Chapter 3: The Plan
Maxwell opened his eyes slowly. He rubbed them then looked out the window. {It's snowing} He thought to himself, watching the white snowflakes falling from the sky. He looked around to make sure no one was watching and he headed to the window, witch was open a little. He squeezed through the small crack in the window and jumped onto the snow. He ran to the clubhouse, just like he would everyday, but something was wrong {Something's missing. I think I left something at home} *badda-badda-badda* He quickly ran to the clubhouse.

"What was it that you lost again, Sandy?" Boss asked. The ham-hams, except for Snoozer and Maxwell, who wasn't there yet, were all sitting at the round table.
"It's a book of poetry," she answered.
"But what does it look like?" Panda asked.
"It's like, blue, and it's a sorta small book, but it's got tons of poetry in it," Sandy said, describing the book.
*****
Maxwell slowly walked up to the clubhouse door, but right then was when he remembered what it was that he forgot. {the book!} He was about to head back to his home, but he heard the other ham-hams talking, and they were saying things about him, so he decided to listen.
*****
"Why is it such a bad thing if Maxwell has the book?" Cappy asked, lifting his pot.
Sandy sighed, "Well, you see, it was my Christmas gift for him." She blushed a little, then continued, "If Maxy has the book, then I won't have another Christmas present for him, and it'll ruin everything cause he won't be surprised, like I hoped," she said sadly.
*****
Outside, Maxwell was trying to figure out what to do, {That was her present for me? Who would've thought.} He smiled a little, {I think I know what to do, if she doesn't want me to be the one with the book.} He turned and quickly headed home, hoping that the plan he had would work.

Bijou looked up from a small box she was holding, then called Pashmina over, "Pashmina, come look at zis!"
Pashmina went over to her with Penelope by her side, "Something wrong Bijou?" she asked.
"Nozing iz wrong, it iz just zat I found somzing to put up az a Christmas decoration," she said smiling brightly.
"Another decoration? Don't you think we've put up enough decorations already?" Pashmina said.
"Ookwee," Penelope started jumping up and down.
"No zilly," Bijou giggled, "It iz somzing zat I vont to put outside." Pashmina tilted her head a little, and Bijou went on talking, "It iz a mistle toe." She took out a small little thing that looked like two, small, white berries and some green leaves with it.
"Oh, what's it for?" Pashmina asked examining the little thing. Bijou giggled again.
"Vell…" She whispered into Pashmina's ear, and Pashmina eyes slowly widened.
"Really?" she asked as Bijou leaned away from her. Bijou nodded.
Pashmina smiled, then she, Bijou and Penelope headed out the door.

Maxwell ran back into his cage and went into the little house. He grabbed the book and thought of what he was going to do. {Well, I could just tell her that I had it. No, I want her happy. I know, what if I snuck into the clubhouse and left it there with out anyone noticing.} He smiled, {Yeah, and she'll never know I had it} He grabbed the book and without Maxwell noticing, the card slipped out and fell to the ground.
*****
Maxwell ran to the clubhouse, but before he went he decided to stop at the tree with the one cherry blossom in it. {Such a beautiful cherry blossom} he said to himself admiring the pink flower. He then heard noises…
"Yeah, that's a perfect spot for it." said one voice.
Maxwell, in fright, started to run to the clubhouse without stopping to think about who the voices belonged to.
Pashmina circled the tree that Maxwell was just standing by, and watched him run off, "I wonder what he's in such a hurry for." She then turned to Bijou, who had started climbing up the tree.
"Zis is ze perfect spot for it, no?" Bijou asked, starting to put the mistle toe up on one branch, wich was right over another branch.
"Yeah, it's perfect," said Pashmina. Bijou smiled when she finished and started to climb down the tree.
"It vould be so romantic to stand under it, vith zat someone special," Bijou said with a sigh.
Pashmina too sighed. Then they ran back to the others, who were at the park.
*****
When Maxwell walked into the clubhouse, it was empty, no one was there. {I guess they went outside} Only Snoozer was there. Maxwell slowly walked to the table and gently placed it there, then he started going back to the door when…
"Zuzuzu…They're at the park…zuzuzu…" Said Snoozer sleepily.
"Huh?" Maxwell turned to him and titled his head, "Heke?"
