*What Am I Feeling?*
-They're Here
[Bolt's POV]
"No fair Bolt. Using the trick I taught you against me," Mittens sulked as I used the 'dog face' to get her to play fetch with me while Penny was at school.
"What face?" I asked with fake innocence tilting my head over to the side a bit more.
"Fine," she sighed, "I'll play fetch with you, just try not to get the stick too slobbery like last time."
She picked up a stick and turned back towards me. "You ready Wags?"
"You bet!" my tail wagged a mile-a-minute and Mittens laughed at that.
"Okay calm down Wags." With that she threw the stick and I took off in the direction she tossed it to. Sniffing around the ground I found the stick by a tree near the barn. I picked it up and ran back to Mittens. We played for a little over an hour, the longest she's ever played me at one time.
I had to admitt that I loved hanging out with Mittens like this. It was relaxing. Sure Rhino's fun and all, but he still thinks that I'm a super dog. I can still remember when we tried to explain that I wasn't to him, but he ended up trying to hit us with a bat, yelling that we must be spies or clones or andriods ect. I've still gotta bruise from that day. Yeesh for a little guy he's pretty strong. Anway, back on topic, Mittens my best friend, aside from Penny.
"So Wags now what do you want to do now?" Mittens asked before sneezing.
"You okay Mittens?" I asked geniually concerned.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I was just a sneeze."
"If you say so Mittens. So what do want to do?" My mind started to drift back to yesterday morning. I never noticed but cat's fur is really soft.
"Bolt! I just asked you that!" Mittens yelled at me.
"Huh! Oh, right, sorry. I was just thinking about something..." I said still slightly dazed.
"Well then, what were you thinking about Wags." She cocked her head to the side, looking up at me curiously.
Crap! She doesn't know about that yet. Thank goodness Penny hasn't shown her the picture yet, but I don't wanna tell her yet. "Oh, I just wanted to know...if...uh...you think we should tell Rhino about the cats visiting."
Mittens didn't look like she bought it, but didn't press any further, "I don't know. Think we can explain it to him, without him attacking us with a bat?"
I snickered at the memory "Yeah, maybe we shouldn't tell him yet."
"Besides his reaction might be funny." Mittens laughed. That's when I remembered something.
"Mittens, wait here. I got a surprize for ya. Close your eyes." Once I made sure her eyes were closed I ran back into the house as fast I could. Once there I ran up to Penny's room and slide under her bed.
Where is it? Where is it? Shoe, box, remote...so thats where that went, glove, paper, Mr. Carrot. Where is it? Where is it? Wher- There it is! A big ball of green yarn. It took me two weeks of searching to find that thing. It was even bigger then the indigo one I got her during our adventure.
I remembered that Mittens was waiting for me, so I picked the ball up with my teeth and ran back outside, ignoring Rhino's random rants about the 'magic box.' Mittens was still waiting for me, eyes closed. I smirked, then padded up to her, as quietly as I could.
"Bolt I know you're there." Obviously, not quiet enough to sneak up on Mittens yet. I haven't been able to sneak up on her successfully since the day we met, when I pinned her to the trash can and then later when I pinned her to the ground after she threatened me with styrofoam.
I chuckled at the memory and set the ball in front of her, "Okay Mittens you can look."
Slowly she opens her greens eyes and looks up at me expectantly. I nod my head toward the yarnball. When she looked down, I saw her eyes light-up. Before she could say anything I swatted the ball to the left. A smile spread across my face when she went after it. I chuckled as pounced on the yarn and started to swatt at it.
What I hadn't noticed was that the yarn had started to unwind. Next thing I know, Mittens is tangled in mess of green yarn.
I bursted out laughing, which caused Mittens to glare at me.
"Hahaha! Now then, if we're done laughing at the degenerate creature of darkness do you think you could help a girl out." Mittens' voice was drenched in sarcasm as she blow as stray yarn thread out of her face.
I padded over to her, still chuckling, "Sure thing cat."
Steping on a string, I took another in my mouth and lifted it up, loosening the yarn around her body and creating a hole for her escape from.
Unfortnately that hole happened to lead underneath me. She slipped of the hole, between my front legs- brushing her back against my stomach, and out between my left front leg and left hind leg.
