CHAPTER ONE: THE NEW ADVENTURE

"Kids" Bolt called, "can we talk to you?" "I didn't break it!" Blaze called out when all 7 kippens were racing to the living room. "Break what?" Mittens asked with a raised eyebrow. "Uhhhhh… the jingle ball" Blaze invented. "We'll discuss that later" Bolt said, looking at his son, "But now we want to tell you something." "Ooooooh" Mia said, "What is it?" "A new story" Mittens said. The kippens , all of which loved stories, all had a look of pleasure on their faces at the news that they were going to hear a new story. "What's it about?" Lightning asked. "A cat and a dog" Rhino answered. "And a hamster" Bolt reminded him. "All on a grand adventure." Mittens continued. All of the kippens were getting impatient. "Tell us the story" Boots said. "Alright, alright. Bolt, Mittens, and Rhino said together. "Honey, why don't you start?" Mittens said. "I'd be glad to" Bolt responded.

"Well it all started around 2 years ago" Bolt said, "There was a dog that was the star of a TV show about a dog with super powers. However, the dog thought it was all real and that he really did have super powers. One day, during filming, the human star was kidnapped, not really, but her script said that the character gets kidnapped. But to the dog, he thought she really was kidnapped. So the dog broke away from the TV set and ran throughout the building trying to find his person. He found a window and, thinking he could break through, ran into the window, fell into a box and was knocked out. Eventually the dog woke up and realized the box had been closed. He burst out of the box and ran. He stopped to ask some dogs where he was, but while he was stopped, a human attached a leash to the dog's collar. Unhappy about this, as he thought she worked for the green-eyed man, he broke free from the human with the leash still attached to the collar. And he kept running until he got his head caught in a fence." At this point in the story, all the kippens burst out laughing. "Calm down" Mittens said, smirking at the thought herself. As the laughter died down, Bolt continued his story. "Anyway," Bolt continued, "As he was struggling to get his head unstuck, 3 pigeons came and landed in front of the dog. At first, the pigeons were making fun of the dog, but eventually, they decided to help and he soon got his head out of the fence. When he got out, he was wondering why his powers weren't working. He saw a piece of an unknown material stuck to his body. The pigeons told him it was Styrofoam. Because he didn't know his powers weren't real, the dog thought that Styrofoam drained his powers and that it was lethal to him. The dog still thought his person was kidnapped and told the pigeons he needed to find a cat to take him to the green-eyed man. The pigeons then had an idea and brought him to a certain cat."

At this point, Mittens interrupted. "Mind if I take over now honey?" she asked. "Sure Mitt's" Bolt said. "Thanks" Mittens said, turning to look at the kids. "Well, while the pigeons were bringing the dog to the cat, the cat was sitting in an alley that she deemed as 'her alley'. In front of her was a pigeon who was bringing her food." "Why was the pigeon bringing food to the cat mommy?" Mia asked. "She offered protection for the pigeons of New York City in exchange for half their food of the week. Anyway, the last pigeon only brought a small seed to the cat and the cat wasn't happy. She threatened the pigeon and really scared him. Before he left, he told the cat that one day someone would stand up to her, but she didn't think that would happen. But then the dog from before rushed up to her, pushed her against a trashcan and scared her as much as she had just scared the pigeon. He wanted the cat to tell him where the green-eyed man was, but as he wasn't real, she couldn't tell him. As the dog thought she was refusing to tell him and needed persuading, he brought her to a busy overpass and started dangling her over it by the scruff of her neck. She realized the only way to save her life was to tell him what she thought he wanted to know and lied to him by telling him that she knew where his person was and that she would help him. To ensure that the cat didn't escape, the dog took the leash still attached to the collar and tied her to it. After she was tied up, she brought him to a dumpster behind a restaurant where she knew was a map of the entire earth. She thought that once the dog got that map, she would be on her way and never see the dog again. But the dog had other plans. He dragged the cat along with him towards a truck that was headed the way he needed to go. Once on the truck, the cat was still trying to escape from the dog. She was looking through boxes in the truck while the dog was talking about his 'life' and 'powers' to the cat and she eventually found a baseball bat. As she crept up behind the dog to knock him out, a box full of Styrofoam packing peanuts fell and dumped its contents on the cat and dog. The dog, getting scared for his life, opened the door on the back of the truck and jumped out, pulling the cat behind him. After they stopped tumbling down the hill they landed on, the dog heard his stomach growl and thought the cat poisoned him. He threatened the cat to give him the antidote, even though she told him he was just hungry. She told him that to get the 'antidote' to the 'poison', which was just food, he had to beg at the people in a nearby trailer park. Unfortunately, the dog didn't know how to beg, so the cat taught him. Once he had it down, the cat brought him to a bunch of trailers and the human inside, once they saw the dog beg, gave him some of their food."

