Balto: A New Journey

[TheWhistlerify]

Melony smiled once Lilly was safe and sound. As Hammy said the word love, she found herself glancing at Jempa for a moment. Confused, she shifted her gaze back to the scene, "Come on guys, we have a race to attend."

[KingKovu44]

Hammy nodded. "Yes, come on. That town is depending on us," he said and headed for the area where the race would begin.

Lilly smiled at Hammy a smile she had never smiled before, "Hello", she said, feeling a blush coming to her cheeks. She heard Melony suddenly and nodded, "Oh yeah! Thanks for saving me guys, but let's go!". Silver meanwhile was pacing and he shouted loudly, "I'll get you in the end Lilly! You will be mine, you belong to me!". Somehow, Lilly was the only to hear this, but she thought nothing of it.

Soon enough, they arrived at the spot where the race would begin. Immediately, their musher came over and began to put the dogs into their pulling harnesses.

Melony smiled and nodded, "Yeah, let's go." she said, walking with the others. As the musher prepared them, she again looked at Jempa and felt the exact same confusion as before. "Uh... Jempa..." she said, smiling as he looked back at her, "Good luck."

The preparation continued. Hammy took his place in lead and was hooked to the sled.

Melony waited for her team to finish preparing. Meanwhile Balto walked over to Hammy, "Good luck." he said, smilling proudly at his grandson.

[KingKovu44]

Hammy nodded and smiled. "Thanks, Grandpa. Tell Grandma, Mom and Dad that I love them," he said.

Lilly was right behind Hammy, on his left hand side, smiling at him she nuzzled his side as the musher hooked her up, "We'll do great, especially with you leading".

[KingKovu44]

Hammy nodded. "Thanks, Beautiful. I overheard the musher talking about our route. We'll be running for awhile before coming to Rusty Knife checkpoint to rest for the night," he said.
