Synopsis: Kiona and Aleu never liked each other, ever since they were puppies. Balto is fed up with their fighting and makes them get along. How will the two sisters cope?
Author's Note: KIONA IS MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! However, any event in this story NEVER HAPPENED. ESPECIALLY, with Kiona! Never in “real” life does Kiona ever like Aleu! Don’t bother asking me why, she just DOESN’T. So keep in mind, THIS FANFIC IS FAKE (for kiona)
“Ugh! Aleu, if you howl ONE MORE TIME, I’m gonna—“
“You’re just jealous cuz my singing is better than yours,” Aleu replied to her sister, Kiona, sticking up her nose.
“You call that singing?! More like excruciating pain!” Kiona spat.
“That’s enough out of you two,” their father exclaimed, coming in between them, glaring at them.
Aleu and Kiona were both almost a year old now, but they were still very young. They were both fast learners, like their other siblings, but they have not learned to be nice to each other.
Balto tried keeping the two apart whenever they were angry, but since Aleu always stayed with him, she was always there when Kiona decided to be a good daughter and visit.
“Your brothers didn’t nearly argue as much,” Balto sighed.
“Yeah, right!” Aleu snorted. “Dakota beat up Dingo all the time!” It was true, the two brothers did fight, but it was always Dakota beating Dingo, because Dakota was the oldest pup and Dingo was the runt. The two were adopted to families, only Dingo lived far away.
Balto ignored her. “Kiona, does Thomas expect you home tonight?” Thomas was Kiona’s owner. Before, Balto and Jenna called her Una, but the name that Thomas gave her stuck.
Kiona looked at her father and sat down, her head lowered. Kiona respected her father because she was afraid of him for some reason. “Uh…no. But he will expect me in the morning…he’s training me to be a race dog.”
“Ok, that’s fine.” He replied. He looked at Aleu. “I know you don't have anything important going on. And I’m tired of the two of you arguing all the time, so you two are going to stay on this boat, alone, and talk things through. I’ll be back by morning.” Balto started to leave. “Don’t kill each other until I get back.” And he jumped from his boat and headed into town. He met Boris just outside of the boat.
“You think this’ll work?” Balto asked the old goose.
“I doubt it,” he replied simply.
The two sisters groaned in frustration simultaneously and sat on opposite ends of the boat. They stayed that way until evening when the sun began to set. Kiona being the more stubborn of the two wasn’t budging for an agreement. Aleu sighed to herself. Maybe since she’s the older sister, she should play peace-keeper.
She rose from her spot and sauntered to her sister. Kiona was aware of her presence, but still had more of an interest for the scenery.
Aleu cleared her throat. “I’m sure you’re as bored as I am, so why don’t we come to an understanding?”
“What understanding?” Kiona asked, glaring at her sister. “An understanding that you don’t know what ‘no’ means and are the most annoying creature I’ve ever met?”
“Me, annoying?” Aleu exclaimed. “At least I’m not crazy!”
“You think I’m crazy? You’re the one who’s obsessed with their own identity!”
“Are you calling ME fanatical?” Aleu bared her teeth.
“What was your first clue, Aleu?” Kiona smirked.
“Grr! I do not hafta take this!” Aleu shouted. “I’ve no need to listen to someone as insane as you! You’re so brutal for no reason!”
“Call me crazy again, and I’ll show you why I’m so brutal!”
Hope you like it so far! If I get enough comments from the particular crowd I'm looking for, I'm going to post the finished project soon. Stay tuned!
