Broken Hearts Need to be Mended
Dexter ran his hand through his jet black hair yeah I know what color he is just play along with me the light felt so warm against him as he took his other hand and tugged at his black muscle tee un-sticking it from his sweaty pale body. A blue button up shirt hung over it, which he tugged at like a fan, and his gray cargo pants, curled under the ends of his shoes. "Pashmina dear.are you almost done in there?" He asked from the hallway of Laura's house. "Yeah just a sec!" Howdy came over crossing his arms and glaring darkly, "Dear?" His red t-shirt made his blue eyes glow as the light reflected the slightest tint of rose in them, his brown hair was spiky and wild, while his black baggy pants outlined with blue hung off his hips. Dexter just fell backwards onto the wall next to the door crossing his arms tightly and flipping his head up slightly making his bangs bounce. "It's called manners, maybe you should get some." "Why who needs manners when they got a sexy body like this just look at me!" Howdy said lifting up his shirt to reveal his tanned muscular body. "AHHH put that away!" Dexter shouted covering his eyes falling to the side. His gaze seeped through his fingers as Howdy shrugged putting it down, "Hey in there! Pashmina are you ready or not?" "JUST A SEC!" She hollered back as the two boys just avoided each others gaze waiting in silence. "What in tarnation are you doing in their, your changing your clothes not hunting Russian penguins let's go!" Dexter blinked from behind his thin glasses, "Russian.Penguins?" Dexter nodded, "Yup damn lil things, I swear it's a conspiracy!" Dexter just cocked a brow slowly as Howdy began to sweat, "Well it's just that.well.. AH NEVER YOU MIND YOUR LIL BRAIN COULDN'T POSSIBLY COMPREHEND THE DEEP AND TWISTED CONSPIRACY CONSUMING THIS HERE WORLD." Dexter just nodded pushing his glasses up, "Ofcorse.I couldn't.after all. WHO CAN POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND THE RAMBLINGS OF A HILLBILLY LIKE YOU!?" "Boys calm down!" They both turned and instantly got star filled eyes and nosebleeds. "WOW!"

Pashmina blushed, her brown hair was long and flowing over her shoulders to the top of her ribs, her sparkling green eyes beamed with a playful caring look. A tight pink tank top hid slightly under a long full length black coat that buckled over her chest, a red ultra mini with a large pink rose over it curved tightly around her showing each slight movement, her black boots crawled over her legs up in the middle of her thighs. "hehe, thanks boys." She said lowering her head slightly, "But I really don't think black is my color.." She pulled off the jacket laying it on the chair where is slowly seeped off to the floor. "So are you boys ready to go Laura gave us some tickets for shows, I guess her mom won some radio prize or something." "I'm ready!" "I'm ready!" They both shouted out grabbing her arms making her eyes widen as she looked between them. "Ok the circus is first!"