Dropping the yarn, I inhaled a sharp, painful breath. I felt my face flush and my heart-beat race. What's wrong with me? I'm completely discombobulated S-she's a cat, I'm a dog! Why am I feeling thi-
"Thanks dog." Mittens' voice dragged me out of my mental rant. I've been having those alot lately.
Penny's mom's car pulls up in the driveway. Its too early for Penny to come home, 'sides she rides the bus. Penny's mom usually doesn't come back from work until about the same time Penny does.
She walks towards us with two cat carriers in her hands. Great they're here.
"Bolt, Mittens lunch!" We followed and I tried to keep my distance from Mittens, stealing glances everynow and then, immediatly looking down when she looked at me.
What's wrong with me? She's leaving me totally discombobulated. Its insane.
Without realising it we've walked into the house, Penny's mom set the carriers down in the living room and unlatched them, "Here you guys. Play nice while I make lunch." she left the room for the kitchen, leaving me, Mittens, and a preoccupied Rhino alone with our guests.
Suddenly an evil laugh errupted from the left carrier. Slowly a familiar black cat with gold eyes crawled out of the left carrier, while a plumper beige and black cat with dark blue-black eyes crawled out of the right carrier.
The black cat started talking, "Well Bolt, it seems fate has made our paths cross again. Your precious Penny was a fool to let us in her home. The Green-Eyed Man has got a knew plan and its even more diabolical than the last. This one will blow your mind-"
The larger cat interupted him in a voice that kinda reminded me of Rhino only not as...Rhino, "Yeah! And then his plan will blow her mind...uh...literally."
I faintly caught the black cat say, "Nice," before continueing his speach, "So, Bolt any last words."
I looked at Mittens, who had jumped on top of the black cat's carrier, and smiled. "Just the following: I know that it was all a T.V. show, so cut the act already!"
They looked at me shocked, "Wait, seriously, you know," I nodded, "Okay then...this awkward."
"Yeah, it is...um...," Crap I never learned their names, did I? Well they never mentioned them.
"Vincent," the black cat replies, and then he gestures to the other cat, "and this is Eli."
"Hi!"
"Hey, well you already know my name, so you only need to meet-" I was interupted by Rhino.
"Agents of the Green-Eyed Man have infiltrated Penny's house! Attack! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!" Rhino rolled over to us in his ball and started to attack Vincent, much like how he attacked Mittens when we first met him.
"Whoa! Whoa! Easy Rhino! They are...our...prisoners, yeah that's it. And we're holding them here for three months until the Feds take them off ours hands." I say gripping his ball so he doesn't attack anyone again.
He's now panting heavily, "Fine, but if they get out of line you know where to find me." He starts to head back to the couch but is interupted, by our guests.
"Wait, you're Rhino the hamster, " Vincent says dryly.
"Well my ancestry isn't all hamster. I'm one-sixteenth wolf with a little wolverine mixed in there somewhere. Again, Bolt you know where to find me." Rhino rolled over to his spot on the couch, leaving Vincent and Eli with a questioning look in there eyes.
"I'll explain Rhino later, so you all just need to meet Mittens," I said look up at her and smirking. Swiftly she jumped down and landed all fours, startleing our guests.
"Mittens would be me. So you're Vincent and Eli, right."
"Correct miss. I didn't expect there to be such a lovely animal to be here. Maybe the next few months won't be so bad." Vincent said, walking closer to Mittens, eyes half-closed. Something about the way he looked at her made me feel protective of her.
"Yeah, you have pretty eyes." Eli agreed looking abit hyper.
"Thanks, but don't think you are going to get away with what you did to Bolt," Mittens said sizing up to them.
"What did we d-"
"Oh I don't know lie to Bolt, make his paranioa worse. Feed his beleif that he was a super dog, which could have gotten us killed numerous times!" By now Mittens practically yelled at them.
"Us, you mean that you-" Penney's mom interupted Eli.
"Bolt, Mittens, Rhino, Vincent, Eli lunch is ready!" With that we all headed to the kitchen for something to eat. On my way there I could help but notice that Vincent was looking at Mittens hungrily. I don't know but I kept close to Mittens, slightly hovering.
I didn't know why, but something told this would be a long month.
Sorry if anyone was out of character. Reveiw please!
