves are a subspecies of grey wolf, and can be found in Northern Canada, Alaska, Greenland and Iceland. Arctic wolf inhabits remote, extremely cold areas with average temperature of minus 30 degrees of Celsius. They also have a keen sense of hearing, smell and eyesight, which are used for identification of potential prey."

Everest: "That's pawesome. Hey, how about I go near her? We Huskies do look wolf-like. You can even take even take a quick snapshot. Besides, she does look a-little lost."

Jake: "Nice idea."

So Everest takes her backpack off along with her hat and collar to blend in and walks slowly towards the baby wolf. And please don't think I'm being creepy, cause I'm not. She's barks a few times and encourage her to play, telling her she'll help find her family. Jake is about to take a picture with his camera

Jake: "Hehe, they do look adorable together. Whoops, forgot the distance lens."

He goes back to their tent to get the lens but notice the snow coming down heavier.

Jake: "(yelling) Hey Everest, you might wanna comeback now! I think it's gonna storm."

Everest: "(disappointingly) Aw man! Well, I gotta go little buddy."

But the cub starts whimpering as she still don't see her family. Everest looks worry for her then looks back at her tent before deciding to stay with the cub and finding a cave to keep them safe until the storm dies out. Jake sees her going after the cub.

Jake: "(yelling) Everest comeback here!"

The snow and strong winds suddenly wins over and forces him back into the tent.

Everest: "We're sure to be OK in here until the blizzard goes away."

But then, snow avalanches in front of the entrance way out.

Everest: "Oh no! We're trap in here. Wait a minute, I can contact Jake and The PAW Patrol from my tag!(looks down at her neck)(disappointed)Oh yeah, I took it off."

The storm eventually end quickly and Jake comes out and hoping Everest found somewhere safe from the blizzard.

Jake: "Man, I hope Everest got somewhere away from the heavy snow. Surely she wasn't too far away from-DAAAAH!!!!"

Jake is shocked to find that the blizzard blew him and their tent to the edge of a frozen waterfall. He gets back inside and phones help frrom the team.

We cut to The PAW Patroller with seven of the pups, Ryder, and Robopup in the driver's seat as usual make it to the area Everest and Jake set up camp. Now first things first, no winter hats, especially if they're gonna strip them of their vests. Starting with The Winter Wonder Show I don't know why Spin-Master did that and decided to go with it for the remainder of the show. And I know some people might find it cute, but it just looks too weird to me seeing them strip their vests but keeping the headwear while looking naked in cold weather, that it reminds me of Rocky wearing just his ballcap in a couple season 1 episodes. Plus, I find no reason why they even need to wear anything in cold weather at all when they barely did whenever they had a winter episode in season 1(except for the fur on their backs, that's good enough). If they were out in the North or South Poles, then it would make sense as long as they were still wearing their vests. Or the thick coats from Sea Pups.

So the dogs excitedly run out barking and howling. Tracker is mostly excited since he got invited.

Tracker: "Hey amigos, I see Jake's truck below. That must be their camping spot. Let's belly-boggan race down there! I've never belly-boggan before."

The Pups: "Yeah!!"

They all get in position.

Chase: "On your bark, get set, slide!"

They all cheer as they slide down to campsite that's been setup, ending in a tie.

Skye: (lookin around) "I wonder where they've gone off to?"

Rocky: "Maybe they're lookin for some Arctic wolves Jake texted Ryder about."

Zuma: "Wadical!"

Just then, Ryder gets an urgent call from his phone.

Ryder: "Hey Jake, where are you guys?"

Jake: "Everest and I got separated during the storm, Ryder! She was going after an Arctic wolf cub finding her family until the blizzard forced us to take cover. Now the wind blew me to the edge of a frozen waterfall and I don't where she's at!"

Ryder: "Hang in there, Jake. We'll get you unstuck and find her. No Husky's too missing, no pup is too…***(Otha(me): Ahhh forget it! You know what he'll say next. Most of the sentences he create with that line don't make sense anymore anyways. So why bother?)**.* PAW Patrol, back to the PAW Patroller!"

The PAW Patrol: "Ryder needs us!"

We'll just skip the mishap since we don't need to go in detail to that. The only thing I will change is have them wearing their thick overcoats from Seat Pups but keep their usual headgear on. Except Zuma wears his backwards ballcap cause I think it he looks cooler with it than that dumb helmet. So Ryder explains what Jake told him and everyone is distraught of Everest's disappearance and are desperate to find her asap. Another change that I would make here is let Chase be the one leading the mission since there are tons of fans including myself that want him more developed as the team leader.

