So This is What Hell is Like
Sorry it's taken me so long to update! A busy work schedule and laziness have kept me from doing so. I believe the next time I'll be able to update is Thursday, but for now, please R&R!
Luna sat on one of the brightly-colored stools in the clubhouse, surrounded by several smiling hamsters. Everywhere she looked, she saw brightly-colored objects and hamsters she didn't even know, or want to know for that matter. However, that didn't stop them from introducing themselves, some of them doing so in over enthusiastic tones.
"…And I'm Hamtaro!" exclaimed Hamtaro, throwing his paws in the air as he did. "What's your name?"
The goth hamster rolled her eyes. "Luna."
"Luna…that's Latin for 'moon', correct?" asked Maxwell.
"Umm, yeah," replied Luna, not even bothering to make eye contact with him. "Look, I've obviously made a wrong turn or something, because this isn't the place I was looking for." She got up from her seat and headed to the door. "Have fun doing whatever the heck you guys do for fun."
"Hold on Luna girl," said Stan as he grabbed her paw. "Don't you wanna see what the Stan's all about?"
The goth hamster turned to Stan, staring daggers at him. "You have three seconds before I rip your arm off and shove it down your throat." Unfortunately for Stan, her comment made him freeze in shock. However, Sandy came to the rescue, snagging his and pulling him away from his latest conquest.
"What have I told you about hitting on girls?" snapped Sandy as she stood on her brother's back.
"This is probably the only time I'm glad you snagged me," replied Stan, wincing slightly.
Luna turned to the door silently. "Okay, here's my chance. I just gotta…"
Before she could take another step, Hamtaro ran to the door. "Come on everybody! It's a nice day, so let's play outside!"
"I agree!" exclaimed Boss. "Let's go!" Luna didn't have time to move out of the way before being grabbed by a group of hamgirls and led outside.
"So this is what Hell is like," thought Luna.
The ham hams were soon underway with their outdoor fun, the guys playing a game of tag while Bijou, Pashmina, Penelope, Sandy, and Tennis, along with an unwilling Luna, sat on the grass. The goth hamster wanted to leave now more than ever.
"Let's see I can throw myself in that river and drowned myself," thought Luna. "But I could also slam my head on that rock and bleed to death or jump off the tallest tree and fall to my death. I got it! I'll climb to the top of the tree, jump off, hit myself in the head with a rock, fall into the river, and bleed to death while I drown!"
"Hello! Earth to Luna!" said Pashmina as she waved her paw in her face.
"What?" snapped the goth hamster, glaring at Pashmina.
"Um, we were just wondering if zere waz a boy you liked," explained Bijou.
Sandy nodded in agreement. "So, who's the lucky boyham?"
Luna looked at the girls as if they were speaking in some sort of made up language. "Love? That's nothing but an illusion created by the corporate conformist of the world! How could you let yourselves be dominated by such a myth, let alone those boys?"
The girls were silent for a few moments before Tennis spoke up. "Oh I see." She scooted closer to Luna, a promiscuous expression playing across her face. "I don't bend that way, but I don't mind some girl on girl action."
"I'm not a lesbian!" shouted Luna as she left her seat on the rock. "I'm not staying another moment with you freaks! I'm outta here!"
Although most of the girls looked confused and rejected, Tennis simply winked at the departing goth. "Later sweet cheeks!"
"Um, what's a lesbian?" asked Sandy.
"It's what I thought you were before I found out you liked Maxwell," explained Tennis.
Luna continued to rush away from the clubhouse before Hamtaro grabbed her by the paw. "Where are you going? We were just about to play ham and go seek. Wanna play?"
"How about you play ham and go fuck yourself!" spat Luna.
Hamtaro cocked his head to the side quizzically. "Heke? I've never heard of that game before. How do you play?"
The goth hamster was about to snap Hamtaro's neck when a thought came into her head. "Okay, I'll play with you guys, but only if I get to be it."
"Sure thing!" exclaimed Hamtaro. "It's only fair since you're new here!"
Luna turned around and covered her eyes. "Okay, I'll count to a hundred. One, two…" The ham hams scattered all over the area, ducking past plants and crawling into holes.
"Fifteen, sixteen…" continued Luna, looking around for any other hamsters. A wicked smile came across her face as she uncovered her eyes completely. "Idiots…I'm outta here."
The sun began to set over the busy city as Luna was about to make her exit from the park outskirts. Although she had eaten before her meeting with the ham hams, that was hours ago and she was hungry once more.
"I can't believe what I had to go through today!" moaned Luna as she rested on a flat rock. "Those ham hams are total weirdos, especially that Hamtaro! I just want today to end."
"Back again I see." Luna turned to see Sabu approach her once more, pulling his seed cart behind him.
Luna, however, wasn't too happy to see him. "What the heck kind of joke were you trying to play on me?"
"What are you talking about?" asked Sabu.
"I thought that clubhouse was full of hamsters like me!" explained the goth hamster.
"But they are," replied Sabu as he pulled a seed out of his cart. "They're all hamsters who need something to do while their humans are away. Your human was obviously away and you needed someone to keep you company."
Luna yanked the seed out of his paw. "If there's something I don't need, it's company! Especially not those ham hams! Why doesn't anyone understand that I want to be alone?" She hurried onto the sidewalk, dashing away from the seed vendor.
Sabu shook his head. "She needs to stop lying to herself."
I hope you liked the chapter! Sorry for having Luna drop the F-bomb, but i've had that line in my head since i thought of her character. Just a warning, the next couple of chapters are going to get sadder and more depressing. Please R&R!
