Rayman Legends Adventures in Bolt/Script

We were shown a different beginning. The Greenwood siblings and Riley were around their younger ages and were walking with a red-haired girl.
"Well, Penny, what are you going to name the dog if you find the right one," Lex asked the girl with them.
Penny held out the collar she was carrying for the dog she was going to adopt today. "His name will be 'Bolt'."
"Because he'll be swift and brave," Jesse asked.
"Yes," Penny beamed as she opened the door to the pet shelter as the man changed the closed sign to open and let the others in with her.
Riley, Jesse, Lex and Tim looked all around for the perfect pet for Penny to adopt.
"The closest fact I have as a pet is Belle and Master Adam's dog, Sultan..." Riley said as they glanced around to find the right pet, "he's not mine, but I love playing with him with Gabrielle and Chip."
There were several brown and white puppies who were arranged together in one habitat as a white shepherd puppy stared at a carrot squeaky toy. And where even if a human passed side-by-side, the carrot squeaky toy couldn't stay far from its mind. The other puppies followed after the human. The shepherd puppy looked interested for a moment, but then continued to 'attack' the carrot squeaky toy. Penny kept looking with her new friends to find the right pet, but then came over to the puppy habitat.
"A puppy would make a grand pet," Jesse grinned.
"Yes," Tim grinned.
"Puppy," Penny grinned.
"Go ahead," Riley even encouraged.
"This little guy looks like he could do..." Lex said as she saw one puppy who was not like the others.
The white shepherd puppy turned over with the toy in his mouth, looking right into Penny's eyes as she approached the habitat.
'He's looking at Penny,' Jesse thought to himself with a grin.
The puppy twitched, but suddenly barked and ran around in a circle to chase his tail like many dogs did so. Penny chuckled, she found that adorably funny.
"He's perfect," Penny grinned.
"He looks like a noble hero in training," Riley said.
"Yes, he really does," Jesse said.
"This one," Penny warned the owner that she wanted the white puppy up front.
The man went over and put his hand to pick up the puppy and allow Penny to have him as her very own pet.
"He's really cute," Lex grinned.
The man grinned as he gently put the puppy in Penny's arms.
"Here, boy...you're heavy," Penny chuckled as she took the puppy and set herself down on the floor to put his new collar around his neck.
The white dog grinned emotionally to Penny as she latched the collar around his neck.
"There," Penny petted the dog on the head. "You're a nice boy...." she hugged him nice and tight, "you're my nice boy."
"Awww," the Greenwood siblings and Riley grinned.
It was a lovely bond. Penny picked up her puppy, naming him Bolt, and came over to her home with her new friends.
Amber was making lunch, she was now all grown up and happily married with a daughter, Penny, of course. "I hope she has found a lovely new friend."
The man at the table put down his newspaper with a grin to his wife. "I'm sure she did so.....she has your eye on pets, my darling."
"That's true," Amber grinned.
Then the couple shared a kiss as Amber continued to stuff lunch.
Penny came through the door, carrying her white shepherd puppy. "Mum, Daddy, we're back!"
"Oh, sure," Amber called with a grin.
"Well, where is this little guy," Dwight asked his daughter.
"Right here," Penny came into the kitchen, showing her parents Bolt.
"Awww! He's so cute," Amber grinned.
"Oh, he's adorable," Dwight added.
Bolt barked softly and grinned to his new owner's parents, shivering lightly. This was starting out to be the start of Bolt's new life and where his life would have more surprises.
"Do you think he'll like Bolt," Amber asked her husband.
"I'll get him on the phone right now," Dwight agreed, but went over to the phone, putting down his newspaper.
"Who calls Daddy, Mummy," Patch asked.
"His agent," Amber replied.
"Oh," Penny said, now understanding.
"Sir, Penny found a dog," Dwight said as soon as he got on the phone, "he's an American White Shepherd...his name? Well, uhh..."
"Bolt, Daddy," Penny said.
"Yes, his name's Bolt," Dwight said, "I think you'll like him, sir."
"How could he not like Bolt," Penny grinned.
"I'm sure he will, darling," Amber grinned back, "he looks like a lovely dog..."
Jesse, Lex, Tim and Riley agreed.
"Really," Dwight grinned, "oh, thank you, sir, you won't regret this."
"That sounds like a nice sign," Amber said once she was done making their lunch.
Dwight hung up the phone with a grin.
"What is this, Daddy," Penny asked her father.
Bolt looked up to Penny's father as well, looking interested.
"Darling," Amber asked her husband.
"You know how until I was around your age and I used to be on Thunderbolt as the little boy in danger," Dwight asked his daughter.
"Of course, Dad, you've warned me before," Penny grinned.
"Why haven't you," Amber teased her husband.
"Huh..." Dwight glanced at his wife with a smirk, but turned back to Penny, "well, I was wondering.....how would you like to have your own show with your new pet?"
"I'd love it," Penny grinned.
Bolt wasn't sure what was going on around him, but since Penny was happy, it made him happy.
"I guess Bolt likes the sound of that as well," Tim noticed.
"This means she won't have time to play," Amber said.
Bolt tilted his head.
"What do you mean, Mum," Penny asked.
"You'll be an actress, darling," Amber said, "you'll be busy, busy, busy! My best friend from elementary school used to be an actress, but...we'll only do it if you want to...do you want to be an actress, Penny?"
This was a hard decision for Penny to make. It sounded fun on one hand, but that would mean she wouldn't have much time for school and would likely have to be privately tutored, but she would be with Bolt all the time and they would live in adventures, even though they wouldn't have real adventures like the ones that her friends had been on.
"You should do it, Penny," Jesse said.
"You think so," Penny asked.
"It might be an amazing opportunity and interesting experience," Lex said, "plus, you'll be doing a TV show and not a movie, so it should take less time than being on camera for a movie like a movie star in Hollywood."
"Yes," Tim said.
"I can think about it, right," Penny asked.
"Of course, I would never wanna make you do something you wouldn't wanna do, but I hope you accept," Dwight replied with a grin.
"We'll be happy with whatever decision you make," Amber grinned.
Penny grinned back to her parents. "I think I wanna do it."
Bolt began to bark while wagging his tail, warning them he was emotional.
"What is this, boy," Penny asked.
Jesse knelt down in front of the white shepherd. "You like that idea, boy?"
Bolt began to nod while barking emotionally.
"I think Bolt's up for it as well," Jesse said to the others.
Bolt nodded as he jumped around in emotion.
"Alright, then I'll make the call," Dwight grinned.
"Thank you, Daddy," Penny beamed.
"Remember, if you don't like it an entire lot, we understand, we won't think of you any less," Amber hugged her daughter.
"I understand, Mum," Amber grinned.
Amber grinned, patting her daughter on her golden red hair.
"Guys, before anything else," Penny said to her friends before showing her pinkie finger, "can we promise that none of us will ever forget about each other?"
"A pinkie promise," Riley asked once she saw the gesture.
Penny nodded.
"Alright then," the Greenwood siblings and Riley said before linking their pinkie fingers together with Penny's.
"Best friends," Penny said to them.
"Forever," the cousins added to her.
It was set, Penny was the co-star in an action television show with a super dog named Bolt. Dwight and Amber kept reminding Penny that she could stop wherever she wanted to, but she existed that she was fine and Dwight reminded her of what she would be going through since he had done the same things if he was younger and the damsel boy in distress known as Tommy on Thunderbolt.
About five years later, everybody knew Penny and Bolt's names and the cousins were coming to visit one day as Darla warned her nieces and nephews that she wouldn't be able to make it, but she had invited them to see Amber, Bolt and Penny for her. And where the director had agreed to let Jesse be on the show with Penny and Bolt. As a guest spot, about five years later...
"Hello," Penny, who was now five years older, was on her cell phone as she sat on a bench with Bolt and Jesse, there was a very dramatic and action atmosphere filled with cold-blooded suspense.
"Penny..." a male voice said, sounding afraid.
"Daddy," Penny asked.
"I don't have much time....." the male said, sounding very urgent and concerned.
"Daddy, are you alright," Penny asked which made Bolt and Akito look over as it wasn't so peaceful and zen anymore since she sounded worried for her missing father.
"Something's come up at work, darling..." the man warned Penny over the line.
"I don't understand." Penny frowned.
Jesse and Bolt both looked very worried.
"What's going on," Penny asked as she looked very concerned.
"Bolt can protect you," the male said, sounding gravely serious, "I've altered him."
The scene changed to a male scientist with Bolt. The white shepherd dog shivered heavily as he was placed in a machine and his genes were being spliced and he was being turned into a super dog and was no longer a normal, average, everyday dog, but yet would be Penny's best friends, as dogs were naturally best friends with whoever adopted/raised them. Jesse was there to help the male scientist in any fashion he could.
Thanks to being a 'star pupil' to one Wile E. Coyote and was advanced in science in some fashions better than none, he was intelligent enough to help them, despite being only fourteen-years-old. Bolt was a super dog now and he was now born with a black bolt on the side of his stomach that gave him his new namesake.
Penny, Bolt and Jesse were running on a roof top and Penny took out special goggles to find her father who had been missing for a while now, but she found someone even more worthy, though very vile and dastardly; her arch nemesis. The green-eyed man and the cats. She could also overhear the heinous plan as he was inside of a building, unknown to him, being watched by Penny, Bolt and Jesse.
"There he is, guys, Calico," Penny said once she let her super dog and boy friend look through her binoculars.
Bolt snarled like he wanted to attack the man while Jesse looked very outraged.
"Any luck getting our guest to spill his guts," the man listening to the villain asked as he communicated through a screen.
"Oh, his guts will spill...." Dr. Calico promised, "one road or another..."
"Never," the man held hostage frowned as a cat hopped up next to him, "I'll never speak!"
Penny gasped in alarm. "Daddy!"
Jesse clenched his fists, frustrated with how evil the green-eyed man was.
"You're beginning to irk me, Professor," Dr. Calico frowned at Penny's father. "I'm irked," he looked to the man outside of the screen, "has the package arrived? I think it'll make our friend a little 'communicative'."
"I'm sending an agent to pick it up," the other man replied, looking to the one next to him.
The man nodded before heading out. Then Penny, Bolt and Jesse made their road to follow this agent.
Penny took out a teen magazine and pretended to read it, once she saw the man turning a corner, she put it down and frowned firmly at him. "Guys, let's go," she warned her friend and dog as they went away.
Bolt was reading a doggy magazine and threw it down as he followed his young mistress and Jesse did the same. They began to follow the man into an alley road to find out where Calico was. They were hot on the agent's tail and they came up to a dead-end corner and the alley. Oddly enough, the man they were tracking down was nowhere to be found.
Suddenly, a metal door came up to block one road out, which alarmed Penny slightly. A black car was riding up to where Penny, Bolt and Jesse were.
"We only need the girl," Calico warned the agent.
The agent nodded to that and drove the car faster for the auburn girl. Bolt glowered his eyes and charged for the car, butting his head with it, which made the car fly off the road and come high over Jesse and Penny's heads as it hit down on the road and broke slightly. Then Bolt began to scratch where his collar was. Jesse went up to one of the car windows and started to knock on it with a serious look.
The window rolled up, or in this case, rolled down. Penny came to Jesse's side and knelt down next to him to see the agent who was after her.
"What," the agent growled at them.
"Where's Calico," Penny frowned.
"I'm not telling you children anything," the agent replied.
"Oh, really," Jesse smirked.
Suddenly, they were over a bridge and Jesse was holding the car out over the edge of the water to drop the agent if he wouldn't speak.
"OK, that's it, let me go, I'll speak," the agent yelped as his sunglasses fell into the water, "near Lake Rogaguado!"
"Lake Rogaguado....." Penny repeated, "I should've known."
Then Penny, Bolt and Jesse saw that they had company and not the best kind.
"C'mon, guys, let's go," Penny said, knowing this wasn't a nice sign.
Jesse hit the car over top of the bridge, but didn't destroy it as he and Bolt came to the girl's sides as she got out her bag. Penny took out her scooter and helmet as she was ready to run off of certain evil. Jesse came to her side as they were going to be ready to get a move on. Bolt ran ahead of the children as they dashed away to escape the drones, luckily throwing them away at one part and dodging any cars coming down the street.
"Bolivia," Penny said as an eye-piece came out of her helmet, "there's a flight leaving in ten moments."
"We'll make it as long as we don't get any interruptions," Jesse said.
There were suddenly men coming on motorcycles.
"We have company," Penny said to Jesse as they kept trying to escape.
"Looks like Calico isn't making this easy for us," Jesse said.
"He just doesn't play fair......" Penny said, but took out a small tube and put it in her dog's mouth, "Bolt, Zoom-Zoom!"
Bolt took the tube and began to accelerate in very hyper speed while Penny attached his leash to her scooter where they could both go in hyper speed together to get away from the bad guys. Jesse ran away at the same speed so he could keep up with them. Penny wasn't even afraid, she trusted her dog to bring them to the right fashion as she sped with them to save her father. The bad guys had electrified hands and tried to reach out and catch Jesse or Penny, but luckily, they kept missing as Bolt led them to a building.
"It's so nice to be on the good side," Jesse grinned.
"You said it, buddy," Penny agreed with a smirk.
They came to where Bolt took them and they were coming up to a wall.
"Wall, Jesse," Penny warned as Bolt saw the wall and was ready to ram his head against it.
Jesse rammed against the wall with him, making a hole. The bad guys smashed against that as the heroes were able to get away. Bolt grinned back to Penny and Jesse, but it didn't last long as more bad guys came for them. One bad guy had a disc that counted down from one minute and threw it over to a gasoline truck that was driving next to a school bus.
"Bolt, fetch," Penny commanded once she saw that.
Bolt let go of the tube in his mouth and went off to save the truck and bus from the bomb disc.
"Bolt sure is one amazing dog," Jesse grinned.
"I'm mighty proud of him," Penny grinned back.
Bolt continued to go after the disc bomb where he could get it before it would explode. He did a high jump from the one bridge he was on with the human children and jumped to the other. The bad guys chuckled darkly as they came to Penny and Jesse's sides, about to tease them. Penny and Jesse ducked down and got away together just as the one bad guy hit the other by incident, shocking him instantly.
"Naughty guys have all the worst luck," Jesse smirked.
Bolt fetched the disc and ran past the school bus as the kids on board watched the dog in action. Then droves hovered high above and came after Bolt now. Bolt saw a crane hook and jumped for it, landing right on top of it perfectly as he carried the bomb in his mouth.
And where it was on a timer, where he had to hurry and find someplace else to put it. He jumped on top of a speeding train as he had thirty seconds left and ran with the disc as the drones flew after him. Then the white dog zapped at the drone right behind him about to shoot with his laser eyes to melt away the gun and he kept running after that.
"I'm so glad that we have Bolt on our side," Jesse grinned.
"Nice boy," Penny cheered for Bolt.
"How long until the rest of them are done way," Jesse asked with a smirk.
"Should be any second now," Penny guesstimated.
The other drone smashed and fell, but another one came up right in front of it and a guy on a motorcycle came out, now driving after Bolt. He fired a missile after the white dog. Bolt jumped off the train to miss the missile right behind him and was now heading to get away as a bad guy now chased Penny and Jesse.
"We have a bogie," Jesse informed Penny as he looked behind them.
Penny frowned her copper brown eyes as the bad guy reached out his hand to electrocute both of them. However, to the bad guy's surprise, Bolt was now on his shoulder after destroying another drone and looked as the dog got away. The bad guy looked up and saw that the bomb was now on top of his head, ready to blow up.
But before it could blow, he threw it off over his shoulder. It stuck onto a drone right above and then they both exploded with three seconds to spare. The bad guy was relieved and was about to wipe his forehead, but he had tasered himself and knocked himself off his motorcycle.
"Nice boy," Penny said to Bolt with a proud grin.
Bolt barked her in thanks.
"Now to the airport," Jesse said.
Penny, Bolt and Jesse made a sharp turn over for the airport, but then saw several drones and cars ride up to them.
"Whoops," Penny and Jesse said hesitantly once they saw they were surrounded.
Penny stopped her scooter as she knew how to stop this. "Bolt, speak."
Jesse got his ears ready as Bolt got himself ready for his signature move. The drones and cars were coming closer and closer. Penny ducked down next to Jesse as she covered her own ears over her scooter helmet. Bolt reared his head back and let out a loud, anguished shriek. As he did so, his bark began to send all the drones cars and bad guys flying. The ground even bent back slightly and the cars and drones flew in the air and backed up, very, very far off of Jesse, Penny and Bolt.
"Wow, now that's some distance," Jesse grinned.
"Nice job, buddy," Penny petted her white dog once it was safe, but took out her camera to take their picture, "mission accomplished."
"That's a keeper," Jesse grinned once the picture was taken.
After the photo was taken, the human children and white shepherd were walking safely along the broken up and mutilated road. There was a bad guy who was slowly breathing, but wasn't getting up to go after them. The children and dog went into a metal trailer and shut the door that had Bolt's name on it.
Once the door was closed, everyone began to move. Then it was revealed this was actually a set and none of it was real, it was actually a TV show filming. Jesse came out of the trailer and came off the set.
"Nice job, Jesse," the director praised.
"Thank you, sir," Jesse said, but walked further along, coming to his brother, sister and cousin, "hey, guys. How was that?"
"Well, I think you have a little carried away until you--" Lex was about to say as Tim gave a thumbs up.
"Man, Jesse, you are hard core," Riley came up to Jesse, "you were just as nice as them, you were kicking and then you were punching, and you were hitting, and-and-and..."
"Basically, you were fantastic," Tim said.
Lex sighed. "Yeah, you fight nice."
"Thanks, guys," Jesse folded his arms with a grin.
"I wonder if there were any slip-ups with any of the crew members," Tim said.
"We should find out," Riley suggested as she put her bow in her mouth while slicking up her hair to put it back into a low ponytail.
"Agreed," Lex said.
"Help me with my hair," Riley muffled to her fellow girl.
"Oh, sure," Lex saw the effort and helped her cousin put her hair back up into a ponytail.
"Thanks, Lex," Riley grinned.
Lex grinned back, but put her hair in place. "There you go."
"Alright, let's go," Riley said, "but where?"
"Just follow the crew," Jesse said.
The teenagers looked over and saw the crew coming, chattering with each other. Then Jesse, Lex, Tim and Riley went over to the crew and blended in with them to hear about today's episode filming.
