room.

Steele was bragging another story to inpress his peers.

"So I swam it was really cold too.so I said to my self I neede to puch through the ice so I-"

The door burst opened.  

"What?" he said.

"Its Balto with the serum!" the man cried. they all turned to Steele.

Then Steele looked at Dixie by his side.

"Steele you are the most despicable human being ever!" she said smacking him on the face.

Then the rest left Steele to himself.

"Ok. I can explain. So you guys weren't there so-Wait you guys!Wait just a second. Please?" he begged but they shut the door behind them to join the crowd.

 

The night was full of people celebrating Balto and the teams returning.

 

 

 

 

The whole week they called him the hero of Nome.

Jenna and Balto had been seeing each other for awhile. It was a week before they graduated fro high school.

THey were walking on the beach one day just talking about what they will do after school's over.

"A doctor huh? Might take you awhile to get there." Balto said lying on the sand. 

"It could but I want to help as much as I can." she said sitting next to him.

"I'm sure you'll do great!" He said tickling her.

"Balto! Haha! Stop! Haha! please!" she said laughing to death.

He smiled as he let her go.

He notices that she became quiet as her eyes looked to the ground.

"Jenna?" Balto said worried.  

"It might be awhile Since I'm going to college out of state." she said.

His body bolted up as he heard those words.

"Out of State?" he asked.

"Yeah! An old friend of my parents set me up for a few years in college. I know its far but we'll see each other soon I know it!" she said but Balto still looked sad.

"I'll miss you. How about I come with you?" he asked.

She sighed. She knew he would ask that.

"You love Nome Balto. If you left it'll only hurt you. You love mushing with your dogs and staying here with your family. I can't be the reason you're unhappy if you leave." she said.

"But Jenna-"he said.

"Balto please. I'll be back but better. If We are truly meant to be we'll make it. If I'm here or somewhere else I'll always love you." she said.

Balto looked at her eyes and said "I'll write to you everyday untill you come back. Hey. mabey in the future I'll be married to a doctor." he said. His eyes widen when talked about marrage.

Her eyes sparkled as the sun started to set.

"Balto." she pinned him down on the sand and kissed him.

He couldn't believe it.

He felt her warms lips on his.

They melted inside as they stayed like that for what seems like hours.

  

"THERE YOU ARE YOU ORPHANED RAT!!" avoice boomed behind them.

They turned to see...

 "STEELE!" shouted both of them.

"You took my job, my life, and my girl you WILL pay!" he said with Balto's knife still in his hand.

"For what Steele? You're the one who abandoned the team and you just lied to everyone just to get to me. You never thought about those children! If it were up to you they'd be dead!!" said Jenna.

Steele just looked at her.

"Jenna's right Steele! I just wanted to help you. You just swiped my hand away for the glory." said Balto.

Steele looked coldly at Balto.

"Come on Jenna! You are not apart of this. You'll stay with me." he said headed towards Jenna.

Balto jumped infront of her.

"Don't touch her!" he said coldly.

"Or what?! you'll bore me to death or will you start begging lke you do for food." he said as he punched Balto in the gut. "Agh!" he said held his stomach.

"Balto!!" she screamed.

She ran to him.

Balto pushed Jenna out of the way as Steele came back for more.

"You will not take Jenna away from me like you did with everthing else!" he said as he started to choke Balto.

THen Jenna wrapped her arms around his throat. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!" she said pulling him away.

Steele landed backwards to get her off but she held on to him.

"Get off of me!" he shouted then Balto planted his fist so hard on his face he fell forward out cold.

"Jenna!" he went to her side.

"Are you alright?!" he asked

"I'm fine thanks to you."she said kissing him on the cheek.

"I should be thanking you. If you didn't help I probably be dead. Saving lives naturallyis you thing so being a doctor won't be hard for you." he said to her.

She smiled. "Thank you. You alreadly shown everyone how you make a fine musher. " she said.

"Let's go." said Balto taking her hand.

"But what about Steele." she said looking behind.

"We'll talk to the police about it." he said.

She nodded as she walked back to town.

By the time the police came he was gone but they kept searching for him.

 

 

 

After they graduated Balto and Jennas family had a big afterparty they were all happy.

