Balto ran around town looking for Aleu. He checked the in boiler room. She wasn't there. He checked the boat. She wasn't there either. Then he checked in the mill. There he finally found Aleu and Kirby. They were nuzzling each other.
"Aleu!" shouted Balto angrily.
Aleu and Kirby stopped nuzzling and looked at Balto. "Daddy?" said Aleu in surprise.
"What the heck is going on here?" growled Balto.
"Hey, good new, sir," said Kirby sheepishly. "Aleu is feeling better."
"Shut up, you," snapped Balto. "Aleu, what's going on?"
Aleu hesitated for a moment, thinking of what to say. "He's my boyfriend, daddy," she said. "And we love each other… and we're happy together… and… I'm not a baby anymore."
Balto looked at Kirby. "Kirby, you have till the count of three to get as far away from me as you can. One…"
Kirby took off and ran out of the mill as fast as he could.
"Run, Kirby!" shouted Aleu as he disappeared from sight.
