Two days later the Buddies once again met up in the park. But they weren't in the mood to play. They had felt strange ever since they came back.

"Do you guys feel a bit, I dunno, strange?" asked Rosebud.

"Yeah I feel weird" replied Buddha. "Maybe it's the feeling of saddness"

"I haven't been able to eat in two days, i'm starting to think i'm coming down with something" said Budderball.

"Now that's a surprise" stated B-dawg.

"Maybe it's cause were back from Alaska and it was really cold there and here its not" suggested Mudbud.

"I miss Shasta and Adam and Deputy Bernie" Rosebud quietly admitted. "Oh and let's not forget Talon".

"It could be because we'v lost some special friends" Buddha sadly told his siblings. "I dont think we will ever see them again".

The Buddies didn't talk for a few seconds. After a while, B-dawg finally said "Come on dawg's we need to do something cool so we can get back in the mood, yo"

The others agreed and decided to try and forget about Alaska but they couldn't because dog sled racing and going through multiple challenges in the race was unforgettable. Eventually they found themselves mucking around outside the bakery. "Look the workers are laying out fresh bread!" Budderball greedily said.

"Budderball, remember what happened last time dude?" Mudbud reminded him. He was referring to what had happened in Air Buddies.

"I think Budderball has got his killer appetite back!" laughed B-dawg. Rosebud smiled in agreement but she still missed something. She did miss Adam, Talon and Bernie but she especially missed Shasta. It was probably because that husky was so similar to her. They both liked sport, they both are brave and they both are fast. Rosebud missed everything about him, especially his blue eyes which she thought was mesmerizing.

"We should be getting home now let's take the shortcut through the alleyway" suggested Buddha. B-dawg went over to look.

"Yo dawg's you got to come look at this!" cried B-dawg. The others ran towards B-dawg who was outside a alley. "Er look whats inside" he wimpered.

The alley was swarming with cats, at least ten or twelve. Budderball gulped. "Well, well, well it looks as if we have visiters" snarled a black cat.

"Look it's Air Bud's little trouble makers" laughed a tom cat.

"We don't want any trouble" Buddha calmly explained."We'll just be on our way now".

"Yeah, go run back to that sport playing mut!" chortled a greyish cat.

"Hey don't you talk about our dad like that!" shouted Rosebud.

"Yeah you dudette's are about to go down" added Mudbud.

"You picked the wrong pup's to mess with" said Budderball.

"Oh yeah, fatso!" replied the tom cat, causing the other's to laugh.

"Hey at least he doesn't smell like fish" said Buddha. Usually Buddha doesn't say negative word's like that but made an exception because they were bullying his brother. The black cat breathed on her paw and sniffed and seemed to agree with that remark.

"Y-Yeah you c-cats are nothing but- stammered B-dawg, trying to be brave like his siblings were.

"And who's Mr. fraidy cat over here?" insulted the black cat. "The phrase should be changed to scaredy dog!"

"Budderball, you think you can let one rip?" whispered Mudbud. Budderball nodded.

He turned around so his butt faced the cats and then farted. The cat's shrieked and screamed and the Buddies ran off laughing. That cheered them up.

They all ran towards Deputy Dan's office, laughing. "Yo that's what i'm talking about!" B-dawg shouted out of excitement. "We taught those kitty's why they shouldn't mess with the Buddies!"

"I think that just cured my sad feeling" laughed Buddha.


In Ferntiuktuk, Alaska, Adam's dad was helping him place the trophy on a wooden desk he had just installed. "There we go, Adam, your trophy is now up" he said.

Adam smiled in response. "It's time for dinner" called his mum. As they went over to the kitchen, Shasta was staring out the window. He to missed his new friends and felt sad that he would never see them again. Adam then came back and saw him. "I know I miss the puppies to, but they belong in Washington, i'm sure their owners are glad to see them back" Adam told him, guessing the reason he was sad. "Come on, your stake's getting cold"

Shasta and Adam ran to the kitchen.
