That's Why I Love You: A Marshall x Everest Collection

Friends (Part 1)

"Thanks for coming with me, Everest."

"It's fine, what are friends for?"

"But I wouldn't ask you to do this."

"But you did, and here we are. C'mon, just relax and enjoy the party."

"...I'll try."

Believe me, a bride always wants her wedding to be perfect, even if it means to put her friends in an awkward situation. And this was the case of Michelle.

Michelle was an old friend of the team, and now that she was getting married, they couldn't say no to her invitation. It was all fine for the ceremony, but there was something special with the politics of the reception: "Only accompanied." Maybe because of the lone wolfs that want to take advantage of the bride's maids or any lonely girl in the party. Or she just wants all in her special day to be happy.

Any of these statements applied for Marshall.

Of course, Marshall is not a jerk that takes advantage of a weak girl to ... you know what. He is too shy for those things. Actually, the girls were the ones that usually take advantage on him.

That's one of the reasons why he didn't have anyone to go to the wedding with, but he didn't want to disappoint his friend, so he asked the only girl he knew wouldn't laugh of him, Everest.

You see, since the PAW Patrol members disbanded the team, everyone took separate ways. Chase and Skye broke up for the third time now, but they always get back together, somehow. Zuma, Rocky and Rubble still hang out as a males crew, hunting the girls around the city, especially Zuma, who also used to date the bride. The rumors says that he once dated Skye and that's the reason she and Chase broke up the first time, but they never talk about the subject. However, you can notice some smirks and looks between them when Chase is looking somewhere else.

And of course Marshall, he actually doesn't see them a lot, just Chase was the closest but still, it wasn't the same.

And there was Everest...

"I like to dress like this for these occasions." She stared at her dress, which was a long light blue silk dress with little sparks here and there. Marshall rolled his eyes but smiled.

"I know, even for your birthday you dressed like that." He replied in his usual funny mood.

Everest took another look to her dress "But it wasn't the-"

"The same dress, I know." He said walking with her through the party.

"Oh yeah? What about that old tux of you?" She replied pointing at his black with a design of a fake shirt under it.

"Girls love this tux, you know that!" He joked. After a short round of laughter he tried to walk to the chairs in the side of the room, until Everest stopped him. "You never change, do you?"

"What you mean?" asked Marshall; she put a paw on his shoulder and motioned to follow her to the dance floor.

"What I mean? Oh Marshall, silly Marshall." She said, laughing. "We've been friends for almost 5 years now, I know you better than yourself and I also know that your definition of a party is being on a corner away from everybody waiting for the party to end."

"Oh please, it is not..." He was about to answer but she quickly looked at him with blaming eyes. Marshall flinched, like he was been accused for a crime. "Ok, it's true!"

"You can't lie to me, Marshall." She joked, Marshall huffed. "Let's do something different for now, ok?" She let the music take control of her moves, motioning him to follow her into the dance floor.

Marshall chuckled at his friend's behavior. "Ok... But don't expect much from me."
