Love is in the Air

Welcome to my latest fic! I've had this fic in my head for a while now and I'm glad I could get some of it up before I leave for the beach! I leave on Saturday, but I'll try to update one more time before I go. Anyways, please R&R and enjoy!

Springtime was in the air. The days were becoming warmer, flowers began to bloom, and romance was in the air. No one was safe from Cupid's arrow, not even the ham hams.

"Outta the way Howdy!" shouted Dexter as he tried to keep his rival from the clubhouse door. "I'm opening the door for Pashmina!"

Howdy grabbed Dexter's leg and pulled it back, causing Dexter to face plant. "You can't open the door for her, you've got sticks for arms!"

As Howdy went to grab the door, Dexter picked himself off the ground and hurled himself at the apron-wearing hamster. "And you have a butt for a face!"

"Oh, nice comeback smart one!" growled Howdy as he sat on Dexter's back, bending the bowtie-wearing hamster's ankle painfully.

Dexter freed his foot paw, bonking Howdy in the nose in the process. "At least I am smart, unlike a certain hamster who just got a taste of my paw!"

"L-lemme help Pashmina."

Pashmina smiled at Kai as he opened the door for her. "Thanks Kai!"

"Ookwee!" exclaimed Penelope as she followed her friend.

Kai's face flushed red. "N-No problem. He looked over at Dexter and Howdy, who glared at him menacingly. "What?" The spiky-headed hamster didn't have time to escape before Dexter and Howdy went at him like an injured zebra in Africa.

"What's up Maxwell?" asked Sandy as she stood behind the chair where Maxwell was reading yet another one of his books. "Whatcha reading?"

The bookworm hamster placed his bookmark in the book and looked up at Sandy. "It's an interesting tale about a group of ham hams getting trapped on a deserted island."

Sandy smiled at him. "That sounds…" Suzy ran up to Maxwell, knocking Sandy out of the way in the process. "That sounds cool! Can you tell me more?"

The tiger-striped girl picked herself off the ground, her paw straying dangerously close to her ribbon until Ty walked up to her. "Hey Sandy, I'm working on this new design and I could totally use your input."

"Okay then!" said Sandy, momentarily forgetting about Maxwell and Suzy. Where is it?"

Bijou stood in front of the mirror, a brush in one paw, when Boss walked up behind her. "Hey Bijou. I see you're doing something different with your fur today."

"Zanks for noticing," replied Bijou. "But I'm not sure if I like et. I zink I might want to do zomezing different.

"Do whatever you like with it," replied Hamtaro as he walked up to her. "Your fur looks good however you where it!"

The French hamster blushed slightly. "Why zank you!"

Hamtaro looked over at Boss, who was growling at him like an angry dog. "You okay Boss?" Boss was about to introduce his fist to Hamtaro's jaw where her looked over to see Ace walking away with Bijou.

"If you're looking for a great place for styling fur, then I'll introduce you to someone," said Ace suavely. "I know this great ham girl who works wonders with scissors. I'll have a chat with her and get you an appointment at half price."

"You do zat for moi?" asked Bijou. "Zank you Ace! You're the best!"

The door to the clubhouse burst open suddenly, revealing Panda. "Sorry I'm late guys, but I just saw this tree with the biggest acorns you've ever seen!"

Stan put his arm around Pashmina and Bijou's shoulders. "Ya know, I've got something that's bigger than an acorn."

Sandy wrapped her ribbon around his mouth before delivering a kick to his rump. "The only thing you have bigger than an acorn is an ego!"

Hamtaro sweat dropped as he took a step away from Sandy. "So, um, acorns anyone?"

The ham hams walked through the green grass, its color contrasting the cloudy sky, as they followed Panda. The carpenter hamster pointed forward. "It's just a little further. Come on!"

Cappy stopped suddenly, his ears perking up. "Wait a second, does anyone hear what are hear?"

"Do you hear singing?" asked Oxnard as he perked his ears up. "'Cause if you are, then we're hearing the same thing." The ham hams looked over at the stream flowing by, where a hamster sat on a rock on the bank. A gust of wind picked up, the girl hamster's cream-colored fur blowing carelessly in the breeze. Unaware of the ham hams, she continued to sing.

"The sun'll come out, tomorrow

So ya gotta hang on 'til, tomorrow

Come what may, tomorrow, tomorrow

I love ya, tomorrow!"

"Wow, she's pretty good," said Sandy. "What do you think Stan? Stan?" However, her brother had left a few moments ago, nearly at the rock where the girl hamster was sitting. Sandy sighed as she pulled out her ribbon. "Great, not again! Wanna watch me Maxwell? Maxwell?" However, Stan and Maxwell, including the rest of the male ham hams, had already made a beeline to the rock.

Stan got on one knee, a cool smile on his face. "Hey babe, come here often?" Before she could respond, the rest of the boys ran into him, all falling into one messy pile.

Hamtaro was the first to recover. "Wow! You're a good singer!"

The girl hamster smiled at him. "Thank you. My name's Aura. What's your name?" All the boys shouted their names at once, causing Aura to cock her head in confusion.

"Hi there!" exclaimed Pashmina as she and the other ham ham girls arrived. "I'm Pashmina and this is Penelope."

"Ookwee!" exclaimed Penelope.

"I'm Bijou," replied the French hamster.

"I'm Sandy!" exclaimed Sandy.

Suzy readjusted her glasses. "And call me Suzy!"

"Wanna go back to my clubhouse and hang out?" asked Boss.

Aura continued to smile at them. "That sounds like fun. Okay!"

Bijou looked at the tall hamster. "But Boss, weren't we just about to…"

"To the clubhouse!" exclaimed Boss as he pointed back the way they came. The boys cheered as they hurried back to the clubhouse, staying close to Aura.

Dexter pushed Howdy out of the way. "I'll lead Aura to the clubhouse!"

"No, I will!" shouted Howdy as he pushed Dexter back.

Bijou watched the boys worriedly. "Did Boss just blow me off?"

Pashmina nodded. "And Dexter and Howdy aren't stalking me for once."

I know first chapters aren't my best work, but I hope you still enjoyed it! I'll try updating soon, but I'm leaving for the beach on Saturday, so I might not be able to update until I come back. Also, do you know what musical Aura's song came from? If you do, please tell me! First reviewer to answer correctly gets a prize! Please R&R!
