[City Park, mid-day]
Bijou: *Bijou, the small white hamster with two pigtails held by blue ribbons, walked through the park with a big smile on her face. Today was the feeling of greatness, but Bijou thought that was probably because she had the entire day to Hamtaro and the clubhouse, for her owner Maria was out for a while, to a big piano lesson, which will last three days. With this great feeling she hummed Hamtaro's tune.*
?: Bijou! Over here! *Bijou looked across the way, and on the green grass was Pashmina, Penelope, and Sandy. They was all waving her down with glee from Bijou's presents.*
Bijou: Hm...? *Bijou smiles grew greatly and she waved them down too.* BONJOUR EVERYONE! *Bijou quickly dashed over to them*
*The three other Ham girls ran over to greet her too.*
Pashmina: Bijou! *She was the first to reach her. Pashmina was a tan and white hamster with a pink scarf on.* What are you doing out so early today?
Bijou: Maria has a piano lesson that will last three days! *Her excitement for the possibilities got to her, and she rubbed it out on her blushing cheeks. She shook her head* Three days I get to be out of the house!
Penelope: OOKWEE! *Penelope, a baby hamster with a yellow blanket over her whole body, was hopping with joy.*
Sandy: Wow! I never get that lucky. *Sandy smiled and pulled out her twirling ribbon and gave it a spin. Sandy was a yellow hamster with tiger strips on her head. She also had a ribbon on her tail.*
Bijou: Neither do I...*Bijou stared at the ground with a hint of embarrassment.*
Pashmina: You could use this time to do a project, or create something with all this free time!
Sandy: You could like, totally do something awesome! *Sandy stopped her spin on her ribbon.*
Penelope: OOKWEE!
Bijou: Mhhmmm... *Bijou seemed to be spaced out, with her eyes still on the ground.*
*The three girl's smiles seemed to pause.*
Pashmina: Something on your mind?
Bijou: UHHHH! *Bijou shot them a quick stare, and shook her head again* Itz NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL!
Sandy: Oh no girls, looks like this isn't like...gal time anymore *Sandy threw a knowing glance towards Pashmina. Pashmina only smiled back.*
Bijou: *Bijou finally relaxed a bit, but her eyebrows cocked.* ...Then...what time iz it?
Sandy: *Sandy held her cheeks with her paws to hold back excitement.* Its like... you know, love dove time!
Bijou: W-WHAT?! What are you talking about?! *Bijou backed up.*
Pashmina: *Pashmina smiled.* Aw? Defensive over something Bijou?
Bijou: W-What would I have to be defensive over? *Bijou shot a fake smile and quickly walked past them.* Y-You girls are zo silly!
*Sandy and Pashmina grabbed a paw each and stopped her.*
Sandy: How about a ham guy?
Bijou: O-Oh! *Bijou knowingly tried to pull* You must mean Maxwell! M-MAYBE HE'S AT THE CLUBHOUSE! *Bijou pulled even harder*
Sandy: Nah-uh. *Sandy pulled with confidences.* I'm not talking about my Ham guy... *The girls pulled Bijou closer.* I'm talking about you know who...
Bijou: ...*She tilted her head, but she couldn't fake a blush* ...Heke?
[Laura's house]
Laura: *Laura was in her room and she was looking at clothing* Ohhh...what looks more...professional...*She looked at two different suits. A Black and a red one.*
Hamtaro: *Hamtaro, the white and orange hamster, sat in his hamster carrier and watched Laura contently, Hamtaro tilted his head.* Uh-oh! There she goes again. I wonder whats she's getting dressed up for...
Mrs. Haruna: LAURA! YOU CANT BE LATE FOR THIS ONE, THIS TIME, YOUNG LADY!
Laura: Oh man...*She walked over to a duffel bag and stuffed them both in* COMING! *But instead, Laura kneeled by Hamtaro's carrier cage.* Sorry I cant take you with me...*Hamtaro could see a sweat drop.* And what's worse is I will be gone for three days! You see...Maria is going to a piano lesson for big shots, and I get to go to learn too! *She got up pumped* I just know I can play!
