Later, Balto ran to Jenna's house. He barked a few times and Jenna came hurrying out. "What's wrong?" she asked.
"Jenna," said Balto. "I just found out some disturbing news. Aleu is dating Kirby."
Jenna smiled. "Is that all?" she half laughed.
"Jenna, our daughter is with that… guy," said Balto.
"Well Aleu's an adult now. If they want to be together there's not really anything you can do about it. Besides, Kirby's a nice boy. He's Kodi's best friend."
"Oh, that makes me feel so much better," said Balto sarcastically. "Aleu deserves better than some… screw head like him."
"He's the lead dog on the sled team," said Jenna. "You can't get much better than that?"
Balto sighed. "You know something, Jenna. At this rate I'm going to die of a heart attack before the Americans ever land a man on the moon."
