"Awesome!" Lightning yelled in surprise as he saw the driplets of raindrops fall from the sky. See, if there was two things Lightning liked more than anything the first of it would be playing around with Penny. Much like Bolt, Lightning loved Penny more than anything, often at times playing with her more like catch and such, but usually only if Bolt isn't telling anymore stories for the day. The second thing he liked more than anything would be storms. See, aside from the fact he was actually named lightning, he loved playing out in the rain, one because it amused him alot, and two, just because there was something about thunder and lightning that made him feel like he was in the middle of some sort of thrilling adventure, like the thunder was an explosion, or the lightning bolts were some kind of laser beam.

"This is gonna be f-" Lightning began as he was about to leap outside, only to stop as a certain paw caught his tail, pinning it to the floor.

"And where do you think your going?" Marin asked, raising a brow.

"Aww c'mon mom," Lightning began to complain, "can't I just go out for a little while?" He begged.

"No way, not after you came back the last time covered in mud."

"I was just playing around, besides, I got punished for it didn't I?"

"Having Penny give you a bath isn't exactly considered a, much less useful, form of punishment." Marin commented.

"It is when she uses soap, bwrwrw." Lightning responded, shriveling at the mere thought of having soap in his skin. Unlike most kids around his age, it wasn't the thought of being clean in general that bugged him, he was just bothered by the soap in general because it would take him hours to get all the suds out of his fur even after the bath, and it always made him kinda itchy. He looked back at his mom with a more pleading look before he added, "Please mom, I promise I'll stay away from the mud this time." Marin gave him a questionable look as she grinned, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh, are you sure?" She gestured. Lightning starred off into space fora moment or two as he scratched behind his ears, then replied, "We'll I'll at least try to." He answered. Marin just shook her head to herself, knowing that it wouldn't end well either way, but still let go of his tail.

"Alright alright you can go." His mom agreed. Lightning barked in excitement before he licked his mom's face, then ran off.

"Thank's mom!" He yelled back.

"Just be back if the storm get's worse!" Marin added as she watched her son play in the rain.

"I will!" He yelled back, jumping in the air as he tried to catch the falling rain drops in his mouth. Marin just sighed to herself before she walked back inside the house through the doggie door, shaking what water did get soaked into her fur before sighing as she breathed in relaxed.

"Hey Marin." Bolt greeted as he walked to the door, seeing who was coming in.

"Hey dear." She greeted back, brushing her head softly against his.

"Where's Lightning? He came in half an hour ago to get fed, haven't seen him since." Bolt asked, noticing Lightning's absence.

"Ooh, I just let him out to play for a bit, I don't think it would hurt him that much..."

An Hour Later...

"The Citizens enjoy their quiet evening, watching as everything seems to go just fine. But then out of the blue, A giant robot appears, and begins to vaporize the good people!" Lightning narrated to himself, leaping towards wet patch of mud, making strange grunting noises to himself which had the strange, yet, relatable sound of laser beams.

Of course, as you might expect, he was dirty. Soaked from all the rain, and jumping around in the wet grass for the last fifth teen minutes most obviously got him all dirty, with the mud spreading dirt and slush all around himself, he looked more like a brown-tinted dog now than a white dog, although you could barely see the tint, especially compared to parts of him that the mud wasn't covering.

"Just when all hope seems lost, the great and mighty Lightning leaps into town, and knocks down the giant colossus with his almighty, Super Bark!" Lightning announced, slowly yet steadily setting his hind leg behind him, and another paw in front of him. Taking a deep breath, he let out a mighty howl as loud as he could. To his surprise, which even made him jump a bit in fright, a loud crackling thunder followed this as lightning lit the air.

"Woah...that was awesome!" Lightning exclaimed in excitement. He repeated the procedure as he put his back and front paw in place, before letting out another loud bark. Like before, this one was also followed by a thunderous lightning. Lightning barked in excitement as he became amused by this predicament, feeling as if the storm was playing with him on purpose. "This is gonna be awesome!"

"On a later news, the Bolt series has been confirmed to be coming to theatres, three month's time. Not much has been revealed as of late about the film itself, although it has also been announced that there will be a special screening in California in a week's time, with a special appearance by two of the film's biggest, and well-known stars, Penny, none other than the hero himself, her dog, Bolt." The reporter said. At the time, family, with the exception of Lightning who was outside, and Penny's mother who was still on her way home from work. The remainder who was there was staying nice and warm in the house. Penny was wrapped from the waist down in a warm blanket, Mittens was laying on her lap, Rhino, in his ball as usual, on her side, and the sleepy couple known as Marin and Bolt were laying on the rug, with Bolt's head over Marin's body. As the rest of them rested, Bolt and Penny were the only ones awake, although Bolt was still sleepy as he let out a soft yawn.

