Chapter 6: Merry Christmas!
Maxwell woke up early on Christmas morning. He got up and stretched then walked out to eat some sunflower seeds, "Sorry Maxwell, but I won't be here all day. I've Christmas things to do, but I hope you have a nice day. Merry Christmas!" Said Maxwell's owner as he left out the door.
{Well, I hope you have a nice Christmas too} Maxwell thought. He ate his sunflower seeds and took off towards the clubhouse.
*****
As he walked in he could hear Boss talking happily from inside. Maxwell opened the clubhouse door and was very surprised at what happened.
"Merry Christmas Maxwell!!!!" Shouted the ham-hams, which were all there except for Sandy.
"Uh, merry Christmas to you too," Maxwell said.
"Look, look! Santa sent me a gift again! I knew I was a good ham this year!" Boss yelled happily as he help up a brand new shovel.
"I got a brand new bow tie," Dexter said straitening his bow tie.
"Well, ah got a brand new apron! Much better then Dexter's smelly bow tie!" Howdy said crossing his arms.
"You take that back, you stinky country ham!" Dexter yelled angrily at Howdy.
"I'm not the one acting like he's a smart no-it-all ham!" Howdy yelled back.
"Well at least I'm not wearing a girly apron!" Dexter snapped.
"Why you-" Howdy jumped at Dexter and they began to fight. Everyone else just sweat dropped.
Sandy came in a while later holing her presents wrapped up under her paw, "Hamha and merry Christmas! Sorry I'm like, late," she said smiling, "Did I miss anything?"
"Nope. We were just planning on going to the park again!" Boss said.
"Oh ok," Sandy said, she looked at Maxwell and smiled.

"Vat did you bring Pashmina?" Bijou asked.
"Oh. I brought Panda a new hammer," Pashmina blushed. "What about you?"
"I brought Hamtaro a card," Bijou too blushed. "Did you zee vhere Sandy vent. I vant to know if she found her card."
"No," Pashmina answered, "but I think I know where she might be. Come on!"
*****
Maxwell nervously walked up to Sandy, "Hey Sandy."
Sandy looked at him, hiding something behind her back, "Hi Maxy," she said shyly.
"Um, can I speak to you in private?" Maxwell asked blushing.
"Yeah. Sure," Sandy said. Maxwell took one of her paws and led her toward a big cherry blossom tree. He smiled at her and started to climb it. Sandy smiled back and climbed after him. At the top, Maxwell sat on a branch and Sandy sat right next to him. "So what did you want to tell me?" Sandy asked.
"Well, I didn't want to exactly 'tell' you something, more like 'show' you something," Maxwell turned around and brushed the snow off a cherry blossom then plucked it out. He turned to Sandy and looked into her eyes, "I found this one day and you know what it reminded me of?"
"What?" Sandy smiled.
"You," Maxwell answered as he handed her the flower, "It was the most beautiful cherry blossom I had ever seen, and I knew you were gonna like it."
"Are you like, saying I'm as beautiful as this cherry blossom, cause you said it reminded you of me?" Sandy asked, hoping for a good answer.
"That's exactly what I'm saying," Maxwell answered.
Sandy's eyes sparkled with joy, "Oh Maxwell, you're like, the sweetest ham I've ever met!" Sandy hugged him tightly, "Thank you. Now it's my turn to give you a present." Sandy turned around and gave Maxwell what she was hiding behind her back.
Maxwell opened it to find the book, and acted surprised, "Wow! Thanks Sandy!" He pretended. Then he noticed Sandy smelling something, "Uh Sandy?"
"*hif-hif-hif-hif* The book smells like you Maxy," Sandy said starring at Maxwell.
"Uh," Now Maxwell was lost. He couldn't think of what to tell her, then he decided to tell her the truth, "Sandy, I have something to tell you." Sandy just continued to look at Maxwell, "I found the book before when you thought you lost it, and I didn't know who it belonged to so I took it home and decided to find out who it belonged to, then I sneaked it into the clubhouse so you would find it. I'm really sorry Sandy, I really only want you to be happy. Will you forgive me?" There was silence. "Well, I understand if you don't want to talk to me anyone."
"You went through all that just for me, Maxy?" Sandy asked quietly.
Maxwell looked at her and nodded, "Yeah. I really care about you," he said.
Sandy's eyes watered, "You really are the sweetest ham I've ever met," she said very softly. Sandy threw her paws around him and embraced him in a warm hug, then whispered very softly, "I love you."
Maxwell hugged her back, and he clearly heard what she said then replied, "I love you too." When they let go of each other, Maxwell wiped away Sandy's tears for her, and she put her paw on his cheek.
"You're like, so cold," she said.
Maxwell looked up and saw a mistle toe hanging from the tree branch over head, then he took Sandy's paw off his cheek, "I know how to make it warmer," He said, then he leaned in and placed his lips over Sandy's, kissing her.
Sandy's eyes widened with surprise, but she kissed him back, with her paws around him. When the kiss ended Sandy still had her paws around Maxwell. He just held her close as she lay her head on his chest.
"Merry Christmas Maxwell," Sandy said quietly.
"Merry Christmas, Sandy."
