Learning to be a real Dog

Part 1:

Readers and fellow writers it has come to my attention that in the movie there was a gigantic gap in the storyline. In this story I will fill in the gaps, or at least try to. Hope you enjoy this story. Please review and tell me if it is a good story or not. Now to the story's question. Have you ever wondered what events went on during the part of the movie where Mittens taught Bolt how to be a real dog? I have come up with some possibilities and I am going to share them with you.

"Mittens." Bolt said. Mittens looked at him waiting for him to finish what he was saying.

"If I..." Bolt stuttered. "If I don't chase bad guys then... then what am I? I mean... what...whatt..." Bolt started to say but the sighed cause he was at a lost for words.

"Don't worry about it. Being a dog is the greatest gig in the world." Mittens said. When Bolt didn't reply she continued. "I'll let you in on a little know cat secret; Do you know why we hate dogs?" she asked. "Because we want to be dogs, we have dog complex's." she said answering her own question.

"But... But what do dogs do?" Bolt asked.

"Slobber, sleep, chew shoes. You don't need a master's degree." she replied. "They also do things like... Well follow me I'll show you." she said walking in front of Bolt. "Are you coming?" She asked.

Bolt sighed before getting up and walking towards her. Down the hall and to the right was a room, and this was where Mittens took him.

"On warm days when you run out of water you would drink out of this." Mittens said pointing towards a white porcelain toilet.

"OUT OF THIS!? But...But..." Bolt said loudly.

"Yes out of this." Mittens said.

"Why? I mean who would drink out of this?" Bolt asked.

"Let me tell you something Bolt; when it's hot out and you're out of water, and there is no person home to fill your bowl with fresh water then what would you do?" Mittens asked.

"I guess your right but still that's disgusting." he replied.

"With that aside come with me I'll show you more." she said as she walked back into the hallway. Bolt slowly but surely followed her.

"Pick up the pace Bolt." Mittens said.

"Where are we going?" Bolt asked.

"Back to the kitchen." she replied.

"We just came from the kitchen." Bolt complained.

"Do you want me to show you what dogs do or not?" she asked.

"Yes." Bolt replied.

"Well then you have to listen to what I am telling you." she said. "Now follow me." Mittens added.

Once again they where in the kitchen. Mittens jumped up on the counter.

"What do you have to tell me about this place?" Bolt grumbled.

"Imagine this okay." she started. "You're out of food and you're hungry; what do you do?" Mittens asked.

"That's easy I would use the "Dog Face"." Bolt answered with a laugh.

"Wrong." Mittens said as she walked towards the end of the countertop." This is your dog bowl." she said.

"What is?" Bolt asked.

"The floor." she answered sweeping her paw through the air over the floor. "If it hits the ground it goes to the hound. How cool is that?" Mittens said.

"It's okay I guess." Bolt said with a saddened expression.

"Bolt its okay." Mittens pushed.

"How? Everything in my life is a lie." Bolt said.

"How bad could it be?" Mittens asked.

"Seriously bad." Bolt said. "I mean I missed growing up in a place like this to go live in some guy's fantasy land."

"What can you do?" Mittens shrugged. She knew how he felt because this has happened to her before. (Spoiler New Story coming soon. Get ready for it.)

"I have been kept locked up by my person, and kept away from this beautiful world. Keeping me away from friends and..." Bolt said looking into Mittens eyes. "And you."

Mittens didn't know how to respond, she was shocked, not only did Bolt just say he "liked" her; it was the fact that strangely she liked him too. Mittens just sat there looking back at Bolt.

"Let's finish the tour." Bolt said breaking the silence.

Mittens shoke her head and said "Alright.". 'Get yourself together Mittens.' She thought. "It's not right to date or get with an animal outside of your species." she whispered to herself.

"What was that?" Bolt asked.

"Nothing." She lied." Please follow me." she said in a formal tone.

"Where are we going next?" he asked.

"We have one more place to stop, and that would be the living room." she said.

"What are we going in there for?" he asked.

"There is something that is a serious matter when being someone's pet. There is no and I mean no going to the restroom in the house especially in the living room." Mittens explain. "Wait to be taken outside."

"Well what do you cats do in your life?" Bolt asked trying to learn a little more about Mittens.

