Bolt's Season

Summary: After a year of finally having getting the normal life, Bolt hits a bump in the road. Something is going on with him and he doesn't know what it is. Does it have to do with the new dog that just moved into the neighborhood?

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of Bolt. I do own Jona, Joel, their parents, Mika, her cat, Neka, her parents, and Gen, Jona's and Joel's dog.

Notes: This is my first Bolt fanfic, and it's been about a couple of years since I seen the movie, but I remember most things about it. But since it takes post-movie, then well... uh... I don't know what the heck I should say right now.

Glitch: Read her other fics, she's like that.

Glitch, go back to Dance Central, please.

Glitch: Nope.

*sighs* Fine, since you won't do the warnings for me.

Glitch: Here's the warnings! *smiles*

Warnings: There will be cussing, dog yaoi, humor (If that counts as such), possibly OOCness, sexual content between animals, mpreg (Maybe) and so much more that I can't think of right now. Besides, you have read any of Kiya's fics before, you already know the biz.

Great job, G. Oh before we go on with the fic, I gave Penny's mom a name because in the movie she didn't have one. Her name's going to be Rachel. It was going to be Jennifer, but that seem like too much of the J's.

This is pretty much something random I came up with just for the hell of it. Anyways, have fun reading! I hope you enjoy!

Chapter One: Skateboards, Neighbors, and Brownies

It was one of those days where you could sit back and relax. Well, it always been like that since they moved here. It was a good life. It was a very roomy area, the neighbors were great people, the weather was alright even when it rained. It was peaceful.

So why is a certain white dog of ours wasn't at ease?

He woke up with the sun beaming brightly against him, warming his snowy pelt. He yawned and stretched out his limbs. He felt no one beside him. He opened his eyes and saw no one was in the room but him. 'Maybe they already woke up.', the canine thought. He leaped out the bed onto the floor. He spotted the calendar plastered on Penny's wall. It was a Saturday today. And the start of Spring Break for his owner. He trotted out the room and followed a faint scent of his family to the kitchen. As he thought, they were there eating breakfast.

Mittens was munching on some cat food and Rhino was chewing away at lettuce. Penny and her mother was just finishing their breakfast, consisting of bacon, eggs, toast, and waffles, when the young preteen spotted her dog. "Bolt, I see you're finally awake.", she smiled as she got up from her seat. Bolt yawned again before shaking his head a little. He sat on the tiled floor as Penny fixed him a good serving of food. Once the food was set down before him, he effortlessly began to eat it. For some odd reason, he wasn't feeling his best for the past few days. He brushed it off thinking it was nothing, but it got just a bit worse little by little.

Mittens and Rhino exchanged glances seeing how their canine friend was different than before.

He was usually bright and cheerful in the mornings, but now he seem to have lost that shine. What could it be?

"I really don't see the point of doing this, Mika."

"Penny, it's cool. Trust me!"

"Last time I did that, it took nearly a week to get the green dye out my hair."

In the yard stood two girls. One we already knew was Penny. Next to her stood the other. Her skin was a light almond color while her eyes was a dark hazel. Her hair was a pitch black with a single white streak going down in front of her right eye. Like Penny, she wore blue jeans, but instead of a bright orange tank, her top was a strapless pink tight shirt with a chibi character on it.

Penny glanced at Mika and then back down at her hamster and Mika's fluffy grey kitten, Neka. Both pets were secured on a motor skateboard, Rhino in his mobile ball. Neka wore a small helmet, her ears just sticking out. "Alright. This is going to be epic.", Mika chuckled. Mittens and Bolt sat a few feet away watching the scene. Bolt was resting in the grass, his muzzle settled on his crossed paws. Every now and then, the cat of the duo would look at him. He looked so... down.

"Okay! Penny, pressed the button!"

Penny closed her eyes and did so. The skateboard launched itself forward quickly. Rhino and Neka screamed as it came in contact with a ramp and flew through the air. The girls followed the speeding pets and watched as they landed in a pile of pillows set out for safety precautions. It was a miracle they landed there.

