my life here.''

''What'd it be?'' Dusty asked.

''I know this town and my family really well.'' Kodi said. ''I remember before we met, how I'd play with my brothers and sisters on the beach. One of them used to howl.''

''Howl?'' Dusty asked. ''Kodi, all of you siblings are like your mom. They don't have any wolf part in themselves.''

''I know.'' Kodi replied. ''But... I remember I had an another sister. She was more like my dad. I wish I could see her again. I'm missing her.''

''Oh, I'm sorry, Kodi.'' Dusty apologized. ''Do you remember her name?''

''Sadly, no.'' Kodi replied. ''She's gone long time ago. The last time I've seen her when I was two-months-old pup before I was adopted.''

''I'm sorry to hear that.'' Dusty said. ''I have a sister and two brothers, but I haven't seen them long time ago either.''

Kodi and Dusty looked in front and saw a vehicle driving in the street from the side, and two red huskies running after them.

''It seems that these are Jenna and Nunivat.'' Dusty asked.

''Come on.'' Kodi said, heading towards his mother and sister. ''I wonder what're they up to.''

As they turned into the next street, they noticed Jenna and Nunivat lying on the ground, panting from the exhaustion.

''Hey, what's with the rush?'' Kodi asked, coming up to them.

''Oh, hi Kodi.'' Nunivat said. ''Mom and I saw this some sort of car and we chased after it.''

''It must've been one fast car.'' Dusty said, as the car was out of the sight.

''It sure was.'' Jenna said.

Then a shot was heard and a flare popped  in the air.

''Dingo and his sled team are almost back.'' Jenna said, getting up.

''Right." Kodi said. "We better get to the finish line."

''Okay.'' Jenna said. ''You three get to the finish line, I'll get the others.''

''Okay, we'll see you later!'' Nunivat said, getting up on her feet and heading with Kodi and Dusty to the finish line.

Jenna headed towards the other direction and turned into an another street. She entered the vet clinic.

''Saba!'' Jenna called Saba. ''Dingo is coming back. You don't want to miss that!''

''Coming, mom!'' Saba said, coming with Josh.

''I'm coming too.'' Josh said. Then they exited the vet clinic.

''Is there anyone to pick up?'' Saba asked.

''Yes.'' Jenna said. ''I'll get Yukon, you two go there. Balto is already with Kodi, Nunivat and Dusty.''

Saba and Josh headed towards the finish line, while headed to find her oldest son. Soon enough, she found him, coming from the other side.

''Hey, Yukon.'' Jenna said. ''Are you going to see your brother?''

''Yes, mom.'' Yukon replied. ''I'll be there in a minute. You go.''

''Good.'' Jenna said, pleased. And headed towards the finish line.

As Jenna made it to the finish line, she noticed most of her family already sitting next to the finish line.

''Looks like Dingo will be here soon.'' Jenna said, getting Balto's attention. Then she sat between Balto and Nunivat.

''Just in time.'' Balto says to Jenna.

Then, a flare popped in the sky again.

''It's a one-mile mark!'' Kodi said.

''I'm here!'' Yukon said, sitting next to Balto.

''Hey Yukon.'' Kodi said. ''You're just in time. Dingo and the others are almost here.''

''Not almost, Kodi.'' Nunivat said. ''They ARE here!''

They all looked at the right and noticed two teams heading to the finish line. One of the teams was obviously Dingo's.

''Come on, Dingo!'' Kodi shouted. Just then, Dingo's team sped up and passed the finish line first, leaving the opponent team one meter behind. Then, every dog from the both teams collapsed on the floor.

''Now he can join the finalists with us!'' Kodi said.

''Come on, let's go see him.'' Balto said, as he, Kodi and Dusty went to him first.

''Hey, Dingo.'' Balto said as he, Kodi, and Dusty walked up to him.

''Hey Dad.'' Dingo said as they were walking down the street.

''Nice going.'' Kodi said. ''Now you can join my team in the finalists.''

''Well, I've made it thanks to Dana.'' Dingo said, as Dana chuckled slightly.

