The sun rose on Nome once again, and a certain black and white malamute as well.

Steele had just awoken from a wonderful dream. A dream where he had Jenna, and not Balto. Sadly he was back in the real world now, and thus he was mateless again.

It had been a few years since the events of the the medicene issue with Rosie and the other human children who were sick with the deadly disease.

And in that time Balto and Jenna had become mates, and had Aleu, Kodi, Dingo, and there other puppies.

Steele was mostly hated by the other dogs in Nome now for trying to foil Baltos plans to get the medicine back to Nome. All over a girl dog that just wasn't into him.

Sure he'd try flirtting and with other girl dogs, yet they'd either shoot him down, or they just wouldn't be as special as Jenna was.

Yet that all changed one day.

Steele was walking around Nome one day trying to act all dominant and sexy, if anything his whole episode with Batlo only fueled him to try harder to be the top dog.

"He even got in that mail sled veusus the bush plane race," Steele said feeling envy towards the half wolf canine. "That shouldv'e been m..."

Steele's mind was so full of Balto that he didn't notice the red and white husky in front of him

"Oof," he and the other dog said

Steele got up and looked at the dog

"Huh? No, that can't be. She's to young. Yet..." Steele thought seeing that this dog looked so much like Jenna.

"You should watch were you're going mister," the the young female dog said getting up as well

"Saba," a voice called

The red and white husky rolled her eyes "Not him again,"

"Saba?" Steele said to himself

"Hey Saba," another husky said walking up to pretty dog girl. He had dark brown fur with a gray underbelly, and red eyes.

"Dan I told you no," Saba said

"Aww c'mon little doggy," Dan said "Don't fight it, it's the power of love,"

Saba kicked up some snow and it splatter Dans face

"Oh so you wanna play hard to..."

Just then Steele got in front of Saba

"She said no," Steele said

"Geez," Dan said "Saba you're dumping me for this oldhound?"

"Dumped? We never even dated," Saba said

"Fine old timer," Dan said "You wanna go? Bring it!"

With that Dan and Steele fought it out, clawing and bitting at eachother. Dan was young, yet Steeles drive to be better than Balto had done wonders for his body and he beat Dan with ease.

"This ain't over punk!" Dan said

Steele growled. Dan ran off with his tail between his legs.

"And never bother this dog again," Steele barked

Suddenly the malamute felt a kiss on his cheek

"Thank you for saving mister..." Saba began

"Steele," the malamute said

"Steetle," Saba said "I'm..."

"Saba," Steele said

"Are you okay?" Saba said

"I'll be fine, I've beeen though worse," Steele said

"Really?" Saba said

"Ya," Steele said "I once fell off a cliff cause of this jerky mutt,"

"Wow," Saba said "Why'd someone do that?"

Yet before Steele could utter another word

"Saba," another voice said

"Oh, that's my owner," Saba said

"Oh," Steele said "I'll...see you around then?"

"Sure," Saba said "We could hang out in the forest at the outskirts of town and have beef jerky. It the least I can do for saving me from that jerk Dan,"

"Then it a..."

"Saba come girl," the owners voice said again

"Oh, later Steele," Saba said

"Saba," Steele said again, as he looked at the beautiful husky that remined him so much of the one that got away.
