Chapter 1: Happy Birthday, Bolt!
It's been a year since Bolt's amazing journey across the states with Mittens the cat and Rhino the hamster. They were able to find Bolt's beloved person, Penny and Bolt was able to live life as a normal dog would. Mittens seem to be Penny's mother favorite and is finally happy that she has a place to call home. As for Rhino, well, he's just happy to be living with his favorite television hero.
But today is Bolt's birthday and everyone was setting up while Penny took him out for a walk.
"No no, the presents go on the table, Rhino." Mittens was placing all the balloons in certain spots while directing Rhino, telling him where things should go.
"But don't you think that Bolt's presents should be on the floor? Where he can at least reach them?" Rhino pushed two wrapped ball shaped presents to the table. A few dogs that were friends of Bolt's were there helping out Mittens and Rhino get ready for Bolt's surprise party.
Penny's mother was hanging up some banners in the door ways. Mittens jumped unto the table where Bolt's birthday cake was placed and closely examined the cake and saw that there were two small hand prints in the icing. She looked over at Rhino, who had icing around his mouth.
"What? I had to make sure it wasn't made of Styrofoam. You know what it does to Bolt!" He defensively walked away. Mittens just shook her head and looked outside and saw Penny and Bolt approaching the house.
"He's back! Quick! Places everyone!" Everyone quickly scattered into hiding places, Rhino and Mittens hiding under the table, while others chose places like the closet and curtains. Penny's mother turned off all the lights just as Penny turned onto the pathway to their front door.
"See, Bolt? Wasn't that a fun walk? Maybe next time you'll catch that crazy squirrel that you always chase at the park." Penny softly petted Bolt's head and he barked happily in return. Penny took out her keys to the door and opened the door.
"You can go in, Bolt. I'm just going to get the mail from the mailbox." Penny took the leash off his collar and walked back to the mail box. Bolt walked into the house and looked around.
"Wow, I wonder why all of the lights are off…" Bolt walked around a bit to examine around a bit.
"Surprise!" The lights came on and everyone came out of their hiding places. Poor Bolt almost had a heart attack from the surprise. Penny came up to him and hugged him tightly to reassure him.
"Happy Birthday, Bolt." She petted to him to calm him from such a startle. Rhino seemed to have a good laugh seeing that he was rolling on the floor laughing, while Mittens also stifled a laugh or two.
"Haha, I'm glad you guys found that funny." Bolt walked over to Mittens and Rhino.
"Sorry, but you should've seen your face." Mittens smiled at him. "How does it feel to be a year older?"
"Well, when you're a dog, it's another 7 years older. But I guess it feels good, I'm feeling pretty good." Bolt wagged his tail a bit.
"That's good to hear then. We hope you like dog biscuit cake with milk icing, cause that's what you're special cake is." Mittens walked off to the cake table.
"Aren't you going to eat some?" Bolt laughed, already knowing the answer.
"Nah, it's more of a dog thing." Mittens smiled.
"Here, Bolt. It's cake time." Penny called to him and went over and picked him up and brought him over the cake table. There stood the three layered, dog biscuit milk-icing cake, illuminating with 6 red and yellow candles. Penny's mother turned off the lights once again.
"It's time to sing happy birthday to the birthday boy." Penny's mother smiled and looked at Penny and the others.
"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Bolt, Happy Birthday to you." Everyone sang to Bolt who seemed quite embarrassed to have the spotlight on him, which is kind of ironic due to his many years in the spot light.
"Alright, Bolt, you gotta blow out the candles on the cake, okay boy?" Penny hinted to him to blow the candles out.
"Super Bark! Super Bark!" Rhino jumped up and down hyperactively. Bolt nodded and took a deep breath and barked out five of the six candles. Mittens helped him out with the sixth candle by blowing it out.
"Alright, who wants cake?" Penny's mother started cutting the cake. Penny placed Bolt down and went to help her mother. Bolt walked over and looked at the pile of presents.
"Hmmm… what are in these boxes?" He started to sniff a few of the boxes.
"You know, in order to find out, you gotta open them." Mittens sat down next him. Bolt smirks and rolled one of the presents.
"Well, this one is obviously a ball." He sniffed out a box shaped present. "And this one is dog snacks."
"Wow, and I thought that would be impossible to figure out." Mittens' sarcasm never ceased to surprise him.
Bolt looked around and noticed a box with holes in it and examined it.
"But I can't seem to figure out what this one is, though." He sniffed it and gently tapped it with his paw.
The box started moving a bit with a hopping motion and startled Bolt.
"What is that thing?! It's moving! Boxes don't move! It has to be Styrofoam!!!" Bolt ran to Penny, nearly knocking her over, barking like crazy and ran back to the box.
"Bolt? What's wrong?" Penny looked at what he was barking at. "I guess it's time to open up presents."
