"…it's so refreshing; I can't believe that you have never gone swimming." Camo said to Bijou genuinely shocked.

"The closest zing I have ever done to zwimming was when I was on a boat with Boss and it sprung a leak, but then we were zaved by Brandy anyways."

Camo nodded. "And Brandy is…?"

"A dog." Bijou told him.

"Ahh." Camo said back, as he reached the front door of the clubhouse.

Camo stopped in the doorway when he opened the door and looked around the room and saw that it was empty. Bijou peeked over his shoulder, wondering why he stopped.

"What the hell?" Camo asked, motioning to the empty room.

"What?" Bijou asked confused.

Camo walked into the room.

"Where is everyone?" Camo asked angrily.

Bijou led Penelope into the room and sat at the table.

"They probably all went out to play." She told him.

"Boss said that he would wait for us to return. An hour. I told him an hour; it's only been…" Camo glanced at the clock, "not even 50 minutes." Camo rubbed his face in exasperation.

"What's the big issue?" Bijou asked.

"Uhh…I…had other things to do." Camo told her, in a very unconvincing tone of voice.

"I can watch her if you want." Bijou offered.

Camo paused for a second, and then sighed. "Alright fine, I don't have anything to do; I'm just not good around children." Camo revealed, slightly embarrassed to admit it.

"What do you mean? You were fine with Penelope earlier."

"It's just; I know I'm a bad example. I'm very conscious of that."

"You have always been a gentleham around us before."

"I'm a killer, Bijou. I have killed many innocent hamsters. I don't think anyone wants to hang out with a murder."

"But you were doing it for a good cause."

"That's arguable."

"It doesn't matter, you have been a good hamster around us, and there is no reason to worry about being a bad example if you are being a good person."

Camo sighed. "I guess."

"Now let's go have some fun." Bijou said as she led Penelope to an open part of the room. Camo followed and tried his best to play along.

*Out with the Ham-ham gang*

The Ham-hams found the park that Stan was talking about, and they loved it. Everything was new and there was even a large slide.

They all ran around and had a grand time until Boss called everyone in for lunch. When lunch was over, everyone decided to go back to the clubhouse.

They marched their way back to the clubhouse and when they opened the door and walked in, they were surprised by what they saw.

Camo was holding Penelope on his shoulders as he stomped around the room roaring and kicking chairs around.

Bijou noticed everyone first and walked over to them. Camo watched Bijou get up and walk over to the door, then noticed that everyone was there.

"Oh hey everyone." Camo said with a grin on his face.

He lifted Penelope off his shoulders and put her on the ground. Penelope was giggling and jumping up and down.

"Sorry about the mess, I'll clean it up." Camo said to Boss, as he then started picking up all the chairs and putting them back around the table.

"Camo was a giant monster that was destroying a town and Penelope got to ride on him. She found it amusing." Bijou explained.

Everyone went into the room and went to their normal areas.

When Camo finished picking up all the chairs he walked over to Boss, who was sitting in his chair. "Thanks for waiting for us, like you said you would." Camo's angry-sarcasm was clear, despite the happy, cheery smile on his face.

"Sorry." Boss responded.

"It's fine, just next time, stick to your word, please."

Boss nodded.

"Thank you, now how was your afternoon?" Camo asked him.

"Great, the park was wonderful, and it is a beautiful day."

Camo felt a poke on his shoulder and looked to see who it was.

"How is Pashmina?" Sandy asked him.

"She is good, great even. I figure that she should be walking in two, maybe three days max." Camo told her.

"That's wonderful." Sandy said happily.

"You can all probably go and see her tomorrow too, if you wanted."

"Really?" Sandy exclaimed.

Camo nodded.

Sandy walked off and Camo turned back to Boss. "Yeah, I should really get outside sometime today, if it's that nice."

After that, the rest of the day was very generic. The Ham-hams played games and had fun until everyone started to leave to go home.

Well, 50 pages. Let me just say, this is quite long, and to anyone who is up to date with it, thank you. I understand that quite a large chunk of time was put into reading this. I would also like to thank my first reviewer, it really means a lot to me to know that someone is enjoying my story. It was also - ironically - on my birthday, so thank you for that, it really made my day. But, enough of me rambles, as always, feel free to leave a review, or a PM with your thoughts on the story, and until the next page. Bye-Q
