The following events take place between the Clone Wars movie and season one.

Prologue

"Ah, there you are!" a bald doctor said, entering with his assistant into the hospital room, currently holding a young, red-haired girl, named Penny lying in bed.

Doctor Bettings, Penny's personal physician, had blond hair wrapping around the back of his head with a mustache, and wore glasses, and a navy blue tie with red stripes. He, along with two other surgeons, was the one who performed the surgery on Penny's face after the accident. She and her American White shepherd, Bolt, were in pursuit of one of Calico's agents at night by a harbor, when he the agent led her into a heavy traffic intersection. Now normally Penny was able to dodge cars and trucks on her scooter with ease, especially with Bolt. But the dark minion had deployed small balls, which were actually miniature mines, out on the road in front of her. Penny had attempted to dodge them to no avail, the mines detonated on both her and nearby cars. She lost control of her scooter was sent sailing off into the intersection, bashing her face on a passing truck, falling onto the hood of a car, and rolling into the explosions. Bolt was horrified. He had failed to protect Penny, and almost vomited at the sight of her disfigured face. However, some by-passers did vomit, as a young couple hastily took the unconscious girl to the hospital, leaving Bolt behind. She wasn't expected to survive, but if she did it still was still expected that her face would never return to normal. But she had come at just the right time, Bettings had managed to repair her completely, although she had to wear a full head bandage for two weeks. The linen had dampened with her tears for fear she was disfigured forever, even with the greater fear that Bolt was all alone out in the city. Which was why Bettings was eager to give her the good news and remove the bandages. Penny lifted her head from a deep sleep. "It's time to get those bandages off."

Penny shot up like a rocket from her bed, stopping when her head starting throbbing again. She sat up in her bed, as her doctor carefully cut the cloth and began unraveling it. "Fortunately, your injuries were not as...severe as we had previously thought my dear," the doctor continued, as the blinding light hit Penny's eyes. "And we didn't have to completely reconstruct your face." After he disposed of the bandages, he turned to his dark-skinned assistant who handed him a mirror which he gave to Penny. "Have a look."

She brought it up to her face, and released a large sigh to see her face just as it had been. "Well…" She rubbed her sweat-covered cheek to ensure it was real, then turned back to Bettings beaming. "Thank you so much, doctor, I…" she started.

"It was my pleasure, you got here just in time. Any later and it would have been much worse," Bettings said. "Now we've already contacted your family, and your father's insurance should cover this."

"Okay," Penny answered with relieve.

"Well, we think you're pretty stable by now," the female assistant continued. "Now, get dressed and we'll get you something to eat." Penny rose with glee at the thought of actual food that wasn't through a mechanical straw. Penny quickly got dressed back into her usual clothes, a red hoodie with a black shirt underneath, and her jet-black jeans, which she had decided to wear instead of her usual striped grey and black stockings that covered her legs. Penny sat back in her bed seeing Betting and the assistant re-enter. "How do you feel?" Bettings questioned, as a slim man wheeled in her food cart

"Fine," she answered. "You know, it's almost too bad. With a new face Calico wouldn't have been able to recognize me. Not that I'm not happy." Penny then looked over at the man by the cart, wondering what had been prepared for her. He turned around to reveal that he was holding a vaccine injector, containing a green liquid, as he started laughing evilly. Penny looked closer to see his left eye was green. "Calico!" Penny snarled. He just kept laughing as he advanced towards Penny with the needle.

"Hey! Who are you? What do you think…" the doctor was cut off as he and the nurse suddenly found themselves at gunpoint by two of Calico's men.

Calico got nearer and nearer until he was right over the bed, he lunged the needle forwards. But then, two green beams shot through the window and vaporized the container. Calico lurched back and turned to see where the lasers had come from. The source suddenly came bursting through the window and pinned Calico down on the floor. "BOLT!" Penny cried smiling. Before turning to his mistress, Bolt hastily dispatched the two henchmen holding Bettings and his assistant, the two stumbled back in surprise. Penny leaped out of bed and embraced her companion, but Calico was regaining his footing. Penny turned back to the shaken doctors, "Doctor Bettings, I have to go. I'll get back to ASAP," she yelled from the other end of the room. Bolt had just super-barked a hole in the wall. The two jumped out and Penny closed her eyes before hitting the ground. But something strange happened, they hadn't hit the ground, they weren't that high up. She opened her eyes to see they were hovering just above the ground, surrounded by a blue light, as she looked over at Bolt in confusion, the suddenly began ascending, into the air.

Calico looked out the hole in the wall to see it all. "What the…" he stuttered. Penny screamed as she and Bolt were both sucked into one of the three curious looking ships. After they were inside, the blue light was cut off, and the three ships blasted off into space. Calico stood in shock as he removed his mask, then sneered, "Aliens."
