Bolt: Uncertainty
Chapter 1: Confliction
Disclaimer: I do not own Bolt or any of its characters. Disney does.
Bolt laid on the porch of Penny's house as he felt the relaxing breeze of the night. No way. He thought to himself. There's just no way. He laid his head on his paw, watching the grass dance with the wind. How can I even think that? He sighed heavily. I'm a dog, and she..she's a cat. What's wrong with me? For the past two months, he had been living with Penny and her mother, along with Mittens and Rhino.
He and Mittens have been even closer friends than ever before. However, for the past week, he felt as if there was something more to be said than that. Was it love? Could he truly love her? He couldn't tell if it was or if he even had feelings for her. He sighed and sat up gazing at the stars. A few seconds later, he heard something behind him, but didn't bother to see what it was.
"Bolt?" called a voice
Bolt turned around to see none other than Mittens behind him. "Hey Mittens." responded Bolt, refusing to meet her gaze. "How are you?"
"Other than the fact that I had to get away from that geek Rhino, I'm fine. Thanks for asking." She said while smiling.
He slightly chuckled at the remark. "That's good." said Bolt in a saddened voice still refusing to make eye contact.
Mittens smile died and turned into a concerned expression. "What's wrong Bolt?" she asked.
"Nothing. Just..." He sighed heavily. "Thinking."
Mittens walked up to him and sat next to him. She met his gaze, but quickly lost it. "Seriously Bolt, what's wrong?" She was concerned for him. She hadn't seen him this depressed since he thought Penny loved another dog.
Bolt sighed again and met her gaze once more. He was reluctant to give her an answer. "I don't know Mittens. I just don't know."
Mittens sighed and laid her head on Bolt's chest.
A large blush appeared on Bolt's face. "Mi-Mittens? Wha-what are you doing?"
She rolled her eyes. "I'm making sure my super dog is okay! Is there something wrong with that?"
Bolt's blush deepened even more at her last statement. "N-no, not at all. Thank you." He sat there letting Mittens rest her head on his chest. He was actually enjoying the feeling of her being close to him. He enjoyed the way her head fit perfectly in his chest. It felt nice, and he didn't want to stop.
She lifted her head off his chest and faced him. "Anytime Bolt." She stretched a bit while saying, "It's late Bolt. I'm going to bed, you should do the same. Goodnight."
Bolt nodded. "Okay, I'm going stay out here for a few more minutes. Goodnight Mittens!" He watched Mittens walk in through the doggy door. He laid back down, resting his head on his paw. Wow that felt... nice. I actually enjoyed her cuddling up to me. I-I guess I really do love her, but how? Bolt walked into the house, with his paws pressing on the cold tile floor.
He passed by Rhino, whom was watching "The Empire Strikes Back." Bolt rolled his eyes. Doesn't that hamster ever stop watching the "Magic Box?" Oh well. He walked into his room where He, Penny, and Mittens slept. The room was already dark. He found Penny and Mittens sleeping soundly next to one another. A smile grew on Bolt's face. They both look so cute when they sleep. Bolt jumped onto the bed by Penny. He circled on the bed a few times before finding a spot he would lay at. Once he found his spot, he began to ponder on his thoughts. I-I truly do love her. He stared at the black cat whom was resting peacefully. But how and why do I feel this way about her? Bolt sighed once more. Whatever, I'll figure it out tomorrow. He laid his head on Penny's shoulder and immediately dozed off.
Well chapter one is complete. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I'll have chapter 2 up by Friday or Saturday. Thanks for reading, and please review!
