A/N: Hi! Thanks for dropping by to check out my story! This story idea developed after I saw a picture themed after Kimi No Na Wa (Your Name) with Hiro from Big Hero 6 and Penny from Bolt (shoutouts to DAsKeTcHeRZ for making the picture and inspiring me to make this story). I thought of a good idea to combine the two universes, and that's how this story came to be (that and there aren't a whole lot of BH6 x Bolt crossovers, but I digress). The central driving force of this story is going to be a Hiro x Penny pairing. If you are not a fan of the pairing, I'm sorry for not meeting your expectations but I really don't have anything else to say but keep looking. I'm sure that eventually you'll find something that tickles your fancy (Or who knows? Maybe you'll end up creating your own story). But enough of that, it's time to get to what you all have been waiting for. May I present to you, The Hero and the Lucky Penny. Enjoy!
(I'm only going to do this part once since I think we all get the idea after, like, two chapters.)

Prologue: A Furry Meeting
The time was 6:43 in the afternoon. The last few stragglers had finally left and the Lucky Cat Cafe was preparing to close early. Inside of the kitchen, a brown-haired woman in her mid-thirties was washing dishes and cups left by the customers that day. The kitchen was filled with the smell of freshly baked cookies, used coffee grinds, and sandwich components. The setting sun cast an orange light through the small window above the sink. A nine-year old boy carried in the last of the dishes and cups and set it down next to the sink.
"Thank you, Hiro." Aunt Cass replied to Hiro with a smile as she took the newly received dishes and began cleaning them. "You and Tadashi both are such huge helpers!"
"You're welcome, Aunt Cass." Hiro said while giving a toothy smile. He had a small gap between his top front teeth.
"Alright, Aunt Cass." A 14-year old boy walked into the kitchen holding a dustpan and a broom. "I just finished sweeping the floor. Don't these people know how to eat at the table and not on the floor?"
Aunt Cass laughed. "I can only wonder Tadashi."
"So, why are we closing up early today?" asked Hiro. "Is there something special going on?"
"Actually," Aunt Cass replied while turning her attention back to the dirty dishes in the sink. "We have a very special guest coming today."
"Who is it?" asked a curious Tadashi while putting the cleaning supplies away.
"Her name is Susan Forrester." Aunt Cass said while placing the last dish into the dishwasher and taking of her cat-themed cleaning gloves. "I call her 'Susie.' She was my college classmate when I was in school. She is going to be moving to San Fransokyo soon so I invited her over today to catch up for old times' sake."
"Cool!" said Hiro. "When is she coming?"
The front door chime let out a jingle as the door opened.
"Right about now." Aunt Cass said while flashing a smile and heading out of the kitchen.
Hiro and Tadashi looked at each other briefly and then followed Aunt Cass out of the kitchen.
Standing at the front of the store was a woman with short brown hair, a young girl with short red hair, and an excited-looking small white shepherd puppy.
"Cassie!" the woman suddenly opened her arms towards her former classmate.
"Susie!" Aunt Cass accepted her former classmate's hug.
"It's been way too long. How have you been?"
"I've been doing terrific. And you?" responded Aunt Cass.
"I've been doing wonderfully. I see you've finally opened up your dream cafe."
"Sure have. In fact, we've been doing really well recently." Aunt Cass emphasized the 'we'.
"Oh!" the woman looked over Aunt Cass' shoulder and saw Hiro and Tadashi standing next to her. "Well, hello there, boys!"
"Oh, right!" Aunt Cass realized. "Introductions are in order."
The woman placed her hand on her chest. "My name is Susan Forrester. It is a pleasure to meet you."
"Likewise, Ma'am" Tadashi said while going up and shaking her hand. Tadashi then looked at Hiro and slightly nudged his head towards Mrs. Forrester.
"N-nice to meet you." stammered Hiro.
"Aw, well aren't you sweet. Both of you." Mrs. Forrester gushed. Both Hiro and Tadashi scratched the back of their heads.
"U-um, hello." the red-haired girl behind Mrs. Forrester greeted shyly.
"And this is my daughter, Penny Forrester." introduced Mrs. Forrester while gently coaxing Penny in front of her.
"Hi, my name is-" Hiro started. Then, he saw Penny's face. It was the most amazing face he had ever beheld. Sure, he had seen models and actresses on magazines and TV, but this girl was something out of this world! Her hair seemed to glow in the light of the setting sun, and her brown eyes almost seemed to sparkle. As he looked at Penny, words seemed to get stuck in Hiro's throat. He snapped back into reality when Tadashi cleared his throat.
"Bonehead here is Hiro." Tadashi said while mussing his brother's hair. "And my name is Tadashi."
"Hey!" Hiro complained as he tried to straighten his hair.
Penny giggled at the sight. Hiro flushed a slight pink.
"Why don't you talk with Penny, boys?" suggested Aunt Cass. "Mrs. Forrester and I will talk over on that side."
"Sure thing, Aunt Cass." said Tadashi just as Hiro was about to speak. He then walked over to an empty table and sat down. Hiro followed next to Penny and her white puppy.
"Now then," Aunt Cass said while grabbing two cups of coffee for her and her guest. "Where should we start?"
"Where are you from, Penny?" asked Tadashi after everyone settled in.
Penny held her puppy in her lap and was stroking its back. "I'm from Silver Lake, Los Angeles. That's where I got Bolt."
"Your puppy is named Bolt?" asked Hiro while looking at Bolt.
Bolt was looking at Hiro with curious eyes. Hiro held out his hand and gently rubbed Bolt's head, which Bolt seemed to greatly enjoy.
"Yep. He's my good boy." Penny said while holding Bolt out to Hiro. Bolt yipped and began to happily lick Hiro's face.
