Today, is a bittersweet day indeed. It's my last day of Thanksgiving vacation *sob*, but also, it's the last day of November! Bring on X-mas! Also, I only hafta suffer three weeks of school 'till X-Mas break. Whoopee. At my local bowling alley, me, my bro, and my sis duked it out playing Dance Dance Revolution.

Okay, I'll stop babbling, here's chapter three. Oh yes a little warning to B+B fans, there's a really little part with H+B fluff in this chapter, so don't flame me cause I warned you.

Chapter Three- Nightmare
Bijou couldn't sleep that night. Neither could Maria. Too many things on her mind. She curled herself up into a tight ball, trying to drown out all the horrible thoughts that flooded her head, with no prevail. Bijou still was too worried about Maria.
Maria coughed. Bijou's head jerked up instantly and she stared at Maria's dark bed. She could only see a dark silhouette in the dark, so she squinted. Maria coughed again, and then turned over.
During the day, Bijou's cage was placed in the piano room, but during the night, Maria insisted that Bijou be near her, so she was placed on an oak finished table in the middle of her room. There were no trees near the window; the only drawback.
Bijou sighed. She knew Maria was having trouble sleeping too. She heard from Maxwell that humans rarely coughed in their sleep. "It is almost dawn," Bijou said to herself, gazing at Maria's digital clock that sat neatly on her nightstand. It was 4:48 A.M. Maria always woke up at 7:30 to practice piano for a few minutes, get breakfast, and then go to school.
Bijou stood up and walked over to her food bowl and began to nibble delicately on a sunflower seed. There seemed to be so many questions racing through her head and it was making her sick. Suddenly, without a second thought, Bijou flung the door to her cage open, ran out of Maria's room, into the piano room, and out the open window onto the tree branch.
She stopped dead when she reached the sidewalk outside her house. What the hell was she doing!?
Bijou's shaking body inspected her surroundings. Never had she gone out of her house during the night. The once peaceful street she lived on, seemed to turn into something straight out of a nightmare. Bijou trembled, but her feet stayed planted to the ground. Something made her come out here, but why? What?
Suddenly, Bijou saw a faint shadow of a hamster walking down the street, right towards her! Bijou wanted to scream, she wanted to run as fast as her tiny feet would take her, but something glued her feet to the ground and made her unable to squeak. Bijou froze, barely even breathing. Maybe if she stood very, very still, this stranger wouldn't notice her and continue on their way. But that didn't happen. The shadow suddenly began to walk faster, right towards Bijou. The fog made it impossible to recognize this hamster. Bijou wanted to cry, wanted to be back in her safe, warm, cage, but she couldn't. The shadow was very close to Bijou now. And as she made out the figure. Bijou's eyes filled with tears and she leapt into the hamster's arms, sobbing.
"Oh Hamtaro!" Bijou cried. "I was so afraid." Hamtaro was a little surprised what Bijou did, hugging him and all, but her let her hug him, she seemed quite upset. "Bijou," He began, "What are you doing out here, at this time.?" Bijou's face was buried in his fur. "I do not know," She muttered, "I just suddenly came out here, but it is so scary. I thought you were someone else," Bijou paused, looking at her fog encrusted house. "Why are you out here, Hamtaro?" She asked, not the least bit suspicious. "Brandy." "Huh?" "Brandy somehow got loose. I noticed him run off, so I went out to search for him. Then I thought I saw you, so I ran up to ask if you've seen him, have you?" "No, I'm sorry,"
Bijou sat down on the concrete sidewalk, she was so tired. "I could not sleep tonight. Maria couldn't either. And for some reason, I just ran out here. Maybe I needed some fresh air," She sighed. Hamtaro sat down next to her.
"Stan's getting pretty worried," Hamtaro said.
"About what?"
"Sandy. He hasn't seen her in quite a while. He said that Noel can't reach Hillary either, Maxwell's pretty upset too."
"Oh.I do hope that Sandy can answer our question!" Bijou exclaimed suddenly. "She's the only ham-ham we have not asked."
Hamtaro nodded, his face seemed to grow quite concerned.
Bijou noticed his expression change and asked what was wrong. "Oh, well, you seem pretty sick yourself, Bijou," Hamtaro answered. Bijou blinked. "it looks like you haven't had sleep in years. I really think you should head back home. I don't want you to get sick."
Bijou smiled weakly and stood up. "Okay, Hamtaro, I'll take your advice. Thank-Q." She said. Hamtaro stood up too and smiled. "I hope you find Brandy." "Thanks." Bijou began walking towards the house. As she did, she paused and turned back to Hamtaro.
"Hamtaro.?"
"yeah?"
"If I'm not at the Clubhouse today, please do not tell anyone."
"About what?"
"About. this."
"Okay Bijou."
"Goodnight."
And Hamtaro's image disappeared in the fog.
