Chapter 1

"Hmm..What are we having for lunch?" Sandy asked cheerfully, glancing to Peaches, whom was flirting with Maxwell through little eye movements. Sandy gasped, realizing Maxwell was looking at Peaches instead of herself

"Maxwell, would you care to come here? I think something's wrong with the way I'm playing this game." Peaches said, putting on a pouty face.

"Sure Peaches." Maxwell stood up and leaned over her, putting his furry arms around her own, and took control over the game. "Now you got it."

"Maxwell, eat lunch with me?" Peaches asked, the pouty face still there.

"Sure." Maxwell replied, smiling, and sliding into Peaches' chair with her

Sandy wanted to cry. Instead of doing it in public, she pushed her chair back so fast it tipped over. Not caring, she ran outside, claiming she forgot something. She scurried quickly over to the hamster wheel and slid inside, curling up. She cried for a good five minutes until she sat up and looked outside. 'What's wrong with me? All he's doing is eating with her.. I've been dating him for a month, I have nothing to worry about.' But deep down inside, she didn't know that.

Suddenly, the wheel began to turn. There was Pashmina, glancing over the edge and looking at her. "Ya know, maybe you should come in and eat.."

Sandy blinked, dried her eyes and nodded to Pashmina. "Yeah, you're probably right." She sighed. "But I don't think Maxwell likes my anymore. He ignored me when I asked him a question, and he's all over Peaches."

Pashmina hamgoofed and nods. "Hablah. I thought there was somethign fishy about her." She shook her head and scratched her big ear. "Well, I think he still loves you. C'mon, we'll eat, then maybe you and him can hang out."

Sandy nodded and stood up, looking around. "Is Peaches still with him?"

Pashmina nodded. "Unfortunately, she's sitting on his lap, but I have a plan." Pashmina told Sandy to stay where she was and ran into the club house. A few minutes later, she came back and smiled.

"Ok. It's safe. I got Hamtaro to give Peaches a tour, so we better hurry!" Pashmina and Sandy scurried in, and Sandy basically fell into Maxwell's arms.

"I was just going out to check on you." Maxwell said, smiling slightly. He really was a dreamy Ham-Ham when you really looked at him. Sure, he as a little tall, and he had big ears, but his brown was chocolatey, and his eyes were dreamy. But somehow, Sandy looked past that today, and remembered how she had just been snubbed basically.

"Yeah, after Peaches left." She humphed and thumped her way over to her seat at the table. -badda-badda-.

"I'm sorry Sandy..she needed help." Maxwell said, smiling softly.

She looked up at him, her face stern. What he saw surprised him. He suddenly saw Sandy as a serious being, not her happy-go-lucky normal self. He quickly set down next to him and sighed. "I'm still your boyfriend right?"

Sandy smiled then and nodded. "Yeah. You're too hard to replace."

Just then, Peaches and Hamtaro walked back into the room, and Maxwell kissed Sandy's forhead...
