Oxnard Saves the Day!
By Artemis Panthar
Authors Note- OK then. Well, I'm a huge Oxnard fan, I just can't get enough of that lovable oaf! I noticed the lack of Oxnard stories and decided to make one just for Oxnard fans like me =) I may make some characters slightly OC…hopefully I won't, but I can't help it. Oh! And none of these characters belong to me, they all belong to…um…the company that makes it ^_^; kk, enjoy!

Hamtaro sat impatiently in his cage watching Laura ran around her room making sure she was ready for school. 'Hurry up Laura! The others are expecting me at the clubhouse!' He thought, nibbling on some seeds while he waited. The girl glanced at the clock "Oh! I'm going to be late! Good bye, Hamtaro. See you when I get home!" she said, dashing out the door. Hamtaro sighed, it was about time!
After waiting to make sure she wouldn't come back, he squeezed out of his cage and looked around, dashing into the hole and leaping down the pipe. As usual he came shoot out and landed on Brandy's head "Good morning Brandy! Can't stop to talk, I'm late!" he said. Oxnard came into view, walking up to his friend. "Hamha. Ready to go to the clubhouse Hamtaro?" He asked, holding his trademark sunflower seed. Hamtaro chuckled "Sure am Oxnard, lets get going!"
Once the duo arrived at the clubhouse, they opened the door and were promptly greeted by it's inhabitants. First they scanned the room, to see what the other Ham-Hams were doing. Boss was talking with Panda, who had an idea to make a Ham-Ham elevator while Maxwell questioned it's stability. Bijou was sitting at the table, watching Pashmina playing with Penelope. Both Dexter and Howdy were trying to win Pashmina over, as usual. Stan was busying himself with examining his maracas while his sister was twirling around her ribbon. A saucepan was moving about, which was no doubt Cappy. While up on the loft, Snoozer was living up to his name. Boss took his attention away from Panda to greet the newcomers "It's about time you two showed up! Listen, Panda has an idea…." He was cut off by Panda, who began explaining "Well, I was thinking that we could to up a pulley to make an elevator to take us all the way up to Snoozer's loft." Maxwell shook his head "I'm not sure about this, I've read that elevators can break if too much stress is put on them." Howdy looked over at Panda "Besides, what's wrong with using the stairs? It's never bothered us before…." Panda quickly defended himself "Nothings wrong with the stairs, I just thought that maybe it would be fun to use an elevator." Hamtaro nodded, walking to the Panda "That sounds like a great idea! Why don't we build it? It's worth a try anyway" The others thought for a minute, then Boss nodded "Yes, let's give it a shot…what do you think Bijou?" he asked, quick to have her opinion. The white hamster nodded "Et sounds like a great idea" (sorry, I'm not good at French accents)
Well, needless to say, the Ham-Hams began to set up the elevator. After getting all the supplies, they were about ready to get to work. It was going on with out a hitch until….
Oxnard gasped "Oh no!" he looked around frantically. Hamtaro looked at Oxnard and tilted his head "Heke? What's the matter?" He asked. The larger hamster whined "I just remembered! Kana had a doctors appointment and is going to be home early!" He began to 'dance' about worriedly. Hamtaro placed a paw on his big friends shoulder "Oxnard, relax! Just go home. We don't mind, you can see the finished elevator tomorrow!" Oxnard relaxed "Really?" He asked, making sure his friend was fine with his absence. Hamtaro nodded, as well as the other HamHams. Oxnard grinned "Thanks guys! I'll be back as soon as I can!" He said, bolting out the door.
The large hamster scurried home. He had to beat Kana there, least she arrive and find him gone. He was in luck. She was still at the doctors office when he arrived in his cage. He decided to have a quick lunch and began to dig into his bowl of food. It seemed like only minutes, but was just an hour when Kana arrived. It was 1 'o clock and Kana spent about a half an hour in her room before her dad came up and asked if she wanted to go out for some ice cream. Of course, she was only too happy to go. After saying good bye to her hamster, she dashed out. Oxnard sat there for a minute, then decided to rush down to the clubhouse and check up on their project. He slipped out of his cage and hopped down to his front yard. Holding his sunflower seed tight, he waddled towards the clubhouse, leaping into the tunnel.