Mrs. Haruna: LAURA!
Laura: AH! *She grabbed the bag and stood. She was quick to get out the door.* BYE HAMTARO!
Hamtaro: Whaaat...? Three days? That's insane! *Hamtaro started to rub his head.* Kush, Kush... *Hamtaro looked up.* But on the other hand... I can hang out with friends for three whole days! Just think of the adventures I could have with all the Ham Hams!
*Hamtaro heard the car doors shut. Hamtaro got out of his carrier and quickly dashed across the floor and up the desk. Hamtaro contently stared outside. He watched Laura leave in the car. *
Hamtaro: BYE LAURA! ... Now for me to leave the house... *Hamtaro quickly jumped off the window's ledge and onto the floor. Hamtaro turned left and slipped behind the dresser. Having to struggle to get through the tight space, Hamtaro made his way towards a hole in the wall. Ascending through it, it lead to a hole to the outside on top of the roof. Hamtaro then ran towards the gutter and jumped down the pipe.* YEAAAH! *Hamtaro slid down the pipe fast, then Hamtaro reached the light at the end and flew out of the pipe. Hamtaro relaxed as he was airborne for a few moments, however, he landed onto something soft It was a brown dog.* Hiya Brandy! Do me a favor...
Hamtaro: *Hamtaro hopped onto the grass and faced Brandy.* Watch the house... I'll be back in three days! Bai Bai! *Hamtaro waved and ran off.*
Brandy: …? *Brandy blinked and looked at him as he ran off.*
[Forest, near the oak three]
Bijou: *Bijou walked in front of her girl-hams, looking down at the ground, feeling slightly embarrassed.* ...
Sandy: *The other girls was right behind.* Oh, she's just shy! I mean, you've seen how she acts...
Pashmina: *Pashmina and Penelope both looked at her.* Yeah, but can you blame her? Hamtaro is...a bit...
Sandy: Clueless...?
Pashmina: *Pashmina and Penelope stopped walking* Yeah...
Bijou: *Bijou stopped.* I don't know girls...I have no idea how to talk to him about...
Sandy: C'mon Bijou... Hamtaro helped me and Maxwell so he's not all brain-drained.
Bijou: *Bijou looked at them.* So what...should I say?
Pashmina: Be yourself! Hamtaro would understand it easier that way!
Penelope: OOKWEE!
Bijou: *Bijou cupped her paws.* But, how hard is it to be yourself when you ask someone about their deepest feelings!?
*Sandy and Pashmina slowly exchanged unsure expressions.*
Sandy: Very...
?: Oh wow Hamtaro! Three days? Isn't that a bit long to be staying over at the clubhouse?
Hamtaro: It's okay Oxnard! Laura is going to this piano thingy! She even packed food, so she has to be staying awhile!
Bijou: *Bijou held her face.* Oh my...
*Pashmina, Penelope, and Sandy got in Bijou's face suddenly.*
Pashmina/Sandy: NOWS YOUR BIG CHANCE! *Then they took Penelope and took off into the deep part of the bushes.*
Bijou: B-B-B-BUT, *Bijou's voice went to a harsh whisper.* what about Oxnard!?
Hamtaro: It'll be like a sleep over with Boss! I hope he doesn't mind.
Bijou: *Bijou slowly rubbed her blush out as both Hamtaro, and Oxnard stepped into view. They both stared at each other with smiles.* B-Bonjour Hamtaro, a-and Oxnard! *Oxnard was a chubby hamster with cow-like spots. He always carried his favorite seed. They both slowly turned to Bijou*
Hamtaro: Hi Bijou! Guess what? I'm a free Ham for three full days and nights!
Bijou: A-As...am I...*Bijou shuffled her feet shyly, thinking of the right words.*
Oxnard: What? You too? Gosh, you two are lucky.
Hamtaro: *Hamtaro stepped forward quickly.* Wait!? Is Maria going on a trip to play Piano too!?