Chase: "OK, I think we'll need all paws on deck for this mission. First, Marshall, you'll need to use your ladder to reach Jake so he can crawl safely back on the land."

Marshall: "I'm fired up for a ruff ruff rescue!"

Chase: "And Tracker's superhearing can help tell us how know far or close she's at."

Tracker: "I'm all ears!"

Ryder: "Alright, PAW Patrol Is On A Roll!"

They get into their vehicles and set off to save Everest, Jake and her new friend. Meanwhile in the cave, the wolf cub is crying as Everest tries her best to calm her down. But she feels a-bit guilty, not sure if she made the right choice to coming back for the cub and not returning to Jake before the storm hit.

Everest: "I should've just ran back to Jake before the snow got worst! Then again, you would've been alone and frightened by the storm."

The wolf cub licks her on the face as comfort, causing Everest to give a small sad smile in return. She noticed the snow on the inside of the cave have become frozen solid. She's has an idea but without her grappling hook, she can't break the ice in order for them to try digging their way out. But she thinks wisely, picks up a rock and successfully break the ice enough so they can begin some digging. She begins digging but sees the wolf cub still a-little scared.

Everest: "Hey little buddy, it's gonna be OK. When we get out we'll find your parents! C'mon, help me dig us out of here. You like music, wanna hear a song?"

The wolf cub is cheered up and joins Everest in getting themselves out. I'll be real about the working song from the original. I love to hear her sing again, but I was a-little neutral about the song. So I changed the lyrics but you can still like the original song, that's fine with me. But I still kept it in tune with "London Bridge".

Everest:

"🎶Dig and dig your freeway out

Don't be sad, show your glad

Your new Husky friend's right here

Don't be scared!🎶"

Meanwhile as the Husky and wolf cub begin digging their way to escape, Marshall heads to the waterfall to get Jake. Tracker goes with him so he can use his grappling cables to pull the tent back.

Marshall: "RUFF, ladder! OK, Jake, just grab onto the bars and I'll pull you back onto the surface!"

Jake does just like yes he was told as Tracker does his part.

Jake: "Phew! Thanks for the save, Marshall. You too for retrieving our tent, Tracker."

Tracker: "De nada, amigo. Ryder said that you said Everest took off with a wolf cub when the storm hit, Jake."

Jake: "Yes she did. Poor little guy must've got lost so I guess she wanted to make sure she was protected until the storm slow down. But I haven't seen her since! I hope it didn't snow too hard to bury them!"

Yup, in this version, Jake is ACTUALLY doing shit to find & rescue Everest in return for saving his life in the Antarctic, AND he's worry for her. Thinking about this makes Marshall more worry. And yes, I'm creating some Evershall moments. Don't blame me and everyone else who ships Skase and Evershall, blame Jamie Whitney and Scott Kraft, the original director, showrunner, co-creators and developers. They started it. Marshall is starting to have bad thoughts if they don't find Everest, but he knows there's no time to think like that and shakes his head. Walks up to Jake and pats him

Marshall: "Hey lighten up, bro. We'll find her, eventually."

Tracker: "Maybe we can find something that's got her sense and Chase could track her down."

Jake: "Maybe her hat, collar and puppack is still left behind when she disappeared. Because she would've contact us by now to tell us where she's at. Then again, wherever she's at, could've blocked her signal."

Marshall: "Chase, do you copy?"

Chase: "Loud and clear, buddy. What's up?"

Marshall: "We're gonna find Everest's equipment and you're the best sniffer we got. So, we need you to come and pick up her scent so we'll figure out the direction she headed.

Chase: "Be right there! On the chase to solve the case!"

Chase races to their area. Jake finds Everest's stuff and Chase begins to pick her scent up.

Chase: "She went…..**\*sniff\* \*sniff\* \*sniff\***..4 miles to the north east!"

Marshall: "All right, **\*high fives Chase\*** let's go!"

Tracker: "Hold it, I'm picking something up."

Tracker begins to hear voices and howls from the direction they're heading. We cut to Skye who's looking for Everest while she's flying. Suddenly, she gets a call.

Chase: "Skye, Tracker is hearing someone in the area we're heading. You see anything?"

Skye: "I see two wolves, but no Everest."

Marshall: "Maybe those, wolves could be looking for their baby who also went missing with her!"

Jake: "Marshall, that's perfect. If we find them we'll try finding Everest much quicker. But we gotta stay far from the wolves as much as possible. Don't wanna startle them off."

Chase: "Right!"

We transition to four screens showing Chase contacting everybody, Skye still flying, Rocky and Zuma searching by a river and Rubble digging up snow to see if Everest is underneath.

