Nome.''

''Thanks, sir.'' One of the guests greeted back.

However, as Josh her the guest saying it, he recognized the accent. It was Anchorage accent, the same one Josh'd constantly use.

''That was Anchorage accent!'' Josh whispered to himself. The curiousity got the best out of him so he climbed on the window.

He saw a bunch of people wandering around the hotel. Judging by the baggage they were holding, they were definitely not from Nome!

But then, Josh saw few red huskies, each of them following their owners. Two of them followed the same owner.

''It's a miracle!'' Josh whispered and rushed back to the vet clinic.

''Saba! SABA!'' Josh yelled in happiness, immediately waking her up. ''IT'S A MIRACLE!''

''What? What's going on?'' Saba asked, noticing Josh's happiness.

''Get Alaska and Dakotah!'' Josh said. ''And meet me in front of the hotel!''

Saba was a bit confused by all of this, but nonetheless, he came out of her basket while Josh sprinted back to the hotel.

Later...

Josh was looking at the window above and wagging with his tail. Soon enough, Saba came among with Alaska and Dakotah.

''What is it, dad?'' Alaska asked.

''You have to see this!'' Josh said. ''There're some guys I'd like you to meet!''

''And who are they?'' Dakotah asked.

''Just wait for it.'' Josh said, climbing on the window. But when he looked around, his happy face turned into disappointment.

''Josh, what's going on?'' Saba asked, thinking that Josh was pulling pranks.

''Where... Where are they?'' Josh asked, disappointedly.

But then, just then, Josh was pounced by a green-eyed red female husky, thus startling Saba and their pups.

''Dad!'' Alaska and Dakotah yelled in fright, but Josh on the other hand, opened eyes and smiled sarcastically upon seeing the red husky.

''Did we miss you, Josh?'' The red husky asked.

''Hey, Alice.'' Josh greeted the red husky while getting up. ''You sure surprised me this time.''

''I know.'' Alice giggled. ''It's wonderful to see you, my brother!''

''Same!'' Josh asked.

''Wait, you're Josh's sister?'' Saba asked, confused because of everything.

''That's right.'' Alice said. ''My name is Alice. And what's your name?''

''I'm Saba, Josh's mate.'' Saba said.

Alice looked at her brother in surprise and then she smiled. She said: ''Wow, you two sure suit to each other.''

''Thanks.'' Saba said.

''Alice.'' Josh said. ''I forgot to introduce you someone. These two are our pups, Alaska and Dakotah. Alaska, Dakotah, this is your aunt Alice.''

''Nice to meet you, aunt Alice.'' Alaska and Dakotah said.

''Wow.'' Alice said, astonished. ''You sure have beatiful pups.''

''Thanks.'' Josh said. ''Are you alone?''

''Of course she's not.'' Another red female husky giggled. She had blue eyes and wore a blue collar with a golden tag. ''I suppose you remember me too, Josh.''

''I sure do, Abby.'' Josh smiled. ''Saba, this is my other sister, Abby. Abby, meet my mate, Saba.''

''Nice to meet you.'' Saba said.

''Same.'' Abby said, then she noticed Dakotah and Alaska. ''Josh, are these yours?''

''They sure are.'' Josh said proudly. ''Abby, meet your nephew and niece, Dakotah and Alaska.''

''They're beautiful.'' Abby said, astonished by the pups.

''Josh, come with us.'' Alice said. ''Mom and dad are in hotel!''

''Alright!'' Josh yelled. ''Saba, Alaska, Dakotah, come with me!''

They nodded as they followed Josh's sisters in the hotel. The humans didn't mind about more dogs in a hotel. Then, they entered the second room at the left.

''Mom! Dad!'' Alice yelled. ''Look who's here!''

An older red female husky with blue eyes turned around and smiled widely upon seeing her son after a while.

''Josh!'' A female husky said, nuzzling her youngest pup and the only son. ''My dear Josh! I missed you so much!''

''I missed you too, mom.'' Josh replied. ''Mom, where's dad?''