"He's an energetic one, isn't he?" Hiro asked after wiping the dog drool off on his sleeve.
"Do you guys own any pets?" Penny asked.
"Actually," Tadashi replied. "We have a cat."
"Ooh, really?" Penny asked excitedly. "Bolt loves other pets, even cats! Can we meet your cat?"
"Sure." Tadashi then got out of his seat and walked over to the staircase. When he got to the foot of the stairs, he called up in a loud voice, "Mochi!"
There was a slight thud from the ceiling, and then the sound of paws scampering down the stairs could be heard. Before long, a white, black, and orange bobtail cat had sauntered down the stairs and let out a respectful meow.
"?" Bolt then wandered over to the newcomer and sat down next to Mochi. Mochi looked at Bolt and let out a friendly greeting. Bolt replied with a happy yip.
"They seem to be getting along well." observed Tadashi.
"Oh, yeah." Penny said. "Bolt loves meeting new people and pets."
"While they're conversing, why don't you tell me more about yourself?" asked Tadashi.
"Uh-how old are you?" asked a still-shy Hiro.
"I just turned eight!" Penny said happily. "Bolt was actually my birthday present when I was seven!"
"Oh! Uh. Cool." Hiro stammered. "When's your birthday?"
Mochi and Bolt were having their own conversation apart from their humans.
"Howdy do', my fine fella?" Mochi greeted.
"Hello!" Bolt responded happily. "What's your name?"
"The name's Mochi." the cat replied. "How 'bout you?"
"I'm Bolt!" Bolt replied.
"Knew it." Mochi said while grinning.
"?" Bolt looked confused "Knew what?"
"That yer name's Bolt!" Mochi said. "It's on yer collar tag!"
"Oh!" Bolt looked at his collar. "Of course! It's the name that Penny gave me."
"Yepperro." Mochi said while looking at Penny, who was currently talking to Hiro and Tadashi. "That right there is a special one. Yer lucky to have her as an owner."
"She's really good to me!" Bolt said. "She feeds me, bathes me, and even lets me sleep with her sometimes!"
"Ugh, the bathin' part I could do without." Mochi shivered. "But, yeah. Sounds like she's good to ya."
The two pets watched their owners converse, and then Mochi spoke again.
"Ya know," the cat started. "I have a long history with these here people. Found me in a box outside one day an' took me in. It was real nice of 'em, and they still good to me now. So do me a favor, boyo."
"...Sure?" asked Bolt.
"Treat yer humans with respect." Mochi said. "Love 'em, cherish yer time wit 'em. Then they'll know that yer a true part of them's family, and everbody'll be happy."
"Okay!" Bolt agreed.
At that moment, Mrs. Forrester and Aunt Cass wrapped up their discussion and Aunt Cass took the empty coffee cups into the kitchen.
"Looks like yer goin' soon." said Mochi. "Just remember what I told ya, fella."
"Thanks!" Bolt said. He then ran over to Penny, who picked him up and pet his head.
Mochi nodded and then turned around and climbed back up the stairs.
"Okay, kids." Mrs. Forrester said. "It's time for us to head on out now."
"Okay." Penny said while setting Bolt on the ground and standing up.
"Wait!" Hiro suddenly said. As soon as he said it, a new flush of pink appeared on his face.
"Hiro?" asked Penny.
Mustering all the courage he could, Hiro spoke. "D-do you have a w-way for me to contact you in the future?"
"U-um, y-yeah." a now equally-embarrassed Penny replied. "I could give you my clickchat address."
"Y-you have a clickchat?" asked Hiro. "In that case, I-I'll give you my address too."
Hiro quickly grabbed two pieces of paper and two pens and gave one of both to Penny. The two kids wrote as quickly as they could while Mrs. Forrester and Tadashi watched the entire spectacle unfold.
"H-here you are!" Hiro gave his paper to Penny.
"Y-you too!" Penny handed her paper to Hiro.
After exchanging papers, the two then blushed and stared at the ground. Bolt stared at Penny not sure of what was going on.
"Alright then, time for us to get moving" Mrs. Forrester broke the awkward tension and put her hand on Penny's shoulder. "See you next time, boys!"
"Have a good night!" Tadashi waved as Mrs. Forrester, Bolt, and Penny leave the cafe.
After the guests left, Tadashi looked at Hiro, who was still staring at the ground. "You alright, Knucklehead?"
"What?!" Hiro jumped. "Oh, uh, y-yeah. I'm fine."
"Hmm." Tadashi said while looking Hiro in the face.
"W-what?"
"Looks to me that you think Penny is more than just a pretty girl." Tadashi smirked.
"W-What?! No!" Hiro denied. "I-I think she's a good friend, that's all!"
"Really." Tadashi looked unconvinced. "Even though you didn't even know her until, like, two hours ago."
"Gah! Come on, bro!" Hiro cried exasperatedly. "Gimme a break!"
"Boys?" Aunt Cass called from the kitchen. "Time to get ready for bed!"
"Okay, Aunt Cass." Hiro and Tadashi replied at the same time.
After washing up and climbing into bed, Tadashi opened up his robotics book and began reading a few chapters while Hiro looked at the paper Penny have given to him.
In her hotel room, Penny had just finished getting ready for bed and was looking at the paper Hiro had written for her. After staring at it for a solid 15 minutes, she finally placed it on her nightstand and got under the covers. Her mother had already fallen asleep on her own bed while softly snoring, and Bolt was sleeping on his cushion on the floor nearby.
"Good night, Bolt." Penny said while turning off the lights and closing her eyes. Just before she fell asleep, a single name floated around in her mind. Hiro.
