Disclaimer: I do not own BOLT or any of its characters. All I own is the story line.
A/N: A WHILE BACK, I RECEIVED A REVIEW THAT SUGGESTED I WRITE A RATED M FIC ABOUT MITTENS AND BOLT'S 'TIME TOGETHER' AT THE BEGINNING OF CHAPTER 6 OF "A MIXED LOVE". I HOWEVER DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO WRITE IT AS I ALREADY HAVE A PLAN FOR ANOTHER STORY AFTER THIS. IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO WRITE IT, SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE AND LET ME KNOW. HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU.
CHAPTER SEVEN: TAKE TWO
"Are you sure that will work?" Boots asked, looking at Thunder. "I'm sure of it" Thunder said, "But we'll need 2 things." "What?" Boots asked. "Well, the first is to wait until tonight." Thunder said. "Why?" Boots asked. "So those 2 idiots don't come in while we're escaping or constructing it." Thunder explained, "Anyway, the second thing is help from Moon and Mia." "But they're too upset about being separated from the others." Boots pointed out. "Well, then we'll need to help them calm down, or this will never work." Thunder said. "Then we'd better get started." Boots said, heading over to the 2 girls to begin an attempt of calming them down.
"Are you sure that vent leads to the room?" Sun asked, looking up at an air vent that Blaze pointed out. "It should" Blaze said, "It's the only air vent on the outside of the building." "Well, let's get to work" Lightning said, walking around the corner of the building. "Where are you going?" Sun asked. "I saw some barrels over there that we can use." Lightning said, continuing on his way.
Bolt stretched as he woke up from his nap. Mittens is so cute Bolt thought to himself as he walked over to where Crystal was sitting. "Hey Bolty" Crystal said as she noticed Bolt walking over to her. "Enough with the 'Bolty'" Bolt said, sitting across from her. "Alright then," Crystal said, "How about 'Honey'?" "Forget it," Bolt said, "That's Mitt's name for me. But that's not why I'm here." "What is it then?" Crystal asked. "Rhino has a theory about Mittens' accident, and I think he's onto something" Bolt said. "What's his theory?" Crystal asked. "He thinks that YOU had something to do with it." Bolt explained, "And I think he might be right." "What makes him say that?" Crystal asked innocently. "Well, he said he asked you if you arrived to the stream the same time we did, and you said that you was there when she fell in and you DIDN'T come get us." Bolt said. "And as I told him," Crystal said, "I was scared and I didn't know what to do" Crystal said. "Well, alright" Bolt said with his usual habit of trusting people. "Good." Crystal said, getting closer to Bolt, "So what's our next move Bolty?" "And what's with all this 'Bolty' anyway?" Bolt asked, noticing how close Crystal had gotten and backed away from her. "Oh, it's just, we're friends and I thought, you know," Crystal said, inching closer to Bolt again. "No, I don't" Bolt said, backing away even more. "There's always been a connection between us, so I just thought" Crystal said, getting even closer to Bolt. "That was on a TV show. It was FAKE" Bolt said, standing up, "I'm in love with Mittens. Whatever happened on the show, it wasn't real. There was never anything between us!" "But you didn't know it was fake back then" Crystal said, standing up herself now, "so whatever feelings you had then, were REAL." "I had no feelings for you back then." Bolt said, now standing face to face with Crystal, "And if you have any now, forget about it. I'm in love with Mittens, not you, so if you're only hanging around because you think I have feeling for you, you're wrong, so you better leave now." "That's not why I'm here" Crystal lied quickly. "Then why are you still here" Bolt asked, "This isn't your family." "Well, it's not Rhino's either" Crystal said. "I'm their godfather" Rhino said, walking up to the 2 arguing dogs. "Exactly" Bolt said, "He's as much a member of my family as I am." "Thanks Bolt" Rhino said. "It's true Rhino" Bolt said, turning his attention back to Crystal, "Now are you going to tell me why you are still here?" "It's because I want to help" Crystal lied. "Fine" Bolt said, satisfied with her answer, "Just stay away from Mittens, or I will not hesitate to rip you apart. And god help me, if you even TOUCH her, I will do to you what I used to do when I interrogated people on the show, with one change." "And what would that be?" Crystal asked feeling a little scared now. "I WILL go all the way and let you fall." Bolt said, practically snarling at her. "Got it" Crystal said, her whole body shaking in fear. "Good" Bolt said, as he and Rhino turned to leave. "God Bolt," Rhino said, "Would you really do that?" "No" Bolt admitted, "I just needed to make sure she doesn't try anything."
"So," Penny said, taking a bite into her Wendy's chicken sandwich, "Do you think we'll get to the hotel by 8 o'clock tonight?" "Maybe sooner" Officer Douglas said, looking at his watch, "We're about an hour ahead of schedule now, and if traffic is this good the rest of the way, we could get there by 5." "Great" Penny's mom said, Ready to go Penny?" "Yeah," Penny said, taking the last bite of her sandwich, "Just let me throw this stuff out." "Alright" Penny's mom said, "We'll be in the cars." As Penny threw out the garbage, Penny's mom and Officer Douglas headed out to the cars and started them up. Penny came running out and jumped in the car. "Let's go" Penny said as they pulled out of the parking lot and continued on their way."