They reached the General Store, where Dingo's musher opened the door and called both Dingo and Dana inside.

While Balto, Kodi and Dusty waited for them outside, the others came.

''So?'' Saba asked.

''He's in.'' Balto said.

''That's good to hear!'' Nunivat said.

Then, Dingo and Dana exited the store. Dana was wearing a dark blue collar instead of black.

''Hey, Dingo." Saba said. "Heard you made it.''

''Yeah, it's great.'' Dingo said. ''Now Kodi and I will be racing against each other. I am doing it just for fun, I don't care for the triumph.''

''We know.'' Yukon said.

''Hey, Dana.'' Nunivat said. ''You got a really nice collar.''

''Thanks, Nunivat.'' Dana said. ''It looks better than the black one.''

Then, a car passed by, the same one Jenna and Nunivat had seen before.

''Hey Mom, doesn't that car look familiar?'' Nunivat asked Jenna.

''Yes, it's the car we saw before.'' Jenna said.

''I'll be back.'' Nunivat said, running after the car.

''Hey! Wait up!'' Kodi yelled as he and the others except for Balto and Yukon chased after her.

''It looks like there's no end to running.'' Yukon said.

''I agree.'' Balto said.

Then, Yukon saw a silver husky down the road. He smiled in joy.

''Excuse me, Dad.'' Yukon said, heading to the husky.

''Sure.'' Balto said.

As Balto noticed Yukon with the silver husky, and with the another one, the dark gray one, Balto began feeling good. Really, really good. It was as good as he had brought the medicine four years ago.

Balto headed towards Yukon, who was talking to his friends.

''Hey, dad.'' Yukon said. ''These are my friends who I had met long ago. Dad, these are Yin and Yang. Yin, Yang, this is my father Balto.''

''Hi.'' A dark gray husky, Yang, said.

''Hello, sir.'' A silver husky, Yin, said.

''Hello.'' Balto replied. Yukon was right, they had had an unique faces. Both of their left sides of the face were white, while the right sides were black.

''So.'' Balto said. ''Let's go find the others.''

''Okay.'' Yukon and his friends said, heading off towards Yukon's family.

Soon enough, they found them near the car they had chased. Balto noticed Nunivat cuddled near the golden husky. It was her pup-hood friend, Thunderbolt.

''Well, I see you two remember each other.'' Balto said as he, Yukon, Yin, and Yang walked up to the group.

''We sure do.'' Nunivat said. ''I even remember when Thunderbolt and I first met.''

Nunivat began: ''I was walking outside of my mom's house. Suddenly, the rain began and I began walking to the house. But I heard thunder, and got scared! I wasn't looking where I was running...
...I ran into the shed and bumped into Thunderbolt...''

''...and I was hiding from the storm.'' Thunderbolt said. ''I knew how you felt. I helped you to not be afraid...''

''...I know, I felt safer with you there.'' Nunivat continued. ''You decided to bring me to the house, but when wh left the shed, a thunder was heard, scaring me! I wasn't watching where I was running, so I tripped on the porch and hurt myself...

...but you helped me in. When we got into the house, my mom let you sleep over in the house due to storm out there.''

''It was sad that you had to go, but it's great to see you're back.'' Nunivat said, nuzzling Thunderbolt.

''Well, I can see that you two are busy, so we'll be going now.'' Jenna said.

''Okay, see you later.'' Nunivat said as the others walked off.

''You know, it sure is great for Nunivat to be reunited with her pup-hood friend.'' Kodi said.

''I know, reminds me of when we first met.'' Dusty said.

''Yeah.'' Kodi said. ''Dad took me and my brothers for a walk. I got lost into the alley, but we found each other in the alley...

''...and our looks...'' Dusty said. ''...that was unbelievable. We went  to the street to run onto the street. But during the run, I slipped and hurt myself...''

''...then I came and helped you...'' Kodi said. ''I carried you home. We greeted each other and I ran to my dad. Just few days later, I was adopted by your owner.''

''Ah, those were the days.'' Dusty