A blonde woman with headphones opened the door as there were other people watching the screens about the filming. Everyone began to look over everything they recorded. The filming was so far so nice, but a camera was paused. The boom mike was shown in the corner, which was a big no-no on television and movies.
"Oh, you can't be serious," Jesse moaned silently.
"That's messy..." the lead man moaned, "they saw that!"
"Who cares if the dog and the boy who is in this room could now see it," a lady asked.
The man didn't like that, he slowly turned to the woman who said that and slightly frowned to her. "I'm sorry, what was that?"
"First, I asked who cares if the dog and boy saw the microphone? Second, he's now in a room with his sister, brother and cousin," the lady warned him.
"Forgive me if I ask, but who are you," the man asked.
"Mindy Parker," the woman droned her name, "Cooperate Network."
"Cooperate Network......" the man repeated lowly. "Let me show you....what you see here," he asked her, gesturing to a camera screencap with Bolt running in mid-air.
"Uh...the dog..." Mindy replied dryly.
'She doesn't seem interested in action shows,' Jesse thought to himself.
"Oh, Mindy..." the man droned to the bitter woman who could opponent Rae in iciness, "poor, poor Mindy..."
"Am I missing something," Mindy replied.
"You're losing everything, Mindy," the man frowned back, "you see the dog and the boy. I see an animal that believes with every fiber of his existence, every fiber that the girl he loves is in mortal danger with the help of a new friend who is an extraordinary son of an extraordinary net. Never, Mindy, from the network!"
"Huh..." Mindy hummed.
"Makes your mother look warm and loving," Tim whispered to Riley.
Riley nodded in agreement.
'I couldn't say it better myself,' Jesse thought.
The children did their best to stay silent, even if they were exposed by Mindy as she spoke with the man in charge of the cameras.
'Perhaps she's here to speak about how grand the show is doing,' Lex thought to herself.
"We're jumping through the hoops to make sure Bolt believes everything is real," the man said to the network woman, trying to win against her petty little argument, "that's why we don't lose signs. That's why we don't shoot again and that's why we certainly don't let the dog see the boom mics! Because, Mindy from the network, if the dog believes it, the audience will believe it."
"Wow...alright..." Mindy sounded cynical, "you want reality? Please, boss. The show's too predictable. The girl's in danger, the dog saves her from the eerie English, we understand. There's always a happy ending. The boy you had with the girl is impressive, but even he could have saved her."
"Well, you say there are too many happy endings without any cliff edges," Jesse asked.
Mindy and the other adults looked over to Jesse. "Yes, actually, as a matter of fact," she replied, yet stoic and rather bitter, "everyone knows a happy ending is coming, no surprises, it's not fun anymore."
"I hate to say this, sir, but she's right, the endings are too predictable," Jesse said.
Without anyone noticing, Scruffy had found a fashion to sneak into the studio and then to Bolt's trailer.
"Predictably again," Riley whispered to her cousins.
"Too easy to find out, you know what's coming, it happens a lot....." Tim explained to her.
"Oh, that's right," Riley remembered, "I'm sorry, mister."
"You see, even the boy agrees with me," Mindy said.
The man looked hesitant as Mindy was about to take her leave.
"And our focus groups warn us 18-to-35-year-olds are unhappy," Mindy scolded as she was on her road out. "They're not satisfied with their happiness. Then perhaps you should, I don't know, spend a little less time concerning about how the dog works and more time figuring out how to stop 20-year-olds at Topeka from switching channels because if you lose even half a rating point and help me, I'll fire everyone in this room, starting with you. How does that sound," she closed the door shut, leaving the visiting children and adults in the darkness of her criticism.
"It doesn't hurt to change the formula, sir..." Tim said to the man in charge.
"Yes, everyone needs a little change from time to time," Riley agreed.
"Yes," Lex nodded.
While that was going on, Scruffy was now making his road to the trailer and began to look for a fashion store.
"There...it's perfect..." Penny was placing a photo against the wall to finish her collage of her with her wonder dog, but looked to him with a grin, "you saved me again, Bolt."
Bolt looked to her, but looked alert to the trailer door as he felt something was going on.
"There must be a fashion mall to get in," Scruffy whispered before trying to get the door open.
"It's alright, it's nothing," Penny warned her pet. "No naughty g----" she was about to say until she heard something nudging against the door.
Bolt and Penny looked to each other, then to the door curiously.
Penny came to the door and opened it, but saw no one there. "Hello..." she asked, looking around. "Hello," she heard Scruffy's bark before looking down to see the Dalmatian Cocker spaniel mix breed pup. "Hey, little guy..." she gently bent down and petted the spotted light brown puppy, "what are you doing here, right?"
Scruffy grinned and nuzzled up to her, showing he was gentle and friendly, though with a hint of hyperactivity and eccentric behavior. He looked inside the trailer to see Bolt and was beginning to get emotional.
"Scruffy, right," Penny looked at his collar, "well, I think you can come in, just calm down."
Scruffy ran over to the white shepherd dog. "Wow, it's really you!"
"Who are you," Bolt asked.
"I'm Scruffy, this is so incredibly amazing," the puppy smirked eagerly.
"Uhh...thank you..." Bolt blinked, "I think..."
"Wow, Bolt, looks like you've had a fan," Penny grinned.
Bolt grinned up to his young mistress. Scruffy looked very hyper and happy.
"I just love it if you use your powers on a TV show," Scruffy grinned.
"TV show," Bolt asked, tilting his head.
"You want some food, Bolty," Penny decided to feed her dog now, "are you hungry?"
"Some food sounds grand," Scruffy grinned.
"Uh, alright..." Bolt said to the stranger puppy.
Penny poured a bowl of Bolt's food in with another bowl for Scruffy since he didn't seem dangerous, incidentally dropping a cup on the floor. Then Bolt looked alert and growled.
"You've had them, Bolt, no one will hurt me," Penny promised as she walked with the bowl and set it down on the floor for the dogs to eat.
"Yes, she's safe, then let's go, let's eat," Scruffy grinned.
Bolt growled, yet looking very firm and serious.
"Bolt, it's alright," Penny said with a grin. "I'm fine, you see," she sat on her knees and patted her lap. "Come here, buddy, come here," she even tried to roll his ball over to him, "go get it, Bolt, go get it!"
Bolt glanced at the ball, but stayed right where he was as Scruffy eagerly and happily came to the food.
"Yes, that's not funny either," Penny frowned as she collected the ball, but she gasped as she had an idea. "Well, what have we got here? Your old buddy, Mr. Carrot," she took out the carrot squeaky toy and squeezed it.
Then Bolt looked over, but then he shook his head and kept staring at the door, expecting a bad guy to come and try to take Penny away. Scruffy began to eat right into the food. Penny looked over as her phone lit up, but she stood up and picked it up, sitting in the small seat she was given. Bolt knew what that meant and he whined to her.
"Oh, Bolt," Penny sighed, going to the door. "You know I have to go......" she hugged her dog and kissed his forehead. "Yes, you're my best boy....you're staying here with your new friend, alright," she went out of the trailer, leaving the dogs alone.
Scruffy ate the food, enjoying it very much, but looked over to Bolt. "C'mon, let's eat, it's a bomb!"
"No way, I'm waiting for Penny," Bolt said while standing guard.
"Get in line," Scruffy shrugged as he ate, the food being his main focus for right now, "oh, it's as if Uncle Rolly and I saw the Kanine Krunchies van break down...nice times..."
"You guys must get along grand," Bolt said.
"Oh, yes, one of the best," Scruffy laughed as he ate, "gosh, what's this croquet and how can I get it?"
Bolt rolled his eyes. "Children..."
Penny came outside her trailer and shut the door with a small mournful sigh, feeling Bolt's pain about being alone in the trailer, but at least he had some company.
"There she is," a man came up behind the auburn girl, "my little superstar."
Amber walked over with a grin to her talented daughter to bring her back home.
"Mum, I was hoping I could take Bolt back home," Penny said.
"Well, I..." Amber was about to say, "that would be nice...."
"That'd be nice, that'd be grand," the agent mumbled, "that would...a little girl and her dog, nothing better than this."
"Well, can I take Bolt home," Penny asked as she walked away towards photographers for Teen Wolf magazine.
"As your friend I say 'yes, absolutely', but as your agent I have to remind you that this is Bolt's world," the agent replied, "he has to stay here. Alright, let's go."
"But he's always here and only for a few days," Penny said.
"You know what," the agent cut her off like her opinion didn't matter, "it's a fair question. Let's do it, let's put a pin in it. Boop! Pin it. Please. Alright? Nice enough for everyone? Is he grinning around? Let's get out of here. C'mon."
"But, I don't need to think it through," Penny frowned, "I wanna take Bolt home with my old friends."
"Look at this face," the agent glanced down at her, "I have a little girl at home, love of my life. I would do anything for her, and I would trade her for you in a heartbeat. True story. That reminds me, we need to be getting over to wardrobe. Clip-clip, let's go."
Amber frowned that the agent threatened to replace Penny if she didn't do what was asked of her. After they left, the lights were turned off and two of the cats from the show were now making their road to Bolt's trailer.
Amber and Penny left with the agent and the photographers as it was late now.
"Well, the dog thinks this is all real," one cat asked the other.
"Oh, yes, you're new," the other replied. "The guy never leaves the set. This is unbelievable. Wherever I get the chance, this is the perfect fashion to relax," he jumped up to the top of the trailer.
Then the other cat jumped up next to him.
"I'm yet surprised you didn't want some of the food," Scruffy grinned.
"How can I eat if Penny is out there and she needs me," Bolt hunched down mournfully.
Scruffy came next to his hero with a grin. "C'mon, Bolt, it's really nice, and I wish Penny is fine...and she was adopted!"
Then there was a dark evil laugh that came to both of the dogs.
Bolt frowned and looked up to the cats who were causing it. "Hello, furballs."
Scruffy came to Bolt's side and started to growl at the cats looking down at them.
"You may have won today, Bolt, but in the end, we're going to get your little Penny," the scrawny black cat threatened, narrowing his yellow eyes at the white shepherd.
"Not likely, Cat, because you chose to go to the road of evil," Bolt frowned back while Scruffy growled like a loyal sidekick to the main hero, "ultimately, he will destroy you, along with your devilish puppet master!"
"Yes," Scruffy added in.
The cats leaned back slightly.
"Wow," the fluffier cat said.
"Yes, just watch," the black cat whispered back before frowning back down at the two dogs, leaning forward slightly, "she's a goner, Dog. The Green-Eyed Man has a plan, especially for that pathetic friend of hers with the bandana on his head, and soon, he's going to execute it."
"Yes," the fluffier cat chuckled hesitantly, trying to sound rough, "and then he's going to execute them!"
"That makes absolutely no sense," Scruffy warned him.
"Shows what you know, Fleabag Junior," the black cat scoffed.
"I was going to bark at you two back to the hole you came out of, but I need you alive because I have a little message for you to take back to your Green-Eyed Man," the white shepherd frowned at the felines with a smirk, "you let him know your old friend Bolt said he's best–"
"Is that all," the black cat asked, sounding impatient and annoyed.
"Uh, how long as it been," Bolt asked.
"Is that a long message," the black cat replied, "because I have a horrible memory."
"It should be long enough for your cat-sized brain to remember," Scruffy said.
"I'll be brief, alright," Bolt added, "you let him know I said------"
"You know what," the black cat stopped him again. "Why don't we do this," he suggested, looking to the fluffy cat next to him, "you remember the first half of the message, and then I remember the second, and then we can pass it on to the Green-Eyed Man together."
"We don't care how this is brought to the Green-Eyed Man, just give him the message," Scruffy barked.
"Thanks," Bolt said to Scruffy before turning back to the cats, "warn the Green-Eyed Man that we won't sleep, we won't rest until my Penny and her son are safe from your evil grasp."
"Hey, hey, hey," the black cat stopped the white shepherd. "Too many words. I was like, 'what?' And then I was like, 'why?' And then, well, I got a little bored and...something about claws? Anyhow, I'll do my best. Ciao," he turned and started to leave.
"Big fan by the way," the fluffy cat swiftly added. "Love it, love you, must go, thanks," he left with his fellow feline.
"We must go after them and teach them a lesson," Scruffy said.
"Get back here, you sick, revolting, disgusting little-----" Bolt barked frustratedly at the cats.
The black cat rolled his eyes as he got into his carrier with his buddy. "Dogs..."
"Cats..." Bolt shook his head as he went into a couple of circles before lying down on the floor, "I'll never let them get to you, Penny."
"I wish I could go with you on your next mission," Scruffy said.
"You're a nice boy....umm...I'm sorry, what was your name," Bolt asked.
"The name's Scruffy," the cocker spaniel Dalmatian puppy mix replied, "son of Patch and Colette."
"Nice to meet you," the shepherd grinned, "my name is Bolt."
"I know my place," Scruffy grinned back.
"You know," Bolt asked, "how?"
"You're the most famous dog out there..." Scruffy replied like it was obvious, which to him, it was.
"Oh, well, I guess that makes sense," Bolt grinned.
"This is the coolest fact in the world..." Scruffy grinned, but sighed, "I wish Jesse were here......I hope he's alright....."
Riley, Jesse, Lex and Tim watched as Penny was posing for Teen Wolf magazine.
"Why do I get this feeling that Scruffy is around," Jesse asked.
"Probably because you guys are best friends like Dad was with Patch," Lex assumed.
"Or Mum with Angel," Tim added.
"Yes, or...oh, this is so unfair, you guys have the best ones," Riley pouted.
"I just get the feeling he's close," Jesse said.
"He's probably...." Lex said, "if you feel him, he's probably around."
The director began to think about how he could make the show more emotional he even had the thought of including another dog or puppy to the show.
Penny took a small break and came to her friends. "Hey, guys, I'm sorry, it's been crazy lately......"
"It's alright, you're a star," Lex said, "but you look a little mournful."
"I want to take Bolt home for the weekend..." Penny sighed mournfully.
"And I wish you will," Riley grinned.
"You are grand..." Penny sighed with a small grin, "best friends?"
"Forever..." the cousins replied with grins, remembering that.
"I have an idea for our next episode," the director grinned.
"Sir," Amber looked to the director.
"Bring me the dark boy," the director demanded.
"Yes, sir," Jesse asked.
"Do you have a dog or a puppy," the director asked.
"I have a puppy that's growing up," Jesse replied, "his name's Scruffy, and he's a–––"
"Yes, yes, could I see him," the director asked.
"Um, I think you could...." Jesse said, "I just want to warn you, he's a brave and daring dog, but he gets hyperactive easily."
"Well, he's basically a teenage puppy," the director said.
"Getting there, he's yet growing, and I don't mean just in dog years," Jesse replied easily.
"Well, then, he'll have to do because he's going to be in our next episode," the director said.
"Oh, what an honor," Jesse grinned.
"Yes, and I already have the entire episode in my head," the director grinned back.
The others came over.
"What's going on," Tim asked.
"Scruffy's gonna be a star," Jesse smirked emotionally.
"That's awesome news, bro," Tim grinned.
Jesse grinned proudly. "Wait until I warn Dad."
"Along with Patch," Lex added with a grin.
"Of course," Jesse agreed.
After speaking for a while with the director, Jesse went to Bolt's trailer, having a feeling that Scruffy was in it.
Before going to the door, he poked his head in through the window. "Guh...I can't see...it's too dark."
Riley gently shoved him over, but squeezed her eyes shut and opened her eyes again as she activated her night vision and spotted the two dogs in the trailer. "He's there, Jesse."
"How did he even get here," Jesse asked.
"I dunno, he's your dog," Riley shrugged.
Penny came to the trailer as well and opened the door to let herself and Jesse in.
"Hey, Penny," Jesse said.
"Hey, Jesse," Penny replied.
As soon as they both came into the trailer, both of the older dog and puppy were emotional to see them.
"Hey, boy..." Penny knelt down in front of the white shepherd and cuddled with him.
"Hey there, boy," Jesse said, bending down to his dalmatian cocker spaniel mix breed puppy.
"Oh, I've missed you," Scruffy laughed and jumped up at his young master.
Jesse laughed as he ruffled up his fluffy fur. "Nice boy...hey, I have some emotional news."
"Ooh, what's the emotional news," Scruffy yipped, "c'mon, warn me, warn me, warn me, warn me!"
Jesse laughed, but sighed. "Oh, boy, I knew that would happen......any matter, guess who's gonna be a guest star with their favorite dog hero of all time?"
"No way! I'm gonna be a guest star on the show as well," Scruffy asked emotionally.
"Uh-huh," Jesse laughed.
"Oh, this is so cool," Scruffy ran around in total emotion, "this is the best day of my life! Ever! No exception! Nothing could possibly beat this! Oh, someone pinch me, I have to be dreaming!"
Then Jesse decided to grant his puppy's request.
"Yow," Scruffy whined.
"You're not dreaming," Jesse promised.
"Awesome, because I never wanna awaken," Scruffy laughed.
'I wonder what they're speaking about,' Bolt thought to himself.
"Jesse, did I ever warn you that you're the best pet owner ever," Scruffy asked.
"I'm your only pet owner," Jesse laughed.
"Yet my favorite," Scruffy hugged his master.
"You two must be the best of pals," Penny grinned.
Jesse laughed as Scruffy licked his face. "Yes, Scruff's the best."
"I can't wait for us to get started on the episode," Scruffy grinned.
"I understand, but right now you need to rest," Jesse advised.
Scruffy pouted. "But I'm not tired."
"The faster you go to sleep, the faster the day of the episode arrives," Jesse smiled.
"Oh, yes," Scruffy jumped up and down in emotion, "let's go to sleep then!"
'Knew that would do the trick,' Jesse thought to himself.
"Very active, isn't he," Penny asked about Jesse's puppy.
"Oh, yes," Jesse laughed, "he really takes after his Aunt Danielle and Uncle Scamp...with a hint of Aunt Cadpig."
"Wow," Penny said.
"Yes..." Jesse said.
"Big family, right," Penny asked.
"Oh, didn't you know," Jesse turned back, "Scruffy's dad was one of the 101 Dalmatians, you ever hear about that story?"
"Ohh, yes," Penny grinned.
