Disclaimer: I don't own Bolt. Disney still does.


Bolt's P.O.V.

"Bolt, Mittens, get up!" My person shouted. She sounded exited. I sighed and opened my eyes stretching a bit, noticing that Mitten was still beside me. I looked up towards Penny and instantly realizing what got her so revved up, Penny's dad was here! Super excited I turned my head and quickly licked Mittens' cheek wanting to get her up. Penny's dad was the best!

Mittens swatted my tongue away, still half asleep but I didn't give in that easily! I continued licking her other cheek until the cat finally moved and rolled over. "Ew, that's gross Bolt.. Not exactly the best way to wake a girl up y'know?" Mittens opened her eyes a bit, and saw the man in front of us. He was looking at us like he was going over a question in his head, but I didn't care.

"I-its penny's dad!" Mittens said stuttering a bit. "I didn't know he was goona be here, why didn't you tell me Bolt?" Mittens struggled to get up and I let her stand out of my embrace happily just shrugging my shoulders to let her know I didn't know he was going to be here either. Mittens had only met Penny's dad once, but in that one day she loved him instantly. I mean, how could you not love him? He was fun, energetic, and always happy! Whenever he came over we'd play games pretty much the whole time!

I got up and jumped off the bed so that I could walk to the man's side. He laughed and bent down, patting my head and asking me "Long time no see Bolt, how are you doing little guy?" I barked in response and wagged my tail, knwing that he wouldn't understand even if I did try to actually say something. Penny giggled from behind her father; she was holding Rhino happily and the little hamster was staring at Penny's dad with an odd look. He knows something… What's he thinking?

The man lent down again and scratched under Mittens' chin, she had apparently jumped down off the bed to join me. He smiled once again, and said "Well, sadly I have to go." He then turned to Penny and continued. "You're mom wants me to spend the day with her, but I needed to see you guys before I left." He gave Penny a hug and was off, leaving through the bedroom door.

Penny waited until he was down the hall a bit before turning her head down to look at Rhino in her arms. "You'll… tell them, right Rhino?" She asked obviously really nervous. Wait, does she know we can understand her? How does she know?

Rhino nodded and Penny put him down on the bed, then turned to Mittens and I. She smiled, once again obviously nervous before she leaned down and gave us all a quick hug. Standing up straight she then said "I love you guys, you know that. You'll always be close to my heart." After a second of just looking at us, she quickly nodded to Rhino and then turned and left the room.

Mittens and I both instantly turned to the hamster asking in perfect unison "Tell us what Rhino?" He looked a bit nervous, looking down at the pads of his small paws. I continued, asking him "Does Penny know that we can understand her now? How did you do it?" I continued to stare at the hamster but he looked a little scared so I backed off a bit. Did he think I was upset with him?

Mittens stepped forward as I backed away and leaned down to the hamster's level. "Just tell us what's happened Rhino, I promise we're not upset with you. We're just confused" She said in a happy tone, not wanting to scare him more than he already was.

Rhino sighed, and looked up at us. "No, Penny doesn't think that you guys can understand her. She only thinks that I can understand her. I should've been more careful, I was so stupid.. but she was being so nice and I just wanted to talk to someone cuz you two were together outside.." He said, looking really sad suddenly.

I moved closer and tried to sound comforting, actually feeling pretty bad. "Hey, I'm sorry Rhino I didn't know that you felt excluded. You know that you can always hang out with Mittens and I don't you? I mean, I probably owe you my life and my happiness partly to you,. If I hadn't found you when I was searching for Penny I never would have had the motivation to finish." At this the little guy smiled a little and I smiled back. "Rhino, you know we care about you. And you know what? It's okay that Penny knows, as long as she doesn't tell anyone else." Rhino perked up a bit. "Try and find some way to tell her that alright? Now what was she talking about buddy? Tell us what?"

Rhino went back to looking nervous, but began speaking anyways. "Okay, so you guys know that Penny's dad is a scientist, right?" Mittens and I nodded quickly wanting him to continue. "Well, he kind of invented a machine. And the machine, well it does something pretty crazy…"

Mittens was getting impatient and interrupted him asking "Yeah yeah, a fancy machine. C'mon Rhino, what's it do?"