"Balto can I talk to you alone?" Jenna asked.

"Sure." he said following her outside.

"When I go to the train station I want you to be there." she said.

"Of course I will. Wouldn't do anything else. I promise I'll be there. I wait as long as I can to see you again even if it ttakes 60 years!" he said.

"Hehe. I'm sure it won't take that long but thank you Balto." Jenna said hugging him.

"Come on Balto! Time to go." said Muk.

  They all went home as Jenna and Rosey waved at him.

" I'll make sure he doesn't make it." a dark shadow said behind the house.

 

 

It was the most depressing day of Balto's life. Jenna was leaving Nome. He barley got out of bed if it wan't for Muk and Luk.

He told them he had a gift for Jenna at the store and told the other to go on ahead.

 

"Balto ran as fast as he could to the shop and said "Miss Avery do you have it?!" he said out of breath.

"Why yes! I have the bluescarrf you asked right here." he payed the old lady.

"Thank you I know she'll love it!" he said as he rushed to the sleds.

"He's a good boy. Wonder why we never seen it before in him." the old woman said.

As Balto was on his sled seting up the dogs something hardhit him on his head.

"If I can't have Jenna no one can." said a dark figure standing in front of him."

"Steele...?" he said collapsed omn the gtround.

 

 

 

"where is he? He promised he be here!" said Jenna packed and waiting for the train.

"Don't worry Jenna! He'll be here." said Rosey

"Yea! Balto never breaks his promises." said Muk.

"Hm mm. HM! MH!" said Luk

"That's right Luk! Balto said he needed to get somthing before we left." said Muk.

 "Don't worry dear." said her mom hugging her.

"The boy may be a slacker but he'll be here." said Boris.

But she can only can wait for him for so long.

 

 

 

Balto was in the boiler room with his hands and feets tied.

"What? What's going on!?" he said.

Steele came in the room and locked it.

 "Steele! Should 've known it'll be you. Let me go now!" said Balto.

"And let you and Jenna be happy? not a chance! I'll just keep you here until Jenna leaves then you're free to go." he said sitting in front of the door.

"Hmm. Mabey if I..." he thought.

"Oh Steele! Just look at you! From a proud musher to kidnapping? that's just sad."he said.

"Shut up runt." he said to Balto.

"I mean I heard of sore losing but jeeze!" Balto continued.

"SHUT UP!!"he shouted.

"They're  are other girls you can get you know. Mabey there's one with a big ego like you." he said calmly.

"THAT'S IT!!" Steele charged for Balto.

 Balto eaisley moved and tripped Steele. 

Steele once again fell on the ground hard.

Balto saw his knife in the ground.

He pick it up with his feet and cut the ropes.

"Bye Steele! I have a promise to keep." he said Runing as fast as the wind.

 

 

 

 

"ALL ABOARD!!" the man said.

"Your boy better be here before he breaks my little girl's heart." Her father said grabbing Boris.

"He will!" he said. "I hope." he thought.

"Well I guess he's too sad to watch me leave." said Jenna.

She hugged everybody before she about to go on the train.

"Just wait one more minate Jenna!" said Rosey.

"Yea! he should be here soon-" Muk said.

"Its ok! Goodbye everybody." she said boarding the train.

She thought as she sat down "I guess he really didn't want me to-"

 

 

"JJEENNAA!!!"

"Balto?" she looked out her window to see Balto chasing the train!

"I knew he'd come!" she tought. she rato the back of the train.

"BALTO!"she shouted.

 He jumped on the train to give her the scarf.

"I...got this for you. Its..... for..... luck." he said out of breath.

 "A blue scarf?! You're so sweet! I'll think of you everytime I wair it." she wrapped it around her wrist.

He kissed her long and hard.

The train started to move faster.

Hegot off started to wavr to her."I LOVE ALL OF YOU!" she shouted.

They all said goodbye.

"I LOVE JENNA!" Balto shouted.

"LOVE YOU TOO!" she said to him.

Then the train was gone.

Boris came to Balto. "Don't worry she'll be back.

"I know and I'll wait her until she comes." he said to Boris.

They stood for along time even when the train's horn blew far away.

 

The northern lights came out at night as Balto was still at the station.

"Jenna!" he thought as he started to head home.