''Josh?'' Is that really you?'' An older male green-eyed red husky said, surprised  to see his only son.

''Dad...'' Josh said, but was out of words.

''I'm glad to see you again!'' The husky laughed. ''Tell me, how's here in Nome?''

''It's great, dad!'' Josh said. ''And how's in Anchorage?''

''Not bad.'' Josh's father said. ''But not the best either.''

''Oh.'' Josh said. ''Mom, dad, meet my love, Saba.''

''Ohhh, you found a girl!'' His father smiled. ''Nice to meet you, young lady, the name's Buck.''

''And I'm Kara.'' Josh's mother said. ''You two are in love, aren't you?''

''Officialy.'' Saba said. ''And we got our own family. Alaska, Dakotah?''

Dakotah and Alaska made it to their paternal grandparents. Both Buck and Kara were impressed by their grandpups.

''They're beautiful.'' Kara said.

''Alaska, Dakotah.'' Josh said. ''Meet your other grandparents.''

''Cool.'' Dakotah said. ''Another grandma and grandpa!''

''Yeah.'' Buck said. Then he asked Saba ''Tell me, young lady, what's with your parents?''

''My parents?'' Saba asked. ''Well, they're somewhere in the town.''

''It is true?'' Kara asked. ''That your father is Balto, the outcast hero?''

''Sure!'' Saba said, proudly. ''If you want to see them, follow me!''

Josh's parents and sister followed Saba, Josh and their pups through the town. They were ready to see the hero, and also, their old friend.

''There's grandpa!'' Alaska said, noticing Balto in the distance. ''Grandpa Balto!!''

Balto heard her granddaughter in a distance and headed towards her, anticipating the unexpected.

''Yeah, Alaska?'' Balto asked, once he got there. ''What is it?''

''Hey, dad.'' Saba said. ''Josh wants you to meet someone.''

''Hey.'' Buck said, getting Balto's attention. ''You must be Balto! The outcast hero.''

''Define 'outcast'.'' Balto laughed. ''And who'd you be?''

''We're parents of Josh.'' Kara said. ''The names are Kara and Buck. And these are Josh's sisters, our daughters, Abby and Alice.''

''Nice.'' Balto asked. ''Did you come to Nome as a tourists?''

As Buck was about to answer, Kara interrupted him as she saw Jenna coming. One Buck saw her coming, he was surprised too.

''What's happening here?'' Jenna asked curiously.

''Jenna!'' Kara called her. ''Over here! Do you rememeber us?''

''Kara? Buck?'' Jenna asked, recognizing them. ''Wow, he haven't seen each other for a long time!''

''We know!'' Buck said. ''It's been a while.''

''Wait...'' Saba and Josh asked them. ''Mom? You've been knowing each other for a long time!?''

''Yeah!'' Kara and Jenna said. ''We've met in Nome in 1921. Haven't we mentioned that?''

''Nope.'' Saba and Josh said.

''Oh well.'' Jenna said. ''What to say you're here?''

''We've come here as the tourists.'' Buck said. Then he whispered to Balto and Jenna. ''But there's some other reason why, which we will tell you before we return.''

''Alright.'' Balto and Jenna replied.

''Wow, there's so much to see around here.'' Abby said. ''Hey, Saba. Do you have siblings too?''

''Sure.'' Saba said. ''5 of them!''

''Wow!'' Alice said. ''Do they have, you know, their loves and pups?''

''Yes.'' Saba said.

''It seems that the street ain't the ideal place to gather up.'' Kara said. ''Do the dogs of Nome gather up somewhere?''

''Yes.'' Josh said. ''In the boiler room, the place where Saba and I first met as a puppies, immediately after I came to Nome. Follow us!''

Anchorage dogs followed Nome dogs to the boiler room. Josh was excited all the way to the boiler room, even when they entered it.

Soon enough, the rest of Balto's family was coming one by one. First, they met with Saba's red siblings and their mates and eventually, some of the grandpups came.

But then, Aleu and Kenai, among
