realy mean it when you said you loved me?" Loki smiled at her, he looked her deep in the eyes.

" Yes, more than anything. Why?." It was now Angels turn to smile.

" Because i also ment what i said. Loki even though i'v only known you for one day, and we have barley had much of a chance to get to know each other. I too love you. I cant explain it." Loki Nodded.

" Well life is misteriouse, it acts and tells us many things in many differant ways. This is life telling us that this is right. I love you Angel." Angel layed down and cuddled into Loki.

" I love you Loki." Loki was about to return the hug when he heard a noise coming from out side.

" I wonder who that is?" Loki climbed out of the bed and walked over to the window. walking towards the cabin was Irain, Trace and... " Balto?" 'Wonder why he's here?' Loki walked into the middle of the room and waited for them to walk in.

" Well Congradulations you two, I'm happy for you." Loki heard Balto say. 'For what?'

" Thank you Balto." Loki Shook his head. ' What the heck is he........ OH!' Loki Smiled, his smile spread from cheek to cheek. ' The old guys having kids? God i hope they don't cause a heart attack on the poor guy.' At that time Trace walked in the house followed by Irain then followed by Balto. Loki just stood there. Smiling...

" Hey Loki." Trace said. Loki continued to smile .

" Hey. I heard Balto say congradulations, is it.... are you?" Loki was very happy for them he couldn't quite get the words out.

" Am i what.... OH Pregnant?" Trace asked.

" Yeah." Irain smiled at him and nodded. " Oh my god congradulations!"

" Thank you Loki." Trace said.

" Loki is there some one else here with you? There's an odd scent i'v never smelt before." Loki nodded.

" Yeah there is. Irain please promise me you wont Freak please?"

" Freak about what?" Loki lead them to His bed. there on it lay a beautiful young female.

" Hello." Angel said

" Loki... did you find yourself a girl?" Loki smiled.

" Yeah but thats not the part your going to freak about." Loki said. Balto looked at Loki

" He thinks that you going to freak because she's not a dog. She's a wolf." Irain's smile vanished.

" Loki? She's a wolf?"

" Look Rain she was in trouble and i had to help her. I saved her from a bear trap then a dog tried to kill her and i had to save her. Then her Alpha hurt her so i fought him."

" Loki you know humans don't like wolves. Joseph would kill her on first sight. It's too dangerouse keeping her here." Balto interupted him.

" Loki if you would like, you and her can use my old boat for a while. I'm staying with Jenna so i don't exactly use it. If you would like, it's there for ya." Loki smiled and nodded.

" Thank you Balto." Trace stood there, not even saying a word. Just staring at the wolf. Angel stood up as best she could with her broken leg.

" Thank you sir." She bowed her head.

" No need to do that miss. your among dogs, not wolves." Balto said. Angel raised her head and smiled. Then she looked at Loki.

" If it no problem with you Loki i would like to check out this Home of the legend himself. The great Balto." She said smiling.

" No, not a legend not even a hero. just a dog doing what was necesary to help those little kids who had their whole lives ahead of them. Any one would have done it in my place." Balto said.

" Ok lets go Angel." Balto stopped them.

" Loki, Boris a Russian snow goose still lives there. tell him that i sent you and that you are in need of a home for a while. He will be more than happy to comply."

" Thank you Balto, i owe you one." With that Loki and Angel walked out the door. well Loki did any way, Angel sort of limped out.

Irain looked at trace then at Balto.

" They grow up pretty darn quick hey?" Irain said. Balto smiled

" yes they do, it seens only yesterday Kodi, Alue and the others where born..

Loki and Angel walked up the Gangplank of the Boat, it was clean very clean. 'Abnormaly clean for an old boat. Well Balto did say the goose enjoys cleaning it.' They reached the top of the ramp then looked around.

" Who are you and what do you want?" came a Russian accent. Loki looked to his right to see a goose standing with a mop and a bucket, as if he was preparing to knock them clean out.

" Boris, it's me Loki remember? Kodi's friend. I was here on christmas last year." Boris lowerd his wepons and smiled.

" Ahhh Loki, You come to see Me?" Loki shook his head.

" Boris, Balto told me to come speek to you about letting Angel..." Loki looked over at Angel and Smiled. She nodded. " Angel here and myself stay on this ship for a little while. He said that if we told you we were in need you might be able to help us." Boris smiled. then laughed.

" Ahh very well, you may stay. But i warn you, if Muk and Luk Know your here say good bye to late morning sleep ins." Loki looked at Angel and smiled

" Boris? can you show us where we can sleep? Preferably some where warm." Boris nodded his head

" Yes come come, this way." Boris lead them down into the deeper part of the ship, it was warmer than outside on the deck thats for sure. It was rommy and it had the basic necessaties for a basic home. A few boxes, a few soft cussions and some blankets.

" Well this is now your room, Balto use to use this as his little Place to relax. You know get away from every thing place. Well that all changed since Jenna and he had pups. Now he does not get the time to come and just relax. he's always busy doing somthing now days. I'm proud of that kid. Look at what he became, now every one loves him. Well i guess i should let you two get settled in. cyas soon." Loki nodded.

" Will do Boris." Loki turned and faced Angel. " well what do you think? I mean it's differant from where you're use to, but what do you think for a place for the time being?" Angel walked over to him and hugged him.

" It's perfect, i think i could get use to it pretty quick." She nuzzled him. " I love you Loki." Loki nuzzled her back.

" I love you too."

" Uncle Boris!" The Russian snow goose turned around to see two bears running full sprint at him.

" No no no no no no NO! Leave me alone!" Boris Ran and ran and ran around the Boat trying to get away from the Bears. But it did him little good. " Why me? who do you always attack me?" The bears peard straight into his eyes and smiled.

" Because we love you Uncle Boris." Muk said. Luk chirped a few times in agreement. " You love us don't you Uncle Boris?" Boris tried his hardest to get away from the bears but Luk picked him up and gave him a huge bear hug. Boris gave in then.

" Yes yes, but only when you are not making me into Featherless goose. Now let me go!" Luk groand then chirped somthing that Boris could not understand. " What di he say?"

" Luk says, all we want is to have a little fun with you Uncle Boris. Please come play with us?" Boris shook his head.

" I can not, i have thing i need to do." Luk again chirped somthing then Muk Nodded and laughed. out of the blue Boris was on the ground under the two bears screaming for them to let him go.

" Well i better get going, Jenna would be wondering where i am by now. Thanks for having me around." Balto said as he walked towards the door.

" No problem, thanks for coming. I guess we'll see you around then?" Irain said.

" Yeah, hopefuly it will not be soo long next time." Balto said smiling

" Any time you want just drop on by. We don't mind." Irain said. Balto nodded and continued to smile.

" Well, cyas."

" Cya buddy." Balto walked out the door and into the cold air. 'Oooh it cooled down since i came here.' Balto started to walk into town when he heard somthing in the trees to his Left. He stopped walking and stared at the tree. It was now night time and it was harder to see due to the darkness. Balto walked towards the trees, he stared at the spot not taking his eye off of it. He got closer and closer, then suddenly somthing jumped out at him. Standing on top of him stood a Black wolf. staring deep into his eyes The wolf growled at him as Balto store back at him.
