Emily tired to run around the town but trying to run and four legs was begnning to get to hard. Emily took one in a nearby alley and slipped on some black ice. "Ouch Damn it," Emily said as she stood up from ice. "This is hopless how could I be in some else body am I being punished?" Emily asked herself. "And why a dog eh this is so not clean at all and why does every other dog can understand me?" Emily conitued to ask herself. "Hey sweetheart what are you doing all the way out here?" A female voice asked in the entance of the alley way.

Emily looked towards to entance seeing another husky. "No please no more dogs telling me I'm this girl dog named Ashely," Emily cried. The husky walked over to her. "Is your name Ashely?" the female husky asked. Emily shook her head. "No it's not my name Emily," Emily said as she just looked at the female husky. "Well Emily my name's Alea and I was wondering, since I notcied you were just walking around and wondering around I thought maybe you like a place to stay?" Alea asked as Emily looked down to the ground.

Emily looked up at Alea and nodded. "Are you sure?" Emily asked. Alea smiled. "Yeah I'm sure," Alea answered. Emily smile and nodded. "I mean I don't want to be a borther," Emily stated. Alea chuckled, "It's fine Emily come on I'll you where I live around here," Alea said as she started to lead the way to her home. Emily peaked her ears up and walked with her.

Meanwhile

Balto, Jenna and Max started to walk back to Balto's boat. "I still dont understand why she just thinks her name is Emily and who the hell is that anyways?" Max asked himself. Balto looked at Max. "Max are you alright?" Balto asked his grandson, Max snapped out of his thoughts and looked at his grandfather. "Yeah I'm cool I just have alot of questions that's all," Max said as he looked down at the ground and continued to walk on. The three of them then stopped walking and looked at each other. "Do think this is some kind of joke or something?" Max asked both of his grandparent's.

Balto and Jenna both looked at each other and staretd to think. Jenna then looked at Max and licked the top of his head. "No I dont think so hunny," Jenna said as she licked the top of his head again. Max sighed as he walked forward and turned around and faced his grandparent's. "I want to find out why she is calling her self Emily will you guys help me," Max said with hope in his eyes. Balto and Jenna looked at each other again and nodded at each other. Balto looked at Max and cocked his head to the right and smiled. "Sure I'll help you," Balto replied.

Jenna looked at Balto then at Max. "I'll help too," Jenna said with a smile. Max smile at his grandparent's "Thank you," Max replied and nuzzled both of them. Balto chuckled, "You're Welcome," Balto said as he nuzzled him back. Max then stop nuzzling them and just looked at them. "Alright so I'm gonna go see if I go find her and you and you're grandmother just head back to boat," Balto stated. Max nodded and looked at his grandmother. Jenna walked up to Balto and nuzzled him. "Be careful and be safe," Jenna said as she licked the side of his muzzle. Balto smiled at her and nodded. "I will just keep Max safe," Balto said before leaving. Jenna nodded at him and walked with Max back to the boat.

(Mean while with Ashely)

Ashley woke up in the hospital bed and looked around the room and saw no one around,"Damn it! That human drugged me!" Ashely scream in her head. "I need to get out of here," Ashley said as she unplugged everything on the bed and sat up and got off the bed, at frist it was weird to walk on two legs but she managed. There was a shirt a sweat shrt and some jeans sitting on a chair near the door.

Ashley then got dressed even thought it felt strange wearing clothes. But she didn't care, she just wanted to get out of there. Ashely then peaked out the door of her room seeing Emily's father talking to the docter. Ashley then closed the door and want back onto the room. "Damn it," Ashley said as she stood against the door. Ashely then looked towards the widow and seeing that she was on the ground floor. "Yes," Ashely said as she ran over to the window and opened it and went outside.

Just as Ashley went out the window. Emily's father walked inside the room in shock to find his daughter gone and out of the room. "Emily!" Mr. Mattew's screamed as he just staired at the opened window. Ashley ran as fast as she could away from the hospital. Ashley ran into an alley way to catch her breath. "Frist thing I need to do is find Max or at least fix this thing frist," Ashely said to herself as fresh snow started to fall from the sky. "Well how the hell am I goint to fix this?" Ashely thought to herself as the cold flakes of snow fell on the top of her head.

"Hey Emily I need to talk you" A male voice said behind Ashely. "Oh what now?" Ashely thought as she turned around. "Thomas?!" Ashley's head screamed about to shout out his name. "Hey Emily I was wondering If you saw my dog Ashley any where at all?" Thomas said with smile. Ashley couldn't breath what could she say? because this in fact was her owner in the frist place. "Um I... I... I," Ashely tried to talk. Thomas then pulled forward to try to get better hearing. The only thing Ashley could do is just lose her voice and stand there frozon just looking eye to eye with her own master.
