This Wasn't Meant to Be

Chapter One

Today is a day that is like any other, Hamtaro thought jovially as he strolled down the side path, there isn't a cloud in the sky, the bees are buzzing.

In fact, Hamtaro was in such good spirits that he nearly collided into Bijou who had just left her house.

"Sorry Bijou," he laughed,

"You seem very happy today Hamtaro, why is that?" she asked,

"I have no idea, I'm just happy because I'm happy!"

Bijou laughed, "Hamtaro, you never cease to amaze me,"

The pair then left for the clubhouse, laughing the whole way, little did they know, the day was going to be different from all the other days…

A spitball hit Maxwell on the back of the head, while he was teaching the Hams, and all the Ham-Hams exploded into peals of laughter. Maxwell could hear Stan calling out,

"Was that a good shot or was that a good shot?"

Maxwell slowly turned around, fuming, his face was bright red. Everyone immediately quieted down. "Now look here you guys-" he started off angrily, but Sandy cut him off.

"Max, just chill out, we're sorry," she said, then she eyed the Ham-Hams sternly, "aren't we?" she asked, in a tone that meant no funny business. Immediately everyone began apologising;

"Sorry Maxwell,"

"He didn't mean to get you angry, Max,"

"We're really sorry,"

"I didn't mean for you to get offended,"

"Ookwee,"

Maxwell sighed, he couldn't stay angry at the Ham-Hams, "Alright everyone," he said, "Now we will have a fifteen minute break for recess, afterwards we shall play soccer,"

All the boy Ham-Hams cheered and raced out the door, but the girl Hams walked out slowly chatting to each other,

"Boys are soooo undignified," Bijou informed the others, staring after the figure of Hamtaro,

"Well does this change your feelings for Hamtaro?" Pashmina asked cheekily,

"Huh?" Bijou murmured, she was distracted by Hamtaro, who was giving Cappy a sunflower seed,

"I guess that means no," Pashmina and Sandy laughed.

Then when they quietened down, Sandy told them,

"I'm really worried about Maxy, he just is like, getting more upset than usual at us, he has like closed up to me; he hardly ever even TALKS to me nowadays!" her voice quivered and she ran off with tears in her eyes.

"Ookwee," Penelope squeaked.

"I know," said Pashmina, giving Penelope a hug,

"It does seem a little scary, but things will work out!" she comforted Penelope

"Yeah," agreed Bijou,

"Things always work out for us, as long as we stick together, us Ham-Hams will stick together through thick and thin!" Bijou finished

"But… What Sandy is saying is true… I mean, Maxwell isn't acting like the Maxwell we knew…"

"We will have to wait and see what the future holds… Let's just hope it is a good future!"
