~The Journey to Neko Neko~
Thanks for everyone who reviewed in-all my fics! I really appreciate it. Yes, I finally thought of a name (a little from help of my friend, Obsidian Dancer:D)
Also, you should know that this chapter is the Prologue. And most importantly, this is the same chapter as the preview, except there are a couple of edited parts (Sorry!). Also important: This fic is VERY adventure- like. Finally, this chapter describes the ham-hams every once in awhile. So if you don't really know about Hamtaro, this might help you a bit (no guarantees).
I guess no one's figured out who the 'voice' is. (-Me neither, +__+!)
Disclaimer: I said it quite a couple times. I'm sure you all know, that I don't own Hamtaro.
~~
Hamtaro got up at the ring of Laura's alarm clock. "Time to wake up, Laura!" Laura Haruna is the owner of the cute and cuddly hamster, Hamtaro. She is 11 years old, in 6th grade.
Laura woke up and shut off the alarm. It was another day. Another school day. But a very tempting event awaited her.
"Hamtaro, today's going to be a great day!" Laura smiled and went to change her pajamas and fix up her hair. "Now what should I wear today---?" Laura wondered. She had so many selections to choose from! "What do think of this one Hamtaro?" She showed him a bright azure blouse with a matching azure pants.
'It's great Laura!' thought Hamtaro. 'I wonder. Was there a special event today? Laura seems really excited.' Hamtaro thinks, and thinks, and thinks. 'OH YEAH! Laura said yesterday that she had valleyball tryouts and she can't wait! I still don't know what valleyball is, but maybe the ham- hams do!'
Laura finally picked out something good to wear. She went down to eat breakfast. Later she went back upstairs to get her schoolbag and say buy to Hamtaro. "Hamtaro, after school we're having volleyball tryouts. I hope I make it! Last year volleyball was hard for me, but Kana taught me a few tricks so I'm a LOT better now. Even Teruda-sensei (Laura's gym teacher's name) says I'm getting really good!" Laura packed up all her books. "Be good Hamtaro! Wish me luck!" Laura hurried and rushed out of her room.
'So I was right! She was going to valleyball tryouts today! I hope she makes it! To whatever valleyball is suppose to be! One of the ham-hams are sure to have the answer!' Hamtaro got out of his cage and scurried behind the bed, into the drainpipe, and down it.
He zoomed out, and landed on Brandy, their dog. "See ya Brandy!" And a quiet sigh came out of the dog. Hamtaro quickly ran as fast as he could to the clubhouse to find out what all this dilly-dally for valleyball is. But then stopped at the sight of a particular hamster friend.
~~
"Oh hey, Hamtaro!" Oxnard, Hamtaro's very close neighbor was also a hamster. He loved to krmp down a sunflower seed. He was one of Hamtaro's best buddies.
"HI, Oxnard! You don't happened to know what valleyball is wouldja?" They walked as they talked.
"No I don't. But Kana sure does! She's been talkin' about that thing every night since last Thursday! Vallleyball, valleyball, valleyball! That's ALL she talks about! Why is valleyball so important anyway?"
"I know what you mean. Laura's keeps on talking about valleyball. And something about tryouts."
Soon they got to the clubhouse. That was where all their other ham-hams friends went to hang out. They have lots of adventures together! Hamtaro opened the door. "Hi ham-hams!"
"Hey Hamtaro! Oxnard!"
All the ham-hams were there. Except for Bijou. She must not be her yet. Hamtaro sat down and quickly got to the case. "Ham-hams, we've got a case to solve." 'WHAT?' came a reply. ".What's valleyball???" All the ham-hams thought and thought. 'HMMM---' All except for two particular ham-hams.
"You are like, so kidding me! You guys don't know what volleyball is?"
Everyone stared at Sandy curiously. Sandy was the sporty, energetic ham- ham.
"Guess not."
"What IS it Sandy?" says Pashmina.
"Ookwee! Ookwee!" says Penelope. Pashmina was Penelope's big sister, you could say. She always looked out for Penelope. Penelope could only say the word 'Ookwee'. She's still a baby ham-ham.
"Oh yeah, VOLLEYball, not valleyball, is a sport. You have teams, right. You throw this ball into the air like this, serve it like this, and try to get it over the net to the other team. The other tries to get the ball over the net back again and same for your team. You keep doing until the ball hits a boundary or on the ground. You have points, too. It's totally fun! I saw Hillary play it once with her friends." Hillary was her owner.
"OHHH!!" says the other ham-hams.
"Couldn't have said it better myself!" says Maxwell. He was a bookworm. He knew a lot about a bunch of things.
"Maybe we could play volleyball!" suggested Howdy. He was the jokester, with no good jokes.
"You'll be on the losing side, I hope." Mumbles Dexter. Dexter lived in an optical shop. He loves fiddling with glasses and their parts.
"Grrr-"
"What a good idea Sandy!" says Panda. "I could try and build the nets. And I can find a good ball." Panda was a great carpenter. He can build lots of things. Like the time he built the Ham-Ham Fun Park. All the ham-hams loved it!
"W-wait-- Bijou's not here! She should be here by now! We can't play this volleyball without Bijou can we?" says Boss. He has this colossal crush on Bijou, a pretty ham-ham from France. Everyone sweatdropped.
"Ookwee--" Says Penelope.
"Chill out Boss. She told us yesterday she was going to be with Maria, watching her at the music festival." Says Sandy.
"Oh yeah-"
"Let's get started then!"
"HOORAY!!" everyone cheered.
"Ookwee! Ookwee! Ookwee! Ookwee!"
~~
Everyone soon learned the basics from Sandy. Soon, the sun was setting. Everyone went home.
"See ya guys!" says Hamtaro. 'BYE!' comes a reply from the others.