Bijou: ...mm...hmmm...Um...
Hamtaro: Alright! We should do something fun!
Bijou: ...Right...umm...uhh
*Sandy, Pashmina, and Penelope all poked their head through some bushes.*
Pashmina: Oh boy...
Sandy: *Sandy hisses under her voice.* At least say somethinnng!
Bijou: ...*Bijou faked a smile with closed eyes.* UH UH- OXNARD! Boss said...h...he left you a snack!
Oxnard: *Oxnard was instantly interested.* W-What kinda snack?
Bijou: *Bijou tilts her head.* H...He didn't say. Something big.
Oxnard: Big!? ON-MY-WAYYYYY! *Oxnard zoomed straight out of there.*
Hamtaro: You know, if his stomach entered a race, he'll earn a lot of gold medals.
Bijou: *Now that she was alone with Hamtaro, her blush got redder, and she turned towards where Oxnard ran to hide it.* Uhh...huh...
Hamtaro: *Hamtaro shot one of his paws up.* We should also go to the clubhouse!
Bijou: *Bijou jumped to that.* W-WAIT! Um... *Bijou slowly turned to him with a smile.*
Hamtaro: *Hamtaro relaxed.* Hm? What is it Bijou?
Bijou: ...T...T...There was something...I wanted to ask you...
Hamtaro: Huh? *Hamtaro fully turned to her.* What was it?
Bijou: *Bijou took a deep sign.* ...What...iz you're...feelings towards me...?
Hamtaro: Feelings...? *Hamtaro had a sweat drop come down.* Well, you're a really good friend!
Bijou: ...mhmm...What if I said...I thought...of you...*Bijou shuffled her foot paw.* ...a-...as...
Hamtaro: ...Heke?
Bijou: *Bijou cupped her paws.* What if I said I liked you very much!?
Hamtaro: *Hamtaro smiled greatly* I like you a lot too!
Bijou: *Bijou was shocked* Y-You...do?
Hamtaro: Yeah! I like all the Ham Hams!
*Sandy, Pashmina, and even Penelope fell backwards out of the bushes.*
Bijou: *Bijou shook her head with a frown.* D-Don't you understand!?
Hamtaro: *Hamtaro rubbed the back of his head.* What is it that I don't understand...?
Bijou: THAT I LO-
?: Hey! Hamtaro! Bijou! What's happening! *Stan came sliding by on his green skateboard. He was Sandy's twin brother, who had the same fur colors.**
Bijou: ...*Bijou looked down, and she could feel tears forming quickly, but anger building fast.*
Hamtaro: Stan! How ya been?
Stan: Just fine Ham-dude! *Stan took out his maracas and shook them towards Bijou* How's Bijou doin?
Bijou: ...
Hamtaro: She's great! Me and her get three days without our humans!
Sandy: *Sandy spoke too low to be heard.* Staaaan get outta here!
Bijou: *Bijou looked down, because now tears started to stream, and she was about to burst from both anger and sadness.*
Stan: Coolio man... Hey! I saw this really cool poster. I'm about to go get it. Wanna come with? You might be interested Hamtaro.
Hamtaro: Sounds like fun! *Hamtaro turns to Bijou.* Do you want to come too-
Bijou: GO YOURSELF! *Bijou soon ran hard. She bumped into Stan, causing him to fall off his skateboard backwards. Tears flew out of her eyes as she ran off.*
Stan: OOF! What's with the hostility!?
Hamtaro: B-Bijou! *Hamtaro reached out.* What's wrong!?
*Soon, Sandy hopped up fast.*
Sandy: W-WE'RE GO FOR HER! *Sandy looked at the others who was still down.* LET'S GO GIRLS!
Hamtaro/Stan: *Although Stan was still down, both of their heads tilted.* Huh?!
*Sandy ran, and soon Pashmina and Penelope dashed out of the bushes, chasing Bijou.*
Stan: ...What was that about...?
Hamtaro: *Hamtaro crossed his arms with his head tilted.* I'm not sure... but Bijou's... mad at me...