"Ya hear that boy?" Penny asked, getting his attention. "We're gonna finally see our movie, then we'll finally be done with Hollywood for good." Penny said as she reached down to pet Bolt across the head, who let out an encouraging woof.

See, apparently more explaining is required. See, even though the series had finally ended, there was Public pressure for a movie of the series, and to star the original cast of Penny and Bolt. Initially, and obviously, the family was mostly against it, but after numerous fan mail from the public, the duo was finally encouraged to agree to the filming of a movie.

"Yes, the movie is said to be a greatly anticipated event that..." The News reporter paused as he put his hand to his ear. "Oh...Oh my, ok I'll tell. This just in for the people in the surrounding area," the reporter began, catching Penny's and Bolt's attention. " that a thunderstorm warning has been issued. All residence are advised to stay inside until further notice." The reporter said just as Marin began to wake up with a yawn.

"Hmm, guess that explains why mom's late tonight." Penny guessed as she put Rhino on the floor and lifted Mittens as she began to get up. "I'm gonna go make some hot chocolate, ok Bolt?" Penny said as she laid Mittens back down on the couch and left. Bolt looked back as he felt Marin trying to get up.

"What was that about a warning?" Marin asked as she scratched her ears, still waking up.

"Ah nothing much, just some thunderstorm, but it should pass in awhile." Bolt explained. Marin let out another drowned yawn before she shook her head awake.

"Well that's good. Where's Lightning?" She asked, looking around the room. Bolt cocked his head as he gave her a strange look.

"Didn't he come in already?" Bolt asked.

"No, the last time I saw him was-" Marin just froze with a frightened expression upon her face. It took Bolt a few seconds before he gave her a surprised look as well, figuring out what was going on.

"Lightning!" They both yelled worriedly.

At the current time, Lightning was playing around with the storm itself. Normally, at the sign of the storm worsening, he would've ran back inside as expected. However, what kept the little devil preoccupied at the moment was the thunder. For some strange yet interesting reason, some of his super barks were followed by booms of thunder, exciting him to the point of wanting to do it again and again. He didn't even notice as the downpour continued to increase and the lightning itself became more frequent.

"And Lightning saves the day! And the crowd goes wild, cheering his name! But a heroes work is never done, for he hears another cry for h-"

"Help!" a mysterious voice goes off. Lightning just blinked to himself as he looked around.

"Hello? Who's there?" He yelled around himself.

"Help me! I can't get up!" The voice repeated. This time Lightning looked towards the direction of the yelling, seeing a turtle on the other side of the street, near the grass, flipped upside down on his shell. Lightning blinked to himself in a curious fashion, pondering whether or not to help him. The last time he ever did something, he ended up getting lost for four hours until his parents finally found him. Making up his mind, he looked on both sides of the street before gulping, then ran as fast as he could to the other side. The turtle suddenly grew in fear as he saw the pup.

"Ahh! Don't eat me!" He cried, retreating to the inside of his shell.

"Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt you." He said, using his nose as he helped flip the turtle to his stomach. The turtle finally came out of his shell as he looked around, surprised to still find himself alive.

"Wow, thanks shunny, your a real hero." The Turtle complimented. Lightning wagged his tail in excitement and smiled to this.

"Gee, thanks mister." Lightning replied.

"Yup, now if you'll excuse me, I need to get out of this ran before the storm hits." The turtle said before (slowly) running off. Lightning just raised an eyebrow at what the turtle just said.

"Storm?" He questioned. He suddenly jumped at the sudden lightning bolt that lit up the sky, which was followed by a loud crackling thunder. "Whoa!" He yelped.

"Lightning!" Lightning suddenly heard. He looked back towards the house as he saw his mom and dad on the door steps. "Lightning, get back to the house!" Marin yelled, only to be interrupted by a large crackling thunder. Lightning tilted his head in confusion.

"What?" He yelled back.

"Get back to the hou-" Bolt began. But unlike before, not only did a large thunder fill the sky, a stray bolt of lightning shot down, barely a few feet away from Lightning, causing him to jump back a few feet.

"Whoa!" He screamed in shock. Not long after, there was another bolt which spooked him, causing him to shiver in fear as his ears fell to his side.

