A/N: GIVE ME MORE REVIEWS!! I really wanna know what you guys are thinkin'!
Jade Stellar: You should be seeing a little bit of T/L in the next couple of chapters. I apologize for leaving Laura, Kana, Travis and the other humans out of the story so much... I'm trying to work on that.
Hamtaro Zero: I'm glad you like my story... and I hate to let you down, but this story is more along the lines of B+B. Hope you keep reading, though.

Chapter 9: Boss's Rescue
Hamtaro yawned and stretched as he awoke in Boss's bed. His eyes and whiskers drooped until he noticed where he was. "Where...am I?" he thought, "I know this place, but... I don't remember where it is. What's going on?" Hamtaro kept pondering his location. He knew this place, but he just couldn't remember exactly where it was. It was like when you visit a place in a dream; you remember being there before, but you don't remember what that place was. Then Hamtaro turned to the pictures on the wall. He saw one of Bijou. "Who is she? I've seen her before..." Hamtaro glanced at the picture carefully and noticed the words "Bijou, my true love" under the photo. He figured that was her name. Just then, he heard a creak from the door.
In walked Maxwell with a book in his paw that had a shimmering pink bookmark sticking out. Sandy had given him this; she had made it from her first ribbon. Right away, Hamtaro recognized the brown hamster with the book...if only he could remember what his name was? "Oh, good, you're alive---err, uh, I mean awake!" Maxwell said. He walked up to the bed and began to talk to the confused Hamtaro. "How do you feel? Are you in pain?" he asked, "Pain? Uh... No, I don't think so, who are you?" Hamtaro said slowly. Maxwell froze. Hamtaro didn't even know the name of one of the hams who had saved his life? Was this some kind of game? "I...I'm Maxwell, remember?" It was then that Maxwell suddenly found out that Hamtaro had amnesia. He had read about it one time. He opened his book and decided to look it up again for more details. "Let's see... Ambulance... Ammeter... Aha! Here it is! Amnesia: Loss of memory, probably caused by injury to the head or nervous system. You've got amnesia!" Maxwell exclaimed.
"Oh, well then, uh, thank you for the am-neezey-uh, Maxwell!" Hamtaro said, not knowing of anything else to say. It was a wonder that he could remember how to speak. Maxwell was surprised by this statement. "But I didn't give you amnesia, Ham---" Maxwell's words stopped stone cold. He decided to see how much Hamtaro could remember. "Do you remember my name?" he asked. "Of course I do! It's Maxwell!" Hamtaro said cheerfully. "Good job, Hamtaro! Now then, what's your name?" Maxwell asked, "Hamtaro! Oopaaa!!" Hamtaro yelled as he hopped out of Boss's bed. "Great! You remember a lot of things!" Maxwell exclaimed. He had a wide grin on his face, thinking that he did a great job helping Hamtaro out. Maybe he would finally get a little appreciation! "Of course I remember! You just told me!" Hamtaro said, still as cheerful as can be. Maxwell's whiskers drooped in dissappointment. "Hamtaro's remembering what just happened better than I am--- maybe I have amnesia!" he thought.
Before Maxwell could ask Hamtaro another question, in walked Bijou. Her eyes filled with tears. When she saw Hamtaro, alive and standing on two paws, they soon turned to tears of joy. She shouted his name as she bounded toward him and held him tight. Hamtaro's shoulder became soggy in seconds. "Oh, Hamtaro, I was so worried! I thought I'd never see you again!" Bijou bursted out with happiness. Maxwell motioned for Bijou to come to the corner of the room with him. He whispered so that Hamtaro could not hear their conversation. "Bijou, there's something you should know about Hamtaro," Maxwell started out. "What, what is it? And why are we whispering?" Bijou said, "Hamtaro has amnesia, which means he can't remember anything, so don't feel bad if he forgets your name. He forgot mine, and even his own, so if he forgets yours, it's not because he doesn't love you or anything, okay? I mean, after all---" "'Not because he doesn't love me'? Of course it's because he doesn't love me!" Bijou said out loud.
"Bijou, shh! Don't let Hamtaro hear you, he might get too confused!" Maxwell said softly, "Let him get confused! I should have known he'd never understand how I feel... I won't stand for this anymore!" And with that, Bijou marched right up to Hamtaro and looked him straight in the eye, angrily, and said sternly "Hamtaro, who am I? What is my name?" Hamtaro was a bit confused. A minute ago, she was happy to see him, but now she looked pretty mad. Hamtaro swallowed hard and spoke. "Bi..." This surprised Bijou. He had gotten the first part right. Would he remember? Maybe... "Bijou... m-my true love." Hamtaro nervously uttered. Bijou was shocked. "What did you say, Hamtaro?" she asked softly. "Bijou! My true love!" Hamtaro yelled. He was trembling, wondering what she might do to him. A tear then trickled down Bijou's cheek. "Hamtaro! Hamtaro, I love you!" she cried at the top of her lungs. The hams outside Boss's room could hear her, but didn't understand what she said. They thought she might be in trouble, so they busted open the door to see Bijou kissing Hamtaro and Maxwell, sitting in the corner, hiding behind his book.
