Aleu: I fear for my family. They know who I am. What should I do?
Wolf: Steps forward we will lead you home. Your family is important? I fear they might come after them.
Aleu: Thank you.
Aleu: They will wait for me as long as I need. I told them I may never return. I think they have came.
Kodi: Well that Niju guy nearly had a run at us so….
Aleu: Niju!
Kodi: Family friend….
Aleu: He must have teamed up with them and led them here. He always wanted to be a leader. Steele warned me about this….
Kodi: STEELE? He was dad’s ENEMY he tried to kill him. Word is they’re working together.

Jenna: Goes over to Balto’s boat and looks inside the window.
Boris: Boy you need to redecorate, like I did….
Balto: (lies down on old couch under blanket). Yeah, yeah. Boris.
(Boris winks at Jenna. Jenna nods)
Boris: (to Balto) I will be in the kitchen.
(Jenna takes a deep breathe and goes in her room. She realizes how messy it is Balto rolls
ever and sees her. He jumps. )
Balto: Jenna!
Jenna: (smiles) Hey.
Balto: (Looks around) I was just. (lost in words) redecorating.
Jenna: I see.
Balto: It’s cold in here. (tosses blanket over her) you should be back at home.
Jenna: Well actually I was kinda planning on staying here tonight.
Balto: Okay.
(Awkward moment)
Balto: Food! Hey Boris! Boris, could you bring in more of that goose juice? (to Jenna) It’s delicious.
Jenna: Balto….
(Balto hops over to the window seal)
Jenna: Balto….
Balto: I’ll just shut these windows here. (reaches up)
Jenna: It’s okay.
(Balto stops)
Jenna: Everything is okay. You don’t have to do this anymore.
Balto: How can it be okay? How can it ever be okay? If only I could go back and do something different and Eli….
Jenna: There’s nothing you can do. There was never anything you could’ve done.
Balto: Look at me! Look at how I’m living! Everything is falling apart! Us, our family, the book-case….
Jenna: That bookcase was always crooked.
Balto: I messed up.
Jenna: I don’t care. No one cares, not unless you give them a reason to.
(Balto walks over to the couch and lays by Jenna)
Balto: I don’t….
Jenna: One day at a time.
(Balto fall asleep. Boris walks in the room with a bowl. He brings it over to Jenna, who tries a little.)
Jenna: (Smiles) Juicy….
Boris: (proudly folds arms) What did I tell ya?
Chapter 5
(Kodi and Aleu are on their way to the Balto’s boat.)
Kodi: Look there it is!
Aleu: I can’t wait.
(Suddenly two wolves stop right in front of their paths. Kodi and Aleu come to a halt. The two wolves are Celtic and Niju)
Niju: Aleu?
Kodi: Niju!
Celtic: You!
(the snow starts falling. Celtic leaps at Aleu. Kodi tackles him in mid air and they brawl. Kodi is slapped across the ground.)
Aleu: Don’t hit my brother!
Niju: Stop!
Suddenly the other three wolves dart at them and then Nikki Kaltag and Star lift them in the air with a few head butts. Celtic is about to wail Kodi on the ground then he’s crashed to the side by none other than Steele.
Celtic: (Gets up) Traitor!
Steele: No, champion.
(the fued pits Kodi Aleu Nikki Kaltag and Star on one side and the others on the other side.)
Celtic: Okay then, "Champion" (steps in the center of the area) let’s go! I was gonna leave you to Niju, but I’d rather have the pleasure of killing you myself!
Niju: Celtic, Stop this!
Steele: Go home Celtic! (warning) This can only end in a very bad way.
Kodi: Stop!
Celtic: (looks over to Aleu) When I’m done with him, "dady’ll" end up the very same way.
(Steele snatched Celtic by the back and slings him to the ground.)
Steele: Let’s go! (pacing back and fourth on the snow)
Celtic: (get’s up) Well. I can respect you for that.
(Suddenly the two brawls with each other rolling on the ground. Everyone is watching yelling. One side to stop and the other side win. Balto stops in his tracks right beside the crowd. He looks and see’s Aleu)
Balto: (stunned) Aleu?
Aleu: Papa! The tree!
Balto looks and see’s there’s a tree with several large icicles hanging and Celtic and Steele are heading towards it.
Balto: Steele? No!
(balto darts out towards them. Celtic pushes Steele right under the tree. Steele on his back looks up and see’s the trees and notices he’s on ice.)
Steele: Celtic! Stop!
Celtic: (Smiles) No.
Balto leaps
Celtic: Not when I’m this close.
(Celtic leaps at Steele with claws extended fully. Balto Rams into Steele knocking him out the way. Celtic unable to stop slams into the tree and lands on the ground. Small icicles hit him at first then he looks up completely petrified everyone stops and motionless. As if time slows down, ten large icicles thrust into the ground standing straight up and lodged. Celtic gives Niju a calm look. The ground shatters flipping parts of the ice over Celtic and putting him completely underwater. Balto leaps into the freezing cold water trying to find him. Everyone huddles around the cracked water.)
*
(After a few minutes Balto rises to the surface alone and sad. His eyes red. Steele helps him out of the water. Balto refuses help from everyone that try to save him. Jenna comes running along with Boris and Stella to the scene.)
Boris: Balto! Balto!
(Boris rushes over to Balto)
Boris: Balto my boy! Are you….
Balto: Leave me alone Boris.
Boris: Not a big fan of water I see.
Jenna: (Sees Kodi.) Thank heavens Kodi.
(Jenna turns to see Aleu)
Jenna: (tears) Aleu. (Jenna hugs her)
(They look for Balto, Jenna spots him)
Jenna: (happily) Balto! Balto?
(Balto is lost in his own world. Nava walks by.)
Steele: Balto, follow me.
(Balto gets up as everyone is talking.)
Niju: Cel…. Nnn…. ice….no….no! Celtic! My blood!
(Balto looks back seeing The others trying to keep Niju from jumping in the water)
Steele: Balto, let’s go!
(Balto starts walking and looking. He sees Jenna Stairing at him concerned. Balto turns away nothing.)
Chapter 6
(Balto followed Steele all the way back to the boat. Not saying a word. Finally they go inside. Balto sits down by the couch. Steele throws a blanket over him.)
Steele: (sarcastic) Nice house wolf dog.
(Balto whispers something.)
Steele: What?
Balto: I could’ve saved him.
Steele: (inconsiderately) Yeah, sure. (heads to the door)
(Steele exits)
(Balto closes his eyes. Nava steps out of the shadow)
Balto: I couldn’t have saved him, could I?
Nava: Celtic couldn’t have saved himself. He was doomed in his own hatred.
Balto: I still love Jenna.
Nava: Then go to her. Go to your family. A storm is coming. (Nava leaves boat)

