Two pups were running on the beach they were racing. ''Come on Kodi, see if you catch me'', yelled Dingo after his little brother. ''I'm gonna get you'', said Kodi playfully growling. Dingo slowed down to let Kodi catch up. Kodi finally caught

up to Dingo, and pinned him down. ''Haha, got you big bro'', said Kodi laughing. ''Yes you did'', said Dingo smiling. Balto came to see his two sons playing. ''Are we playing nice, guys'', asked Balto. ''You bet dad, you know we would

never fight'', said Dingo as he pulled Kodi to hug him.

Out of Flashback

Dingo and Kodi were racing on the beach, ''Wow Kodi, you've gotten pretty fast'', said Dingo. Then Kodi accidentley ran into something. He finally realized he ran into another dog. ''Oh my gosh I'm so very sorry, I was racing my brother-

''Hey it's okay, accidents happen'', the dog responded in a rather sweet, and gentle way, Her voice caught Kodi's attention letting Dingo win. Hey, what's gotten into him, he thought to himself. He then saw Kodi talking to the other

dog. ''Oh, he's talking to a girl, better leave him be, huh my little bro is finally becoming a fine grown dog'', Dingo thought to himself smiling.

''Oh my name's Dusty by the way'', said the dog. Kodi found himself staring into her beautiful icey blue eyes. ''Um sir you okay'', she asked. Kodi was still starring into her eyes. Is he okay?, Dusty thought to herself. ''Uhh, forgive me sir, why are you starring at me'', she asked a little uncomfertable

''Oh sorry mam, it's just I've never seen a dog with such beautiful eyes, besides my mother'', Kodi finally said. Dusty blushed. ''Oh well thank you'', she said smiling. ''Hey, I'm sort of lost, do you know if this place has a post office'', she asked

''Yes, Nome has a post office, why do you want to go there'', Kodi asked. ''Well, I've heard that this place had a dog mail team, my owner and brother think I'm strong and fast enough to join'', she said. ''Really because my father and brother think the same thing'', said Kodi.

''Hey do you wanna come with me, we can both try out together'', she said rather flirtingly. ''Yes, I'd love to'', said Kodi. And they were off.

Kodi was running happily, and rather dancing on all four paws happily. Wow I can't I believe it, I made LEAD dog, and best of all, Dusty is on the team, this is like the best day of my life, Kodi thought to himself happily.

Kodi met up with Dingo at the beach by Balto's boat. Aleu was there too. ''Hey Aleu, Dingo'', he said. ''Woah Kodi, you're all out of breathe, why don't you sit down'', said Aleu smiling. He sat down next to Dingo and Aleu. ''What are you so happy about, not that I love seeing you happy'', asked Dingo. ''I made the mail team, and I'm lead dog, and  Dusty is on the team too'', said Kodi happily.

''Who's Dusty'', asked Aleu. ''Kodi's girlfreind'', said Dingo teasingly. Kodi blushed. ''She's not my girlfreind, she's just a very close and good freind and team mate'', said Kodi. ''Kodi, I've seen you talking to her, I read your thoughts, admit it your in love'', said Aleu. ''I'm not in love guys'', said Kodi. Dingo and Aleu looked at each other and smiled. Dingo playfuly rolled Kodi over, he held Kodi down and to Kodi's dis-advantage Aleu tickled his most ticklish spot ever. Kodi exploded into uncontrollable laughter and squirmed like crazy, it was hard for Dingo to keep him still. ''Tell me your in love and I'll stop'', said Aleu. ''Never'', said Kodi laughing. Until he realized he was close to crying. he finally let out, ''Okay haha okay haha I haha am haha in haha love haha'', he said. Aleu finally stopped and Dingo let go of him. ''Don't try to fool us Kodi, you know what will happen'', said Dingo.

''Anyways, how do I tell her that I love her'', he asked. ''Aleu what do girls like'', he asked. ''Well, all I can say is that even though I don't have a mate yet, I can say that I would want one that is honest, can listen good, and can just be a fun loving guy'', she said winking. '' Not while I'm around Aleu, I'm choosing the mates here for you, and our other sisters'', said Dingo seriously. ''Listen Dingo, just because you're the oldest, doesn't you can control our lives, I appreciate you feeling protective of us, but please we're aloud to choose our own mates'', she said nuzzling him. ''I know I'm sorry, it's just my little sisters and brother are not little anymore, they've grown into fine mature dogs. It's just I think it's every big brothers job to have that fatherly feeling over his little siblings'', he said while hugging Kodi and Aleu. ''Don't worry Dingo, we'll always be your little brother and sisters always'', said Kodi hugging him.

Okay I'll tell her today, but how, but whatever you do don't lie, and just be yourself, Kodi thought to himself.

He met with Dusty at the beach by sunset. Once they met and sat down, ''I have to tell you something'', they both said in unsion. ''I love you'', they said in unison. ''You do'', asked Kodi. Dusty answered his question by licking his cheek. ''I'll take that as a yes'', he said and returned the kiss. I can't wait to tell everyone this, thought Kodi. ''So, do you wanna be my mate'', Kodi asked. ''Only if you'll be mine'', said Dusty. They then both kissed.

