Chapter 12:
Bolt's Love Story
"It's a long story." Bolt said. "What are you guys doing tomorrow?" Bolt asked trying to change the subject.
"We have all the time in the world." Phoenix said.
"Especially to hear about your past." Mittens chimed in.
"So why don't you start right now?" Max asked.
Bolt knew that he had been beat so he started to tell the story.
Time for a flashback:
As Penny's phone began to vibrate Bolt looked at her.
"Sorry buddy you know I have to go." Penny said.
She stood up and Bolt went to block the door. Maraculously there was enough room for her to step down the steps to leave Bolt's metallic trailer. Quickly Penny gave Bolt a hug and then she slowly opened the door so Bolt wouldn't try to get out, but as usual he stood there with his big pleading eyes as if he were asking her not to leave. The door shut and he heard voiceses as Penny's agent walker her out of the warehouse. This happened every week until Bolt met another dog within the show. Her name was Roxanne.
"Wow!" Bolt exclaimed as she ran towards him in a full sprint.
"RUN!" she yelled as she past him.
"Run from what?" he asked but he instantly saw what she was running from. One of Calico's defences on his island was coming after her. He did as she said and began to follow the strange dog. To his right was a trail leading to his trailer and the door was opened hoping it would be safer in there than it was out here in the woods. As he entered the trailer he noticed a different scent that wasn't his or Penny's. This particular scent was female and it was a canine, and he could tell it was still here. The door behind him shut and the female canine came out of the kitchen.
"Are we safe?" she asked.
"I don't know." Bolt replied still looking at the closed door.
"My name is Roxanne, and you are?" she asked.
"My name is on a need to know basis." Bolt replied.
"Well I think we should get to know each other a little more." Roxanne said in a friendly tone.
"Since you think that I should tell you my name I think you should tell me why you are here." Bolt said now looking at Roxanne.
"I was sent here to try to get you and your partner Penny to join an elite force looking to get rid of evil in the world." Roxanne said.
"I decline that offer as I am sure Penny will as well." He replied.
"Bolt I will be back and I will try to help you out with any problem and hopefully you will reconsider the offer that I have laid out for you." Roxanne replied.
"How did you know my name?" Bolt asked.
"Trust me I know almost everything about you and your family." She replied as she walke out the now open door.
Back to the present:
"She came back several times after that and we became the best of friends." Bolt said.
"Then she had puppies and you left?" Mittens asked.
"No this all happened when I was still in the movie business so I thought that I had some more important business." Bolt said.
"So you left?" Max asked.
"Yes and I regret it." Bolt said. "And I'm sorry I left." He added. Max was silent, and then there was a loud crashing sound.