Stan: Ham-dude, that's girls for ya. *Stan soon got up and pressed forward with his skateboard* Maybe some of the hams know why Bijou feeling so blue.
Hamtaro: ...*Hamtaro was still staring.* Yeah, maybe... *Hamtaro turned around and started walking.* But, I don't want to leave things the way they are, so I guess I can't hang out at the clubhouse too long.
[Clubhouse]
*Inside the clubhouse was all the other boy ham hams. Maxwell, a brown hamster with long ears was reading his book. Panda, with matching colors to his name, was working on his carpentry. Cappy, a white hamster with a green swimming cap, was trying on different hats. The others, Boss, Oxnard, Dexter, and Howdy, was in middle of conversation.*
Boss: I told you! I don't have any snacks for you! *Boss snacked on a sunflower. Boss was a large hamster that wore a helmet that had a moon symbol on it.* krump...krump...
Oxnard: Awww, you don't have on teenee weenee snack you got for me? ... *Oxnard looked at the sunflower seed he already had in his hand.* ... Like... something big?
Boss: krump...krump...nope. *Oxnard looked down.*
Dexter: I TOLD YOU! *Dexter was in a headbutt match with Howdy. Dexter was a white and gray hamster with glasses.* WHEN PASHMINA COMES IN, I'LL ASK HER TO THE SUNFLOWER FIELD!
Howdy: By the time she comes and you ask her! I would of already gotten her a sunflower! **Howdy was a brown hamster with a red apron.*
Dexter: *Dexter pushed Howdy harder.* YOU'RE BEST JOKE YET!
Howdy: AHAH! *Howdy pushed back just as hard.* Get with the punch lines mister! "YOUR" MY BEST JOKE!
Dexter: WHY YOU!
Hamtaro: *Hamtaro opens the door.* Hey guys! How's it going?
*Everyone was too busy to notice Hamtaro as Stan walked in.*
Stan: *Stan shook his rattles* Bring on the ladies...
Hamtaro: Don't you remember the girls took off after Bijou?
?: DID YOU SAY BIJOU!? *Suddenly, Boss rushed over to Hamtaro. Boss, however, was looking around behind the two, clearly looking for Bijou.* So where is Bijou?!
*When Boss rushed over, the Ham hams stopped their devices and finally pay attention.*
Stan: ...*Stan dropped his maracas to his side and tilted his head.* ….Um...she's actually upset...
Boss: Huh?! *Boss looked at Hamtaro.* Bijou is UPSET?! WHY?!
Hamtaro: *Hamtaro backed up from Boss.* I was... wondering if you guys could tell me.
Maxwell: *Maxwell hopped off his chair and carried his book to Hamtaro.* Okay, okay... Hamtaro start over.
Hamtaro: ... Um, hard to say... *Hamtaro crossed his arms and pondered the hour that passed.* Everything seemed okay at first... but when Stan came by, Bijou started to get upset...
Stan: WOAH WOAH- *Before Stan could say anything, Boss walked in front of Stan.*
Boss: Whats this HUH?! *Boss grabbed Stan and started to crush him* WHAT DID YOU DO TO BIJOU?!
Stan: N-N-NOTHING BOSS-MAN! I-ACK- SAID NOTHING!
Boss: OH SUREEEEEEEE!
Hamtaro: Its true! *Hamtaro helplessly reached to the two.* Stan didn't have time to say anything. Bijou just got upset... it was weird...
Boss: ... *Boss slowly eyed Stan.* ...
Stan: *Stan's head was cocked lazily back.* Let... me down.
Boss: ...*Boss dropped him.* Anything else Hamtaro? Anything noticeable?
Hamtaro: ... Hmmm, *Hamtaro thought about it.* Well, the other girls was there...
Maxwell: *Maxwell's smile lightened up.* So that's where Sandy is! *Maxwell suddenly got a blush.* I was hoping she would get here...*Suddenly Maxwell frowned.* But...she went to Bijou's aid?
