A/N, Hey all the Bolt fans out there, I loved the movie, bought it the first day it came out and wanted to try and see if I can put a little story together. Please review if you can and tell me what you liked or think I could work on. This may end up as a bolt/mittens but was intended to be bolt/penny.

Not everything in life can be certain, not everything around one's self is permanent. Life is a series of different directions wether destined or simple freak of nature, we must take this as it comes to us and accept the consequences and the facts that we as beings on this planet may not all come out alright. For humans that is a concept we can grasp, but trying having a loyal companion of a different species accept it.

outside the city limits, there was an old victorian home that sat on the county road. at this residence had anyone turned their head towards it going down the road, they would have noticed a white german shepard laying out in the front lawn, taking in the gently summer breeze as it flowed through his fur. If you knew anything about this dog, you'd know about the challeges he had faced, the ordeals he went through. This was one of the most likely places he would be found when the weather was nice, letting himself take in every aspect of a real home, of a true dog's life and all the spoils that went along with it.

Having been under the constant stress of keeping his loved one safe from deadly opponents when he was a media icon, Bolt never really found time for himself to relax and truly take in what it ment to be a canine. Not that he had cared about his personal life very much when he was in the studio, his attention was always focused on Penny always on guard, much like a canine marine he looked out for Penny, his person. Penny was one of the few parts of life that made him happy to be alive, to have purpose was important to him and what greater responsiblity could he have asked for than to look after his person. Newcomers to the family, Mittens and Rhino, understood this bond between the girl and this dog, mittens, who'd been in a family before, understood what it felt like to have love radiate off someone onto you, and knowing that person actually cared for you. A swish of the pet flap on the front door The black and white skinny tabby made her way out onto the porch and layed out on the soft cushioned bench swing, looking down at the companion who'd brought her here, who'd brought her a new life.

"So, the mighty and powerful dog of wonder does take vacations after all." She said slyly.

The white shepard blinked and eye open, lazily directing it to the familer voice,

"Oh let me sleep in peace, degenerant creature of darkness, hehe." He responded, chuckling to himself. Mittens shook her head at this, a small smile finding its way onto her face at the oh so fond memories they shared. She stood up slowly, pulling herself forward as she streched herself out and then walking up next to the snoozing pooch. Easing herself onto the grass, she laid beside the former action hero.

"hmm, you may be on to something with this laying on a lawn." Mittens purred, letting the blades of grass adhere to her body, her head softly cushioned as she turned to her side.

"mmmhmm." Bolt murmured as he attempted to return to his slumber, wishing Penny could stop going to the late school practices for the dramafests that were held that month. Even though he knew she had to go away for some periods of time during the day, he was just naturally clingy to her. Twisting and turning so he could let the grass scratch those unreachable spots on his back, pausing as he stared up at the blue sky, watching the few clouds that stood drift off in other directions, he turned on his side facing Mittens with a slight groan.

"Hey, Mittens?"

"yeah?

"Um, if I asked you for a favor..." Bolt hesitated for a moment, unsure if he really should even ask. Mittens looked up at him and raised an eyebrow,

"what KIIINDa favor we asking for?" Her true New York accent falling through in her voice. Bolt shrugged, he hated asking things of people, begging was the worst for him, but some thing had to be done.

"Uh..if a certain dog, maybe asked you to...uh..." He didn't get a chance to finish the sentence as the black and white tabby slowly got to her feet and walked up behind the canine. Using the best of her knuckles, she slowly made her way up and down his back, using both paws to get an added effect. With increasing rythem, she soon found parts next to his shoulderblades that made him grin with extasy. A contenting sigh leaving the pooch's mouth as Mittens worked on his lower back, his left leg unable to keep for spasming in enjoyment. rolling onto his back, letting her relaxe once again, he smiled. She merely smirked and looked down at him, staring as his tail thumped in a most complimenting manner to her.

"Jeez I can read you like a book. " The dog shrugged his shoulders, letting out a bark of agreement.

After a nice restful hour went by, the pair headed back inside, passing their friend Rhino, who'd fallen asleep in his ball infront of the T.V of all places. Bolt stopped Mittens with his paw and motioned with his head to Rhino. Mittens sat back and watched the dog creep silently up to the unconcious hamster, trying to keep the cushions from shifting as he clambered onto the red and golden couch. He then sat on his back two legs and ever so gently placed his paws on either side of the plastic ball. The cat had to put a paw to her mouth to keep the giggle to a minimum as she knew what was coming next. She then nodded to bolt for apporval and the canine suddenly JERKED the ball off the couch and began shaking it madly.

"RHINO!!! ITS AN EARTHQUAKE!!! EARTHQUAKE RUNNNN!!!! AUUGGHHH!!!" The ever so energetic hampster bounced off almost every part of the ball, both in shock and in the force from Bolt's paws. Setting him down, Rhino quickly gathered his eyes and let them focus for a secound before angrily twisting off the door to his ball and marching up to his hero, who laid sprawled out on his back laughing his fur off.

"AUGH! BOLT of all the people who I thought I could trust to allow a little hampster, who did NOTHING TO YOU, a little bit of sleep after enduring a hour of Matt Damon's movies!!!" He hopped on the dog's chest and pointed a finger at him menacingily. Bolt regained his composure and looked back at the little mammal on his chest.

"Ha, I'm sorry Rhino, I owed Mittens something, she scratched my back for me." Rhino sighed and sent a nasty glare the cat's way.

"Oh you are in for it now kitty." With that, he headed back for his ball, yet instead of climbing into it, he actually managed a way to pick it up. He grinned at Mittens evily. Mittens saw where this was going, and she didn't like the look of it.

"Hey! R-RHino, don't you da- AUGH!" Mittens was forced to cut her words short as the mighty Rhino, with the strength of a rabbit on steriods (imagine that) chucked the large plastic orb of doom at her head. Ducking just in time, she let the ball bounce off the table leg behind her.

A loud ringing was heard as the family's phone went off, distracting the three pets from their current affairs. Bolt watched as his owner's mother dropped her papers and rushed over to the phone. She was not a person to ever miss calls, having her daughter in a tv show had taught her that noone likes having to call people back or even simply leave messages, that it was better to simply be there to answer when any call came in.

Bolt was a bit curious who was on the other end of the line, noone every called at this time of day, ussually it was in the mornings, right when his Penny went off to school and the mother had the house to herself to work. Watching her reactions drove his curiosity even futher as her manner seemed to change dramatically from calm and collected to panic and frustration.

"Oh my Go-Well what do you mean, where is she? I-Okay, but thats...right I know but-hey JUST HOLD A SECOND DAMMIT! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTER???" The large ears of Bolt's jumped up at the mention of Penny. Her mother slammed the phone down after being told to be put on hold once again. Shaking, she ran a hand through her hair, worry and fear tracing her features as she raced to the closet, grabbing her jacket and purse and running out the door. Bolt ran to the window to see her whip out of the driveway and onto the main road. A cold chill ran through his blood as he got back down from the window, unsure of what was wrong, all he knew was Penny was in danger.

"What happened, what happened to Penny, why is Karen so upset?" He asked out loud, Mittens was just as unimformed as Bolt, but he looked very paniced. Bolt raced over to the remote that controlled the magic box an flipped onto a local news station. The sight that came on made Bolt's eyes grow huge with worry. There were several ambulances and police cars on the scene before them. Many people in the background looked either hurt or shaken and scared miserably. What made his heart stop was when he ignored the frantic reporter and scanned the label the reporter had done on the screen.
