Hamha! I don't own Hamtaro. Oh well. Not like I ever will.

Chapter 1

What Happened?

Hamtaro woke up at the same time he usually does, and waited for Laura to leave so that he could go to the clubhouse and hang out with his friends. He was surprised, however, to find Laura leaving much earlier than she normally does.

"Bye, Hamtaro! See you after school!" Laura left, and Hamtaro left his cage and began his normal routine: Going behind her bed, going through the hole he had made in the wall when they first moved there, sliding down the drainpipe, and landing on the dog that, if he were a hamster, could pass himself off as Snoozer, Brandy.

"Hiya, Brandy! Do you know why Laura left so early today?" Brandy simply yawned, as always. Hamtaro began his walk to the clubhouse, but realized once he got to the park that he was also early to his destination, so he climbed up a tree to wait for his friends. "I've never been out this early before. I wonder who will come first?" He sat waiting for his friends for a while, and eventually climbed further up the tree to get an acorn that he had seen a few moments before. "Almost… got it… C'mon…" Unfortunately, his paw slipped, and he fell out of the tree, hitting his head on a few branches, and landing in a pile of leaves just under the tree. "Ow, that hurt…" before he could say anything else, however, a bunch of acorns fell on his head, knocking him out.

"Hey! Are you like, okay, Hamtaro?" Hamtaro woke up to Sandy nudging him gently, making sure he was okay.

"Yeah, but… my head hurts."

"That's okay, I'm sure you'll like, feel better once we link, get to the clubhouse."

"Wha…" But before he could finish asking Sandy his question, she was dragging him toward the clubhouse.

"Hamha, guys! Look who I found outside!" Everyone in the clubhouse, save for Snoozer, turned toward the door.

Everyone said, "Hamha, Hamtaro!"

Hamtaro was very confused, many questions racing through his mind, but he asked the two he deemed most important: "Who are all of you, and who's Hamtaro?"
