The next morning Toby woke up eyes wide. Toby then stood up from his bed and ran outside from his grandfather's boat and headed straight for town. Kodi walks from the boiler to the edge of town to meet up with his nephew Toby. Without looking around the corner he bumped into Kirby. "Oh hey Kirby how's it going?" Kodi asked with a smile on his face. Kirby didn't smile he just stood there with eyes angry. "What's the matter?" Kodi asked Kirby looked away from angrily. Kodi the pulled some strings.
"Come one you can tell me Kirby," Kodi pleaded Kirby then smiled and looked at Kodi. "I know Kodi but the team just had another meeting and it turns that our new old team mate got Sierra pregnant," Kirby explains Kodi rolled his eyes and chuckled. "What's so funny?" Kirby asked cocking his head to the right Kodi started to laugh. "Well aren't you happy for them at all?" Kodi asked Kirby huffed "Well yeah but I mean Steele just started and he's already having puppy's and he's like older than us so how does that work out?" Kirby explained.
Kodi chuckled again. "Love does strange things my friend," Kodi answered Kirby huffed again. "Have you heard from Ralph at all?" Kirby asked Kodi shook his head. "Himm well I need more team members you know anyone?" Kirby asked Kodi thought for a second then he smiled. "I know two dogs that could help us out," Kodi said holding his smile. Kirby smiled "Alright lead me to them," Kirby asked Kodi nodded then he lead Kirby to them.
Toby sits on the edge of town waiting for his uncle. The wind blows softly and sun starts to shine and melts some snow. Toby's heart starts to beats faster in excitement. Everything around me turns down in silence. Toby notices this and looks around him. He sees nothing and continues to wait for his uncle Kodi. "Hey," said a voice behind Toby scaring him. Toby jumps and turns around to face the wolf or dog.
"Who are you?" Toby asked looking at the dog. "I'm sorry we never met in the family," the dog said circling Toby. "What? what do you mean never met in the family?" Toby asked the dog stopped and smile. "Oh I'm sorry where are my manners I'm Sheema I'm your great aunt," Sheema said with a smile and circling Toby once more. "Are you a wolf?" Toby asked Sheema stopped circling him again "Nope," Sheema answered then hopped onto a bolder and laid there.
"Then what side of the family are you on?" Toby asked Sheema looked at him. "What with all the questions kid you like to be a nerd?" Sheema asked Toby glared at her. "No I just want to know what side you're on," Toby explained. Sheema chucked and smiled then stood up and jumped on Toby making me land on his back in the snow. "What was that for?" Toby asked Sheema chucked again. "You might not believe this but I'm you Grandma Jenna older sister but just by a few minutes," Sheema explained. she was right Toby couldn't believe this was his great aunt and she just took him down.
"Okay, okay can you get off of me," Toby asked Sheema shrugged then got off of him. "How come you never came in our life earlier?" Toby asked Sheema chuckled "Well sweetheart there are just things that should be hidden," Sheema said winking at him. "What?" Toby asked as Sheema walked passed him. "Look kid I have things to do and if you want to just stand around and… well what are you doing out here?" Sheema asked Toby looked down and kicked a rock with his paw.
"Waiting for uncle Kodi to get here," Toby said feeling a little sadness reach his tone. Sheema smiled and playfully jump in him. "Come on kid you can hang with me for the day," Sheema said Toby was shocked "What really?" Toby asked. "Well yeah come I'll how real fun happens in this town," Sheema said standing up and started heading for town, Toby smiled then ran after her to town.
"Where are you taking me?" Kirby asked Kodi smiled then walked into the town's bar. "Just trust me," Kodi said before waking inside the bar. Kirby nodded then they both walked inside the bar. Almost everywhere humans all around were laughing and having fun and drinking there beer. "So who are we looking for?" Kirby asked Kodi smiles and walked forward. "Now where are you going?" Kirby asked Kodi didn't answer.
Kirby rolled his eyes and followed Kodi to the back of the bar. Now at the back of the bar two humans sit at a table with two dogs siting under the table. One dog was jet black with blue eyes and the other was a blackish blue and white malamute with green eyes. Kodi then walked up to them with a smile. "Kodi how are you and how's you dad?" asked the all black husky. Kodi smile "I'm good and he's doing alright," Kodi answered the two dogs laughed then stopping laughing and looked at Kirby. " So what's with this chump?" the malamute asked Kirby glared at him.
Kodi looked at Kirby and smiled "Kirby these are my dad's best friends they were part of the serum run," Kodi explained Kirby swallowed hard. "And their names are Sam and Darrell," Kodi Explained Kirby lowered his ears then pulled Kodi aside from everyone. "Kodi what the hell I didn't know those guys were a part of the serum run," Kirby said shaking out of his bones. Kodi chuckled then walked back over to Sam and Darrell. "Wait Kodi!" Kirby shouted over the loud music. Kodi then walked over to Sam and Darrell.
"I have a deal for you guys," Kodi said Sam and Darrell leaned forward with ears up. "And that is?" Darrell asked Kodi smiled as Kirby started to shaking harder. "That you run with my team and you well have some extra bones for later," Kodi said Sam chuckled "Well Kodi you know us well," Sam stated Kodi laugh "Well you have been with my dad for a year," Kodi said Darrell laughed "Yeah you got us there," Darrell said with a smile.
