This happens on the same day. All of my chapters overlap each other. Thank you for your patience in reading this rambling. OxnardxPepper
Stan was sitting in the corner going insane.
Stan: How could this be happening?! I'm the hottest ham around! The ladies should be begging to join me on a relaxing picnic in the moonlight.
Unfortunately he was completely and utterly alone. Ha, what a loner!
Stan: You are so mean to my emotions!
Hehe, well anyways, Pepper was rolling down the countryside to visit Oxnard, waiting to hear one of his funny jokes and see his wonderful smile again. Then she saw Stan and felt his pain and walked over to him.
Pepper: You look sad. Is something wrong?
Stan: Nah, it's cool.
Pepper: Are you sure I can't help you with anything at all?
Stan perked up a little bit. Oh yeah, a chick was totally all over him.
Stan: Well, I was planning a moonlit picnic if you want to go!
Pepper: Tonight?
Stan: Yup! Can you make it?!
His eyes glittered with hope and dreams. Pepper hated to crush anyone's dreams. But tonight her and Oxnard were going to count his acorn collection. Then again…
Pepper: I'll try!
Stan: All right!
He rode off on his skateboard in a dreamy daze.
Stan: See you tonight then!
Pepper walked away confused and regretful. When she saw Oxnard her heart sank. Oxnard wasn't exactly the romantic type. He was funny, and nice, and good to hang around with, but he just didn't give her that warm and fuzzy feeling because he never told her how much he loved her. She was the only one who said it. Oxnard looked over at her and pondered.
Oxnard: Hey, are you okay. You seem kind of off.
Pepper: Oh, no it's nothing. Let's hurry up and count those acorns all right!
Oxnard suspected something but he didn't care as long as he was with her. During that time, Oxnard made Pepper laugh with his hilarious jokes and screw-ups in his life. Just when Pepper thought things could really be good between them, Oxnard fell asleep. Pepper decided she could see Stan for a little while. Stan was out on a hill with candles and a sunflower seed pie, her favorite! While Pepper devoured the pie, Stan played the guitar. Pepper seemed soothed but was really falling asleep. In Pepper's mind she was thinking Stan was a nice guy but Oxnard and her had more in common. She finally lost consciousness and fell asleep on the blanket.
Stan: Score! I totally got the girls hitting on me!
He pet her long brown braids that fell across her face. Could this be love?! Um, no.
Oxnard woke up and looked around for Pepper. He went outside and called her name, but nothing happened. He searched the fields and saw her in the arms of Stan on his skateboard. Oxnard tried to run angrily and beat Stan up, but his innocence and his clumsiness, did not allow him to. Meaning, he tripped and fell on his face and lost sight of them when he got up. Pepper was still asleep when Stan dropped her off in front of her house. When she woke up she saw Oxnard mad and dazed coming towards her. She waved, but he didn't respond. Pepper pouted that cute little pout that Oxnard couldn't resist. Finally, Oxnard waved back. Oxnard rubbed his hands on his head saying 'kush kush' and led Pepper to the guest room. Oxnard retired to his own room for the night still wondering if Pepper still loved him. In the morning they had waffles with sunflower paste and acorn pancakes. Pepper tried to make the first bit of conversation.
Pepper: You know what!? I just heard from Hamtaro that Bijou is having a party today! Wouldn't that be fun! Do you want to go with me? If that's OK with you.
Oxnard: Actually that would be great!
Pepper was overjoyed. That same day at the party, she was sitting at one of the tables. She saw Bijou sitting alone at a table and wanted to get up and see if she was OK but then she saw Hamtaro walk over and thought she shouldn't interfere. She got up and saw Stan walking over to her. She stayed surprisingly calm. After all, he was just a friend.
Stan: Hey Pepper! That was pretty awesome last night!
Pepper: I guess so…
Stan: So you probably want to ask me out or something but I'm a very charming guy and I move on pretty quickly so-
Pepper: Heke? Um, I have a boyfriend already and his name is Oxnard.
Stan: WHAAAAAT?!
Hearing his name Oxnard walked over to them suspiciously.
Oxnard: YOU! (pointing to Stan)
Stan: Um, I had no idea she was YOUR GIRLFRIEND!
Oxnard narrowed his eyes at him and pointed at the monkey in the corner.
Oxnard: So you're as innocent as that monkey in the corner?! You think I didn't see you with Pepper in your arms last night?!
Monkey: (drops banana and walks away) Savages…
Pepper: I was in his arms?
Stan: Woah man, this is just a big misunderstanding! (backs away slowly)
Then Stan accidentally slipped on the banana peel left by the 'innocent' monkey, and accidentally fell on Oxnard who in turn fell into the punch bowl. Stan was sweating like crazy. He thought he'd better go before things got REALLY bad. All of a sudden a piercing scream could be heard and the lights went out. Now was his time to escape. He left the party without leaving a trace. Until his sister Sandy stopped him…
