The usually happy hamster sat alone thinking about how much of a fool he
has been over the years. All of the other ham-hams were happy and starting
families. "Oh Bijou what did I do wrong? I thought it was ME you loved..."
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
"Hamtaro! I have great news!"
"What Bijou?"
"Are you sure you want to know Hamtaro?"
"YES! The suspense is killing me!"
"I am going to be a ham- mother! And..."
"Wow Bijou that's amazing news!" He shouted, as he was about to embrace his friend, and lover, in a hug.
"And Boss is going to be a ham- father!" Those words made Hamtaro stop in his tracks.
"Aren't you so happy Hamtaro?"
"Oh... congratulations, well... I have to go Bijou. Before Laura knows I'm gone." He said and turned away before Bijou could see the tears well up in his extremely round eyes.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Hamtaro thought of that day, and it still killed him in side. 'Why couldn't those babies be mine? I can't even count the times I lent myself to bijou for her pleasure or comfort when things got rough (A/N is that possible? Well. It is here...whoa.. Hamtaro sounds like a ham whore...=/). That memory brought back an even more painful memory, their wedding.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Bijou walked down the red carpet with a white veil and white bows. Hamtaro stood next to Boss as she made her way to the alter. ' Why did I say I would be the best ham?' The whole ceremony was a blur to him he came back to his senses as the worst part of the ceremony took place.
"Do you Boss, take Bijou to love and to hold till death do you part?" Elder ham said. He finally was able to stay awake for the whole event.
"I do."
"Do you Bijou take Boss to love and to hold till death do you part?"
"I do."
'NOOO BIJOU!!!! YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO LOVE BOSS! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO LOVE ME!'
"Opps! I forgot to ask if any one had any objections against these to ham- hams being wed," Hamtaro's hand shot up like a rocket.
"Hamtaro?" Boss questioned.
"Uh... sorry Boss, my paw is pretty twitchy now-a-days. "
"Phew..." Boss said under his breath
"Now, Is there any non-twitching ham-hams out there with an objection?" "Well, by the power with in me, I pronounce you ham-ham and wife! You may now kiss the bride!!" Boss blushed so Bijou leaned in for the kiss.
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
That kiss. It seemed to last forever. 'I miss the ham-hams,' He said as he lowered his head. All of them had someone to hold, someone to love, someone to help them with their problems.
"Where's my ham-ham that I could hold, love and help me? Where is anyone when I need them? I was always there when they needed help..." All of the ham-hams were taken in this town. Sandy and Maxwell, Pashmina and Dexter, Penelope and Cappy, Snoozer and Sleepy, Oxnard and Pepper, Howdy and Doody, and of course Boss and Bijou. Panda, Stan and Jingle, They all moved. Well at least Panda and Stan. Jingle is always wondering around so who knows about him. "Stan, all that time I spent looking for you because Sandy missed you, then you go and move." The door opened and Hamtaro thought it was Laura. But it was only her mom bringing in Laura's laundry. "I miss Laura, ever since her and Travis started dating she doesn't play with me anymore. She doesn't even tell me how her day was, like she used to...." He said feeling the tears well up in his eyes. He couldn't go out with Laura any more because she always shut her windows and door and any other opening he could get out of. He thought of the day when he helped Bijou get out of her house. The first of many times he would help Bijou. He thought of all of them. Each time he thought Bijou would be with him. "But Boss always came at the end and took the credit. That's why Boss has Bijou and I don't. That's why I sit here day in and day out, living on memories of the good times," He said as tears rolled down his face. He heard a small tap at the window. He looked back and Boss was there. 'Bijou is probably giving birth and he wants me to be the God- ham for one of them.'
"Hamtaro!" Boss called through the window.
'Go away Boss.' Hamtaro thought, and burrowed his head deep into his fur. "Hamtaro?" Hamtaro looked up at his old friend. He thought of going to the window to see what's up, but instead he turned around and walked to the farthest corner of his cage. "Hamtaro?" Boss said one last time before leaving.
"BIJOU!!! WHAT DOES BOSS HAVE THAT I DON'T? WHY DID YOU CHOOSE HIM INSTEAD OF ME? I DID EVERY THING FOR YOU! I WAS ALWAYS THERE WHEN YOU NEEDED ME!! But now that I need you... you aren't there. No one is." He said as even more tears came down his furry cheeks. The door opened again and this time it was Laura. Hamtaro's tears dried away and face lit up hoping tonight was the night Laura would play with him.
"Hey Hamtaro! I had a great time today with Travis you know. I hope tomorrow will be as great as today was!" she said as she climbed into bed and fell asleep.
Hamtaro's joyous feelings were crushed. "Maybe I should have told her my feelings straight up. Instead of pretending I didn't like her, even though everyday I longed to hear her call my voice over and over again. Maybe I should have told them ALL my true feelings about things, even if they were small and simple. Maybe...just maybe, I shouldn't have been so helpful and caring." he paused and looked around the room, "How would a ham-ham commit suicide?"
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
"Hamtaro! I have great news!"

"Are you sure you want to know Hamtaro?"