"You in?" Kodi asked Sam and Darrell looked at each other and smiled. "Yes were in," Sam said with a smile Kodi smiled then nodded. Kodi and Kirby then walked outside the bar. "Well Kirby we have new team mates now," Kodi said with a smile Kirby looked at Kodi "Well hope this time they don't have mates," Kirby said Kodi eyes grew wide. "Time!" Kodi shouted then they both heard a crash from a store nearby.
Toby followed Sheema into town "So what's your story?" Toby asked Sheema smiled "first of all I'm the fun one and second of all your Grandma and I kind of fell apart after she found love," Sheema explained. Toby nodded "How come?" Toby asked "Well she just wanted to be with Balto more than me I guess, so I just do my own thing and that's that," Sheema said Toby nodded they then walked up to a store but Toby stopped before walking inside. "What's the matter Hun?" Sheema asked Toby looked down.
"Well it's just that Kodi was going to hang out with me but I guess he forgot," Toby said in a sad tone Sheema then walked up to him and nuzzled his side "Oh come on kid you got me we will have fun," Sheema said with a smile. Toby smiled back at her "Okay," Toby replied Sheema and Toby then walked into the store. "So what are we doing here?" Toby asked Sheema smiled "Trust me with this one." Sheema said.
Toby nodded and followed her. "Hey Sylvie," Sheema greeted Sylvie looked at Sheema "Hey girl," said then nuzzled her friend. Toby stood behind Sheema. Sylvie noticed this, "Is this the young Toby that I heard about?" Sylvie asked Toby raised one eye brow "You heard about me?" Toby asked Sylvie laughed "Well of course you grandmother has been telling him since you were born. And you looked just like you grandfather too," Sylvie said with a smile.
Toby smiled "So what are you guys are in here for?" Sylvie asked Sheema smiled "Well… we were looking for party," Sheema said then she winked at Sylvie. Sylvie smiled "Ah right this way," Sylvie said leading the way to the back of the store. Sheema turned and winked at Toby, and then followed Sylvie Toby did the same. The three dogs walked to the back of the store seeing another door bordered up but there was a small doggie door on the bottom.
"Where are we going?" Toby asked Sheema and Sylvie both chuckled "Oh just somewhere," Sheema said with another chuckle. Toby rolled his eyes then they stopped. "Alright here we are," Sylvie said then she pushed the little doggie door open. Toby and Sheema both walked inside seeing some dogs eating some bones and talking. Everyone looked at Sheema and Toby, "Man It's been a long time since I'd been here," Sheema said as she walked in the middle of the room.
Toby looked around and started thinking that everyone was looking at him but then he looked at his great aunt. "Why you say that?" Toby asked Sheema looked at Toby. "Well I have been out of town for year I mean well when your grandmother had her pups I was around for them then I had to move because of the family I was living with," Sheema explained. Toby nodded "Where is the family your living with?" Toby asked Sheema smiled. "I ran away I never did like the family life then my sister had the family life with you grandfather," Sheema explained as they walked up to a small table.
"Are you mad at her for that?" Toby asked Sheema laugh "Well kid I wish was more like me sometimes but I'm happy for what she did," Sheema said Toby smiled as Sylvie walks up to them "this is on me," Sylvie said bringing two bowls of beer to them. "What this?" Toby asked Sheema looked at Toby "It's human beer," Sheema answered Toby was clueless "What's human beer?" Toby asked Sheema chuckled. "Just try it," Sheema said with a smile.
Toby shrugged then started to drink "Damn its strong," Toby said Sheema started to laugh
"Why didn't you like the family life?" Toby asked curiously.
"I don't really know, I just have always been the rebellious type I guess." Sheema said with a smile.
The two dogs sat in the back room as Toby thought about his uncle. He wanted to know why his uncle stood him up, and didn't show up.
On the other side of town, Kodi and Kirby walked down front street, discussing their new teammates.
"So Kirby, what do you think of them?" Kodi asked.
"I guess they can work, Sam seems slightly layed back and a bit like he doesn't care about much." Kirby stated.
"Like I said before, they were both apart of the serum run; they know what they're doing." Kodi said with a smile. The two dogs walked in silence for about two more minutes until Kodi stopped suddenly and gasped.
"Kodi, what's wrong?" Kirby asked.
"I forgot about Toby! I was supposed to meet him today!" Kodi said. "Oh my god, I have to go find him." like Kirby didn't even exist, Kodi ran off to find Toby. On his way, he bumped into a large black dog with yellow eyes.
"Hey, sorry." Kodi said.
"It's fine. Hey, you're Kodi right?" The large dog said.
"Yeah, that's me, do you know my father?" Kodi said.
"No, but I know you." The dog said with a strange smile.
"how do you know me?" Kodi said with a confused look on his face.
"Don't worry about that." The dog said. The black dog then ran into a nearby ally and disappeared. Kodi was a bit confused but chose to brush it off and continue his walk to Toby's house.
