Well, here I am again, I usuaually tend to favor writing Hey Arnold fan fics, but I really loved the movie Bolt and like many others felt there was a good potential for a relationship between Bolt and Mittens, despite the species barrier. Then again, its not as much as a stretch as the coupling in "The Wild" with Benny the Squirrel and Bridget the Giraffe pairing up.
Well with out further delay, I present "Bolt's Odyseey" hope you enjoy.
"Bolt's odyssey"
Life As Always
Chapter 1
It was a warm summer day on the farm, the faint sounds of birds could be heard in the distance as a white furred canine was sleeping idly in the shade on the porch, when he his sleep was interrupted by a slight rumbling sensation from the wood boards that made up the porch. Bolt's ears gave a slight twitch as the sound of a plastic ball on wood grew louder and louder with each passing second then suddenly the sound stopped and for a second Bolt thought it was part of a dream but then was shaken back to reality as the hamster spoke up "Good morning Bolt, how's it going?" Bolt felt the bright light reflected off the deck and winced slightly as his eyes adjusted to the light. Then noticed Rhino in his new ball as his old one was crushed in the attempt to save penny from the fire.
Bolt couldn't help but feel a flashback to that day at the film studio when he heard Penny's cries for help and rushing into the flaming building as Rhino's ball held up the debris, then running through the collapsing set and chunks of fiery debris fell all around him feeling the heat grow all around him and smoke flooding his lungs, using every bit of strength he can muster to find Penny, and once he had found her, he managed to pull her to relative safety but collapsed from exhaustion just before rescue crews found them.
Suddenly the white canine was brought out of his flashback from Rhino "Hey Bolt, you there, earth to Bolt" Rhino waved a small hand in front of him from inside his ball. Bolt snapped to attention and looked at Rhino "Oh hi Rhino, sorry I was lost in thought." Bolt said a little tired before letting out a yawn and getting up stretching his hind legs before his front legs. He surveyed the farm briefly not seeing anyone else and even the car missing, "Where's everyone?" Rhino looked to where the car would be parked "Oh they went to the market for a few things, I got bored watching the magic box, you know ever since the new Bolt show had the alien episode it just went downhill from there"
Bolt nodded and just started to walk to wake himself up a bit from his long nap, as he took in his surroundings, it was still hard to imagine all of this was real, even it had been nearly a year since the show ended and had their first winter here, Bolt chuckled lightly remembering the time he ran head first into the snow for the first time and no one could see him from his white fur and the surrounding snow, it took Mittens to track him though the snow, she had been able to find his scent and follow him. Suddenly his thoughts shifted in mid thought to Mittens. The street cat he meet in New York, when the biggest adventure of his life began, when he had tied up Mittens to himself in order to get her to help him back to Hollywood and to Penny. He let out a soft sigh thinking of her and about how his feelings toward her changed over their cross country trip from New York to Hollywood. But just as he was thinking about her and their adventure, the distant sound of a van driving up to the house drew his attention toward it and almost immediately felt happy knowing that his human Penny was home along with Mittens.
The light blue van pulled up near the house and stopped, suddenly a few seconds later Penny came out of the van and saw Bolt "Hey Bolt, here boy" she said urging him to come to her so she could pet and hug him as she always did when she came home and saw Bolts happy look on his face and tail wagging. Penny wrapped her arms around him holding him close feeling his warm soft fur on her check then just as she pulled away he licked her face a few times leaving trails of slobber on her face, she let out a giggle as she whipped it off, "Oh Bolt, I love you too, now how about we go inside" She said as she stood up and went to the house and just as Bolt was about to follow her, he heard a familiar voice from behind "Hey Bolt." His ears perked up instantly at hearing Mittens voice and for reasons he couldn't quite place or come to terms with, he felt suddenly happy and joyful when ever she was near. As he turned around he could see her walking up to her, as the sun light glistened off her black fur.
"Hi Mittens" he said as she caught up to him and they started toward the house walking side by side. There was a momentary silence before Bolt said something to break the silence. "So where did you guys go?" asked Bolt, Mittens stood a bit proudly and lifted her neck showing Bolt a brand new collar that Penny had gotten her. "Check it out" She said proudly "Nice, I like it…it...it matches your eyes" the new collar was green with went nicely with her black fur and green eyes. Mittens blushed lightly under her fur from Bolts remark "Thanks Bolt" and without thinking she rubbed herself against him as a sign of affection, but suddenly realized what she was doing and made an excuse to get out of there "Oh, uh, I think I'll go check on Rhino, you know how he is" with that she left leaving Bolt feeling very curious about Mittens sudden affection.
Mittens had made it to the other side of the house and headed to the barn to have some privacy to think to herself and what she did, she thought to herself, she knew she liked Bolt, and through there adventure together, she couldn't really imagine life without him, but in recent months her feelings for him were growing and she couldn't explain it, one side of her was in complete denial due to the simple fact that cats and dogs usually never get along and the idea of falling for a dog was alien to her, on the other, she just wanted to be with him, to share their lives together. And then just as she was in mid thought about Bold, she heard a light coughing sound and snapped around to see Rhino in his ball looking at her with a slight sternness and disbelief "Oh hey there Rhino, you nearly gave me a fright" he kept his composure "I'm sure I did, and doth my eyes deceive me or did I see you snuggle up to Bolt?" "Mittens felt at a lose for words, but then tried to play it off, "Well its nothing, he paid me a complement about my new collar" she said as she showed him" "Well it is nice, but, usually a simple thank you will suffice." Mittens felt that Rhino did have a point, in most cases a thank you between friends is more then enough, but she also felt like she was more then friends. "Well ok I did snuggle up to him" she finally admitted "I mean, for a dog he does have certain qualities that could be charming in some way" she then caught herself and faked a small cough. "For a dog I mean" Rhino just looked at her, then nodded then suddenly lightened up "oh, ok well nice talking to cat" then rolled off in his ball toward the house. Mittens just sat there as Rhino left, she felt like her world was changing and she wondered if she was ready for it.
So what did you think, not off to an exciting start, but it will come soon enough, and Bolt will face challenges that nothing in life has prepared him for.
Untill next time, Jarel kortan Signing out