Hamtaro: Yeah... right after Bijou started to cry... *Hamtaro looked down.* Maybe it was something "I" did.
Oxnard: *Oxnard had his seed on his head as he ate another.* What do you think you did...?
Boss: *Boss turned quickly to Oxnard.* IS THAT ONE OF MY SEEDS?! *Oxnard tilted his head in slight worry.*
Hamtaro: ...That's just it! I didn't say anything hurtful...
Maxwell: Well gang, guessing isn't going to tell us the answer! We should go right to Sandy!
Hamtaro: Yeah! She should know why she's upset by now! Are you guys with me?
Ham-Hams: YEAH!
[City Park's tree]
Bijou: *Bijou sat on top of a high branch, crying. She would be crying harder, but she had her girl-hams around her, comforting her.* ...I...was...s-so foolish...
Pashmina: Oh no your not Bijou... I bet Hamtaro would of melted in your arms if it wasn't for Stan.
Sandy: *Sandy clenched her paws.* oooh, that Stan, wanting to drag him off like that..
Bijou: Hamtaro's the one at fault! *Bijou sobbed harder* I TOLD HIM, AND HE DIDNT LISTEN TO A WORD I SAID! I SAID MY FEELINGS!
*The girls went silent.*
Pashmina: I don't think you did...
Sandy: Yeah! I think with Hamtaro you need to use more blunt words, like... Love!
Penelope: OOKWEE!
Bijou: OH SURE! I bet SPARKLIE did that TOO HUH?!
Pashmina: *Pashmina's expression sadden.* S-She has a point... she did tell Hamtaro her feelings, and he treated her the same...*Pashmina stepped forward.* B-But Hamtaro was still clueless!
Bijou: ...W-Well until Maria gets back I DONT WANT TO SEE HAMTARO AT ALL
Sandy: You can't just... give up... Not tell you. like, know for sure...
Bijou: I CAN AND I WILL! IF NOT, YOU THREE GO AWAY!
Pashmina: Oh please Bijou! Don't be like that!
Penelope: Ookwee...
Sandy: Hey, she needs alone time... Bijou... We're here for you, just holler k?
Bijou: ...*Bijou slowly hugged her knees and nodded gloomily.*
*The three other girls stared at the depressed Bijou, not knowing what else to do they got up and slowly climbed the tree.*
[Forest]
Hamtaro: BADDA BADDA BADDA BADDA BADDA! *Hamtaro was gaining ahead of everyone, forcing everyone to run fast.*
Boss: *Boss was ahead of the others, and everyone was sweating.* WOAH! Hamtaro! Slow down will ya?! We can barely can keep up here!
Hamtaro: *Hamtaro looked back.* B-But, I'm worried about Bijou!
Maxwell: *Maxwell was panting.* I-I'm sure Bijou isn't running around! Even a speed walk could get to her fast! So can we please slow down?!
Cappy: *Cappy was carrying a red sauce pan, which he usually used for a Ham Cap.* My sauce pan is getting heavy!
Hamtaro: I guess... *Hamtaro started to slow down.* ... you're right...
Boss: *When Boss caught up, they finally slow down to a stop.* ...Man, when have you EVER been this worked up Hamtaro?
Oxnard: Ufm! *Oxnard fell forward.* I get that worked up when I lose a few seeds...
Hamtaro: I'm sorry Boss! *Hamtaro clenched his fists.* But, I don't like to make my friends unhappy!
Boss: I understand, but you rushing up on her could just make things worse! You need a level head.
Hamtaro: *Hamtaro looked down worriedly* I didn't think about it that way...
Maxwell: ...*Maxwell looked up ahead.* Maybe she went home...if she was just walking around, she probably would go to the clubhouse...you know how she is in the outside and all...
Hamtaro: But- But she has three whole days by herself! She wouldn't waste it by herself! ... *Hamtaro sat down and rubbed his forehead with his paws.* oooh, I hope I'm not ruining the whole day for her...