Chase: "Skye, Rocky, Zuma, Rubble, meet, Marshall, Tracker, Jake and I ASAP. I think we found some luck to know where Everest."

Pups: "On it, chief!"

Now if you're wondering where Ryder is during all this, he's back at the PAW Patroller watching the dogs on their mission from the monitor through a drone. This is just to help develop The PAW Patrol dogs in being independent more since we don't see enough of that in the show and because some fans besides me been wanting that since Ultimate Rescue. So they head to the direction where Chase picked up Everest scent. We cut back to Everest and the wolf cub still digging. But the cub is getting tired despite some effort being made.

Everest: "Go ahead and rest, buddy. You've done enough, don't want you passing out from the hard work. But I'm so thirsty!"

Everest stops too and decides to eat some snow to stop feeling dehydrated. She encourage the baby to do so and hugs her. Everest herself is starting to get exhausted and take a break too. But she herself is starting to feel scared. She starts to be reminded how she was living all alone in the South Pole in her igloo with nobody but herself to take care of her and penguins being her only friends. Eventually, she begins to cry.

Everest: "I miss Jake! What if nobody finds us?! I wanna go home!"

The cub looks sorry for Everest and gets closer to nuzzle her. This gives her a small smile as she calms down. She lets out a howl. Then this gives her an idea.

Everest: “Hey, maybe if we howl really loud, someone will hear us!”

The cub barks and jumps happily to the idea.

Everest: “I don’t know if you ever done it before, but I have faith in you and you can do it. Because if I believe in you, then you can believe in yourself. Ready? 1, 2, 3…...”

Everest and Wolf Cub: “AHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!”

Back outside, the team are back together as they’re heading to the direction Chase smells Everest’s scent at. Tracker begins to hear voices. They all hide behind a nearby big rock.

Voice 1: “Flake!”

Voice 2: “Flake, where are you?!”

We cut to reveal two adult Arctic Wolves looking worry. And yes, the wolves are talking in this version. I feel it made more sense if they did since wolves are dog-like creatures and I have no idea why they didn't let them speak in the show. Lots of fanfics have wolves talking, so why can't the show? Anyways back to the story.

Skye: “(whispering) Hey, it’s those wolves I spotted in the air.”

Rocky: “(whispering) I think Flake must be their baby that Everest is taking care of.”

Zuma: “(whispering)Aww! Poor wittle wolfy dudette.”

Tracker: “(whispering)Wait a minute, I’m picking up something. I hear…...howling, and it’s closer. (points at the cave) I think it’s coming from that cave with that big snow bank covering the entrance.”

Chase: “I think that’s where they’re at!

Jake: “Then let’s go!”

They started running to the cave. The wolves hear howling too.

Male Wolf: “Honey, do you hear that?”

Female Wolf: “That’s Flake with somebody else with her! And she’s howling for the first time!”

Male Wolf: “I hear it coming from that cave. Let’s go!”

They immediately stop when they see The PAW Patrol and Jake running. Luckily for both groups they’re only a few distances apart from eachother. The gang starts digging.

Marshall: “Quick everybody. Dig as much as you can!”

Everest: “Marshall, is that you?!? Is Jake with you guys?”

Skye: “Hold tight, sis. We’re busting you out!”

Rubble: “(chuckling) Or of course, digging you out!”

Others: ”Yeah yeah yeah.”

Male Wolf: “Those dogs and that man must be helping a friend of theirs who’s trapped with our Flake.”

Female Wolf: “Maybe we should help them.”

And so they do by the pups and Jake’s surprise at seeing them up close, but still continue. Rubble goes back and forth digging by himself and with his shovel. The work took a long time as the Sun was setting, but eventually they accomplished their mission but exhausted from the hard work.

Rubble: “That’s it! I’m just gonna bring my bulldozer to make it easy the next this happens!”

Everyone(except the adult wolves who are offscreen): **\*Laughing\***

Just then, Everest and Flake walk out and everyone is in joy and runs towards her. Flake runs to her parents

Pups and Jake: “EVEREST!!!!!”

Everest: “HEY!!!”

Jake picks up Everest and hugs her really tight. Everest has a sad smile on her. The other pups tackle Jake and Everest to the ground, licking and hugging her. Skye, Rubble and Marshall hug her the most considering their her best friends. Skye and Rubble release, but Marshall who’s got a warm smile on with both eyes closed doesn’t let go.

Everest: “Uh Marshall, you can let go now.”