"I think it's only ironic that Howdy is getting out tickets after all this is his home." Dexter said to himself giving a sideways smile as Pashmina walked over to him, "Hey Dexter wanna go get some food from the vendor before it starts?" Dexter bowed politely offering his hands, "Why of course what ever you want." Pashmina took his arm as he led her to the small booth. "Cotton candy, three hot dogs and 3 large sodas." He ordered as Pashmina raised her brows a bright smile over her lips, "Impressive Dexter." He blushed scratching his neck. Pashmina took the food and as several more people came ordering they slipped away, the man behind the counter still screaming at them. As they walked toward the big tents opening they saw Howdy playing a booth game, he held a dart between his fingers looking carefully at the target. He shot the first two darts and they nailed the center. "Wow Howdy!" Pashmina said running over by his side Dexter growled under his breath walking up. "One more.free game and prize.." "Then perhaps I should take it." Dexter said walking up giving a sly smirk, Pashmina looked at him surprised, her face glowed with excitement, "You can do that too?" He nodded proudly as Howdy shook his head. ~If I take the hit I can get pashmina a prize.if Dexter takes it she can see what a lowly lying scumbag he is. ~

"Uhmmm Dexter you can have the game after me if you want, but I'm gonna finish what I started.that's the way I am." He got a seductive voice leaning over Pashmina making the side of her mouth raise in a disgusted look. Howdy smirked tossing the dart easily to the target. "Wow you won I haven't seen anybody win that game for several long years." The carnie said happily handing a big white bear to Howdy who instantly handed it to pashmina, "A symbol of my love." Pashmina blinked a few times before getting a soft face, "Ahhh thank you Howdy that's really sweet of you." Dexter mumbled under his lip as he stepped up to the tent holding out his hand. "My turn!" The carnie handed the three darts into his palm. Dexter looked carefully his glasses slipping down his face as he held the darts tight looking at its path. ~ Ok this is simple geometry, speed angel distance.these are all the factors as long as I through it just right it just hit every time. ~ Dexter flung his arm sending the darts flying, spiraling through the air sharply their nearly never faltering as it flew powerfully. Pashmina's mouth opened slightly as she watched Howdy just winked cutely as the darts smashed against the wall next to the board one at a time. Each slamming into the white washed wood Dexter's eyes opening a little each time his back slumping over as a failure. "Ok that'll be 2$" "2$??" Dexter repeated as he straightened again. "Yup that guy got it free cause he won, now pay up." Dexter sighed heavily as his thoughts ran fast through his mind no mathematical equation in the world could safe him now. Pashmina walked up handing the man her bear. "Here will this do it's all we have." The man looked at her for a moment shrugging, "Yeah.that works now get outa here!"

The three sat down in the greasy seats the floor was slimy and sticky. Pashmina sat down between them; each took their hotdogs about to take a bite simontanisouly when a melody started to play. "LADIES AND GENTLE MEN WELCOME TO THE NEO TOKYO CIRCUS! NOW LET'S START THE SHOW!" Suddenly acrobatics flung from the air, tigers and lions where lead onto stage by a whip wielding man, clowns juggled coming out as they rolled on large balls, elephants marched proudly around the room beautiful women stand proudly on each blowing fire. The three put their hotdogs down their eyes in awe. "Ahhhh wow!" They all chimed as they leaned out of their seats to gander at all the amazing things. Pashmina laughed looking at the baby elephant chase one of the balls the clown was riding. Dexter whipped his glasses peering at the girls blowing the fire, "How are they doing that?" Howdy's gaze fell on the limber people swinging from the ceiling. "Wow! Check it out!" The food went on being neglected as the show continued. Finally it was over and the three rose clapping and cherry wildly. "That was so cool!" Pashmina said happily as Dexter and Howdy both nodded fast. "On to the play!" Howdy cheered leading the way marching proudly as Dexter and Pashmina walked behind him. "Hey Pashmina.uhm I'm sorry you had to give your bear up back there." He said sincerely yet a bit unsure as they walked. Instead of what he might expect from any other girl, Pashmina turned to him with a bright smile. "Oh that's alright, it wasn't a big deal I'd do anything to help out a friend." Dexter couldn't help but blush a little as they walked on Howdy came back and glared his hands on his hips. "AND WHAT IS GOING ON HERE LET'S GO!" Pashmina closed her eyes predicting the exact outcome of his yelling. Dexter's brows went straight and fidgeted with his frustration as he stood up to Howdy. "YOU SHUT UP YOU.YOU ROUGHIEN NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK HAPPENED BUT WE ALL KNOW DEEP DOWN INSIDE WHAT DID HAPPEN." "YEAH AND WHAT'S THAT?" "WE WERE SHARING A MOMENT WHICH YOU SO RUDELY INTERRUPTED." "OH WELL I'M SORRY BUT IT'S ALL I COULD THINK OF TO REPAY YOU FOR MAKING PASHMINA GIVE UP MY PRESENT OF LOVE!" "PRESENT OF LOVE? TRY LUST!" "FUCK YOU!" Pashmina lost it now her shaking anger finally erupted in a shriek, "YOU BOTH SHUT THE HELL UP RIGHT NOW BEFORE I LEAVE! I'M SICK OF YOUR BICKERING AND FIGHTING OVER ME! DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU THAT I HAVE FEELINGS TOO OR DO YOU CARE WHAT I THINK OR FEEL?" She suddenly felt her knees give out as she fell to the ground crying angrily they both looked away ashamed as they tried to comfort her but she just pushed them away. "Let's just go to the play!"

