A/N: Today I will make a shout-out to everyone!! But anyways, here's a quick summary of the chapter (It's much longer than the last one!) Boss is feeling jealous, but doesn't know what to do. But before he can think of what he can do, Hamtaro and Bijou are at the clubhouse already (Oh yeah, and the "wired spin ball" I was talking about was the one that everyone jumps on in the episode "Come out Bijou!"... sorry if I didn't make that clear!), but they're not alone! Who else is there? I think the title makes it pretty obvious. Oh yeah, this chapter is very suspenseful, so don't read it unless you plan on sleeping tonight... XD Anyways, here are my shout-outs:
lil sandy: Hello Sammy! Um... no no no! You've got it all wrong... I may seem like an angel on ff.net, but in reality, I am... ehh, there might be young people here, so I won't go into details... WHAT?! You STILL say you're more evil than me? YOU WANNA TAKE THIS OUTSIDE?!?!
Katy-chan: Yep, Maxy's ok... and he plays a big part in, oh, the next couple of chapters or so, so you oughta like it! Along with other Maxwell fans... *turns and looks at lil sandy and sammy*
AeroShamu: Don't be ridiculous, Aero, your writing is a lot better than mine!
Jade Stellar: Just in case you didn't know, this is kind of a B+B fic... so if you...um...REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY...like H+B, please don't flame...heh...Don't worry, Hamtaro's dream will make sense in time.
Jessie the Rabid Fangirl: Well, that's an astonishing review! I'm glad you agree with me and my reasons for writing this story. I know I might make some H+B fans upset, but I'm lucky that I've only gotten one flame yet, considering there are soooooo many H+B fans here! I also like H+B as long as it's written the right way. B+B is good too, but there aren't many writers of B+B fics, and I got really..."iffy" after seeing "Bijou's Favorite Ribbon"... What about Boss? His feelings? I waited for someone else to write about this topic, but... it took too long! So I started writing, and a few months later I posted it here on ff.net!
Well here's Chapter 7! After all, you didn't just come here to read shout-outs, did ya?
Chapter 7: Beware the Cat!
The next morning, Boss woke up in a tree branch at Acorn Mountain. He woke up with a smile, but it became a frown when he woke up to find that no one was there. "I should've known it was a dream," Boss said with a sigh. Oddly enough, he had fallen asleep to the same dream that Hamtaro had. "I wonder if it meant anything?" Boss thought, "No, of course not. Dreams don't mean anything, they're just," Boss yawned mid-sentence, "dreams. Well, anyway, I guess it's about time I went back home. I'll bet I know who is there already anyway," Boss said, already picturing Bijou and Hamtaro holding hands and playing on the wired spin-ball. His emotions quickly changed from depression to excitement. Not happy excitement, but a bit of angry excitement. He wasn't as full as rage as when he had snapped the other day, but there was anger and jealousy inside him. He quickly began to scurry down the tree and scatter to the clubhouse as fast as he could.
The chipmunks, squirrels and birds of the forest were awoken to the loud "Dobo-dobo" of Boss's feet. One chipmunk was still sleeping, but was waken by another one who began to chase it. When one of them landed into Boss's path, he gladly let it pass by. Odd, because Boss was usually easily frustrated by creatures, especially ones that weren't hamsters. The birds awoke with joy also, and began singing. Boss noticed it almost sounded like the same song he had heard in the background of his dream, but he kept running. The squirrels, however, were not happy to be woken up. They squealed and shook their fists at Boss. One of them even threw an acorn at him, which was aimed at poor Boss's noggin. Luckily, his helmet was there to protect him, but it still made loud ringing in his ears. But Boss ran on until he finally arrived at the clubhouse. Did he see Hamtaro and Bijou? He sure did! But they weren't alone...
