Chapter 5: Christmas Eve
The next day was Christmas Eve and Maxwell still had to find a way to give Sandy the card without her noticing that it was him. He hid the card in one of his books and made his way towards the clubhouse. He walked in and saw Boss and the ham-hams putting things away.
"Hamha," Maxwell said, "What happened here?"
"Sandy said she lost something yesterday and that she was looking for it in here," Boss said a bit frustrated. "I don't understand why she couldn't have looked in her home yesterday instead of looking in here and tearing the place apart!"
"I did look in my home!" Sandy yelled, "It's just that I was like, sure it was here!"
"Sure you were," Boss answered. Then he turned to continue cleaning.
Maxwell remembered how mad Sandy was yesterday and that all she was doing was looking for the card. He decided to help them out.
Soon everyone was done and they began to do what they normally did everyday. Bijou, Pashmina, and Penelope walked over to Sandy.
"What's wrong Sandy? We thought you found the book, did you loose it again?" Pashmina asked.
"No. I did find the book, but the card's like, lost now," Sandy replied sadly.
"But don't you have anozer card?" Bijou asked.
Sandy just shook her head slowly. Bijou and Pashmina looked at each other.
*****
Maxwell hurried home, in hopes of finding the card. {Where did it go? I was sure it was with me when I brought the book to the clubhouse!} He rushed to his house and went to his cage. He started digging through all his books and the things that were laying around his little house. He spent an hour there looking through almost everything. As he was about to give up he noticed that he hadn't checked under his small table yet. {Well, it's worth a try…} He slowly walked to the table and looked under it. {There it is} He grabbed the card and looked it over, he realized that it smelled a lot like his home, *Hif-hif-hif-hif* "Hhmm, it doesn't smell like when I first found it," He looked at it again, "Well, maybe she won't notice." He then took off back to the clubhouse.
*****
Sandy sat alone again, this time she was watching all the other hams ice skating on the frozen river.
"Come on Sandy! It's fun out here! Weee!" Pashmina yelled happily as she slid by Sandy.
Sandy just smiled, as she watched Bijou skating behind Pashmina, with Penelope, "Zat's it Penelope. You almost know how to ice skate," she said cheerfully to the baby ham.
"Weeee! Ookweeee!" Penelope squealed. Bijou laughed behind her and they continued to ice skate.
Maxwell watched from behind a tree making sure no on would see him sneaking into the clubhouse. He tip-toed past everyone slowly towards the clubhouse.
*****
"Zuzuzuzu…" Was all Maxwell could hear as h entered quietly. He shut the door and walked to the table, putting the card there, then he quietly walked back outside.
{Now how do I get Sandy to come to the clubhouse?} He questioned himself as her ran through the tunnels. *Badda-badda-badda-* He ran quickly and with out noticing ran right into someone else.
"Ochichi," said the other ham-ham.
"Sandy?" Maxwell asked. He looked up and there was Sandy, looking at him in an apologetic way.
"Sorry. I like, wasn't watching where I was going," she apologized.
Maxwell held out his paw to help her, "It's ok. I wasn't paying much attention to what was ahead of me either."
Sandy smiled and took his paw, and he lifted her up, "So what are you doing here? I haven't seen you like, all day."
"I was just, uh, just…" Maxwell tried to come up with an explanation, "I was just looking for you and the other ham-hams." He said quickly. "And what are you doing here?" he then questioned.
"Well, I have to go get my ribbon at the clubhouse," she said, "I like, need to practice."
"Oh, ok," said Maxwell. Sandy smiled and quickly ran towards the clubhouse. Maxwell blushed a little.
Sandy made her way through the door of the clubhouse. She walked in and went to get her ribbon. As she began to walk out the door, she slowly looked at the table and immediately dropped her ribbon. Her eyes watered and she ran to the table, "The card! I can't believe it's been here like, all this time!" she smiled brightly and then took her ham-sized pen and finished the card:
To: Maxwell
Merry Christmas! And Best wishes!
From: Sandy
Sandy looked at it then went back and changed some things:
To: Maxy
Merry Christmas! I hope that you get everything that you wanted, and that all your wishes like, come true!
Love always,
Sandy
Sandy smiled brightly and noticed something strange about the card, *hif-hif-hif-hif* "Smells different, but it's so familiar…" she thought for a while then decided to go back to her house to go get the present.
*****
Maxwell sat in his cage, thinking about the day ahead. {tomorrow's finally Christmas! I can't wait to give Sandy her present.} He thought very happily. He looked out his window and saw that it was snowing, then he looked at his owner, who also looked very happy. Maxwell smiled and decided to go to bed. {Nothing can go wrong now. Tomorrow, everything's going to be fine}.
