"Thunder, thunder!" The shouts of the crowd didn't even make her flinch. She stood on her four paws and posed showing off the white bolt painted on her side. Her shades flying off her muzzle into the crowd before making a stern and brace facial expression, the fans screamed and cheered, flashes were everywhere. And she could see out of the corner of her eye people fighting for her sunglasses she threw. A line started for form, she sat down now washing one of her paws. She barked happily and waited patiently. And ink pad sat next to her paws and soon the line was moving. She stamped away at pictures and magazines with her face on it. Her fans cuddled her and snapped picture after picture, and she just smiled and stayed calm throughout the whole thing. Than the people started to slow, the pictures stopped and the fans died down. She nosed her handler for another pair of her sunglasses. As they were placed on her head she started walking towards the exit of the building. She stayed by her handlers side never needing a leash to keep her close. She hopped into the van and into her bed before they headed off.
" Back from the adoring fans..?" A black cat spoke up, still resting in his bed on the tour bus couch.
" Yup, pretty energetic today." Skye replied as she scratched her neck with her back paw, her head raising up slightly enjoying the nice itch. " I'm ready to go home...big comfy bed, beef dog food, all my chew toys." Her voice was soft and tired as she laid her head down on her bed getting comfortable.
" Agreed, although I want cat food." The black cat chuckled as he washed himself.
" Goodnight…" Skye's voice trailed off as she dozed off into her dreams.
The slam of a door made her jump awake startled by the commotion. But she relaxed seeing the producer come in. Her tail wagged as she let out a few small barks.
"Yes, yes Skye, i know i'm here, how was your tour girl." The man said bringing a treat down to Skye having her take it and hoped on the the tour bus couch. The man sat down beside her petting her softly. Another man entered the bus smiling like crazy.
" Mr. Handson, you wouldn't believe it." He paused waiting for him to ask.
" Spit it out Jeff, i'm not interested in guessing games." He said with an aggressive tone.
" They said yes, we are making the movie, but we have to pay more than you wanted to hire them." The man jumped off the couch in excitement.
"Yes! William Handson presents, Thunder Bolt!" Skye's head turned slightly when she heard thunder.
"Cat!" She whispered loud enough to walk the sleeping cat." Who's this...Bolt?"
The cat stirred awake, yawning and stretching his paws out. "Um...an old dog who used to work here.?"
Skye sat for a moment thinking about it. "Thanks for your help."
The cat sighed and laid himself back down. "No problem.." He dozed off again.
Suddenly there was a click on Skye's collar, a leash was connected to it. She looked to it surprised glancing to her owner then back to the leash. Her first reaction was to bite the leash, pulling and tugging.
"I'm sorry girl, but we are going to meet one of our costars, and we need to make sure you're both friendly with each other." William said to Skye as he dragged her out of the bus. She pulled reluctantly and held back with her strength, but her owner was persistent. She pinned her ears back and sighed being tugged along to the building.
"Here girl." William set a pair of sunglasses on her head. "I know you love them."
He was right, it got her more attention from the fans, so why not wear them. She scampered over to the room he was leading her to. There stood two women, one smaller than the other. And out of the conner of her eye she saw a white thing. She tilted her head to see more and froze. The dog looked exactly like her, but all white, with a black bolt on his side. She glanced at her side and saw her white bolt. Maybe she looked exactly like him…. She brushed her sunglasses down just a tad to get a better look. Seeing him in the real light. The second he noticed she was looking she pushed the glasses back up and looked away. She completely ignored the humans and there talking, her eyes were locked on Bolt. There was a quick tug on her leash, but she ignored giving a small and sharp growl. Her ears pinned back and her teeth bared slightly.
"Skye!" William voice in suprise. "I swear she had never done that to another dog, maybe we should go for a walk or the dog park? Maybe they can get more acquainted?" Bolt looked to Skye with a surprised look as well. He opened his mouth in protest to her agresstion, but she quickly interrupted.
" Don't speak to me!" Skye snapped to him, turning and heading for the door, her tail help up high and head high, this was her turf. Bolt looked confused, but rolled his eyes and followed being lead by Penny.
Penny spoke up. " I herd that in Thunder, she has a human named Joshua, is...he here?" Her face was flushed a little. William took notice and smirked softly, his voice was calm and polite." Yes penny, and you would even be working with him on set for Thunder Bolt. Bolt trotted up beside Skye and looked to her. "So on the big box at home they call you Thunder, but I herd the man call you Skye? Is that your name." He gave a small friendly and nervous smile towards her. She turned sharply and got in his face, she hated that she was a bit shorter than him.
" If you must know it's called a call name, and apparently you weren't important enough to have one, or not smart enough to distinguish one name from another." Her tone was rude and filled with disgust. Bolt stopped in his tracks and looked puzzled to her, he blinked a few times trying to figure out why he didn't get a call name. He opened his mouth again to explain, but Skye had already turned around and was off further than him. " What have I done to her?" He shook his head and began walking again catching up to penny's side.
