dog while i was gone then your too late. Ive already heard the news" Dusty said and a tearfull tone

Shocked kodi didn't know what to say to this. clearing his throat kodi started "Dusty i made a mistake. We all make them."

"and that makes it ok that you went behind my back and cheated on me" Dusty said turning around and glaring at kodi.

"No. Thats not what im saying. Look i don't know what got into me. It just sort of happened" Kodi tried to explain to dusty.

He was still shocked that she already knew. He still had one more day.

"Kodi i can't even bear to talk to you right now" Dusty said and started to walk away from kodi.

"Dusty wait" Kodi started but dusty broke into a run.

Kodi took a deep breath and felt a shudder rush through his body.

Walking away kodi noticed a brown dog walking away. Kodi recognized the dog.

"Kirby! wait up" Kodi shouted running to catch up with kirby.

But as soon as kirby heard his voice he broke into a run as well. Now kodi saw why kirby had been put in lead dog position.

Kodi skidded to a halt in the snow and watched one of his best friends run away from him.

Once again kodi was on the beach.

Everything was falling apart. It seemed that once dusty found out everyone found out.

The only people who were still with kodi were Sasha and Kalgorn.

Though kodi wasn't sure if Kalgorn even knew.

There were only two others he knew of that didn't know what he had done. His parents.

Eventually they would find out so kodi figured it would be better if they found out from him than from someone else.

Walking slowly towards his mom's place kodi dreaded telling them. Kodi didn't turn into the town.

Instead he walked around. He didn't feel like talking to anyone.

 

Once kodi reached his destination kodi sat down and gathered his thoughts about Just how he was going to tell them.

Then kodi walked into the house. His mom wasn't asleep on the couch anymore. Kodi couldn't find them anywhere in the house so he walked outside and looked around.

"why is it so hard to find dad when you need him?" Kodi said to himself

"Just bad timing son" came the voice of Balto from behind kodi

Kodi jumped. "Dad, ive been looking for you. Where's mom?"

"well if your looking for you mother why were you looking for me?" Balto said grinning.

"Dad" Kodi started

"Its ok i know what you meant. I thought jenna was at her place but i can see you've saved me the search" Balto replied

Kodi nodded his head and looked around. Hoping to see his mom.

"Anyway what do you want?" Balto asked hoping down from the porch.

"I need to tell you something" Kodi started

"Im listening" Balto said sitting down infront of kodi.

"I was hoping to tell it to both of you so i would have to say it only once" Kodi went on

"well ill save you the trouble of telling your mother. Now what is it" Balto replied

"Ok, well see theres this new dog in town and ive been spending alot of time with her but a few days ago i made a mistake" Kodi started

Balto nodded. "is this a small mistake or a big mistake?"

"big. I don't know what to do about it. I. . . Dad i slept with her" Kodi finally said

"Well this could be worse. I mean at least you weren't cheating on someone or something like that" Balto said smiling slightly.

Kodi didn't say anything.

"Oh" Balto said recognzing the look on kodi's face. "Who are you with?"

"Well im more than likely to not be with her anymore but, Dusty" Kodi said looking down at the ground

"Ok, Kodi ill tell your mother when i see her. The only thing there is for you to do is to appoligize but you should give her some time first" Balto said comfortingly.

"So you don't hate me for it?" Kodi asked looking up at balto

"Well im dissapointed that you did something like this but no. Your my son" Balto replied then went to go find jenna.

Kodi let out a sigh of relief. That made 3 people still with him. Hopefully his mom would see it the same way.

He turned around and started to walk away. Maybe he'd go to his dad's boat for awhile. Figure out what he had to do next but when he turned around he saw His mom.

"Hay kodi. looking for you dad?"

"KODI!"

"mom, it didn't mean for it to happen"

Kodi had just told his mom about what he'd done and now seeing her reaction he wished he could have just let dad tell her.

"Kodi I thought we'd taught you better"

Kodi couldn't think of anything to say to this so he just looked down at the ground and listened to his mom.

Finally jenna seemed to have run out of things to say.

"Jenna whats with all the shouting?"

It was Balto.

"Balto do you know what kodi has done?" Jenna asked angrily.

"I told you to let me tell her kodi." Balto said looking at kodi.

"you know? and your ok with this?" Jenna asked with a mixture of anger and shock.

"He told me earlier" Balto replied to jenna. "Just calm down jenna. We all make mistakes"

Jenna didn't say another word. She simply just walked out of the room

"Well im not gunna be getting any sleep here tonight" Balto said looking at the roof. As if he could see jenna up there.

