I entered the clubhouse, and for the first time, I was nervous. There was going to be, for the first time, a meeting that he didn't organize. Bijou, usually shy and friendly, organized it. The truth was, Boss didn't expect her to be brave enough.
The atmosphere inside was worse than in his room. Everyone was fiddling with something and very quiet. Bijou was nowhere in sight. I sighed; there was no way of talking her out of this now. I sat down in my usual seat at the big table. When he sat down I felt everyone's eyes on me. It was obvious they didn't know Bijou was the one who organized this meeting.
Someone opened the door again. I looked over and saw Bijou. She looked the same as ever just… more serious. She didn't have that lovely smile she put on when she entered the clubhouse. Some of the other hamsters opened their mouth to say something but shut it again. Bijou took the last spot at the table she looked around for a minute then took a deep breath. She didn't look at me once.
"You all might be wondering, why was there even a meeting? Well let's start for the beginning of the whole problem and you all will figure out the purpose of the meeting," said Bijou in a loud, clear voice, "Remember the meeting a month ago? The one where Boss asked me to marry him? How I said no and that I didn't love him? Let's begin there. You all know I said no to his question and he got upset. I respect that, of course one would feel upset when he was let down by his love.
"We all tried to cheer him up, make him feel loved and I didn't come to the clubhouse for a few days. We all agreed that it would make him feel much better. But something different happened.
"He gradually felt more and more mad at me. I was sad, of course. Everyone knew that. But what everyone didn't know is that that hamster sitting in Boss's chair isn't Boss at all. He is a robot. The real Boss ran away or something. He hasn't been drinking or eating for a week already. I am sure that isn't him." Everyone looked at me.
"He looks like Boss," said Hamtaro.
"Yeah," agreed Oxnard.
"There's only one way to find out," said Hamtaro.
Oxnard left and came back with a bucket of water. Hamtaro took the bucket from him and dumped it on my he-

Bijou's POV
I watched as Hamtaro dumped the bucket of water on the fake Boss's head. For a second he looked alright- then there was a loud hiss and the fake Boss fell on the floor. Everyone was staring at him for a second. When they realized what just happened they looked back at me, shocked.
"How did you know?" asked Hamtaro, looking very proud at me.
I blushed. "Well him not eating started to make me suspicious. I found out he wasn't a hamster especially when he didn't want the sunflower seed. So I took the risk and called the meeting."
"Wow," said Pashmina.
"But then… where is the real Boss?" asked Maxwell.
"He could be anywhere," said Hamtaro, "But we're sure he is not at someone's house because he doesn't have a relative. He should be in a forest somewhere."
"We need to find him." Everyone agreed.
