Summary: Stan and Sandy just barely escape from Diamond. But someone saves them.

Chapter 7: Hillary

Diamond looked at the five hamsters that she sent to kill Stan and Sandy. They were all lying on the floor unconscious and they were bruised and had cuts all over them. Diamond turned to Jonathan, who didn't look very good either. He had a black eye, cuts and bruises all over his face. Diamond didn't seem very hurt, in fact she looked like she didn't fight at all. The only different about her was that her fur was a complete mess. She glared at Jonathon and spoke, "You let them escape, you idiot!!!"

Jonathon stayed silent for a while but decided to say something, "They were my friends Diamond, I wouldn't let anyone hurt them," He spoke very softly.

Diamond didn't seem to hear him. She just turned her head in the direction that Stan ran and thought to herself {He's going to the pet shop, I know it. Perfect} She smiled and started running towards the pet shop.

"Diamond!!!" Jonathon called after her, and he chased her.

*****

Stan looked up at the window of the pet shop from the outside {Should I go in?} He asked himself. Then he felt Sandy move on his back.

"Whoa! Like, what happened?" She asked rubbing her head.

Stan put her down, "Yo sis, are you alright?"

"Yeah, but what happened?" She sounded a bit weak.

"Well, Jonat-" Stan couldn't finish cause Sandy interrupted.

"Jonathon?" It was then that Sandy remembered what happened. Her mind started spinning with memories…

~Flashback~
The dog chased them barking loudly. Sirens all over the place started going off and red lights flashed everywhere. Stan grabbed Sandy's paw and held it tightly, *badda-badda-badda* More black dogs came out and chased them.

"They're headed that way! Go get 'em!" Yelled one of the humans that worked at the animal shelter. The dogs were obedient and did as they were told. Guards with black suits started to come out with nets.

"Hurry sis!" Stan yelled to Sandy.

"I'm, like, going as fast as I totally could!" Sandy replied. *Badda-badda-badda* ~End Flashback~

Sandy's head immediately shot up, "The shelter," she said very softly. Sandy's eyes widened, "No."

Stan looked at her strangely, "Sis, what wrong?"

"The shelter. I-I-I-it's like, all happening again," She said, small tears welling up in her eyes.

"Heke?" Stan said confused. Then up ahead, he saw Diamond running back with Jonathon chasing her.

"Sis, come on!" Stan grabbed Sandy's paw and led her to the bush where there was a small hole. Sandy looked at it and another memory flashed through her head…

~Flashback~

*Badda-badda-badda* Stan and Sandy ran fast, until Stan noticed a small hole in the wall. "Sis, look up ahead!" He told his sister.

Sandy too, noticed the hole, "Like, that might be our way out!"

"Yeah, come on!" *Badda-badda-badda* They ran fast, and into the hole. It was a long tunnel, but they finally reached the end of it.

~End Flashback~

Sandy pulled Stan's paw off her arm, "What are you doing?!" Stan asked.

"I-I-I can't go," She stammered quietly. "Its like what happened that day, when we left the shelter."

"But sis, that was days ago! Come on!"

Sandy shook her head, "No."

"Fine. Then I'll just carry you in!" Stan ran up to her and lifted her over on to his back.

"Stanly!!!" Sandy yelled.

Stan ignored her and ran through the small hole. When he finally got inside he looked up and saw the table where his and Sandy's cages sat. Sandy kept moving on his back.

"Put me down!" She demanded.

Stan was about to put her down, but as he was doing so Diamond came running in. "I've got you now you little excuse for hamsters!"

Stan put Sandy down and grabbed her paw. {There's no way I'm letting go} He thought to himself. Jonathon came running in after Diamond. Stan began to go up the table while Sandy followed. Jonathon jumped on Diamond from behind.

"I won't let you hurt my friends!" He yelled to her.

Diamond turned to him, "Oh yeah?" She then punched him in the face sending him flying backwards. {Sorry Jon} She laughed then looked up to where Stan and Sandy were. Both were up in front of their cage trying to open it.

"Stupid lock!" Stan yelled, "it won't friggen' open!"

Sandy head spun with yet another memory…

~Flashback~

"Man, this so hard!" Stan yelled. He couldn't get the lock to open. "Now I know why mom couldn't get us out earlier, this friggen' lock won't open!"

"Whoa! Chill bro, let me try." Sandy walked up to the lock and slipped her paw in. With a few twists and turns Sandy finally opened it. "There, see that, like, wasn't so hard."

"Yeah, whatever. Let's just get out of here."

~End Flashback~

Sandy pushed Stan out of the way.

"Yo sis! What was that about?!" He asked.

Sandy slipped her paw in the lock and unlocked it. Stan stared {How does she always do that}.

"Hurry!" She yelled pushing Stan in the cage, then she to jumped in.

"Get back here you stupid twins!" Diamond yelled from the floor, then she started to climb up to their cage.

Jonathon shook his head and looked to where Stan and Sandy were. He gasped, "Diamond!!! Leave them alone!!!" He started to run up the table and punched Diamond from behind. She turned and tried to punched him in the face, but he dodged and started to run down the table with Diamond following.

The twins rested in their cage, then they both looked up at a human girl with brown hair tied into a ponytail. She looked at them and smiled, "Awww, you two look so cute." She stuck her finger in between the cage bars. The twins looked at it curiously, then Sandy took a step forward and touched her finger. The human girl smiled wider, "I think I know exactly what I'm going to buy." The human girl left and in a few minutes she came back with the store owner, "I want to buy those two hamsters," she said indicating to Stan and Sandy. The store owner took the cage and walked to the front counter. Sandy and Stan turned around to find Diamond fainted on the ground and Jonathon was waving to them next to her. He had a bright smile on his face.

"I hope to meet again with you two!" He called, {especially you, Sandy. I hope to one day tell you how I really feel} He then thought.

"We hope so too!" The twins called from their cage. Then Jonathon dragged Diamond away and disappeared.

When the pet shop owner set Stan and Sandy down then looked at the human girl, "Two hamsters. So what are you going to name them?" He asked.

The girl thought hard and closed her eyes. {Stan. Sandy.} She opened her eyes and looked around, {What was that?} she asked herself.

"Something wrong miss?" The store owner asked.

"Uh, no. I'm going to name them Stan and Sandy." {That was weird} she thought to herself.

*****

The human girl led the twins into her house. "Ok, first of all, my name's Hillary and welcome to my house." She ran up stairs and into a large bedroom then put the cage on a table next the window.

{What a nice house} The twins thought to themselves. Hillary filled their food tray with sunflower seeds and gave them fresh water.

"Uh, I have to go out but I'll be back. Bye guys," she then ran out the door.

"She's a pretty cool human," Stan said.

"Yeah. She's way awesome," Sandy answered. {I think I'm gonna totally like living here.}