"Well, this little guy is Patch's boy," Jesse said, "I kinda wish I could've been there...I heard Cruella DeVil's nephew tried to murder my dad if he was a baby."
"Oh, dear..." Penny frowned.
Jesse picked up Scruffy. "See ya at the shooting on Monday."
"Farewell," Penny nodded back.
Then Jesse went with Scruffy to meet Lex, Tim and Riley to stay at their hotel.
"Well, was he where you had a feeling he was," Tim asked.
"Yes, can't fight instincts...." Jesse said as he carried Scruffy in the room.
"I do wonder how he got here," Lex said, "perhaps by magic."
"It wouldn't surprise me......" Riley said as she now behaved more like a modern teenage girl and was reading a magazine.
"Well, we better get back to the hotel," Tim said.
"You think Scruffy will be allowed in," Lex asked as she walked with Riley to look in the magazine with her.
"Perhaps," Jesse shrugged as they walked into their hotel.
The concierge looked to the quad of children as they came inside. "Welcome back, children..."
"Hello," the children said.
The concierge raised an eyebrow. "No pets allowed in the building."
"We didn't mean to bring him, he just--" Jesse tried to explain.
"I'm afraid not," the concierge frowned, "I'll call the manager."
Riley smirked once she had an idea. "Ms. Greenwood might be very upset if you kick out her nephew's precious pet."
This caused for the concierge to freeze up. The four teens smirked darkly once they found out his weakness.
"Oh, and I have Aunt Darla's number on speed dial, all the road in Paris," Lex whipped out her cell phone.
"You wouldn't..." the concierge's eyes widened.
"Oh, but I would," Lex smirked.
"Your choice..." Tim added.
"Alright, the mutt can stay, just make sure he doesn't make a mess," the concierge gave in.
"Yes, sir," Jesse grinned.
With that said, the four children went up to their room.
"These children are going to be the death of me..." the concierge mumbled to himself.
"I do wonder how he's going to survive with us around," Lex said.
"Perhaps the same fashion Mr. Salamone did with cousin Eloise..." Tim shrugged, "then again, she lived in that hotel and we're only guests."
"That's true," Lex nodded.
Jesse placed Scruffy down on the floor as he made up the bed while getting his pajamas out. "Thank heavens, I didn't think he'd ever get to sleep..."
"Yes," Lex grinned.
Then Jesse got his pajamas on as he yawned a little. Then the phone rang.
"I'll get it," Riley ran over and used the telephone, "hello?"
"Oh, hello there, Riley," Annie's voice said, "I just wanted to see how you all were doing."
"Hang on, which one is the speaker button," Riley put the phone down for a second.
"It's the third button," Tim warned her.
"Oh...right..." Riley clicked the third button and placed it down on the nightstand as she went to get her pajamas on after bursting off her boots.
"Hey, children," Annie's voice beamed, "I'm sorry, I'd video chat with you all, but our Internet's down over here."
"That's alright, Mum," Lex grinned.
"Well, how was your all's day," Annie asked.
"Oh, Mum, you won't believe who's here," Jesse said as he buttoned up his top shirt.
"Let me guess, would it be Scruffy," Annie asked.
"Yes..." Jesse said, "I never brought him along because I know this hotel doesn't allow pets."
"He must have somehow sneaked along with you children," Annie said.
"Are Dot and Snow White missing," Tim asked.
"Yes, they are," Annie said.
"Alright, c'mon out," Lex called.
Tim and Lex's bags zipped open to show the white cat and the female cocker spaniel Dalmatian puppy with bows in her ears.
"How'd you know we were here," Dot asked.
"I had a hunch until Scruffy smuggled himself here..." Tim folded his arms with a smirk.
"That was the best nap of my life..." Snow White grinned in zen, "let's try it again sometime, shall we?"
"Sure, if we're not caught," Dot said.
"Foolish kitten and puppy..." Tim said.
Snow White jumped out of Tim's bag and stretched. "I haven't felt that relaxed since my last milk bath."
"And then you drank it all and fell asleep..." Tim rolled his eyes.
"Nice point," Snow White said.
"I swear, Tim, all your cat does is sleep," Annie laughed.
"It's not possible," Snow White frowned.
The others glanced at her.
"I don't..." Snow White defended.
"Uh-huh, sure..." Dot rolled her eyes.
"Well, Jesse, how did filming go today," Annie asked over the line.
"Ah, Moum, you and Dad should've been there," Jesse grew animated, "it was so grand! But...they wanna make some changes in the show, a woman from the network came over."
"Oh, dear, that doesn't sound nice," Annie said.
"On the bright side, Scruffy's gonna be with me," Jesse said.
"That's grand news," Annie grinned.
"Yes," Jesse silently cheered.
"I bet he's emotional," Annie said with a small chuckle.
"He is," Jesse grinned.
"That pup was always wound up so easily..." Annie said.
"Yes," Lex nodded.
"How's home, Annie Greenwood," Riley asked.
"It's fine over here, just miss you children," Annie said.
"And we miss you as well, Mum," Tim grinned.
"Oh, Lex, before I forget, Randolph called earlier......" Annie started.
Lex's blue eyes widened as she turned beet red slightly. "Uh...thanks, Mum, no need to say anymore!"
"He just wanted to say that he misses you and he'd like you to call sometime..." Annie continued anyhow, "oh, my baby girl and her own boyfriend, it's so adorable......"
"Randolph," Riley asked.
"Her boyfriend," Jesse teased.
"Hey," Lex whined.
"Well, that's true," Tim defended their brother.
"Randolph and Lex," Dot laughed, "Randolph and Lex!"
"Then what if I do have a boyfriend," Lex asked.
"It's just fun to mess with ya," Jesse smirked.
"Why, you," Lex frowned, but tackled her brother down to the floor and started to fight with him.
"Give up, I'm just gonna win," Jesse laughed at her.
"That's true," Tim said.
"Are you crazy children fighting again," Annie sighed, "what just happened to you, Jesse and Lex? You used to be best friends!"
"We yet are, Mum," Jesse and Lex warned her, "jinx!"
"There you go," Riley chuckled.
"Then that is," Annie sounded amused.
"Yes, they may get into fights once in a while, but they'll always be best friends and brother and sister," Tim grinned.
"I never fought with my brother..." Annie defended, "and your father never fought with your Auntie Shrew or Aunt Darla."
"Never," Jesse asked.
"Did Dad ever get into a fight with anyone that wasn't his enemy," Lex asked. "Other then Rae Linsley one time," she added.
"Uhh..." Annie hesitated.
"Mum..." the Greenwood siblings asked.
"Erm...well..." Annie yet paused.
"Annie Greenwood," Riley asked.
"Well, you see, children, your father did get into fights with Patch once in a while, but only if they were in their teens, but it all started after Patch had came back and was able to stay on Earth like he is now," Annie said.
"Wait, back on Earth," Tim asked.
"What are you speaking about, Mum," Lex added.
Annie began to warn them the entire story since Patch had went to Heaven and went back on Earth and that he was allowed to stay on earth. The children listened, both attentively and in shock that their father got in a fight with one of his very best friends. And where they were even more surprised that he would get in fights with Patch once in a while, but yet be able to be friends, showing how strong their friendship was.
"Wow, Mum..." Tim said.
"I know..." Annie understood their reactions to the story, she felt the same fashion until it had happened.
"We never knew," Jesse said.
"Your father can get pretty frustrated if he wants to..." Annie warned her children and niece, "any matter, I won't keep you long, Jesse, warn Scruffy I said farewell about being on TV with Bolt."
"Thanks, Mum, I will," Jesse grinned.
"And he would say thanks, but he's a little preoccupied," Lex said.
"At least he's not chasing me this time..." Snow White mumbled to herself, "silly dog."
Scruffy seemed to catch Snow White's scent as his eyes opened up.
"Oh, dear..." Dot noticed.
Scruffy smirked to the fluffy white cat and started to chase her.
Snow White mewed as she ran from him. "Knock it off, you Scruff Ball!"
"Never," Scruffy yipped.
"Oh, why must I be cursed to be chased by that mongrel," Snow White moaned as she ran from Scruffy like she seemed to on an infrequent basis.
"Don't know, he just likes chasing you," Jesse shrugged.
"Ugh," Snow White moaned.
Dot chuckled a little to the chase. "Chase, Chase, Chase!!!"
"I'm gonna murder you both some day..." Snow White frowned at the puppies she was forced to live with.
"Yes, sir, whatever," Dot chuckled.
The siblings rolled their eyes and shook their heads. Then the four teens got ready for bed, Lex and Riley went to their space while Jesse and Tim went their own space. They all said good night to each other and were ready to sleep. Scruffy was eventually able to give Snow White a break as they also had to get some sleep, as well as Dot. Snow White shook her head at the puppies and went to her own space.
Scruffy and Dot sat close to Jesse and Lex as it was late and they all needed a good night's sleep. Snow White, of course, slept with Tim. Riley sighed as she looked to her cousins with their own pets, but she curled up in her bed and went straight to sleep. Soon after they went to sleep, Scruffy seemed to now have a vision.
The puppy started to run in his sleep and then awakened in the world of visions.
"Where am I," Scruffy wondered, "this isn't a rabbit field..."
He saw that he was with Bolt and they were in a city where Bolt was interrogating a black cat.
"Cat," Scruffy smirked eagerly. "Chase, chase, CHASE," he ran to chase the cat.
But for some reason, he wasn't chasing her as a cage seemed to have gotten in the road.
"Heeeey," Scruffy pouted.
Bolt seemed very menacing with the cat, possibly due to believing that cats were evil since they associated with Dr. Calico.
Scruffy seemed to feel like this cat he wasn't noticing at wasn't part of the crew. "What's going on," the puppy pouted.
'Scruffy, please focus..." a voice educated the puppy.
"Who said that," Scruffy asked.
'I'm your conscience....' the voice said.
Scruffy rolled his eyes. "Very funny, Dot..."
'No, that is not Dot....' the voice said, a female wolf-dog with sapphire blue eyes walked up to the cocker spaniel Dalmatian puppy mix breed.
Scruffy narrowed his eyes. "I think Jesse warned me about you...Aleu?"
"Uh-huh..." the wolf-dog nodded, "I'll be your guiding spirit."
"Spirit guide," Scruffy asked, "well, are you here to teach me something?"
"You could warn..." Aleu said as she sat in front of him, "it seems you have your adventure waiting for you."
"My adventure," Scruffy looked emotional. "Aw, darling," he looked curious of the black cat that was with his dog hero, "uh, who's that cat?"
"You and Bolt will find out..." Aleu smirked.
"Aw! Can't you at least warn me about her name," Scruffy asked.
"She will be known as 'Mittens'," Aleu said.
"Mittens," Scruffy asked before snorting and laughing, "that's a silly name!"
"Says Scruffy..." Aleu muttered softly.
"Touchy," Scruffy smirked.
Aleu lightly chuckled. "Foolish puppy."
"I am who I am," Scruffy shrugged.
"Then it's you..." Aleu said.
"Well, warn me, will I be on this new adventure with Jesse," Scruffy asked hopefully.
"No, I'm afraid not," Aleu said hopefully.
"No," Scruffy pouted.
"You'll be with him for filming the show with Penny and Bolt, but I'm afraid you'll have to make this trip alone," Aleu said, "I'm sorry, Scruffy."
"Well...my own adventure....." Scruffy said softly, "like Daddy meets Thunderbolt in London?"
"More like it until he first met Lucky and the Pound Puppies," Aleu said.
"Yes, I guess it could be....." Scruffy shrugged, "I do wonder what Bolt is doing with a black cat..."
"You'll find out," Aleu promised before muttering softly, "after meeting a hamster."
"How about a hamster," Scruffy tilted his head, overhearing that last tidbit.
"You'll find out," Aleu said.
"Aw, warn me now..." Scruffy pouted.
"Nice facts come to these waiting..." Aleu advised, "wait until you are like me and become a wise leader of your pack someday."
"Sure," Scruffy grinned.
Aleu grinned back.
"Is that what just happened to you," Scruffy asked.
"You could warn," Aleu warned, "your owner's sister helped me in my personal quest to find out who I am."
"That was nice of Lex," Scruffy grinned.
"Oh, yes, very much," Aleu grinned, "farewell on your journey, Scruffy, I know you'll do what you know is right."
"Alright," Scruffy grinned.
"Nice boy," Aleu patted the puppy on the head.
Scruffy chuckled. "You're cute~..."
"Huh..." Aleu had a small smirk, "thank you."
"Well, how do I know I'm awakening," Scruffy asked.
"Oh, you know...right...about..." Aleu started.
"Oh, dear, oh, dear, please, not yet," Scruffy begged.
"Got you now," Aleu chuckled.
"Huh..." Scruffy glanced at her, "wolf-dogs..."
"Mix the puppies...." Aleu smirked back.
"Well, fine, then I guess that makes us even," Scruffy smirked, "I just hope he has some action in my adventure."
"Oh, it will," Aleu promised, "trust me."
"Yes," Scruffy cheered.
"Nice dog," Aleu chuckled.
"I can't believe I'm meeting you..." Scruffy said, "Balto's daughter...."
"Oh, you better believe it," Aleu grinned.
"That's unbelievable......" Scruffy grinned and wagged his tail in emotion, "I just met Bolt and now I'm meeting Balto's daughter, this is the best day of my life!"
"I thought this might turn you on," Aleu chuckled.
"I was born emotional..." Scruffy smirked, "Mum and Dad say I'm like Uncle Scamp, Aunt Danielle and Aunt Cadpig!"
"I can warn why they say so," Aleu grinned.
Scruffy laughed as he ran around, hyperactively.
"Alright, calm down..." Aleu narrowed her eyes, getting slightly annoyed.
"I'm sorry," Scruffy said as he stopped.
Aleu rolled her eyes with a small grin. "Puppies..."
Scruffy chuckled sheepishly.
"Now, it's time to–––" Aleu was about to say.
"Not yet," Scruffy whined, "it's too funny!"
"Scruffy, time to wake up," Jesse's voice said.
"NoooooOOOO," Scruffy whined.
"Ye-ee-ee-es," Aleu smirked.
"I hate you," Scruffy narrowed his eyes.
Aleu smirked with a silent chuckle.
Scruffy moaned and shuffled in his sleeping spot as his young master tried to awaken.
"Looks like we'll have to awaken him with the one fact he loves most of all to do," Tim said.
"You know what that means....." Lex added.
"Uh-huh," Riley nodded once.
Dot and Snow White were awake and all eyes were on the white cat.
Snow White looked over, but saw they were all looking at her, but got frustrated. "Uh-uh, no way!"
"I'll give you an extra can of tuna," Tim tempted the white cat.
"Huh...tuna~..." Snow White smirked, but sighed, "oh, very well."
Scruffy snored as he tried to get back to sleep, refusing to awaken. Then Snow White stretched next to the puppy and tickled her fluffy and bushy tail at the tip of his nose.
And which caused him to catch the scent of the white cat. "Cat," he smirked.
Snow White moaned as she started to run.
"Chase, chase, CHASE," Scruffy smirked as he chased the white cat.
"Now I've got you," Jesse said as he caught his puppy.
"Aww..." Scruffy moaned, "but I wanna stay in bed..."
"And miss your day," Jesse asked, "you're gonna be on set with Penny and Bolt!"
"Oh, yes..." Scruffy grinned, but smirked down to his sister and cat 'friend', "ya hear that, guys? I'm gonna be on TV!"
"Happy for you," Dot grinned.
Snow White shivered heavily from the running she had, but frowned at the male puppy. "I hope you chew on a bone and choke on it."
"Yes, sure," Scruffy smirked.
Snow White growled in his face.
"Alright, you two, break it up," Jesse warned the two.
Then Scruffy and Snow White broke up, but mumbled.
"C'mon, boy, let's get you some breakfast and ready to go," Jesse grinned at his puppy.
"You have it," Scruffy grinned.
Jesse smiled. "That's the ticket!"
"This day is going to be so emotional," Scruffy grinned.
The children got dressed, except for Jesse, he was giving Scruffy his breakfast and then he would get dressed.
"This is so emotional," Scruffy grinned as he ate.
"Just remember to breathe, buddy," Jesse chuckled as he got in his day clothes.
"I'll remember," Scruffy rolled his eyes.
Jesse laughed as he got set up. "There we go."
"Break an arm," Riley warned her cousin.
"In fact, the correct phrase is 'break a leg'," Lex said.
"Why would I want Jesse to break his leg," Riley asked with a slight wince.
"It's just an expression," Tim said.
"Oh..." Riley bowed her head, but sighed, "English, you're a very cruel and confusing mistress as much as my mother is to my father."
"You'll get used to it," Jesse said.
"How can Daddy stand it," Riley hit her forehead with a chuckle.
"Who knows," Lex shrugged.
Jesse waited for Scruffy to finish his food. "Going on TV again."
"You have a TV show, jocko," Tim said playfully.
"Perhaps," Jesse shrugged.
Scruffy finished his food. "Done!"
"Sure," Jesse grinned.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go," Scruffy ran around in a circle.
"OK, that's it," Jesse laughed.
"C'mon, c'mon, C'MON," Scruffy jumped up and down at the door.
"OK, that's it, I'm a-coming," Jesse said.
"Good riddance," Snow White mumbled as she came onto Tim's bed and curled up into a fluff ball.
"Behave otherwise you'll not get your tuna," Tim said.
"Erm...yes, Tim," Snow White replied respectively to her master.
"Nice girl," Tim said, petting her.
Snow White gently purred from the petting. "Oh, don't stop..."
Tim continued to pet her, knowing that pleased her very much. Snow White gently purred and at last fell asleep.
"She fell asleep," Tim said.
"Are you really surprised," Riley deadpanned, knowing how the cat was most of the time.
"I know she sleeps off most days, but this is the first time she's fallen asleep after getting up," Tim said.
"Your cat is weird...." Riley rolled her eyes with a smirk.
"You try to have a pet," Tim replied.
"I would, but I think my mother hates animals..." Riley said.
"I'm sure that's not true," Lex said.
"Mum always slaughters wild animals for our meals..." Riley pouted.
Scruffy, Dot and Snow White flinched suddenly. Riley shrugged.
"Hopefully, she doesn't do it to pet animals too," Snow White said.
"I'm not sure, but Master Adam's dog is yet there..." Riley shrugged again, "Dad doesn't seem to like him that much, but he knows how to keep him silent while in the middle of a sonata."
