Hamha everyone. This is a Hamtaro Fan-Fiction I'm working on that, as the title hints at, is a year after the last episode of the English episodes. A big thanks to Knightmar35 for editing for me. Hope you enjoy :D

It was a sunny day with a gentle breeze flowing over a few small hills. A hamster with all black fur was standing at the top, looking over a small creek at a very special tree, the tree that leads to the Ham-ham clubhouse. It is a very well know place in Japan and even a little bit of Asia, at least, for a hamster. It has been a long time since this hamster has been to, or even near, the clubhouse. The hamster stood, staring at the tree, thinking of scenarios that could happen with his first meeting with all the Ham-hams. I don't know why I'm so worried about meeting them; he thought to himself, these are some of the nicest hamsters around. After pushing all his worries and doubts the back of his mind he noticed the first problem he could see, how to cross the creek.
He walked up to the bank and looked up and down it. They still haven't built a bridge across here yet, he thought to himself. He knew there was a bridge a little ways up but he just shrugged and told himself it wasn't worth walking all the way. He noticed a small patch of land near the middle. Now the creek was only about 8 feet across but that is quite a large distance for a hamster. Thinking of how he could get across he noticed a small patch of reeds next to him. He walked over and grabbed one that was about a foot long and snapped it off the bank. He took a few steps back and readied his reed. He then charged at the creek, planted it in the water and vaulted himself to the small island, just making it a small step in the fast current of the water as he landed. He looked across the rest of the creek and knew that there was no way he could get enough speed to vault across, he also knew there was only one way to get the rest of the way: swim. He loathed the thought of having to get in the water, not because he couldn't swim but for other reasons. He tried to think of other ways to get across but he trapped himself in this situation and he knew it. Well at least I'll be clean for my first impression, he thought to himself as he dove into the water. The dive got him about half-way across the creek. The water was warm and comfortable and the current didn't push him to far away from where he was headed, about 3 or 4 feet. When he got to the other side, his fur was no longer black. It was pure white, all the black was washing away. He washed away whatever black that was still on him and shook himself out, the sun would make him dry within a few minutes, after a few minutes of laying on the grass, drying and relaxing, he stood up and noticed how nervous he was. He couldn't understand why. I've been in much worse situations then this, he though, so why am I so nervous. He walked back to the creek and splashed some water on his face trying to sooth himself. No time to waste he said as he walked over and into the tunnel, on his way to meet the Ham-Hams.
At the clubhouse, not much was happening. They were all sitting around the table trying to find something to do, besides Snoozer, who was asleep. As always. Hamtaro was listing off games to try to motivate the others to do something, because he was tired of sitting and doing nothing; like they have for the past few days.
"Anything you want to do?" Hamtaro asked. Everyone shook their heads.
"What about Ham-and-seek?" Everyone shouted back, "No!"
Hamtaro thought for a few more seconds, "I've got it, Blinds-man-bluff!"
"Hamtaro I think we have done everything there is to do," concluded Maxwell. Everyone nodded in agreement. Hamtaro slouched in disappointment, knowing today was going to play out like every other day.
"There there haz to be somezing we can do" Bijou asked, trying to cheer Hamtaro up.
"Yeah Sandy pitched in we haven't done, like, everything, right Maxy?" Everyone looked at Maxwell.
"Well we could try something a bit more my style," everyone was listening intently.
