(A/N) Hey folks, I wanted to take the time to thank everyone who has
reviewed. Reviews mean a lot to me, and you all have encouraged me to keep
this story going! As a matter of fact, you have made me very happy and
wired. :)
I am shocked that some people are actually saying it is good. I have had teachers complement me and say I am good at writing, but I expected the reviews for my story to be...well....horrible. So I am going to thank you all again for your nice reviews. :)
Anyhow, I looked back at my first couple of chapters and noticed some stupid grammar and spelling mistakes in some. Chapter 2 uploaded wrong and I did not get the last part of the chapter in or the author's note. I try my best to check and make sure there are not any mistakes, but I am not perfect. What human being is anyways? Heh.
I must mention one thing. I am a very recent Hamtaro fan, only seeing seven episodes, but I have completely finished the GBA game. I have yet to see Stan and Jingle in any of the episodes. I read up on them and will try to match their personalities the best I can. I wish Hamtaro was on later in the day. I am at school during the show. I can only get the episodes by DVD, and there are not many out yet. Perhaps someone on ebay has all of the episodes on vhs? Hmmm........
Well, here is shot number three. I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I had fun writing it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- Chapter 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------
Harmony and Boss quickly made their way to the cave at Sunny Peak, running as fast as they could.
They finally reached their destination.
"Pant.....pant.......here he is........think you can carry him?" Harmony asked, out of breath from the run.
"Of course!" Boss replied. He gently but quickly picked Spat up.
Spat mumbled something weird in response. "Pfffhhtt.................mom...........pickles.......*snore*.......ducks... ."
Boss and Harmony just sweatdropped. "Eh......I hear you can say weird things in your sleep when you are really sick." Boss said with a grin.
"Funny, but we must hurry back!" Harmony responded briskly. "We need to get him warm and dry."
The two of them quickly ran back to the clubhouse, Boss careful not to drop Spat. When they arrived, the rest of the Ham Ham gang were back at the clubhouse. They had all heard the news about Spat and were anxious to hear what happened. As soon as Boss and Hamony came through the door, they were bombarded with a bunch of curious Ham Hams. "Hey, watch it! We have a sick hamster here! Someone go get a blanket for him, and a towel to dry him off with!" Boss commanded.
Bijou went to go get a blanket, while Pashmina went to get the towel.
Boss quickly climbed up the stairs and layed Spat on one of the beds, quickly followed by Harmony and the rest of the Ham Hams.
Bijou and Pashmina came up the stairs last with the blanket and towel in hand. "Vill he be ok, Boss?" Bijou asked, while looking over at Spat sympathetically. Spat was cringing and wringling around on the bed. He looked like he was having a nightmore. He started to mumble some more things.
The rest of the Ham Hams started to chatter away at this odd behavior.
Maxwell gently laid his hand on Spat's forhead. "He is buring up! I will go get a thermometer, and I will read up on some medecine we can give him." Maxwell quickly darted down the stairs to fetch the items. Harmony started to dry Spat's tangled fur, trying not to mess it up more that it was already. Just as she finished drying him off, Maxwell returned with the thermometer and book in hand. He gently poked the thermometer in Spat's mouth to take his temperature. When he was finished, he looked at the results. "Wow! 103 degrees Fahrenheit! We need to keep him warm. Bijou, put the blanket you got on him. I read in this book of medicine about a cure for a fever. The ingredients I need are one acorn and a few pumpkin seeds. I have everything else. Who will volunteer to go find these?"
"I will!" Pashmina offered.
"I will go and help you, Pashmina." Dexter offered.
"No, I will go! She needs someone who can lighten her up in this situation,haha!" Howdy said with the usual laugh.
"Why don't all three of you go? And Penelope too," said Harmony. She secretly wanted them all to go so she did not have to hear one of Dexter and Howdy's arguements on top of all the other pressure. "We don't need an arguement right now. The more Ham Hams we send, the faster we can find the ingredients anyways."