"Cool," Scruffy grinned.
"Don't quarrel with Mum or Dad..." Riley warned as they were on their road out to get to the TV set for Jesse and Scruffy's big break, "they'll end you."
"Nice to know," Scruffy said.
"I'm going to admit this," Dot grinned to Scruffy, "I'm proud of you."
"Thanks, Sis," Scruffy grinned back.
"You may not be that foolish after all that Aunt Annette says..." Dot smirked.
"Hey, I can be a villain wherever I want," Scruffy said.
"You said it, not me," Dot smirked.
"Dot, don't tease your brother," Lex warned like a surrogate mother.
"Yes, Lex..." Dot replied respectively like an obedient daughter.
"Nice girl," Lex grinned, petting her pet.
Dot grinned back and gently nuzzled against her.
"You really want to be a mother, right," Jesse asked his sister.
"Yes, I really do...." Lex sighed, "I hope I can someday."
"I'm sure you will," Jesse said.
Lex grinned fondly. "Someday..."
"And you can warn your children how amazing their Jesse Greenwood is..." Jesse smugly smirked as he flexed one arm.
"Oh, boy..." Lex rolled her eyes.
"And you can warn them about how their dad got so strong as well," Tim smirked.
Lex rolled her eyes again, but had a small grin once she thought of the 'boy of her dreams' back home.
Then the four teens made it to the set. Amber grinned to them as she was helping Penny with her makeup.
"I'm so emotional," Scruffy grinned.
"Hey, Penny," Jesse put his hand up.
"Hey, Jesse," Penny said swiftly since her mother was putting her makeup on.
"I do wonder if Bolt is as emotional as I am," Scruffy grinned.
"Where's Bolt," Jesse sat next to Penny.
"To rest a bit before we start," Penny replied, "he was really paranoid last night, he always thought the bad guys would come and get me."
"How long will he stay here," Jesse asked.
"He had to stay all night......" Penny frowned, "I really wanted to take him home, but Dad's agent said no."
"I mean, ever since he was a puppy, how long does he stay here," Jesse said.
Penny frowned.
"Very far, right," Jesse asked.
"Dad's agent existed......" Penny sighed, but puckered her lips as Amber now applied lipstick.
"The guy has to care if Bolt has a normal life or not," Jesse said, referring to the agent.
Lex, Tim and Riley nodded in agreement.
"Remember your lines," Amber asked her daughter.
"Always," Penny grinned to her mother.
"Same here," Jesse said.
"Sure, you're both twenty," Amber warned them.
"Certainly," Jesse grinned, "but just for a moment."
Scruffy was of course, very, very, very emotional and was eager to go with Bolt and get started. He was also thinking about his dream and wondering what Aleu meant about the adventure and how it would be real and not just like on TV.
"Scruffy, why don't you go and visit Bolt," Jesse asked.
"Alright," Scruffy laughed and ran away to meet the white shepherd.
"Bolt will surely be surprised," Jesse said.
"I'll say," Lex chuckled.
"Yes," Penny added.
Scruffy sniffed as he wandered around for Bolt. He continued to sniff around until he eventually caught Bolt's scent. "There you are!"
Bolt was gently lapping up water in his saucer as he kept a close eye in Penny's direction.
"Hi, Bolt," Scruffy yipped.
Bolt jumped slightly and jumped the other road to face him.
Scruffy laughed. "You ready today?"
"I guess so," Timon shrugged.
"Aren't you emotional," Scruffy grinned, "today we get to do this together, this will be the first time I do this."
"Uh, yes, emotional...." Bolt shrugged, but looked firmly serious, "just stay close to me, I'd hate to see Dr. Calico try something with you."
"You see, but to warn you the truth, I'm super strong," Scruffy said.
"Well, so am I..." Bolt said, "I've been changed by Penny's father."
"I know," Scruffy said.
"Have you seen any suspicious characters around," Bolt narrowed his eyes, ready to fight wherever absolutely necessary.
"Uh, no," Scruffy shrugged as he scratched behind his ear, "I think we're safe."
"Well, then my work here is ready for now..." Bolt grinned, proud of himself.
"Yes, and by the way, I wasn't changed, I was born with my strength from my dad," Scruffy grinned.
"I dare see..." Bolt replied like he didn't believe the puppy for a moment.
"You don't believe me," Scruffy pouted slightly.
"Lift up the trailer and I'll believe you," Bolt said.
"Alright," Scruffy smirked and rushed over to the trailer to display, "get your eyes on this!"
"OK, that's it, I'm a-coming," Bolt said before rushing out of the trailer to see if this pup was warning the truth.
Scruffy smirked as he put himself underneath the trailer. "And a-one and a-two, and a-three," he groaned slightly as he used all his strength to lift up the trailer, inheriting Patch's strength which he had earned as a puppy.
And where Bolt was impressed as the trailer was lifted off the ground.
"How are you," Scruffy asked with a smirk as he lifted the trailer up in the air.
"This is incredible," Bolt grinned.
"Thank you, thank you all, you're too kind," Scruffy chuckled before gently setting the trailer back down on the ground.
"Your dad must be very proud of you," Tim grinned.
"Yes..." Scruffy sighed, "I wish he was here right now..."
"Then where is he," Bolt asked, curiously.
"He's out on a Pound Puppies mission," Scruffy frowned.
"Aww..." Bolt frowned back, "I'm sorry."
Scruffy sighed. "It's alright...I just sometimes wish Dad was with more...Mum's fine, but I need my dad."
"I do see..." Bolt said, "at least you have your parents...I don't even remember my parents."
"Just like Oliver," Scruffy said.
"I'm sorry," Bolt glanced back at the puppy.
"Oliver, he's a cat who now belongs to a nice girl named Jenny Foxworth," Scruffy said, "and unlike the two cats here, he's really nice."
"Nice cat..." Bolt sounded dubious.
"Well, you see––" Scruffy was about to warn the story, but it was time.
"Time to start," the director called.
"C'mon, guys," Penny warned the dogs as she rushed with Jesse.
"Mission Time..." Bolt said, thinking his TV life was his real life.
"Yes, of course that is, and this will be the first time I do it," Scruffy said.
"Get ready," Bolt nodded.
A while later, Jesse, Bolt, Scruffy and Penny were running in a dark jungle. As they ran, the camera men stayed hidden behind the plants to catch their footage as they were on a 'mission'.
'Alright, Scruffy, time to get serious while the camera is rolling,' Scruffy thought to himself.
Everybody looked determined as they ran through the deep and dark jungle. They hid behind a tree as they saw a van.
"Are you ready, Bolt," Penny asked her dog.
Bolt growled lowly as a door opened up for the van to come through.
"You ready, buddy," Jesse asked his puppy.
Scruffy growled lowly as well.
"Nice boy," Jesse gently patted Scruffy on the head.
Then the four moved out and got underneath the van to hide for cover as the van was about to drive inside the building it was set to drive into.
'And in we go,' Scruffy thought to himself.
Scruffy and Bolt were in through a vent together with cold iron bars in the road.
"Would you like to do the honors, Bolt," Scruffy asked.
"Allow me..." Bolt nodded, but he pushed his paws out to the bars and bent them open with ease and crawled out with his fellow dog.
Scruffy came out and Penny and Jesse followed after them. Jesse gestured one road and they swiftly walked over to one side, but they stopped as there were guards in place.
"Guards," Scruffy whispered, "wow, this is not an easy mission."
"The Calico Supercomputer..." Penny looked ahead. "If we can access it, we'll finally learn where they're keeping my father."
"Yes, but first, we'll have to take care of the guards," Jesse whispered.
"I know what to do....." Penny said as she did a signal to Bolt and she flicked out the coin that she shared a name with and rolled it out while Bolt and Scruffy went away one road together and the coin rolled out to the middle of the floor as a guard was walking side-by-side just then.
The guard bent down and picked up the coin, since he found a penny on the ground, he considered this to be his lucky day. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't, as Bolt and Scruffy attacked the guards. The other guards were being beaten up by the dogs and were knocked off-screen. The guard put the penny in his pocket and frowned to the two dogs, showing his weapon to shoot them.
"Bolt, stare," Penny whispered louder to her pet.
Bolt did so, staring right at the guard's weapon. This made the weapon break and drop out of the guard's hand. Then Bolt growled and lunged for the guard, attacking him instantly. Scruffy was upset that he didn't get to attack the guard, but was alright with that since Bolt has had more experience with this than him. Then the dogs and human teens went over to where the supercomputer was as there was a guard with his back turned, getting straight to work.
"Mind if I knock this guy out," Scruffy asked.
"Be my guest," Bolt allowed, if Scruffy could, which he was sure that he could.
Scruffy grinned before looking determined again before going up behind the guard where he could knock him out. The guard continued to work, blissfully unaware at what was going on behind him. Then Scruffy smirked and struck his paw against the guard's neck, which knocked him out instantly.
"Nice move," Jesse smirked to his puppy as Penny came into the chair and went to work on the computer.
"Thanks," Scruffy smiled.
"See anything yet, Penny," Jesse asked.
"C'mon...c'mon..." Penny mumbled as she worked her best on the computer.
"This seems to be going rather well, nothing could possibly go wrong now," Scruffy grinned.
However, as he said that, everything instantly faded to black. The roof opened up to show the bright and gleaming sun.
"Such devotion," Dr. Calico mocked, "it brings tears to my eyes."
"Calico," Jesse frowned.
"Your father's discoveries could be of great use to our organization," Dr. Calico grinned darkly as he lowered a crane to capture the auburn girl, "I'm sure he'll be more accommodating now that I've had his lucky Penny!"
"Penny, watch out," Jesse called out as he tried to get her out of the road, only to get captured along with her.
Penny and Jesse were both caught suddenly.
"Ooh, a bonus hostage," Dr. Calico laughed wickedly.
"Bolt," Penny yelped for her dog.
"Scruffy," Jesse also yelped for his dog.
Both teens were carried away by the bad guy, looking like he had won this round against nice and evil.
"World domination is within my grasp," Dr. Calico laughed as he rode away with Penny and Jesse, who growled in frustration before shouting out an enraged "STEELE!!"
This yell was so loud that it echoed across the animal shelter. Bolt and Scruffy both barked, willing to save their owners, even though one of them already knew this was just for the next episode. Bolt growled, but got ready to jump up, but a man came up behind him and picked him up while he was in mid-air and carried him away to his carrying cage. Scruffy looked worried for his friend as he went to go and make sure that Bolt was alright.
"Let me out," Bolt demanded, "I have to save Penny!"
The director was watching with the woman from the network as Jesse's siblings and cousin were watching and hiding in like they were before.
"Bolt, please, calm down," Scruffy warned his friend.
"How can I calm down if they had Penny," Bolt sounded hysterical.
"We'll save them, I promise," Scruffy assured him, even though he knew what just happened was only an act.
"I can't stay in here, Scruffy..." Bolt said in determination.
"Just stay calm until you're let out of the pet carrier," Scruffy warned him.
"I can't rest with Dr. Calico having Penny..." Bolt said, "he even has Jesse!"
"We will rescue them, I promise," Scruffy warned him before already knowing what he had to do so, hearing the frustrated green-eyed man shout his name.
Jesse and Penny rushed out as Bolt and Scruffy were locked off. Then the guards stood in front of the two acting teens to keep them from going any further.
"Listen to him," Penny warned the actors, referring to her dog, knowing how he was probably reacting right now, "he needs to know I'm alright."
"She's right, then get out of the road before I make you both get out of the road," Jesse said to the guards.
"No, you're not alright, neither of you are....." the agent came behind the teen actors, "you've both been taken by the fiendish Dr. Calico, at least...that's what the dog needs to think...but, just imagine, close your eyes and imagine how emotional he'll be until he saves you tomorrow."
"But, he's gonna be freaking out all night..." Penny retorted, "please, just let us..."
"Bolt needs to know that Penny is alright," Jesse said.
"What...? Wait a second...." the agent stopped, looking like he just noticed something and reached behind Jesse's ear, "what's that behind your ear? Is that a...yes, that is..."
"A pin," Jesse saw what it was.
"Yes, a pin," the agent grinned before getting bitter, "let's take the pin and put it in this conversation. Boop!"
'This guy is working my last nerve,' Jesse thought to himself.
"And we will not take it down, no, ma'am, no, sir, until this matter is resolved," the agent continued.
Penny and Jesse frowned to him.
"You know what this reminds me of," the agent prompted, "the DVD release junket. Let's get going. It's a big push."
"Oh, boy," Jesse moaned.
Then a swarm of people came in for Jesse and Penny.
"I want to go with a modern look," a man said as he came behind Penny to walk away with her, "something that says, 'I'm thirteen, and I'm fine with that'."
'Why do I have a bad feeling that Bolt is not going to stay in one place,' Jesse thought to himself.
"Come here, boy," the agent came to Jesse, "some pretty ladies want your autograph."
Jesse rolled his eyes as he was warned that he was fawned over by girls, he was glad to have some fans, but wasn't going to be an attention hog or anything like that, besides, only one girl had stolen his heart since he was seven-years-old and she yet had it today; the one and only Pokemon Princess, Emi Ketchum. Amber mournfully followed, knowing that her daughter didn't let this.
The man had placed Bolt inside of the trailer and he opened it to let Bolt out. And where Bolt was yet trying to get out of the pet carrier. Once the door opened, Bolt ran out and snarled to the man, looking like he wanted to murder him for 'trapping him'.
"Bolt! Faster, find a road out," Scruffy warned him from outside the trailer.
"Scruffy," Bolt paused for a moment.
The two cats from before were on top of the trailer roof again. Scruffy looked up and growled at the cats, willing to punish them and chase them.
"I've been working on my evil laugh," the fluffier cat warned the skinny black cat. "Because everyone has an evil laugh..." he started to display, "like that."
Scruffy was going to frighten them, but thought they could be useful.
"Alright, here's the fact," the skinny black cat warned his fluffy associate. "You're not ready for the evil laugh. You could do a chuckle, like a mildly upset chuckle, after my evil laugh. Listen to mine...." he opened the roof top with a small dark chuckle, "hey, Bolt!"
Bolt growled and looked up, but ran past the human and came over the roof and the cats yelled out in fear and surprise of the incoming white dog.
"Big fan," the fluffy cat yipped hesitantly.
Bolt ran out of the trailer. "C'mon, Scruffy, we have to save Jesse and Penny!"
"Lead the road," Scruffy warned him.
"Bolt, get back here," the man inside the trailer called.
Bolt ignored his calls and ran with Scruffy back to the TV Set and came into one room, but it was all dark and he believed it was true and that his worst fears had been realized. "I'm too late."
"What now," Scruffy asked.
'Bolt, help,' Penny's voice yelled out.
"Penny," Bolt called back, then but to the source of the voice, "we're coming, Penny!"
Then Scruffy followed Bolt to save their owners. They looked all around for Jesse, Penny, or both, but so far had no such luck.
Bolt looked to a window that had a familiar logo on it on the back of a vehicle. "Penny," he ran to the window and tried to bust through it, but for some reason, he couldn't like he always could before.
"Ooh, that's gonna leave a mark," Scruffy winced before going to see if his friend was alright.
Bolt lightly moaned and fell backwards into a box against packing peanuts in a daze.
"Bolt," Scruffy asked in worry, but he heard someone coming and jumped into the box to hide with the white shepherd.
A man walked into the room and started to hold down the box and tape it shut.
"Oh, this could be bad," Scruffy whispered.
Then the man walked away with the box to load it up, not hearing Scruffy since he had headphones on.
"Bolt," a woman's voice called, "here, Bolt!"
The box was locked up with a few other boxes and the door was closed as Scruffy and Bolt were going to be placed somewhere else.
"I have a feeling this is the start of my adventure," Scruffy grinned.
Bolt mumbled, yet in a bit of a daze.
Scruffy sighed softly. "Poor old man."
They were being taken away from Hollywood and taken to someplace far off. A different man loaded the boxes up onto a dolly and walked away with it, placing the boxes down.
Sure enough, Bolt regained consciousness and tried to jump out of the box with Scruffy once they were down. And where due to Scruffy's strength, the two were able to jump out of the box while it was closed. The man who loaded the boxes up backed off in fear and alarm.
"Where are we," Scruffy asked.
"Hey, wait," the man yelped.
Then Bolt and Scruffy ran out of the box and went to look for wherever Jesse or Penny could possibly be. They ran up one box to an open window and ended up in the dumpster once they escaped.
"Where did that box send us," Scruffy asked.
"Uh...wherever we are, we should get out," Bolt replied.
"I agree," Scruffy nodded.
They emerged from the complete and disgusting trash bags and rushed out into the alley where they were inside of. There were passing cars, which made them stop instantly.
"Alright, Bolty, be cool," Bolt warned himself as he saw the passing cars. "You're cool, Bolty..." he ran down one road.
Scruffy followed as they passed street signs. Then he stopped and backed off and looked up to a sign and tried to read it as it said "New York".
"NEW YORK," Scruffy panicked, "HOW DID WE GET TO NEW YORK?!"
"Scruffy, do you see what I see," Bolt asked.
"What," Bolt turned his head, but came to the slightly older dog's side, "what is this?"
"Look how lucky you are," Bolt smirked darkly as he looked over to a gate as a man was on the other side, "Green Eyes."
"Wow," Scruffy grinned.
"Let's go get him," Bolt smirked in determination. "This is to pick up Jesse and Penny," he dashed away to the gate to cut through it.
"Uh, Bolt, I don't think it'll be......" Scruffy said before wincing at the pain Bolt was going to feel.
Bolt hit against the gate and bounced back, not able to break through it. Then he got up and shook his head.
"You alright," Scruffy asked hesitantly.
"Yes, I think so," Bolt said, "I do wonder why I didn't break it."
"Bolt, you should know something....." Scruffy tried.
"Look, there's a road," Bolt looked to a gaping hole in the gate and ran through it instead.
Scruffy sighed and followed after him. "It won't be easy."
Bolt came behind the man he believed was Dr. Calico and tried to strike his paw against the man's neck to knock him out, but for some reason, it didn't work. The man felt a slight disturbance as he read his magazine, but was yet standing silent.
Bolt came behind the man and looked to him, sniffing him. "Hey, you're not Dr. Calico..." he whined slightly.
"Bolt, listen, I have something to warn you about," Scruffy said.
