"Dad, I need to tell you something...no that's no good. Hmm...Dad I know...no that's even worse...I...It's...Gah! I can't do this!" Nalu fell to the floor and put his paws over his eyes. Kodi sighed and looked up from his place on the platform. "Either way you say it he's still gonna take it badly." Nalu lifted a paw. "I thought you were here for support." Kodi shrugged. "It's true." Nalu sighed. "How did you tell Mom and Dad?" He looked away. "I uh...I haven't told them yet..." Nalu's eyes widened at his brother. "What? You didn't tell them?!" Kodi looked sheepishly at him. "It was right after Dakota said anything that I even realized it and if I'd told Dad then he would've hated me." Nalu flattened his ears and looked at the floor. "Maybe I shouldn't tell them..." Kodi shook his head. " No you should, if you don't you'll get stuck like I was." Nalu perked his ears up. "Was? You and Dusty broke up?" He nodded. "Yeah, I felt like I was using her so I just decided to let go." Nalu frowned. "I'm sorry." "Don't be, it's not your fault." he got up and started to walk out of the shed. "C'mon, lets get this over with."

They came up to the old shipwrecked boat that was their father's home and were about to go in when they heard yelling from inside. "Papa! That isn't fair! I want them to see my home too! We'll be back within a season!" "No Aleu! That's far too long!" "Two moons then." "I said no! Your mother would never approve!" Said husky padded up to stand beside her sons who were at the edge of the boat. "Actually I think it's a good idea. Don't you boys?" Balto and Aleu came to the edge of the boat and looked over. "Jenna?" she smiled. "Balto, I think our pups are old enough to choose things like this on their own." He glared. "But-" "Let's get Saba, Dingo, and Dakota here first then we can all discuss this as a family." she suggested.

An hour later they were all gathered, along with a reddish and white wolf that had accompanied Aleu. Nalu couldn't help but glance at him every now and then. "So...Aleu wants to show us her home?" Saba asked. Jenna nodded. "Yes, and I think it would be a wonderful idea. A chance for her to show her new home to her family." Dakota shrugged. "Sounds good to me." Dingo nodded as did Saba and Kodi. "What do you think Nalu?" Aleu smiled at their youngest sibling. "Uh...y-yeah...sounds...fun..." he flattened his ears, cursing his shyness. Aleu wagged her tail happily. "Great! So we'll leave tomorrow then!" Balto just glared at the floor of his home.

"Um...Aleu?" the half wolf looked at her brother. "Yeah Nalu?" he looked at his paws and swished his tail nervously. "W-who's the wolf you brought?" She smiled and looked over at the red and white wolf who was currently talking to their mother. "His name is Amox. I offered him to be beta but he refused. He's really nice. Why do you ask?" she gave him a sly look. He blushed and hunched lower. "N-no reason..." She giggled. "You should go talk to him. He's been noticing you noticing him an awful lot." he blushed harder and mumbled, "Maybe..."

"Hey, mind if I sleep here?" Nalu's eyes widened and he looked up to see Amox above him. He stood up in a rush, almost hitting Amox, and tripping over his own paws. "Um...uh...y-yes. I mean no! I d-don't think, I mean! I don't mind...um...no its fine..." Amox smiled at the flustered young half breed and flicked his shoulder with his tail. "Easy boy, calm down." Nalu blushed and laid down again. "Sorry..." he mumbled. Amox laid down beside him and chuckled. "It's alright. I don't bite." he winked. "So, you're a sled dog too?" Nalu flattened his ears. "Um no that's just my siblings...I don't really have a home anymore..." he looked away. Amox blinked in surprise. "Oh I'm sorry to hear that. Where do you live?" "In town." he yawned. "I live under the town hall." his eyes began to droop. Amox nodded and touched his nose to Nalu's forehead. "Go to sleep," he urged. "We've got a long walk tomorrow." Nalu nodded and closed his eyes.
