will always be my little puppy'', she said. Kodi cried a little and hugged her for the last time. Aleu turned to Balto,'' you know it may be, that we will never meet again, in this life time, so I wanna say before we part, so much of me is made of what I've learned from you, you'll be with me like a paw-print on my heart'', she recited. Balto then started to cry. Am I sure I wanna do this, if it hurts the people I love, but this wolf pack needs, I will promise Papa we WILL see each other again, she thought to herself. ''I promise Papa we will see each other again, I promise''. The father and daughter hugged for the last time. Aleu then cried. ''Tell mom I finally found my home'', she said and smiled.

Balto and Kodi walked into Nome, while still in tears. Balto went to tell Jenna the news, while Kodi went to tell his other five siblings.

Kodi went to Dingo's house. He scratched the door. Dingo came out the doggy door. ''Hey Dingo'', Kodi said trying to hold back tears. ''Hey whats wrong'', said Dingo, with a concerned look on his face. ''It's about our sister---''Which one, who hurt her, I kill them'', Dingo interupted, while running down the porch. ''Dingo it's Aleu, no one hurt her'', Kodi said. ''Dad and I found her but she stayed and is now a leader of a wolf pack'', said Kodi, he started to cry again. Dingo hugged his little brother. ''It's okay, she's old enough to fend for herself, she is probably enjoying herself right now'', said Dingo. ''You think so?'', said Kodi. ''I know so'', said Dingo as he winked. Kodi went to tell the others, it went through, but not many dry eyes.

Balto walked up to Jenna's porch and scratched her door. Jenna came out her doggy door. ''Oh Balto you're back, I was so worried about you'', she said as she nuzzled him. ''Where's Aleu'', she asked. ''Umm, yeah about that, she finally found her home, she is now a leader of my mother's wolf pack'', he said. ''Well I hope she does well, she was always the wild one'', Jenna said.

Aleu thought to herself. I've heard it said that people come into our lives, for a reason, bringing somwthing we can learn, and we're lead to those who help us most to grow, if we let them, and we help them in return, well I don't know if I believe that's true, but I know I'm who I am today because I knew you, she was referring her thoughts Balto, and Aniu. Balto could hear thoughts. Like a ship blown from it's morring, by a wind off the sea, like a see dropped by a skybird in a distant wood, who can if we been changed for the better, but because I knew you, we have been changed for good', Balto returned his thoughts. Aleu could hear his thoughts, and cried.

''Hey dad, I see a wolf coming towards your boat'', said Kodi. ''Yeah so do I'', said Dingo. The wolf like figure became clearer and Balto couldn't believe his eyes. ''Aleu is that you'', said Balto close to tears. Then Aleu just smiled. ''Hi Papa'', she said with happiness. They both nuzzled. She then saw Dingo. ''Woah, my how you got big, it's nice to see you again'', she said as she and Dingo hugged. Then she saw Kodi and was as happy as can be. ''Hey Kodi, I told you we will see each other again, you're not a puppy anymore are ya'', she said as she huged him. ''No I'm not, but still the youngest'', Kodi said with a smile. ''Which is why I can do this'', said Dingo as he rolled Kodi over and tickled him. ''Hey stop, please, Aleu help.'', said Kodi in bursts of laughter. ''Okay'', she said, and then joined Dingo and tickled Kodi's belly more, she had the happiest family ever, there were no real fights in her family at all.

Aleu went to Jenna's and scratched the front door. Jenna came out the doggy door. She immideatly cried when she saw Aleu. They both hugged. ''You returned why, what about your wolf pack'', she asked. ''Aniu decided to take care of them, she said ' Aleu you really belong at your real home'', Aleu said smiling.

Dingo and Kodi ran up to the top of a mountain. ''I love going up here and always seeing the sunrise, I wonder if mom and dad ever did this'', said Kodi. ''They did, they told me so'', said Dingo. They then heard a loud, growling-like sound. Then all of a sudden a dark silohuette flew over the 2 brothers. Kodi immidiatly went behind Dingo, a little scared. ''Dingo, what is that'', asked Kodi. ''I don't know, but who ever is driving that thing is horrible at it'', said Dingo. ''Kodi'' ''Yes'' ''You can let go of me now'' ''Sorry'' '' What happened to I'm not a puppy anymore, because remeber when we were little you would always cling on to me when you're scared'' ''Hey I can still have my moments'', he said.

Felice, Mina and Saba finally reunited with Aleu, '' Tell me, Aleu how cool was it to lead a wolf pack'', Saba asked with glee. ''It's nothing really, I just only lead them to a land with more water, then our grandmother Aniu lead them'', said Aleu. ''Aniu?'', asked Felice. Oh no, not again, Aleu thought. ''Umm guys, the reason I ran away was because, we're part wolf''. The three sisters just stood still. ''AWESOME'', they all said in unison. Well, that was unexpected,Aleu thought to herself. Then a black silohuette flew over the four sisters. They all screamed. ''Woah what is that thing'', asked Mina. ''It's lookes like some sort of flying machine'', said Aleu. Wasn't expecting that either.