As he approached the door, his sunflower seed slipped from his paws "Oops" he murmured, bending down to get it. As he did, he couldn't help but hear the other HamHams talking.
"So, we're finally finished!" Panda said, grinning widely. Howdy shook his head "I donno, I still don't know what's wrong with the stairs…" He looked the elevator up and down. The elevator was fairly simple, it consumed of a basket, big enough for one HamHam, with two roped running through the bottom. One was connected to a pulley, with it's other side being the other rope with was tied to a handle in the basket. The point was to pull yourself up using the end then hop out and let it go back down. Quite clever, if pointless. Boss wiped his forehead "Well, I like it. OH! I just remembered, tomorrow I have to go down to the Alley and pick up a few stuff from a friend who lives there…" Stan cut him off "Now, why would someham live in the Alley, aren't there cats there?" He asked. Boss cleared his throat "Yes, there is. Now, as I was trying to say, how many of you want to come with me?" After a minute of debating, every HamHam (yes,even the girl hams) agreed…that is, all except Hamtaro… Boss looked confused "What about you Hamtaro?" he fixed his helmet and looked at the orange and white hamster. Hamtaro chuckled nervously "I'm sorry, Boss, but Laura is taking me to see her cousin (I don't know if she has one but in this fic she does ^_^;) so I'll be gone tomorrow" Boss looked down, sad "Aw, I wish I knew that before, you were supposed to be my second ham! You're the bravest Ham I know!" Hamtaro blushed "Thanks Boss! But I can't…." Boss shrugged "But who's going to be my second ham?" The smaller hamster thought for a minute "What about Oxnard?" He asked. Boss hesitated then responded "Don't take this the wrong way, Hamtaro. I love the little guy but he's no second ham"
Oxnard was about to walk in, but when he heard this, he stopped and put his back against the wall beside the door and listened. He knew eavesdropping was wrong, but he couldn't help it…
Hamtaro couldn't believe his ears! He had to be mistaken "Excuse me?" He asked. Boss looked down as he spoke, ashamed he even brought it up "I'm sorry, Hamtaro, but it's true" Bijou glared at the field hamster "Boss! That iz such a rude thing to say about our friend!" Boss's eyes widened, but as he went to defend himself, Stan piped in "Y'know, he has a point. Oxnard is a good guy and everything, but he's no Robin-Ham" Hamtaro gasped "But-" but then was cut off by a few more quips from the others. Maxwell sighed "It's true. Oxnard isn't the bravest fellow, but he's still a good Ham" Panda nodded "Yea, nothing against him, but he wouldn't make the best leader…"
"Why, I've seen braver bones on a worm!" Howdy said, chuckling slightly. Pashmina glared at him "Howdy! That's just mean!"
"Yeah, that is so totally uncool" Sandy said. Penelope narrowed her eyes "Ookwee"
Howdy shook his paws in front of his face "Sorry! Sorry! I was just jokin'! No need to jump down my throat about it."
Hamtaro blinked, his eyes softened and he looked down, sad "Is that really how you feel about Oxy?" he asked. Boss slowly nodded his head "Yea…sorry, Hamtaro…" He was now cut off by a loud thump at the door. They all turned to find nothing, which confused then, but they figured it was the wind….
Oxnard ran from the tunnel. He wanted to go home, curl up in his bed with some sunflower seeds and forget about the HamHams. Who needed then anyway! He thought he had knocked into the door when he ran away, but he didn't care. He ran with tears flowing from his eyes. He never knew that the other hamsters viewed him as a chicken! Oxnard scurried into his cage, grabbing some sunflower seeds and diving into his bed. He cried into the bedding and chewed on his seeds. He wanted to forget what he just heard…
Authors Note 2- Okey dokey. That was the first chapter. PLEASE don't flame me about being out of character or making the HamHams sound mean! I only did it for the purposes of this story. Don't hurt me! *hides* anywho, it'll get better, I promise! Also, for the record, I have nothing against Howdy!