"We'll have plenty of time to speak if Jesse and Penny are safe again, c'mon now," Bolt replied and ran down the street, passing people.
"That dog won't slow down for a second," Scruffy moaned.
"Penny," Bolt barked as he zipped around down the street. "PENNY," he saw a construction site coming up and jumped up in the air to dodge it.
"Bolt, no," Scruffy yelped once he stopped dead in his tracks.
Bolt jumped, believing he could jump right over it, but he landed flat in the middle, which made Scruffy flinch and wince once again for the other dog's pain.
"Bolt, you alright," Scruffy asked.
"Yes, I'm alright," Bolt said.
Scruffy got the cone away from Bolt's face.
"THERE," Bolt spotted what he thought was Dr. Calico's logo and ran after it.
Scruffy sighed. "And they say that I'm restless," he rushed after Bolt. He had to stop Bolt before he hurt himself dearly. Bolt kept running as Scruffy was coming right up behind him.
"Bolt! Listen to me," Scruffy yelped as he ran.
Bolt wasn't listening as he began to try to get to the front of the vehicle he was trying to stop.
"HOLY SMOKES," Scruffy lamented at this, but tried to save Bolt before he could get run over.
"This ends here," Bolt said determined before being ready to stop the truck.
"Oh, dear..." Scruffy lowly moaned.
The white shepherd was going to get himself murdered, but Scruffy wasn't going to let that happen. Scruffy tried to run to stop the vehicle, but it saw Bolt and stopped instantly and swerved slightly.
Bolt wanted to butt his head against the truck, but he saw the container was coming down and opened, which made his tail wag in emotion. "Penny," he looked inside of it, revealing it was a portable toilet and didn't see his owner. "Penny," he narrowed his eyes once he had an idea at what just happened. "They've moved her. C'mon, Scruffy," he ran away again.
"Bolt, slow down," Scruffy barked before running after him.
Bolt kept running as fast as his legs could carry and barked out Penny's name along the road. Scruffy kept on running until he eventually caught up with the white shepherd.
Bolt came up to a woman who had three different dogs with her. "There's no time for formalities, my friend's and mine's people are in danger, and we––"
A dog came up behind Bolt and started to sniff him.
"Woah, what are you doing here," Bolt jumped at him in slight alarm.
"Oh, I'm sorry," the dog replied, but turned himself around, "do you want to sniff me first?"
"What," Bolt looked at the other dog like he was crazy.
"You're not from here, are you," the other dog asked as she also sniffed the white shepherd.
"You're right," Scruffy said.
"Hey, stop this," Bolt frowned at the other dogs for sniffing his behind, "this is serious!"
Then the woman bent down and latched a leash onto Bolt and Scruffy's collars. "Hey, there...are you lost, darlings?"
"This is a trap, c'mon, Scruffy," Bolt warned the puppy as he ran away with the leash around his collar.
"I'm sorry, boy, but we have to go," Scruffy said to the human girl.
With that said, Scruffy and Bolt dashed away again, ditching the other dogs and the human.
They ran into newspapers and didn't stop until they would find Jesse or Penny, but little did Bolt know, they would never find their humans around here. Dodger and the other dogs were going around, except for Tito, he was not there right now.
"Alright, whatcha guys yet want today," Dodger asked.
"Wait, stop," Rita said.
Then they all stopped and looked to see Bolt and Scruffy running around the city.
'If only I could stop Bolt and warn him that the truth about the life he's been living isn't real,' Scruffy thought to himself.
Bolt kept running and ended up getting his head stuck through an iron gate.
"That'll work..." Scruffy shrugged to the fourth wall and ran after the American white shepherd.
Dodger and the other dogs walked over, deciding to go and meet the new dogs in town.
"Um...you're stuck," Scruffy asked, finding this the perfect moment to warn him.
"Looks like a trap...." Bolt mumbled, but tried to get free, but found that he couldn't do it, "why can't I bend these foolish bars?!"
"Bolt, you have to learn something......" Scruffy sighed.
Bolt looked over to him. "Help me out of here."
"In a moment, there's something to learn first......" Scruffy put his paw around the older dog's side, "Bolt, listen to me...."
"Alright, but can you do this faster," Bolt asked, "we have to save Penny and Jesse."
Scruffy sighed. "Yes, about them...well, you see..."
"Oh, friend..." a gruff voice interrupted them.
Bolt and Scruffy turned to see a pigeon on the other side of the gate.
"You've had a nice head, haven't you, boy," the pigeon tilted his head to the white dog.
"He's going to screw up, thank you, now go, I have to warn him about something grudging," Scruffy said before turning his attention back to Bolt, "now, Bolt, what I'm really trying to was..."
"Hey, guys, c'mon," the pigeon chuckled, calling to his friends, "check this out!"
A couple of other pigeons walked over, standing on both sides of the first pigeon.
"That one had his melon stuck," the pigeon laughed, gesturing to Bolt.
"Yes," the cubby pigeon on the left nodded, "that's one stuck melon."
"Bolt, excuse me a little," Scruffy replied calmly.
"Sure, just make it fast," Bolt said as he tried to bend the bars.
Scruffy nodded to him before starting to bark and chase the pigeons off. The pigeons got frightened and flew away from the hyperactive and frantic puppy.
"Well, they're gone now, I'll help you and then you must stop and listen to what I'm about to warn you about because it's reluctant," Scruffy said to Bolt.
"What is that," Bolt noticed something pink on him and flicked it off his paw.
Scruffy sighed. "That's peanuts in styrofoam, now Bolt, listen to me, you're–"
"Styrofoam," Bolt repeated, looking vengeful, "with Green Eyes written on it."
Scruffy sighed before bending the bars, setting Bolt free.
"How come your power works and mine doesn't," Bolt said.
Scruffy sighed. "Well, listen, that's very reluctant, Bolt, you're NOT a–––"
Dodger and the gang walked over to see the two dogs.
"Is there a problem here, guys," Dodger asked.
Scruffy moaned that he was interrupted yet again. "That's how it should be Snow White..." he grumbled to himself, but turned around. "Alright, mate, what are you doing here," he looked wayward up at Dodger and grinned sheepishly, "hiiiii!"
"Wait, Scruffy, is that you," Dodger asked.
"Yes..." Scruffy pouted.
"Oh, look at you..." Rita cooed, "everyone has grown up......well, I'm here..."
"Of course you've grown up, little boy," Einstein grinned.
Scruffy halfway grinned to Taiwan. "Where were you last?"
"You must've been a new puppy," Dodger grinned, "nice to see you again."
Scruffy noticed one dog was missing. "Where's Tito?"
"Oh, with Georgette and the little one," Dodger said, "they had to keep one, he was stubborn, but sometimes the little tyke might go to Birdwell Island to visit Aunt Cleo."
"Well, Scruffy, I think this dog is me," Rita replied.
"Uh, yes, about that..." Scruffy turned back to Bolt who was looking around for Dr. Calico who would never arrive.
"Who is he looking for," Einstein asked.
"Long story..." Scruffy replied.
"Listen, boys," Bolt came over to Dodger's gang, "do you know anything about the Green-Eyed Man?"
"Of course we see him, you and Penny on TV," Einstein grinned.
"TV," Bolt asked, "hey, I don't have time for that, you dogs are useless, I need someone close to Green Eyes...like a cat."
One of the pigeons from before overheard this and found this perfect to get even with a certain cat.
"Bolt, listen to me, you're a––" Scruffy tried again.
"Excuse me," the pigeon flew down and landed in front of the white shepherd dog, "did you say a cat?"
"Yes, a cat," Bolt replied, "and if I find him, ooh, if I find him, I intend that the cat was never born."
"Watch the cats, mate," Dodger warned.
"Some of them aren't too bad," Scruffy said.
The pigeon seemed to smirk evilly through his beak. "I think I only know cats."
"Really," Scruffy asked.
"Yes..." the pigeon chuckled, "come to me."
"Lead the road," Bolt said.
The pigeon nodded and led the road. Then Bolt started to follow the pigeon.
Scruffy sighed and shook his head. "This dog never listens......"
"Let me guess, he doesn't know about real life, did he do that," Dodger asked.
"No, it's like he believes the show is his real life," Scruffy replied.
"You have to warn him before it's too late," Rita warned him.
"That's what I'm trying to do," Scruffy whined.
"Looks like the old guy doesn't stop to listen, did he," Francis said.
"You have no idea....." Scruffy frowned.
"Perhaps he's just hungry......" Einstein said, "it's hard for me to pay attention if I'm hungry."
"I don't think so," Scruffy said before going away to keep up with Bolt.
"Should we help the boy out, Dodge," Rita asked the leader dog.
"Looks like he might need it," Dodger said.
"Let's go then, guys," Rita warned the others.
With that said, the other dogs followed as Bolt was being led to find the cat he had in mind.
Luckily for Scruffy, it wasn't the orange kitten he knew, instead, it was a black cat with white patches. And not just any ordinary cat, this was the cat he had seen in his vision from the night he had contacted with Aleu.
"It's that cat I saw in my vision," Scruffy whispered.
The cat was lying down upside down and appeared to be napping.
"Why shouldn't I be surprised," Scruffy moaned.
Another pigeon came to meet the cat and came with food to her, revealing that this cat was a female.
"Here you go, Mittens," the pigeon said.
"Right on time, Saul, c'mon in," the cat greeted the pigeon once she heard her name.
The pigeon came in with the food he was to deliver.
Mittens turned herself right side up on top of the crate she was lying on top of as the bird came with food for her. "Alright, Saul, nice work..." she nodded to the bird after the food was placed, "let's find some mustard next time, alright, babe?"
"Yes, Mittens," the pigeon bowed before flying away.
The cat nodded to him as he flew away, but another pigeon came with a piece of hot dog in its beak.
'Wow, that sure is find for a pigeon,' Scruffy thought to himself.
The other pigeon went away, one brought more food and was on his road off, but...
"Louie," Mittens called to the pigeon who tried to escape, "what is this?"
"Oh, that," the pigeon looked hesitant, "it was a slow week.....that's only half of what I had."
Mittens stood up slightly and her stomach growled lowly. "You hear this, Louie? I'm starving here! And until the old stomach starts speaking, it ain't speaking to me, it's speaking to the claws!"
'Is she threatening him,' Scruffy thought to himself.
"Not the claws," the pigeon recoiled in horror as the cat came down next to him, "please!"
"I'm holding these bad boys back, best I can, but, fact is, it's not up to me," Mittens circled the fearful bird, "the stomach has a direct line to these babies and I'm picking up a lot of chatter. Well, I'll talk to the claws, but in exchange, next week all your food comes to me."
"But that's not our deal," the pigeon yelped to her, "I bring you half, you give me protection. That's our deal."
"Yeah, well, the deal just expired," the cat scoffed, "now get lost."
"Mark my words, Mittens," the pigeon frowned before leaving the alley, "one day, somebody's gonna stand up to you. Somebody's gonna teach you a lesson."
"Yes," the cat deadpanned with a smirk, "I'm really afraid now."
Bolt zipped and tackled the cat against the wall with a growl. "You should be."
"Bolt," Scruffy called out, "stop!"
"Woah! Alright," Mittens yelped, a little afraid of Bolt since he had her shoved against the wall, "yes!"
"Where are they," Bolt demanded.
"Uh..." Mittens looked lost, "who?"
"You know why we're here," Bolt snarled, "where are they?"
"OK, that's it, look, buddy, I don't know what you're getting at, but..." Mittens started until she heard laughter and looked up to see three pigeons were laughing at her, no longer afraid of her since a dog was pushing her around.
"Bolt, let her go," Scruffy barked.
"C'mon, Mittens," one pigeon mocked, "just warn the guys where they are."
"Warn the dogs, make them happy," the other added in.
"Yes, yes, c'mon, Mittens," the third and final one finished, "warn them!"
"Joey, Vinnie, Bobby, my boys," Mittens called up to the pigeons, "would you warn the crazy canine that he's had the wrong cat?"
The pigeons disagreed with her and continued to allow Bolt to torment her.
"Looks like we're gonna have to do this the hard fashion," Bolt said, softly and seriously.
"Hard fashion," Scruffy asked.
Bolt carried Mittens by the ends of her neck fur, dangling her over the bridge of incoming traffic.
"Are you crazy," Scruffy exclaimed.
"I agree," Mittens yelped as she saw passing cars zipping all around as Bolt dangled her.
Scruffy was worried at what would happen to Mittens if Bolt let her go.
The pigeons watched, wondering if perhaps they went a little too far with the black cat's torment.
"You work for the men in black who work for the man with the green eye," Bolt muffled as he dangled Mittens, "they've taken Jesse and Penny. Where are they?"
"I don't know what you're speaking about," Mittens yelped, fearing for dear life.
"Bolt, I think she's warning the truth," Scruffy said.
"Don't let her deceive you, Scruffy," Bolt replied as he continued anyhow, "this is getting tiresome, Cat. In fact, I feel a yawn coming on!"
"OK, that's it, I'll speak," Mittens gave in as she feared about becoming road hogs, "uh, I know where Penny and Jesse are! They have them! Yes, the men in black, the guy with the blue eyes!"
"Blue eyes," Bolt raised a brow about her 'confession'.
"She said 'green eye'," Scruffy lied.
"Um...oh, yes, green," Mittens went along with it, but gestured to one of her own emerald eyes to emphasize the point, "the one green eye!"
"You just can't stop lying, can you, Cat," Bolt growled.
"Some cats lie," Scruffy shrugged.
"It's in the genes," Bolt nodded, "it's just gross."
"I know, it's disgusting, I disgust myself," Mittens mumbled, but glanced up at Bolt's collar and saw a word that caught her attention instantly. "Hollywood? Uh, but if you put me down, I'll show you where they are," she added in faster and sneakily with a sheepish chuckle.
"Huh..." Bolt looked like he had to think about it, but looked to Scruffy for a second opinion, "what do you think?"
"Yes, please," Scruffy said.
"Very well..." Bolt gave in, then but Mittens back over the bridge.
"Thanks, boy," Mittens said to Scruffy and led them back to her alley hideout.
"No problem," Scruffy said.
"Just speak, Cat," Bolt demanded.
Mittens sighed and rolled her eyes, taking them into the alley.
Once they were there, Bolt and Scruffy stood next the dumpster as the cat went into it.
"You know, I hope you appreciate the risk I'm taking here," Mittens said to Bolt, playing with his mind a little as he had one part of the leash around her body as she was looking for something to take out for the dogs, "every bone in my evil cat body warns me not to betray the Green-Eyed Man's trust."
"Show us what you're looking for," Scruffy said.
"Almost had it," Mittens called, but came out with something in her paws and she jumped out of the dumpster. "Alright, this is a top-secret map of the whole Earth," she set it down on the ground to show a map of the United States mat from a waffle house, "now here we are, next to the green lady with the big torch, and my master has locked up Penny and Jesse...they're...right...here...here, here! With waffles in sunglasses. Now all you have to do is get from here to there."
"It'll take us a few days to get there," Scruffy said.
"Oh, that'll be simple," Mittens grinned.
"Huh..." Bolt thought about it.
"Well, I warned you where to find him, if you undress me I'll be on my road," Mittens replied with a small grin.
"A deal's a deal," Scruffy said.
"I'll release the cat, if we find Penny and Jesse," Bolt warned Scruffy.
"What," Scruffy gaped at him.
"I'm sorry," Mittens added, "that wasn't a deal! We made a deal!"
"Your deal is just over," Bolt replied, using her own words against her.
"You deserve it in a fashion," Scruffy said to Mittens.
"You can't be serious," Mittens whined.
"Unfortunately, he is," Scruffy said.
Mittens moaned, feeling like this was going to be the longest day of her life.
Bolt wandered out and spotted a U-Haul. "It's perfect," he rushed to it, dragging Mittens behind him since she was attached to the leash connected to his collar.
"You're not making it easy for her, Bolt," Scruffy said.
"She's a cat, where she needs to punished," Bolt nodded firmly.
"Yes, but c'mon, everybody deserves some sympathy," Scruffy said.
Bolt came up to the back of the U-Haul and spotted the lock. "Huh...it's locked..." he froze like a statue and stared firmly to the locked door.
Mittens groaned and tried to pull on the leash to get herself free, but had little to no avail. She even tried running away, but she was yanked back by the force and Bolt was yet fully silent. "Listen, Cujo, I've had some really bad nails under these dolls," she warned the American white shepherd as he kept staring at the lock, "don't let me take these naughty boys out."
Bolt did not even respond her, he kept staring at the lock.
"Oh, please don't warn me, he's doing what I think," Scruffy moaned.
Mittens sighed. "What do you think you're doing here?"
"Stand back," Bolt warned as he kept his brown eyes focused on the lock, "if I look really hard at the lock, it'll burst into flames and melt."
"Now I'm worried on several levels," Mittens deadpanned.
"Let's just say he lived in a fake world," Scruffy whispered.
Then there were voices from a distance.
"Invaders," Bolt panicked and ran away, dragging Mittens behind, "c'mon, Scruffy!"
"Hey, slow down," Mittens yelped. "Slow down, you're scratching the fur off my––" she smacked right into a letter box and was knocked out briefly from the impact.
"Oh, that hurts," Scruffy winced.
Bolt dragged Mittens along.
Scruffy glanced back and saw two men were only moving a couch. "Oh, these two people," he sighed.
"I forgot the keys," the skinnier man growled, but put the couch down on the sidewalk, "I'll be right back."
The chubbier man shivered, but sat down, trying to catch his breath and sat down in the couch. Then he looked down as a penny rolled next to his foot.
Bolt dragged Mittens over, thinking this man might be dangerous.
"Hey, lucky coin," the man grinned to himself, picking up the coin and flicked it.
The skinnier man came back and caught the coin in his hand. "Thanks! Now move your butt."
Luckily Scruffy, sneaked under the couch, as well without being seen. Bolt made sure Mittens was over the couch bottom with them as he held on tight like underneath the van with Jesse and Penny as the men moved it.
"I hope there won't be any damage with that," Scruffy whispered.
Bolt looked to Scruffy and nodded. "These people must have Jesse and Penny, I know this," he whispered back.
Scruffy sighed and rolled his eyes. He was going to have to endure this the entire time he would be with Bolt. The men tilted the couch slightly before they set it down inside the U-Haul they were moving it into. Once it was set, they moved the door down and got into the vehicle to drive it away.