"We Cats get most of the attention in the house which is why dogs hate us." she said. "And on cold nights this and a ball of yarn..." she said pointing to a fireplace in the living room.

"You seem to know a lot about these places." Bolt said.

"Yeaaa. I did time in one of these places. Broke out my first chance and I never looked back." Mittens said.

Suddenly they heard a noise coming from behind them. Bolt look around trying to find the source of the voice. "Rhino is awesome, He's so awesome, he's beyond awesome. He's beyawsome." Rhino said and then laughed. "He's ahh..." he said as he turned and noticed Bolt and Mittens behind him.'They must have heard me and ran upstairs.' he thought to himself." I am Beawesome." he said.

Catching the breeze from the vent Bolt pushes Rhino out of the way and sniffs the vent and then exhales.

"Hmm... I think it's about time I introduce to you the dog "Peace de Resistance." Mittens said while trying to pull Bolt away from the vent.

"That felt good." he said.

"I know, but I have something better." Mittens Replied.

When they got back to the living room Mittens jumped up onto a window sill and opened the window.

"Stick your head out." She said pointing to the window.

"Why?" Bolt questioned.

"Just do it." Mittens replied.

"Alright." Bolt said before cautiously walked towards the window. As he stuck his head out he felt the wind rustle through his fur. 'Wow this is defiantly way better than the vent.' He though.

"Huh. Uh. Wow. This… This is awesome." He said behind scattered chuckles.

"And stick your tongue out." Mittens said with a smile. Bolt did as she said, and stuck out his tongue. Instantly he laughed.

"This is totally awesome why don't you try it." He said.

"No thanks it's really a dog thing." Mittens said before cleaning her paws.

"Bolt kept his head out the window until the truck made a stop at a "Waffle World".

"Come on Cujo let's go." Mittens sad as she dropped out of the truck. Bolt soon followed alone with Rhino who was trailing him. Shortly after that Mittens sent Rhino to get another map since they lost the last one on the death train.

Bolt walked up to Mittens and asked "What do dogs do for fun?"

"That's easy." Mittens replied as she started to look around.

"What are you doing?" Bolt asked.

"Looking for a stick." Mittens replied.

"What for?" He asked.

"You'll see." She replied.

Bolt took the chance to look and see where Rhino was: It seemed that Rhino was living up to his nickname, "The Phantom"; (because he knew all about Bolt) Bolt could no see him at all.

"Ahha!" Mittens yelled. Bolt turned to see what happened. She found a stick that was at least a foot in length and at lest one centimeter in diameter.

"Alright Bolt come stand beside me." Mittens said.

"What do you say?" Bolt asked.

"Please." She said sarcastically while rolling her eyes.

"I guess." He said. Heading over to Mittens he caught a glimpse of Rhino; he was acting like a ninja, and acting as though he could blend into the darkness.

"Do you get the concept?" Mittens asked.

"What?" he asked bringing his attention back to Mittens.

"Argh, you dogs." She said. "Alright this is a game humans with with their pets. It's called Fetch."

"Alright." Bolt said.

"Do you know what to do?" Mittens questioned.

"I think." He replied.

Mittens threw the stick and Bolt watched where it landed.

"Well go get it." She said pointing at the stick.

"Why?" Bolt asked.

"'Cause its part of the game." She answered. "You know what I'll get it, but this time listen to what I have to say."

Once again Mittens went over the rules of fetch and what to do with the stick.

"Are you ready?" she asked.

Yes definitely." He said anxiously.

Mittens pulled up the stick and Bolt readied himself to take off. Mittens threw the stick (or so Bolt thought), and he took off running while looking for the stick. All the while Rhino had found a map and rejoined Mittens. Making sure Bolt wasn't looking she brought the stick from behind her back. Both of them broke out in laughter. Bolt looked at them. "Hey what's so funny?" he asked. Then he noticed the stick. "Mittens you sly little cat you." He said with a smile.

"It is so funny. The look on your face." Rhino said behind laughs.

"Okay let's play for real." Bolt said.

"Sorry wags we have to wait the driver is on his way back to the truck.

"Alright guys time to go I guess." Bolt said with a sigh.

Quickly they ran towards the truck. Bolt picked up Rhino's ball and threw it onto the trailer, and then he jumped in.

This is not the end of the story. I will be posting up a part 2.
