The next day, the entire team was in the boiler room and everyone was sleeping until Cop woke up. He yawned and stretched his long legs, but then noticed that Cameron wasn’t anywhere to be seen.

‘ Cam?’ Cop asked quietly as he walked over to the door and peeped outside. He saw the ocean, Balto’s boat and Cameron running on the beach. He ran over to her and ran beside her.

‘ Hey.’ Cameron said as she stopped and nuzzled Cop.

‘ What are you doing up so early?’ Cop asked as Cameron stopped nuzzling him.

‘ I just thought that I’d get some practise before the big competition next week.’ Cameron answered as she and Cop walked to town. A little bundle of fluff came bounding towards them, but crashed into Cops legs.

‘ Cop! Your dad wants you at his house!’ The pup exclaimed. Without a word, Cop ran towards his father’s house wandering what Rex wanted with him. Cameron followed him at great speed.

In no less than twenty seconds, Cop and Cameron reached Rex’s house. They crawled through the dog door and walked over to a fire.

‘ Dad…?’ Cop asked.
