"Hamtaro!" yelled the voice of the grouchy, Mr.Grumpy. (Okay, thats his nickname! His real name, people don't want to say for some strange reason..) " Get back here with my apples!"
The old, grumpy man was trying his best to catch up with a young boy.
The young boy had orange ears, (They are hamhuman!) and half orange, half white, messy hair. He was wearing an unironed orange teeshirt, that was dirty, and of course, stained. Plus, he was also wearing a pair of blue, dirty, jeans, that was ripped a little, and had holes in the knee part of the jeans. And, as for his shoes, he wasn't wearing any! He was plain, barefoot! Now, who was this young boy? Why, none other than Hamtaro!
Hamtaro was laughing his head off, as he looked back at Mr.Grumpy, who was trying his best to catch up.
"Sorry, Mr.Grumpy!" he called back. " But, when a boys got to eat, a boys got to eat!"
Then, Hamtaro grabbed of the apples he stole from Mr.Grumpy, popped it in his mouth, and took a bite.
"You better stop eating those apples!" Mr.Grumpy said. " It took me a whole hour to get the apples, and buy them in the store! And trust me, that was one line at the store! A LONG LINE YOU HEAR!"
But Hamtaro, didin't listen, he just kept eating the apple, as if he didin't have a care in the world. Then, still eating the apple, he jumped up into a tree, looking down at a fuming Mr.Grumpy.
"Why you little selfish brat!" he yelled up at Hamtaro, shakeing his fist.
"Hey, I am not selfish!" yelled back Hamtaro. " Lets see, I stole three apples from you, ones for me, and ones for one, beautiful young lady!"
"Wait, what about the other apple?" said Mr.Grumpy.
Hamtaro shrugged.
"I don't know, I just stole that third one to annoy you!"
Then, Hamtaro laughed, jumped down from the tree, and ran off.
"Why you little troublemaker!" yelled Mr.Grumpy. " What girl would be crazy enough to fall for a guy like you anyway?"
"A nice girl!" called back Hamtaro. "A beautiful, young girl, whos smart, pretty, and funny, and cute, and pretty, and..did I mention pretty? Oh, and one more thing! She has a beautiful name! Its..Bijou!"
71717717171717171717777171717
"Ah!" said Bijou, pushing open her bedroom windows. " What a beautiful day!"
Yes, it was beautiful day! The sun was shineing, the birds were chirping away, flowers were blooming beautifuly,Bijou was, looking outside her window, letting the slight wind make her platinum blond hair fly, her emerald green eyes shineing.
It seemed as if Bijous little moment of peice would never end, until she heard a familer voice...
"Hi, Bijou!"
"Eeeeeekkkkkkkkkk!" screamed Bijou nearly falling over. Luckily, she kept her balance.
"Chill out!Its me!" then, out of nowhere, Hamtaro appeared at the top of the tree near Bijous bedroom window.
"Oh, Hamtaro!" said Bijou. " You scared me!"
"Sorry, but, I wanted to give you something!" said Hamtaro. Then, he pulled something out of his pocket, and showed it to Bijou. " Ta dah!"
Bijou gave him a puzzled look.
"A...pencil?"
"Oh, sorry, wrong pocket!" said Hamtaro, putting back the pencil. Then, he tried his other pocket, and pulled out a apple!
" Oh, my Hamtaro!" Bijou said. " An..apple! Wow, how romantic!..Sort of!"
Hamtaro grinned and handed Bijou the apple, and Bijou took the apple, and took a big bite of it.
" You know what I relized?" Hamtaro said.
"What?" Bijou said, who seemed to love the apple she was eating.(For she wouldn't stop eating it!)
"The apple and you are alike!"
"Um..what?" said Bijou, looking awfully puzzlled." How the heck are we alike?"
" Well, apples are loved by everybody, and there a precious fruit!" said Hamtaro. " And you, my dear Bijou, are loved by everybody, and your very precious!"
"Oh Hamtaro..." said Bijou, blushing as red as the apple she was eating. " Your starting to sound like Stan when he talks to me after Pashmina dumps him!"