Nikki: Okay Steele why are you really back?
Kaltag: Yeah?
Steele: (Rolls on the ground) Oh my back.
Nikki: (to Kaltag and star) He’s a nut-job. Let’s go.
Star: Were outta here.
Steele: Wait….
(Everyone stops)
Steele: You guys are neighborhood watch right?
Nikki: Yeah and?
Steele: (Teasing singing) I, know something you don’t, know!
Kaltag: Steele if you’ve got something to say then say it.
Nikki: Yeah!

Nikki: Is that….
Steele: Keys to every shop in town.
Kaltag: You’re crazy if you think you can bribe us.
Steele: Am I
Song
Fast big band Jazz
(Steele)
Good news Steele is back on his feet.
My deeds are pure enough to wipe the sleet clean.
I used to be a crook, now I’ve got a brand new look.
I’m a paw over heels and outta sight.
I used to live a life of golden snacks.
Until the wolf dog came along changed my tracks.
But now I went from table scraps
to a life I won’t give back because
I’m a paw over heels and outta sight.
(Nikki)
The moron must live outside his frame.
(Kaltag)
He’s broken every law and he’s to blame.
(Star)
Three hit’s on his brain, should be included in his name.
(kaltag pounds Stars head nikki is out cold)
(Kaltag and Nikki)
So Steele our answer’s no way!
(everyone is dancing)
(Steele)
I had a feeling you’d deny the
opportunity of a life time
To live the golden life that I
promised you.
Just give one more chance
and let me help you guys advance
to the greater life you never ever knew.
(Light but fast)
Maybe beef jerky or butter ball turkey
Instead of noodles in a can how bout a bright and tasty ham
Sweet potato pie on top of roast beef on some rhy

Star: (paw in mouth) I think I bit my hand.

But never forget what we were made to