"Alright, now it's smooth sailing out of here," Scruffy whispered.
The U-Haul kept driving on and on and on...Scruffy yawned and started to get sleepy, but decided to take a small nap until they would make it back to Bolt's home.
Meanwhile, back in Hollywood.....
The agent got off his cellphone and was on the road to the trailer, Penny had grown emotionally depressed over the loss of Bolt and had no idea where could he be. Amber did her best to console her daughter and Jesse, Lex, Tim and Riley even came, Jesse was feeling the same pain since Scruffy was also gone.
"I wish they're fine wherever they are," Lex said.
"It'll be alright....." Amber cooed to her weeping daughter.
Penny sniffled and hugged her mother nice and close. "Thanks, Mum."
There was a knock at the door and the agent walked in with a grin on his face. "I have had some best news."
"They found Bolt and Scruffy," Jesse and Penny asked out of hope.
"No, better than that," the agent replied, "I just booked you two as the main guests on The Tonight Show!"
Then Jesse and Penny frowned, yes, that was emotional, but they had just lost their best friends in the entire wide world.
"That's right," the agent continued, mistaking their silence for stunned silence.
"Is that more emotional than finding their best friends," Tim asked.
"T-That doesn't mean anything if Bolt and Buffy are yet missing..." the agent dropped his emotional grin.
"Scruffy," Jesse narrowed his eyes.
"Any matter...." the agent ignored it, "it's not even nice news, 'whatever', 'what if?' The Tonight Show, who cares? I don't care..."
"I think you should go," Riley advised sharply.
"I agree, but why don't you warn tonight's show that neither Penny nor Jesse will be on the show," Tim said assertively to the agent.
The agent mumbled and walked away, taking himself out of the trailer. Lex frowned at him, but looked comfortingly to her twin brother in grief.
"Aw..." Amber cooed to her daughter, "it's alright, baby."
"He must've been very afraid," Penny frowned as she looked at one of her photographs with Bolt.
"I wish Bolt is as brave as Scruffy and they're probably going back to Hollywood," Lex said to Penny and Jesse.
"She's right, darling," Amber agreed, "Bolt's not afraid of anything, and Scruffy's had a grand head on his shoulders."
Penny grinned with tears in her eyes of hope for their dogs.
"I think Bolt and Scruffy want you on the Tonight Show," the agent swiftly said with a smug smile.
Amber showed a rare display of frustration and frowned at her husband's former agent and daughter's current agent.
"Or perhaps not...." the agent said, rather weakly.
Lex simply moaned out of annoyance.
Amber sighed, but turned back to the children. "Bolt and Scruffy love you guys so much..." she said in a soothing tone of voice for Jesse and Penny, "you're both here...they couldn't have gone far."
"Yes," Tim added in.
Jesse sighed as he looked out the window. "Scruffy, where are you?"
Meanwhile, back in the moving truck......
Bolt was sitting on top of the couch while Scruffy yet napped.
"I guess that would make you, like, some kind of super dog," Mittens made a conversation.
"That information has been classified," Bolt informed strictly.
Scruffy was trying to continue his nap while the two of them were speaking.
"Oh, c'mon," Mittens continued as she looked around the boxes behind the couch, "like, what's your best strength? You want to move, how about flying? Can you fly?"
"He can't fly, now please shut up, I'm trying to enjoy my nap," Scruffy moaned, "now I know how Snow White feels if she tries to take a nap."
Bolt and Mittens glanced to Scruffy as he tried to get some sleep.
"He's right, I can't fly," Bolt warned Mittens.
"Well, fine," Mittens scoffed, "if you don't have any powers, but you don't have any. What does it have to do with me?"
"I have a super bark," Bolt defended.
Scruffy moaned since it seemed as though he wouldn't get through his nap. Bolt and Mittens kept speaking about the powers, especially about the super bark until Mittens asked about it.
"Listen, please stop asking him all these questions," Scruffy the cat begged.
"Hey, I'm just trying to be polite, boy," Mittens defended herself.
"Sure and I'm sure this has nothing to do with you thinking he's crazy," Scruffy said.
"I was just wondering, how exactly does one super bark," Mittens shrugged.
"I really can't speak about this," Bolt replied, "that was classified."
"That's grand," Scruffy grinned.
"Alright, then I suggest you get off the phone and take us to Jesse and Penny," Bolt demanded sharply to the black cat.
"You're super attached to these Penny and Jesse characters, right, Wags," Mittens replied.
"Penny is his, uh...who is like Jesse to me," Scruffy warned her.
"Oh, please, they're just people...." Mittens scoffed as she reached a baseball bat, coming up right behind the dogs to knock them out of it. "Well, if you ask me, the only nice ones are------" she tried to say, but the bat was too heavy and she fell behind the couch, which knocked a box loose.
The box toppled over and landed on top of Bolt and Scruffy, luckily not hurting them, but it had the Styrofoam packing peanuts.
'Styrofoam,' Scruffy thought to himself, 'oh, dear, this can't end well.'
"STYROFOAM," Bolt dashed out of the pile and rushed to the latch of the door, "pull and roll!"
"Tuck and what," Mittens panicked.
Bolt opened the latch and then he tucked and rolled out with Mittens being flung out with him. Scruffy simply sighed before joining them.
They ended up in a very large and grassy field, rolling down a hill as the U-Haul kept driving on without them.
"I'll get that dog for this," Scruffy moaned while rolling down on the grass.
"Ow..." Bolt moaned once he stopped rolling and then looked at his paw like there was something wrong, "what? This red liquid emanates from my feet?"
"It's called 'blood'," Scruffy warned him as soon as he stopped rolling.
"Do I need this," Bolt asked, almost as if he had never heard of blood before.
"That's right," Mittens scowled, "then if you want to keep it inside your body where it belongs, you should stop jumping off the 80's on the interstate!"
"Um...normally, I'm more indestructible," Bolt replied. "Must have been..." he gasped as he saw one of the packing peanuts, "styrofoam box! That fact, it makes me weak."
"Oh, for the love of peat," Scruffy moaned.
Mittens picked up the peanut and held it like a weapon. "Aha! I did so!"
"What are you doing here," Bolt instantly panicked, "put this down!"
'She can't be serious,' Scruffy thought to himself.
"OK, that's it. I've had it with you," Mittens frowned at Bolt, "untie me, pooch. Or I'll...I'll...I'll hurt you badly! I'll seriously injure you with this foam."
"Are you seriously doing this just to be free," Scruffy asked.
"Can you blame me," Mittens glanced at Scruffy.
"Nice point," Scruffy said.
Mittens nodded, but frowned at Bolt with the peanut in her paw.
"Woah," Bolt panicked again, "are you crazy? You're not the strength of Styrofoam!"
"Oh, you bet I'm mad," Mittens circled the dogs, "and I'm about to unleash the power of Styrofoam!"
"It's hard to see," Scruffy moaned.
Mittens smirked as she used the packing peanut as a weapon.
"Oh, alright, you win," Bolt surrendered. "OK, Cat! That's it. You win. I'll untie you...." he looked up in the distance, "that's a weird place to put a piano."
"He really thinks she's going to love that," Scruffy whispered to himself.
However, Mittens did so and once she looked away, Bolt tackled her and ended up on top of her.
"I guess she did...." Scruffy shrugged.
"Are we going to have any more problems, Cat," Bolt frowned down at Mittens.
"No! No, no," Mittens replied hesitantly, "no matter what. I'll take you two to Penny and Jesse!"
Then there was suddenly a low growling noise heard.
"Oops, I know that sound," Scruffy frowned.
"What is that," Bolt asked.
"What," Mittens didn't hear it.
Bolt sat down away from her and held his stomach with his paws as the growl happened again. "That! Alright, you have two seconds to warn me at what you've implanted in me, Cat! Poison? Parasite? Sponger," he looked concerned, "oh, dear, I just said that, didn't I? You see, I'm so confused. I can't think straight."
"Oh, for Gabriel's sake...." Scruffy grumbled, "Bolt, I'm just hungry!"
"Wait, what," Bolt asked.
"You...are...hungryyy..." Scruffy repeated. "C'mon, everyone's hungry! Especially Uncle Rolly or Budderball..." he mumbled under his breath.
"You've caused this, right," Bolt frowned at Mittens.
"What," Mitten frowned back at him.
"Where's the antidote," Bolt ordered.
"Well, fine, alright..." Mittens moaned, but led the road to find a place for food to cure Bolt's hunger.
"Let's hope it's nearby," Scruffy said.
"Trust me, alright," Mittens replied.
They followed the black cat to atop a hill and there was a picnic rest stop with tables and RVs from human guests that was in view.
"There's your antidote," Mittens warned Bolt once they stopped, "food."
Scruffy's mouth was already watering with saliva.
"Go ahead, use the dog's face," Mittens warned Bolt, "you know...beg..."
Bolt looked at her like she was speaking gibberish or something.
"Uh, Scruffy, warn me what I mean," Mittens warned the puppy.
Scruffy nodded before showing Bolt what this meant as he began to whine and tilt his head and with a flourishing touch, he turned on the puppy dog eyes.
"Like that," Mittens added to show that was what she was speaking about.
"Wow," Bolt said.
"I can't remember the last time I ate..." Scruffy pouted.
"Well, how do I do that," Bolt asked, referring to the dog face.
"Picture of me tied to the only dog on Earth that doesn't know how to beg," Mittens face-pawed.
"I better teach him how to beg," Scruffy warned her.
"Thanks because I think my sanity is starting to crumble," Mittens agreed.
Scruffy stood face-to-face with Bolt where he could teach him.
"This is foolish," Bolt sighed after he tried it, but had little to no avail, so felt like giving up.
"No, no, no, no," Mittens replied, "please work with me on this. You're almost done."
"Yes, c'mon, you're almost there," Scruffy said.
"Oh, boy..." Bolt rolled his brown eyes and then grinned with his ears pointed up.
"Alright, let's try it another fashion," Mittens suggested, "waiter, that is."
Then Bolt tilted his head the other road with a small frown, but yet had his ears up.
"Ears down," Scruffy instructed.
Then Bolt tilted his ears down the best that he could.
"And now, lower your chin," Scruffy said.
Then Bolt dipped his chin down.
"Hold it," Mittens helped, "it's right there. And a little like that, look up."
Then Bolt slightly looked up as his ears drooped behind his head.
"Perfection," Scruffy cheered.
"Soup's fine, darling," Mittens beamed.
"Now, let's go get some food," Scruffy grinned.
"Let's go, go, go," Mittens nodded firmly.
With that said, the one cat and two dogs wandered around the park area to beg for food in order to eat. Hopefully, Bolt could do this without screwing up.
"Now, this should be easy," Scruffy said.
Bolt and Scruffy came to one door.
"Alright, let me present this one and you can try the next," Scruffy advised.
Bolt nodded and stayed out of view while Mittens hid herself. An elderly couple came to the door and saw Scruffy with his big brown mournful eyes with whining as he tried to make himself look pathetic. And which worked as he was given some food.
"Here you go," the woman beamed as she handed him half a hot dog and closed the door.
"Amazing..." Bolt seemed astounded by Scruffy's abilities.
"You see? That's how you do it," Scruffy warned him.
"Huh..." Bolt looked confident enough to try it himself now.
"Alright, the next one is for you," Scruffy said.
"Alright, wish me luck..." Bolt took a deep breath as he went to the next spot.
"It's in your instincts," Scruffy said.
Bolt nodded, but he tried his begging face at the next human.
"Look at the little guy......" the young man grinned to Bolt.
Then Bolt and Scruffy did cute and hopeless poses with a few cute tricks to get the humans to give them food. Mittens once tried, but a man threw a frying pan at her, not even giving her a chance and warned her to beat it.
"I guess some people don't like cats," Scruffy whispered.
Scruffy and Bolt were adored however and were able to eat enough to keep them complete for a nice while.
"One more trailer and we're back on the road," Scruffy said.
Mittens looked at the lawn ornaments, which contained a pink flamingo and a pinwheel as they came up to the final trailer. There appeared to be several voices heard inside of the trailer, it was ambiguous of whether people or just the television in the background. At last, Scruffy and Bolt got the attention of a little old lady who opened the door at last.
"Well, hi, puppies," the lady grinned to the two dogs. "Did you come for some of Grandma's butter bean buns? Uh-uh. Wait right there," she said before going back inside and shut the door gently behind her back.
"That sounds delicious," Scruffy said.
"Look at you," Mittens grinned to Scruffy and Bolt. "You're pretty small actors, aren't you? I've not eaten like that in ages," she leaned back and showed her very flat belly, "hey, look, my stomach's stretched out! How amazing is that?"
"How much do you eat everyday," Scruffy asked.
"Stump and pieces, it's not reluctant right now," Mittens shrugged.
"Alright," Scruffy shrugged back.
"Yes, well, don't get used to it," Bolt warned Mittens, "we must keep moving."
"But this place is a gold mine," Mittens disagreed, "every week, new campers bring us new suckers that bring us new food. Look around! It's perfect."
They all suddenly stopped as they heard something rolling on one of the tables next to them. They looked to see a hamster inside a plastic ball rolling over and he looked very starstruck.
"Uh...can we help you," Scruffy asked.
"Do my eyes deceive me," the hamster grinned in Bolt's direction in specific, "is this an apparent I see in front of me? Or could it be my hero?"
"Let me guess, you're a fan of Bolt as well," Scruffy grinned.
"Oh, huge fan, man, huuuuuge fan," the hamster grinned back, "oh, my heavens, oh, my heavens, oh, my heavens, You're Bolt, the Super Dog! You're absolutely amazing!"
"Wait a moment," Mittens cut in, "you know this dog?"
"I do, he's completely awesome," the hamster replied with glee.
'He must be one of these fans that believes everything on the TV show,' Scruffy thought to himself.
Mittens got annoyed with the hamster's fan boy outbursts and demanded to know who he was.
"I'm Rhino," the hamster introduced himself.
"Rhino," Scruffy asked, "why would someone name their hamster after an animal in Africa?"
"Yes, seriously," Mittens added, sounding cynical of the rodent's naming.
"Well, you know, my ancestry isn't all hamster," Rhino replied, "I'm one-sixteenth wolf with, you know, a little wolverine in there somewhere, but that's besides the point...we have before us a legend! Bolt the Super Dog! He can outrun speeding missiles and burn through solid metal with his heat vision. Oh! And best of all, he can obliterate large structures with his super bark!"
"Wait a moment," Bolt got alert at the last detail, "you've seen my super bark?"
Rhino grinned and nodded.
"Have you been observing me like Scruffy," Bolt asked, tilting his head slightly.
"Oh, yes," Rhino beamed, "I watch you all the time!"
"Seems like it," Scruffy said.
"That's incredible," Bolt felt won over.
"Oh, it's nothing really," Rhino said.
"But I'm always so vigilant," Bolt said to the hamster, "no one can evade my detection...you're a phantom."
"Sure, let's go with that," Scruffy said.
"Uh...if you say so...." Rhino shrugged.
"Nice to meet a fellow fan though," Scruffy said to Rhino, "I don't think I've met a hamster before."
"Nice to meet you as well," Rhino grinned.
"Oh, man, this is thrilling," Scruffy grinned, "unfortunately, Bolt doesn't know his life is just a TV show."
"Wait, Bolt's life is just a TV show," Rhino asked.
Scruffy sighed and shook his head. "And people say I lose touch with reality."
"Well, you are the only one here who isn't totally crazy," Mittens asked.
"Are you president of the club," Scruffy asked with a teasing smirk.
"Perhaps, perhaps not," Mittens smirked back.
"Well, where's Penny," Rhino asked after talking with Bolt for a little bit.
"She was taken by the Green-Eyed Man along with Scruffy's person," Bolt informed.
"Taken," Rhino panicked, "this is horrible! They could be in grave-----"
"Grave danger, we know," Bolt replied before gesturing to Mittens, "but we've captured this cat."
"Am I the only not crazy dog here," Scruffy asked, "look, she isn't working for him, I don't think she even knows who we're speaking about."
"Ah, that's what she wants you to think," Rhino said to Scruffy, "I presume she's an agent for the Green-Eyed Man."
"You presume correctly," Bolt replied, "she's taking us to Jesse and Penny."
"You, you are vile vermin," Rhino snarled to Mittens, "how do you sleep at night? Penny's the most wonderful person ever, and she loves Bolt. And he's awesome, and you're a monster! How dare you disrupt their relationship with your evil!"
"You want the cat, you'll have to go through me first," Scruffy said.
"Oh, bring it on," Rhino challenged, frowning down to Scruffy, "die! Die! Die!"
"Woah," Bolt tried to relax the hamster before he would go too far.
"I can take them, Bolty, oh, lemme at them," Rhino looked like he wanted to fight.
Scruffy rolled his eyes before lifting up the entire picnic table.
"Woah," Rhino yelped as he was rolling off the table now due to being in a ball and where thanks to the ball, he didn't get hurt but was surprised to see that Scruffy was super-strong. "Now that's a super-dog," he grinned at Scruffy once he looked up.
"Warned ya so," Scruffy grinned proudly.
Mittens was just surprised and amazed at how strong Scruffy was.
"Easy now, Scruffy, easy..." Bolt warned.
"OK, that's it," Scruffy moaned before placing the table back on the ground.
"You must've been altered like Bolt," Rhino said.
"No, I was born this fashion," Scruffy replied, "my dad was super strong and I took a lot after him."
"Wow," Rhino said.
"That cat better watch her back though..." Rhino sent a warning look to Mittens, "don't worry though, we need her alive."
"'Us'," Mittens asked.
"Yes," Rhino beamed, "Bolt, I can be a valuable addition to your team."
"Oh, dear," Scruffy grumbled.
"At least someone else is eventually making sense here," Mittens said about Scruffy.
"I'm listening," Bolt said to Rhino.
"I'm lightning fast," Rhino began, "I have razor-sharp reflexes, and I'm a master of stealth. Plus, I'll keep the cat in check."
Mittens rolled her eyes in response to this.
"Oh, boy," Scruffy muttered.
"The road will be rough," Bolt warned Rhino.
"I have a ball," Rhino smirked.
"There's no turning back," Bolt warned.
"Guess I'll have to roll with the punches," Rhino replied in determination.
