The next morning, Aleu woke up actually looking forward to the day ahead. She stretched and went of to find some breakfast. Afterwards she went to wait for Kirby to get back from his mail run.
Kirby woke up with a big smile on his face. He couldn't wait to see Aleu. Then he remembered he had a mail run to get to. He quickly got up and hurried out to the sled.
"Hey, Kirby," said Ralph when he got there. "So how did it go last night?"
"How did what go last night?" asked Dusty.
"Kirby took Aleu out on a date last night to make her feel better," said Ralph.
"Hey, great idea," said Kodi. "Did it work?"
"Yeah," said Kirby. "She feels a lot better now."
"Okay, time to go," said the musher. "Mush!"
They made their way to White Mountain and back again. When they got back to town, Aleu was there, waiting for Kirby. As soon as they stopped in front of the post office, Kirby got out of his harness and he and Aleu ran to each other and started licking and nuzzling.
Kodi, Dusty, and Ralph stared in shock and confusion.
"What are you doing with my sister?" shouted Kodi.
Kirby and Aleu stopped nuzzling each other and looked at them.
"Guy's," said Kirby. "I'm in love with Aleu."
"I'm in love with you to," said Aleu to Kirby.
Kodi, Dusty, and Ralph continued to stare in shock. "WHAT?" they all said at the same time.
