The Hamtaro Ham-Ham Challenge game is supposed to come out September 23, in case you're interested. I'd rather it come back to TV, but until then here's Chapter 2. Oh, by the way, I made a mistake with the prologue. It was supposed to be called Prologue, not One.
Disclaimer: There are millions of people who don't own Hamtaro. I just happen to be one of them. T-T
One
Pashmina the Royal Servant didn't want to stay at Kingdom Hamland. She wanted adventure! She wanted to get out of there and explore the world outside the kingdom, make new friends, meet new people. She decided to stow away in the carriage. It was not comfortable, I can tell you that.
After a long, tedious one-day journey of many "Are we there yet?s" from Hamtaro and "For crying out loud, no's" from Boss, the coach driver, Hamtaro had finally arrived at the Ham-Kingdom of France.
An enormous palace lay ahead them. It must have been a million feet high! And the towers! You could hardly count them! It was just like the fairy tales Hamtaro had heard. A guard lowered the drawbridge.
Minutes Later…
Hamtaro walked in the hallway, Pashmina following him. She was careful to not be seen, as she didn't want to get caught.
This palace was amazing! Paintings and suits of armor adorned the long hallway. One of the paintings that made Hamtaro curious was a portrait of brown hamster. The hamster's eyes seemed to follow him across the hall.
Finally he had arrived at the princess's throne room. A brown and white hamster in a sparkly yellow dress awaited him. She wore a silver tiara decorated with jewels.
"Who is this guy? SECURITY?!" she screamed.
"Princess, it is merely ze prince," said Bijou.
"Oh. Well then, I'm Princess Sparkle. We'll talk at dinner, which isn't ready yet. Bijou, give him a tour of the castle."
"Zat should not be a problem."
"All 130 rooms."
"Oh," Bijou said flatly. (A/N: Anime sweat drop here.)
"Well, don't just stand there! Get going!" Sparkle shouted.
"Yes, Princess," Bijou replied. "Come with me, prince."
Bijou took Hamtaro down the hallway.
Sparkle noticed that Hamtaro wasn't what she had expected. True, he was cute, but he would've looked better in blue instead of that green prince outfit. Blue was definitely his color.
"And ziz is ze hallway zat leads to the stairs," Bijou said. "Zere are thirteen floors, ten rooms on each floor."
"Why are there so many rooms?" Hamtaro asked.
"Ze servants, ze guards, ze ham-ladies-in-waiting, such as myself."
"Does the princess really need that many ham-hams around?"
"She…needs a lot of attention."
"Oh," Hamtaro said, thinking about his own life in the palace. "So tell me more about yourself."
"Zere is not much to say about me," Bijou said. She didn't want to let this stranger know too much about herself.
"Well, there's gotta be something about you. Your life can't be that boring."
"I am a ham-lady-in-waiting, and if somezing were to happen to Princess Sparkle, I would become princess."
"I know what a first lady is, but I wanna know more about you. I'm Prince Hamtaro. I'm the prince of Kingdom Hamland. I'm supposed to marry Princess Sparkle, but I don't want to marry her. I've never even met her before and I don't know what she's like."
You don't want to, Bijou thought to herself.
While she passed by one of the suits of armor, the brown apron she wore over her blue dress snagged on a sword hanging from the hand of a suit of armor.
"Let me help you with that," Hamtaro offered.
"I shall do it myzelf." Bijou said.
"Are you sure?"
"I am fine." She struggled for a while, but finally managed to escape.
"Now for ze rest of ze castle-"
"Dinner's ready!" a voice called out from down the hall.
"I guess that'll have to wait," Hamtaro said.
Chapter 2 coming soon! Get yourself a cupcake in the meanwhile.