"Easy won't be part of the equation," Bolt smirked.
"Promise," Rhino leaned against his ball.
"I gotta warn you," Bolt smirked to the hamster, "going into the belly of the beast, danger at every turn."
"I eat danger for breakfast," Rhino warned him.
"You hungry," Bolt smirked.
Soon Rhino cracked his neck. "Starving!"
"Welcome aboard," Bolt beamed.
"Are you crazy," Scruffy exclaimed.
Rhino cheered in emotion.
"Um, hey," Mittens came over, "can we speak for a second?"
Then Scruffy moved Rhino's ball where Mittens could talk with Bolt in private.
"I'm perhaps counting the amount of lunatics on this trip," Mittens grinned before getting serious, "my limit is one."
"He's coming with us," Bolt smirked.
"But I--what," Mittens was about to protest until Rhino kept moving in his ball against her behind.
"Leave her alone," Scruffy warned Rhino.
"Move it, prisoner, we're losing daylight," Rhino warned Mittens.
"I agree," Bolt nodded, "now, we need to find a fast set of wheels."
"Yes," Scruffy nodded.
"I've had a better idea," Rhino warned them. "Follow me," he rolled himself over to the bridge above the train tracks.
"I have a bad feeling about this," Scruffy sighed.
Mittens felt the same fashion as she tried to pull the leash with Bolt.
"Okay, so what we do here is we give the target a quick flyover, we adjust the trajectory and then land dead center," Bolt recapped. "Am I missing anything, Rhino?"
"Just the knowledge that every minute spent in your company becomes the new greatest minute of my life." Rhino smiled.
"Need help with the leash?" Scruffy asked Mittens.
"I promise to never make fun of dogs again," Mittens begged. "This is just too crazy, I don't know about you, but I can't do this!"
Soon Scruffy was about to free Mittens. Mittens thanked him several times as she had enough of this crazy adventure.
"Calm down, Cat, you're with us," Bolt warned Mittens before walking away while dragging her behind.
"That's the problem," Mittens yelped.
Soon Scruffy got her free from the leash.
"Oh, thank you," Mittens grinned to Scruffy.
"You're free, Mittens, go back wherever you must go," Scruffy grinned back to her.
"Uh...I don't exactly have anyplace to live," Mittens said.
"What," Scruffy asked.
"That alley's not really my home..." Mittens shrugged, "I've been on the streets for a long time. I used to have a home......"
"Huh...you kinda remind me of my Aunt Angel," Scruffy replied.
"Anyhow, you better stop your friend," Mittens said.
Scruffy nodded. "Bolt," he called out before going after the slightly older white dog.
"Don't worry, Bolt's done this a million times," Rhino said.
Scruffy moaned and face-pawed. "For the last time, Bolt, you're not really a super dog, you're just on a TV show with Penny!"
"Wait, say what now," Mittens asked.
"Bolt's from a TV show," Scruffy explained to her, "it's a very long story, but he's just an actor, but he doesn't even realize it."
"What do you say no fashion I'm doing this in craziness," Mittens yelped.
"Oh, my heavens," Scruffy's eyes widened.
That was right, Bolt had never once experience pain in his show. He was indestructible after all in the show, but Scruffy actually was due to Patch becoming a super dog during puppy hood and special thanks to Glen since they became pet and owner.
"I have to stop him," Scruffy said.
"Are ya sure, boy," Mittens asked.
"Trust me," Scruffy nodded as he went over the bridge to get ready.
Soon Bolt got ready to jump away. Then Scruffy leaned over and bit onto Bolt's collar to keep him from going down.
Bolt frowned as he was stuck and turned back. "Scruffy, let me go!"
"No, I can't let you get hurt," Scruffy muffled.
"But I won't get hurt," Bolt warned him.
"Yes, you will," Scruffy warned him, "Bolt, listen to me, you're--"
Bolt frowned slightly as he tried to wiggle out of his collar to be let free. Soon Scruffy got Bolt back on the bridge and kept him from going anywhere as he put his front right paw on Bolt's tail.
"Scruffy, we have to save Penny and Jesse," Bolt warned the younger dog, "this is reluctant! Don't you miss Jesse? I miss Penny!"
"Bolt! You're not really a super dog! And Penny and Jesse aren't in danger," Scruffy warned him while having Rhino's ears covered while he was warning Bolt the truth.
Rhino seemed distracted any matter.
"They're fine," Scruffy warned Bolt, "none of that was real, but this is real!"
"No way...I mean, what about these powers I could use," Bolt asked Scruffy.
"Special effects...." Scruffy sighed.
"And these guys I fought," Bolt asked.
"Actors," Scruffy said.
"I think I know what's going on here," Bolt replied. "you've been corrupted by Calico."
Scruffy sighed as there was only one fashion for him to prove that he was right about Bolt's life on the show besides the part of Penny loving Bolt because that part was real as Scruffy took his paw off Bolt's tail. "Bolt, I want you to charge at me," he said.
"I don't wanna hurt you, Scruffy," Bolt replied.
"Don't worry, you won't," Scruffy warned him.
"Well, alright," Bolt shrugged before he charged at Scruffy head first.
Scruffy winced for Bolt as he stood protectively silent. Once his head collided with Scruffy's body, Bolt actually felt pain as he held his head.
"You alright, Bolt," Scruffy asked as he knew that had to hurt.
"That was strongly unpleasant..." Bolt frowned, "usually that happens to Calico's henchmen."
"That's because these actors only acted like your charge would hurt them," Scruffy said.
"I don't understand....." Bolt frowned.
"Bolt, I'm sorry, but that's just how the real world looks..." Scruffy sighed.
"No, it can't be true," Rhino moaned.
"Oh, Rhino..." Scruffy pouted to the fanatic hamster.
Bolt now seemed like his whole life had fallen apart. Scruffy sighed as he knew this had to be hard for Bolt.
"Well, how's our Super Dog," Mittens smirked.
"Mittens, not now," Scruffy warned her.
"Well then, what about my lightning bolt birthmark," Bolt asked Scruffy.
Scruffy licked his paw slightly and patted against the bolt mark and it seemed to smudge off of his fur. "Make-up." He said.
Bolt frowned, he wasn't sure how to feel right now, but his entire life had been a lie.
Soon enough, a dog-catcher came and where he was right behind them.
"But Bolt, what isn't a lie is that Penny does love you," Scruffy grinned.
Bolt frowned as he sat on the ground.
"Oh, c'mon, Bolt, it's not all bad," Scruffy tried to lighten up the mood.
Unfortunately, the dog-catcher caught them all.
"Hey," Scruffy pouted.
Soon the dog-catcher caught them and put them into the vehicle to take them to the pound. Soon Rhino came over with a ladder, only to find that they had been nabbed off and he had to do something.
Back in Hollywood, Penny was making flyers for her and Jesse's missing dogs.
"I hope they're fine," Glen said.
"Me as well, Dad," Jesse nodded.
Soon the agent smirked and came to see the teenagers and their parents.
"Look who we found, jockos," the agent smirked as he helped a man bring in two dog carriers, "it's Bolt and Scruffy! They found them."
"Bolt! Scruffy," Penny and Jesse beamed at first as the doors opened to show their lost dogs.
Although Jesse could understand the two dogs and where their voices were different than Bolt's and Scruffy's. "That's not Bolt or Scruffy," he frowned to the agent.
"Well, that depends on how you look at it," the agent replied, "you know, if I was little, I wanted a bike for my birthday, but parents had me a baseball glove. You know what I did? I pretended the baseball glove was a bicycle, and I rode it to school every day. True story."
Mindy knew that she had to speak to Penny and Jesse and make them see reason. The agent looked to her and soon left as his cue.
"Look, children, it's time to be honest with you," Mindy warned the two teens, "if we don't get back into production, people are going to lose their jobs. Nice people, with families."
"But we know Bolt and Scruffy are yet out there," Jesse said.
Penny nodded in firm agreement.
"Now we feel for you and the last fact we want to do is ask little children to make an adult decision, but it's come to that," Mindy replied, "we need you two to move forward. We're going to need you to let Bolt and Scruffy go."
"Never," Jesse tightened his hands into fists.
Penny looked like she was about to weep as she stared at the carbon copies of her and Jesse's missing dogs and soon reached out to the photo copier and shut it off to make it stop making copies, but soon she saw that Jesse wasn't going to give up. "Jesse..." she said.
"They may look just like them, but these are not our dogs," Jesse warned Penny about the replacement dogs.
"I'm sorry, love, but it has to be done," Mindy warned Jesse.
"No dog can replace them, not not, not ever, and besides, until the cast members start acting like they're going to hurt them, these two will be afraid," Jesse warned Mindy.
Mindy sighed, that was very well thought out and Jesse was very smart for his age.
"I'm sorry, ma'am, but this is my final response," Jesse warned the woman.
"Alright, we're pushing the next episode back a few more days," Mindy sighed.
"Thank you, ma'am," Jesse grinned.
Mindy gave a small grin to him and then walked away.
"Do you really think this is going to work," Penny asked Jesse.
"No, I know," Jesse replied.
"Except Bolt's with Scruffy," Glen said.
Soon Amber came in to check on her daughter.
"They gave us a few more days," Penny said.
"I hope they'll be back by then," Amber soothed her daughter.
"Since Scruffy's there as well, I'm sure they'll be fine," Jesse nodded back to his younger sister's best friend.
Meanwhile, with Bolt, Scruffy and Mittens.....
They went in the back as they were on their road to the pound after being captured by the nefarious dogcatcher. Soon the driver noticed that he was running out of gas and decided to stop at a station and where this gave Rhino enough time to catch up.
"This can't end like this," Mittens sounded like this was the end of the world for her.
"Don't worry," Scruffy warned the alley cat.
"No, that's the end for me," Mittens warned him, "people always like cute animals, but the rest of us never come back out!"
"Don't worry, I can get us out of here," Scruffy assured her.
"Oh, do try not to stain your aprons," Mittens begged.
"But you said–––" Bolt was about to say to Scruffy about how he didn't have any superpowers like he did in the show.
"I said you don't have have superpowers, but I do so," Scruffy warned him before looking he was about to tackle the door down as he stomped his front right paw like a bull.
"How," Bolt asked before pouting, "this is so unfair!"
"I'll make sure you get a superpower later," Scruffy assured him before charging at the door and with headfirst and he was successful in knocking it down.
"Oh, yes," Bolt didn't believe that at first. After all, his entire life had been a lie.
Scruffy saw they were coming to a gas station and decided to wait for the escape while the driver would be distracted and where he was distracted by paying for the gas with his vehicle.
"And we're out of here," Scruffy warned Bolt and Mittens.
And with some help from Rhino, they got Bolt and Mittens out of the vehicle.
"Rhino, so nice to see you," Scruffy grinned up to the balled up hamster.
"Fate called me," Rhino smirked before soon he came out of his ball, much to his shock.
"Wow, you're out of balls," Scruffy grinned.
"Trust me, this won't be easy," Rhino warned him.
"I can warn you; now we just need the tires to help us continue our journey to Hollywood," Scruffy said.
"I can't do it," Bolt hung his head.
This surprised Rhino as he heard his hero give up. "What did you say?!"
"I can't..." Bolt repeated as he felt hopeless.
"Bolt, you can do this....listen, I know what I said was the truth, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to get back to Penny and Jesse," Scruffy warned him.
"Who alone destroyed the Green-Eyed Man's underwater labs," Rhino asked.
"I do, but–" Bolt replied.
"And who foiled his plan to infiltrate the Olympics with the Gymnastic Cyborgs," Rhino continued, "who, Bolt, who, who?!"
"I did, but, Rhino, it wasn't–––" Bolt replied.
"YOU!! You can, Bolt," Rhino encouraged, "because there are animals all over this planet who feel they can't. Like the little hamster who once spent his day in an RV park and dreamed of the day he also would save a little girl from danger and be warned, 'you did it. You did it, Rhino. You saved the day'. They need a hero, Bolt. Someone who will do what's right. They need a hero to warn them that sometimes the impossible can become possible if you're awesome!"
"He's right, Bolt," Scruffy said.
"Yes...Mittens needs a hero......" Bolt had to admit. "I guess I have to," he frowned in determination.
"Wait, I thought all of us get free," Scruffy asked.
"The cat wanted out, I guess she had what she wanted," Bolt huffed about Mittens.
"Anyhow, Scruffy's right, we need a fast set of bikes," Mittens said.
"Oh, there you are, Mittens," Scruffy grinned.
"I'm sorry, I'm a bit slower compared to you guys," Mittens grinned back.
"It's alright," Bolt shrugged.
"C'mon, let's go, Super Dog," Mittens warned Bolt.
"I'm not..." Bolt sighed mournfully.
"Oh, Bolt..." Scruffy pouted.
"Well, what this is Aunt Angel," Mittens asked, making conversation on the road.
"Before she met my Uncle Scamp, she was a street dog," Scruffy replied, "she used to have homes, but she always had to go."
"Why," Mittens asked.
"From what I remember, she'd say allergies, the baby, or the family would have to move out," Scruffy replied as these were his favorite stories from his aunt and uncle since it was about how they met and eventually found a family at last for Angel.
Soon they saw a mobile home.
"What does he want to be a dog," Bolt asked Scruffy, he seemed like younger one this time as he had never been a real dog before unless it came to protecting Penny.
Scruffy began to explain how to be a dog. Then he came to the bathroom.
"Sometimes, I like to get a drink in here if no one's noticing," Scruffy grinned as he stood behind the toilet.
"IN THERE," Bolt gasped, "but...but...but!"
Soon he brought Bolt to the kitchen. "This can be your dog's bowl," he said.
"Uh, where," Bolt looked around.
"This! The whole floor," Mittens said as she helped while jumping onto the counter, "if it hits the ground, it's going to the dog pound, how cool is that?"
"Really cool," Scruffy grinned.
"Ah," Mittens grinned as they came to the fireplace, "on cold nights like this and a ball of yarn, oh, it doesn't get any better than that."
"You seem to know a lot about these places," Bolt said to the cat curiously.
"I have a feeling she's had a family or two," Scruffy grinned.
"Yes, I did my time in one of these..." Mittens replied like she didn't care at first, "but I'm an alley cat at heart, ya know? Sprung out the first chance I got and never turned back."
"Mittens..." Scruffy said softly, "you can warn us....it's alright...Aunt Angel warned me and my sister about her pain and she said it was much better after she met Uncle Scamp."
Mittens was about to warn them her painful experience. But before she could though, they heard a voice in the vents.
Scruffy rolled his eyes before he followed the voice and found Rhino in his ball again as he was saying 'he is awesome' about Bolt over and over again in a strange voice and where soon the hamster saw them behind him. Rhino grinned sheepishly and rolled back slightly. Bolt sniffed the inside of the vent and soon had a heavenly grin.
"Oh, Scruffy, I think it's time we introduced Bolt to the normal dog piece to resistance," Mittens suggested with a smirk.
"I agree," Scruffy nodded.
Mittens opened the window to let a very delicious scent of fresh air waft into the mobile home. "Go ahead, stick your head out," she instructed.
"Why," Bolt asked.
"Just do it," Scruffy warned him as he was on his road, "it's the best fact ever."
Soon Bolt joined him past the window. Scruffy grinned as he already enjoyed himself.
Bolt didn't understand at first, but once he did it, soon he enjoyed it himself. "This...this is awesome," he laughed and cheered as he enjoyed it.
"And stick your tongue out," Mittens said.
Soon Bolt did that and this made it better. Scruffy laughed as this was one of his favorite facts to do next to chasing Snow White just because she was a cat, plus it got her some exercise since she slept all day everyday.
Soon the mobile home pulled into the Waffle House. which allowed the animals to get out and Scruffy and Mittens began teaching Bolt on how to act like a regular and normal dog and where one of the lessons was on how to have fun. Mittens taught how to play fetch and tossed the stick. Then Scruffy instinctively followed after the stick while Bolt just sat there.
This just showed that it might take him a while to get why it was fun. Rhino took a map place mat from a man as he was eating a burger and stole one of his fries before going away. And hereafter, Scruffy Bolt got the hang of getting emotional about going after a stick to fetch and where soon the two of them both chased after the stick. Soon Rhino came over with a map in his mouth as Mittens pretended to throw the stick for Bolt and Scruffy and which they fell for it.
Soon enough, after the driver came back to their mobile home, it meant that they had to sneak back on where they would have a ride while Mittens and Scruffy educated Bolt and where he was learning rather well.
"I'm so proud of you, Bolt," Scruffy grinned to the older dog.
"Thanks, Scruffy." Bolt grinned back.
Soon enough, they were in Missouri and looked over the map with a few pigeons. Once they had one direction, they started to walk across a bridge in that direction as instructed and where they would soon need transportation again. They came in one backyard and Mittens turned on a drizzler. Scruffy laughed as he bit at the water and soon Bolt copied him as he found it to be fun as well. And soon the two of them had a sneaky idea as they picked up the shower.
Then they chased after Mittens and Rhino with the downpour, which made them all laugh out of fun. Fast enough, they were in a truck passing a farmland as a man was playing fetch with his own dog, which made Mittens do the same with Bolt and then they were on a train boxcar. As they came to a train station, Bolt covered Mittens's eyes with his paw and had a surprise for her to thank her for all of her help and where it was a ball of yarn. Mittens grinned to Bolt before she played with the ball of yarn due to being a cat and all. Next, they were at a park and soon encountered a new dog who wanted to play with Bolt and Scruffy. Bolt didn't understand what the new dog was doing where he looked to Scruffy.
Then Scruffy leaned downward and wagged his tail. Then Bolt copied, which made the other dog happy and they began to go away to play together. Mittens was happy to see Bolt and Scruffy having fun with another dog. Soon the animals rode on top of a strapped on canoe from another car with the wind in their fur. Then they were in a snowy climate after the car parked in the Grand Canyon, but that wasn't going to stop them. After they ended up in a drizzly night, Bolt's lightning bolt mark soon washed all the road away, but he didn't seem to mind or care anymore once he had to be like a real dog, he was just ready to see Penny again.
Mittens grinned to that as soon as she got to sleep herself. They were now driving through Las Vegas and they had something to eat from the trash. The trash looked so desirable and delicious due to coming from the 24-Hour Buffet. After eating, they simply sat and watched the heavens. It was truly a beautiful sight with the dancing water and decorative fireworks. Later on, it was time to go to sleep. And where the next morning would be where they would leave for Hollywood. Mittens left while they were sleeping.
