Ch.4

A Trip to the Park

Here's ch.4! Please R&R and enjoy!

"Good morning everyone!" said Ace as he entered. "I'm not late or anything am I?"

"Of course not!" exclaimed Bijou. "We're all going to zee park today. Would you like to come?"

Ace smiled. "Of course." Boss pulled a face of disgust as he watched Bijou and Ace converse with one another.

"That should be me talkin' with Bijou," muttered Boss. "Besides, doesn't he have Sparkle to flirt with?"

"Hiya Ace!" exclaimed Hamtaro. "Where's Sparkle?" Bijou felt like puking upon hearing that question come out of his mouth.

"She's out shopping with Tennis" answered Ace.

"Shopping?" Boss repeated to himself. "More like planning against me! I know he and Sparkle are up to something!" Boss looked up to see Cappy staring at him.

"Uh, Boss," said Cappy. "Who are you talking to?" Before Boss could make up an answer, the door to the clubhouse opened, allowing Panda to collapse inside, along with a small boat and a couple of oars.

"My paws are killing me!" groaned Panda, panting between every other word.

"Alright!" said Boss as he got out of armchair. "Now that you're here, we can head out to the park!"

"Can I take a short break first?" asked Panda, who was still buried under the boat. "I'm not sure if I can carry that thing by myself again!"

As the ham hams arrived at the park, they made a mad dash towards the base of the trees where an ocean of fallen nuts and acorns lay, waiting to be taken. Stan walked over to Pashmina as she began stuffing an acorn into her backpack.

"Hey Pashy baby!" said Stan. "Check out my awesome nuts!" Sandy's ribbon immediately snagged his tail and pulled him away from the pink scarf-wearing hamster.

"What have I said about making perverted jokes to my friends?" asked Sandy as she stepped on his back with one of her foot paws.

"But I wasn't!" whined Stan as he held up two nuts. "Seriously, these are huge!"

Sandy quickly released her brother, slightly embarrassed. "Sorry bro."

"Do you think everything I say to your friends is an attempt to hit on them?" asked Stan as he rose to his paws.

Sandy sweat dropped. "I'm not even gonna answer that."

"You know," said Stan. "You must be the perverted one if the first thing that comes to your mind when I say nuts is that!" The rest of the ham hams turned away in horror as Sandy went at her brother like a lion at an injured gazelle.

"Hey Bijou," said Ace as he approached her. "Take a look at the tree over there." Bijou gazed at awe at the tree across the lake. It was completely covered in large acorns.

"Wanna go grab some of them?" asked Ace.

"But how are we suppose to get across zee lake?" asked Bijou.

"Panda brought a boat, remember?" answered Ace as he grabbed her paw, causing Bijou to blush slightly. "Don't worry; they won't even notice we're gone."

"I guess a quick trip couldn't do any harm" answered Bijou. The two quickly grabbed the canoe and were soon en route towards the island. Although Ace had assured her that no one would notice their absence, one hamster stood at the base of one of the trees, his temper rising as he watched the two sail away.

"I can't believe he's tryin' to sneak off with my girl!" growled Boss.

Dexter watched Boss nervously. "I wonder what Boss is so angry about?"

"Beats me," answered Howdy. "Maybe he's goin' nuts! Get it?" He immediately belted into an uproar of chuckles as Dexter sweat dropped.

"You're nuts if you think that's funny" muttered Dexter.

"I can't believe I'm actually doing zis!" thought Bijou. "I was going to spend zee day hanging out with zee rest of zee girls and Hamtaro, but here I am sneaking off with Ace!" She looked up to see Ace rowing, his fur glistening in the early afternoon sun.

"Oh my goodness!" thought Bijou. His abs are amazing!"

"Is something wrong?" asked Ace as he noticed her stares of admiration. "You've been a bit quiet."

Bijou shook her head. "It's nozing! I'm, um, just eager to gather your nuts, I mean gather those nut!" Ace smiled as if he didn't notice her comment.

"Oh great!" thought Bijou as she mentally hit herself. "Now I'm zinking like Stan!"

"I guess I should be thankful for your silence," said Ace. "Whenever I'm with Sparkle, she never shuts up!"

"And zat annoying tone she talks with is unbearable!" added Bijou.

"And how she only talks about herself!" Ace and Bijou said together. The two were laughing so hard, it was beginning to rock the boat. Bijou was thrown forward, causing her to land on top of Ace. The two blushed, noticing how close their faces were to each other. After several seconds of awkward silence, Bijou quickly lifted herself off of him.

"I-I so sorry about zat!" she said quickly. "It was an accident!"

"That's alright," said Ace. "I don't mind help someone as stunning as you." Bijou's face turned bright red.

By the time Ace and Bijou returned, the sun was beginning to set. Some of the hamsters had already left while others reminisced on the day's adventures.

"I can't believe zat we spent so much time on zee island," said Bijou as she stepped out of the boat. "Pashmina, Penelope, and Sandy are probably made at me!"

"They're your friends," said Ace. "I'm sure they'll forgive you."

Bijou nodded understandingly. "And zank you for giving me a ride to zee island!"

"The pleasure was all mine" answered Ace. "We better get home before out backpacks burst. Perhaps we can get together sometime."

Bijou's face once again turned bright red. "I'd love to!"

Ace smiled approvingly. "Great! Au revoir beau!" With that said, Ace walked away, leaving Bijou blushing greatly.

Ace walked down the busy urban street, amazed that none of the humans had noticed him. His owner's apartment wasn't much farther, all he had to do was enter the alley, which contained his secret entrance/exit. However, he noticed he wasn't alone when he entered the alley.

"Oh! Good evening Boss!" said Ace. "Out for a stroll?"

"You better back off of Bijou if you know what's good for you!" snarled Boss. "She's mine!"

"Bijou never said a thing about having a boyham," said Ace. "Let alone you."

"Just stay away from her!" shouted Boss.

"Make me" said Ace. Boss charged at Ace, his paw in a fist ready to be smashed into Ace's jaw. Ace, however, grabbed Boss's arm, gave it a sharp twist, and delivered a knee to the large hamster chest. Boss tired to regain the breath that was knocked out of him, but was sent sprawling from a kick from the smaller hamster.

Ace walked over to Boss and knelt down by his head. "Do yourself a favor and give up already."

"I know you're up to something!" shouted Boss. "I'm not letting you or Sparkle get away with it!"

"I'm not letting you or anyone get in my way!" said Ace before walking away.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter! I hope to get the next chapter up on the twenty seventh. Please R&R!