Penelope pulled off Pashmina's scarf and covered her eyes with it. She was young and wasn't into romance yet. Stan looked a bit uneasy, but not upset. He liked Bijou too, but Pashmina was still ripe for the pickin'! Sandy was happy too, but she was also a bit concerned for Maxwell. She walked over to him to make sure he was okay, and blushed at the sight of the pink bookmark she had made for him. Pashmina was so happy that she had tears in her eyes. She didn't even notice Dexter right next to her with his paw on her shoulder. Howdy didn't even care, he was too angry watching Dexter score with Pashmina. Bijou stopped and blushed with a wink. Hamtaro was confused! What did Bijou just do? What was that awkward position in which their little hamster lips were in?
Meanwhile, one ham was very late. He couldn't get out until later because his owners had slept in late, and if he left before they did, what would happen if they decided to check on their hamster before they left? The clubhouse would have a chance of being discovered by humans, that's what! So he quickly scurried across the route he took to the clubhouse from his home. But the creatures in the trees and such did not hear a "badda-badda" noise, but a "cappy-cappy" noise. The late ham was none other than Cappy! He scurried as fast as he could. He didn't want the hams to worry about him. After all, he was the smallest of the group (excluding Penelope, of course). Cappy stopped at the sight of the mangiest, ugliest, worst-smelling cats he could ever wish to meet. It was just laying there, motionless, but it's eye was on Cappy, which made Cappy very afraid. He ran right past it and scurried up the tree. "Cappy-cappy, cappy-cappy," went his paws.
When Cappy reached a high-enough branch, he stopped, exhausted. He was panting and panting. "Whoa... That's one smelly cat! I almost don't even wanna breathe!" he said to himself out loud. He then realized a horrible mistake that he had just made: he insulted a cat that was only feet away from him. He swallowed hard and looked down. Surprisingly, the cat was in the exact same position. It's eye no longer looked at Cappy, but toward the path that he had walked down, which was where he caught first glance at the cat. "Huh? Why isn't it moving?" Cappy said to himself. "I don't like this... I wanna go home!" Cappy said. His eyes filled with tears, but he suddenly shook them off after thinking, "What am I doing? This isn't what a field hamster would do. What would Boss do if he were here? I'll do it! For Boss!"
Cappy bravely charged down the tree, but by the time he got down there, the smell was so strong that he could hardly breathe. "Eww! I can't go there, I'll suffocate!" Cappy thought, "For Boss..." he thought again. He took a deep breath and held it as he approached the cat. Then he suddenly heard deep, spooky moans. "Ahh! It's alive!" Cappy screeched. He turned to run, but when he heard the moans again, they sounded almost familiar. "That voice..." he thought, "I know that voice..." Cappy bravely marched closer and closer to the cat until something crawled out from underneath it. It was a hamster. A big hamster. He was very tired and weak, though. He was lucky to have the strength to get up, so it was a miracle that he could get himself out from underneath that cat! "Boss!" Cappy blurted out with a gasp. He soon regretted it. The smell of the cat was so awful. He wanted to step back away from the hideous stench, but he knew that if he were in Boss's place, Boss would have gladly lent a helping paw. So Cappy took Boss's hand, dragged him out from underneath the cat, and helped him stand up... a little.
"Where...where am I?" Boss asked. "Huh? Cappy! What are you doing here? Oh no! Is Bijou safe? Did she go down the tunnel like I told her to?" Boss panicked. It was pretty obvious that he didn't have amnesia! "I don't know what you're talking about Boss, but we'd better get you into the clubhouse! That filfthy cat is full of germs! Icck!!" Cappy exclaimed. "But I have to know if Bijou's alright!" Boss exclaimed, "She's probably in the clubhouse! Let's go!" Cappy exclaimed. Boss sighed. "You're... probably right, Cappy. We better get a move on." Boss said in a gentle tone. Cappy was surprised to hear this tone. He had never heard it before. Perhaps it was because Boss was a bit weakened. Or maybe all of those germs went to his throat and made it sore. "Oh well," Cappy thought. The two of them walked inside to see many hams gathering at the door of his room. "What's goin' on here?!" Boss yelled.