"Hey...hey, Bolt, c'mon, wake up," Mittens whispered pitifully to the white dog, "c'mon, I've had a surprise for ya."
Soon Bolt got up as he wanted to see what the surprise was.
"OK, that's it, no peeking," Mittens warned him as she took the lead as he had his eyes shut, "alright...now...open them!"
Bolt opened his eyes to find a few boxes with beds and some toys.
"Bask in the glow, baby," Mittens grinned to him.
Bolt had a feeling why she was showing this to him. "I, uh..." he stammered, unsure at what to say.
Scruffy yawned as he came over. "What's going on here," he saw Mittens' surprise for Bolt.
"Just let me give you the grand tour," Mittens warned Bolt. "Alright? This one, that one's mine, and this one is all yours. Oh, Scruffy, sure, you're awake, this one's for you as well," she showed the extra box.
"Um, Mittens, we can't--" Scruffy tried to warn her.
"Oh, Bolt, I found this really soft pillow fact for you," Mittens came onto the bigger pillow meant for the white dog, "and get this: I found some Styrofoam and I stuffed it inside which I found to be both creative and ironic, ya know what I mean?"
"Mittens, I don't think that----" Bolt tried.
"Ooh, ooh, check it out," Mittens grinned as she kicked the twig aside to close the box, "total privacy and fully sound proof!"
"Mittens, listen, we can't stay---" Scruffy was about to complete his sentence.
"Alright, I lied, it's not sound proof, but ya know---" Mittens chuckled.
"Mittens, we can't stay here," Bolt and Scruffy eventually got out.
This caused for Mittens to come out of the box, looking shocked. "What...?"
"We're one waffle away from Penny and Jesse," Bolt replied.
"You're yet going back to them," Mittens sounded brokenhearted.
"Mittens, they're our owners/people and not all people are like the ones you must have grown up with," Scruffy warned her.
Mittens seemed to frown at them.
"C'mon, Mittens, why don't you come with us," Scruffy suggested, "I'm sure Penny would love to have you!"
Mittens caught Bolt by the ear. "Ow, ow, ow, ear," Bolt cried out in grief.
"Mittens, please listen to me," Scruffy yelped as he ran after them. Soon he saw her taking Bolt to a billboard.
"Look at me, Bolt. I'm real," Mittens warned Bolt, "now, how about this? Is that real? Does this look real to you? Or that? Is that real? Or that? How about that, Bolt? She's an actress. She's just pretending."
"Not Penny," Bolt warned her.
"He's right, Mittens," Scruffy said.
"No, Penny," Mittens continued, "she's fake!"
"No, you're wrong, she loves me," Bolt frowned at the cat.
"No, Bolt, no, that's what they do, alright," Mittens seethed as soon as she came back down, "they act like they love you, they act like they'll be there forever, and then one day, they'll pack up all their stuff and move off and take their love with them! AND THEY LEAVE THEIR DECLAWED CAT ALONE TO FEND FOR HERSELF!!"
"Well, Penny and Jesse aren't like that and neither are their parents or Jesse's brother and sister," Scruffy warned her.
Mittens sighed before bowing her head.
"You know, my dad's old friends Tom and Jerry were incidentally left behind until their old humans left to move out, but you know what just happened," Scruffy consoled, "they met a new human who loved them very much like they were her best friends and they helped her in a very nice fashion and it ended up being a happy ending for not just her, but also for them and they were a cat and a mouse."
Mittens seemed to now want to come along.
"Why don't you come with us," Scruffy asked Mittens, "Penny may be an actress, but she's a really sweet and loving girl and Bolt is her best friend! Just like Jesse is mine, we've been close ever since he decided to raise me while his sister raised my own."
Mittens turned away before she sat down and hung her head in depression.
"We'll give you some time to decide," Scruffy said.
Mittens glanced back before she sighed.
"She needs some time to think," Scruffy warned Bolt.
"Well, alright," Bolt said.
Mittens sighed once she was alone as she thought back to the pain she had endured. Soon she decided to just let Scruffy and Bolt go where she would never have to see them again. Soon Scruffy and Bolt got on the back of a truck. Scruffy was sure this would not be the last of Mittens, but he was rather hurt and mournful at what she said to him and Bolt about Jesse and Penny not really blaming about them.
However, Mittens was not alone, Rhino was yet there and had awakened from his food coma after the sun went down and the two dogs were leaving Las Vegas and where soon he wondered about where Scruffy and Bolt went.
"We're almost there, Jesse..." Scruffy whispered softly as he got comfortable on the couch with Bolt.
Soon they were at Hollywood. Bolt looked thrilled to see the Hollywood sign after so long and the many buildings down below.
"We're so close," Scruffy grinned.
"Well, well, it's Bolt and his new friend," a pigeon smirked right behind them, which got their attention, "I'm a really big fan of yours..."
Then two other pigeons came and greeted the two dogs.
"Oh, alright, guys, we really have to go......" Bolt backed up hesitantly.
"Yes, well, if you'll excuse us," Scruffy said before starting to sniff for Jesse's scent. "Ah, it yet smells like protein shakes and sweat..." he grinned in relief.
"Well, if you have a second, we'd like to give you an idea for an episode of your show," the lead pigeon offered, "Tom's better at pitching, I let him take it from here...Tommy's had the spotlight!"
Tom cleared his throat and looked to Bolt and Scruffy before staring silently.
'This is going to be difficult,' Scruffy thought to himself.
"Aliens," Tom began.
"Oh, speak," the lead pigeon chuckled.
"Aliens," Bolt and Scruffy replied.
"Um, that's, uh..." Scruffy said, unsure what to warn the pigeon.
The pigeons continued until Bolt and Scruffy decided to hear about this on the road to finding Penny and Jesse, which lapsed the birds of course.
Sure enough, they were at the front gates for Sovereign Entertainment.
"We're eventually here," Scruffy said.
Soon they walked around the sets and back lot as they looked for their humans. Little did they know, they were being followed by Mittens and Rhino. Scruffy could warn that they were followed, but kept it to himself. Bolt was emotional once he came into the trailer, only, Penny was not there. He looked around softly as he saw the several photographs of him with his favorite human in the world. Then he looked down at his carrot chew toy as he had it since he was a puppy in the shelter and began to play with it. Scruffy was happy that Bolt was playing with his toy.
"Bolt? Bolt," a voice called out.
Bolt's eyes widened to the voice and soon he rushed over to the source and saw Penny in the distance. Then he began to run with the chew toy in his mouth to see his girl after so long, only to stop to see she was hugging the replacement dog for him. Scruffy came out and saw the same fact before starting to bark. Jesse grinned to the replacement for Scruffy, but he seemed more mournful than sincere about the grin because this was not his Scruffy and Penny felt the same fashion about the new Bolt. Bolt felt crushed once he saw Penny happy with the new dog. Scruffy kept barking, trying to get their attention away from the replacement.
Soon Jesse stopped and put his hand up to his ear. "Scruffy."
Penny looked up to him, she could not yet speak to animals or understand them yet.
"Penny, c'mon," Jesse warned Penny before rushing away with her, taking her by the hand.
Soon the director called out "cut" as Penny and Jesse were running off the scene. Bolt was about to leave forever as he felt like Mittens was right about Penny, pretending to be like him.
"Penny," Amber cried out for her daughter in despair.
Soon Bolt stopped in his tracks once he heard Amber's voice, warning him that Penny must have run away. Mittens secretly watched this and she was proved wrong to see that Penny really and truly did blame about Bolt like he was a part of her family. Soon Penny and Jesse caught up with the real Bolt and real Scruffy.
"Bolt, is that really you," Penny asked with tears in her copper eyes.
Soon Bolt and Scruffy both barked with grins.
"Yes, it's them," Jesse confirmed with a grin.
"Oh, Bolt," Penny beamed as she hugged her dog.
Jesse laughed as he hugged Scruffy back before he was tackled down and licked on the face.
Soon Penny saw that Bolt's lightning bolt was washed away, but didn't care about that. "Bolt...you're my best friend...." she whispered before hugging him.
Bolt licked her face as he embraced the hug. Soon the agent came over to see everyone to find that Bolt and Scruffy had reunited with Penny and Jesse. One of them had incidentally knocked over a torch, starting a fire.
"FIRE," Jesse panicked as he held Scruffy. He would have used his super-breath to put it out, but he couldn't in front of everyone.
It became a rather eerie sight and unlike the show, it was more terrifying since it was a real fire and not staged.
"Oh, man, oh, man, what to do? What to do," Scruffy panicked.
"Why don't you save the day," Bolt sighed to him, "you're the real hero dog, not me."
"Bolt, a hero isn't defined by his powers, he's defined by his courage in his heart," Scruffy warned him.
"Who warned you that," Bolt sulked.
"C'mon," Scruffy warned him, "it's up to us to save Penny and Jesse, you can do it as well."
Soon Bolt felt that Scruffy was right.
"C'mon, let's work--" Scruffy started.
"Together," Scruffy and Bolt completed together with grins to each other.
Soon the two of them ran to save their owners. It was for real this time. Penny coughed roughly as she inhaled some of the smoke and was soon blacking out. Jesse began to do the very same.
"Jesse..." Penny wheezed before passing out in exhaustion.
"Who's speaking," Jesse asked before he followed after her and soon where he found found her.
Bolt and Scruffy used all their might and abilities to help Penny and Jesse out to safety as this was becoming more and more dangerous.
"What's going on here," Darla asked.
"Uh, Ms. Greenwood, nothing to concern about," the agent grinned hesitantly, "just a small fire....."
"MY NEPHEW IS IN A FIRE," Darla gaped.
"Um, yes, but--" the agent was about to say.
"But what," Amber asked as she came over.
Soon the agent backed up and rushed away like the coward he was.
"I never did like that man," Amber seethed to her best friend about her husband's former agent/daughter's current agent.
"I never liked him either," Darla said.
Soon Amber sniffled as she began to weep and concern about her daughter.
"Oh, Amber..." Darla cooed to her childhood best friend.
Soon Scruffy and Bolt began to help Jesse and Penny try to get out. It would take a lot of work, but soon it would be worth it.
Soon the fire department was called over. Glen had to find some place to change into his superhero alter ego without anyone seeing.
Rae was the only one who saw this, which made him grin sheepishly. "Just go," she warned him as this was reluctant and a serious matter of life and death.
Soon Glen sighed out of relief before going away and found the perfect spot soon before he changed into Saiyan-Man. Then Rae acted like a normal citizen until Glen came out to help save the children.
"There's children in there," the fire chief gasped.
Soon one of the firemen noticed something flying. "What's that in the heavens," he asked, "is this a bird?"
"Is that a plane," the fire-woman asked as she tried to keep their Dalmatian calm as it was freaking out from the fire.
"No, it's Saiya-Man," a second fireman warned them.
Jesse and Penny coughed as they were trapped inside the building while Scruffy and Bolt tried to help them out.
Scruffy had a feeling this was the perfect for him to give Bolt his own super strength. "Bolt, give me your paw," he said.
"Scruffy, I hardly think this is the time for you to teach me old tricks," Bolt shivered.
"Just do it and fast," Scruffy urged.
Then Bolt did so as warned before coughing from the smoke. Soon Scruffy caught his paw. Then he worked his magic the fashion that Patch taught him in case of emergency and he found a best, loyal friend who deserved this.
'I trust you to use this responsibly like since Budderball gained his own super-strength during the superhero adventure with him and the rest of the Buddies,' Patch's voice said in Scruffy's head as he remembered the day he was warned about it.
Soon Bolt felt different after Scruffy was done.
"Come on, we have to get out of here before we fry," Scruffy warned Bolt before carrying Jesse on his back.
Soon Bolt did the same with Penny. Then they carefully and swiftly tried to find a road out.
"Do you hear that," Scruffy asked.
"It sounds like someone flying," Bolt replied.
And they were right as Glen/Saiyan-Man flew in to the rescue. Scruffy grinned as he saw what this meant. Glen took a deep breath before he broke into the building and zipped in to save anyone who had fallen unconscious from the smoke, sure it was damaging burning property, but there were lives in danger right now. Soon he found Jesse, Penny, Bolt and Scruffy with only two of them unconscious and two about to become unconscious. Then he helped them out before it would be no use.
Soon an ambulance came in case facts were too risky and Dr. Calico's actor was very worried for the children as he had problems breathing showing that he was much different than his character on the TV show since he deeply blamed about them. And soon where Glen came out with Jesse, Penny, Scruffy and Bolt in his arms.
"Oh, thank heavens..." the actor breathed softly.
"My baby," Annie cried out for Jesse in despair.
Amber reacted the same fashion once she saw Penny. The firefighters took the dogs as they blacked out from the smoke inhalation while Jesse and Penny were being wheeled into an ambulance to be looked at by a doctor right away while they had oxygen tanks. Penny and Jesse both awakened after inhaling some oxygen. They heard paramedics yelling as they were being ushered to an ambulance while the firefighters carried their dogs after being helped with Saiya-Man.
"Bolt/Scruffy..." Penny and Jesse whispered weakly as they caught a look at their dogs.
"Darling, you're alive," Amber looked emotional as she rushed to her bailing daughter's side, "you have to be alright......it's going to be just fine..."
"We need them stable," a paramedic replied as he opened the ambulance doors, "we need to take them to a hospital and have a doctor look at them."
"Agreed," Glen nodded.
Darla did her best to console Amber as she was shaken up due to Penny's condition as was Annie about Jesse and where then, Penny's agent came in. The teens were consoled by their pets as they were wheeled into the ambulance.
"Oh, I'm very sorry this happened..." Amber wept to her daughter.
"I can't imagine what you must be feeling," the agent came behind her, "no mother should ever have to go through something like this, but I promise you, we're going to make this work for us."
"What," Annie asked as she held Jesse as he grinned weakly up to her.
"I think you should stop speaking," Glen warned the agent.
"Just hear me out," the agent continued anyhow, "the cover stories, production deals, executive producer credit!"
"Oh, my heavens, he's yet speaking," Lex narrowed her sapphire eyes as she consoled her twin brother.
"This is SO GRAND," the agent smirked.
Darla was about to punch him for taking advantage of her best friend's daughter and nephew like this until Amber eventually did it herself and stood up for herself and Penny, unwilling to deal with him anymore, which flung him out of the ambulance and shattered his cell phone into bits. "We quit," she frowned at the agent.
"Way to go, Amber," Darla grinned to her childhood best friend.
The agent stammered about this and tried to speak them into staying, but the door was shut in his face.
"But, Mrs. Forester, if you quit, what'll happen to the show," Tim wondered as he helped Lex console their brother until they were at the hospital.
"Knowing Hollywood, they'll think of something," Darla said.
"Besides, Penny and Jesse are more reluctant right now, next to Bolt and Scruffy," Amber added with a sigh.
The others nodded as they just hoped for the best for Penny and Jesse.
Sure enough, the two were taken to a hospital to be checked out.
"Well, they inhaled a lot of smoke, but thanks to their dogs and Saiya-Man, they are lucky to yet be alive, they're temporarily in comas, but should wake up real soon," the doctor warned the others.
"Thank heavens," Amber sighed.
"You may see them," the doctor allowed.
"Thank you, Doctor," Tommy said as he held his wife.
Then they all came to visit the two knocked out patients, but their heart monitors were yet beeping thankfully enough. Bolt and Scruffy were both by their owners' sides. Jesse and Penny were knocked out in their temporary beds. Bolt silently whined to Penny and soon licked her face to try to make her awaken since that always worked before and where that seemed to do the trick.
"Bolt..." she asked weakly as she opened her eyes.
"Oh, Penny," Amber was so relieved, "thank heavens!"
"Gads-me-gracious," Bolt sighed out of relief.
"Ugh, man, that was the craziest fact ever," Jesse moaned as soon as he awakened.
Soon Scruffy did something he would possibly regret, but knew this was the fashion to unlock Bolt's Puppy Power.
"Oh, my baby..." Annie cooed to Jesse.
"Guys..." Jesse grinned wearily to his siblings, who grinned back to him since he was yet alive and was going to be alright, along with Penny.
"Uh, Dad, is there a fashion to unlock Bolt's Puppy Power," Scruffy asked Patch.
"Puppy Power," Patch asked, "you mean you want Bolt to speak to Penny and vice versa?"
"Yes," Scruffy nodded.
"Normally, one with the ability kisses the other human on the forehead, but if you wish to pass it onto him, rub foreheads with Bolt and allow him to be pet by Penny," Patch explained based on what he remembered from until he was a pup.
"Whew," Scruffy sighed out of relief.
Patch grinned back. Then Scruffy did what his father suggested and sure enough, Bolt and Penny's lives would not only change from leaving the TV show, but even more in their relationship.
"Penny, I thought I lost you," Bolt whispered.
"Who said that," Penny looked around as she heard a voice she had never heard before. Soon she looked at Bolt having a feeling that voice came from him. "Bolt..." she asked.
Bolt looked up to her with a grin. "Penny..." he said.
"Bolt...you can speak..." Penny said, revealing she could now understand him.
"It's called Puppy Power," Jesse grinned.
"You have a lot to learn once you come out of the hospital," Amber grinned to her daughter.
Penny wearily grinned back.
Penny and Jesse didn't need to stay in the hospital too long and soon they were set to come back home and Penny would be given two new pets and where one of them was what Amber always wanted.
"Well, what do they call you guys," Penny asked her new pets.
"The name's Mittens, and this is Rhino, so nice to speak to a human," Mittens grinned to Penny.
"You're prettier in person," Rhino smirked to Penny.
Penny chuckled as she loved speaking to animals. Soon Bolt found his favorite chew toy under the couch.
"There ya go, boy," Penny grinned to her best dog.
Soon Bolt enjoyed his toy. Soon Scruffy began to look like he wanted to play with Bolt. Bolt grinned to Scruffy and decided to play with him. Scruffy laughed and then began to play with Bolt.
"He's playing," Penny looked so happy to see this.
"He sure is," Jesse grinned.
Soon Bolt and Scruffy both playfully wrestled. This made everyone laugh as it was truly a beautiful sight. Bolt seemed to had really learned a lot since he ended up lost, but thankfully he had Scruffy, Mittens and Rhino with him.
