he doesn't give into the fox's fun time the fox gets impatient. Then looks back to see the wolf sitting just out of sight of the humans. "Why don't you chase me? I know you don't like me but I like you. And if you want me gone.....you'll have to chase me down and kill me. Hehehehe......" The fox chuckles knowing if he makes one false move he will be hunted himself by the locals. "Well you'll have to find better ways of tricking me. I've learned all your little games and tricks it's not even funny," He explains with a frustrated voice.
Not far from their current location Balto gets yet another cold chill down his back. He then begins to conclude that these feelings must mean the stranger must be in need of a listening ear. But Jenna has noticed Balto's cold chill again and says, "What do these cold chills mean? I'm getting worried about you. Maybe this wolf is not a good influence." "No...no it's nothing but I think when I get these feelings he is in need of help." "Oh...uh....ok go then," She tells Balto worrying that the wolf is getting in between her and Balto's quality time together and lowers her ears as she watches him run down the street and turns her back to continue down the street to find Rosy and catch up.
Balto then as he runs down the street as he approaches the location at which Jikynchu and the fox's conversation is taking place he arrives and interrupts their bickering. The stranger then looks at Balto and lowers his ears and Balto in response asks, "Hey whats going on here?" The fox then says, "Hey aren't you surprised to see a wolf in town?" Then chuckles mischieviously. "Well we have already met. But what are you doing here?" Balto asks with suspiscion. "Well I came here looking for him. He always sneaks away from me but I always always always find him hehehehe," The fox says in response. "Yes thats because he has been tormenting me for two years now! He won't leave me alone! I hate you fox! He needs to be taught a lesson," The stranger growls with anger. Balto then tells the stranger, "But nothing is solved with violence. It only causes dishonor. Do you really want to risk your reputation over a small nuisance?" The stranger then thinks about his past and remembers something that causes him to say, "You're right. I can't risk a good reputation but that fox is not a small nuisance. He has followed me everywhere trying to get me into trouble." Balto then looks at the fox. In response to the stare down the fox then says, "But he always. Eh? Always. Um......He started it!" Balto then sees this as a sibling rivalry like situation and asks, "Hey fox you like having fun and being chased or running with excitement right?" "Well.....yeah!" He said with excitement and his ears up ready for fun. "Then I have just the thing for you....." Balto says with confidence and adds, "Follow me. You too eh? What's your name?" as he begins walking down the alleyway knowing if he were to follow him around town the locals will freak out. The stranger then sighs and says, "My name is Jikynchu," and follows Balto along side his tormentor out side of town.
They then pass by Balto's boat house and end up coming to the two white bundles of energy we all know as Muk and Luk. "Balto then calls to them saying, "Muk! Luk! I want you to meet someone!" "Balto!" They yell in response and hyped up to see him. They then like always hug and smother Balto in furry excitement. "Ok! Ok! let me go now..." As they let him go hethen begins introducing the fox, "Muk? Luk? This is fox. He likes having fun almost as much as you do. And me and my friend Jikynchu are a bit tired of him always trying to play when it's not a good time to play. So I was thinking he could play with you! Would you like that fox?" The fox is then hyped up on the offer and yells excitedly, "Yes! Yes! Oh Yes! I would love to play with them. They seem like a barrel of....eh? ME! Ahahahahaha!" "Balto then asks for confirmation, "Well Muk? Luk? Would you like to play with him?" "Sure Balto! He looks like he will make a good tag player!" And they both agree. Balto then says, "Ok you guys have fun..." And the three new friends go running off into the snow. "There...your problem solved. It's a good thing I knew the most rowdy polar bears in town hahaha!" Balto explains to Jikynchu with confidence. "Oh....well thank you. I never thought I would get rid of him that way. You really know how to handle situations like that." "It was my pleasure. Are you ok? He did seem to get on your nerves," Balto asks with concern about Jikynchu's recently past aggitated state. "Yes I am truly honored you would do this for a stranger like myself," Jikynchu replies with relief. "Well I am the local hero in town. I was once an outcast like yourself but was accepted when I saved the town," Balto explains in response to Jikynchu's suggesting Balto is a great mentor. "Well it's getting late so I'll seeyou later I have to go tell my mate good night. I'll see you later!" Balto yells as he runs back into town.