Dexter went off to check amazing detail of the gothic structure that held the play hall. Howdy sat awkwardly next to Pashmina who was still fuming. "Pashmina listen.I'm sorry 'bout earlier I was acting the fool." Pashmina looked over at him her eyes still pink and swollen, "You don't know how hard this is for me, I mean.with Penelope and everything I really need you guys now." "Penelope?" He repeated raising his voice as he went making her nod swallowing the lump in her throat. "It's just that.. She Is my best friend for so long it was just me and her and now. well it's not like that anymore she's with Cappy now and I understand that. After all they are in love. I've always wanted love but I've never really had time before now and well I felt lonely and I knew you two cared about me so." "So your using us as a placement for the friendship lost with Penelope and the lack of love in your life?" Howdy seemed different now the hot lights gleamed over him as he took a stern look his piercing eyes staying on the stage not facing her. Pashmina's bangs curled over her eyes as she bent forward to grab his arm, "No no. I'm not using you, I really do care a lot about you both I just wish we could be three friends and not have all this fighting.I need you two to be there for me now and you are. but whenever you are near each other you both loose it, it's like your just two different people too different." She slowly trailed off biting her soft pale finger subconsciously. "Pashmina we are not two people.we're really sorry for the way we act." She turned around quickly to see Dexter walking up to them. Howdy smiled softly nodding, "Yeah..we just rub each other the wrong way." The lights went low as the curtain opened Dexter sat down on the other side of Pashmina and like the rest of the crowed they went silent. The three slowly left the amazingly old building Pashmina swung around the columns, "Ahhh that was the best play I've seen." "That's the only play you've seen." Howdy pointed out laughing. "Oh shut it." The peace didn't last long as they arrived at McDonalds for a snack. "Kampai!" They cheered clicking the plastic cups together. As Pashmina mixed her salad in a bottle the two boys gorged down the fries. "You two are gonna get sick." Pashmina teased laughing as they growled at each other glancing over the last fry. "Its mine and you know it you ate over your half!" Dexter shouted moving toward the fry but Howdy ran his hand toward it. "Yer the one who ate most of em its mine! I bought em!" "Did not!" They pulled the fry in half and looked at them for a moment each standing up and glancing at each other. Almost simultaneously they put their hands forward. "MINES BIGGER!" "NO MINE!" "PASHMINA WHOSE IS BIGGER?" "WHY BOTHER ASKING YOU KNOW ITS MINE!" "YOU GOGGLE EYED PATHETIC HENTAI OBSESSING PAIN IN THE ASS!" The others in the restaurant began to giggle or give strange looks. A couple teenage girls were snickering and guessing who's was bigger. "I HOPE A GRAPE FRUIT SQUIRTS YOU IN THE EYE!" Howdy stopped and blinked at this and began to laugh falling back in his chair. "What the hell where did you get that lame piece of shit!" "It would hurt it's a citrus you moron!" " Haha that was still the lamest come back I've ever heard!" Dexter twitched in his place looking down at Howdy his brown jacket hung over his blue shirt that hung off him. "That's it lets take this outside!" Pashmina sat in her chair sipping some soda. ~Those bastards.they don't even care how I feel..they say they do and they try to get along but every five minuets they fight I cant handle this anymore..I really cant. I wont pick either. I wont pick either.. ~"I WONT PICK EITHER!" Pashmina jumped up and slammed her fists onto the table, "You jerks. I hate you both I can't handle this anymore." Both boys turned to her their pulses stopped and their faces went white as Dexter fell to his chair. "Pashmina I-" "NO MORE EXCUSES! I can't take this anymore I don't want to be a human anymore! YOU TWO STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!" She sobbed out now but before she knew it a light hit her and she began to shrink. "Pashmina?" "She's reverting back to her hamster form!" Pashmina looked around her body felt tight like the insides of her were being tugged on until she was