It Started In A Barn

Chapter 28

I giggled as I watched the little puppy try to hop in but ended up needing Bolt to pick him up and set him in.

“We'll get ‘ere at some point.” Bolt said as he shut the door

Soul then set me up on her shoulders as we all headed back down.  Gadget had unit hitched her alt from his earlier during our half point to here.

Soul grinned slightly at me as she set me in the passenger seat.

The seat belt then clicked over me as she got in herself. I gen heard snoring behind me and I turned around to see a little toy remote control  car.

“That's Evo. Still asleep it seems, mister lazy.” Soul said with an eye roll but smiled slightly

I smiled and nodded before watching as all the lights passed us.

Soon we were trailing behind Bolt with the rest of them. I could tell Soul was tired because she'd rest her chin on her steering wheel every now and then. Several minutes later, her holoform vanished.

It always makes me jump when I see one of the ‘bots holoform vanish suddenly.

“It's all good Zoe.” Soul cooed through the radio

I hummed and nodded back.

I watched as some more time passed before we pulled into a half full parking lot.

“Good place to blend in,” Soul commented sleepily as she pulled to a stop beside Gadget.

Her alt then turned off and I felt the seat belt click off me.

“Soul?” I asked, but was only met with her breathing softly

I think she was asleep.

I carefully hopped out and gently shut her door. I saw Bolt's and ‘Che’s holoforms hop out of their alts quietly as well.

“That ain't surprisin’.” Bolt commented as he looked at all the alt’s, which each looked powered off. It also looked like Ratchet, Ironhide, Cade, Tessa, and Lucky were asleep in their vehicles as well.

“Just your stuck with us kiddo.” ‘Che said to me

I smiled and nodded.

“C'mon, I know a place.” Bolt said

‘Che then carefully picked me up.

“Gotcha.” She said playfully

I giggled back.

Bolt then lead down a block to a place that I think said a bar and grill. I dunno for sure.

“We're taking a seven year old to a place with a bar.” ‘Che asked with a raised eyebrow

“No,” Bolt retorted, “We're takin’ her to a place ‘hat I know has excellent ice cream.”

“Really?” I asked eagerly

“Well duh, you're a kid.” Bolt laughed back and I grinned

The next thing I know, we're sitting at a table. There were a bunch of people cheering and yelling. But Bolt and ‘Che both stayed close to me, ‘Che beside me and Bolt across from the two of us.

They both had gotten me an ice cream sundae that had all sorts of toppings on it. The two were talking while I ate cheerfully.

Best day ever!

“Ratch’ no doubt is goin’ examine me when we get ‘ere.” Bolt said with a shrug

“Well, duh, you severed ya line goof.” ‘Che said aback

Bolt opened his mouth to reply before somebody drink was then poured on top of him, soaking him.

“Bud Light, not a fan.” Bolt said as he wiped his eyes.

He pulled off his wet hat, and I saw he had black brush like streak on the sides of his hair, just like his paintjob.

“Bolt.” ‘Che warned

Bolt only ignored her as he got up and turned to the folks that were standing behind us.

“H-hey man, we're sorry. We were just getting too far into the game.” a guy stuttered

Bolt closed his eyes for a moment, clenching and unclenching his fists.

“What game?” He then asked suddenly, and ‘Che looked surprise

“Simple game. We were having bets. Toss a ping pong ball into a glass of a drink. Best shot wins.” Another guy said

I watched in amusement as Bolt glanced around quickly, like he was calculating something.

“Fine. Let me join ya in this ‘game’.” Bolt said

“Oh god.” ‘Che said beside me as she pinched the bridge of her nose

“Alright, sure man, whatever you want. What's your bet.” The guy asked

“2 grand. I'll beat all of y'all  with my eyes closed.” Bolt stated

Oh wow, that's a lot.

The guys smirked at each other.

“Alright have at it.”

Bolt smirked as he picked up a ball.

“Oh I will.” He said with a smirk of his own

I watched as Bolt then closed his eyes and bounced the ball, hard.

It bounced off the counter, hit the ceiling fan, hit the top edge of a shelf, bounced off the floor, hit a guy on top of the head, bouncing of the rims of six glasses in a row, and then finally landed in a glass of water.

Bolt grinned as he opened his eyes, looking at the others shocked faces.

“Don't mess with the cowboy.” He said as he slid back into his seat, and ‘Che and I both laughed.

“Well….damn.” one of guys said

Hiya! School has been rough. Boats of homework, so this took some time. Thanks all for the support I've had on this! Below is Bolt's new holoform. I found a new appearance picture that suits him better than Chris. Sorry! Also below is Ricochet. Both collages belong to me, but Ricochet is to @DarkerStars.

Peace out!
