Chapter 1: A Walk with Jenna

Jenna and Balto walked up to the woods. It was a was a warmer day than usual but the snow was still refusing to melt. A light breeze ruffled their fur as the trudged slowly up the hill. The Snow glistened in a beautiful sort of way.

"Its a beautiful day isn't it Balto?" said Jenna

"Almost as beautiful as you" replied Balto in a flirting sort of way.

"Oh Balto" replied Jenna, nuzzling his neck. "You are the most amazing dog i has ever met."

Balto smiled at his husky girlfriend.

They got to the forest. The trees were standing as tall as mountains, their forms casting large shadows over the glistening snow and turning the forest into a dazzling show of light and dark. They eventually reached the lake where Balto had triumphed against the brute force of a grizzly bear but had also fallen under the ice, the place where Luk and Muk had pulled him out of the freezing water and the place where Balto and Jenna first bonded properly. This was the place which both of them admired most. The sun danced over the ice on the lake.

"Do you remember when we beat that grizzly?" said Balto.

"Of course i do" said Jenna. "I remember that promise to bring the medicine back, i remember how i gave you my bandana and you looked into my eyes as if i had given you the key to life."

They laid down on a rock overlooking the icy lake. They nuzzled each other as the lay in the snow.

"I love you Balto" said Jenna.

"I love you too" replied Balto.

"It looks like it might be a cold night tonight" said Jenna as they watched the sun slowly sink under the horizon. "Would you like to come to mine tonight?"

"I would love to" replied Balto.

With that they started walking back to Nome.
