I always wondered what Bolt's first reaction to snow would be like. It only showed a small little shot in the whole movie of Bolt in the snow during the "barking at the moon" song scene... The average person wouldn't remember it and would have to watch the movie again to notice.
Here is is: In his life on the air, watched by thousands, and captivated in a studio for years on end, I wanted to see his first reaction with snow. I assumed it took place somewhere in the Rocky mountains cause they were near there at the time.
I'm having it take place on Mt. Timpanogus in Utah. During...oh let's say February.
The Deleted Scene
It's been almost Two weeks since the dog catcher incident with the exploding truck and such.
These three heroes were on their way through the hills, valleys, and cities of the United states.
Eventually, time and a series of unforgettable events led them to this moment...:
Bolt woke up from a thud or vibration of the Tran's impact. He looked up to notice the early sun over the hills.
Bolt stretched out his front legs and released a yawn bringing him to full alertness.
He turned to his side to see a soundly sleeping Mittens.
Bolt smiled at this quietly resting cat. The last person he ever expected to save him from his former super life, to receive a real one.
Laying back down, Bolt was wondering to himself what he would have done without her at his side to soon show him what he's missing in this world.
He moved closer to Mittens until he was in a position you might say a bit of a protective, or cuddly position.
He reclined and began to ask himself why he was so rude to this creature. She almost never did anything to him, unless of course that was running away in fear of more Interstate jumping. His expression saddened. The one thing, and only that that he knew he wouldn't be able to bare, is losing the person who saved him so much more than he ever could do the same.
He turned his thoughts back to sleeping. The moments weren't right for contemplating something that will only make him regret the past once again. He sighed outwardly hoping to get tired soon, until he noticed movement to his side.
The cat yawned and suddenly jumped. He backed off awkwardly as she turned to a defensive stance. She softened her expression.
"Oh," He giggled weirdly. "It's you."
Bolt laughed nervously. "Yeah, sorry about that. It was getting colder." He slapped his face with his paw, Is that the only thing you could possibly say in defense?
"Yeah, I noticed that about a half hour ago." Mittens suddenly The altitude is different up here." Mittens turned around and faced the open doors on the side of the train.
Bolt looked up at her. It is?
He looked out side and noticed a large, flat Vally. They were on some sort of hill overlooking the city below. But where were they?
"Hey Bolt, This is probably U.S.A.'s Everest. We're close to it's younger sibling, The Rockies." She was looking at the map laid out on the floor of the boxcar.
Bolt smiled and walked over. "What state is it than?"
A sudden screech came from the other end of the car. Rhino came rolling up to them.
"I had a horrible night on this train. Please tell me we're getting off soon."
"Rhino, look at this. Where are we?"
Rhino examined the map in a split second than looked back. "I believe it's obvious, cat."
"Oh really? How do you think I would know it?"
"Uh, you just said the Rockies were here. We're in South Caria." He smiled as he stuck out his tongue.
"Nu-huh, we're in Colorado. I knew it already."
"Not anymore." Bolt said as he looked at the map again. He looked up at them. "We're closer than that. We're in Utah."
"Where's that?" Rhino asked.
"Here." Bolt showed the map to Rhino.
"The pineapple with the funny fruit hat?" Rhino guessed.
"No, it's the canyon arch with the smiling sun." He looked at the distance from the map. Than he looked up to see the outside. He whispered as if addressing the distance. "We're almost there Penny. Don't worry."
That name never was appealing to Mittens. She always did everything in her power to make Bolt forget that he was going back to her. She turned around and reclined as she stared into the corner. Bolt turned and noticed Mittens was not very happy. He walked up to her and settled at her side. He didn't know why she was always bugged by something.
"Mittens, are you o-"
"Yes, I'm fine! Thanks."
Bolt cocked an eyebrow. He believed she was anything but 'fine'. He slowly moved in a bit closer.
"Mittens, What's wrong?"
She stood up and walked to the other side of the boxcar, angrily reclining there.
Bolt couldn't figure out what was making her so mad. He decided it was best to leave her alone.
But then he thought about that He couldn't just ignore her. Mittens was always there for him, he had to be there for her.
But at that time Rhino yelled from the back near the opening, "Hey, Bolt come here for a minute."
"I'll be right there Rhino." Bolt told him.
Mittens turned over, enraged. "Bolt look, I just want to be alone. I'm deep in my own thoughts like you are. Stop patronizing me!"
Bolt looked down. "Maybe I can help you feel better Mittens."
"Bolt!" Rhino yelled from behind.
Bolt rolled his eyes. Mittens turned around. "Just go."
"Bolt!"
He turned around angrily. "What's the problem Rhi-" He stopped himself and looked around. The map was gone.
"I couldn't hang on to it!"
Bolt Ran toward the open doors to see a colored piece of paper way off in the distance.
Mittens looked up at Rhino. "What the heck did you do?!"
Rhino tried to look innocent. "It slipped from under the ball. I couldn't possibly grab it...DUH!"
"RHINO!" Mittens screamed.
There was than a huge bump in the train's path, making all of them react instantly.
It knocked Mittens off balance. She screamed in horror!
Bolt trying to regain his footing saw Mittens quickly snatching her scruff with his teeth.
Mittens' screaming continued. Bolt held on to her tightly, and as if nothing could get worse, the train was than on a turning path.
Bolt struggled to keep a grip on Mittens. The train's force was strongly pinning him to the side of the wall, making it all that much more of a challenge to keep hold of her.
"Mittens, Stop moving!" He tried to say, instead it sounded muffled.
Mittens tried not to move. At that moment, a tree on the side of the track was in Bolt's vision. And something else, Rhino had disappeared. "RHINO!" He couldn't find him.
The tree was right in front of them, the train seemed to pick up speed, as it hit yet another bump.
Bolt grimaced as he with Mittens, were thrown right off of the train, just missing the tree.
Bolt couldn't keep his grip on Mittens, and in that moment the terrified cat slipped from his grasp, just as his head hit a tree, and he was violently tossed into the ground.
At that point Bolt could only recall a softness that was like heaven surround him as he was thrown into it like it was a big cushioned landing. But the only disclaimer, was that it was frigid cold, something quite unorthodox for such a fall.
But before he could dig deeper into the mystery, the world around him fell silent.
