Champ:Dad, can I ask you something?
Bolt:What is it?
Champ:What was Mom like?
Bolt:You want to know more about your mother?
Champ nodded his head. Bolt couldn't help but smile as he licked his son's cheek.
Bolt:She was incredible, smart, brave, and very energetic. Every time I look at you, it's like she's still with me.
Champ then hugged his father tightly.
Champ:I love you, dad.
Bolt: I love you too, my little thunder-bolt.
Bolt:Even in death, your mother is still with us. She will forever remain in our hearts.
Champ:So, what's next?
Bolt:Well, I kinda wanna see how fast you are.
Champ:Why?
Bolt: You'll see.
Bolt brought Champ to a massive open field.
Champ:How are you gonna test my speed?
Bolt then brought out a stopwatch.
Champ:Where did you get a stopwatch from?
Bolt:I keep this on me to test the speed of the champions.
Champ: I'm ready.
Bolt:Now if you don't do well on your first try, don't be upset, it took me quite some time to become as fast as I am right now.
Champ:I understand.
Bolt started the stopwatch as Champ immediately took off in a burst of speed.
Bolt:Whoa!
Champ kept running as fast as he could, then he quickly returned to his father.
Champ:How was that?
Bolt's jaw dropped as he looked at the stopwatch.
Bolt:I don't believe it.
Champ:What is it?
Bolt:(Chuckles) You've done something the champions haven't been able to do.
Champ: What's that?
Bolt:You actually broke my record.
Champ: Really?
Bolt:I'm proud of you, Champ. And so would your mother be.
Champ:I wish I actually got to meet her.
Bolt:Me too.
Champ:Do we head back to the cave now?
Bolt:Not yet, now you're gonna learn how to hunt.
Champ:Does that mean I have to kill something?
Bolt:We must be willing to do anything to survive, but as long as you don't overhunt, the balance of nature will not be broken. Dying is a natural part of life, some have a short lifespan while some have a longer one.
Champ:Then what will we be hunting?
Bolt then sniffed the ground.
Bolt:I smell deer nearby.
Champ and Bolt slowly walked through the forest, finding one deer eating.
Bolt:Watch and learn.
Suddenly, Bolt shot green beams out of his eyes, killing the deer.