Penny and Mika rushed over to the small creatures, Mittens and Bolt following behind. Neka popped out the pillows as Rhino scrurried out his ball, both grinning brightly. "Woo! Let's do that again!", Neka cheered. Rhino nodded. "That was extreme!"

Even though they only could hear happy purrs and squeaks and not actual English, they knew their pets were alright and probably wanted to ride the skateboard again.

"Aw! They want to do it again!", Mika chuckled. The two girls looked up when they heard a sudden horn. They watched as a moving truck drove to a red house that was many yards. Penny and Mika watched as another vehicle drove up just beside it. It was a dark grey van. Two figures came out, a man and a woman. They went out back and opened the back of the van as two more people came out. They were similar in size. Finally, a dark brown animal came out. It was a quite large, maybe twice the size of Bolt, but that was from a distance.

"Looks like the new neighbors I heard Mom talk about.", Penny muttered. Mika nodded. "Hai. Hai." The two yelped when they heard a sudden yell of their names. They turned to see their mothers standing on the back porch. Mika picked up her grey kitten and Penny picked up Rhino and his ball.

The duo walked over to their moms, Mittens and Bolt trolling behind. But Bolt was slower. He didn't show it, but the pain returned. Just in the pit of his stomach, he had slight pains. He felt weak and tired.

Rhino squeaked catching Penny's attention. The redhead glanced at her white furred canine and watched as he settled on the white surface of the porch. She frowned. She, too, noticed his behavior. It worried her to the point she thought Bolt just might be sick. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. Either way, she was going to find out.

"Looks as if the new neighbors are here, Rachel.", Mika's mother, Claire. Rachel nodded. "Yeah. Penny, you want to go welcome them later?", she asked to her daughter. Penny nodded. "That will be great, wouldn't it?", she smiled. Mittens meowed in response. Penny chuckled briefly before she looked at Bolt once again. His eyes were closed as if he seem to be sleeping. The preteen sat down the midnight colored cat and kneeled next to Bolt. She rubbed his fur softly to catch his attention.

He opened his eyes and looked up at her. The snow colored dog barked softly to assure her that he was okay... when really he wasn't.

"Rhino, what are you doing?" Rhino looked towards the entrance to see Mittens and Neka approaching him in the living room. The hamster shrugged and continued flipping through channels. "Finding something good to watch. I'm bored." "I can clearly see that."

Mittens pounced on the sofa, Neka following her. The kitten looked up to Mittens like a big sister. Mittens didn't mind at all. She found another cat companion and happily welcomed it. "Um... maybe there's something good on those cartoon channels. Or maybe on the movie channels.", Neka suggested. She smoothed some of her ashy grey fur down on her fluffy tail. Rhino stopped at a movie channel, finding it acceptable.

"Alright. Hey... have you guys noticed something different about Bolt?", the fiery red hamster asked.

Mittens and her smaller cat counterpart exchanged looks before nodding. "Yes. I mean for one thing, he's not as happy as he was a few weeks ago.", Mittens answered. Neka stood on her small paws. "I noticed Bolt-kun has been acting this way since spring started. Has he ever acted this way before?"

"Not that I know of previous years, but last spring he seem fine."

Rhino began to leave the living room. "I think we should go interrogate him and get answers."

"Brownies!"

"Mika, no!"

Said preteen frowned and sat down the brownie back onto the plate with the others. She glared at Penny who stood by the entrance of the door with her arms crossed. "Penny, you're mean."

"Those are for the neighbors."

"Can't I just have one? Ichi?"

"No."

"Naze?"

"Like I said, those are for the neighbors." Mika pouted as she spotted Rachel walking into the kitchen. The woman stopped and raised an eyebrow at the pout. "Tried to take a brownie?"

"Yup."

"Stopped her?"

"Yup."

"And now she's mad?"

