The Return of Aleu

A/N: I know that Mother's Day has passed, but this idea just randomly came to my head. I decided to share this with all of you.

It was a nice day in the day in the island. The sun was shining bright and the wind was giving a nice breeze. There was one problem though. Aleu sat down looking at the sea thinking about how much she missed her father. Aleu was happy to be the leader of the pack, but she also felt really homesick. She missed everything back in Nome.

She sighed when she heard someone walking towards her.

"Hey. Are you all right?" said Nuk.

"Yeah. I think so." Aleu replied.

"Are you sure? You don't look okay to me." Yak said walking toward her too. "I can sense that you must be feeling sick."

"You're right" Aleu said. "I do feel very homesick.

"And doesn't everyone miss their family when they're homesick?" Sumac said approaching her.

"That's true." Aleu said glumly.

The trio stared at her sympathetically for they felt bad for her. Aleu wasn't the same anymore after she started to realize how much she wanted to go back to her home just to see her family one more time.

Aleu then stood up and walked around taking a look at the new island she was at. She felt like she belonged here, but somewhere deep down inside tells her that it's not.

She sighed again. "I wish I could see my family again. If only I could come back just one more time." she said quietly.

Just when all hope was lost, Aleu looked and was surprised to see that the ice path was starting to form again. She then quickly ran past the whole pack and told them to meet her together.

When the whole pack gathered around her, Aleu told them that she would be gone for a week. Murmurs went through the pack as she was speaking to them. Aleu told them that she hopes they will be safe while she leaves them.

As the ice blocks got close together, the pack divided to form a line for Aleu to get through. As Aleu was starting to walk down the path, all the wolves said their 'good-byes' and 'thank-yous' to her.

When Aleu finally got to the other side, she began to run back to her hometown. She kept sniffing to keep on the trail and make sure she wouldn't get lost.

Aleu finally made it to the town of Nome. She started to walk down town to look for her mother and father. As she was walking by, she saw posters saying HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY. She wondered if maybe she could do something nice for her mom.

Aleu continued to looked to look for her parents when she suddenly saw a flower shop nearby. She decide to take a look. She got really amazed by how colorful the flowers were. She then noticed a bouquet of roses sitting on the side. Aleu looked around to make sure no one was looking. Then, she grabbed the roses with her mouth and sneakily walked away.

She thought these would be perfect for her mom because it matched her color. She sniffed again, and caught a scent, a very familiar scent. She stopped at a house and looked through the door. It was Jenna sleeping inside. Aleu knew this was the perfect chance. She slowly walked up to Jenna and looked at her sleepy eyes.

"Mom?" Aleu said.

Jenna stirred as she started to wake up. When she opened her eyes, she thought she was hallucinating. Then, she rubbed her eyes and saw that it was Aleu standing in front of her.

"Aleu! Is that you?" Jenna said in shock.

"Yep. Happy mother's day." Aleu said dropping the flowers.

Jenna was surprised seeing Aleu and her kind gesture.

"It really is you!" Jenna said jumping in joy. "You haven't changed a bit." She then looked at the flowers on the ground. "Are those for me?"

"Yeah." Aleu said awkwardly. "I wanted to give you something since I was visiting."

Jenna bent down and sniffed the roses.

"Oh. Roses are my favorite." Jenna said softly. "These smell so good. Thank you.

Aleu was glad to hear that.

"It's about time you came you came back." a familiar voice called out.

Aleu jerked her head in that direction and gave a big smile when she saw Balto standing at the door. She ran towards him and they nuzzled each other.

"It's so good to see you back Dad." Aleu said happily.

"Yeah. Me too." Balto said.

The whole family was finally together again.

THE END

HAPPY LATE MOTHER'S DAY EVERYONE!
