Chapter 2: The Race

I sat outside the wood shop as today was Rosy's birthday. Her parents brought her a sled, which later she hooked Jenna and I too. Me and Jen were hooked side by side.

"Mush Jenna, Mush Sherise" cried Rosy

Jenna and I looked at each other and took off running.

"Whoa girls"

"Good morning Jenna" Dixie, a pomeraian

I growled, I never really liked her and the hound, Sylvie.

"Ought to be a close race, don't you think? Maybe even neck and neck"

I rolled my eyes and said before the hound did "Say something about her collar"

Earning a glare from Sylvie and Dixie, Jenna said "What a pretty collar. Is it new?"

"What, this old thing? Yeah Do you think um, Steele will notice?"

I laughed and said "The only way Steele notices anyone is if they are wearing a mirror"

We stopped on the sidelines.

"Stay girls" said Rosy as she walked off a bit

We sat and took the reins from the sled off and looked out to see a very handsome wolf-dog.

"Come on Steele"

I looked and saw the wind snatch my girl's hat. Before I knew Balto had ran in the race and got Rosy's hat in time before that monster smashed it.

"Balto! What a crazy thing to do! Just to show off for some pretty girls"

I blush as Balto smiled at me, but turned his attention to my sister. I should be jealousy, but I'm not.

"I'm sure they would love to have you on their team"

"Hey hey hey! Rosy, stay away from him!" yelled our girl's father as he kicks snow at Balto

I pinned my ears as I watched Balto walk away with sadness. I looked at my girl who was being pulled away by her father to my sister who was being flirted with by Steele. I looked back at Balto and ran after him.

I caught up with Balto in an alley way with Boris.

"Balto" I yelled

He turned and smiled. I walked up and nuzzled him friendly and said "I'm sorry"

He just pinned his ears that perked back up at the sound of my sister's name being called. A minute later he came back with his hears pinned. I dismissed it and walked alongside him.

"Didn't make the team, Bingo?"

Me and Balto growled as Boris said "Don't listen to him…don't look at him…live a long life"

"My name is Balto"

I turned around with my friend to see Steele wasn't alone.

"But you can call him idiot"

I giggled at that and growled at Steele as he began to circle my friend.

"Leave him alone you monster" I growled as I pounced on him

He pinned me down and laughed with his sled buddies.

"Get away from her" Balto growled

Steele laughed and said "Get out of here wolf dog and get back to your pack" he spits in Balto's face

Balto is ushered out by Boris, as the sled dogs began to kick snow on them. A rock hits Balto and he crashes into some cans and runs off.

I growled and pushed Steele away and ran after him.