Rhino took a long sigh, and finally finished his sentence. "Well it, it kind of maybe can turn animals into humans." The hamster spurted out. Then looked down at the blanket on the bed.

Mittens and I froze up. A machine that can turn animals into humans? Impossible, that's just crazy! But.. "Go on," Mittens said trying to hide her excitement but couldn't. Apparently she thought it sounded like a pretty cool idea. Well at least I should listen to what the machine does, and how it works.

Rhino continued, getting to the main point. "She… Penny wanted me to ask you two if you wanted to… Try out the machine? If you want to be human?" Rhino looked up at Mittens and I as he finished.

I took a minute, thinking to myself before I looked at Rhino and asked him softly "What do you think about it?" Mittens beside me looked like she couldn't even talk frozen like a statue. I barely ever saw her scared like that.

Rhino sighed, and then confidently said. "I want to. I'd love to be a human Bolt, I'd be able to eat chocolate and candy, and all that other stuff humans can eat but we aren't supposed to! I mean I do anyways.. but it wouldn't hurt my tummy! And, I could go outside whenever I want to, and- and.. Well I just think that it would be cool… being a hamster isn't all that cool, I can't even do most of the stuff that you guys can." I frowned a bit as my friend finished, but I understood what he meant. I nodded slowly, then looked over to the door.

"Hey, guys?" I asked and waited a minute. "I'm goona go think about it, alright? I think that I'm goona go outside to the lawn." My friends nodded, and as I jumped off the bed I thought I heard Mittens ask me to wait but I couldn't. I needed to be alone for a while. I ran down the hall, and as I passed the living room Penny called out to me.

"Hey, Bolt! Where are ya going?" But I ignored her for maybe the first time in my life and kept running. I didn't know what to think, I didn't know what to, my mind was going crazy and I didn't stop until I was through the pet door and outside on the lawn. I plopped down by a bush, leaning against the leaves and looked up into the sky. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and I couldn't help smiling a bit as the wind flew through my hair.

Now.. What to do about Penny's proposal. Humans, it would be so different. Everything would be changed upside down; I don't think it's normal for humans to play fetch or to run around the yard like I always do. They do different things; they go to school and hang out with friends- would I have to go to school? What would I look like? I like how I look now, I like my thunderbolt and my fur.. Would I be fur-less like Penny?

I frowned, thinking of all the negatives that would come. But it wasn't really my choice to become human or not, I'd known that from the beginning. Rhino wants to become a human, and he was my best friend. There was no way that I could leave him. But even more so than Rhino, the decision really rested on Mittens' shoulders. If the cat were to become a human I couldn't not follow her and do the same. I really cared about Mittens, she had made me so happy and I couldn't bear not being with her now that I'd heard how she feels about me.

And if my staying as a dog would keep Mittens from getting what she wants I wouldn't be able to live with myself. Because she would probably stay as an animal if I wanted to. But maybe being a human wouldn't actually be so bad. I mean Penny always wears different things, maybe which would be fun choosing what I want to wear. And the do get to eat different kinds of food other than the same thing all the time. And I'd be able to talk to Penny! And Mittens and I would be the same species.. I'll ask what she wants. And I'll do whatever my cat would like.

"Hey Bolt" I heard from my side and whipped my head over to see my person walking over to me and plopping down in the grass. She patted her lap, and I happily padded over to sit in it. "I don't know if you can understand me or not, I really hope you can! That would be really cool." She started to pet my head and back, probably trying to comfort me. "Hey, I really hope you aren't upset. And I want you to know that no matter what I'll still love you! Whether you want to be a human or stay a dog you'll always be in my heart."

I smiled as my person talked to me, and looked up at her to lick her cheek hopefully letting her know that I know she loves me. And that I love her too. She laughed a bit, and swatted my tongue away like Mittens did. "Eww, that's gross Bolt. Y'know, you're still my super-dog." She smiled down at me, but then said "Anyways I gotta go help mom cook, but I just wanted you to know that no matter what I'm with you and I'll support your decision." Penny smiled one last time before picking me up off her lap and putting me on the ground, and then she got up and ran inside.

