Maxwell walked over to Hamtaro. How hard could this possibly be. Famous Last Words. "Ham-Ha Hamtaro, how are you doing?" He happily responded, "Ham-Ha Maxwell! I'm doing great. How about you?" He responded, "I am doing well. I am going to Fun Land with Sandy later." Hamtaro was so happy for the two. "You two sure do spend a lot of time together." "Well, yeah, I like her, Hamtaro." Hamtaro was a bit confused. "Don't you like all the Ham-Hams?" Maxwell realized this would be tougher than he thought. "Yes, I like you all. But I like Sandy in a different way." "I don't follow." This was going to take longer than Maxwell thought.
"Hamtaro, do you know what a crush is?" "Yeah, it's when a person is in love with someone else." Maxwell was surprised. "YOU KNOW!?" "Yeah. When someone tells me they have a crush on someone, I know." Maybe this would be easier than maxwell thought. "Now, Hamtaro. Who has crushes?" "Well, my human Laura has a crush on this boy named Travis. I bet he likes her too. She's kind, nurturing, and gives me SUNFLOWER SEEDS! Then there's Oxnard and Pepper. Oxnard told me, but I think that Pepper likes him back. Sandy kind of told me once that she likes you, but it took me a month to figure it out. Then there's Dexter and Howdy with Pashmina, though technically Boss told me."
Maxwell continued. This was kind of like an experiment to him. Could love be thought to a clueless Ham Ham? "Now, how do these people act when they are near the person they like...or even just talking about them." "Well, their faces turn a bit red. They smile, giggle. And sometimes they even act a bit nervous." This was going good. He proceded with a few more questions. "How does Bijou act around you? Does her face turn red a bit when you act nice to her?" "Yeah, now that you mention it." "Does she smile most of the time around you?" "Yes." "Does she giggle when talking to you?" "Uh-huh." "Does she act nervous sometimes." "Yeah, every once in a while." "Do you get what I'm saying." "Not at all." Maxwell was furious. "I'll be right back." He walked into another room. Then Hamtaro heard something.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Maxwell walked back in with a bruise on his head. "Hamtaro. I want you to compare Bijou when she's around you to the people who have crushes. Think long and hard about it." Hamtaro thought about it. Then, it hit him. "Does Bijou have a crush on me?" He looked at Maxwell. He was reading a book. "MAXWELL!" He looked up. "Sorry, after three minutes, I got bored." He thought, Sandy owes me big time. "What were you saying, Hamtaro?" "Do you think Bijou has a crush on me?" Maxwell felt relieved. "YES! I didn't think you would ever get the point. Yes, I know she does. Bijou told Sandy, whom told me. I agreed, but at the time I didn't think it would take half an hour." Hamtaro wondered. "Now what do I do?" "Ask yourself this: Do you feel the same way?" "Yeah but..." "I think that's all the time we have for this conversation. We're about to go to Fun Land." Hamtaro remembered. "Oh yeah. Maybe I can spend the day with Bijou."