He starts walking with Oxnard. "It's been such a long day! I wonder if Laura made it for volleyball tryouts."
"Same here! I bet Kana made it! She got to the championships with her team last year! They made it to the quarter-finals. It was a close one!"
"Awesome! Kana must be really good!" They got to their houses already. "Well, see ya Oxy!"
"See you tomorrow Hamtaro!"
"Bye!!" Hamtaro zipped to the front yard. Stopping to say hi to Brandy.
"How was your day Brandy." Only a yawn came out of the dog. "It must've been great!" Laura appeared at the sidewalk, heading home. "Oh no! Laura's coming! See ya Brandy!" Hamtaro rushed up the drainpipe, and got back to his cage soon.
~~
"Krmp. Krmp. Krmp. Krmp." Hamtaro sat near his food dish chewing up some hamster treats Laura gave him the other day. 'Laura should be up just about- '
Laura's bedroom door burst open revealing the one and only- Laura. Laura quickly threw her bag down and headed for Hamtaro's cage.
'I thought so. Hey, Laura's has the big smile on her face! I know what that means!'
"You'll never guess what, Hamtaro!" says Laura while taking Hamtaro out of the cage.
'Oh yes I will!'
"I made it for the volleyball tryouts!! So did Kana! I'm going to have so much fun!"
'Knew it. Oh,good for you Laura!'
"I can't wait! Our team's going to make it to the top!" says Laura confidently, pointing to the ceiling.
'Laura's sure excited! Maybe us ham-hams are going to the top too!'
~~
THAT NIGHT.
Laura is fast asleep on her bed while Hamtaro is sound asleep in his little hamster house. All is quiet, until all of a sudden.
"HAAAMTAAROOO- HAAAAAAAAAMMTAAAROOOOOO!" came a sound.
Hamtaro sprung to his feet, and got out of his hamster house, frightened by the sound. "Wh-Who's there?"
"HAAAMTAAAROOO-- PLEEAASE HEEELP- HERRR-"
"Help-- who? What's your name?" he asked curiously.
"HAAAMTAAAROOO- THERE'S NOO TIIME FOOOR THAAAAAT-SAVE- BIJOU-"
"Bijou? What happened to her? Did someone steal all her seeds? Did she fall into a hole? What? What?"
A long pause.
"--DOON'T YOU GET IT??!! SHE'S BEEEEEN KIDNAAAPPED!"
"Kidnapped? -No way! Her owner Maria takes care of her all the time! You're making this up!" Hamtaro says, and starts laghing sarcastically.
"-HAAAMTAAAROO-- I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP!!! WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD I COME ALL THE WAY HERE JUST TO TELL YOU A MADE UP STORY?" says the voice.
"Then- It's true? Bijou's been kidnapped???!!! Oh no! What will the ham- hams do without her?! Who did this?? I have to know!"
"CAAALM DOWN-- THERE IS NO NEED TO WORRRRRY. BIJOU WAS KDNAAPED BY---- LADY- SPARKLE---"
"Really!? Sparkle???" Hamtaro falls into deep Anime laughter. He finally settle down. "Now why would she do anything like that?"
"--CAN'T YOU FIGURE OUT ANNYTHING?? LADY SPARKLE IS JEALOUS! OF BIJOU'S BEAUTY!" says the voice impatiently. "YOU---- THE WIIIISE AND BRAVE HAMTARO- SHALL SAVE HER--"
"Me??? Okay- But I should tell the ham-hams. Maybe they can help."
"NOOOOO!!!!" Hamtaro freaks out at the voice. "YOU MUST NOT TELL THEM. THEY WILL GET IN THE WAY!!!"
"Ohh- In that case, I guess I'll just do it solo. By the way, where am I going?"
"TO THE LAND OF THE NEKO (means cat in Japanese), WHICH IS NOW LADY SPARKLE'S LAIR. THAT IS WHERE BIJOU IS-"
"WHAAAAT??? How did Sparkle get past all the cats?"
"BECAUSE OF HER INTELLIGENCE IS HOW LADY SPARKLE MANAGED TO GET PASS ALL THOSE. FELINES--"
"Woah. She must have been really smart."
"-WILL YOU, SIR HAMTARO, TAKE THE CHALLENGE OF SAVING BIJOU FROM THE MANCING LADY SPARKLE?"
"Of course I will!"
"THEN I WILLLL BE HERE TOMORROW EVENING TO PICK YOU UP-"
"Okay-"
"NOW, YOU MUST REST FOR THE UPCOMING EVENT- FAREWELL--" The voice was gone.
Hamtaro quickly got back to his house, but found out it was already morning.
~~
'Was that voice real? Is Bijou really kidnapped?' He thought about what he had just experienced. 'Nah! It was probably just a dream!'
All of a sudden a voice said, "REMEMBER- TONIGHT--" Hamtaro froze and looked around.
"Wh-what was that??" Maybe it was real after all. 'Well-- I guess it's gonna be another great adventure for me!'
~~
Prologue done. Yes, Hamtao's gonna be the star of this fic. I'm totally sorry to the ones who hate Hamtaro being the star. I know how you feel. It's just that Hamtaro's a lot easier to write about.
Also to everyone: It's gradually gonna get Hamtaro/Bijou later. *H/B fans jump up and down* I hope. *H/B fans sigh and go to wishing shrine place to hope for H/B*
More: The other ham-hams will hardly be in it. Really sorry! And the fic will probably contain about 10- 20 (maybe even more) chappys. That means I'll probably be done-(CF turns into calculator mode)- Around mid-March to around-the end of May--maybe longer ;( BUT--- that's just a guess. AND- sorry if there were any grammar/spelling/punctuation mistakes-I'll try to avoid them (
Don't keep yourself from. R&R!
