Part 4
I think there is going to be one more part to this story.
Penny's house:
Penny had thought about telling her mom that she had heard Bolt say that he was coming home. Whether it be a dream or not, but she was sure that it was her dog communicating with her. 'I can't wait. Maybe they did find Bolt, and then again maybe it looks like him.' She thought to herself.
Several loud thumps came from her room door. "Yes?" she answered.
"It's your mom. Can I come in?" her mom asked.
"Yea I guess." Penny replied.
Her mom came in and stared in shock. "Didn't you get the call from Ms. Mandy?" Her mom asked.
"Yea I did, but just in case it isn't him I want to get flyers made up so people can help find him." Penny answered. Penny's mom walked over and put her hand on her daughters shoulder.
"Don't worry dear. I believe that they found the real Bolt." She began to say.
"But what if it's not?" Penny asked as tears started to fill her eyes.
"You can still do the flyers." Her mom said.
"My printer is out of ink though." Penny said.
"That's okay you can use the one at the studio office. We will leave in a little, and don't forget you have practice for the next show tomorrow." Penny's mom replied.
"Thanks mom." She said.
"Anything for you." Her mom said as she walked back out the door and down the stairs.
Back to Bolt, Mittens, and Rhino:
'Nearly there.' Bolt thought. They have been off of the interstate for about an hour and Bolt was beginning to get bored. "I can't wait there is nothing to do." Bolt said loudly.
"That's okay I have a present for you." Mittens said pulling something from behind her back. It was a stick.
"Where did you get that?" Bolt asked.
"Does it matter?" Mittens asked.
"No I guess not, but we can't play fetch on this truck we would lose the stick." Bolt said.
"That would be funny to watch." Rhino snickered.
Both Mittens and Bolt glared at him.
"What?" Rhino asked.
"Keep things like that in your own head." Mittens said. She turned to look at Bolt. "We are going to teach you how to hide things that you want, and things that are yours." She said.
"Alright." Bolt said.
"And since we are in a dump truck and it is filled with dirt we can do it while we wait to get off at our next stop which shouldn't be for a while." Mittens added.
"What do I do?" Bolt asked.
Mittens rolled her eyes. "You never buried something in your life have you?" she questioned.
"No." Bolt answered.
"Sheesh you definitely were locked up as a pup." Mittens snickered. "You are probably the first dog that I have met that did not know how to hide things from people or other animals."
"Is that a problem?" Bolt asked.
"I guess not but it's an important thing to learn." Mittens answered.
"Well then let's get right to it." Bolt replied.
Mittens explained to Bolt how to dig a whole and put what ever you want in it. Several times he tried but failed. Finally he got the hang of digging a whole the size of the item and then putting the item in the whole. In which this case was the stick that Mittens magically found. "Finally." Rhino sighed.
"You think you could do any better?" Bolt asked.
"Yea." Rhino answered. "Of course I can I am Be-awesome." He added.
"Let's see you do it." Mittens challenged.
"I don't think I can right now." Rhino stated. "My paws are hurting."
"That's what I thought." Mittens said.
"But I'll tell you what. When we get to the studio I will race Bolt and we will see who can burry the stick faster." Rhino quickly said.
"I would like to see it." Mittens said.
"Bolt!" Mittens yelled over the howling wind, but there was no answer. She turned to look at him and noticed that he was watching someone play fetch with their dog on the hill not far from the interstate. 'I have an idea.' Mittens thought. She picked up the stick and put it near his muzzle. Bolt breathed in and caught the scent of the stick, and turned to Mittens. "Bolt burry this thing one more time." Mittens said.
Bolt headed to the back of the truck and started to dig another hole, and Mittens watched as all the dirt fell off the truck and landed on a white moving van. "Bolt look what you're doing." Mittens laughed as Bolt turned to see what was going on. A small grin started to creep its way onto his muzzle.
"Oops." He said as he examined the van. "Well looks like they are going to need another wash for their vehicle." Bolt joked.
"We should be nearing the next stop!" Rhino exclaimed.
Bolt, Mittens, and Rhino readied themselves for the jump…