" Yeah, except I'm better, right?" said Hamtaro with a grin.
"Much better!" said Bijou.
"Bijou! Oh Bijou my sweet!" called a voice.
"Oh, no!" cried out Bijou. " Its Boss! Quickly, hide! If he sees you, your dead!"
"Where should I hide? Where should I hide?" Hamtaro said, now going a little frantic, for there was no way he was going to make Boss a mad ham human again!
"I don't know, somewhere!" Bijou said, who was also going a little frantic as well.
Suddenly, Bijou could hear her bedroom doorknob start to open...
"Oh my gosh! Hes coming!" said Bijou. Then, she quickly pushed Hamtaro away,
"Bijjjjjooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Hamtaro yelled, for Bijou had pushed him so hard, that he had fallen off the tree, and was now falling to the ground.
"Sorry, Hamtaro!" Bijou whispered down to Hamtaro.
"Bijou?"
Bijou turned around and saw a young adult hamhuman who was about nineteen to twenty-one years old. He had short, dark brown hair, and tan ears with dark brown blotches at the top of them.He was wearing a tan, teeshirt, and blue jeans. And he was looking at Bijou with his dark blue eyes.
"Oh, why, hello Boss!" said Bijou. " W-what brings you here?"
"Um, don't you remember?" said Boss. " Your parents invited me over to dinner at your place!"
" Um, yes, yes of course. " said Bijou. " Hey, wait a minute! What dinner? They didin't tell me anything!"
"They didin't?" said Boss.
"No!" Bijou said. Then, she groaned. This was the third time her parents had tried to set her up on a date with Boss. They wanted her to marry him, for he was what they called, " there kind of type", but did Bijou love Boss? No. But did her parents care? Not a chance!
" Oh, I am so sorry, I guess you don't want me here." said Boss, then he hung his head, and started to leave.
"Wait, Boss!" Bijou called. She didin't mean to make Boss feel bad. Just because she didin't love him, didin't mean she hated him! " Fine, lets go to dinner."
"Ok, meet you at the dinner table!" said Boss, then he practily ran out of the room.
" Why that little faker!" said Bijou. " He was just acting!"
Then, Bijou took, a deep breath and started to walk down to the dinner table.
"Lets get this over with." she muttered.
717177171777717717171771717
"Ah,Bijou!" said Mr.Ribon, Bijous father. " How nice of you to join us!"
" Thank you father." Bijou muttered, as she took a seat next to her mother, Mrs.Ribon.
"Oh, Bijou! Why don't you take a seat next to Boss!" Mrs.Ribon said.
"But..but..." Bijou hesitated, but finally, she gave up, and sat down next to Boss.
From then on, the dinner was spent in silence. Well, at least for about 10 minutes, then, Bijous father spoke up.
" So, where would you two like your wedding?" he said to Bijou and Boss.
"Father!" Bijou said angrily.
"We plan on having it in Hawaii." Boss said.
"Boss!" Bijou said angrily.
"Bijou!" Boss said back.
"Bijou!" Mr and Mrs.Ribon said.
"Mother, father!" said Bijou.
"Everybody!" a nearby waiter. ( Yes, they are so rich, they have waiters that serve them food!)
"Waiter!" Bijou, Boss, and Bijou mother and father said.
" SHUT UP!" yelled another waiter. And thats, when everyone finally kept quiet.
" Now, father," said Bijou. " Me and Boss just met 8 months ago! And you are already talking about marriage?"
"Why yes!" Mr.Ribon said. " I mean, who else are you going to marry? Boss is absolutely perfect for you!"
" No he isn't!" Bijou said back, her voice full of anger.
Everyone stared at her with complete shock, not believing what they just heard. Bijou, sweet, polite Bijou, talked back to her own father! And, she just said that Boss wasn't right for her?
"Bijou!" yelled Mrs.Ribon. " How dare you be so rude! You know Boss is right for you!"
"No he isn't!" Bijou said again. " I have no passion for him! I do not love him! Why can't you two get that through your head!"
