Hi-hi! This is my first Hamtaro story! Yay!

Enjoy! :3

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a sunny day. Hamtaro fell out of his usual hole onto the soft green grass. He rubbed his face and let the warmth of the sun hit his furry little orange and white face. He started to clean his whiskers when he heard a big yawn.

"Oh! Hiya Brandy!" he said happily.

The dog stared at Hamtaro sleepily, then just yawned and went back to sleep.

Hamtaro didn't understand this dog. How could she just sleep? He had to go and get some exercise or he'd go crazy! Speaking of exercise, he got up and did some stretching exercises. When he decided that he was done, he headed to the club house.

"Bye Brandie!" he said as he waved good-bye to the sleeping dog.

The little white and orange hamster was merrily walking along when he saw a big white and grey hamster holding a sunflower seed. Hamtaro recognized this hamster. He ran towards him.

"Oxnard!" Hamtaro called.

Oxnard turned around and smiled at his friend. He put down his sunflower seed and waved hello to Hamtaro.

"Ham-ha Hamtaro!" Oxnard said happily.

"Ham-ha! What do you think we should do today?" Hamtaro asked his friend.

"Oh! Boss told me that we're going to do something about castles, and royalty and stuff like that," Oxnard answered.

Hamtaro big eyes lit up. "Really? That sounds like fun!" he squealed happily. "Come on, let's hurry!"

The two Ham-Hams ran all the way to the clubhouse. They burst through the door. Hamtaro hopped around with energy, whereas Oxnard flopped down on the ground trying to catch his breath. He opened up his sunflower seed and ate it. Then he seemed to have a little bit more energy.

"Hamtaro! Oxnard! Ham-ha!" Boss warmly greeted them.

Boss seems really happy today, Hamtaro thought, that's good for him!

Boss turned away from the young hamsters and smiled to himself. Heh, heh. With this new game, I'll be sure to win Bijou's heart.

At that moment, Bijou, Pashmina, Penelope, Howdy and Dexter walked in. "HAM-HA!" they said in unison.

"Ham-ha!" Hamtaro, Oxnard and Boss answered.

Bijou walked over to Hamtaro. "Ham-ha, Hamtaro! Nice day today isn't it?" the pure white hamster with the blue bows asked him. Hamtaro smiled back at her.

"Ham-ha, Bijou! It is nice so I think Laura's going to be home a little late today," Hamtaro answered with excitement. He couldn't wait to play this game. It sounded like a lot of fun. Plus, he had never played a game like this before, and he wanted to try it.

"Ok!" Boss started. "Today we are going to play a new game. It's called…" He stopped.

Bijou looked as excited as Hamtaro. Her eyes were twinkling with excitement. "What s it? What is it?" she asked excitedly.

Boss became nervous. He didn't know what it was called, and he couldn't think of a name for it. Sweat began to drip down his head. "Um, well, I d-don't know what to call it…"

Hamtaro jumped up with enthusiasm. "That's okay!" he squealed. "Just teach us how to play! We'll name it later! How do we play?"

Boss put his paw on his chest. "First, we dress up like princes and warriors and stuff."

Bijou clasped her paws together. Her eyes looked like big twinkling stars. "I want to be a princess! Where are the costumes?"

Boss pointed to a small brown box. All the Ham-hams rushed towards it. They opened up the box and there inside was and assortment of dresses and armor and fancy clothes. Hamtaro reached in and pulled out a knight costume. It was made of strong tin foil and had a blue fluffy feather on the top. He put it on and grabbed a tall plastic sword.

He smiled happily as he looked at himself. "I will save the princess!" Hamtaro said with much enthusiasm.

Boss reached into the box. If Bijou is going to be a princess, will be a knight and impress her by saving her before Hamtaro! He grabbed a knight costume just like Hamtaro's, but the fluffy feather was red instead of blue.

Bijou reached in next. She pulled out a blue dress that covered her feet, a necklace with a pretty shiny rock tied to the end of t, and a big cone hat, with a ribbon coming out of the hat. She loved the way the dress looked. It was blue from the chest down to her shin, and then it turned into white. The hem had some light blue fluffy string all around it. The waist had little blue bows on it. Her hat was a mixture of dark blue and light blue stripes. She ribbon hanging from it was a see through blue.

"Oh, Boss! These costumes are absolutely wonderful!" Bijou said as she twirled around in her beautiful outfit.

Boss rubbed the back of his head. "Heh, well you know," was all Boss could say.

Pashmina and Penelope reaching next. The grabbed matching dresses. They were just like Bijou's, but everything that was blue was pink for Pashmina and Penelope. They twirled simultaneously.

"Yes, yes Boss! These costumes are simply fabulous!" Pashmina squealed.

"Ookwee!" Penelope added.

Boss beamed with pride.

Howdy and Dexter reached in at the same time. They grabbed a knight costume as well, n hopes of winning over Pashmina. Dexter's feather was white, Howdy's was yellow. They smiled at each other then glared at each other. They knew the were competing for the heart of the fair Princess Pashmina, like Boss was competing for the heart of Bijou, although that's not really what Hamtaro had in mind.

Oxnard grabbed a king costume. He smiled at it, knowing that if he was king, he could lead things for a change. It was mainly just a purple cape that went all around him like a coat, with fake spotted fur at the hem. He wore a big crown that had many shiny rocks on it. He had a shiny stick with a small ball attached to the top.

"Ok! Are we all ready?" Boss asked excitedly.

"HAM-HA!"

"Let's go!"

So the Ham-hams walked out to the meadow. It was still pretty sunny, and the grass smelled nice. Howdy followed Pashmina and Penelope. Bijou followed Hamtaro, and Boss followed Bijou.

"Rrroww!"

The Ham-hams turned to see a big black cat behind them.

"Dragon!" Boss yelled out. "The knights must protect the princesses from the dragon!" He stepped in front of Bijou.

Hamtaro looked at Bijou. "Don't worry, I'll protect you too," he said with a wnk.

Bijou blushed lightly.

Howdy and Dexter stepped in front of Pashmina and Penelope. They pulled out their swords and bravely stared at the cat.

"How brave!" Pashmina complemented.

Howdy and Dexter blushed. It was working! They loved this new game.

The cat crouched down, ready to attack.

"Get ready Knights!" Oxnard called. Hamtaro gave Bijou one last smile before Oxnard called out, "ATTACK!"
