other business.  But I told him I’d be here to settle the matter.”

“Taya?” asked Steele.  “I thought I told you not to come back.”

"Yeah, but unlike you, I don't listen to my perants, especally the stupid ones like you!" She yelled.

Luna secretly jumped for joy and yelled "Yes! No more listening to Mum or Dad! YAY!"

Toby Part Three - Doom or Destiny?

 

The starter’s pistol fired, and Toby was off faster than the bullet fired from it (okay, so it was a blank, but Toby wasn’t in the mood to be picky). He passed Pete, laughing as he heard his half-brother’s outraged shouts behind him. Then he passed Ralph, Dusty, Kirby, and Kodi. Finally it was just him and Balto, neck and neck, racing for the finish line. At the last moment Toby inched ahead and won the race! The crowd gathered around him as he found himself lifted into the air. “Ladies and gentlemen,” announced the musher, “The new lead dog for the mail team, Toby!" Toby whimpered "I thought we where racing to get a transfer to England, oh well... There goes my free health care"

----------------------------------------

“Hey, hotshot,” came a voice behind him, startling Toby so that he jumped three feet in the air. "Luna..." He said. "The script says we don't become mates untill the 10th Episode, you cant call me that yet!"

----------------------------------

“Why wouldn’t he want a sled dog anyway?” wondered Toby. “Not that I want a home with humans,” he added, trying not to admit to himself that he half-wished Charlie had wanted him.

Luna looked hard at him. “Because he wants a friend who’ll be there when he really needs one. Like when I broke my legs. I asked you to promise you’d come by and visit often. Just try to think how hard it must be for Charlie not to be able to play with other kids. And he’ll probably always be that way"

 

Toby laughed at Luna "He has a computer, thats the closest friend you could possibley have... Unless it's a cheap old MAC"

-----------------------------------------

 

The musher took his place beside the starting line. “On your marks…” he called out. "Get Set... GO!" The fired his pistol before a voise came over the tannoy "Attention please, we have found 8 stray dogs on the Olympic 100m running track, if they are not claimed within 1 second they will be crushed by the athletics feet... Especially if the American on runs over it."

-----------------------------------------

Toby was confused. “What are you talking about?” Just at that moment Charlie stepped into the scene "Sasha got me a Bowflex!"

----------------------------------------

“In the meantime,” said Kodi with a laugh, “It’ll probably double my speed on the return trips to Nome.”

“What?” asked Dusty, pretending to be deeply hurt. “Only double? I would have hoped for at least triple.”

"Well... Unfortunately your just not that Important." Kodi said, lifting his head.

The director growled "THATS NOT WHAT YOUR SUSPOSED TO SAY!" He yelled.

"I say what I like, because i'm Kodi! And I love Dusty!"

--------------------------------------

"The greatest adventure

Is what lies ahead

Today and tomorrow

Are yet to be said

The chances, the changes

Are all yours to make

The mold of your life

Is in your hands to break.”

“The greatest adventure

Is there in your home.

Let go of the mold

That life makes you hold

To measure the meaning

Can make you delay

It’s time you stop thinking

And wasting the day.”

The wolf’s voice grew louder and clearer as he soared into what might have been the chorus if there had been more than one singer.

"The man who's a dreamer,

And never takes leave,

Who thinks of a world

That is just make believe,

Will never know passion,

Will never know pain,

Who sits by the window

Will one day see rain.”

His voice grew quieter again as he entered what sounded like the beginning of a new verse.

“The greatest adventure

Is what lies ahead

Today and tomorrow

Are yet to be said

The chances, the changes,

Are all yours to make

The mold of your life

Is in your hands to break.”

“The greatest adventure…is what…lies aheaaaddd…”

Toby growled. "SHUT UP! You cannot sing to save your life, do NOT go onto the X-factor!"

----------------------------------------

Toby shivered as he stepped out of his den. “Jeeze,” he couldn’t help complaining, “Why’s it so c-cold?”

"Toby... HONESTLY, it's minus 20 degree's, OF COURSE IT'S COLD!" Kodi yelled, "Are you actually that stupid I have to teach you Weathering?".

-----------------------------------------------

When they got to the next town late one evening about five days after they started, they were a full day behind schedule. Toby was grateful that Kodi didn’t blame him, and glad for the chance to sleep in warmer quarters. However, he found himself resigned to sleeping in a cage at the vet’s office so he wouldn’t get the other dogs sick. ‘First I fail, now I’m quarantined!’ he thought with frustration. ‘How can it get any worse?!’

Just then he could hear noises frm the other room "Bip bip bip, Beep Beep Beep, Bip Bip Bip" and he could hear a man saying "Urgant message: SOS RMS Titanic sinking. Abandoning ship... MGY"

-----------------------------------------

“Dis frob a guy who whides aboud brogen toenails!” snapped Toby, but his nasal speech only made them laugh harder.

At that moment steet walked up to Toby and gave him a Warning sticker "No SMS" He said and walked off to his code office, with Luxy giggling in the background.

-------------------------------------

Meanwhile the musher had managed to pull out a gun and was trying to figure out what to do. With the way the bear was moving he couldn’t risk a shot to the head for fear of hitting Toby. “Blast it,” he hissed. "Yes!" Norik yelled. "BLAST IT!"

--------------------------------------------

The sled sped into town and didn’t stop until it reached the clinic. “Doctor!” called the musher, hopping off the sled and gently lifting Toby. “Doctor!”

At that time a man stood out of a Police telephone Box. "Who Me?" He asked grinning slightly.

---------------------------------------------

“Toby?” asked Luna, nuzzling his cheek. Toby didn’t respond. “Toby, if you die on me I’ll kill you,” she threatened.

Terry looked at Luna in confusion. "Thats confusing..." She said. "How can you-" She was interupted with that look on Luna's face. "Oh." She said.

----------------------------------------

“Well would you mind telling me why you didn’t warn me how much this thing would ITCH?!”

"Because Ichy Icherford never came to visit." She said.

------------------------------------------

‘But it’s not just my life that’s in my paws to change now.’ Toby looked back up at Charlie’s face. ‘It’s his life too. And he needs me more than I need the team.’ He looked at Alicia and placed one paw on Charlie’s knee, signifying his
