Memories In A Locket: Chapter 6

"Just one step Sammy…that's it, oh no! Wait! Wrong way!" Panda yelled, as Samantha started walking, but was heading towards Pashmina instead of Panda, "Yeah…go to your mom…guess your dad doesn't count for anything," Panda said, sweat dropping.

"Good girl, oh yes, you're a smart one," Pashmina said to Samantha, picking her up. Sandy and Bijou giggled, feeling sorry for Panda. Bijou held her baby in her arms, and Sandy was pregnant with her own.

"Oh sure, laugh. That helps," Panda said sarcastically. Then he felt someone tugging at his fur, and when he looked down, it was Samantha, "Aw, what a good girl." He picked her up and put her on his shoulders, then went to go get something to eat.

"Hamha!" Hamtaro yelled merrily as he came in. Everyone else greeted him. "Hey Bijou," He said, walking up to Bijou and giving her a kiss on the cheek. "How's our little boy doing?" He said, taking Shin in his own arms.

"He discovered ze meaning of ze word 'pull' last night," Bijou informed Hamtaro. She crossed her arms and looked at him.

"What? He was playing with my fur and I thought it was cute, alright. Something wrong with having a little fun?" Hamtaro said, as Shin pulled on his ear. "Ouchichi!" Hamtaro said in pain, struggling from shin's grip on his ear. Bijou just shook her head and smiled.

Maxwell then came in through the door, and greeted everyone. "Sandy, come on, there's something I want to show you," He said taking her paw and heading out the door.

Maxwell had Sandy's eyes covered, and he was leading her somewhere. "Maxy, what is it tha-hif-hif-hif-hif," Sandy said, but was interrupted by a familiar smell. "It smells like…hif-hif…flowers. Are we at the flower field again?" She asked curiously.

"Well…yeah, but look," Maxwell said taking his paws off Sandy's eyes. She gasped. Never had she seen a more beautiful sunset, and the rain droplets made the flowers glitter, making it even more of view.

"Maxy…it's…it's…beautiful," She said, awe struck. "I've like, never seen anything like it." Sandy clutched her necklace trying to take in as much of this view as possible. She turned to Maxwell and gave him a warm hug, "Thank you," she whispered to him.

"Anything for you Sandy," He said, hugging back. After the hug, Maxwell took her down to the field, paw-in-paw.

"Hm…they like, smell even better up close," Sandy said, as she picked on of the flowers. She giggled at Maxwell. Every time he picked a flower, a butterfly would chase him. Sandy picked up one flower with a butterfly, and the butterfly crawled onto her paw. "Hey, that tickles," she giggled, as it crawled onto her arm.

"Sandy, it's getting late, we'd better head back," Maxwell said.

"Alright," Sandy said, letting the butterfly fly off.

"You had something…something special. It just set you apart from the others. Like one smile from you would always brighten my day, and your laugh always made me laugh too, but when you stopped smiling and your laughs began to fade, you were someone else. Someone I didn't know, someone in serious need of help. The only problem was…you found the help you needed a little too late…"

~~~~~*~~~~~

"Sandy…she's beautiful," Maxwell said to Sandy, who was now holding her baby daughter in her arms.

"Yeah, I know," Sandy said, smiling. She spoke very softly. "She's like…our own little world."

"Yeah. What're you going to name her?" Maxwell asked.

"Hm, I don't know. What do you think we should like, name her?" Sandy said, looking at Maxwell.

"Um," Maxwell responded. "I know. How about Star?" Maxwell said smiling.

"Oh, that's a perfect name. Star," Sandy said, smiling lovingly at Maxwell.

*****

Sandy sat in her cage, looking at the sky, smiling. Her ears perked when she heard some noise coming from where Star was sleeping. It sounded like she was awake. "Heke?" Unbeknownst to Sandy, her middle stripe way glowing again. She went to the crib, only to find Star tossing and turning. She kicked and began to cry, but hadn't opened her eyes, like she was just having a nightmare. "What's like, wrong Star?" Sandy said, picking up the baby.

Luckily, she began to calm down. Sandy smiled, "You just wanted your mommy like, didn't you?" Sandy went back to where she was sitting and rocked Star back and forward. "Heke?" Sandy said, when she saw Star's forehead begin to glow. The little baby opened her wide eyes, she only tilted her head when she put her tiny paws on Sandy's face and felt the tears roll down her cheeks. Sandy looked down at her baby, "You're like, so special," she whispered to the tiny ham. Sandy smiled when she saw Star smiling with her wide eyes sparkling. Star grabbed Sandy's necklace, and titled her head again. Sandy noticed that their foreheads were still glowing.

The baby looked up at the sky, reaching out to it with her paws. "What is it?" Sandy said, looking up. Sandy gasped and her eyes widened. There weren't stars up there anymore, instead, there were angels, all dressed in white, and with beautiful wings. Sandy smiled, and gave her baby a kiss. "My little baby girl who's like, granted with a special gift…"

*****

"Our love will like, last forever Maxy, don't worry," Sandy said, lying down on a bed. She put her paw on Maxwell's face, "Promise you'll like, take care of our baby."

Maxwell sniffled, and held Sandy's paw against his face, "I promise."

"You know…I made a wish on a star, that a miracle would like happen, and I just thought now that I didn't need to make that wish, cause you're like, my miracle Maxy, you and our little baby." She said, looking out the window, "You're both my miracle," then she looked back at Maxwell, who smiled weakly at her, she smiled back and grabbed his paw, squeezing it, "Please don't cry, just remember that I'll always love you," Sandy said, smiling weakly, as she wiped the tears off Maxwell's face. "And promise me you'll like, live on happily."

"As long as you love me, I'll always be happy," Maxwell said, more tears running down his face. He clutched his necklace, "Together forever."

"Yeah, together forever. Just keep that in mind," Sandy said, her voice getting softer. She smiled weakly at Maxwell. He smiled back, but couldn't hold back all the tears that kept flowing down his face. "I love you, Maxwell," she said, barely above a whisper, as she closed her eyes completely, and her breathing slowed down, until it finally stopped.

"I love you too Sandy…I'll never forget you," Maxwell said, as he cried, holding his necklace tightly.

~End Chapter~

Oh, I get the feeling that so many of you out REALLY hate me right now…just don't flame me too much. Hehe…*nervous laugh* Oh boy…but you know, Sandy's my most fave character, so I didn't mean to bash her…Just trying to make things a little sad, that's all. *prepares for flamers*^^;;