"Bijou, run! Hide! Hurry!" Hamtaro yelled. Boss could see that a cat was hunting them down. He figured that this was the perfect time to prove himself to Bijou. He would rid them of the cat and be Bijou's hero! Even Hamtaro wouldn't resist praising him, and if he didn't, he'd be revealed to be a creep. "This is my chance," he thought, "I've gotta act now!" Boss said, and ran off toward the cat. "Hey rat-breath! " Boss yelled out. When the cat turned around, Boss saw one of the most hideous sights he had ever seen in his life, which says a lot for a field hamster. One of the cat's eyes was a pale yellow, while the other was a deep, nightshade leaf green. A tooth from it's front bottom-left jaw was split in half, and the bottom-right one was missing. On one side of it's face, there were long, shiny whiskers, while on the other side were short ones, barely two inches long. There were only three claws on it's right forepaw, which oddly enough had five toes; a rare abnormality in cats. The cat had only one ear, and was missing not only clumps of hair, but also the tip of his tail. The cat was foaming at the mouth.
Now Boss knew why Bijou couldn't stop staring at the cat. Something so hideous could keep you from moving. The cat entirely turned around and lept at Boss. Boss quickly built a tunnel. As the cat reached down his paw, Boss felt something on his tail. The cat had scratched off the tip of it! Strange, considering the tip of the cat's tail was missing too. Boss burrowed to the clubhouse. He saw Maxwell sleeping next to Snoozer with a book in his lap! What was Maxwell doing there? "Heke? Maxwell?! Whatcha doing here?" Boss said nervously. Maxwell stretched and yawned. "Huh? Oh, Boss, hello! See, it's a long story. Last night, I walked Sandy home, then I---" "Sorry, Maxwell, no time! Listen, I need you to look up some kind of disease that makes cats foam at the mouth, okay? And whatever you do, don't leave the clubhouse until I say otherwise! Got it?" "Um, okay Boss, but I think you should know that---" But before Maxwell could finish, Boss scurried up his newly-dug burrow.
When he popped up, he saw a familiar blue ribbon on the ground, shredded. He gasped in fear until he heard "Boss! Up here!" It was Hamtaro, and Bijou was safely beside him. Boss scampered up to the branch they had sat upon and whispered to Hamtaro, "I dug a burrow to the clubhouse. When I lead the cat away, take Bijou down. I'll handle the cat, just get her out of here!" Boss said, "No, Boss! I'll take Bijou to the house, but I can't let you take the cat alone! I'm gonna fight with ya!" Hamtaro replied, "Hamtaro, we don't have time for this! Just do what I say!" And with that, Boss jumped right off of the tree, landing right on the cat's back. The cat growled so loudly and viciously that Boss's fur stood straight up. He saw Hamtaro scurry down with Bijou following. But Hamtaro crept back up. He ran up to the cat and bit it's tail. The cat screeched and turned it's head. That was when Boss noticed another detail in the cat's grungy apparel: A large bruise was on it's head. Then Boss had a plan.
He shoved Hamtaro up the tree and scattered after him. "Hamtaro, I have an idea! Listen, I saw a big bluish-black thing on it's head! If you jump down and distract him, I'll crawl up his back and beat the spot down with my shovel, okay?" Boss said as quickly as he could, "But Boss, that might kill it!" Hamtaro said sadly, "We don't have any other choice, Hamtaro, I'm sorry. Now let's get crackin'!" Boss replied. Hamtaro knew he would regret this, but Boss, in his wisdom, was right. This cat would not walk away, so even if they just knocked him out for a little bit, he would just attack again after he woke up. Like Boss said, there was no other choice but to kill it. So Hamtaro hopped down to do what he was told.
Hamtaro reluctantly scattered back and forth, as Boss jumped down to take care of the cat once and for all. "Guess I'm pretty lucky," Hamtaro thought, "All I have to do is distract the cat. Poor Boss has to do the dirty work! Oh, well..." Boss landed right on the cat's bruise. The cat wailed, and almost seemed sad. This made it harder for Boss to go through with it, but it was the only way for the hams to be safe. He lifted the shovel and slammed it down. With that, the cat wailed even harder and more mournfully. Boss gave him three more blows, and pretty soon, the cat fell. Boss tumbled down beside Hamtaro and the cat landed on both of them. It was one fat cat! Both could barely breathe, and soon, things went totally dark...