When he gets to Rosie's residence he barks to get Jenna's attention and she then comes outside to ask in an upset voice, "Where have you been?" Balto then asks in confusion, "What? Aren't......aren't you glad to see me?" "Yes but I am getting worried about you. I don't want you seeing that wolf again!" "What? Why?!" Balto asks with confusion. "Well I'm....I'm afraid...." She suggests as she sits and looks down at the ground. "Afraid? Afraid of what?" he asks with concern. "Afraid you are going to forget," She suggests. "Forget? About what?" He asks in confusion. "Forget about me......" Jenna explains as she begins to shed tears. "What? That's Ridiculous. I will never forget about you.........I love you," he tells her with honesty. "But you keep leaving me to see him. He is all you think about! I'm always having to wait for you and everytime I look back to see you're not there to follow! I'm just worried you've forgotten," Jenna suggests to Balto in freezing tears. "No....no.....No! I will never forget about you. Every time I leave your side I always think about you before I even leave. But this wolf is in need of help. I'm the only one fit to help him. I am part wolf after all. Don't worry. I won't leave.....I won't leave," Balto assures Jenna as he Nuzzles Jenna and then locks his neck around hers trying to reenforce his honest words.
Nearby Jikynchu is hearing everything and decides to leave town before he interferes in Balto's personal life anymore but also realizes he has to give up his relationship with Balto. But Balto is already having another cold chill in physical contact with Jenna and she realizes what it means and she pulls away from under Balto and looks at him with a sad face and runs inside crying a river. Balto then decides to ignore the feeling and goes home to the boat and lies down with the thought of Jenna's feeling being hurt with tears going down his face. And finally falls asleep.
He then finds himself in another dream. In this particular dream he sees himself with Jenna at the same snow clearing as his first dream. They are both lying in the snow with a new pup with black fur. But this pup is obviously not a wolf dog and doesn't look like him or Jenna. He then realizes the pup is a wolf pup. But then the pup gets up and runs off into the distance and Jenna gets up and goes the opposite direction and she looks at him and he notices a tear running down her face. He then looks back at the wolf pup but instead is surprised to see Jikynchu as he looks back at him as well with tears running down his face as well and all of a sudden Balto finds himself falling into darkness and lands on his boat house and all of a sudden he wakes up with his blood racing and looks up to see Aniu and she places her paw upon his forehead and says, "Both are in need. You now see what you will become," And Balto then looks down in worry. And looks up to Aniu for more guidance but raises his head to see she is gone again. He then is very worried and looks up to the sky and asks, "What does that mean?! Mother! I can't be alone again! No! Nooooooooooooo!" He then looks down at the boat floor and begins crying. He then thinks to himself that he can change this. He can set things right. And decides he must first see Jenna and goes into town.
When he comes to Rosie's home window he begins barking to get Jenna's attention saying, "Jenna! I need to talk to you!" She then looks out the window at him but then decides to lie back down and ignores him. He then says, "I had another dream! In the dream you left me!" She then lifts her ears in worry and Balto finally has her full attention and goes out to discuss it with him. "Balto what do you mean I'm leave you in your dream?" She asks with intense worry. "You know what I mean......" He explains and looks down to begin crying a river like she did the night before. "I didn't actually consider leaving you. I was worried you were going to leave me. Tell me more about your dream," She insisted. "Well in my dream we are in the snow clearing we were going to have our family gathering the other day. And we were lying in the snow with a pup." "A pup? But we haven't done anything to get pregnant in a while!" She explains with concern. "Yes I know...But this one was different. This was a wolf pup," Balto explained with great nervousness. "Oh....but then what happened?" "Well the pup went running across the snow and you got up the and went the other way and you both looked back at me crying and The pup was actually the wolf I've been seeing. The one you keep thinking I am going to stay with and forget about you and then I fell into darkness alone. And when I woke up my mother told me youand he need me and that my dream shows what I will become. Alone...........again" Balto explained. "Oh Balto.....I will never leave you. But if you really must see this wolf. I can't stop you. But remember I'll always be hear beside you," She explains as she nuzzles him and thinks to herself, "If he must do this