After Dusty left, Kodi went to Balto's boat. ''Hey Kodi, what's up'', Balto asked. ''I told Dusty that I love her'', he said as happy as ever. ''So how did it go'', Balto asked. ''Let's just say she gave a good, wet, kiss on the cheek for her opinion'', said Kodi. ''Look you can still see the tongue mark'', said Kodi. ''We'll congradulations son, are you two mates yet'', asked Balto. ''I would have to say yes'', said Kodi.

''See what did I tell ya, if you're just honest with yourself, you will have the girl's heart'', said Aleu winking. ''But we both said in unison to each other once we met at the beach 'I love you', said Kodi. ''It doesn't matter how you both said it, are you and Dusty happy with each other'', Aleu asked. ''Yes, of course'', said Kodi. ''Then I'm happy'', said Aleu. Aleu was about to lick the cheek Dusty did, to say congradulations, before she got any closer, ''No wait not that cheek'', said Kodi in a panic. ''Why, whats wrong with it'', asked Aleu confused. ''This is the cheek that Dusty kissed me on'', said Kodi. Aleu in return just licked his other cheek. ''Thanks, sis'', said Kodi hugging her.

Kodi went to Dingo's house. He went to the second floor, and scratched his window. ''Kodi, what are you doing here'', asked Dingo yawning. He came out the window. ''You better have woken me up for a good reason, or else'', said Dingo. ''Don't worry, it's a good reason for sure'', said Kodi. ''We'll, start talking I wanna go to sleep'', said Dingo. ''DUSTY AND I ARE MATES'', Kodi said rather loudly. Dingo immidiatley covered Kodi's mouth so no one could hear him. Dingo took Kodi to the backyard. ''I'm very happy for you,  how did you do it'', asked Dingo. ''Well we both met at the beach, and we both said I love you in unison, and it just happened'', said Kodi. ''Well, congradulations, now you'd better get home, before sunrise'', said Dingo. ''Okay, bye bro'', said Kodi.

Today, Kodi and Dusty had a mail run, ''Hey Kodi'', said Dusty as she nuzzled him. ''Hello Dusty'', Kodi said as he returned the nuzzle. ''So how are things going'', asked Dusty. ''Everything is just great, and whats great about it is that we have eachother'', Kodi said as he kissed. The musher yelled mush and they started running.

Later that night, Dusty stayed at Kodi's house, ''Are you sure Kodi'', asked Dusty. ''Yes I'm sure, we both agreed we wanted to start a family,'' he said. They then started to kiss. ''I love you Dusty'', ''I love you Kodi'', and they started.

The next morning, Kodi and Dusty were laying together, Dusty was laying on Kodi's chest, Kodi was already awake, he didn't move, he didn't want to wake up Dusty. If we ever have a family, I want one just like the one with all my siblings, no fights, just playing around, older siblings being protective, Kodi thought to himself smiling. Dusty finally awakened. ''Good morning sleepy beauty'', he said licking her forehead. ''Good morning, Kodi'', she returned the lick. ''Huh, I feel sort of strange'', said Dusty. ''What do you feel'', asked Kodi. ''I feel like dizzy, and very very hungry'', she said as she got up and went to food bowl and ate, but begged her human for more food.''Kodi, you'd better get home before your human gets worried'', said Dusty. ''Good call, bye Dusty love you'', said Kodi as he left. ''Love you too'', she yelled after him.

Aleu and Dingo were at the beach talking, '' How do you think Kodi's doing'', asked Aleu. ''I'm sure he's doing fine, I'm just glad he's happy because he has Dusty'', said Dingo. ''Hey guys'', said Kodi. ''Oh, hey Kodi'', said Dingo. ''Dingo Im sort of scared'', said Kodi. ''What's wrong buddy'', asked Dingo. ''Well Dusty has been acting weird lately, she's been eating alot, she is very dizzy, and she's fainting every second'', said Kodi. ''I got this Dingo'', said Aleu. ''Kodi, you're going to be a father'', said Aleu. ''You said what now'', said Kodi. ''Mom told me when she was carrying us, she felt the same way as Dusty, congradulations'', said Aleu as nuzzled Kodi

The Next Day

Dusty went to Kodi. ''Dusty, I think I know why you've acting weird lately'', said Kodi. ''I think I know too'', said Dusty. ''Kodi, we're going to be parents, my human took me to the vet, and we're expecting 5 puppies YAY'', she said as she jumped on Kodi and hugged him.

Kodi went to Jenna's house to tell her the news. ''Hi mom'', Kodi said as he nuzzled her. ''Hey Kodi, what's up'', asked Jenna. ''I have great news to tell you'', said Jenna. ''Let me guess, you finally beat Dingo in a tickle-fight'', she said. ''No'', said Kodi. ''Me and Dusty, are..... Mom be prepared to be called grandma soon'', said Kodi happily. Jenna realized what Kodi meant, and squealed.
