dogs started hurting themselves on the purpose.''
Both Josh and Saba laughed at that one while proceeding towards her parents.
As they entered the house, they noticed Balto and Jenna resting inside and talking about Aleu.
''Hi, mom. Hi, dad.'' Saba greeted her parents.
''Hello, Saba.'' Balto said. ''How're you two doing?''
''So far so good.'' Josh said. ''But the other dogs won't stop praising us.''
''Well, you supported Dusty and Aleu while they were injured.'' Jenna said.
''And I see that was great work from you two.'' Balto said.
''Aw, please.'' Saba chuckled. ''Just don't be like the others.''
''Okay.'' Balto replied, chuckling.
''How's Aleu doing?'' Josh asked.
''She's doing great.'' Jenna said. ''She's very grateful for the bandana.''
''And we see how much Kenai loves her.'' Saba said. ''Indeed he's a great friend.''
Balto nodded as Saba appreciated Kenai. After all, he was very nice and noble in the family.
''Balto.'' Josh said. ''Can I talk with you for a moment?''
''Hmm, yeah, sure.'' Balto said. ''Excuse us, please.''
''Okay.'' Saba said as Josh and Balto headed in the kitchen.
''What do you want, Josh?'' Balto asked.
''There's something I want to tell you.'' Josh said. ''But I'm not sure how'd you react.''
''Go ahead. I'm listening.'' Balto said.
''Balto, I...'' Josh said, but stopped. Then he gained courage to speak again. ''I want to gain Saba's heart.'' He blushed after saying that.
''Really?'' Balto asked, as he noticed that he might have another son-in-law. ''If you want to, then do it.''
''You really think so?'' Josh asked.
''Yes.'' Balto said. ''You two live together and help the others after all.''
''Thanks.'' Josh said. ''And ever since Aleu and Dusty were recovering, Saba and I somewhat grew closer to each other while helping them.''
''That's great.'' Balto said.
''Yes, I know.'' Josh said. ''But speaking of the romantic night, I'm not sure what should I give her or show her.''
''I know what you can do for her.'' Balto said. ''It reminds me on my romantic night with Jenna.''
''What was it?'' Josh asked.
''The Northern Lights.'' Balto answered.
''Really?'' Josh said. ''But is there any way to summon the Lights?''
''There is.'' Balto said. ''You just need to put the shards of the glass on the top of the hill and put the lantern below the Lights...
...as soon as the light shines through them, Saba will be amazed by the Lights.''
''Wonderful!'' Josh exclaimed.
''Yes.'' Balto said. ''But I suggest you to wait until you two hear the song of the Lights. After you hear it, touch the Lights and let the spirit come down to you...
...as soon as she sees the spirit and when it ascends into the sky, ask her.''
''I will.'' Josh said, carefully listening to everything that Balto said. ''Balto, thank you for the advice.''
''Anytime, Josh.'' Balto said. Then they headed back to the living room.
''Well, we better go back to the clinic.'' Saba said. ''There might be some patients.''
''I agree.'' Josh said. ''Well, see you later!''
''Later.'' Balto and Jenna said as they were leaving. But before they left, Josh winked back to Balto. Jenna noticed that.
''I suppose you told him something very useful, didn't you, Balto?'' Jenna chuckled.
''I did.'' Balto said. ''I gave him an advice for the romantic night.''
Jenna chuckled slightly as Balto said that. Saba was going to be the next one, and the first one who wouldn't get injured to have her love gained.
Just then, Dingo and Dana came by.
''Hey, mom. Hey, dad.'' Dingo greeted them.
''Hey, Dingo.'' Balto said. ''How's going?''
''Not bad.'' Dingo said.
''Well, Nikki, Kaltag and Star want Dingo to join them in patrolling after busting some of the dogs recently.'' Dana said.
''Yeah.'' Balto said. ''Reminds me on Saba and Josh. The others don't stop bothering them after supporting Aleu and Dusty.''
''Dad, can I talk with you for a moment?'' Dingo asked.
Balto recognized his tone. It was the same tone Josh had used before when he had asked for an advice. As they headed to kitchen again, Balto smiled that he's going to have another daughter-in-law.
''Well, what do you want to tell me?'' Balto asked.
''Well, since Dana and I worked on the Dusty's case.'' Dingo said. ''And when she noticed my care for Aleu, we grew closer.''
''Oh, really?'' Balto asked.
''Yes.'' Dingo confirmed. ''And I think that I should take Dana on a romantic night later.''
''If you're going to do so...'' Balto said. ''Then I wish you luck.''
''Thanks, dad.'' Dingo said. ''I'm thinking about taking her onto the beach or onto the cliffs to watch the sunset.''
''I'm sure she's going to enjoy it.'' Balto said. ''Well, this is going to be double night.''
''A double night?'' Dingo asked. ''Someone else came and told you that he or she is going on a romantic night?''
''That's right.'' Balto answered. ''Saba and Josh came here before and Josh asked me for an advice. I told him about Aurora Borealis.''
''Wow, that's going to be an amazing night.'' Dingo said as Balto nodded.
Both father and son returned to the living room.
''Well, we just came by to see how's going.'' Dingo said. ''We'll see you later!''
''Later.'' Balto and Jenna said as Dingo and Dana left.
''Let me guess, Balto.'' Jenna said, with the same tone she used when Balto told her about Saba and Josh's night. ''They're also going to the romantic night.''
''That's right, Jenna.'' Balto said. Jenna chuckled again.
Later...
''Dingo!'' Dana shouted as she was chasing after Dingo, who was leading her outside of Nome. ''Wait for me! Where are you going?!''
''Come on, Dana!'' Dingo shouted back. ''I don't want you to miss this!''
''To miss what?!'' Dana shouted. ''And why're we outside of the town?''
After passing through the beach, Dingo began climbing up the cliff. Dana frowned as Dingo was fooling around with her.
''Dingo, when I finally get you...!'' Dana shouted, getting some air as she was having hard time climbing up the cliff unlike Dingo. ''You'll tell me what's going on!''
''No problem!'' Dingo shouted back as he was on the top of the cliff. ''I'm waiting you here!''
Dana finally climbed up the cliff as she found herself on the flat, smooth rocks.
''Now tell me what were you thinking, Dingo.'' Dana said.
''If you say so.'' Dingo said as he reached the edge of the cliff and sat down, watching to the west.
''What the...?'' Dana asked, confused as she saw Dingo sitting on the edge and watching in the distance.
''Well, Dana.'' Dingo said. ''I wanted to show you something special.''
He pointed with his paw to the west and said: ''Isn't it beautiful?''
Dana looked towards where Dingo pointed and saw something beautiful: the sunset. The colors itself looked like the most beautiful miracle in the world.
''Oh, that's why we were running.'' Dana said, totally astonished by the sunset. ''You're right, Dingo. It's beautiful!''
''It sure is.'' Dingo said. ''This day was the best opportunity to use.''
''And what's the opportunity?'' Dana said while her tone turned romantically.
''Dana...'' Dingo said. ''Have you ever thought of having pups?''
''For some time, I have.'' Dana said. ''And since you're asking, I'd love to have some.''
''Really?'' Dingo asked. ''That's nice, Dana.''
''Anytime.'' Dana said. ''Let's watch the sunset for some more.''
The two friends stared at the sunset until the sun went out of the horizon.
Meanwhile, somewhere else, later...
''Josh, where're we going?'' Saba asked, as Josh told her to follow her outside as the night had fallen. ''Isn't it a little bit late?''
''It never is, Saba.'' Josh said while carrying a lantern in his mouth towards the hills above Nome.
He put the lantern on a
