Here is chapter 3!

BoltandMaybelle247

"Where are we going again, Bolt?" Maybelle asked.

"We are going with Penny to help Tom's uncle on the farm in Iowa, for about... two weeks I think." Bolt answered.

"Oh yeah. It still seems only yesterday when Penny and Tom confessed their feelings for each other..." Maybelle trailed off.

(FLASHBACK 3rd POV)

It was at their school's high school dance.
At the time, Penny was going to the dance with a city kid, named Ethan. Tom wasn't going with anybody, because Penny was taken already, but he still went to the dance. Penny was going with Ethan because Tom had not asked her. She thought that Tom liked her, which he does, but she doesn't know that for sure. Penny has always had a bit of a school girl crush on Tom. She has a soft spot for country boys.

Tom an Penny have been friends ever since Penny first came to school in the 6th grade. Penny never had time to get into special relationships when she was in the show business.

Back to the dance...

Penny and Ethan were supposed to meet up at the dance, outside of the school gym.
But Ethan didn't show up. She got tired of waiting, so she went inside the gym and sat alone at a table.

Then Tom walked in through the double doors with his cowboy hat and cowboy boots on. He was dressed nicely in between. He walked over to the sign in book and signed in. Girls came up to him and asked him to dance, but he rejected them.

He looked to his right, and there... Across the gym, was Penny, a backwoods beauty queen, all alone. She looked to beautiful to him.

This was his chance. Tom walked across the gym and went up to Penny. She noticed him and looked at him.

"Where's Ethan?" Tom asked.

Penny sighed, "I don't know." she said.

"Well, it's his loss for leaving you here." Tom said

"He didn't show up." Penny commented.

Penny actually didn't look bummed out that Ethan didn't come. She looked... Fine. But when she noticed Tom come up to her, she lit up like a Christmas tree.

Without thinking, Tom held out his hand, asking to dance.
"Come on. A pretty girl shouldn't be sitting here all alone." Tom said.

Penny smirked at his compliment and took his hand. They walked to the middle of the gym floor just as the song Just A Kiss by Lady Antebellum started to play.
Penny put her arms around Tom's neck and he put his hands on her waist... And they danced to the song with both their eyes sparkling as they looked at each other.

Involuntarily, they both moved closer together, and their lips met. Neither of them said a word after the kiss. Penny just put her chin on Tom's shoulder and closed her eyes, then they danced until the song was over.

After that, they sat down at a table.
They both looked at each other and said, "I love you." at the same time. They both knew it was true.

They spent the rest of the night talking about how long they both have waited for this night to come.

(END OF FLASHBACK)

"Ya. And she wouldn't stop talking about it for a week!" Bolt joked.

"I know. But remember when WE first met?" Maybelle asked.

"How could I ever forget." Bolt said softly.

Maybelle rubbed her pelt against Bolt's affectionately.

"Come on you guys! Penny is ready to go!" Mittens interrupted.

This spooked the two.

"Oh! Right! We're coming!" Maybelle barked.

They both ran out the house and got in Penny's car and headed to the airport. The animals were put into separate cages and put on the plane, as Penny walked up the steps to get on the plane. After a while the plane started moving.

"Goodbye California. Here we come Iowa!" Bolt said excitedly.

"You sure are in a hood mood." Maybelle noticed.

Mittens and Rhino both nodded.

"A couple of friends that I made back at the pet sitter's are gonna be there!" Bolt said, tail wagging happily.

Maybelle tilted her head.

"Roscoe and Sam?" Maybelle asked.

"Yup!" Bolt answered.

After that, the plane was in the air, heading to Iowa.
