It was just about three days since the 'Nuclear Incident'. Penny and the gang were on their way to Hawaii. Doctor DT himself had gladly paid off the entire trip. This included, the airfare, taxes, the hotel rent for about two weeks and other purchases, while he and crew members scanned their property for radiation. So the family will be in paradise for about two weeks. Until then they could relax and let DT handle all the problems. What even better is the pets; Bolt, Mittens and Rhino went to paradise too! This was like a dream to them.
Well, sort of. The torture was on the way there. What was it? Did the plane have a lot of turbulence? Was the flight delayed? Or was it even in trouble? Well, it was none of these… The plane had little turbulence. The flight was not delayed. (DT made sure of that…) Then, there was no trouble on board at all. So, what can it be? Since the trio was allowed in the cabin, and Penny and her mom were just fine, it had to be one of the three…. But which? Which one can it be?
Bolt was lying on Penny's lap. He looked around as a stewardess asked them if they wanted anything. He soon noticed something. Mittens was missing! He jumped down, which gave Penny a small shock until she realized he was only going under the seat. He looked back and forth until he saw a thin line swaying gently. It was Mittens' tail. He then called her name.
"Mittens?"
Mittens turn and came out from the darkness. Bolt was surprised, she seemed green. Of course not literally! But, you know… the other green. Mittens seemed abnormal, her eye lids dropped, and she was slightly shaking. He was rather concerned.
"M- Mittens, are you okay?"
Mitten was paying attention.
"Mittens?" he repeated.
This time she shook her head and said, "HUH?"
"Mittens you seem out of it."
"What? I'm feeling perfectly fine…" She said. Bolt knew she was bluffing, because the way she looked was the total opposite of fine.
"Mittens…"
Mittens walked out into the brightness, now Bolt could see it clear as day. Mittens looked very, very abnormal. He didn't know what to do or ask. Mittens sat down and slowly swayed from side to side. Then out of nowhere her cheeks puffed up, then went down. She shivered after that. Now Bolt was really worried. He walked closer to her.
"Mittens, please what's wrong?"
She looked up and her stomach growled, but they already ate. Bolt never seen anything like this before. Mittens then groaned a little, rubbing her mid-section. What's happening?
"B- Bolt…" She finally said. "I- I'm…"
"You're…" Bolt tried to get her to continue.
"I- I'm not feeling so good." She said shaking her head. Bolt stepped closer.
"Why is that?" He asked.
Mittens only had one idea.
"I guess me and a full stomach aren't a fan of flying." She said, burping a little. Bolt looked away to think.
"Well, do you need something, or someone to keep you company?"
Mittens smiled the best she could.
"Bolt, that's so sweet of you, but I don't want you to get pulled into my own problems."
Bolt sat down next to her, smiling widely. He put a paw behind her back and petted her. She liked it when he did this; she always started to purr every time.
"Come on… I insist."
Mittens thought about it.
"Besides, you are a friend." He added in. He then leaned in closer and whispered. "Maybe even a little more than friends."
Mittens remembered, they were both in a hallway, alarm lights spinning, tiles of ceiling falling, alarms blaring and a voice, a voice that was counting from ten, the final ten seconds until the detonation. The two hugged tightly. Then not knowing their fate, Mittens admitted her secret to him. He did the same.
"Mittens?" Bolt said.
Mittens shook her head as she was pulled from her flashback. She smiled and rolled her eyes.
"Oh all right…" She playfully groaned. She patted a spot beside her. Bolt circled it and curled up.
"Just don't be up my butt whenever I get sick…"
Then the two dozed off. The two snored lightly and even ended up getting curled together. They snored off, even when there was a flash of a camera.
"That's a keeper!" Exclaimed Penny, as she showed her mom the newly snapped picture.
