Bolt The Super Dog

Chapter One

Being a real dog was awesome. Okay. Maybe Bolt always had been a real dog but he definitely hadn't been living in the real world and if he had never jumped into that shipping box, he would still be living believing that he had super powers. The only superpower that he needed was the incredible loving bond he shared with Penny.

He loved doing dog things like playing ball and catching frizbees and being given treats from underneath the table and especially this. He loved lying with his toy carrot atop Penny's bed. Penny also drew so much joy from her best friend being there with her. Bolt looked at Penny as he snuggled down next to her and she laughed.

"Hey, boy," she said as she kissed his forehead. "Are you feeling sleepy, Bolty?" she asked and Bolt yawned and stretched his paws out onto the pillow next to her. Penny kissed his forehead and Bolt settled down. "Let's get some rest and then tomorrow morning we can take you on your walk."

Bolt pushed his head against hers and licked her hand. She giggled, hugged him and then let him go back to sleep. She was happy to be living a normal life with him again. Bolt's disappearance had broken her heart and her heart had only felt further damage when they had replaced him. Now that she could live a life as a teenage girl with Bolt beside her, she felt happier than before.

She was right. Taking Bolt home with her was really the best thing that she could have done. It was the best choice she had made in her life, other than leaving a TV show which really didn't seem to care about her. Penny closed her eyes and started to sleep. Bolt felt his tail wag as he also fell asleep. His life every day seemed so good. He couldn't wait to see what the next day offered. He hoped it involved some time to play.

"I have you now, Bolt," the green-eyed man said as he stood in front of Bolt and the white dog looked up at him. He had to use his powers to defeat his greatest enemy. Bolt sat still and then barked loudly, the green-eyed man froze and then began laughing.

"See," he said and Bolt took a few steps back, he felt like a normal dog again but then he should have realized that he didn't have his powers. His powers had all proved to be false. Bolt whined as he felt his ears drop. "You aren't special. You aren't super."

Bolt charged at him but felt the green eyed man to scoop him up with one hand and hold the scrambling puppy up with two fingers behind his neck.

"Pathetic," he laughed as Bolt growled again. His front paws started trying to hit the man but he felt the man to throw him onto the ground and send one of his cats after Bolt. Bolt looked around for a means of escape. He saw a door with a glowing blue light and ran in that direction. He felt his paws speed up as he got to the door and he ran through it. He panted as he stopped and took a look back.

Somehow he felt powerful again. He felt as if he really could take on the green-eyed man but as he turned to where the door had been, it had vanished. Bolt whined but as the blue light turned golden, he started to wake up. The puppy whined with the sun in his eyes.

As Bolt woke up, he scratched behind his ear. Something felt different and as he faced the window he could see that it was early morning already. He felt a need to use the doggy door to do his business and so leapt out of the bed. He rushed forwards but then found that his feet were moving incredibly fast. He zipped out of the door and froze as he stood outside. He ran from one side of the yard to the other and his eyes widened.

He was actually running very fast, as fast as he had believed himself to be when he had been on the show. He shook his head and his ears started to pick up sounds from all around him. His eyes widened. This wasn't what he was used to. Well, there was one thing to try to see if this was real or he was just panicking about the dream. He looked at the fence of the yard and then started to concentrate. As he looked at it, the fence started to burn and he jumped back frightened.

He could hear people yelling and soon Penny's mother had come out with a huge bucket of water and poured it over the fire and next got the hose, extinguishing it and looking around for the punk who tried to harm her and her family. Bolt backed away nervously and went inside.

"Booolt," Mittens said slightly annoyed as she woke up, "What's with all the racket? Some of us are trying to get our beauty sleep. Did you have another bad dream or something?"

"They're back," Bolt asked in horror and Mittens looked at him confused, she licked her paw to clean the sleep out of her eyes. "My superpowers," he attempted to explain and Mittens jumped down opposite him.

"Bolt, you remember that you never had superpowers, don't you?" Mittens tried to remind him and Bolt froze.

"Well, now I do," he said and Mittens took a look outside. Her eyes widened. He wasn't making this up. Somehow he did have superpowers.
