*So that the story wouldn't seem so incomplete, I put an ending.
Mittens was out on the porch, staring up at the pale moon. She sighed as the rays of light beamed over her side.
Looking at the area which was lit by the moon rays, Mittens was silently surprised to see a shadow of a dog.
No sooner after, Bolt padded to her side and sat down.
"Hey," He said quite happily.
"Hey." Mittens replied.
"What 'cha doing out here so late?" Bolt asked.
Half-shrugging, Mittens said: "Couldn't sleep." She tried to avoid his glance.
It remained silent for awhile, except for the breeze going through the trees.
Bolt cocked his head to see Mittens' facing-down. He smiled sweetly, the kind of smile that makes you wanna hug him and cry across his shoulder, spilling all the truth to him.
Mittens inhaled. "Bolt, was there ever a time that you wanted to say something, but you were afraid about what anyone else would think?"
"I'm a TV star." Bolt answered briefly. "Haven't gone out much, actually."
"Well I was an alley cat- but that doesn't change the difficulty of things…" Mittens explained.
"Why?" Bolt asked.
Mittens swallowed hard.
"Is it about…me?" he suggested.
Looking at him with teary eyes, Mittens said: "I can't say it…I-I'm a cat. It-it's not right…"
Bolt moved closer to his feline companion.
"If I were a dog, it would be easier…it would feel right…" Mittens started crying as she felt a furry arm wrap over her. She was instantly stunned.
"Just say it." He said, gently grasping her.
Without moving her eyes to him Mittens mustered up all her courage.
"Bolt," she began.
"Wait." He said.
"What?" Mittens questioned softly.
Removing his arm from her, Bolt crept over to see Mittens eye-to-eye. He had a serious look on his face that made Mittens want to cry.
"I think I feel it too."
"…"
"Mittens,"
"Bolt,"
The breeze blew once again.
Bolt leaned in and gave Mittens a lick (kiss) on the side of her cheek.
Resuming his former position, Bolt saw Mittens' expression; filled with inner joy.
He smiled. She didn't have to say anything.
Mittens went beside Bolt. She purred as she rubbed her muzzle on his.
"I love you too…" she said.
Both watched the moon in the sky as a shooting star flew past it.
THE END
