Chapter 2

At Hillary's house Sandy sat by Christie who was fast asleep.

"I wonder where Maxwell is?"Suddenly out of nowhere someone grabbed her and covered her mouth. The kidnapper looked at.

"Don't worry you'll see him soon enough." The kidnapper said as he covered her mouth with a cloth. She was knocked out.

Later at the clubhouse Maxwell came back ready to hit the hay.

" yawn I wonder how Sandy is doing?" he said to himself. That's when heard Christie crying. He saw her surrounded by her friends and rushed to her side.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"It was awful!" Ken told him.

"Someone took Christie's mom away!" Marimo said.

"WHAT!" Maxwell couldn't believe that someone would kidnap Sandy.

"Waaaahhh! Its true." Christie said faking her cry. "Mom was right beside me when I heard saw her being taken away! Boo hoo boo hoo" Kyle walked up to her and whispered:

" You're making it too obvious."

"Am not!"

"Heke?" Maxwell looked puzzled at the ham ham children. This time Ken spoke up.

"We saw Christie's mom being taken by a weird blue hamster that looks like me. He was heading for acorn mountain." Then hit Maxwell. So it was Joe! Maxwell took off looking for her leaving the children behind.

"Well we're done. Lets get back to the clubhouse."

Somewhere in acorn mountain…

"BAKA DESHI (stupid student)! YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSE TO POISON HER!" Shade yelled at Joe. Earlier Shade and Kenshin also decided to help. Shade was getting mad because Joe poisoned Sandy in order to knock her out.

"SO WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO! HIT HER OVER THE HEAD WITH A MALLET!" Joe answered back.

"There are other ways to knock her out baka deshi."

"Don't call me baka deshi!" They looked at Sandy who was now tied and mouth was covered by a bandana to keep her quiet.

"We're gonna need to get Maxwell here. How are you going to do it?" Shade asked Joe.

"Don't worry I can get him to come over here." He walked over to a curtain.

"And I suppose that something is behind?" Shade asked. Joe just nodded and went towards Sandy.

"Restless huh?" Sandy quickly nodded while trying to say something which was muffled by the piece of cloth. "Don't worry I got company." He walks to the curtains and opens them to reveal…

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sandy screamed as she saw a horribly drawn cat that still looks very scary.

"You're right Joe. Anyone would be afraid if they saw you draw." Shade said.

"OH SHUT UP!"

In a different part of acorn mountain…

"That scream. It sounds like Sandy." Maxwell hears another one. "There it is again!" Then he heard several screams over and over again. A large sweat drop appears on Maxwell's head.

"It couldn't be that scary!"

Back to where Joe and Shade were Joe kept showing the picture. After showing the picture first few times he decided to have a little fun and showed the picture several times.

"Uh Joe." Joe continued to show the picture.

"Joe." Joe didn't listen. Shade threw his sake bottle at him.

"GET BACK HERE BAKA DESHI!" Joe sighed and put the cloth in Sandy's mouth again. He walked towards Shade.

"Now what is it!"

"You're gonna give it away! We just needed a few screams! Not THAT many!" Shade sighed and readied is sword. Joe looked at Shade. What's his problem?

Maxwell finally made it. He saw Sandy tied up but without the cloth in her mouth. Right next to her was Joe and Shade.

"Alright get your hands off Sandy." Maxwell told them.

"So this is the only time you care about me Maxwell!" Sandy cried.

"Hey I went through all this to save you Sandy!" They started fighting forgetting that Joe and Shade were still there.

"Uh guys-

"SHUT JOE!" They both told them.

"I never want to see you again!" Sandy told Maxwell.

"That can be arranged." Joe laughs evilly. Sandy and Maxwell finally realize what he means.

"No wait!" Maxwell tries to stop Joe but Joe pulls out a smoke bomb and the entire fills with smoke.

"Say good bye to your girl ham Maxwell."

"MAXWELL!"

"SANDY!" Everything turned black after that.

Later in the ham ham flyer…

"YOU HAD TO MAKE HER DRUNK IN ORDER TO KNOCK HER OUT SHISHOU (master)!" Joe said to his shishou.

"OH AND POISONING IS SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER!" Shade shouted back.

"Could you two be quiet!" Keno told them. Since Penelope was going to ham ham land with Cappy, Keno volunteered to take over the ham ham flyer. They weren't afraid that Joe and Shade would do something bad. They were afraid that their arguing would end up steering the flyer in the wrong direction.

"I'm trying to get us to ham ham land here!" Joe and Shade pouted.

Near the clubhouse Maxwell began to remember so many memories. Memories of how Sandy he was always there when he really needed her. The first day he bumped into Sandy. The first found out they loved each other. The day they made love to each other (You know I had to put that in there! Oh yeah! That took place the same night Hamtaro and Bijou confessed their love to each other in MoL1) These memories brought tears to his eyes.

"There you are!" Maxwell turned around to see Hamtaro running toward him.

"Hamtaro?"

"C'mon we're going to get Sandy back!" Hamtaro told him.

"I don't know. What if we can't bring her back?" Maxwell asked.

"Snap out of it Maxwell. Remember when Bijou was kidnapped?" Maxwell nodded. "Every time I doubted myself I always found myself being pulled farther away from her. So don't doubt yourself. Just believe in yourself and you'll save her." Maxwell got up. He smiled.

"Thanks Hamtaro. You're right we're going to save Sandy." Maxwell said.

"C'mon. Everyone's waiting at the Cap Slider." Hamtaro and Maxwell headed for Cappy's boat. As he ran for the boat Maxwell thought of Sandy.Don't worry Sandy. I'm going to save you!

In ham ham land Sandy woke up to find herself in a dungeon.

"Where am I?" She was put in a locked cell. "I remember I was playing with Christie then…" She remembered when Maxwell was trying to save her. She cried as she brought up so many memories. The day Maxwell saved her from those cats. The day she first found out she loved him…

"But we were separated from each other." Sandy said taking her ribbon from Maxwell (Yes this is the Let's Dance Sandy episode).

"Don't worry. I'm sure you'll find him someday. Don't lose hope." Maxwell said as he left Sandy who had hearts in her eyes. He's so totally awesome.

The one thing she remembered the most was the night they made love to each other…

That night Sandy and Maxwell were kissing each other but Sandy then turned away.

"What's wrong?" Maxwell asked.

"Its just that well…" Sandy didn't know how to say it but Maxwell understood.

"We'd better not then." Maxwell said as he walked away. "The truth is I really don't want to hurt you." Sandy was surprised that he said that. Just earlier he really wanted but now… "I'd better be going." Sandy couldn't help anymore, she hugged Maxwell and they both fell to the ground kissing each other passionately.

"Don't worry you won't hurt me." Sandy smiled as tears of joy filled her eyes. Maxwell smiled back and they kissed again. After that everything turned black.Maxwell.

Back at the cell Sandy wiped her tears remembering what Maxwell told her."Don't lose hope."

He's right. I just know Maxwell is going to save me.

Somewhere in the sea heading towards ham ham land all the ham hams huddled except for Maxwell who was looking into the sea."Phase 1 was a success." Hamtaro whispered. "Now onto phase 2."
