Balto just nodded. Kodi replied with more grace. " my dad is the fastest dog in Nome - he can pull you easy todd" kodi said almost jumping out of his skin at the thought of his father racing

Todd grinned."cool! What about you, Kodi? Are you super fast, too? And strong? Are you as strong as my dad? Are you brave like him? I bet you are.you're alot like him.maybe that's why-" he was cut off by Gemini's voice."that's enough, son.we don't ask too many questions, or you might embarrass someone." She said.Todd nodded."right.sorry, I forgot."

Kodi looked at his dad puzzled, all balto could do was laugh a bit. he would talk to kodi about that later, now it was time to go. Once Todd was on the make shift sled balto took off heading towards home, with kodi running by his side

Gemini got a thrill from running with a group again.pack was irreplaceable, but these friends came very, very close.meanwhile, Todd yipped happily as the sled moved, loving the feel of the wind in his fur.

Diva made sure to keep an eye on Todd as the sled bounced along. She didn't want him to fall off and get hurt.

Balto and kodi moved a long with speed and a great pace. Kodi watching for the group of badgers ( is there going to be another fight?)

(meh... doesn't have to be... the badger idea was just to add drama.)

(( okay so now we are racing home to Nome and start a new ) After balto knew that everything was clam. He start to slow to a jogging pace. he was happy he was going to be able to see jenna once more

Gemini followed at an easy pace, her bad leg still a dull ache, but at least manageable.the ache would never fade completely, but it would never hold her back again, either.this fact, along with being reunited with her son, made her happy for the first time in a long time.

Todd finally got tired, and once the makeshift sled slowed down, he settled in close to Diva and fell asleep.

Diva wrapped herself around the pup to keep him from sliding or falling off from the make shift sled. At this pace they'd be back to the boat house in no time.

Muc and Luc decided they'd stay in the woods for the time being, after all it was the middle of winter. They had already put off quite a bit of their hibernation season, it was high time they caught up on it.

While Balto and the others where gone on their expadition, Jenna had kept her mind busy by taking up a job as a vermine catcher. She didn't kill or eat any of the mice, rats or birds she chaced off, but it made time pass quicker as she waited for her son and mate to return.
