Ch.1

Planning

Back in August, i went on a trip around the Hawaiian islands, so i decided to make a fic based on some of the things i did there. Hopefully this fic will do better than my last one. I expect this to be fairly long, but less than ten chapters. Please R&R and enjoy!

A knock rang out from the clubhouse door, causing Boss to rush out of his seat. "What's the password?"

"Sunflower," answered the hamster behind the door. Boss breathed a sigh of relief as he quickly undid several locks before allowing Hamtaro to enter.

Hamtaro quickly took a seat at the table. "So, how goes the planning?"

"Terrible," answered Bijou morosely. "We can't zink of a single good idea."

"But we gotta hurry," said Hamtaro. "It's only a few days away!" Another knock came from the door, causing the ham hams to freeze in place.

"Hello, anybody home?" asked Tennis as she banged on the door once more.

She waited a moment before she received an answer. "What's the password?"

"Password?" asked Tennis as she put her paws on her hips. "Since when do we have a password? Just open up, it's me, Tennis!"

Another moment of silence followed until Pashmina piped up. "Are you alone?"

Tennis rolled her eyes. "Yes, now can I come in?"

"Sandy and Stan aren't with you?" asked Maxwell nervously from behind the door.

"I haven't seen them all day," answered Tennis, aggravation growing in her tone. "What, did you mess things up with her again?"

"Y-You're absolutely positively without a doubt one hundred percent infallibly certain?" asked Oxnard.

"Yes, and that's how sure I am about kicking you in the nuts if you don't let me in right now!" she roared as she pounded on the door. The door quickly cracked open, barely allowing Boss room to pull Tennis inside.

"What's with you guys?" asked Tennis. "And what's with all the seclusion from Sandy and Stan?"

Cappy hurried to her side, whispering into her ear. "We're planning them a surprise birthday party!"

"All this just for a little birthday bash?" asked Tennis as she took a seat. "Geez, you guys take party planning seriously around here, don't you?"

Penelope smiled, saluting military style. "Okyoo!"

"That may be," replied Dexter as he folded his arms. "But we haven't thought of a single good idea for the party."

Tennis smiled as an idea came to her. "How 'bout a cruise?"

"Where are suppose to get a ship?" asked Howdy as he scratched his head in confusion.

"I could make one," suggested Panda. "But that might take me a while…"

"But where would we go on the cruise?" asked Oxnard.

Tennis shrugged nonchalantly. "How 'bout around the Hammarian islands?"

Panda's jaw dropped. "Um, in that case, it might take me months, maybe years for us to build a ship to accommodate all of us!"

The pony-tailed hamster smirked as she flipped open her cell phone. "All I need is a phone call and it can all be arranged for us."

"For real?" asked Hamtaro eagerly. "Hammarian islands, here we come!"

Boss was about to celebrate when a sudden thought dawned upon him. "How am I supposed to go if I get seasick?" The jubilation died down, solemn faces on the rest of the ham hams.

"Well, so much for that idea," sighed Pashmina glumly.

"Um, you do know there's medicine for seasickness, right?" asked Tennis. Happiness once again returned to the ham hams.

"A cruise around the Hammarian islands? Mind if I tag along?" the ham hams turned to see Ace standing by the door.

A look of disbelief washed over Boss. "How'd you get in?"

Ace pointed to the door. "It was unlocked. I've actually been here throughout that entire conversation."

"Oh well, the more the merrier!" exclaimed Hamtaro. "I can't wait!"

The next morning brought bright skies and fair temperatures as the ham hams stood outside the clubhouse. They could barely stand still as they squirmed with anticipation as the limos pulled up.

"Zis iz going to be zo exciting!" exclaimed Bijou.

"What the heck?" spat Sparkle as she stuck her head out the sunroof. "You told me only Hamtaro was coming!"

"Zis iz going to be terrible!" groaned Bijou.

Too busy with thoughts of sand, surf, and sweat, the ham hams didn't notice as Jingle came walking by one of the limos.

"Like a rainbow in the darkness,

A masterpiece unsigned,

A hole with no donut,

I drift, unchained and free..."

He ceased his playing as he looked around. "What's with all the limos?" He examined the truck of one of the limos. "And what's that all the way in the back?" He leaned in further, too far in fact. With too much wait going forward, he toppled into the trunk, which was swiftly slammed shut by Tennis, who was unaware of the minstrel hamster.

This trip is gonna be awesome," she said to herself. "I finally get to see her again!"

I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! Like I said at the top, I want this fic to be better than my last, so why not bring back an OC you guys liked so much? Looks like Jingle's coming along too! Any tips on how to do his character would be appreciated too! Who is this 'her' Tennis talked about? Find out in the next chapter! Please R&R!