"im sorry dad" Kodi said

"Its ok. Ive still have the boat" Balto replied to kodi.

"ive got to go dad" Kodi said after a moments silence then turned toward the door.

"Kodi" Balto said suddenly

Kodi stopped and looked back

"don't worry. Things will work out"

Kodi smiled. "thanks" Then left.

It had been a week since kodi had told dusty. He hadn't seen her since. Kodi now lay on his dads boat.

Thinking about everything that had happened and trying to think of a way to make it up to her.

The Sun had set and the moon was already bright in the sky.

Kodi's eyelids were beginning to droop.

After several more minutes kodi decided to start back to get some sleep. But when he turned around he saw Dusty.

"Dusty what are you-" Kodi started surprised

"i just had a feeling you'd be here" Dusty said answering kodi's question.

"Dusty, im sorry about what i did" Kodi said after a long silence.

"After what you did kodi it's no easy to forgive you" Dusty said slowly

"I know dusty but i can only say sorry so many times. What do i have to do to make it up to you?" Kod said walking towards dusty.

"Kodi it's not that simple. You can't just say sorry for something like this and expect me to forgive you.

"What, Then?" Kodi asked taking another step towards dusty

"Kodi there's a reason i came to see you and thats to tell you that my dad found out and is looking for you" Dusty said doing something she hadn't done in a week, and looked him in the eyes "I came here to tell you to be careful"

This surprised kodi. He wasant scared, he could take care of himself, but the fact that dusty had come here to warn him.

That must mean she still had feeling for him.

"Thanks but i don't worry about me"

For a minute the two just looked at each other. Neither one spoke.

Then finally dusty spoke. "Well its late, I need to get back home"

"Wait, let me walk you home" Kodi said running over to dusty.

"Fine" Dusty replied and turned and headed back towards the town.

 

As they entered the town kodi finally decided to say something.

"Dusty is there anything i can say or do to make this better?"

It took dusty i minute to answer.

"No kodi. There isn't"

"Kodi, ive been looking all over for you. There's this really mean looking dog asking around for you"

Sasha had just appeared beside kodi.

"he would happen to be about twice as big as me, with orange and white fur would he?" Kodi asked looking not at sasha but straight ahead of him.

"Yea. Why have you seen him?" Sasha asked surprised

"No. But hes right in front of me" Kodi said his eyes fixed on the massive dog down the street

Sasha noticing him said "kodi this wouldn't happen to have anything to deal with your little incident with Asher would it?" Sasha asked standing in front of kodi.

"Sasha, last night dusty told me that her dad found out and is looking for me. I think he might have hired someone to come fetch me" Kodi explained to dusty.

Kodi who was still staring at the dog suddenly pushed sasha out of the way and the dog collided with kodi. Knocking kodi off his feet and landing on his back several feet from his original place.

Kodi got back up and looked at the dog. Kodi could see three of him.

Not sure which one to go for kodi went for the one on the left. As kodi lunged for the dog the two other dogs dissapeared leaving just the one left. The dog kicked him in the side and kodi landed in the snow again. This time kodi didn't get back up. . .

Four other dogs sat at the top of the mountain. They all seemed to be waiting for something.

One of the dogs sitting on the mountain was Dusty.

Of the other three one looked like Dusty's father, Rusk. When dusty asked who the other two dogs were he simply said "there here for a favor for me"

He wouldn't say anything else on the subject.

They were at the top of the mountain near nome. Just on the other side of the mountain was a deep cavern.Dusty had already been on this mountain before. Once with kodi before he had slept with that other dog.

Wishing she could rewind time dusty heard the sound of another coming up the mountain.
Within a few seconds a large orange and white dog came into view. On his back was the unconsious figure of Kodi.

"Kodi!" Dusty said shocked. Her dad hadn't told her why she had to be here.

"thank you Charles. You can set him down here"

"Dad, whats going on here?" Dusty asked unable to take her eyes of kodi. Seeing kodi this way made dusty wish she had never gotten angry with him.

"Punishment sweety. It has come to my attention that this dog has been cheating on you."Rusk said.

"Dad, my personal life is none of your business" Dusty replied as her father walked over to kodi and nudged him with his paw.

"He'll only be out another hour or two. Before we do it i want him to be awake. I want him to see it" Rusk said grinning at the thought of it.

"dad! tell me what
