A New Bagining

"You hear that?"

     Songa purcked up her ears to try and hear what her friend was talking about. She could hear footsteps, and whoever was making them, they were running from somthing or some one. They heard it coming closer, and then they could hear panting.

     The two females looked back and saw a lack, white, and gold Akita running tawrds them, he was bleeding. Then they saw a brown, big and angry looking figure running behind him. They squented thier eye's, and then, relized what was chasing the young dog.

     It was a bear.Songa's friend made a mad dash as fast as she could."Go up hill!The bear will have a had time catching you!"Songa barked.The dog ran.He ran twards a hill."are you sure?"He barked."Trust me!"She yelled.

     She heard the bear roar and she turned up the hill, then she triped over a small stone and the bear was right over her, she closed her eye's. But then she heard the bear sceam in pain, she opend her eye's and saw her father, Balto tearing at the best. He let go and the bear ran back into the forest.

     Balto walked over to the pup. "Are you okay?" He smiled. The pup nodded. He looked at Songa. "Friend of yours" He asked.

     She didn't no what to say, the finely said: "Uhh, yeah! He's an old friend, well, I'll see ya later dad." She said and Balto left. She then walked to the pup with heer friend. "Are you okay?" They asked. He looked at them. "Yeah, im okay, I was just trying to eat when that bear chased me. Well, uuhh, what are your name's? The pup asked. The irls looked at eachother then spoke: "We'll tell you when you tell us what your name is." Songa teased.

     "Oh................ Im...uh.... Z-Zorro...." He said. "I like that name." Songa smiled. Zorro turned away.

     "What's wrong?" Songa asked. He looked back at her and her friend. "Oh... nothing, but now you put up your end of the deal. What are your names?" He asked playfully.

     "I'm Songa."He said proudly. "My father saved this whole Town!" Songa smiled. "I'm a mix between a husky and a wolf,but mostly husky." She smiled. "And who is you friend?" Zorro asked.

     "Oh, this is ny friend, Nakita." SOnga replyd. "Yep, Im a shetland sheepdog, malamute mix." Nakita smiled. "Its nice to meet you, both." Zorro smiled. "Oh! I have two other great friends you need to meet." Songa said. "Come one, thier at the meat locker." She said.

     "Cool." Zorro smiled, acting cool. Or trying too. Around the corner were two wolves. "Oh hey Songa,who's this?"The yellow one barked. "This is Zorro."She smiled. "Oh,well I'm Angel and this is Zasha. "The yellow wolf barked. "Hey Zorro,Are you in for a little exitment?" Zasha asked. "What?"Zorro questioned.

     "Well,were gunna see if we can snag somthing for the meat locker." She smiled. "But why risk it if we can go to my favorite trash can and dig up somthing even better!?!"Zorro laughed. "Sure,lead the way." Angel smiled. They started crossing when a voise popped up.

     "ZASHA! ANGEL! SONGA!"It called.There were two male dogs,well one was a wolf."Oh hey Jaxs,hey Shade."Songa barked."I hope she's not with them."Zorro said softly to himself so no one could hear.Shade nuzzeld Zasha and Jaxz licked angel on the cheeck."So,where you going?"Jaxs smiled.

     "Oh, we're just on our way to his favorite trash can." Angel said.  "Oh, who is this?" Jaxs asked. "Im Zorro." He said. "Well its nice to meet you." The two boys smiled. "OK lets go!" Zorro said and dashed to town.

     "It's right over there!"Zorro said smiling. He pionted and they ran. "Ummmmm Shade........."Zorro asked. "What?"He said. "Ummmmmm I have a crush on-"He was interupted by Shade. "DUDE YOU BETTER NOT BE HITTING ON MY GIRL ZASHA CAUSE I WILL-" He was stopped by Zorro.

     "NOOOOOOOOO.......it's Songa....."He blushed.Shade felt bad for what he said so figured he should help. "OOOoOOOOOoOOHHHHHhHHH......."He said. "Yeah uh........how should I.,.....You know......."He said. "Ask her out?"Shade smiled.

     "Yeah...."Zorro blushed again.Shade went to Jaxs for help.He tugged on his tail."What?"Jaxs said sort of growling with a chicken leg hanging from him mouth,that he had found in the garbage can.

     "Come over here." Shade pointed. Tey sat in a curcle. "Zorro here, has a crush on our friend, Songa. He needs help to get her. What do you think we should do." Shade asked. "Uhh, first, stop acting like we're on a talk-show. Second, we tell you how we got our girls, then you think about." Jaxs said, proudly.

