Summary: Is Sandy ok or not? Will Jonathon find that special someone?

Chapter 3:A New Friend and Enemy

Sandy lay in a hamster sized bed. Stan and Jonathon stood over her waiting to see if she was alright. Slowly Sandy moved and opened her eyes, then rubbed them and looked around "Like, where am I? What happened?"

Stan hugged Sandy tightly, taking her by surprise, "Sandy, you're ok! Man, sis, I thought you were a real gonner!" He cried.

"What happened to me that had 'you' so worried?" She asked when they let go of each other.

Stan sniffled and told her everything, then introduced her to Jonathon.

"Hi, like, nice to meet you," Sandy said cheerfully, shaking Jonathons paw.

Jonathon shook her paw with pleasure and said, "Nice to meet you too." He looked Sandy over from head to toe and realized something that he hadn't realized before, 'Boy, she's beautiful' He thought to himself.

"What are you, like, looking at?" Sandy asked.

"Oh, nothing!" He said quickly.

Stan then came over to them, "Hey, Jonathon-dude, can we have a tour of the place, it looks totally rad."

"Sure, it'd be my pleasure," Jonathan smiled, then he jumped out of hamster sized house, "Aren't you guys hungry, though?"

"Yeah, totally," Sandy said excitedly, then she jumped out of the bed and ran out of the little house. "What's there to eat, I'm totally starving."

"Well, we have sunflower seeds," Jonathon said.

"That's cool dude. Sunflower seeds are my fave meal," said Stan. He ran around the cage and spotted the tray with sunflower seeds in it, then he ran over to it and started munching on seeds, *krmp-krmp-krmp*

Sandy sweat dropped, "Um, Stan, bro, don't like, eat it all!"

"Don't worry, if we run out then our owner will give us more," Jonathon reassured Sandy. She smiled at him and he almost jumped with joy, 'I think I'm in love', he thought to himself.

"Yeah, and don't bother coming back, you cowards!" Shouted Diamond at the group of boys walking away with bruises and cuts all over them. Diamond began walking home talking to herself, "Stupid boys, they think that just cause there's more of them then me, that they could bring me down." She walked home angrily. When she got to a small pet shop, she jumped into a bush and through a hidden tunnel, and when she reached the end of it, she climbed up a table and into her cage.

She was surprised at what she saw when she got there, "Who are you?!" She asked the twin tiger striped hamsters, who were eating from 'her' food tray. One of them immediately looked up and walked up to her, then took her paw.

"Stan the ladies ham's', the name gorgeous. What's your name," He kissed her paw and she was about to slap him, but something evil crossed her mind instead.

"Oh, well you're such a gentle ham. My name's Diamond," She said, faking a kind smile.

"Why, what a nice name for such a gorgeous ham like you. How about we ditch this place and go somewhere more quiet," Stan said moving closer to her, but he was pushed away by Sandy.

"Like, don't mind my bro, he's such a flirt. My name's Sandy," Sandy said smiling cheerfully.

"Oh, nice to meet you Sandy," Diamond lied once again.

*****

Sandy and Stan had decided to stay with Jonathon and Diamond. They were staying in the other empty cages. Jonathon sat in Diamonds cage late at night, while Diamond paced back and forth, trying to come up with a way to get rid the twins.

"Diamond, what is so urgent that you need to call me for a meeting at 12:00 midnight?" Jonathon asked.

Diamond stopped and turned to him, "It's those twins, I don't like 'em."

"What's wrong with Stan and Sandy, they never did anything!" Jonathon said madly.

"They're getting in the way of things, that's what," Said Diamond, "and we need to get rid of 'em, especially 'cause you're falling in love with the girl."

"Her name's Sandy, and how did you know that I loved her?" Jonathon asked, wondering how Diamond found out about him loving Sandy.

"It's so obvious, Jonathon. I mean, the way you look at her and how you're so nice to her in every way, it's almost disgusting," Diamond said in a disgusted tone. "Besides, her brother's getting on my nerves, always flirting with me and bugging me, not even I flirt that way!" She paced back and forth again then she came up with a plan, "I got it. What if we took them on a tour of the city and ditch them somewhere downtown or something'?

"What if I said that I didn't want to help?" Jonathon asked back.

Diamond glared at him, "Fine, I'll give 'em three more days to stay with us, but then I'm getting' rid of 'em, whether you help or not."

"Fine," Jonathon agreed reluctantly.

"Good. Now go back to your cage." Said Diamond as she ran into her ham-sized house to go to bed.

"What am I going to do?" Jonathon asked himself.