*The Ham hams all sadden as they stared at Hamtaro.*
Boss: ...Maybe...we should leave her be...
?: There they are!
Hamtaro: Huh...? *Hamtaro stood and turned. He saw running towards them was all the other girls, besides Bijou.* Its the girls!
Maxwell: *Maxwell stood by Hamtaro.* Sandy! There you are!
Sandy: *Sandy stopped besides them.* Hi Maxwell... *Sandy drew her attention right towards Hamtaro.* Good going Hamtaro! Don't you know how to talk to a lady?
Hamtaro: I-I didn't say anything mean! I thought we was getting along great... *Hamtaro looked down with a sigh.* What did I do...?
Pashmina: ...*Pashmina signed.* ...He really is clueless...
Penelope: Ookwee...
Stan: So where is Bijou? *Stan crossed his arms.*
Boss: Maybe we should make Hamtaro apologize...*Boss looked away.* What DID he do by the way?
Sandy: Uh... *Sandy rubbed the back of her head.* You know... like, he didn't word things right...
Pashmina: What we should tell you is that Bijou will tell you, Hamtaro...We don't want to spoil your friendship...if we told you, she might NEVER come back to the clubhouse.
The Boy Hams: That sounds bad...
Hamtaro: *Hamtaro stepped forward.* T-Then maybe I should go!
Pashmina: *Pashmina and Penelope shook his head.* No...Not now. She is very upset still...She even said she might be home for all three days before she goes back to the clubhouse...
Hamtaro: What! No way! *Hamtaro was rubbing his forehead even faster.* I really did ruin everything!
Sandy: *Sandy stepped forward in worry.* W-Wait! Like, us girls will go to her and talk to her! We can tell you feel horrible, so MAYBE she'll come back and give it another shot...
Hamtaro: *Hamtaro stopped rubbing his head and looked down upset.* I hope so...
Pashmina: But listen Hamtaro. When she does and IF she does...you REALLY need to listen to her. Understand what she is getting at, k?
Hamtaro: I will! *Hamtaro looked determined.* I-I'll say all the right things, for sure!
Pashmina: Sure. You better. Bijou is a good friend to ALL of us... *Pashmina and Penelope turned and started on their way.*
Sandy: Hamtaro... just understand her "feelings" and you'll both work things out... Wish us luck! *Sandy then took off after the other two girls.*
Maxwell: Sandy WAIT! *Maxwell reached out, but he failed to reach her.* ...*Maxwell signed.* She's gone...
Stan: Got something on your mind Max?
Maxwell: *A blush slowly formed.* N-No...I m-mean maybe...*Maxwell looked up.* B-But we need to focus on Bijou first!
Hamtaro: Bijou... *Hamtaro looked up.* I'm sorry...
[Park tree branch.]
Bijou: ...H-He's not looking for anyone...H-He's probably in love with Sparkle...or no one...
?: Bijou!
Bijou: Hm? *Bijou wiped her tears and looked down. Once again, Sandy, Pashmina, and Penelope ran across the grass. It wasn't long until they climbed the tree.*
Sandy: *All three was panting.* Man, all this running around can make like, a girl hungry!
Pashmina: *Pashmina was panting even harder then Sandy was.* I know! And I just ate...
Bijou: *Her sad expression went to confusion.* ...What iz it?
Sandy: We like, spoke to Hamtaro!
Bijou: *Bijou frowned in anger.* W-Why?!
Pashmina: We just had small talk. We didn't say anything extreme...
Sandy: And he like, feels horrible about making you upset...
Bijou: ...Let me guess...he's clueless... *Bijou looked sadly down, for she already guessed the answer.*
Pashmina: But he really really will listen this time!
Sandy: He even said he'll use the correct words this time.
Bijou: *Bijou was now more mad then sad.* And whatz THAT?! "Oh, Bijou, I like all my friendz!"
Sandy: Uuhh... *Sandy and Pashmina exchanged unsure expressions.*
Bijou: Hamtaro isn't a REAL HAM! He's a child!
