I had just woken up when Laura surprised me with a whole bag full of sunflower seeds. "Happy Birthday Hamtaro! Laura said happily. Sorry I can't stay. I have school." She finished sadly as she left. 'Sorry I can't stay either. I'm going to the clubhouse!' I thought to myself as I went down the drainpipe. As I was walking down the tunnel to the clubhouse, I heard shushing noises. I opened the door and. "SURPRISE!!" Everyone yelled as I jumped back in surprise. "Ahhh!!! Don't shoot!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I yelled stupidly as I covered myself. Everyone started laughing. "You silly ham." Bijou teased as I blushed madly. One by one I started receiving gifts. I couldn't thank them enough. Boss only gave me a few sunflower seeds and he looked real angry with me. I wonder what I did. I don't remember doing anything to upset him. Just then, I saw Bijou sitting in a corner all by herself, so I went over to her.

"Hey Bijou. What are you doing here by yourself?" I wondered. "I know why Boss is mad at you." She replied. "Why?" I asked. "Because he is angry that I." She started to say. "Yes, continue." I said. "He thinks I've been hanging out with you more and he thinks I love him when I really love.. you." she finished. I was speechless. The one girl I ever loved actually loves me back! But what about Boss. I couldn't just do this to him. But I love her back and if I don't tell her that I could hurt her. And I could never do that. Thoughts raced through my mind as Bijou stared at the ground. I made up my mind.

"Bijou, I love you too." I finally said. She looked up with joy and happiness. "You do! Seriously!" Bijou exclaimed. "Yes I do, but, what about Boss? He'll be heartbroken." I said sadly. "Oui, I know. We should go talk to him." She decided as we walked over to him.

"Boss, can we speak to you for a minute?" Bijou asked. "Sure Bijou!" Boss exclaimed as the three of us walked into his room. "What is it Bijou? Is something wrong?" Boss asked. "Umm, Bijou you tell him." I managed to say. "Boss, there's a problem between you and me." She started. "WHAT???" Boss said loudly. "I don't love you the way you think I do." She completed. Boss was speechless. "W-what?" Boss stuttered. "I love you like a brother. Nothing more." Bijou added. "B-but Sandy said.." Boss stuttered. "Sandy lied." Bijou finished. Tears formed in Boss's eyes as he ran into his bathroom and locked the door. We banged on the door for a couple of minutes, then we gave up and left. We tried to enjoy my party the best we could but couldn't help feeling terrible at the sight of one of my best friends so angry at me like this.

Everyone started to wonder where Boss was so we ended up telling all of them what had happened.

"I can't believe Boss is acting like such a baby about this!" Sandy exclaimed. "Well, you all have to remember how much he loved Bijou." Pashmina explained. "Ookwee!" Penelope added. "Ok can we all just enjoy the party with or without Boss?" Dexter suggested. "Ok" replied all.

The party got restarted and everyone was having a good time. There was really nothing we could do about Boss so we tried to forget about him for the rest of the party. It was tough but we got over it and enjoyed the rest of the party.

Bijou and I were the first to get cake. We got our cake and sat down at a table. She took her fork and was about to eat a piece, then I took her fork away and I fed it to her. I put it in her mouth as she giggled.

"Oh Maxwell, aren't they like so totally cute together?" Sandy asked. "Yeah, they actually are. I always thought that Bijou and Boss were going to get together, but I guess I was wrong." Maxwell replied.

"Hey Beautiful." Stan said out of nowhere. "Hey Stan!" Pashmina said as she blushed. "Here, let me get that for ya." Stan said as he took the fork with the piece of cake she was going to eat and put it in her mouth as she giggled and blushed madly.

Panda then put some music on and to be precise, a slow song. I started to dance with Bijou, and as I looked over, I spotted Stan and Pashmina dancing, Maxwell and Sandy, and even Cappy and Penelope. Sadly that song signaled the end of my party. So as that song ended, everyone said Happy Birthday and said their goodbyes and left for their homes. And there was still no sign of Boss, so I left.

I walked Bijou home and when we were on the limb of her tree, she kissed me on the creek. I turned crimson as she giggled. She ran to her cage and blew me a kiss. I blew one back and I left.

'It's a good thing Laura has a field trip till 5 cuz if she didn't I'd be in trouble. I ran in my cage and waited till Laura came home. 15 minutes later she bursed in the room. "Guess what little guy? I could have sworn Travis winked at me today! Oh my God!" Laura yelled as I sweatdropped. "And today's going to be even better. Don't you think?" She finished.
