Chapter 7

It was getting pretty late and was about time to get home. However none of the ham hams couldn't move. All of them were shocked hearing what happened to Hamtaro. None of them could move. Boss felt pain. He had just hurt Hamtaro. How could I've something so bad. Bijou could never believe that such a thing could happen to someone as nice as Hamtaro. Hamtaro. Hamtaro began to speak again.

"That's why I could never fall in love again! That's why…" Tears began to form in his eyes. The ham hams had never seen Hamtaro cry like this. Hamtaro then began to run back to his house.

Meanwhile Boss was taking a little heat from the other ham hams.

"Thanks a lot Bossman."

"Yeah! Look what at what you've done." Bijou then remembered what she did to Joe.

"STOP!" Everyone turned to Bijou. "Boss didn't mean anything. He was jealous. He didn't mean to hurt Hamtaro." Everyone was surprised at what she had just said, including Boss. She began crying herself. Boss began to think.

I shouldn't cause anyone more pain to both Hamtaro and Bijou. I have to make right.

Just as Bijou began to walk home Boss stopped her. "Where are you going?"

"I'm going home." she responded.

"Shouldn't you go to Hamtaro?" Bijou was surprised at what Boss had just said.

"I'm saying that none of us can bring Hamtaro happiness. If there is anyone who could do that it's the one he loves most. That's you Bijou." Bijou couldn't believe what Boss had just said. Neither could the other ham hams. She stopped crying.

"Thank you Boss." Bijou then gave Boss a kiss on the cheek. The first and last one he would get from Bijou. As Bijou headed toward Hamtaro's house she began to think about what Boss had just said. If I'm the only one who could bring happiness to Hamtaro then I must go to Hamtaro.

Back near the club house Sandy was still worried.

"Do you think Hamtaro and Bijou will be alright?" She then felt strong arms lift her off the ground. She looked into her lovers eyes.

"There is no need to worry about them. I'm sure they can handle this." Maxwell said as he began to kiss her neck. Sandy blushed.

"Now where were we? Remember you promised" Sandy began to blush even more.

"You're right. Bye Q" Sandy says as she is carried away by Maxwell.

"Yo Pashmina want me to walk you home?" Stan asks.

"Sure." As they walk away Stan gives her a pink rose similar to the one he had last time. This time she decides to keep it. Howdy and Dexter become more jealous. Boss stops them from getting any further.

"C'mon you guys need to get home."

Penelope and Cappy are still blushing at each other but are now holding hands. Cappy takes Penelope home. When everyone leaves Boss begin to think about the events that happened earlier.

Boss

Although I love Bijou I can't force her to love me. If she loves Hamtaro then I won't get in the way. But if Hamtaro by any chance screws up I will take her back. All I want to do now is protect her and everyone else. I'm sorry Hamtaro and Bijou.

Back in Laura's room Hamtaro is watching Laura write in her diary. Laura writes: I can't believe it. Travis also loves me. He said to scared to admit it. Then he gave me a kiss and ran off. She holds her cheek. I can't stop thinking of him.

Hamtaro as usual answers in his mind I'm happy for you Laura. At least your day didn't turn out like mine.

Laura picks him up. "Today was a great day. I wonder… huh?" She notices that Hamtaro isn't smiling. "Hey what's wrong little guy? Are you sick?" Hamtaro faintly smiles says "Heke?" "Must be my imagination. Good night Hamtaro."

As Hamtaro goes to sleep he thinks of his past and what happened. Oreo's death and the time he saved Bijou. As he falls asleep he hears something. Looks at his normal exit and sees Bijou. "Bijou?"

Bijou walks to his cage and decides to talk to him.

"Hamtaro are you alright?" He doesn't respond.

"Hamtaro there is no need to be upset. I understand how you feel about Oreo." Hamtaro finally responds.

"HOW CAN YOU UNDERSTAND! I LOST MY FIRST GIRL HAM. I BET YOU NEVER LOST ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE. SO HOW CAN YOU UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL!"

Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his cheek. Bijou had just slapped him. He never felt anything like it. He looks up to see Bijou mad and upset with tears forming in her eyes.

"HOW CAN YOU BE SO SELFISH?" Bijou says as she hugs him. "Unlike you I lost my first boy ham Joe not by death but he fell in love with another girl. At least Oreo still loves you. Joe on the other hand abandoned me. So don't say that I don't understand how you feel." She cries. Hamtaro's heart melted. He couldn't believe something like that happened to her. What have I done. Bijou doesn't deserve this.

"I'm sorry Bijou. Its just that Oreo meant the whole world to me. I never wanted to hurt you." Bijou stopped crying but didn't look at Hamtaro. Hamtaro looked down at Bijou and began to bring up all his courage.

"Bijou." She looked at him.

"All I want to is", he paused trying to bring up all his courage to say it. "I love you."

Bijou couldn't believe Hamtaro said those three words. She began to cry but these were tears of joy.

"Hamtaro I love you too. I loved you ever since we met."

Both smiled and kissed each other. Suddenly both of them wanted more than that. They kissed each other this time more passionately and found themselves on the floor of Hamtaro's cage. Hamtaro took off Bijou's ribbons and let her hair drift (I know she has little scrunches under her ribbons but she doesn't have them this time.). After that everything became black. All they heard were themselves calling out each other's names.

Hamtaro

The next morning Laura woke up. When she decided to check on Hamtaro she saw another hamster with him. She recognized it as Maria's hamster.

"So you wanted little company Hamtaro? I better call Maria. She's probably worried."

When Laura left Hamtaro woke up. He saw Bijou sleeping on his chest. He smiled. He lifted her chin and kissed her. Bijou woke up and they kissed passionately.

I love you Hamtaro

I love you too Bijou