As Bolt and Rhino were walking, they noticed a black object moving very slowly in the distance. "Mittens!" Bolt called out as he ran over to her. "It's aright Bolt," Mittens said, still walking slowly. "But Mitt's" Bolt started before Mittens interrupted. "Bolt, listen to me" Mittens said, "We need to find our kids. I can rest during the night. And I want to do it this way." "Mitt's" Bolt said, but Mittens interrupted again. "Bolt" Mittens said, "I know you want me to rest, but I want to do this." "Alright" Bolt said, knowing he was defeated. "Now may I ask what you were doing over there with Crystal?" Mittens asked. "Rhino thought that she caused your accident" Bolt explained. "Why would he think that?" Mittens asked. "Well, he asked her if she arrived to the stream the same time we did after you fell in, and she said that she was there when you fell in and that she didn't come get us." Bolt explained. "Oh" Mittens said, "And what did she say to that?" "She said she was too scared to think of what to do" Bolt said. "Alright" Mittens said before asking another question with suspicion in her voice, "And also, why was your face against hers?" "Mitt's, it's not like that?" Bolt said, realizing what she thought, "I was telling her to stay away from you." Bolt said. "Why would you need to tell her that?" Mittens asked. "I don't think I should tell you that just yet" Bolt said, "But just do me a favor and don't get to close to her or be alone with her." "But why?" Mittens asked. "Mitt's," Bolt said, "Just trust me." "I do Bolt" Mittens said, now getting a seductive smile on her face, "In fact, let me prove to you how trusting I can be." And with that, the 2 lovers went into a secluded spot in the forest for a little 'trust demonstration'.
"Hey, Rhino" Crystal called. "What is it dog?" Rhino asked, turning around. "2 things" Crystal said, "The first, my name is Crystal, not 'dog'." "I know" Rhino said flatly. "Alright then," Crystal said, "the second thing, do you know where Bolt is? I need to talk to him." "Sorry, but he is busy in the forest right now" Rhino said, turning back around and walking to where the map was still placed. "Well, what's he doing in the forest?" Crystal asked. Rhino stopped where he stood to answer Crystal's question. "One would hope, Mittens" Rhino said, continuing over to the map, leaving Crystal with a dumbstruck look on her face.
"Listen you guys" Boots said to his sisters, if we want to get out of here, you need to calm down and help us." "Alright" Mia said, sniffling and holding back tears. "What do we need to do?" Moon asked. Thunder pointed over to the empty food and water dishes, "We need to stack the water and food dishes in a stair form, climb up to and into the vent. "Do you think that will work?" Mia asked. "It's our only chance" Thunder said, "It has to work." "Alright" Moon said, heading over to the dishes. "Not now" Boots said. "But…" Moon started. "We need to wait for the idiots out there to go to bed. Otherwise they might try to stop us" Thunder explained. "Alright" Moon said, "Wake me up when we can start." "Me too" Mia joined in. And with that, the 2 girls went to sleep while the 2 boys sat up and thought about their plan.
"Last one" Lightning said, moving the last barrel into position. "Looks good" Blaze said, looking at their stack of barrels that led up to the air vent. "Let's go break them out" Lightning said, heading to the barrel stack. "Uh, guys" Sun said, realizing a flaw in their plan. "What is it Sun?" Blaze asked. "When we get to the room, how do we reach them to get them out of there?" "Right" Lightning said. "We didn't think of that" Blaze said. And with that, the 3 kippens sat down and began planning a part 2 to their plan.
About 3 hours later, Bolt and Mittens emerged from their secluded spot. "That was fun" Mittens said. "You can say that again" Bolt said. "BOLT" they heard someone call from their left. Crystal Bolt thought. "Mitt's," Bolt said, "Could you go to Rhino, Crystal is coming." "Sure Bolt" Mittens said, giving Bolt a kiss before going to the hamster. "Bolt, I found you" Crystal said, running up to him. "What do you want?" Bolt asked coldly. "I just wanted you to know that I decided to move on" Crystal lied, "I can accept the fact that you love someone else." "Well," Bolt said, "I think I can forgive you." "Oh thank you Bolty…I mean Bolt" Crystal said, "I think I'll go look for some more food, seeing how I didn't find any before" Crystal said. "Good idea" Bolt said. As Crystal left to go find food, Bolt went to go find Mittens. ""Hey Bolt" Mittens said, running up to him and giving him a kiss. When they broke apart, Mittens looked into Bolt's eyes. "Thank you" Mittens said. "For what?" Bolt asked? "Rhino told me what went down between you and Crystal" Mittens said. Bolt gave Rhino a glare that the little hamster could have sworn could see through him. "I didn't think you didn't want her to know" Rhino said. "I'm going to go for a walk while you 2 talk" Mittens said. "Alright," Bolt said, "Just be careful." "OK Bolt" Mittens said, giving him a quick kiss before walking into the forest, leaving Bolt dazed. "Are you mad Bolt?" Rhino asked. Bolt didn't respond, still dazed. "Earth to Bolt" Rhino said, jumping in front of Bolt's face, waving his paws in front of his eyes. "Wha…Oh, sorry Rhino" Bolt said, "What were you saying?" "I asked if you were mad at me" Rhino said. "No Rhino" Bolt said, "I'm not mad at you. In fact, I should be thanking you." "Why?" Rhino asked. "I couldn't think of how to tell her about it" Bolt said, "And you did it for me."
After Crystal disappeared in the forest to go look for food, she started coming up with a new plan to get rid of Mittens. As she was walking around, she saw an arrowhead lying on the ground. Stabbing, Crystal thought, perfect. I can blame it on a hunter or something. Picking up the arrowhead, she started to think of a way to do it. I need to be careful. If I mess up, she'll go tell Bolt and I'll NEVER win his love. And with that, she sat down, arrowhead in paw, and started scheming.
SO THAT WAS CHAPTER 7. PLEASE REVIEW. CHAPTER 8 WILL BE UP NEXT SATURDAY/SUNDAY.
