Chapter 4

Once we made it through the caves and after holding hands to go to the peak so we wouldn't get separated again (or paws in Hamtaro and Bijou's case) and we made it to the area with the monkey and the vendor to find that both of them were gone and that there was a banana peel on the ground... and when I saw it, I immediately knew that something was bad. The inside of the peel had obvious mold in it. "Uh oh... I feel bad... I think we may have accidentally gave him rotten bananas..." I frowned at the peel.

"We'll worry about that later. Right now, we should try and get to the peak," Hamtaro said as we saw a rope that led upwards to the top of the mountain, which we went to scale and, at the top, we saw a magenta-furred hamster next to none other than Spat himself! And I also saw a broken bridge to the right of them with a large gap in it.

"There you are, Spat! I knew you kidnapped that hamster!" Kana frowned at him angrily.

"Bah! Not you lot! Scat! Don't you know it's rude to barge into others' business?! PFFT! Now go and leave me alone!" Spat spouted as I then remembered something. Both he and Harmony both said that Spat hated love. So that gave me a bright idea.

"Hey, Spat?" I smiled with a flirtatious gaze and a wink. "Would you like to go on a date? I'd love to kiss you right now," I smiled, Kana, Hamtaro, and Bijou smiling at my plan as I approached Spat and he looked absolutely terrified!

"Wah! Get away from me, creep!" Spat exclaimed as he then tried to run to the right... and he ended up falling right through the broken part of the bridge!... At least, that's what I thought, until he then did something I didn't expect. His bat wings started to flap and he flew out of the hole and into the sky! "Don't do that! That would've been horribly, terribly uncomfortable! PFFT!" Spat exclaimed as I simply frowned at that.

"Peh. Guess those wings aren't all just for show, huh?" I frowned at him.

"You won't stop me that easily! I need to go and plot some more! Don't follow me! PFFT!" Spat fumed at us as he then flew off into the distance, the hamster in front of us managing to get the gag off of his mouth and sighing at us.

"I'll help you," Bijou said as she used her teeth and bit through the ropes and eventually freed the hamster.

"Whew! Freedom at last!... That horrible hamster told me there were sunflower seeds at the top of the mountain, so I followed him and, when we arrived, he knocked me out and tied me up... though I must admit, I didn't expect that humans would rescue me, let alone humans that are 5 inches tall," the hamster said.

"No worries. Now let's get you back to your friend. He's been so worried, he hasn't eaten once since you disappeared," Kana said with a smile as she and the rest of us were about to go down the cliff before I got an idea.

"Why walk down the caves the long way when I could carry all of us down there?" I smirked as I took out my shrink ray and hit myself with the human setting, my entire body growing back to its normal height, making everyone by me look surprised, especially the hamster we had just rescued. I then moved down the mountain a bit and held my hands to them. "Get on. I promise not to drop you," I smiled at them. They all jumped into my hands and I then carefully walked the rest of the way down the mountain until we reached the outside of the entrance to the caves, me placing everyone down on the ground before I hit myself with the hamster size beam.

"Whoa! You were like, gigantic one minute, then the next your hamster size! Zippity-Doodles, that's cool!" said a voice from the west as a hamster soon appeared, him being quite unique because of him wearing a cap on his head that was made of acorn shells.

"Thanks for the admiration. What's your name? Mine's Laura and this is Kana, Hamtaro, and Bijou," I introduced us, not knowing the name of the final hamster.

"And my name is Jick," the hamster smiled.

"Really? Well my name's Seedric. I'm an avid acorn collector! And I'm also searching for a secret hot spring hidden somewhere in this area. Once I find it, I'm making it a secret base!" the hamster introduced himself.

"Good luck with that," Hamtaro smiled at him as we then went back to the one hamster that Jick was companions with, him looking a bit surprised when we got him.

"Y-You! Where have you been all this time?!" the blue hamster asked.

"Well, we can explain. See, he was told by a bad hamster that there were more seeds at the summit, but he was knocked out and kidnapped by said hamster," Kana explained.

"I'm really sorry, Jall..." Jick sighed.

"You worried me sick, Jick! I don't ever want to lose you like that again! You are the most cherished friend that I have, so please, stay with me whenever we need to eat anything, okay?" Jall said with big eyes, which resulted in Jick smiling with tears in his eyes... and then we saw their broken hearts form into full hearts, a beeping sound happening from the Love Meter after we saved their relationship.

"Thanks for helping us reunite, friends! We're going to have a feast to celebrate now!" Jick smiled. I then looked at the sky and Kana isntinctively looked at her watch. It was 5 pm, which meant that Maria would be back home in under an hour!

"Sorry, but we can't stay! We need to get everyone back home before the day is done," I said as I hit myself and Kana with the human-size ray and afterwards, Kana picked up Bijou while I got Hamtaro. "Let's get going to Maria's!" I said as I noticed that we were in a small wooded area. And it was right by the small woods by the park! "Okay, if we walk quickly we can make it in 15 minutes," I said.

