Sunlight sparkled over Adventure Bay, and Rocky was already revving with excitement. Today’s mission? A beach cleanup organized by Mayor Goodway! “Let’s clean it green!” Rocky barked, loading his recycling truck with bins, tools, and all the eco-energy he had. When the Paw Patrol pups arrived at the beach, they saw the mess. Trash was scattered across the sand—bottles, bags, even a tangled fishing net! Worse yet, tiny sea turtles were struggling to reach the ocean through the litter. “This cleanup’s a big one,” Ryder said. “But we’ve got this! Rocky—you’re recycling chief.

With his grabber claw, he scooped up bottles, sorted plastics, and even turned an old bucket into a flowerpot for the mayor.

They lit it together, their fingers brushing. The flame flickered, then steadied. Like them.
As it rose into the sky, Kai whispered, “I wished I’d see you again.”
Lena looked up, her voice just above a breath. “Me too.”
The lantern floated higher, carrying their wishes, their regrets, and maybe—just maybe—the beginning of something new.