     "OK! That sounds good." Zorro smiled. "Here's how I got Angel. She was runnung and she jumped on me by accidant. Then when we ot up, our uuhh, noses touched. She was so immberist she ran off. Then she was caught by a dog catcher and we saved her. Then she came to live with me. But after my owner was killed we ran-off." Jaxs sighed. "Oh, im soory bro." Zorro said.

     "Well, it was raining realy harsh one night," Shade started. ."I looked around for a cave,and saw one.I went inside but diddn't know someone was allready there.I accedentaly startled her atfirst but we got along,we were both lone wolves.Then,I came back with her tha next day."He smiled."So what should I do?"Zorro asked.

     "Uuuhhh, lets wait a-little and see how things turn out." Jaxs siad. Zorro's ears droped. "Oh, okay." He sighed.

     About a month later, Zorro's feeling for Songa grew, but she didn't have the same feelings for him, or atleast she didn't show it.

Later that day:

     Zasha, Shade, Angel, Jaxs, Zorro, and Songa got together and were playing on the beach when Nikita walked up. "Ugh......Just look at her! She's SOOOOOO stuck up! Trying to play hard to get with Zorro. Huh. Well he'll TODALLY fall for me." She laughed. "Songa's just waisting her time."

     She curled her tail and flufed her ribbin and walked over. "Hey Zorro, you look very hansome today." Nakita winked. "Oh, uuh thanks." He smiled. "When no one was looking she wiisperd in his ear: "Meet me at the boiler room later." She said.

     He looked at her, "Sorry, I already have plans." He relyd. Her eye's whidend. "With who?" She asked. "Well, me and Songa were going to talk in there." He said.

     "Oh.......but Songa told me she was goinng to hang out with Angel and Zasha tonight!" Nikita lied. "What?" Then Zorro relized she probably diddn't want Nikita to know. "Oh thats right, I'm seeing her tomarrow, But I have to go home early tonight to see my owner for somthing." He lied, he diddn't even have an owner.

     "OH! Well, then I'll see you around." SHe said, some-what growling. "Okay." He said and walked back over to Songa and the others. "Hey Songa." He smiled. "Hey, what's wrong with Nakita?" She asked. "Uhh, she..." He began then pulled her from the others.

     "She wanted to see me tonight, but I told her I already had plans with you. So she lied then ran off." He wisperd. They had thier heads down low while they were talking. So they lefted them, but as they did thier heads hit eachother.

     "Ohhh sorry!"Zorro said.Songa just giggled. "It's okay." She smiled. "Hey......wana race?"Zorro laughed. "Sure!" Songa laughed. They raced across the beach, forgetting about the others but they diddn't mind, they ALL knew Zorro was crushing on Songa. "Finnish line at the bolier room." Zorro called. Songa was to busy laughing to race. She thought she'd play a trick on him. She faked like she tripped.

     "OOOWWWWWW!" She called. Zorro turned and came back. He looked down. "HOLY CRAP ARE YOU OKAY?" Zorro shouted. Songa rammed her legs into Zorro, makking him trip and raced into the boiler room. "Hahahahaha You got me!" Zorro laughed. They lied down to cool off. The Nikita walked in. "UH!" She growled.

     "Oh.. hello.. Nakita." Songa said between breaths. "Hello, Songa, Oh! I left somthin outside, do you mind gettin it for me Songa" Nakita lied. "Oh, sure, I'll be right back Zorro." Songa said. She left and Nakita shut the door. "Hello Zorro." She smiled. "Uhh, hey, could you open the door please?" Zorro asked.

     She faked like she was trying to."Oh dear.....I belive were locked in!"She lied."Here let me try..."Zorro started walking to the door but Nikita nocked him over."But honey....where just getting started...."She grinned.

     "Getting started with what?" He asked shocked. "Our family." She said. His eye's whidend. "Nakita, I-Im only a year old, Im not ready for a family, and not with yo.." He was cut off. "WHY? Because of SONGA you know she's..." She was cut off aswell by the banging sound from outside. "Let her in!" Zorro shouted.

     "WHY? SO YOU CAN JOIN UP AND BEAT MY A**? NO!" Niktia growled. "OPEN THIS DOOR OR-" Zorro said but stopped and relized to just ignor her........ He opened the door and Songa came in. Nikita ran as fast as her little legs could carry her outta there. "What happend?" Songa asked. Zorro thought it would be cruel to tell her. "She relized she was late for somthing......" Zorro said.

     "Oh, okay." She sighed. They sat back down and began talking. "So, what brought you to Nome?" Songa asked. Zorro closed his eye's and droped his ears. "Did I say somthing wrong?" She asked. "No, It's just." He stoped. She gently picked his head up with her muzzle. "Tell me." She said