Marshall: “Oh, right”

He blushes after letting go from the hug. Rocky, Chase and Zuma slyly smile at eachother to the fact they know what was going on with Marshall. Everest is joyful to see them all again, but feels ashamed at the same time.

Everest: “I’m sorry, Jake. I should’ve cameback to you when the snow was getting rough. But I couldn’t leave Flake all by herself while it was storming, even if it was a short one. She’s still small.”

Jake: “I understand. And you really did make the right choice too. What you did for that wolf is just like what you did when we first met. You’re really growing up so quickly, and I’m proud.”

The mom and dad wolves with Flake comes forward to Everest.

Male Wolf: “And you must be the one named after a great mountain called Everest.”

Everest: “(blushing) Y-yes sir.”

Female Wolf: “Thank you for protecting our little Flake. We don’t know what we would’ve done if she wasn’t found. We’re so proud she can howl now.”

Everest: “Just doin my job as a noble PAW Patroller, mam.”

They give Everest her hat, collar and backpack back to her, with Everest feeling relief to see her hat again. The Arctic wolf family walk away happily with Flake making small jumps with joy. Everest looks on with a huge smile, but her smile fades away as she starts crying again.

Jake: “What’s wrong, girl?”

Everest: **\*sniff\*** “I guess seeing Flake back with her parents reminded me of my own mom and dad!”

Yes, I’m decide to let one of the dogs mention their parents. I’ve always founded it to be disrespectful that there’s never one mention of their moms and/or dads and yet, Rubble and Tracker both mentioned their grandfathers. Jake crouch down to comfort her.

Jake: “Hey c’mon girl, smile. It’s not like you to be sad. Wherever they are, they’re probably proud of what you do for us right now.”

She gives a sad smile in return of his comforting words and they hug.

Everest: “You’re the greatest…..dad!”

Jake is surprised at her calling him that, but the hug continues. We cut to nighttime. The whole PAW Patrol, still in their coats, and Jake tell Ryder everything about the adventure while cooking dinner. Marshall and Skye playfully chase Everest.

Ryder: “Ah hahahahaha. You pups sure were happy freeing Everest from the cave alright.”

Rubble: “And I wasn’t thinking about getting hungry all day!”

Everyone laughed. We cut over to Everest, Marshall and Skye who were apart from the others.

Everest: “I’m actually glad to not wear my jacket anymore. We Huskies’ thick fur is our very own overcoat, that we get to grow it back everytime after we shed and just in time for fall and winter!”

Marshall & Skye: “Lucky.”

Everest giggles for a few seconds before looking down at her feet in sadness. She was starting to miss Flake and whimpered. But then she heard a bark. She turns around and saw Flake and her parents have comeback to see her. She runs towards Flake and she licks Everest on the face before giving Flake a hug.

Everest: “Eh hehehehehehehehe! I knew you’d comeback for me to say goodbye. Actually, not goodbye, just so long. I hope to see you again. And if you ever get lost in a blizzard again, just AHOOOOOOOOO!!! For help.”

Tracker: “Hey look everyone!”

Tracker points up and everybody looks in awe as they witness the Northern Lights flashing above them. I decided to not let this be something Ryder already knew would happen and make it a big surprise. It’s OK for kids to have great or even superior intelligence, but I wouldn’t want a highly intelligent person to act like they know all and know when something happens. Otherwise it’s gonna be annoying.

So the episode ends with Everest following the wolves and joins them as they howl up to the colorful night sky with Jake taking a picture with his camera and a smile on his face. The last shot is the photo Jake took with Everest and the Arctic wolves howling at the Northern Lights, as we fade to black and the credits roll.

***And there you have it! Does everything that’s been rewritten make the episode more enjoyable and fixes one problem? Absolutely. For whatever reason, maybe you agree with me, maybe you don’t. But I highly believe if Jake was in it and actually doing something for her in return by saving her life, it would’ve been excellent character development for him as a caretaker and father figure. I do appreciate the original episode for trying to make her character grow a-little more by not abandoning the wolf cub. And by having Chase aswell as Marshall leading the mission does help develop them as leader and co-leader more. And Tracker does become more useful this time around if they went with this direction when the original episode was made. This would even help show the dogs treat Everest like she’s actually important by making them overjoy when they reunite. And giving one of them some PTSD wouldn’t hurt the show at all, just help some characters feel more relatable for a good change. And judging by how all this was written, could’ve made this into a good half hour episode in celebration of Everest’s 5-year anniversary back on the show  in 2019. And no, I won’t do a rewrite of Wrong Way Explorer, just pretend that didn’t happen so don’t bother askin XD  Until next time if you see an episode you feel like could've been better, just yelp for help!  ;)***
