Chapter 1

Pashmina walked along the tunnels to the clubhouse with her friends. Today all of them were talking about staying at Hamtaro's place. All their owners seem to have been going somewhere and they let Laura take care of them while they're away. The ham hams who are going to stay at Laura's are all the girl ham except Crystal, Maxwell (his owner had to go out again and left him with Hillary.), Stan, and Cappy (His owners are on vacation.). That's when Stan motioned for Pashmina to come to him. She decided to go to him. I wonder what he wants? When she saw Stan he looked very sad. Like there was something he couldn't keep to himself any longer.

"Stan what is it? Are you sick?" He shook his head. "Don't tell me Noel is actually bringing you with him?"

"Its not that its just that…I saw this girl ham yesterday. I've decided to dump you and live with her so now I'm leaving." Pashmina began to laugh. Stan looked puzzled. "Heke?"

"Is that all? You really had me worried for a moment there."

"Heke?"

"Sorry the girls are waiting me. Gotta go!" Stan didn't know what to say. As he got up and walked away many of the ham hams acted the same way.

"Hey Stan you leaving your girl ham again?" Boss said.

"You'd better be back later Stan. You know how sad Pashmina gets when you're not back." Panda told him. Even his own son reacted the same way.

"Where are you going dad!" Kyle asked.

"I'm leaving."

"Again?"

"Heke?"

"Sorry gotta go." Kyle leaves. As Stan walks away he begins wondering why everyone was acting so strange.

"Kyle, the ham hams, even Pashmina. Normally when I tell her that I'm seeing another girl ham she starts to cry but this time she didn't believe me. Why doesn't anyone believe me anymore."

"Maybe its 'cause this is the yer tenth time leaving her." Stan looked up. In front of him was a squinty eyed, brown hamster with a red apron.

"Hey Howdy (I can't believe I'm going to take his advice.) why am I leaving Pashmina so much! Why am I acting this way?"

"First of all yer acting this way." Howdy points to a certain direction and laughs at another horrible joke he made up. Stan isn't amused. "Second its gonna cost ya."

"How much?"

"Three sunflower seeds!" Howdy answered. Stan sighed as he gave Howdy his sunflower seeds.

"So tell me why I'm what's wrong with me?" Howdy motioned for Dexter to come out.

"Alright tell him why he's acting so strangely."

"He paid you to tell him!"

"But you're the only one who knows why." Stan grumbled to himself. And I can't believe I had to pay him. What a stupid explanation.

"I heard that!" Howdy exclaimed. Dexter sighed and told Stan why he was acting so strangely.

"Stan you've been with Pashmina for awhile right?" He nodded. "And you two have been so peaceful together." He nodded again. "That's your problem."

"Huh?"

"Think about it. Before you two got married you would always flirt with the other girl hams. Also when you got hurt badly or something happened Pashmina would start getting sad."

"In English so we can all understand genius." Dexter glared at Howdy before continuing.

"In other words all the excitement in your love life is gone. That's why you're always leaving her. It was working for awhile but now its not working. She thinks its all a joke." Stan thought about Dexter last remark and bowed his head. Then there was a glint in Howdy's squinty eyes meaning that he was up to something.

"And that's where I come in. I'm going to put the excitement back into your relationship." That's what I was afraid of. Stan said to himself. "C'mon you can trust me. What've got to lose?" Stan thought about it and he decided to along with it. "Kidnapping usually works. We can get someone to kidnap Pashmina and then you can act the hero and save her."

"We're not gonna ask Joe to kidnap her are we?" Howdy shook his head.

"No I'm asking my friend Ice to do it." Stan had that puzzled look on his face again and then a sweat drop appeared on his head.

"Isn't he the one who gets his tongue stuck to the ice cube all the time?"

"Don't worry he'll get the job done."

Later Ice put on a ninja outfit.

"Alright you know what to do. Kidnap Pashmina, bring her to acorn mountain, and keep her there until Stan comes to beat you up." Ice gets frightened.

"But Howdy you didn't tell me about being beaten up."

"Don't worry. Just worry about kidnapping Pashmina." Ice walked up to Pashmina and was about to grab her.

"I'm going to kidnap you." Big mistake. The girl hams turned around.

Outside Stan, Howdy, and Dexter listened to what was happening. They heard several girly screams but it didn't sound like any of the girl hams. They were answered with Ice running out of the clubhouse screaming like a girl.

"Hey yer supposed to kidnap her not run away!" Howdy yelled.

"Sorry but those girl hams are scary." Ice answered running away. Stan, Dexter, and Howdy fell anime style.

"Guess kidnapping isn't gonna but I got another plan." That's what I'm afraid of.

Later at Laura's house all the ham hams except Panda, Boss, Crystal, Howdy, and Dexter were sleeping in Laura's room. Pashmina had trouble sleeping. The same with Stan.

"Stan are you awake?" She asked.

"No I'm asleep." Pashmina became annoyed.

"Stan how can you be asleep if you're talking right now!" Stan remained silent.

"Stan is there something wrong?" Stan remained silent. Pashmina became annoyed again.

"You'd better tell me." Pashmina warned him. Stan sighed.

"I miss you."

"Heke?"

"I'm glad that you're spending more time with your friends but…I've been feeling so lonely without you." Tears began to form in Pashmina's eyes.

"Stan I'm so sorry. I guess I've been with the girls so much lately that I've forgotten about you." Stan hugged his girl ham.

"Look there's no need to cry." As she started to calm she realized something.

"Is that why you've been leaving me?" She asked. He nodded.

"I didn't want to get in the way with your friends so I thought if I left…"

"Stan did you know that this the tenth time you've left me? After awhile a started to stop taking you seriously. Besides you always come back." Pashmina looked up and saw Stan's kind face.

"I love you."

"I love you too." They kissed each other before going to sleep. What they didn't know was that the other ham hams were watching. Bijou, Sandy, and Penelope giggled.

The next morning Stan and Pashmina were getting ready to go to acorn mountain. That's when Ice, a squinty eyed girl ham appeared, and a another girl ham with glasses appeared.

"Sorry Ice but Howdy's not here." Stan said.

"I know he's…" However he was interrupted by the girl ham who elbowed him. "I mean I'll look for him later. This girl ham and her daughter was looking all over for you." They were looking for Stan? Pashmina said to herself. Before Stan could say anything the girl ham hugged him.

"Stan I've been looking everywhere for you." Pashmina looked at Stan.

"Who is this girl ham?"

"I don't know. There must be some mistake." Stan answered.

"How could you forget your wife?" Pashmina was in shock.

"STAN HAD ANOTHER WIFE!" Stan pried himself off the girl ham.

"Could you tell me what's going on?" The girl ham cried even more.

"How could you forget about the promise you made to me and your daughter."

"DAUGHTER!" Stan and Pashmina said in unison. The girl ham showed a small girl ham who had the same tiger stripe pattern. But she had glasses. The two began to cry.

"STAN HOW COULD YOU! I CAN'T BELIEVE MARRIED SOMEONE BEFORE ME!" Pashmina started to cry. Stan tried to calm her down but…

"DON'T YOUCH ME!" She yelled as she sent Stan flying. She ran away crying. Stan got up. I know I flirt a lot but…was I that crazy over a squinty eyed girl with a weird southern accent?