Agian, the next few moments were spent in dead silence. Mr.Ribon was stareing at Bijou, with his eyes bluging with anger. Mrs.Ribon was just stareing in disbelief. And Boss, poor Boss, his face was full of hurt and pain.
Bijou seemed mostly angry for the first couple moments of silence, but when she relized what she just said, she covered her mouth.
"W-wait! I-I didin't mean, I mean, I didin't mean to say that..." Bijou said between stutters.
"Say no more." Boss muttered sadly. Then, he stood up from his chair, and looked over at Bijous parents. " Thank you two, for having me here for dinner. But, I guess after what Bijou just said, I have no need to be here."
"Wait, Boss," said Bijou quietly.
But Boss completely ignored Bijou. Instead, he just took out a small box, and quickly handed it over to Bijou.
"Here." He said. " I was going to give you these, but, I really don't see why I should since you seem to dispise me! So, please, since you won't accept them, you may give them to your dear, mother. Now..goodbye."
Then, in a flash Boss ran out of the dining room. Bijou, and her parents just stared after him in shock and, of course, silence again.
Bijou wanted to run after him and apoligize, but, it seemed after she heard her frontdoor slam, that it was too late. She bit her lower lip, and looked down at the small, little, box Boss gave her. She slowly opened it, and gasped. In it were two, very pretty gold earring shaped liked hearts.
"Oh my," Bijou said, looking at the earrings. " They are so pretty.."
"Ahem." Mrs.Ribon coughed. Bijou looked over at her, and she pointed inside the box.
As Bijou looked, she found a small note. She slowly opened the note, and read what it said,
Dear Bijou,
Listen, I know you seem to not love me so far, but, I hope these work.
Listen, you may not love me, but I love you. You are very pretty, and, to show how much I love you. Here, is a pair of earrings.
Sincerely,
Your, hope-to-be-soon-boyfriend-,
Boss.
Bijou was speechless after she read the note. And she couldn't believe, that she actully said that she had no passion for Boss,..in front of him!
"Well, I hope your happy!" Mr.Ribon said. " You just blew away the perfect man for you!When, you just now noticed you love him!"
"Dad..please. Look, your right. What I did was very wrong, but, I didin't mean to say it!I really didin't!" Bijou said. " And..I do love him."
" Really? Why, thats great! Here, I'll go get the phone!" Mrs.Ribon said.
"No, mother, let me finish." Bijou said. " I-I love Boss only like a brother. Not how you think."
"What! No!" Mr.Ribon yelled. " Bijou, who could you possibily love other than Boss?"
"Hamtaro!" Bijou said, then covered her mouth in complete shock. "What was that for? I don't love Hamtaro! No matter how cute, and funny,and handosme he is!..Oh no! I think I DO love him!" Bijou thought.
But Mr. and Mrs. Ribon jsut burst into laughing.
"Bijou! I can not believe you actully love that little savage!" Mrs.Ribon said. " He is completely wrong for you!"
"No he isn't1 You don't know him!"
"Bijou, he is completely wrong for you!" Mr.Ribon said. " Boss, his family is rich, he is a complete gentleman, and, you do have to admit, he is very handsome for you! And Hamtaro, oh lets see, he is no where near rich, he is nowhere near a gentleman, and he is, like I said before, a savage!He gets into trouble a lot! Now you Bijou my dear, you are rich, like Boss, you are very polite, like Boss. And, you are a very pretty young lady, like Boss! Errr...I mean, not saying Boss is pretty or anything, but..ok fine! I will just say you are both good looking! And Hamtaro, that little troublemaker, is the complete oppossite of you ! Now wouldn't you want to marry somone who is, well, more like you?"
"Your fathers right, Bijou." Mrs.Ribon said. " Your life is rich, and full of politeness and matters! And that life is your right life! Boss is right for you!"
Bijou wanted to say something back. She wanted to stand up for Hamtaro..but she was to busy thinking. She was too busy thinking that maybe...maybe...her dad was right. After all, Hamtaro was not like her at all, and Boss, he was a whole lot like her! So, possibly, her and Boss, well, are meant to be...
"Well?" Mr.Ribon said, interupting Bijous thoughts. " What do you say?"
