silent.
"Ok, I thinks its time the team get the medicine," Marina's musher said as he walked over to the two dogs.
"Ok, I'll get them all strapped up," said another teams musher.
"Here boy! Come on! Stash come on little bow wow!" the musher tried to convince Stash to come over to him. Stash looked at Marina and shrugged. Then, he walked over to the musher.
"Thats a good boy!" the musher said as he got a lead and collar out of his bag. Stash took a few steps back. He did'nt like the look of this.
"Come on! I wont bite!" the musher walked up to Stash and slipped the collar and lead around Stash's neck. Stash squirmed and tried to slip the collar off, but the musher fastened it so it would'nt come off. The musher led Stash towards the sledge and put the harness onto him quickly before taking the collar and leash off.
"Ok, the team's ready!" said the musher as he got onto the sled. Stash looked around. People were waving at him and the other sledge dogs. He then realised he was chosen as one of the sledge dogs to bring the medicine back to Nome.
"MUSH!" shouted the musher. All the dogs began running. Stash tried to slip his harness off, but he could'nt do it very well with the dogs running at the same time. Stash then remembered Balto was lead dog. He bit Balto's foot, making Balto fall over. Balto skidded towards a slope and the whole team started sliding down it.
"Easy boys!" the musher said. Balto tried to stop, but he could'nt. Just as he wasabout to fall of the edge of a cliff which was at the bottem of the slope, he stopped as oneof the sledge dogs yanked his harness back. Stash managed to slip his harness off. Balto took his harness off and walked over to Stash.
"Put your harness back on Stash," Balto said.
"NO! Your not the boss of me!" growled Stash. He pounced on Balto and they both begn fighting.
"Woah! Heel boys!" called the musher.
In no time at all, Stash and Balto found themselves rolling down the cliff. It was'nt long before they hit the ground. Balto got up and looked around. No sight of Stash. Then, Stash sprinted from behind Balto and landed on Balto's back. They both began rolling around in the snow, fighting eachother viciously.
"Balto? Are you alright?" called one of the sledge dogs from above the cliff. Balto quickly scrambled towards the cliff and began climbing. Stash was eager for revengance on Marina, and followed Balto. Balto tried climbing faster, but Stash was to fast. BITE! He bit Balto's tail and tried to pull him down the cliff. Balto kicked a heavy kick at Stash's face. Stash let go and began falling down the cliff. Balto climbd up a bit more and looked down. Not an inch of Stash's body moved. He climbed down the cliff and walked towards Stash. Stash still did'nt move. Balto felt the wind breeze across his face.
"BALTO! Come on! There's lives to save!" called the dogs. Balto grabbed Stash and put him on his back. Then, he climbed all the way up the cliff.
"Lay him down here boy!" said their musher. Balto layed Stash on the sledge. He then realised Stash was uncontious.
"Right.... MUSH!" said their musher as Balto put his harness back on.
"Here, you can rest in my bed for a while," Jenna offered Marina.
"Thank you Jenna," Marina said as she got into the basket.
"I'm going to check on Rosie," Jenna explained as she walked out of the room. Marina made herself comfortable in the basket. Jenna came to the hospital window and starred at Rosie. Rosie was coughing even more than last time, and she looked very pale. Then Jenna looked at Rosie's parents. They had tears in their eyes. Jenna knew if the medicine did'nt show up soon, she would lose Rosie forever!
Later that night, the sledge team were awaiting a dangerous surprise.
"I'm hungry!" whined one of the sledge dogs. He stopped a couple of times before walking again.
"How much further Balto?" asked another.
"Not sure, but the smell of Nome is strong. So I say we're pretty close!" Balto sniffed the air.
"What was that sound?" asked another dog shaking with fear.
"What sound I did'nt hear nothing...." said another
"Shhhh... Listen..." Balto said. They all listened carefully. A twig snapped. Then footsteps came thudding towards them, making them all quite scared. Balto gasped, a bear roared and swung its paw towards them. Balto quickly jumped out of his harness and avoided the attack. The other sled dogs went flying from the bears scratch. It looked at Balto and began walking towards him.
"Huh?" Stash said as he woke up. He looked around, everywhere he looked dogs were laying on the floor hurt. He then spotted Balto, about to get hit by the bear. When a familiar voice came from the tree's.
"STASH!" called the voice. The bear looked up. Marina was limping towards Stash. Stash looked at the bear, it had its paw in the air. OH NO! Stash sprinted towards Marina, getting in the way of the bears attack. WHINE! Stash fell to the ground, a big scratch scarred his back.
"STASH!" cried Marina.
"Look out!" Balto called. Stash looked up. The bear was about to attack him. Balto dashed towards the bears attack.
"BALTO! NO!" yelled Stash. Balto thudded to the ground.
"You saved my life!" Stash was shocked.
"Yeah, I supose I did!" Balto laughed.
"Balto, all of the dogs are hurt. What are we going to do?" asked Stash. Balto looked around.
"Gather them up!" Balto said. Stash did as he was told. Soon they were all laying in one heap.
"Thats not exactly what I had in mind..." Balto said.
"Come on Balto! We have medicine to get!" Stash smiled.
"We have already retrieved it..." Balto said. Stash looked around. Then, he spotted the medicine.
"THE BEAR!" cried Stash he looked around again. No bear in sight. Then, he quickly ran to the medicine and dragged it onto the sledge.
"We ar'nt going to carry that on the sled..." Balto said. He got up, trying not to stumble to the floor again.
"What do you mean?" asked Stash.
"Help me put the dogs on the sledge.... Wait.... THE MUSHER!" cried Balto. He looked around, the musher was lying in the snow under a tree.
"I'll put the dogs onto the sledge, you get the musher!" Stash said. Balto nodded and ran towards the musher. Grabbing hold of the mushers cloths, Balto dragged the musher towards the sledge.
"We'de better hurry! That bear could be back any minute.
"Marina, get onto the sledge!" Stash said as he puthis harnes on. Balto did the same.
"Lets go save some children!" Stash looked back. Balto nodded to say he was ready.
"I hope Rosies alright..." Balto whispered to himself as he started running.
After a long journey, Balto and Stash arrived at Nome. People crowded around and cheered. Steele growled jelously. Balto was twice the hero he was before!
"BALTO!" Jenna called.
"JENNA!" Balto cried back. The couple ran to eachother and hugged. Stash smiled happily and turned towards Marina. They both began hugging just like Balto and Jenna.
"JENNA! JENNA!" shouted the cheerful voice of Rosie. Jenna barked joyfully and ran to a fully recovered Rosie. Stash looked around. All the happy faces made him grin. Mabe he could be a hero JUST like Balto!
THE END!
