Noah was a brave boy, but this was a situation he had not anticipated. He looked at Katie, her face puffy with tears, and he knew he needed to be strong - for Ryder, for the Paw Patrol, and now for Katie.

"Katie, you can't let this get to you. We all miss Ryder, but he would want us to be strong and keep going," Noah tried to comfort her.

"But Noah, I can't... I can't face them. Not yet," Katie replied, her voice shaky as she held the photo of Ryder.

Noah looked at the crowd outside the pet parlor. They were becoming restless. He had to act quickly.

"Chase, we need to calm the crowd. Can you help?" Noah called Chase on his walkie-talkie.

"On it, Noah," Chase replied, his voice filled with determination. The crowd was soon under control.

Back inside, Noah tried to console Katie. "We are in this together, Katie. Ryder would not want us to fall apart. He would want us to help each other."

Katie nodded, wiping her tears away. "You're right, Noah. I need to be strong, for Ryder and for everyone."

Noah smiled, happy to see Katie regaining her strength. "That's the spirit, Katie. We can do this."

Noah helped Katie open the pet parlor and started serving the customers. The crowd was pleased and calmed down.

"Thank you, Noah. I don't know what I would do without you," Katie said, her voice filled with gratitude.

"We are a team, Katie. We will always help each other," Noah replied, his heart swelling with pride.

That night, Noah couldn't help but think of Ryder. He missed him, but he knew he had to be strong. For Ryder, for Paw Patrol, for everyone.

The next morning, Noah woke up to another day full of challenges. But he wasn't afraid. He knew he could face anything with his team by his side.

As the new leader of Paw Patrol, Noah knew he had big shoes to fill. But with the support of his friends, he believed he could do it.

Noah was more than just a leader. He was a friend, a comforter, and a beacon of strength. Ryder would have been proud.

"No job is too big, no pup is too small," Noah mumbled to himself. It was Ryder's motto, and now it was his.

Every day was a new adventure for Noah and the Paw Patrol. They faced each challenge with bravery and determination, making Ryder's spirit proud.

Noah would always remember Ryder, but he also knew that he had to move forward. For the Paw Patrol, for Adventure Bay, and for himself.

Life went on in Adventure Bay. And with Noah leading the Paw Patrol, everyone knew they were in safe hands.

Katie's pet parlor was back to normal, and so was the town. Thanks to Noah and the Paw Patrol, everything was under control.

Noah felt a sense of accomplishment. He had managed to keep everything together, just like Ryder would have wanted.

Noah knew that Ryder was watching over them, guiding them. He was gone, but his spirit lived on in the Paw Patrol.

Noah looked at Ryder's picture one last time before going to bed. "Goodnight, Ryder. We miss you," he whispered.

As Noah drifted off to sleep, he knew he had done his best. He was the new leader of Paw Patrol, and he was ready for anything.
