Balto Tales: Jenna's Untold Tale
Chapter II
December 31, 1921 09:12 a.m.
"What are we going to do today, Rosy?" Jenna asked excitedly. "I don't know, maybe we can explore the town!" Rosy said with excitement. Jenna jumped up and down in agreement and excitement. "Okay girl, let's go!" Rosy said, opening the door to let Jenna go through. The two left the driveway and went into town, "Wow, this is a small town! Where is the school?" Rosy asked. "What is School?" Jenna asked, tilting her head. Rosy motioned for Jenna to move her head closer, "It's the worst place in the world! The food tasted like dirt, and they make you sit in a room for 4 hours!" Rosy whispered in Jenna's ear. "*gasp* that sounds awful!" Jenna said. "It's worse than a kennel!" Rosy whispered. "Don't say the K word, I hate that word!" Jenna said.
Rosy chuckled. "Oh sorry. I won't say it again," Rosy said as she started to walk along. Rosy and Jenna both walked through the town and tried to find something to do, but there wasn't much to do since they just moved there. Rosy and Jenna both sat down in front of the library on the stairs. "What do you want to do?" Jenna asked as she looked at her human friend. Rosy sighed as she looked at Jenna. "I'm not sure. There's not much to do with this town." Rosy said as she rested her chin on her hand. "Do you want to build a snowman?" Jenna asked. Rosy sighed again and shook her head. "Nah, we can just do that at home," Rosy said looking down at the snow. Rosy then heard some dogs barking from this distance and what sounded like they were having some fun. "Hey lets go see what's going on with those dogs," Rosy said as she stood up and started to follow the sound of where the other dogs were. Jenna stood up and followed Rosy. Rosy and Jenna then stepped through a broken fence and saw some dogs pulling a man on a large sled. "Wow! I wonder what they're doing?" Jenna asked as she watched the sled being pulled by the adult dogs. "Hey, it looks like a sled team! Let's go watch Jenna!" Rosy said "What is a dog sled team?" Jenna asked, looking at the team of dogs. "It's a group of 1..2..3..4..5! 5 dogs who pull a person to a place far from here and back here!" Rosy said. "Sounds like fun! Maybe we can do that, what do you think?" Jenna asked. "I would, but we don't have a sled." Rosy said, looking at the ground. "We should get one then!" Jenna said. "I don't have any money, how are we supposed to go get one?" Rosy asked. "What's money?" Jenna asked. "It's like bones, they're what lets you get things." Rosy said. "How many moneys do we need to get a sled?" Jenna asked. "I don't know girl, let's go to the store and see how much it will be to build one!" Rosy said. Jenna barked and they left for the store. Rosy went in and called for the owner, "Sir? Is anyone here?" Rosy called out. "I'm back here, I'll be with you in a few minutes." The man said. The man entered the room shortly afterwards, "Alright, how can I help you two?" The man asked. "umm…we were wondering how much it would be for you to build us a sled?" Rosy asked. The man laughed, "Well, if you've got the money it'll be about $250, you'd better go get your parents to come down here, what's your name?" The man asked. "I'm Rosy, and this is my dog, Jenna, what's your name?" Rosy asked, holding her hand out for a shake. "Johnny, Johnny LeBrooke." Johnny said. "Nice to meet you Mr. Johnny!" Rosy said.
Rosy and Jenna both left the shop and started to make their way home. "I'm sure my parents can get us one if we ask," Rosy said as she walked beside. "Well you mean you ask," Jenna corrected as she looked up at Rosy. "Oh right," Rosy said with a laugh. Rosy and Jenna walked up to their house and noticed that Rosy's parents were both home. "Alright Jenna stay here and I'll go see what my parents will say about a sled," Rosy said said as she walked up the stairs to her house. Jenna nodded in response as she did what she was told and stayed on the porch of the house. "Mom! Dad!" Rosy called for her parents "in the kitchen sweetheart!" Rosy's mother said from the kitchen. Rosy then walked into the kitchen and sat down in a chair near to table. Both of Rosy's parents were preparing for dinner while Rosy was sitting down at the table. "Mom, Dad." Rosy said as she watched her parents make dinner. "Yes sweetheart?" Rosy's father asked. "Can I have a sled?" Rosy asked out loud. Jim looked at Claire and back at Rosy, "Where's this coming from all of a sudden, hun?" Jim asked, "Me and Jenna were exploring the town and we saw a sled dog team! It looked like fun and we wanted to try it out!" Rosy said with excitement. "Sweetheart, you aren't quite old enough to use a sled, you're only five, and we'd prefer to wait until you're at least Eight, it's too dangerous anyways, what if you fall and hit your head?" Jim said to Rosy, "Aww come on dad, please?" Rosy persisted. "Sorry hun, but I have to say no on this one, plus Jenna is still a puppy and won't be able to pull a sled until she's at least 3, sorry sweetie, but we wouldn't be able to afford it anyways." Jim said. Rosy was upset, but understood his reasoning, "Alright dad, I understand." Rosy said, walking out of the room with a pout. "I hate to see her so upset hun, but I don't want her getting hurt, plus all of the other junior sled members wouldn't exactly agree with this." Jim said, "You're right Jim, we'll get her a sled eventually, but now's not the time." Claire said. Rosy walked outside where Jenna was sitting, "So, what did they say?" Jenna asked excitedly, "They said we can't, you're not strong enough, and I'm not old enough." Rosy said. "Well we can make one ourselves can't we?" Jenna asked. "But I don't even know how to build one," Rosy said as she sat down next to Jenna. "Do you know anyone who could help us make one?" Jenna asked, Rosy sat there and thought hard for a moment. "Well my cousin and his dad live in town," Rosy said looking at Jenna. "Maybe they could help us build one," Jenna added. "Well maybe not my uncle Alan but maybe my cousin Thomas could help," Rosy stated. "Then it's settled!" Jenna said with joy as she jumped up from where she was sitting. "Okay then we'll go over there tomorrow after breakfast," Rosy said as she stood from the porch and started to walk up to the house. Jenna did the same, and everyone sat down at the dinner table, an awkward silence filled the air, "Hey dad, doesn't Thomas and Uncle Alan live around here?" Rosy asked. "Actually, I think they do, let me check the address book...yup, they live down near the boat wreck at the shore, you should be able to find them around there." Jim said. "Alright dad, it's just, you know I haven't seen Thomas in a while and thought I'd go talk with him while you guys are at work tomorrow." Rosy said, 'Well that'd be just fine, we might head down there after work too, we haven't seen them in a while either." Claire said, "Alright, me and Jenna will go down there tomorrow after breakfast!" Rosy said. "Well then you two had better go get some sleep, you'll probably do a lot with him tomorrow, so you'll need as much energy as you can get." Jim said. With that, Rosy and Jenna went upstairs and went right to sleep
