when he was a pup
Lucy smiled and looked down at her 6 beautiful new pups. Libby, Lexi, Tucker, Pepper, Oscar and Roscoe.
"They Are beautiful, aren't they?" Lucy whispered to Zues, her mate who was looking expressionless at the pups.
"mmhhmm." He answered blankly and turned away.
"What is It?" Lucy asked standing up and walking next to him. Zues didnt move.
"Nothing." he breathed and stood, "I have to go...hunt."
"Well, okay if you must." Lucy responded. Zues hunted alot but he was always hungrier than her too. Zues was A wolf and Lucy was husky which made their needs very different. Zues was Gone all night and Lucy began to worry, she couldnt go search for him becuase she had 6 hungry babies to look after. she figured he would be back the next morning, but he wasnt. He never came back. ever. Lucy's first litter was sold involuntarily by her owner to a musher named Hank, and she was left alone.

Everyday life
Roscoe blinked his eyes open and adjusted them to the light peering through the window, he stood and stretched and let out a giant long-awaited yawn and smacked his lips.
"Its about time you woke up, the lawn mower act was getting old." scoffed his sister Libby.
"But quite a well put together performance, I might add, Bro." added Tucker. They both laughed and Roscoe sat and blinked a few more times trying to get the sleep out of his system.
"What time are we running today?" Roscoe asked, his voice sounding flat and scratchy.
"Same as always." Libby said.
Roscoe could see clearly now and glanced around the cabin, he had slept on his bed underneath the window like always.
"Where are the others?" Roscoe asked.
"Downstairs waiting to be hooked up, you know how much they love to run." laughed Tucker.
"Yeah." Roscoe laughed too.
"Especially Lexi." they all said together.
"Roscoe, Tuck, Libb, Come on!" It was hanks voice calling from outside. Roscoe stood and walked into the kitchen and out the dog door with Libby and Tucker behind him. Roscoe went to his usually lead position next to Lexi and waited to get hooked up.
"Hey sleeping beauty. your up." Lexi laughed seeing as she was already hooked up.
"Shut up, sis." Roscoe said under his breath as he was hooked up.
They were all hooked up now and before Hank yelled mush, Roscoe turned to Lexi and smiled.
"Besides, you could use some beauty sleep." He chuckled and took off at 'mush.'
Lexi growled playfully and tried to go faster than him and passed him for a second, but Roscoe sped up and they were even again. Lexi was very competitive and Roscoe...well, he just liked to tick her off.
"Slow down!" shouted Pepper behind Roscoe. Roscoe and Lexi slowed down quickly and came into town, Kids were everywhere, laughing and giggling and people were selling and talking.
"Woa!" shouted Hank and they all stopped infront of a Diner. Hank walked up and unhooked each individual dog. The team was allowed by Hank (who got the Mayors permission) to roam free around Nome, as long as they didnt cause any trouble. Roscoe was unhooked last and trotted forward.
"Hey bro! wanna come see some babes in the Boiler Room?" he heard Tucker ask behind him. Roscoe turned to see Tucker and Oscar eager, behind him.
"No thanks guys. Im just gonna, I dont know. Something else." Roscoe Responded and trotted forward again. He walked pass an alleyway next to the Butchers shop and heard loud angry barking followed by the butchers voice.
"You mutt! Bring that back! Thief!!"
Roscoe ran into the alley and saw something red hop the fence. He followed the Red something quickly and much quicker jumped over its head and slid around infont of it, snarling.
"Thief." he snarled. He looked at the Red thing now, why...it wasnt a thing it was a dog. A female.
"I only steal what I need!" She snarled back fiercely. She was pretty, but pretty scary. Roscoe knew she couldnt hurt him though.
"It doesnt make it right!" Roscoe growled.
"Back down Dog." she growled stepping forward.
"What did you call me?"
"Dog."
"I am Roscoe, son of Lucy and Zues-who happens to be a wolf."
"I am Adelia, daughter of Jenna and Balto-who was part wolf."
Roscoes face went blank. THE BALTO? the hero? Roscoe knew that Balto had died a long time ago and was puzzled.
"How?" he whispered
"Second litter." she answered with a snarl still in her voice.
"I have better food." Roscoe said quickly changing the subject.
"Oh really, and you would offer me some?" she asked.
"Yes, If you give the steak back." he answered looking at the stolen steak. Adelia nodded and picked up te steak and hopped back over the fence, Roscoe followed. She set it on the steps and began to walk away.
"Wheres your pretty house?" Adelia asked sarcasticly
"This way." answered Roscoe leading her to it.
