Heero still wanted to fight Zechs. He was ready to tear him from limb to limb. "Let's go now!" Wufei said, pushing Heero back. 'Fine.' Heero thought. 'I'll get you some other time Zechs!' Heero walked away with Wufei. Zechs and the others started to kick up snow. But Trowa kicked a rock and it hit Heero hard in the side, throwing him into a bunch of junk. Heero got up and ran. He had had enough humiliation already. "Yeah. Part wolf in the side pocket there boss." Kaltag said. "That was the most wonderful shot. I mean it was beautiful. Square on target." Trowa said. "You hit him!" Nikki said. Trowa punched him hard on the head. Zechs sneered and walked off. When he was gone the others talked. "Man can you believe that guy." Trowa said. "What a son of a…" Kaltag said. "He's no lab dog!" Nikki said, covering his head so not to get punched by Trowa. Trowa gave him an uppercut.
Meanwhile outside of Nome.
Heero and Wufei were walking in the snow. Heero smelled something in the air. He turned to a nearby snowdrift. A pack of wild wolves were there. They howled. Heero understood them. "Come with us. You are one of us are you not?" They said to him. They stood waiting for Heero's reply to join them. "Hm." Heero said. 'No. I'm not a wolf. I don't belong with you.' Heero thought. He walked off. So did the wolves. Wufei watched Heero walk away. "Not a dog. Not a wolf. All he knows is what he is not." Wufei said. Wufei joined Heero on an old shipwrecked ship. Heero got covered up in an old blanket. Wufei started to do all these crazy things trying to cheer Heero up. Soon he gave up and joined Heero under the blanket. Heero heard honking, he looked up. He saw a bunch of geese. The same as Wufei. "Homesick, Wufei? You ever think of going back?" Heero said. Wufei got up and started moping the old wood. Don't fret fido. I'm not leaving until I'm sure you can stand on all four feet." Wufei said. "You're taking care of me?" Heero stated, sarcastically. "Don't thank me." Wufei said. Heero smelled something in the air again. "I smell Herring." Heero said. "The Herring are flying south for the winter too?" Wufei asked. "I know. Must be Relena and Quatre." Heero said. Off in the distance they heard something coming. "Uncle Wufei!" It called out. "Oh no!" Wufei said, grabbing the bucket as a shield and the mop stick as a sword. "Uncle Wufei. How cute." Heero said, jokingly. "No hugging, no licking." Wufei said, as Quatre the smaller polar bear came to him and stopped in front of him. "Ah. Good." Wufei said. Just as he got squished by the much larger and fatter bear, Relena. Wufei wanted to get rid of the annoying bears so he made them race to the water. "Help! We can't swim!" They shouted. Heero and Wufei went to the shore after them. Heero saw them and smiled. They weren't drowning. They thought they were, but they weren't. "Bears! Idiot balls of fluff!" Wufei yelled. "Easy Wufei. You know how they are." Heero said softly. "Hey, Relena, Quatre. It's ok you guys. You're not drowning." Heero said. They stopped screaming and looked at Wufei. "He is right bears. For if you had stopped to notice…" Wufei said calmly. "TIDE IS OUT!" Wufei shouted. He walked away. Relena mumbled something. "What did she say?" Wufei asked. "Oh woe is the polar bear who can't swim. Who fear the water, no wonder why we are outcasts from our kind. Woe is us." Quatre said. "It's what she said, kinda pathetic really." Quatre said. "Between you and Heero, it is like a sad novel out here!" Wufei shouted.
Later that night, as Heero was staring at the city lights from afar.
"And what is so interesting?" Wufei asked. "Duo." Heero replied. "It's love." Wufei said plainly. Heero gave Wufei a stare like he was insane. "When the angels start to sing the sweet song of love…" Wufei said, almost poetically. "Mambo!" He finished, surprising Heero. "Nah. He's not my type." Heero said. "This wolf business again? And what's the problem with being half-and-half I'd like to know? I wish I was half eagle." Wufei said. Heero shook his head in surprise. "Why!?" Heero asked. "Better profile for one thing. And no one eat you for another." Wufei said.
Back at the city of Nome.
Duo was waiting to find out what was wrong with Hilde. He was waiting outside the window. Heero came walking up. He tried fixing the little part of his hair on his head that always stood up. His hair went back to his place. He found Duo. "Duo." He said. Duo turned around. "Heero. Hi." He said, wanting to find out what was wrong with his girl. "Hi." Heero replied. "Just a shot in the dark. But I was wondering. If you'd like to go chase a few sticks by moonlight?" Heero asked. He then saw a sad expression on Duo's face. "Duo?" Heero asked. "Hilde's in there." He said. Heero jumped up on the logs with her. "In the hospital? Why?" He asked puzzled. "She is warm. She has a terrible cough." Duo said then turning to Heero. "Heero, what wrong with her?" He asked. Heero thought long and hard. He knew a lot about the diseases you could get from the cold. He couldn't think of anything that matched those criteria. Except for one. And he prayed it wasn't the one. "I don't know. But I know how we can find out. Come on." He said, jumping off the logs. Duo followed. He went to the back of the hospital, in the boiler room. He listened through the door. "I have the keys to the city." Heero said, jumping on the door. Her stretched out and pulled the two nails on the hinges out. Opening the door. He held his paw out. "After you." Heero said. Duo started to enter then looked at Heero's paw. It was much larger then his. Heero smiled and sheepish grin. "Big paws kinda run in my family." He said half-heartedly. He walked in front of Duo. "At least one side of my family." Heero finished, seriously. "Stick close." He said as he went under the floorboards into darkness. Duo followed into the darkness. "Heh. No problem there." He said. "It's so gloomy and dark down here." Duo said as he followed Heero. "Not that I'm scared or anything. Ah!" Duo screamed when a spider web surprised him. Heero stopped and brushed the web away with his tail. "Gloomy!?" He said. "It is the most beautiful place in the world. Dogs travel all over the world just to be here." Heero said. Finally reaching a larger room. "I don't see why." Duo said. Also reaching the larger room. "That's because you're looking at the bowl half empty." Heero said. He walked over to some broken bottles. He pushed them into some light drowning through the hole from the room above. "See this. These are the polar ice caps." Heero said. Covering the light. "Heero. Those are broken bottles. And they're not half-empty. They're all empty." Duo said, confused. "The sun." Heero said, pointing to the light. "Heero." Duo said, getting more confused. "And to the north!" Heero said, stepping out of the way of the light and letting the light make beautiful rainbow patterns on the way. "The Northern Lights!" Duo said. "Heero, you're right. This is beautiful." Duo said. Heero looked at him. "Yeah beautiful." Heero replied. Just then the doctor cut off their light. Duo and Heero over heard the doctor's conversation.
"How is she doctor?" Hilde's dad asked. "It is Diphtheria." The doctor said.
"No." Heero said to himself. It was the one he was hoping it wasn't. Everyone knew that Diphtheria was deadly. But if they had Antitoxin. They'll be fine.
"She is the 18th case this week." The doctor said, reaching for the antitoxin. There was none. "And I'm all out of Antitoxin."