"I hate to interrupt Mittens," Rhino said, "but can I take over now?" "Sure" Mittens said. "So" Rhino continued, "eventually, the cat and dog reached a trailer belonging to an old woman and around 5 hamsters. There was this one hamster who was sitting next to the window and looked out. Now this hamster loved watching TV and when he saw the dog, he recognized him from the show he was on. The hamster absolutely loved the dog's show and, just like the dog, thought it was all real. So the hamster got into his plastic ball and went outside and went to face his hero. He convinced the dog to allow him to join their journey to return home and 'save' his person. To get back home faster, the dog and hamster decided a train while the cat still tried to get away, with no luck. The hamster told the cat to relax because the dog did this all the time on the show. Then the cat realized that the dog didn't have powers at all. As the train passed by, the dog grabbed the hamster and jumped off a bridge, pulling the cat behind him. When they landed on the train, the cat and dog got tangled onto a ladder because of the leash connecting them. As the train continued on its way, the ladder started to break away from the train. The cat saw that the bolts holding the ladder to the train were coming loose, so she tried holding them in place. The hamster, having not noticed the bolts loosening on their own, thought the cat was trying to loosen them to get rid of the dog. While the hamster was trying to stop the cat from 'loosening' one of the bolts, the other bolt came undone and the ladder swung around into the path of an approaching train signal post with the dog still on it and the leash wrapped around a piece of the ladder." The kippens all stared at Rhino with rapt attention. "As the post drew nearer, the dog managed to pull himself free and dove away just before the ladder and post collided. As the group tumbled off the train and down another hill, the cat climbed a tree and secured herself so the dog couldn't do anything to get her down. When the dog and hamster got up, the hamster told him that he was going to get a ladder."

"Thanks Rhino" Bolt said, "I'll take it for now." "Okay Bolt" Rhino said. "So while the hamster was gone," Bolt started up, "the cat told the dog that his powers weren't real. But the dog didn't believe it. So to prove he was right, the dog tried to use his 'super bark' to get her out of the tree, but it didn't work. While he was repeatedly trying to super bark her down, humans from animal control showed up and took the dog and cat. The cat told the dog that they were going to a place where humans go and get really cute pets, such as the dog, but animals like the cat rarely, if ever, get out. And for the first time since the 2 met up, the dog sensed that the cat was truly scared, and not because of him. Upon hearing what the cat said, the dog tried to use his 'super strength' and 'heat vision' to break them out. He still thought he had super powers, so he thought the containment unit was made of Styrofoam. Eventually the hamster returned with a ladder and saw that they had been taken. So the hamster jumped and scurried up the side of the truck and popped the lid on the dog's containment unit. The dog thought it was his super powers that broke him out of the unit and that he overcame his 'weakness' to Styrofoam, until the hamster told him that he opened the door. Upon hearing this, the dog realized the cat was right and that he was not a super dog. As the hamster told the dog that they should go get the cat, the dog thought that he couldn't do it. The hamster, upon hearing this, turned and gave a speech to the dog, pointing out some of his greatest moments on the TV. Then the dog realized that even though he wasn't a super dog, he had to try to save the cat. As they approached the animal shelter, the dog formulated a plan to get inside and snuck in through the doors with the hamster right behind him. They peered around the wall and saw that a guard was standing watch over the cat room. The dog then had an idea. He told the hamster to go into the dog room with his ball and get their attention to draw the guard away. Once that had been accomplished, the dog snuck into the cat room and found the cat he was looking for. He told her that he realized she was right about him not having powers and he was still going to try to bust her out of the shelter. He managed to open the door of the cage she was in and, rejoining the hamster, proceeded to exit the building. Their path however was blocked by another guard. The first guard closed in on the group, but slipped and an air tank fell onto the dogs tail, burst open, hit the second guard in the head, and rammed a pole, knocking it down and causing someone's car to explode. In all the chaos, the group managed to slip away and ran to the road where a passing truck carrying a house passed and they jumped on. Now that the dog knew his powers weren't real, he didn't know what he was supposed to do with his life. The cat, seeing that he was being bothered by this, helped him out by teaching him about what normal dog's do, such as drinking out of a toilet, eating all food that hits the floor, and sticking his head out of a window. Eventually, they got off the truck and got on another one headed the way they needed to go. And this continued for a few days, until they got to Las Vegas. The next morning, the cat woke the dog up to give him a surprise. When they got to where the surprise, the dog looked and it was 2 cardboard boxes that the cat turned into little homes for the 2 of them. The dog however said that he couldn't stay there and that he needed to get to his person. The cat then brought him to a billboard advertising the dog's show. She told him that all of it, including his person wasn't real, but the dog insisted that the love from his person was real. The cat then told him that she knew how people are. That one day, they love you, but then the next day, they leave their lonely, de-clawed cat to fend for herself on the streets wondering what she did wrong, and take their love with them. The cat then told the dog to go. The dog tried to say something, but the cat just wanted him to go, so he did."