back to the way she was. Sighing she looked up at the boys and whispered a goodbye before taking off to the exit. Tears spilled from her eyes sparkling. "They have to settle things out.but for now I just cant be around them. I wont ever be with either of them that's for sure. I just wish things could have been better. I finally become a human, which is something I've always wanted, and its ruined. No hanging out with my best friend anymore and no love no nothing. Hamtaro always preaches about friendship and I really am not seeing any here. I just wanna go back to the clubhouse now. Dexter and Howdy sat now sipping their sodas. Howdy's was almost empty filling the silence between the two with the screeching noises. They tried to avoid eye contact eh sunlight bathing them washing through the window over the trash covering the table. Each waited for the other to speak but neither would. "It was all our fault wasn't it." Dexter asked his legs lend outward far under the table as he leaned back in his chair. "Yeah go figure we start chasing that fille for at least what 5 years and now we finally blew it." "I'm not surprised. I never though she would choose either of us personally." Howdy just nodded at this. "I dun think I really loved her though." "No I enjoyed the competition and well it was mainly just a crush that was blown to proportions by the very competition I craved." "You satisfied then Dex?" Dexter shrugged his black hair shadowed his face darkly making his features distinct his dark eyes finally moved to howdy's. "Well Im over it now what do you wanna do?" Howdy shrugged cracking his neck. "Dun care. Whatever you wanna do." Dexter blushes slightly looked wide-eyed, "You mean you still wanna spend your one day as a human with me?" Howdy smiled putting his cup down. "If you want me to go I will." His smirk was almost tempting. Dexter couldn't resist teasing him, "Fine fine go then, im sure all the street hobos would love to be your friend you might even be the boxcar leader." "Be more fun then what your planning let me guees math and museums?" The two stared at each other for a moment before laughing. "Well how about we just talk you know about everything that's happened." Dexter looked up at Howdy with surprise. "Wow that's actually a good idea." "Hey not like its my first." Finally the sunset was approaching over the park where Howdy and Dexter had been sitting. All day they talked things out and resolved their difference allowing bygones to be bygones and reminisced about all the long years they wasted on Pashmina. The two sat up in a tree watching the sun making sure they wouldn't be late even though they were in the same park as they were suppose to be in. "Hey Dexter I'm kinda glad about the stuff that happened today." "Yeah me too." Dexter looked down to where his hand was swinging over the edge of the branch, it was enlaced with howdy's. Dexter blushed not realizing when that happened he stared at their hands for a minuet before looking back at Howdy whose tanned soft face was glowing with the orange light from the setting sun was laying directly in front of him. "Howdy, uhmm.." Howdy gave a sly smile, "Yes?" Dexter smiled and shook his head softly, "Nothing." Moving slowly Dexter moved back against Howdy and they lei together on the branch waiting as the time slipped away slowly. Howdy's arms moved gently over Dexters stomach pulling him closer. "So is this ok, I mean well ya know." Howdy started as Dexter closed his eyes feeling the warmth from his once hated rival. "Un Mousukoshi Konomama ga Iikara." Yeah, I like this situation and I want to keep it this way Howdy couldn't help but smile as he took his hand gently to Dexters chin and guided his face turning him around into a gently kiss. Dexter turned around and was brought fully into Howdy's arms. The clouds slowly rolled over the sky and sun melted toward the horizon, and the time approached when things would be over. ~Through the pain of loosing any chance with Pashmina I've found more love then she could ever have given and in the last place I excpected to find it. I couldnt ask for anything more. I hope Pashmina finds love too.~ ~Go Figure this woulda happen..never saw it commin.~ Stan sat in the clubhouse with Hamtaro now as pashmina came in. "Pashmina?" "Hey guys."