"Well, it's all up to Mittens I guess" I said to myself and after a minute of relaxing in the sun made my way inside to find the cat. I padded through the hallway peeking into the living room, but she wasn't there. I turned to peek in the kitchen but she wasn't there either, so I continued down the hallway to the bedroom. I pushed the door open with my nose and wandered in but Couldn't find the cat, and even after jumping up on the bed I couldn't see her. Where could she be…

But then I heard something, like something rubbing against something else and jumped off the bed on the other side to find her, rubbing her paws against the side of the bed. "Uhm.. Mits?" I asked making her jump back with wide eyes. Once she saw it was me though she relaxed a bit. "What were you just doing?"

She looked down sadly at her paws, and replied "It's a habit that I got into a long time ago. I think most cats do it. Whenever I'm scared or worried or nervous I scratch against something, it used to feel so good. But now that I'm declawed.. Well I still do it, but it doesn't feel the same. Stupid Jessica.. I really thought I loved her before she-"Mittens stopped and looked up at me. "Oh, sorry I was kind of ranting I guess."

I shook my head to dismiss it, and padded over to her smiling a bit. "Mittens, you know that I don't care that you're de-clawed right? I think you're perfect anyways." She smiled softly, and looked down a little as I continued. "I'll always think that you're perfect Mittens. Always." Again the black cat smiled, and moved closer to give me a hug. I gladly hugged her back, loving how soft she is.

"Bolt, you're the best. Did you know that? You really are" she said nuzzling a little closer into my neck and I just rubbed her back. And then came the big question. "So, what do you think Bolt? About Penny's dad's machine I mean.."

I waited a second before replying, thinking about how to word what I wanted to tell her. "Mittens," I began slowly. "I want you to be happy. You are my number one priority right now, and I care about you with all my heart. Whatever you want to do, I will be happy with. I would happily become a human with you, and we'd be the same species if that's what you want. Or I could stay a dog and you a cat. Whatever you want, I'm with you."

As I finished I noticed that Mittens' eyes were watering up a bit and I held her close, just hoping that they were tears of happiness. After a few second I heard her voice from where her head was buried in my neck. "Thank you Bolt…" I felt mittens' arms wrap around me and squeeze and she continued. "Bolt.. I.. I think that I want to be a human." I smiled softly, and began rubbing her back.

We sat for a few minutes in silence before I pulled away a little so that I could look at Mittens' face. "Hey, Mits?" I asked and she looked up. Before she could do anything else I leant in and licked her cheek again. "Like I said you are my number one. We'll be humans soon." With this the black and white cat pounced at me knocking me to the ground.

"Oh Bolt! You're the best!" She yelled, but there were still tears. Happy tears, and I couldn't help but smile. "I love you Bolt, my big white dog." Mittens said happily and nuzzled into my neck.

"I love yo-" I was interrupted, by Rhino clearing his throat from up on the bed. Mittens and I instantly separated, Staring up at Rhino with wide shocked eyes. "Uhm, Rhino, this is.. uhm.. well-"

Rhino cut me off once again, but this time by laughing. Mittens and I looked at him in confusion as he said "Don't worry about it you two, I was just teasing. I already knew you two were all mushy and cutesy." The two of us continued to stare at the hamster at wide eyes, and he kept laughing.

"H-how did you know Rhino?" Mittens asked seemingly a little bit scared.

"It's reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally obvious!" Said the hamster still laughing. "I mean, REALLY obvious." Rhino grinned. I just sighed and brought Mittens closer to me again, she was pretty tense and I moved to rub her back softly..

Rhino smiled and turned around, saying to us "I'll go tell Penny that it's a yes all around. See you guys later." Then walked away.

Mittens brought her face up closer to mine; she was looking up at me with huge wide eyes as she asked "Bolt?" in a small, cute, irresistible voice. I pulled her as close to me as I could. She didn't resist at all, and I couldn't help but grin. Mittens could be so cute!

"Yes Mittens?" I asked smiling down at her. She moved even closer, her face just millimeters away from my own.

Leaning in even a tiny bit closer and in a really soft voice the cat asked "When we're humans… You'll still love me, right?"

I was a little stunned; thinking that she was just joking with me but as I looked into the Cats big eyes I knew that she wasn't at all. She was as serious as she'd ever been.. "Mittens, of course I'll still love you. I'll never let you out of my sight, I promise." Feeling some weird temptation, I leaned in a little closer and licked the cat's lips. She just smiled, and moved closer nuzzling into my warm neck. I wonder what that would feel like.. As humans…

Humans…