They all nodded and agreement, and Howdy, Dexter, Pashmina, and Penelope set out to get the needed items.
Spat started to mumble again and tremble some more.
"I wonder what he is dreaming about?" Harmony thought to herself. She wished he would wake up. She wanted to make sure he was ok. For some reason, her concern grew for him more and more.......and she was afraid of losing him. It made no sense for her. After all, he was the evil one who caused so much trouble among the hamsters. Spat suddenly started to thrash about in his bed, even though he was still out cold. Boss and Hamtaro went over to hold him down.
"What are you doing? Stop this!" Boss cried, but Spat was still unconscious. He started shouting something out that they could all make out.
"Stop it, Dad! Please don't hit me again! I am sorry.....so sorry! Ahh, please, please stop. It hurts!" Spat whimpered in his sleep, then screamed again and sat up, awake and stunned. "Where am I?" he cried, confused. Persperation was pouring off of him from the nightmare. Tears were still streaming down his face, and he was still shaking a little.
All the other Ham Hams just looked stunned from what just happened. Harmony ran over to the side of his bed. "We are at the Ham Ham Clubhouse. Are you ok, Spat? You seemed to have had a bad dream....."
Spat looked at her confusedly. How did she get here? What just happened? How did he get here in the first place? "What happened? How did I get here? What is going on? Why do I feel so bad? Pffhhttt........."
"Harmony found you lying in a cave. You were soaked and very sick, so we took care of you." Boss replied.
Spat then realized his awkward situation. He was the one who caused all the trouble, and they took him in? What for? Sure, he was sick, but wouldn't they just leave him there after all he had done? He felt ashamed. He looked down and fiddled with the warm blue blanket that covered him. "Why.......why did you take me in? After all that I had done........" He looked down in shame.
The Ham Hams all looked speechless. "Vell..........we felt we could not just leave you there, despite what you did." Bijou responded.
"We could not just leave you out there to die. You could have gotten worse." chided Hamtaro.
"You are welcome to stay here for the time being, though. When you get well, you can return to your home." Boss offered.
".......Thanks.........." Spat said. He was not used to all this niceness. He did not want them to know he had no home. He just went where ever he could survive.
"Hey, were're back! Haha!" Howdy said with a loud entrance, followed by Dexter,Pashmina, and Penelope.
"Ookwee!" Penelope exclaimed cheerfully.
"We got everything you needed, Maxwell!" Pashmina said as she handed the stash to Maxwell. He took them greatfully.
"Thanks, guys. I will go fix up some medicine for Spat." he said as he looked in Spat's direction. "You all just pass time while I get this ready." Maxwell briskly ran down the stairs, getting ready to prepare the cure. Pashmina and the rest of the gang that went with her to get the ingredients noticed for the first time Spat was awake. Spat looked at them, then bowed his head down shyly and shamefully. They had even gotten him medicine too. They must really care about him. He looked up at Harmony as she stroked his forhead. He noticed for the first time what pretty dark eyes she had. He wished he had eyes like hers. So dark.....pretty.......innocent......
"Your fever still seems to be high. You should lay down and get some sleep. We will wake you up when the medicine is ready." Harmony said soothingly as she continued to stroke his forhead. He secretly enjoyed her doing this.
Harmony stood there for another moment absentmindedly, still rubbing Spat. She snapped back into reality and blushed with embarassment at the realization of what she was doing. "Hee hee, I will let you sleep for a while now."
The Ham Hams went downstairs again, but Harmony paused briefly and looked back at Spat who was lying on the bed.
"Spat...........if it is ok to ask, what were you dreaming about? You were screaming something about your dad...." Harmony asked.
"I really don't want to talk about it......" Spat replied, looking down again. "Maybe I will tell you about it some other time."
Harmony nodded in understanding, and silently went downstairs.
End of chapter 3. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
I know the end of this chapter was not very good. I wanted to make the chapter longer, but it just didn't happen. I have no clue what to write for chapter 4. I will have to chew on it tonight.....hmm..... Thanks for reading and reviewing!
