SILVER: I could really go for a chili dog right now.

NITRO:  Aren't you still upset about the laptop?

SILVER: That's why I could really go for one.

ANIRO:  What's with your obsession with chili dogs?

SILVER:  Cuz they're good...and spicy...?

ANIRO:  Who do you think you are?  Sonic??

SILVER:  No...?

TOMMYFOX:  So I guess that would make you Silv-

SILVER:  DON'T YOU DARE.

(Tommyfox giggles)

SILVER:  In fact, just for that, you're interviewing today.

TOMMYFOX:  Okay :3

SILVER: ...

NITRO:  I think you messed up his comeback!

TOMMYFOX:  I know.  Hehehehe.

(Thunder can be heard)

ZIGGO:  Guess we're getting a storm today.

ERIK:  That's weird, they said it was supposed to be sunny.

ANIRO:  Yes, weatherfurs tend to derp a whole lot.

TOMMYFOX:  Anyways, you, with the Mohawk, who am I interviewing today?

SILVER:  Balto.  So pack your bags, we're headed for Nome, Alaska.

NITRO:  Cool!  Maybe I'll see some relatives there!

ANIRO:  I can't go.

SILVER:  Why not?

ANIRO:  Ice tends to be super effective on me.

(Erik does a rim shot on a drumset)

NITRO:  Where did you GET that at???

ERIK:  I dunno but it's gone now.

NITRO: ...

SILVER:  Anyways, I was joking.

(Nitro playfully punches Silver in the arm)

NITRO:  Should have known!

SILVER:  Aren't you also weak to fairies?

ANIRO:  WHERE?!?!

NITRO:  I don't get what is happening at all.

SILVER:  Don't worry about it, buddy.

(Aniro can be seen rocking back and forth on the floor in a corner)

SOMBRA:  That happened.

NITRO:  Yepp.

SILVER:  Anyhoo...I guess we'll just have to not tape this episode.

NITRO:  Not so fast!  I got my GoPro stick.  I'll just shoot the interview from the audience!

SILVER:  That could work.

NITRO:  Better work!

TOMMYFOX:  So when should we get on out there?

SILVER:  Now, actually.  Both of ya better start going.

TOMMYFOX: Alright.

NITRO: Okay.

(Nitro exits the prep room through a door marked "Audience" and Tommyfox walks onto the stage.)

TOMMYFOX:  Welcome to another episode of Furry Fan Interviews!  At this time I would like to remind you that by our top dog Silver's wishes, no hoomans are allowed here.

UNCLE KAGE:  What about me?

TOMMYFOX:  You're an exception, so saith the coyote.  Glad you could make it!

UNCLE KAGE:  You're welcome! :)

TOMMYFOX:  Anyways, we've got a really special guest tonight!  Let's have a round of the paws for the star of one of the biggest fandoms within our fandom, Balto from...Balto!  Now, where is he?

(Balto walks onto the stage)

TOMMYFOX:  Oh.

BALTO:  Sorry I'm late.  Boris kept trying to talk himself out of looking after Muk and Luk.

TOMMYFOX:  Think he's okay with it?

BALTO:  Aw, come on, what's the worst that could happen?

(Meanwhile...)

Luk:  NO, Muk!  Don't sit on...Uncle Boris.

Boris (muffled):  I...HATE...BEARS.

(Back to Balto...)

TOMMYFOX:  Anyways, why don't you sit on the...wait...where's the interviewee chair?

BALTO:  Silver howled at me that I wouldn't need a chair because I'm a quad.

TOMMYFOX:  Oh, right.  So first question.  Well...second question.

(Tommyfox giggles)

BALTO:  I'm ready.

TOMMYFOX:  Sooo...as you might know, you are a huge staple in the Furry Fandom.  Many fursonas are based off of the characters from your universe.  How do you feel about this?

BALTO:  I'm honored...although I don't really care much about fame, because that was what made Steele become evil. I'm just glad that I'm a great father with a wonderful mate and a wonderful family that I'd give anything for.

EVERYONE IN THE THEATER: D'awwwwww!

TOMMYFOX:  That was a really great answer.

BALTO:  Thanks!

TOMMYFOX:  So, next question.  Where did you meet Boris?

BALTO:  I met him when I was an abandoned pup, wandering around Nome.  He didn't know how to fly, and I didn't know where my mom and dad were.  He asked me if I could fly and I told him that I couldn't, but I would do what ever it takes to encourage him.  He thanked me, and then I asked him if he knew where my parents were.  He said he didn't know, but that I now could have something that would really help me get by: a friend. And he helped me hunt from what I remembered, and that is how I survived and how he learned to fly.

TOMMYFOX:  That's really a great story.  What happened to Steele after he was shunned from the team and the dog community?

BALTO:  I actually don't know.  He was never seen or heard from again.  A rumor is going around that he may be a very distant family member of Niju.

TOMMYFOX:  The villain from Wolf Quest?

BALTO:  Huh?  I don't know what you mean.  Are you talking about when Aleu went off on a quest to find out who she was?

TOMMYFOX:  Yeah let's go with that.  I need something to make this less awkward...

STEELE:  Hello.

BALTO:  What are YOU doing here?!

STEELE: Dunno.

TOMMYFOX (aside):  ...Thanks?

STEELE:  Sure.

TOMMYFOX:  Anyways...last question before we go to audience questions.

BALTO:  Actually, do you mind just going to audience questions?  I actually have a bad feeling about what's happening to Boris...

TOMMYFOX:  No problem.  You heard the wolfdog.  Seat 9.

NITRO:  Hello!

TOMMYFOX:  Hi.  Seat 23.

NITRO:  Hello!

TOMMYFOX:  Ignoring you.  Seat 73.

ROBIN HOOD:  Why are you more famous than me?!  I was the original furry!

MICKEY MOUSE:  I resent that!  Ha ha.

THE BIG BAD WOLF:  Wanna say that to my face?!

MINOTAUR:  Wanna say that to MY face?!

ANUBIS:  You guys are SO ADORABLE.

TOMMYFOX:  I'm surrounded by idiots...seat 99.  And PLEASE make it a good question!

SANDY CHEEKS:  What do y'all think is the most important part of being a canine?

BALTO:  Three things:  Leadership, companionship, and loyalty.

TOMMYFOX:  More questions like that, guys!  Seat 14.

SURLY (from THE NUT JOB):  Have you ever stolen anything?

BALTO:  Only Boris from when he got stuck in that butcher shop.

TOMMYFOX:  These are good questions!  I'm liking this now.  Final question goes to seat 82.

MRS FRISBY:  What is it mean to you that you are a true hero?

BALTO:  Honestly, it means that at the end of the day, others have someone to look up to and inspire them, and that is really all that matters.

TOMMYFOX:  Well that's all the time we have!  Thank you so much Balto, for being a great interviewee!

BALTO:  Hey, no problem.  See you around.  I usually attend these interview shows.

(The lights dim and Tommyfox and Nitro head back to the prep room)

TOMMYFOX:  Did you really get all of it?

NITRO:  Yepp!

TOMMYFOX:  How did you go from one seat to the next?

NITRO:  Magic.

SILVER:  The good news is the camera didn't break!

NITRO: ...

TOMMYFOX: ...

ANIRO: ...

ERIK: ...

SOMBRA: ...

ZIGGO: ...

SILVER: ...

NITRO:  Guess it didn't.

(An anvil is dropped on Silver)

SILVER: Pain.

ZIGGO:  Happy tails.
