Chapter III.
The two had been walking for about 15 minutes now and believe it or not this had been the longest time he had spent with Jenna were Steel hadn't run him of or his shyness getting the better of him and soon the two arrived at the station.
Jenna turned to Balto.
"thank you for getting me back here."
"You…Your welcome."
Balto said his face going red with embarrassment.
Then two heard someone calling Jenna's name.
"Jenna!...Jenna Williams!"
Jenna recognized the voice of that of her father.
"Well looks like my dad's looking for me so i better get going and again thanks for getting me back..."
She said stopping mid sentence when she turned and saw that Balto was gone she was about to see where he had gone when her father came upon her.
"Jenna...Jenna…oh there you are were the heck have you been?"
"it's a long story."
"Got a bit of a walk home you can tell me on the way."
"sure thing dad."
And with that the two walked off as Balto poked him self out from behind a pile of railroad tie's once again his shyness when he's around her had got the better of him he just hung his head and headed back to the engine servicing track
Boris had just finished up on 25 when he saw Balto walking his way.
"Vell how'd it go?" he asked but Balto just kept walking.
"Oh zhis cant be good." Boris said walking after Balto.
Boris fallowed his friend into an empty storage shed and saw him sitting on a crate looking out the window.
"Balto vhats wrong vith you, You leave vith Jenna looking like you vere on top of vorld now you come back looking like you hit rock bottom."
Balto just sighed and kept looking out the window.
"Boris you know as well as i do that she could never truly love a half wolf like me, She'd much rather hook up with an Engineer like...Steel."
Boris sighed and said.
"Look Balto zhere is nothing wrong vith being part wolf."
"Oh ya give me one reason."
"Vell zhere is...uh...vell.."
To tell the truth Boris was stumped
"That's what I thought." Balto said annoyed.
"Never mind ve still have a job to do so come on."
Boris said preparing to go out the door then Balto got up from the crate and fallowed the old Russian back to the engine servicing track.
The rest of the work day was uneventful it was just a regular work day with different locomotives coming and going from the engine servicing track.
It was 6:10 PM when they finally punched out and headed back home which was nothing but an old fishing boat that had been washed up along the beach.
When they got there Balto headed for what use to be the boat's wheel house when he got there he picked up an old blanket then sate in a chare by the wall of the wheel house to rest a little.
While Boris grabbed a mop and a bucket of water and started to mop the deck which was a bit redundant because the boat was a mess no mater how much he cleaned but he try's.
While Balto was resting a familiar sent come to his sensitive woven nose.
"That time of the day already?"
Balto said to himself as he got up from the chare and put his work boots back on and walked over to Boris.
"Umm Boris?" Balto asked
"Vhat now?" Boris asked not even turning his head.
"Well it's..." Balto was about to say some when he and Boris heard something in the distance and getting closer.
"Uncle Boris!"
"oh no." Boris muttered
" Well speck of the devil here they come." Balto said slightly amused.
And sure enough a small white anthro Polar bear was running right towards the old Russian.
Boris picked up the water bucket and brought it up like shield bumping the water in it out all over the bottom part of his pants and boots and braced for the inevitable impact
But then he opened his eyes to find the polar bear had stopped maybe a foot from him he sighed in relief and backed up into the little polar bears much larger brother who picked the old Russian up in a big bear hug all the while whit Boris trying to get free.
Balto couldn't help but be slightly amused at the sight unfolding be for him but then again this would happen usly every time theses two would show up.
The small one named Muk was the brains of the two.
The big one named Luk was you could say was the muscle of the two.
An interesting thing about Luk is he cant realy talk he just whimpers and for some reason Muk can translate what ever Luk says.
At this point Boris was able to get him self free and started straightening his pants and jacket and was about to straighten his hat until he found it wasn't on his head like it should be he looked back and sure enough there was Luk with his hat.
"Give me zhat!" Boris said grabing the hat out of Luks hand and started to straighten it out.
Luk then whimpered something to Muk.
"What are you talking about of course he's glad to see us he loves us...don't you? Muk translated.
Boris sighed and said.
"Hay boys lets play a game."
One thing was for sure it got there attention.
"Ok race into shoal ONE TWO THREE GO!" and Muk and Luk took off like a bullet from a gun
"Zhat should keep zhem dizzy." Boris said but he spoke to soon when he and Balto both heard Muk calling out
"HELP WE CAN SWIME!"
Boris took one look at Balto and the two ran towards the shoals only to find Muk and Luk flopping around in the shallow's still screaming they where drowning .
Boris the tried there attention .
"Bears...fella's...IDIOT BALLS OF FLUFF!"
"Ease now Boris you know how they are, Muk Luk relax it's ok your not drowning."Balto said taking over for Boris only to have the old Russian butted back in not long after Balto had stopped talking.
"He has point bears you are not drowning because if you vould take one moment to observe ZHAT TIDE IS OUT!" Boris then turned and started heading back to the boat when he heard Luk mumble some thing and he stopped in his track's.
"He said vhat?" Boris said with a raised eyebrow
"Oh the sham of Polar Bear whom fear's the water no wonder we are shunned by are fellow bear woo is us...It's what he said kind of pathetic really" Muk replied a little sheepishly.
Boris just rolled his eye's as he, Balto, Muk and Luk headed back to the boat for the night
