Skye finishes putting a banner up for the Fall Music Festival, landing with her wings. Äll is finished now” Skye nods grinning

Mayor Goodway walks in with Chickaletta in hand, öh what wonderful decorations! This Annual Fall Music Fstival will be better than last year.¨

Ïḿ wondering how many people are going to participate¨ Skye wondered while looking up at the stage

Mayor Goodway grabbed a clipboard from the table beside her, Ẅell signupś don end til in a few minutes. Right now only 10 people are on the list.¨

¨Only 10?¨ Zuma asked tilting his head walking up to the two, ¨Man, thatś disappointing¨

Near some bushes, a young American English Coonhound and tree walker coonhound pups watch from a distance. The American English Coonhound pup watches with joy, tail wagging so fast. The white-tan tree walker coonhound watches nervously.

Ümm, brother..must you peak your head over the bushes? Itś weird to be watching them¨ she glances over towards them and looks back to her brother for a few

¨Nah, everything is fine¨ the American English Coonhound pup waved it off and continued to watch them. ¨Itś always been my dream to preform at a festival. Do you know how many people would love my music?¨

Ümmm….alot..?¨ The labrador pup asked

The American English Coonhound pup nodded in agreement.

Worried that they would be caught, she checks around them, ¨Sh--should we get back to mama and papa?¨

¨Were´re fine right now Mocha. Lessen up a little¨

Mocha sighed sadly sitting down, watching as her older brother kept watching over the bushes. Seeing the group walking away from the set up stage, noticing a guitar and a trumpet on a stand, he ran up on stage excitingly- startling Mocha.

She jumped, going around the bush in alert and worry, ¨Band! What are you doing?!¨ she haistly whispered

Band grabbed the guitar and strummed some cords, nodding in satisfaction. ¨T̈rying out these two instruments¨ He then started playing a cord from Hotel California.

Mocha kept her head down as she sneaked towards the stage, nervously, ¨Please get down. Your going to get us in trouble¨

Band looks down at her, tail wagging, ¨Weŕe not going to get in trouble.¨

¨But what if mama or papa is looking for us and the catch us here?¨ Mocha fearfully whispers as she looks around, ¨Weĺl be in trouble for sure¨

Ẅhat are you two doing?¨ A voice called out which made the two jump a bit. There, walking in was a german shepard pup

¨o--oh nothing..¨ Mocha started nervously, ¨W--we weŕe just leaving...¨

Mocha lowered her head as she walked passed the german shepard, then stopped to look behind her at Band. He was sadly setting the guitar down and started down the stairs when the shepard stopped him.

¨No, I wasn´t telling you guys to leave. I was just wandering what was going on. I heard really good music and wanted to see who was playing that¨ The german shepard grinned

Band wagged his tail with glee, turning towards the shepard, ¨That was me¨

¨Very impressive. Could you play other songs, or only that one piece?¨

Band walked back to the guitar and put the strap around him and begun to play a section from the song *-Walk This Way-*

¨Wow!¨

Mocha walked beside the german shepard, ¨My brother always had an interest with music¨

¨Oh no!¨ a cry could be heard from the distance, which Band instantly stopped playing and the three ran to check out the situation

¨Whatś wrong Mayor Goodway?¨ Chase asked

¨I just got a notice that one of the performers for the festival got sick. Now we only have 9 participants! This is just a disaster!¨

¨Hold on! You just might have 10¨ Chase then turned to Band, ¨How about being in the Fall Music Festival?¨

¨uh?!¨ Band said in shock, ¨Me?!¨

Chase nodded smiling. ¨yes you. You have PAWtastic music skills!¨

¨He does?” Mayor Goodway asks the police pup confused

He turns nodding, ¨I heard him playing a part of Hotel California and Walk This Way on the electric guitar. Heś amazing!¨

¨Interesting. Yeah, why not. This pup may enter the festival¨ The mayor then grabbed her clipboard from her purse, ¨I'll write him down right now¨

¨R..right now..?¨ Band gulped

Mayor Goodway looked down at the pup, Ẅhatś your name pup?¨

¨...Band..¨ he hesitated

After a few scribbles, the mayor setted down the clipboard, ¨Alright. Band is now on the schedule.¨

For a minute, mixed emotions of excitement and nervousness bubbled up in Band. A slight grin and a sway of his tail. The sun sets down and the lights are shining down on the stage. All of Adventure Bay is there for the Fall Music Festival, to watch all the musicians.

Band peeked out his head from the curtain to look at all the people that made it for tonight. He gulped nervously as he pulled his head back behind the curtains, ¨What did I get myself into? Iḿ not used to playing infront of others! Or a huge crowd for that matter!¨

¨Why don´t you just tell the monitor that you don´t want to preform anymore?¨ Mocha asked

Band shook his head, ¨No. Iḿ not doing that¨ As he watched the Mayor walk out on stage, he took a deep breath, ¨I´m still going to do this...for the love of music...¨

Singers, Solo and Ensembles, variety of instrument players preformed. Band took a peak as a preformer played the violin. Amazed by how much talented people Adventure Bay had.

Mayor Goodway walked up to him, ¨Alright Band, your up next. Get your instrument ready¨

Band nodded as she walked away. Taking deep breaths as the last strings were strung, and the crowd cheered.

¨Now, Ladies and Gentlemen, our last preformer tonight. A pup named Band, playing the electric guitar¨

Mayor Goodway extended a arm out as Band came out from behind the curtain, onto the stage. The crowd cheered and clapped for him, some whispering of how sweet he is. Band smiled at the compliments he could hear.

Band sat down on the chair and grabbed the guitar, strumming a few strings before begining his song: *Free Bird*. The joy and excitement he felt as he was finally playing up on stage like he always wanted since her was a tiny pup. His dream. Completed. The crowd cheers and applause the pup once he finished. Band smiled with a huge grin; his tail wagging fast with pride, he took a bow and walked back behind the stage curtain.

¨Band!¨ his younger sister happily barked, ¨That was PAWtastic!¨

Band chuckled, ¨Thanks sis. Iḿ glad that everyone liked it¨

¨Liked it? We loved it!¨ a voice said out behind the two. As the two turned around, there standing behind them was the PAW Patrol, along with Ryder.

¨Uh?¨

Skye nodded, ¨You are a very talented pup there with that guitar. Can you play other instruments?¨

Band grinned nodding, ¨Yep! I can play every instrument!¨

¨Impressive¨ Ryder said, ¨Say, Why don´t you join us? We surely would be in need of a Musical pup. Just in case we have any parties or any other events that we´ll need music¨

Band´s tail begun wagging very fast. A big smile across his muzzle, ¨R-Really!?¨

¨Really?!¨ Mocha also said at the same time as Band

Ryder nodded bringing out a black collar with a pup tag dangling from it that had a treble clef and a note on it. Band gasped with glee.

Bouncing up and down with joy, ¨yes! yes! yes!¨

The PAW Patrol leader chuckled as he clipped the collar around Band´s neck. The American English Coonhound pup looked down at the collar smiling with pride. Looking aside him, he noticed his sister´s sad expression. He turned to her, ¨Mocha...what´s wrong?¨

¨What am I going to do now since your going to be with them?¨ She asked sadly

Ryder approached the pup, kneeling down infront of her, ¨You can come along with him if you want. We have enough space¨

Mocha looked up at him, ¨..Really?¨

Ryder nodded patting her softly on the head.

Mocha wagged her tail grinning and hugged her big brother. Proud to be a younger sister to a PAW Patrol Bound Sibling....
