"Dingo's Tale II: A Quest For Vengeance"
Chapter II: "Every Dream Has Its Meaning."
Dingo woke up to find himself running from something, but he didn't know what it was, "Wait, why am I running? Where even am I, this doesn't look like Nome?" Dingo looked behind him to see a wolf-like creature chasing him, "Oh crap! Why is a wolf chasing me? He's gaining on me!" The wolf did a prey-dive, but just before he hit, Dingo woke up, "No! Oh, I'm only dreaming. I've never had a dream like that before, where did they come from all of a sudden? Eh, I'll just forget it."
Ember woke up and saw Dingo next to her, "Oh, good morning Dingo. What's wrong hun? You're never like this, did you have a nightmare?"
Dingo looked surprised that she knew what happened, "Yeah, but how did you know? Did you have a nightmare too?"
"No, it's just the look on your face, you look as though you've seen a ghost, what happened?"
"Oh, don't worry about it. I'm fine, really, you wouldn't understand if I told you anyways."
"Dingo, I'm your mate, you can tell me anything you want, whatever it is, and I can help you. Stella always told me something that she wanted me to remember, "Dreams always mean something, no dream is pointless if it scares you senseless."
"Thank you Ember, just promise me you won't laugh?"
"I promise, I will never laugh at you. The only laughing that you'll hear from me is laughing with you, not at you."
"Okay, here goes. I was being chased by a wolf through a really cold forest, colder than it is here in the winter, he did a prey dive on me, but I woke up before anything happened."
"Wow, that does seem scary. It has to mean something if it woke you up like it did then it must have some meaning behind it."
"Yeah, but what does a wolf chasing me mean? The only wolves I've met are you, my dad, and my brothers and sisters." Dingo looked around and saw that the pups were getting up.
"They look like they had a nice nap, come on Dingo. Why don't we go to the local park where they can sniff around and play while we talk about this?" Ember suggested
"Yeah, they are probably full of energy. I'd like to stretch my legs a little anyways." Dingo got up and saw a crazy bird flying towards the boat. "Who is tha-." Dingo was cut off when the crazy goose crashed into the pile of trash in the corner of the boat.
"Hey! Get away from this boat you bunch of hobos! I swear, I come all the way back from a journey with Balto and what do I find? Two dogs housing their family here?" The crazy goose with a strong Russian accent grabbed his broom and walked towards Dingo and Ember.
"Wait, you look familiar. Uncle Boris? I knew I recognized that crazy Russian accent from somewhere!" Dingo walked over to his Uncle who he hadn't seen in about a year since he was taken in by Billy.
"How do you know me? I never seen you before in my life!" The crazy snow goose asked
"It's me, Dingo. One of Balto's sons? Kodi, Yukon, Aleu, and Saba's brother?"
"Dingo? Oh, you were one of the first to get adopted! I remember you, you liked to chew on my wings you know." Boris looked at his wing from all the scars he still had from when Dingo was a pup.
"Haha, I guess I really liked you then huh Uncle Boris? So, how have you been? I haven't seen you since the day I was put up for adoption?" Dingo asked
"Well, I have been good, very good. Except now your father is on another crazy trip to find Aleu. She ran away from home yesterday and hasn't returned yet, so your father went out looking for her." Boris explained
"Aleu ran away?! I have to go help dad find her, whi-." Dingo was cut off by Boris waving his finger in a "no-no" way.
"No Dingo, this is a trip for him and Aleu alone. Your mother tried to do the same, but I stopped her for same reason. Besides, you have mate and pups to take care of right now. Speaking of mate and pups, who is the lucky girl who chose to be mate for you?"
"Well, Ember is my mate first of all." Ember walked over to where Boris and Dingo were standing
"Hello, I'm Ember, nice to meet you Mr. Boris." Ember put her paw in his wing and shook it.
"It is pleasure to meet you Mrs. Ember, please call me Boris. Who are the lovely pups that sit beside you?" Boris looked at the four pups.
Dingo walked over to the pups, "Well, the one that looks like Ember is named Nikita which means little one, the girl with white ears and a white muzzle is named Luna, the boy with the red muzzle and white ears is named Kazu which means peace, and the last one is named Zodiac."
"Such beautiful names for such beautiful puppies, why don't we go to park where I can watch and play with them?" Boris suggested
"See, that's what we were going to do before you came along." Ember said.
"I see, well what are we waiting for? Let us go to park!" Boris started walking towards the edge of the boat. Dingo and Ember carried the pups and walked down the ramp and finally headed off to the local park where Boris, Dingo, and Ember could talk.
