When Best Friends Fall In Love by The Bunny Queen

It was a nice day at the Ham-Ham Clubhouse (a/n: their clubhouse is like the KND treehouse.) All the Ham-Hams except Pashmina and Stan, were all in the living room watching a funny movie or in the kitchen or in the office room.

In Pashmina's Room

Pashmina was watching a scary movie in her room while, her crazy best friend Stan barged in and scared her half to death while the movie was at the scariest part.

"Pashmina!" shouted Stan.

Before Pashmina answered, she screamed a high-pitched, near ear-splitting scream that was heard in and out of the Clubhouse.

"Stan!" screeched Pashmina."That was so mean! I was watching the scariest movie ever!" screamed Pashmina.

"Oh. Whoops?" yelped Stan.

Pashmina took one look at Stan and then, "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" was all you could hear in the Clubhouse and the thing that stood out the most in the Clubhouse at the moment was, Pashmina chasing around Stan with a Curler. All the Ham-Hams in the room had an anime sweatdrop on their heads while they watched this "scene". Finally, you couldn't hear anything except the laughter of Pashmina and Stan in Pashmina's room.

All the Ham-Hams (except Pashmina and Stan), were all like, "Huh?". Then they all walked over to Pashmina's room to see what was going on. When they finally reached Pashmina's room, they saw that Pashmina was getting tickeld by Stan. "Hahahahahahahahaha! Stop it Stan!" laughed Pashmina.

Stan stopped and then pouted like a three-year-old, then he said, "No." in the cutest way possible. Then he kept tickling her. Little did the two and the others know that Dexter and Howdy were boiling with jealousy.

In The Library

Dexter and Maxwell were reading quietly when Penelope ran into the room hopping up and down with excitement.

"What is it Penelope?" simultaneously said Maxwell and Dexter.

"Heehee. You two really are best friends! Heehee." giggled Penelope.

Penelope got a knowingly look from both Dexter and Maxwell as her reply.

"Oh ok." sighed Penelope. "My cousin Claire just arrived with Pashmina and Stan. She brought gifts for everyone! Even though she doesn't know all of you yet! She's so friendly!"

"What do you say Dexter?" asked Maxwell.

"Let's go meet Claire!" insisted Dexter.

"Alright then." replied Maxwell.

In The Living Room

At the enterence of the Ham-Ham Clubhouse, you could see Pashmina, a girl that looked similar to Pashmina carrying several hand bags, a tennis racket case, a skateboard case, and her pet pomeranian, and Stan lugging three heavy-looking bags of luggage.

"Hi everyone!" exclaimed Pashmina. "This is my cousin Claire LaRue and her pomeranian Odette! They just arrived from Malibu, California! She looks exactly like me doesn't she? Except the fact that she doesn't wear a scarf like mine and she has a tatoo!"

"Oh gee, thanks Pash." laughed Claire. Her reply was a look from Pashmina. "I was joking around! Gosh! What's your problem!" joked Claire.

After the introduction of Claire and Odette, Claire introduced herself personally to everyone in the clubhouse. This is how it all went:

In Meeting Hamtaro and Bijou

"Hi! I'm Claire LaRue and this is my dog Odette!" grinned Claire.

"Bonjour! I'm am Bijou Ribon and this is Hamtaro Haruna!" smiled Bijou.

"Wow! Are you two like, boyfriend and girlfriend? You speak french? That rocks!" asked Claire, for she had noticed that Bijou and Hamtaro were wearing similar outfits. "Here, a present for both of you!" smiled Claire as she gave both Hamtaro and Bijou a shiny wrapped box.

"Yeah." blushed Bijou and Hamtaro.

"Heehee!" giggled Claire. "Well it was nice meeting you two!" smiled Claire. With that last said, Claire left the blushing couple to themselves.

In Meeting Cappy and Panda

"Oh hi!" smiled Cappy and Panda.

"Hi! I know Pashmina already introduced me, but I wanted to introduce myself personally." grinned Claire.

"You know, Claire, you look exactly like Pashmina!" exclaimed Cappy.

"Yeah. People have told me. Especially our relatives, like that one time where my aunt Mimi mistook me as Pashmina." replied Claire. "Well, since I brought everyone gifts, I'm going to give everyone gifts!" smiled Claire as she gave a present to both Panda and Cappy.

"Heehee." giggled Cappy.

"It was super nice meeting you two!" smiled Claire

"It was nice meeting you Claire!" called Panda as Claire began to walk away.

"Same here!" waved Claire.

In Meeting Sandy and Maxwell

"Aww! Another cute couple!" cooed Claire.

"Aww. Thanks!" smiled Sandy. "Oh I forgot! Hi I'm Sandy and this is my boyfriend Mawell!"

"Cool! You two look super cute together!" replied Claire. "Here's a gift for both of you! Well, I gotta meet everyone else! See you two later!"

"Bye Claire!" simutaneously said Maxwell and Sandy.

In Meeting Jingle, Dexter, and Howdy

"Hello!" grinned Claire.

"Howdy Miss Claire!" exclaimed Howdy.

"What's up?" sang Jingle.

"Nice meeting you!" exclaimed Dexter.

"Heehee! I'm so glad I came to visit! There's so many nice people here!" smiled Claire. "Uh...here, I bought gifts for everyone! Well, sorry but I have to go and get all my bags in my room! Talk to you guys later!" sweetly said Claire with a good bye wave.

"She's nice huh Dexter?" asked Howdy.

"Yeah..." replied Dexter staring at Claire walk away.

"Hey, you ok?" asked Howdy.

Dexter broke out of his trance. "Uh ye-yeah! I'm fine." replied Dexter.

"Dexter has been hit by the love bug." teased Jingle.

"True that." replied Howdy.

In Claire's room with Pashmina

"I really am happy that I got the time to visit you Pash!" hugged Claire.

"Well, it's a good thing that you came by when it's Christmas! There's going to be a lot presents for everyone!" exclaimed Pashmina.

"This will be so exciting! I get to experience a Japanese Christmas!" happily said Claire. "I can't wait to see what will happen tomorrow!"
