//------------------------------// // Everest // Story: Cozy's Paw Patrol // by Tidal Wave2 //------------------------------// ADVENTURE BAY The sun was shining, birds were singing. On days like this, little kids should be frolicking in the field, or that's what one pup was doing. Everest; a female husky pup, was taking a walk through the park while singing to herself. "La la le do, la do la leeee!" Everest was admiring the scenery as she walked, stopped to sniff some lilies, and waved to a couple of kids passing by.  "Ah, what a day."  After that, Everest smelled something.  She turned towards the smell and saw that the tree in the center of the park had finally grown it's first apples.  Everest ran to the tree in excitement, but when she was just a few feet away from the it, an apple fell and hit her on the head.  After laying on the ground for a few seconds, Everest saw the apple and took a bite.  It was the best apple she ever tasted!  She felt so happy, that she wanted to greet everyone with joy.  "Oh wow!  Morning Mayor!  Morning squirrels!  Morning strange screaming comet hurdling towards the riv-" Everest stopped as she realized what she was saying. She looked up to see something falling from the sky towards the river. Soon, a loud BOOM was heard causing Everest to jump in fright. "Oh my gosh! I better go check it out!" Everest eventually arrived at the river, panting for air. She looked ahead and noticed a crater in the ground. "Okay, gotta be careful in case of aliens." Everest started walking to the crater and slowly entered it. As she walked through, Everest saw something in the center and approached it. Everest was worried it would be a hideous beast, so she closed her eyes as she got closer. After half a minute, Everest got the courage to take a peek, only to open her eye's wide at what she saw. She couldn't believe it. A pegasus? "Great Yeti's! A real life pegasus!" Everest exclaimed. "The poor thing." She then placed a paw on the filly, and it still had a pulse. "I gotta wake her up." Everest said as she began to bring Cozy closer to the river. As soon as they were close enough, Everest began to splash water onto Cozy's face. After splashing her seven times, Cozy began to groan. "W-Where am I?" Cozy asked herself. She then turned to see Everest. "Thank God you're okay!" Everest said in relief. Cozy just stared before screaming. "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Cozy then hid in a bush. "D-Don't eat me! I taste bad!" "Why would I eat you?" Everest asked with her head tilted to the left. "Because you're a wolf?" "I'm a husky, not a wolf. There's a difference." Everest pointed out. "Oh phew." Cozy said, only to look back in confusion. "Wait a second, are you talking?" "Yes, yes I am." Everest replied with a smile. "I take you're not used to hearing dogs talk?" "No, it's not very common in Equestria." "Equestria?" Everest asked. "Where is that?" Cozy began to look around. "Nowhere near here, that's for sure." She began. "What is this place." "Oh, this is the town of Adventure Bay." Everest answered. "I'm Everest, and I'm an Alaskan Husky. What's your name?" "Cozy Glow." "Well, it's nice to meet you Cozy." Everest said. "That was quite a fall you had. What happened?" "Um, I was brought here after being chased by some guards." Cozy answered hesitantly. "Oh? Why were guards chasing you?" Now Cozy had a choice to make. She knew that telling the truth would be risky, but she also knew that if she lied there would probably be a relapse of her first defeat. Not to mention being alone again. So she decided to nutshell the truth, but not go into too much detail. "I-It's because a long time ago I did something very bad. Something I can't take back." Cozy answered starting to tear up. "After that they put me in a cold prison. I couldn't move and it was scary! I-I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK! IT'S SO DARK AND-" "Hey, it's okay." Everest interrupted. "Don't worry, me and my friends will protect you." "R-Really?" "Sure, It's what we do after all." Everest assured her. "Come on, I'll take you to the lookout." Everest began to lead Cozy to the Tower on a hill. While walking, Cozy decided to ask a few questions. "So, how did you learn to talk?" "Hmmm." Everest thought. "Same way you did I guess. Mama, Dada, treats? You pick it up." "Interesting."
