Oxnard laid his head on the table, trying to think of how he could apologize for his behavior. He didn't want them to ask him why he acted like that. He didn't want them to find out that he was eavesdropping on them, they'd be furious! He hugged his sunflower seed and thought as hard as he could, but nothing came up. He sighed heavily and decided to go with just coming out and apologizing. Oxnard waddled nervously up to Boss' door and let his paw hover, shaking, over the door as he mulled over his decision. He yelped in surprise as Dexter came up behind him "Oxnard? What are you doing?" he asked, tilting his head to the side. Oxnard jumped, spinning around. He backed up and leaned against Boss' door "Uh…I was…uh…going to apologize for yelling at Boss…." Dexter chuckled "Good idea. I guess you didn't want him to ban you from the clubhouse" Oxnard's eyes widened "He would do that!?" He asked, shaking. Dexter's eyes soften as he replied. "Um…no, of course not, Oxy." He said, walking off. Oxnard shook, leaning back for support. He was thinking about forgetting it. Boss would understand. If he apologized, chances are Boss would ask his reason for acting like that…if Boss would ban him from the clubhouse, who knows what he'll do if he knew Oxnard had eavesdropped on them! The large gray and white hamster decided to call it quits, but just as he was about to walk away, he felt the 'wall' behind him give way and he fell backwards onto his back and looked up to see Boss standing over him.
He jumped up "GAH! Boss! I'm sorry! So sorry….um…eh….." Boss took a step back "Whoa whoa! Oxy! It's alright! It's my fault for opening the door" He said, helping Oxnard to his feet. Oxnard adverted his eyes, looking at his feet "Boss, I need to talk to you" he said. Boss blinked "Heke?"
Oxnard waddled in. He blinked then blurted out "ImsorryforyellingatyouBoss!Pleasepleasepleasedontbanmefromtheclubhouse!" Boss jumped up, covering his ears "Oxy! Calm down! Breath when you speak!" The field hamster uncovered his ears to listen to Oxnard. "I'm sorry for yelling at you. Please don't ban me from the clubhouse." Oxnard said, slightly whining. Boss shook his head "I'd never do that…but what mad you so angry? I've never seen you like that" Oxnard's eyes widened "Erm…uh…well….I skipped breakfast this morning…." he lied, concentrating on his sunflower seed. Boss nodded, as if understanding "Oh, I see. Well, we've got to go down to the Alley" Oxnard's stomach gave a twist, as if scolding him for making such a stupid decision "Um, alright Boss. Um…l-lead the way" he stammered, waddling out into the main room. All the HamHams were already ready, Boss standing out in front. Boss stood and looked at Oxnard "Come on, Oxy. Your second Ham, you're second in line" Oxnard gulped, standing behind Boss. His mind screamed at him 'All the way in the front!? Do you want to be gobbled up by a monstrous cat!?' He thought about turning back, but didn't want to prove to the others that he was a wimp. He could be brave! Just like Hamtaro! Oxnard puffed out his chest and stared ahead as the marched. He was going to be brave!
Now, little did Oxnard know that it takes more than determination to be a brave Ham in the Alley. Once he got there, the sound of a cat meowing caused him to revert back to his old self. He bit his lip, trying to stop shaking. They were going to get eaten by cats! Oxnard looked to his sides nervously, every time thinking he saw a cat streak by, or perhaps a tail turn a corner. He was so absorbed in his cat scouting that he didn't notice Boss stop and he ran right into him, stumbling backwards and bumping into Howdy who was right behind him. He jumped up and shouted his apologized "OH NO! I'm sorry!" He shouted, then Boss grabbed him "SHHHH! Do you want the cats to hear!?" Oxnard shook his head, he was very nervous, but he hoped they hadn't noticed. Boss dropped Oxnard and knocked on a wall which, to Oxnard's surprise, a small hole swung open. It was a door!
A big hamster stepped out. He has dark brown fur, with white spots on the top of his head, on his back, and on his left leg. He glared around at the other hamsters, but Oxnard felt that he was given an extra creepy glare. The new hamster has a bag slung over his right shoulder. When his gaze turned to Boss, he grinned "Greetings Boss! I was wondering when you'd get here" He put his paws on his hips. Boss chuckled "Hamha, Auster. I had to bring a few friends along….anyway, do you have my package?" The field hamster watched Auster slip back into his house then come out with a long box. There was just a yellow label on the box with the word 'Boss' scrawled on in messing handwriting. Auster reached into his bang and pulled out a checklist "Yea, that's your package, Boss" He said, tucking away his checklist and saluting. Boss took his package quickly, taking the sling Auster handed him and strapping the package to his back. Boss nodded, then turned to the others "Alright, now lets get out of here…See ya later Auster" Boss said, waving at the brown and white hamster, who waved back then slammed his door shut. Now it looked like it was always just a wall.
Howdy blinked, leaning to the side to look around Oxnard to Boss' box "What's in the box, Boss?" He asked. Boss chuckled "Sorry, can't tell you guys yet. But I can tell you that it's two things" Maxwell examined the box "By the looks of it, it has to be something long and thin…." Boss pushed him away "No more guessing! You guys will find out in the clubhouse!" He said, glaring at them. They were going to ruin the surprise! Oxnard shook nervously, looking left and right "Common! Let's get out of here, this place is creeping me out!" Boss nodded "Yes, let's be off HamHams." They began walking, but stopped suddenly when the package slipped from the sling, but was luckily caught by Oxnard. Boss chuckled "Thanks Oxy" He said, as he worked on getting it back in his sling. The other hamsters talked amongst themslevesbut Oxnard happened to turn and what he saw made him go white with fear. As the shadow was cast of them, he wondered whythe others hadn't noticed while he struggled to speak. Suddenly, he managed to shout "GUYS! CAT!!!!" They all looked up and screamed in unison. Standing beside them, towering above them was a fully grown, black and white alley cat….
