Chapter 2: A Chat with Jenna

The moon shined high I the sky as Balto and Boris sat around. Balto then thought of someone else he could talk to apart from Boris.

"Boris, please excuse me. I think I'm going to go talk to Jenna," Balto said as he jumped off of the boat.

"That's fine," Boris replied before heading for the compartment part of the boat. Balto then walked into town and looked around for the red and white husky. Eventually, he didn't find her, and headed for Rose's house where she lived. Balto saw Jenna sleeping outside on the porch in a dog bed with blankets on her to keep her warm.

"Jenna?" Balto whispered. Jenna woke up and walked over to him.

"Balto? What are you doing here at this time of night?" Jenna asked.

"I didn't exactly have a good day, Jenna. I was thinking with Boris and I've been feeling down. I think I'm just upset because I still have unanswered questions from my past. I came to talk," Balto explained.

"I understand. I can try my best, but I don't know if I'll be much help," Jenna replied. Balto sighed.

"Okay. When I said I had unanswered questions, I meant certain things that I can't explain about my past. Why did my father leave me when I was a pup? Whatever happened to my mom? Did I have siblings, or was I just a lonely pup? Why wasn't I accepted into my mom's wolf pack when I was her offspring? You know, questions like that," Balto responded.

"Balto, I may not have the answers to all of those questions, but whatever it was that happened to your mom, my guess is that your dad left you to try and do what was best for you. I'm sorry," Jenna answered.

"It's a good guess. Besides you did your best. Goodnight Jenna. I'm going back to the boat to try and get some sleep," Balto said before leaving. Jenna then went back to sleep in her dog bed and covered herself up with the blanket.

Back at the boat, Balto walked into the compartment part of the boat where Boris was sleeping. Balto looked at him, and then walked over to the middle of the boat and threw his blanket on top of himself, before closing his eyes. Balto drifted off to sleep, but tonight's dreams weren't like any other ones he had dreamed of before; these dreams were different.

Author's Note; I have seen all three Balto movies, but I can't tell if Balto sleeps under a blanket or a bed sheet. Also, I don't know what color the blanket or sheet should be because the colors keep changing in all three films. If someone could clearify this information for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you. Please review.