Dingo and Kodi were racing on the beach. ''Wow Kodi you've got pretty fast'', said Dingo still running. Then Kodi by accident ran into a grey dog. ''Oh my gosh I'm so very sorry, I was racing my brother and---''Hey it's okay accidents happen'', the dog said in a rather sweet, gentle voice. Her voice immidiatly caught Kodi's attention, letting Dingo win. Hey what's gotten into him. oh he's talking to a girl, better leave him be, he thought and walked away smiling, my little brother aint little anymore.

''My name is Dusty by the way'', said the grey dog. Kodi just stared. ''Hello, you okay'', she asked. Kodi still just stared wide eyed. ''Forgive me sir''. She lightly hit him in the face. ''Oh sorry mam, my name's Kodi'', he finally said. ''Oh Kodi, that's a cool name'', said Dusty. ''Hey are you new, because I never saw you before'', he asked. ''As a matter of fact, I am, I was just walking to the post office, I hear Nome has a dog mail team'', she said. ''As a matter of fact they do'', said Kodi. ''Do you wanna come with me, we can both try out'', he asked. ''Sure'', said Dusty smiling. Her face, her voice, he fur, her everything, it's perfect, she's perfect, she's like an angel, Kodi thought, Then his tongue fell out, and he started panting. This is love

I wonder where Boris is, I haven't seen him in a while, Balto thought to himself. He walked up to his boat, and saw Boris mopping the deck like usual. ''Hey, Boris'', said Balto. ''Hey, you'll never believe what I just saw, a huge big bird flew over me, it had wings as long as a tree, and made a loud noise!'', he said with excitment. ''Hey it's stopping on the ground right now, I'm going to check it out'', said Balto.

Aleu, Mina, Saba, and Felice met with Dingo and Kodi. ''Yeah we saw it too, it was HUGE and made this loud roaring sound, it was louder than a wild eyed grizzley'', said Dingo. The six siblings went over to the machine and saw a man come out of the machine. He then saw the six dogs. ''Hello, a dog welcoming thing huh'', he said as he pet all of them behind their ears. Hey this guy knows how to scratch good, they all thought praticly in unison. They saw his name tag which read Duke. ''Why don't you guard my plane for a few minutes, I'll be back soon'', he said as he walked away. Huh very cool dogs, he thought to himself.

''So this thing is a plane'', said Dingo as he jumped into the pilots seat. ''Dingo, be careful, what if it suddenly takes off'', said Saba with worry. ''Don't worry'', Dingo said. By accident his tail hit the starting button. Uh oh not good. The plane made a very loud noise. Dingo immidiatley jumped out of the plane. ''Dingo what is wrong with you'', yelled Aleu trying to make a voice over the loud roaring. ''Yeah, I'm a dumb-ass'', said Dingo in disgust.

Duke heard his plane starting, he ran to the plane and turned it off. I guess dogs will be dogs, they do LOVE to explore, he thought to himself. Dingo walked up to Duke and whined a bit. ''It's okay boy, it happenes to me all the time'', Duke said as he pet behind Dingo's ears. I like this human, he is very forgiving.

''Hey Kodi, did you here we both made the sled team!'', Dusty said with glee. ''That's wonderful, when do we start?'', he asked. The musher said the mail run will be tomorrow. Then they saw walk into the post office. Hey that's the pilot we saw earlier, why is he at the post office.

''Gee Duke, you make a good argument, I think we should give it a try, tomorrow'', said the musher. Kodi heard them talking. ''It will be an honor working for the US mail Mr. Conor'', said Duke. What no way he's taking my job, that's it sibling meeting, Kodi thought to himself.

''Listen guys heres the thing Dusty and I---''Kodi and Dusty sitting in a tree L-I-C-K-I-N-G-'', sang Felice and Saba. ''Guy be nice, we should be happy that the youngest one found love first'', said Dingo. ''It's not love, just a very close freindship'', said Kodi. ''Kodi you know it's love, you can tell us, we're your siblings remember'', said Aleu smiling. ''Anyway, remember Duke, well he wants to steal my job, and work for the mail'', said Kodi with anger. ''Kodi did you see how fast that things flies, no wonder they want that plane to work for the mail team'', said Dingo. ''I guess you're right, they're holding a race tomorrow to see who's faster, the plane or the dogs, and I'm lead dog'', Kodi said with glee. All five congradualated him.

 The Next Morning,

Kodi, Dusty and their team were ready for the race.