"Honey, I'll take it from here" Mittens said to Bolt. "Alright Mitt's" Bolt said. "After the dog got onto a truck to take him back home, the cat started looking through some dumpsters for some food. While she was looking, the hamster came up and asked where the dog went. The cat told him that the dog wanted to face the green-eyed man himself. However, the hamster didn't think that the dog should, and that being a friend meant being there for each other. The cat realized that he was right and the 2 of them headed off to find the dog.

"Mitt's, I hate to interrupt, but there is a part I need to tell them quick" Bolt said. "Okay honey" Mittens said. "Well, once the truck the dog was on stopped, the dog got off and saw the large Hollywood sign, and the studio where he lived right below. While he was looking, 3 more pigeons landed right in front of him and told him that they had a new idea for his TV show. The dog told them that if they brought him to the studio, he would listen to their idea. The pigeons agreed and led the dog to the studio. When the dog got there, he ran inside to the trailer where he lived and found everything as he had left it. He then heard a voice call his name. It was his person. He ran towards where he heard the voice and…"

"Bolt, I know you have more to say, but if I may interrupt for a quick minute" Rhino said. "Sure Rhino." Bolt said. "So" Rhino began, "the cat and hamster caught up to the dog and were trying to find him around the studio when the hamster saw a villain from the dog's show. Because the hamster thought the actor was a real villain, he went over to attack the actor. The cat however saw a helicopter prop from the show and followed it, hoping she would find the dog. Okay Bolt, you may continue"

"Thanks Rhino" Bolt said, "anyway, the dog ran towards where he heard his person's voice and saw she was with another dog that looked exactly like him. Heartbroken at the thought he was replaced, the dog trotted out of the building with his head hung down low. However, after the dog left, the other dog was called back and the dog's person also turned out to be broken-hearted without her dog. But the dog didn't see this, the cat did, and she ran to find the dog and tell him what she saw. When she found him, he was about a block away from the studio entrance. She started to tell him what she saw when something caught his attention. He smelled smoke and heard his person calling for help. He started racing towards the studio with the cat close behind. The hamster, seeing them, ran to join them. The dog said that he needed to get inside the studio and the hamster raced ahead and got in the doorway just as a beam fell and landed on top of the ball, breaking it. The cat ran and grabbed the hamster out of the ball just as the dog got inside the building and the ball was destroyed, dropping the beam all the way to the ground, blocking the door. The dog looked around the burning building until he saw his person and barked. He ran to his person and she embraced him in a big hug. The person, unable to see clearly through the smoke gave the dog the end of a rope and the dog led her through the building until they reached a wall with a vent. The person dropped to the floor, losing air fast, and lost consciousness. The dog, seeing this, knew he needed to get help. He went to the vent and barked into it so the bark went through the vent so people could find them. After a few barks, he passed out as well. The next thing he knew, he was in an ambulance, lying on his person's lap with the cat and hamster sitting on a seat right next to him. A few days later, his person and her mom adopted the cat and hamster and they all moved to a big house." Bolt finished. "And they all lived happily ever after" Bolt, Mittens, and Rhino said together. The kippens all cheered. "Great story" Blaze said. "Where did you ever come up with that?" Lightning asked. "Well…" Bolt said, looking at Mittens. "It is the story of our lives and how we met" Mittens said, to which all kippens looked amazed. "Really?" Sun and Moon said at the same time. "Really" Rhino answered. "Wow" Boots and Thunder said together. "Why didn't you ever tell us this before now?" Mia asked. "We wanted to make sure you were ready" Bolt said to his daughter. "Now off to bed" Mittens said, ushering the kippens to their beds. "OK mommy" the kippens said in unison as they headed off to bed. "Good night" Bolt said to his kids. "Good night daddy" the kippens responded.

"Well that went well" Bolt said. "Yeah" Rhino said as he went to his spot on the couch, "Well I'm going to sleep. Good night" "Good night Rhino" Bolt and Mittens said together. "What do you say we get to bed" Bolt said. "Sure. And what do you say we go to 'our place' tomorrow and get away for a few hours." Mittens said seductively. "Okay then" Bolt said smirking, "After breakfast, we'll have Rhino watch the kids for a few hours and we'll go."

SO THAT WAS CHAPTER 1. PLEASE REVIEW. CHAPTER 2 WILL BE UP NEXT SATURDAY/SUNDAY.
