wrong or Alice has a new home here?''

''You didn't hear it wrong.'' Buck said. ''Alice and her owner are going to live in Nome.''

Josh looked at his sister in surprise. Did that mean that the redemption would be satisfying? And did it also mean that he was going to have at least one member of his family to live here?

''How so?'' Saba asked.

''Well.'' Kara said. ''Abby's owner and our owner are handling financially well in Anchorage. But Alice's onwer is not.''

''Okay?'' Josh said.

''There were two options.'' Abby said. ''Either Alice was going to be sold or she and her owner would move to a new town.''

''And the moving was the choice.'' Alice said.

''Well, it'd be really nice to have at least one family member to see here!'' Josh exclaimed.

''Definitely.'' Balto and Jenna said.

The next day, Abby, Buck and Kara greeted Balto's family and headed back to Anchorage with their owners and with the other Anchorage tourists. They hoped that they'd see each other again.

''Nome does seem like a nice town.'' Alice said, looking around while walking with her brother.

''Sure does.'' Josh said.

''Are the dogs here good?'' Alice asked. ''I don't want to be creeped out or stalked by them.''

''Don't worry.'' Josh said. ''They're good. And since you're my sister, it means you're part of Balto's family here now. You'll be protected by his friends from now on.''

''Good.'' Alice said. ''Hey, here comes Saba.''

And sure, Saba came. Josh asked her: ''Anything new, my dear?''

''Yeah.'' Saba said. ''Aleu and Kenai went with their pups to visit their former pack. They'll be back in a few days.''

''I still feel bad after offending them.'' Alice said. ''I'd like to be good friends with them.''

''Don't worry.'' Josh said. ''You didn't offend anyone. I bet you'd be good friends with them, and also a good aunt to our pups.''

Alice smiled upon realizing that she'd spend some time with her niece and nephew.

Chapter 38: Family Reunion
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the events that occured over the couple of months...

Balto was walking down the street of Nome, thinking about everything that had been happening lately.

First, Aleu had returned home with Kenai, then Kodi won the championship and he and Dusty became a couple. Then, it was Aleu's turn for so.

After her, Saba, Dingo, Yukon and Nunivat found their true loves, thus he and Jenna had become grandparents.

Then, the enemies had returned, only to be defeated and get themselves killed for their egoism and evilness.

The grandpups had been growing up for a while, and they sure were growing up into handsome and loveable huskies and wolves.

Now Aleu and Kenai went with their pups to visit their former pack few days ago. She was going to return this day.

And Balto finally managed to meet Josh's parents, thus eventually realizing that Josh's sister was moving into Nome.

One day ago, Kodi's team began delivering mail again, and they were going to return very soon.

Balto thought that either he was going to visit some of his family or head to the post office to greet his son after getting back in race.

After thinking for a good while, he decided to go to the post office and wait for Kodi to return.

While on his way, Balto noticed that he was being followed by a smaller female husky. He turned around and smiled as he saw a silver female with purple bandana coming towards him.

''Hey, Kiana.'' Balto greeted his granddaughter.

''Hey, grandpa Balto.'' Kiana greeted back. ''What're you up to?''

''Nothing much.'' Balto said. ''Just going to wait for your uncle Kodi to return. Are you coming?''

''No thanks, grandpa.'' Kiana said. ''I'm going to Amber to show her what my owner gave me!''

''Nice.'' Balto smiled. ''That bandana really fits you.''

''Thanks.'' Kiana said, nuzzling her grandfather.

''Your grandma would be proud to see you with that bandana.'' Balto said.

''I bet.'' Kiana giggled. ''Say, when are aunt Aleu and uncle Kenai coming back?''

''They should be back by afternoon.'' Balto said. ''Aleu'd like to see you with bandana as well.''

''Yeah.'' Kiana giggled again. ''I'm going to Amber now, see you later, grandpa!''

''Later, Kiana!'' Balto said. ''And make sure to say ''Hi'' to Amber and to Nero!''

Kiana nodded as she headed into another street to see her sister. Meanwhile, Balto continued to the post office.

Once he reached there, he sat down and waited paitently for a while. Then, a flare was seen and heard in the sky.

''Looks like a 3-mile mark.'' Balto said, noticing the flare.

Then, an another one popped in the sky and soon enough, another one. Balto could already see the team entering Nome. Soon enough, they stopped in front of the post office.

''Hey, Kodi.'' Balto greeted his son.

''Hey, dad.'' Kodi replied, panting.

''How is it to be back in delivery?'' Balto asked.

''So far, so good.'' Kodi said. ''But it feels like we were slower than usual.''

''It could be that your team wasn't delivering mail for a while.'' Balto said.

''Could be.'' Dusty said. ''But it's like one of us is absent-minded while racing.''

''And that one isn't me.'' Kirby commented. ''I think it's Ralph.''

Balto, Kodi, Dusty and Kirby looked at Ralph, who wasn't listening to them, but was smiling goofily and looking around.

''What's with him anyways?'' Dusty asked.

''I'm not sure.'' Kirby said. ''But ever since that Anchorage husky moved in Nome, he started to behave oddly.''

''Could it be?'' Kodi chuckled. ''That Ralph fell in love with Alice?''

''Possibly.'' Kirby answered. ''Hey, Ralph! Ralph! Stop day-dreaming already!''

''Wh... What?!'' Ralph asked, shrugging with his head.

''Ralph, are you day-dreaming?'' Kodi asked. ''We were late!''

''Sorry, guys.'' Ralph said. ''I... I didn't sleep well.''

''Okay.'' Dusty said, then she winked to Kirby and Kodi, who just snickered mockingly, making sure that Ralph wouldn't notice. Then the dogs were released from their harnesses.

''I just wonder...'' Balto asked Kodi and Dusty, as they were heading to their home. ''What's with Ryan when you're delivering mail?''

''Don't worry, Balto.'' Dusty said. ''My parents are looking after him when we are absent.''

''It's okay.'' Balto said. ''I just hope he won't be mean or mischiveous.''

''Ryan might be mischiveous sometimes.'' Kodi commented. ''But he knows how to behave himself, we know that.''

''That's good.'' Balto said. ''I'm going to wait for Aleu on the boat then.''

''Okay, dad.'' Kodi said. ''See you later.''

Kodi and Dusty entered their house and were greeted by their youngest son Ryan, who was happy to see them back.

Meanwhile, Balto was already out of Nome. He looked at the town and realized that it'd be way different if he didn't bring the medicine in 1925.

He climbed on his boat and realized that no one was there at the moment. Boris was most of his time spending with Stella and Muk and Luk were spending their time somewhere else.

Balto smiled and sighed while laying down on the box found on the deck. He decided to wait there until Aleu, Kenai and the pups would show up.

As the time was slowly passing, Balto felt sleepy here and there. Nonetheless, he believed that Aleu'd be back today.

Suddenly...

''Why so sad, my brother?'' A sweet female voice asked.

Balto looked around and saw gray female husky on the deck, smiling at him. At first, he thought it was Dusty, but this one seemed older.

''Am I dreaming?'' Balto asked. ''Or is that really you... Aurora?''

''This is not a dream.'' Aurora said with her sweet, warm voice. ''I am here.''

''This is nice.'' Balto smiled back at last.

''Balto, I'm glad that you did many great things in your life.'' Aurora said. ''You saved the town, you have your own family, who have their own families too.''

''It was definitely worth it.'' Balto said. ''But sometimes I wonder if you're the only one who appears to me?''

''She's not the only one.'' Another voice, this one being male answered.

Balto noticed that the voice was coming from below. He saw a male white canine with blue eyes, smiling at him.

''If I'm not