Penelope: *Penelope looked down.* Ookwee...
Pashmina: Penelope right... don't think like that...
Bijou :...I'mmm *Bijou looked down.* sorry...but I haz tried zo many timez to win his heart, but he alwayz seems so dull about anything with feelings...it's like he was never taught about why boy hams and girl hams even love each other...you know?
Sandy/Pashmina: ...We know *They both look down, now also sad.*
*All four girls stared down in silence, pondering what the right thing to do was.*
Bijou: ...Let's-
?: Maybe I can be the heir, to your solution...
*The ham girls looked up on a branch much higher then theirs, and there they saw a white hamster covered in a black cloak flapping in the wind. All three had never ever seen this ham before.*
Bijou: ...*Bijou cocked her head.* ...Who are you? *Bijou knew all the other hams around here, and even lots from Sweet Paradise, but never once had she saw this ham.*
?: *He had never turned towards the girl, his mind was on something else.* ... You may call me by what you see... *He then turned his head just slight enough for the girls to see a masquerade mask covering half his face, namely his eyes.*
Pashmina: A-A...mask?
Masquerade: A Masquerade mask...to be specific...which you can call me...Masquerade...
Bijou : ...Heke...? *She slightly tilted her head.*
Masquerade: I felt your faint heart Bijou... I have only one word of advice... Give up... or Give in *Masquerade swung out one of his arms and piece of paper, tied by a small string, flew out of his arm.* ... I'll be watching for your answer.
Bijou: ...? *The paper slowly floated right on her lap, guided by the string. She looked at it, and it was a picture of a white rose. There was words on it, but Bijou didn't know how to read.* ...Heke? *Bijou looked up at Masquerade* What are you talking- *However, before she could question the masked ham, he was already gone.*
Sandy: *She held up her paws in worry.* He was like... freaky.
Bijou: ...*Bijou stared at the photo.* ...What answer? Give up? ...Give in?...
Sandy: Let me see that! *Sandy ran past her sweeping the paper up.* ...Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm... mmm?
Bijou: ...? *Pashmina and Penelope looked at Sandy along with Bijou.*
Pashmina: What does it say?
Sandy: Uh... I have a slight idea... *Sandy tilted it.* It's kinda like a... map.
Bijou: ...A map? Like...treasure?
Sandy: ... *Sandy turned around and slowly walked up. She turned the page so Bijou, Pashmina and Penelope could see it.* I think it leads to that flower...
Bijou: ...Okay...but *She looked from the page to Sandy.* What is this flower? It looks like...a rose...
Sandy: I'm not sure... but... I can't make out all the words... but there is one I see that is like, completely obvious...
Bijou: ...What'z that?
Sandy: Love...
Bijou/Pashmina: LOVE?!
Bijou: *Bijou grabbed the page and stared hard at it.* ...*Thoughts went through her mind fast. The possibilities ran through her mind even more.* ...B-...But I want to know more!
Sandy: Don't worry... I'm going to sneak Maxwell away so I can have him translate the words...
Bijou: *Bijou stood up and clenched the page.* Absolutely not!
Sandy: *Sandy formed a confused expression.* Huh?
Bijou: Boy hams have a great habit of spreading things! If we tell even Maxwell anything about it, they'll figure us out! ...*Bijou looked down.* ...If this rose is the key to Hamtaro's heart...*Bijou looked up determined.* Then only "I" want to tell him about it! Not Maxwell!
Pashmina: But what if it doesn't exist! *Pashmina walked besides them.* What if that hamster's crazy!?
Bijou: ...This...*Bijou looked at it.* This wasn't just drawn...this is a page from a book...*Bijou looked up again determined.* Even from a book of legendz, I want to find it! ...*Suddenly a idea left her expression blank* I KNOW! *Bijou hopped off and slid down the tree.*
Sandy: Bijou!? *Sandy looked down the tree.* What is it!?
Pashmina: *Pashmina and Penelope exchanged expression.* Lets go Penelope!
Penelope: OOKWEE! *They both followed.*