"Lightning, come towards the house!" Marin yelled out. Lightning simply gulped a bit to himself as he cautiously crawled to towards the other side of the road. However, what he didn't see, with a mix of the smoke from the lightning bolt and the fact all the rain had made the area rather misty, he suddenly let out another panicked yelp as he suddenly fell into a pot hole. Originally, the pot hole was only a foot or two long and deep, but now with the added lightning that just struck the ground, it was at least another good foot deep and two more feet wide, causing the little pup to now be submerged in the water which had filled up quickly from the rain, and from what water was already in the hole from the rain.

"Aggh! Mogh-" Lightning let out a drowned cry for help as he struggled to even stay afloat from the increasing storm. See, even though Lightning was active and imaginative, and for what it's worth a little trouble maker, he never once went swimming, much less, even knew how to swim. Still, even with what yelp was muffled, Bolt and Marin could just as easily hear it.

"Lightning!" They both yelled out again as they ran towards there son. However, half way there, Bolt stopped in his tracks as his ears picked up on something. He looked towards both ends of the street, hearing a strange rummaging noise that he just "knew" what it was, he just couldn't remember "what" it was. His answer came to him quickly though as he suddenly saw two bright lights getting closer, eyes widenening at the mere sight of it, before looking back towards Marin, who was still running straight towards Lightning to save him.

"Marin no!" He yelled, quickly taking off again. Marin didn't even bother trying to look back towards him as she was only focused on Lightning. As soon as she got there, she looked to her left as she suddenly heard the sound of rummaging, seeing a car heading straight towards her. Yet despite this, she had little concern over this compared to her drowning son.

At the same time...

"Gah!" Mittens yelled, hearing the last thunder and practically feeling the bolt of lightning as well. She also inadvertly knocked Rhino off the couch, causing him to wake up. He quickly yelped as he took on a kungfoo pose, breathing heavily at the sudden "earthquake" he felt, or in this case, a drop from the couch to the floor.

"Ah! Stay back! I know self defense!" He said quickly panting. He blinked as he was fine though. "Huh, could've sworn there were spies around."

"You dream way to much ya know that?" Mittens commented, letting out a yawn as she stretched.

"Oh hey mittens." Rhino said, giving a yawn after Mittens, scratching his back. He took a look around the room, seeing only himself and mittens in it. "Hey, where's the Hero-trio?" He asked in a curious fashion.

"I don't know, maybe they're outside." Mittens replied as she leaped onto the table next to an outside window. She noticed as the rain continued to go on, seemingly endless. She flinched though at the sudden sight of the pup caught in the pot hole on the road, seeing how he was currently stuck as he was.

"Lightning!" Mittens yelled, quickly hoping off the table. Rhino looked as he saw Mittens running towards the kitchen, where Penny was still making some hot chocolate.

"Hey wait, what's wrong?"

"It's Lightning, he's in trouble!" Mittens yelled back as she ran. When she finally came to the kitchen, she saw Penny just stirring in the hot chocolate. "Hey Penny! Penny!" Mittens yelled, although it only came out as meowing to Penny. Penny simply smiled as she scratched the cat's head.

"Hey you, sleep well?" Penny asked. Crud, what am I thinking? Mittens thought to herself. Of course I'm a cat! She won't understand me... Mittens contemplated as she quickly tried to think of a plan. It soon came to her when she saw Penny grabbing a spoon, prepared to mix the chocolate powdery substance with the hot water. Using cat-like-reflexes (literally in this case : / ) she quickly jumped to the counter, grabbing the spoon right out of Penny's hand, startling her.

"Hey! Mittens!" She said, quickly chasing the cat who led her through the door.

Making a decision quickly, Marin hastily began to pull on Lightning's collar as hard as she could. The bad news was the fact that he was now completely underwater, and the soaked fur was adding a bit of weight to pull. The worse news was that she knew for a fact that pulling him up and dragging him out of the car's way was a different story.

As Penny burst through the door, she saw Mittens suddenly look back at her with the spoon still in her mouth.

"Mittens, bad cat." Penny scolded, a bit softly as she took the spoon back. "Seriously, what's gotten into-" Penny suddenly froze as she saw what Mittens was previously looking at out in the distance; the sight of Marin out in the road as a car was coming towards her. "No...Wait stop!" Penny yelled, dashing out into the rain. The driver, who finally revealed to be Penny's mother, suddenly gasped as the headlights finally filled the streets in front of her, showing her the dogs that were currently in the streets, as well as a frightened Penny who ran towards the car. Her mother immediately slammed the breaks, trying her best to stop the car, but to no use as the rain continued to slide the car towards the two dogs. Right at the last second, Marin caught hold of Lightning's collar, quickly pulling the passed out pup out of the water, yanking him all the way back towards the grass. The last thing Marin saw were headlights coming her way with a horn and Marin's scream filling the air.

"Noooooo!" Penny cried.
