## Story

*~6:00 AM~*

“Dad! Dad! Daaaaaad! Wake up! It’s Halloween!” Whispered Autumn, shaking her poor dad in attempt to wake him. “We wanna go twick or tweating!” Whined Birch. “Kids... what time is it? \*yawns\* it’s to early. Go back to bed. Trick-or-treating is at night remember?” Yawned Chase, lightly taking his two pups off him and sending them back to bed.

*~10:00 AM~*

 “BACON!” Howled Birch, racing out the elevator and accidentally knocking into Clarity, causing her to spill her orange juice. “Oops! Sowwy! I’ll help cwean it up!” He yelped, scurrying into the kitchen and coming out with two rags. Cody slowly padded out of the elevator and took it in. It was decorated with paper cut ghosts and bats that hung from the ceiling and festive carved pumpkins, which glowed with fake candles. There were orange and black streamers everywhere. It was definitely a festive room. He laughed when he saw his brother helping Clarity clean up some spilled orange juice. For breakfast Ryder had made the pups special pumpkin spice pancakes, which were shaped as pumpkins and witch hats. All the pups eagerly at them and the bacon up. When they had eaten to the fill, the parents broke that new out to them. “Guess what pups? We’re going to the Halloween Hoedown at the barn!” Appalachia barked excitedly. All the puppies yipped and howled with excitement except Milo, who just scoffed and finished his last piece of bacon. He was secretly excited to get the chance to sing a song though, but without anyone seeing.

At the farm, Farmers Al and Yumi were eagerly decorating the barn. They were hosting the first ever Halloween Hoedown and were set to make it perfect. But suddenly Farmer Al accidentally knocked down a the ladder, which landed with a loud thud. This spooked the animals and they strayed getting rowdy. Bettina broke through the fence and stormed off into the woods. The pigs and sheep got into the barn and started knocking things down and creating a big mess. “Oh dear!” Said Farmer Yumi, looking around the wrecked barn. “We better call the PAW Patrol!” They said in unison.

“Ryder! Ryder!” Ryder heard his Pup Pad beep. “What’s up Farmer Yumi? How’s the Hoedown coming along?” Ryder asked. The sixteen-year-old knew something was wrong though. “That’s the problem Ryder! Some of the animals got spooked, and wrecked the whole thing! We managed to get the back into the pen, but Bettina’s still missing, the fence is broken, and the barn is a mess! Can you help?” Pleaded Farmer Yumi. “No problem! No barn is to big, no pup is to small! PAW Patrol! To the Lookout!” “Ryder needs us!” They all barked. They said goodbye to their kids and rushed to elevator. Marshall slipped on a pumpkin and crashed into the pups. He may be an adult pup now, but he was still clumsy as ever. When he sat up, the carved pumpkin was on his head. “Looks like I’m a Marshall-O-Lantern!” He said sheepishly. All the pups laughed, and the elevator rose up.

“Wonder what’s up?” Barked Cody, bounding up to join his friends and siblings. “I dunno! I hope it isn’t somethin’ about the Hoedown!” Shrugged Bailey. “We should go check it out!” Yapped Autumn, lolling her tongue and wagging her tail. “Yeah! Maybe we could even help!” Leia agreed. The puppies stumbled to the elevator and Birch, who was in the back, pulled his tail in just in time.

“Alright PAW Patrol is on a- huh?” Ryder was about to head down the metal pole that lead to his garage, when suddenly the elevator clocked open again. Out tumbled ten puppies. “See? Not so bad!” Sierra barked triumphantly. The puppies then gave sheepish glances to all the nine sets of eyes trained don them. “Supwise?” Birch laughed nervously. “Pups! What are you doing here?” Barked Chase. “We just wanted to help...” whined Willow, looking down at her shuffling paws. The parent’s gazes softened and they let out small chuckles. “Ryder?” Murmured Rocky, turning to face his leader for permission. “It wouldn’t hurt. All you pups ride with your parents though. Now, PAW Patrol is on a roll! Again...” all the pups laughed and barked as Ryder slid down the pole.

Cody and Birch sat in Chase’s two spare seats, while Autumn hopped in January’s. Eco and Willow rode in Rocky’s rode truck, and Bailey, Sierra, and Clarity happily went with Appalachia. Milo didn’t really want to help so he stayed home with Honey, and Leia rode in Skye’s helicopter. When they arrived at the barn, Chase and Skye got to work at finding Bettina while everyone else pitched in at fixing the barn. Rocky and Eco proudly made some spare brooms, because the old brooms were crawling with spiders and they really didn’t feel like calling Spark just to get them off. Spirit and Rocky started fixing the fence and eventually it was safe to let the animals again. “I just don’t understand why the animals always get out! We keep having to fix the fence!” Complained Spirit. Rocky chuckled at this and ruffled her fur tuft. “I feel ya Spirit.” He agreed with a light laugh.

Chase and Skye had managed to round Bettina up, who had calmed down by now. Farmer Al tempted the cow into her newly fixed pen with a handful of hay. Once they had parked/landed, Skye and Chase started helping with the decorating part. The barn was looking better than ever, and even though the pups were tired, they felt accomplished. “We helped today!” Bailey barked with an excited wag of his tail. Autumn bumped her friend playfully. “You jinxed it!” She snickered. “How!” He growled playfully. “You said, ‘I hope it isn’t something about the Halloween Hoedown!’ In the beginning!” She replied. “Nonsense!” He said with a wave of his paw. Everyone laughed at the two pup’s playful bickering.

“Yeehaw! It’s Halloween Hoedown time everyone!” Called Farmer Yumi once all the guests had arrived. Now the party was really on. Everyone enjoyed dancing and the treats and all the different costumes. Ghosts hung from the ceiling and even Bettina had bat wings on. Milo was happily singing a song he knew, but glancing around to make sure no one was watching. Bailey and Autumn were still teasing each other, but they too were enjoying a good dance. Birch was spinning Clarity around with a laugh. It’s official, it was the best first Halloween ever! Happy Howl-O-Ween everypup!
