Memories In A Locket: Chapter 1

"Wow, it's like, so pretty," Sandy said, her eyes sparkling. "Can I open it?"

"Sure, it's yours after all," Maxwell said smiling.

Sandy slowly opened the locket, which had small diamonds surrounding it. Inside was a picture of her and Maxwell, and on the back it said, 'Together forever'. Maxwell had a necklace just like it, which he wore around his neck. Sandy looked up at Maxwell and smiled, "Thanks, I don't think I've ever seen anything like, more beautiful."

Maxwell blushed, "You're welcome, but I know something more beautiful…way more beautiful."

"What?" Sandy asked with questioning eyes.

"You," Maxwell said quietly as he turned more red.

Sandy too, began to blush, "Oh well…thanks again." Maxwell took the necklace from her paws and went around behind her.

"So…do you plan on going to the clubhouse…or not?" He said as he tied it around her neck.

"Well yeah, of course," Sandy answered.

"Alright, let's go then," Maxwell said, as he finished. He took Sandy's paw and they both hurried from her house to the clubhouse.

"It's their anniversary?" Hamtaro questioned.

"Yeah, they've been together for a while now," Boss told him.

"Oui, for a very long while," Bijou added. Her and Hamtaro smiled at each other. "But you know…we have been togezer for a while too, no?" Bijou said, looking over at Hamtaro. She scooted a little closer to him.

"Uh…yeah, I guess we have," Hamtaro said.

Bijou smiled at him sweetly, "shmubby-wubby," she said, rubbing her cheek against Hamtaro's. He blushed a really bright red.

"Hamha!" Yelled Panda happily, as he and Pashmina came in, with Penelope too of course.

"Hamha Panda," Hamtaro said, with his usual smile on his face. "Have you and Pashmina decided on a name yet?"

"No, not yet. We don't even know if it's going to be a boy or girl," Pashmina said, patting her belly. Panda smiled at her.

Boss looked around, "Where's Howdy and Dexter?" He asked, noticing that they were both missing.

"They're outside, shooting some hoops," Stan said, shaking his maracas. "Of course, They both know that me and Cappy could kick their butts at it any day, right Cappy?"

"Yeah, that game's fun," Said Cappy from under his pot.

"And the crowd goes wild! Raw raw raw!" Howdy said, busting through the door.

"And the winners are…" Dexter started saying from behind Howdy, "Drum role please," Dexter told Howdy, as he did the drum role. "The winners are…The RED TEAM!!!! Howdy and Dexter! Yeah!!!!" Howdy and Dexter both hi-fived each other. The rest of the hams clapped for them.

"Yeah sure…but everyone knows that the Green Team's much better," Stan said. "We could beat you any day!"

"Yeah right," Said Howdy.

"Wanna bet?" Stan said, with a smirk on his face.

"Yeah…you two against us, loser cleans up the clubhouse for a whole month. Deal?" Said Dexter, extending his paw towards Stan.

"Deal," Stan said clearly, shaking Dexter's paw. Then all four hams ran outside.

*****

"Hey sis," Said Stan, running by Sandy, "Bye sis!" He said quickly waving.

Sandy and Maxwell sweat dropped, "That was like, quick." Then Cappy, Howdy, and Dexter ran by Maxwell and Sandy. Sandy and Maxwell sweat dropped even more. "Looks like they're gonna play basketball again." Maxwell nodded. So they continued on their way to the clubhouse.

Sandy's head began to hurt a little, "Ouchichi…my head." She stopped walking and held her head.

"Sandy, are you alright?" Maxwell asked, concerned.

Sandy's head stopped hurting, "Yeah, I'll like, be okay, don't worry," She looked at him and smiled.

He smiled back, "Alright." He took her paw and they both went to the clubhouse.

*****

"Hamha, happy anniversary you two!" Hamtaro said cheerfully. "How long's it been…a year and a half?"

"Yeah," Sandy told him. "Hey girls," She said as she went over to Pashmina, Penelope, and Bijou.

"Bonjour Sandy. Happy anniversary," Smiled Bijou. Pashmina grinned.

"Thanks," Sandy said thankfully, then she turned to Pashmina, "Any idea for a name yet?"

"Nope, we're still thinking, and like I told Hamtaro, we don't even know if it's a boy or girl yet," Smiled Pashmina. The other girls smiled back at her. Sandy looked over at Maxwell and sighed…'together forever' she thought.

"Stop it Maxy, that tickles!" Sandy giggled. What was suppose to be a goodbye hug, turned into a tickle attack.

"Oh really?" Maxwell said, smiling mischievously as he continued to tickle her. They both fell to the ground, laughing.

"Yeah really!" Laughed Sandy. She tried to move away from him, but it was impossible, he just wouldn't stop. "Stop Maxwell!" She tried not to laugh, and tried to be serious. "I'm serious!"

Maxwell stopped, "Okay, okay, I stopped." He heard Sandy sigh with relief.

"Finally. I like, thought you'd go on forever," She smiled at him, to let him know she wasn't angry. He smiled back. Then Sandy realized something, "Ahem…do you mind? You're like, kind of heavy."

"Oh, sorry," Maxwell apologized, blushing. He got off Sandy then helped her up. "So, I guess I'd better be going, it's getting late." Said Maxwell.

"Yeah…so…'night then. See you tomorrow Maxy," Sandy said, a little quietly. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and started walking to her window, "Ticky-ticky-ticky…"

"Yeah, g'night," Maxwell responded, blushing. When he saw Sandy go into the house, he started walking back to his own home.