We then started to make our way to Maria's from out of the woods and on the sidewalks. We then finally made it to Maria's house and saw that her mom was gone, but her dad was still here. That meant that Maria's mom was going out to pick up Maria from her babysitting job. "Okay, Bijou... how do we get you inside without alerting Maria's dad?" Kana asked her, Bijou squeaking a bit as she jumped from Kana's grasp and started to climb up the tree that was by Maria's bedroom window. She then went out on a branch and jumped the rest of the way and into the window, her squeaking a bit when she got in there. "What did she say?" Kana asked as a note then fell on her from above.

I opened it and read it, the text being small, but readable. "I said, 'Goodbye, I'll see you tomorrow,'" the note read, me smirked at her words. "Okay, now we should get back to our homes too," I said as I suddenly felt quite hungry. The seeds that were in my stomach earlier grew with me, so I got tons of nutrients from them, but I was still hungry for human food rather than sunflower seeds. I immediately went back to my house after bidding farewell to Kana and I opened the lock on the security gate with the code.

After I got in, I noticed that Brandy was still sleeping and that his food bowl was empty while his water bowl was half-filled. "Okay, Hamtaro? You go ahead and get in how you normally get in while I feed and water Brandy, okay?" I smiled at him. Hamtaro then responded with his little squeaks before I let him on the ground and he showed how he got back in my room. He climbed the tree similar to Bijou and went the rest of the way into my room. The only difference was that the branch was closer to my window than Bijou's and it was thicker, so Hamtaro had no issues getting in.

I then filled up Brandy's water and food bowl, him hearing it and yawning as he got up and went to get his fill once more. "Good boy, Brandy. Thanks for guarding the house," I smirked at him as I unlocked the front door, entered it, then locked it up again. I felt my stomach bark at me after I entered the kitchen, me immediately grabbing some pizza pockets from the freezer and putting them in the microwave, but not before I noticed a second note that my parents left me that I completely missed when I woke up this morning.

I then read it aloud while the pizza pockets cooked. "By the way, I forgot to mention, dad's invention requires 2 double A batteries to run and it only lasts for 20 uses before needing a refill. Have fun while we're away and don't forget to feed and water Brandy every morning and evening," the note said, me smirking at it. "Good thing I only used it 11 times so far today... I should probably get at least 6 batteries then," I said after my meal finished cooking, me grabbing the box and beginning to eat it while I went to the supply closet, me getting 6 batteries and placing them in my purse. It was also home to a couple sunflower seeds, but now they were quite big because of me collecting them while I was small.

I continued my way up the stairs and into my room, me smiling at how Hamtaro was already atop the desk that I wrote in my journals. I didn't mind that he got out of his cage anymore. So long as he didn't leave me behind and so long as it wasn't a school day, I'd happily go with him anywhere. I finished eating my pizza pockets and placed the box in my garbage can in my room before sitting down at my desk and getting into my journal, something that I did every day was write a journal entry, me already having 4 journals completely filled of my different adventures... then again, I had a sneaking suspicion that Hamtaro may have had a hand in some of them, such as when dad said my sunhat led him to Kana and me hiding in a cave from a terrible storm on the beach... and then when my grandma's long lost friend's clock started to chime just as I walked by her... there were a lot of instances, now that I think about it. I'd have to ask Hamtaro at some point, but for now, I got into my journal and started to write down my experiences today.

Today was a very strange, odd, and incredibly exciting day! Not only do I get control of the house because of my parents going on a business trip, but I also got a fun new toy from my dad. I'm not going to say what exactly it does, but it's given me quite an adventure to look forward to for the coming days. I was able to travel with my friends in Hamtaro, Kana, and even Maria's hamster Bijou to a place called Sunny Peak. We've been given the task of taking care of a very bad hamster called Spat trying to ruin love for all hamsters. We've already saved 3 relationships for 3 different hamsters, and we know that there are many more to come. I can't wait to see if I can even invite Travis to join us at some point! Once he gets a day off from soccer practice, I'm definitely asking him to join us for our little adventure. ~

I smiled at Hamtaro and held him in my grasp, him smiling at me happily. "I still can't believe that we're going on these adventures together, Hamtaro... I wanted to know, do you think that, after I invite Kana and Travis over tomorrow, you could wait until we're your size again before we can head out?" I smiled at him. Hamtaro smiled and nodded his head, showing that he understood me. "Great! But I need to do the usual things of feeding and watering Brandy, locking all the doors and the gate, and getting breakfast before we head out... sorry, but seeds aren't nutritious enough for me," I giggled at him, making me smirk and wink at me in response. He then hopped off my hands and willingly went back to his cage, opening the door and going inside of his little house to sleep. "Good night, Hamtaro..." I smiled as I also got into my pajamas and went to bed myself. It would be another great day tomorrow and I was really happy to be able to share it with Hamtaro.