"Possibly."

Rachel grabbed the plate of brownies and placed them in a container. "Mika, I baked some just enough for you and Penny.", she smiled. Mika squealed, hugged the woman, and ran out the room.

Bolt just so happened to have been walking in her direction through the hallway and moved against a wall when the girl almost ran him over. He never been so freaked in his life.

He exhaled sharply, trying to calm down.

"Hey, Bolty!"

"Ah!" The canine barked in alarm and got into a stiff stance just as his friends came closer to him. He relaxed just seeing it was them. "Oh. Please don't scare me like that again. Mika almost killed me just now.", he breathed. Neka laughed a bit. Bolt glared at the kitten. "Don't." "Sorry, Bolt. Mika-chan can be hilarious in her sugar rush state." "Yeah. Hella scary. Were you looking for me?", the larger of the group asked. "As a matter of fact, we were.", Mittens answered smuggly. Bolt blinked. "Uh... why?"

"What has been going with you lately? You haven't been yourself.", Rhino said. Concern was flooding his tone. Bolt stiffened. 'They noticed?' He looked away from them, afraid of how they would react. "Nothing hasn't been going on with me.", he answered quietly. Mittens shook her head. Bolt's posture was giving away his lying. He was being bothered by something. "Bolt, tell us the truth. Something is going on.", she hissed sternly. Bolt snapped his eyes at her. His ears flattened against his head. "No. Nothing is-"

"Bolt! Mittens! Rhino! It's time to go meet the new neighbors!"

Bolt was truly grateful for Penny's outburst. He quickly rushed past Mittens and the others to the outside. Mittens' gaze stayed glued on him. "I don't know what he's hiding, but he won't hide it for very long.", she promised.

Dark golden eyes watched as the two siblings settled down a box. He nuzzled some more into his paws and whimpered just a bit. It was the first day of being in the new house and already he was bored. And a bit... nervous. He moved from Washington, where he had to leave behind some friends. He didn't know if here there would be other animals he could talk to. The area was very rural and a bit urban. Houses were separated by large yards of grass and some had fences.

He spotted a couple of people earlier next door. From a distance they looked to be human girls with a couple pets, but he wasn't sure if he would get along with them.

He hoped.

"Gen! Come here!"

He heard the feminine voice of one of his owners and spotted her by the front door to the house. He trotted over to her and licked her face, making her laugh and rub into his dark chocolate fur.

"Hey, buddy. Looks as if we have neighbors coming over. And it seem they have pets.", she smiled. Gen barked as the girl stood. Another preteen came out the house. He looked exactly like the girl but with much more boyish features. Like her, he had dark black hair, but instead of it going down his back, it was cut just under his ears. They both had blue-violet eyes and fair skin.

"Hey, Joel. You think the neighbors would be nice?", the girl asked. Joel nodded. "I mean they wouldn't be walking to our house, would they, Jona?" Jona chuckled. "I guess you're right! Mom! Dad! The neighbors are here!"

A woman with dark blond hair and a man with black hair appeared from out the house just as Penny, Mika, their parents and pets arrived. "Oh! Seems as if we have company, Victor!", the woman smiled. Rachel smiled. "Hi. Just thought we should come by and welcome you.", she said. Victor, the man smiled and shook her hand. "Thank you. Very considerate of you. I'm Victor, and this is my wife, Katherine.", he introduced.

Katherine smiled and shook Rachel's hand, too. "Nice to meet you. These are our kids, Jona and Joel. And this is our family dog, Gen."

The twins smiled. "It's nice to meet you, ma'am." "It's a pleasure to meet you, too. I'm Rachel, and this is my daughter, Penny." Penny greeted the twins. "Hey. I see you have a dog."

"Yeah. He's been with us for years.", Jona smiled. Penny chuckled. "Same with my dog. Bolt, come here, buddy." Bolt barked and came over to Penny's side. It was then that Gen felt his whole breath being sucked away.
