Balto Retold
Chapter 1: Winter Has Come
Disclaimer: All OCs belong to me. Everyone else belongs to Universal.
A/N: First of all, I would like to give credit to Elise Lowing's Land Before Time Retold series and the cover image above for giving me inspiration to write this fanfic. This wouldn't have been possible without the so-far popularity that I have right now. So, I am writing this story as a bonus for you to read.
It was a snowy morning in Minnesota. Everything was quiet for nobody wanted to go outside for the day. It was snowing outside, and Richard was looking through the window. His face was pressed to the glass as he was amazed by how snowy his front yard and how icy the road was while the snowplow was passing by.
Richard was a 10-year old boy with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a cute face. He was excited for his first day of winter break. He couldn't wait to plan all the things to do during the holidays. Fortunately, he didn't have time to worry about that because someone was calling him.
"Richard!" his mom yelled loudly.
"What?" Richard said.
"It's time to eat." she replied back.
"Okay." he said.
Richard went to the dining table to join up with his mom and dad. He was an only child, and he sometimes wished that he had a brother or at least the best friend ever. Richard has a ton of friends at school, but he felt like there was something more than just having friends at school. He just didn't know what it might be.
He continued to eat his breakfast while his mom was using her phone with his dad reading the Sunday newspaper.
"Wow! The Golden State Warriors won pretty fair and square didn't they." his dad said excitedly.
"Yeah Bob. I knew they were going to win anyway because other teams were trash." his mom said. "By the way, what are you going to do with the steak you made? It's been sitting in the fridge for days!" his mom said sternly.
"Honey, I know that. We'll figure out what to do later. Okay, Mary?" Bob said.
"Fine. Whatever. Just keep it out of my sight." Mary said.
Richard was amused watching his parents talking about ridiculous things. He asked to be excused and he was. Richard put on his winter gear and went outside to play in the snow. He built a snowman, a snow fort, and a big ammo of snowballs.
"Die you stupid snowman!" he shouted as he repeatedly kept throwing snowballs at the snowman.
He threw all of the snowballs at the snowman while hiding behind the fort occasionally, but the snowman was still standing.
"Fine! I guess I'll do it the hard way." he said softly.
He ran up to the snowman, kicked it down, and started to jump on it many times. Richard enjoyed what he was doing, but didn't know what was coming next.