"Nothing." Bijou said. "Except..dad, mom, you are...I guess right"
Mr.Ribon grinned, jumped up, and hugged Bijou like there was no end.
"Thats my girl!" he said. " Now, don't you think you should go and apoligize to your dear love?"
Bijou gulped, and slowly nodded, then, she stood up from her chair, and walked just about as slow as a snail, up to her room.
7171771717171717171717177
"Ok, great! Glad you forgive me Boss!" Bijou said. " Now, I'll see you tomorrow, ok? Well, bye now!"
Then, Bijou hung up her phone, and walked over to her bedroom mirror.
"Hmm..." she said, putting in the gold earrings Boss gave her, in her pure white ears. " Mrs.Boss...Mrs.Boss...do I really love Boss?"
"Do you WHAT!"
Bijou screamed, and nearly fell over. But when she saw, it was only Hamtaro, who suddenly appeared in her bedroom window, she calmed down.
"Hamtaro, you always do scare me!" she said. " Now why are you still here?"
"You pushed me to the ground remember? It took me a while to heal you know!" Hamtaro said. " Anyway, why are you saying you love Boss?"
Bijou took a deep breath, then grabbed Hamtaro, pulled him to her bed, sat him down on her white bedspread, and explained the whole situation of what happened at dinner that evening.
"I see. " Hamtaro said. " So, thats what your parents think of me huh?"
"Yep." Bijou said.
"Aw cats, I thought they actully liked me..." Hamtaro said. " Hey wait, did I hear you say you..agreed with your parents when they said you weren't right for me?"
Bjou gulped and slowly nodded.
"Y-yes." Bijou said. " And Hamtaro, I am very sorry, but..I-I-I don't think we should see eachother anymore!"
"WHAT!" Hamtaro exclaimed. " Bijou! Do you even hear what you are saying? You don't love Boss!You don't think I am a savage!"
"You are right. I don't." Bijou said. " But, Hamtaro, you get into trouble a lot, and, well, I don't. And Boss doesn't either so...we are not meant to be. We are not alike at all! And, just think, I belong to a rich life, full of politness, and you..don't!"
"So what?" Hamtaro said back. Then, he put Bijous delicate hand in his and said, "Bijou it doesn't matter if we are alike or not alike at all! Plus, how do you know the only life for you is riches? What matters as if we really care about eachother, we should keep on seeing eachother! So please Bijou, don't listen to your parents, you do not want to marry Boss!"
"Hamtaro," Bijou said softly taking her hand off of Hamtaros. " I'm not saying Iam going to marry Boss, I am just saying, that, you and me shouldn't see eachother anymore. We are not meant to be! And, yes, I am sorry, I do belong to a rich world. I do! That is my only world! So, I am very sorry Hamtaro, you may have been very kind to me over the years, but, now, that I see we are not alike, and therefore never can be wed...goodbye. I will never forget you."
Hamtaros jaw dropped. He felt his eyes hot from tears.
"B-Bijou..." Hamtaro said. But Bijou stopped him from saying anymore.
"Bye, Hamtaro." she said, then, she stood up, and started to walk out of her bedroom. But, before she did, she turned around back to Hamtaro to say one more thing.
"You can leave from my window. If my parents see you, you are dead."
Then, after Bijou gave Hamtaro her sweet smile, she walked out of the room, and slammed the door shut.
Out of the room...
"That darn Hamtaro!" Bijou said. " Why does he have to be so cute!"
And, when Bijou said that, she didin't notice the fact that Hamtaro heard her...
Back in the room...
Hamtaro was smileing. He loved it when Bijou said that. That darn Hamtaro! He loved it! It was like him and Bijous special line! Err..I mean, just Bijous line!And he would certainly miss it when she said that..
"I wish there was something I could do." he said. "Something to impress her, something to show her a life besidesriches,and make her change her mind...hey wait a minute, thats it!"
Then, Hamtaro ran out of the door, and hugged Bijou tight.
"Hamtaro!" Bijou said. "What the..."
"Pack your bags Bijou!" Hamtaro said. "You and me are going on a adventure!"
