Great News
It was a cold snowy morning in Nome; the flowers were covered in a blanket of snow, the birds were in the nests, and there was no sign of light in miles. The sun finally awoke after 15 hours of sleep.
Kodi and Dusty were both asleep on her bed. Kodi had spent the night with Dusty often now, "Mornin Dust,"
"morning Kodi," Dusty said rubbing her eyes on his neck, "wait a minute, it's Saturday,"
"Oh no the," Kodi shouted
"The team, we're late for the run!" Dusty reminded. They both bolted out of door and ran to the sled. They made it right on time.
Meanwhile
"Mom, Dad!" Kiona shouted
"Kiona, how was Anchorage?" Balto asked
"Great," Kiona said with excitement
"Did you meet anyone?" Jenna asked with sarcasm
"Like who?" Kiona asked
"Like Oh I don't know? A new friend," Jenna asked with even more sarcasm
"No, no one like that," Kiona said figuring out what her mom was trying to say, "Did anything happen while I was gone?"
"No, but there was something," Balto said
"What?" Kiona asked
"Oh nothing really; Saba's owner got a job, the butcher was promoted, Kodi getting a girlfriend," Balto listed
"Kodi got a girlfriend? Who?" Kiona asked curiosly
"One of his friends from his team," Jenna answered
"Dusty," Kiona asked
"How do you Know?" Balto asked
"She is the only girl on the team, it is obvious." Kiona answered, "Where is Kodi?"
"On his run," Balto said
"Oh well where is everyone else?" Kiona asked
"In the Mill," Jenna said
"Oh, I'll see them," Kiona said walking to the Mill
Back at the sled, " I'm glad we made it on time," Dusty said walking with Kodi
"Yeah, I don't know what would happen if you hadn't remembered." Kodi said putting his head on Dusty. They walked to Dusty's house until Balto came up to him and said, "Kodi, Kiona is back and she is in the Mill."
"Really," Kodi asked," Dusty, I'll be back later." Kodi said running in the direction to the mill.
