Ch 6. Alternate Endings

-Last Respects: Idea by T.W

Laura cried herself to sleep that night. She would deeply miss Hamtaro. About Two O'clock in the morning Laura had a weird dream. It started out by a grave site. She walked along the cemetery until one grave caught her attention. It was Hamtaro's. She rubbed her eyes, and when she brought her hands down from her face she noticed the hamsters of all of her friends gathered around the grave. They were all crying, as if they knew Hamtaro personally. Then one of the Hamsters turned towards Laura. He was brown and tan, had a yellow helmet and carried a shovel. Then he spoke to Laura.

"Come Laura. Say goodbye to Hamtaro. I know you'll miss him, we all will, but saying farewell to him might make you feel a little better." He said expressing hi sorrow.

Laura was surprised. She didn't know that hamsters could talk, and she really didn't know that she could understand them. Then she wondered if Hamtaro could talk all of this time without her knowing it. As she moved closer to the grave, her sorrow grew. She finally made her way to the grave to where the small casket was open. When she peered in she saw Hamtaro lying in the casket, which had beautiful red covering on the inside. She moved her head over the casket and began to speak to Hamtaro.

"Hamtaro, I just want you to know that I'll miss you little guy. I enjoyed the time we spent together."

Laura's eyes were beginning to fill with tears, so she lifted her arm up and wiped her tears with her sleeves. Then the rest of the hamsters gathered around him and said a few words. Most importantly was Bijou, who finally gathered up the courage to tell Hamtaro how she felt about him. It was to late though. She would never get the chance to spend time with her secret love again. The casket was then closed and lowered into the ground. Then the casket was buried and all of the ham-hams laid some flowers at the grave then headed back to their houses. Laura remained at the grave for a while longer, still crying her heart out for her pet hamster.

Bijou was looking all over for Hamtaro. She was the most worried and wanted to see if he was all right. Just then she saw Laura and her mom come out of the veterinarian's office.

"I don't know honey." Laura's mom said to the mournful Laura. "Hamtaro looked really hurt. We'll have to wait and see if he's going to be ok or not."

Laura didn't reply. She just stared at the ground in front of her. It was obvious that she wanted Hamtaro to be all right, but she wasn't sure if that was going to happen or not. All she could do now was go home and rest. The vet will call them with the news about Hamtaro.

Meanwhile, Bijou was rushing inside to go and find Hamtaro. She frantically searched all of the rooms, but to no avail. Then she heard one of the veterinarians come out of a room in the back, and talk to one of the other veterinarians that was in the room that he and Bijou were in.

"I don't know if that little hamster is going to make it." said the first vet.

"He's in pretty bad shape you know. You've done all you can. Now we should let him rest and see if he can recover." explained the second vet.

"Yeah, but I hope the poor little guy makes it through. I can tell that his owner really cares about him, and if he died she'd be heartbroken."

"They must be talking about Hamtaro and Laura." Bijou said to herself.

She rushed into the open door just second before the first veterinarian closed it. She looked around and saw many different carriers that contained many different kinds of animals. She saw everything from dogs and cats to snakes and lizards. But she wasn't looking for any of those creatures. She was looking for a particular hamster. Then she spotted a cage that contained a small little water bottle, similar to the one in her cage at home. She made her way to that carrier where she found what she was looking for. It was Hamtaro. After all of this time, she had finally found the one she truly loved. She saw Hamtaro lying in pain, barely able to breath. This made her upset because she really cared for Hamtaro.

Time passed and as Bijou watched Hamtaro, she grew more and more sad. Eventually she lost all hope of seeing him smile at her again. Then, unexpectedly, Hamtaro opened his eyes for the first time in a long while.

"Bijou, I'm glad you came to see me." he said in a quiet whisper.

"Hamtaro, you shouldn't be talking. You need your rest." she replied worried about Hamtaro's well being.

"It's ok Bijou. I just want to say something to you."

Hamtaro paused for a second, fighting to remain alive long enough so he could confess his love to Bijou.

"I.l..l..love you Bijou."

"Oh Hamtaro." she said, shocked at what Hamtaro had just said to her. "I love you too. I always have and I always will."

Hamtaro smiled at her one last time before closing his eyes and going into an eternal rest.

Bijou sat there mourning over the loss of her one true love, then she headed home teary eyed. The others saw her and asked her what happened, but they could tell by the expression on her face what had taken place. That night Bijou cried herself to sleep. She would never get to see her true love again. It pained her to think about this. The other Ham-Hams were just as upset. Not one of them would be getting any real sleep tonight. All they could think about was their dear friend, whom they would never get to see again.
