Okay, so I didn't get the chapters up ASAP. I couldn't get on yesterday. (Was busy reorganizing my room) Well this chapter has no gang fights or cussing drunk hamsters, in fact, this is probably the most less violent chapter in this fic! (Except for the fact that someone gets slapped, but hey, that happens in practically all animes!) So sit back, munch on some sunflower seeds, (Just make sure they weren't stolen from a hamster or gerbil! ^^) and enjoy!

Chapter 4- Karu's a pervert and Iris's a guardian

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Boss's Flashback ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was after Boss kicked Karu's butt in the fight that he realized what he had done. He was walking home with his friend Lexie when he stopped in his tracks. Lexie kept on walking until she realized Boss had stopped. "Hey what's wrong Boss-man?" Lexie asked. (Uh-Huh, Stan calls Boss the same thing, I guess it's just a fad!) Boss, as if in some kind of daze, shook his head and said, "Nothing, well, I just kinda feel guilty for hurting that Karu guy." Lexie rolled her eyes. "hey, that Karu was a complete jerk. I bet all the girls are really happy he's gone!" ".why?" "Well, he likes to flirt, a lot." "So? Lot's of guys flirt. except for me of course." "*Laughing* No, no! He was going a little too far! You know, invading other's personal space." ". what a pervert." "I know." Boss caught up with Lexie. "Hey Lex, remember when we were babies and the KnockAround gang was in the park?" Boss asked. (Yup, that's a pretty wimpy gang name but that's all I can think of.) "Oh man, when they were here it was hell! I still have scars from their little parade!" Lexie exclaimed. Lexie paused for a moment, thinking, and then turned to Boss. "You know, you seem to have more bumps and scrapes from Bandit than you do from the KnockAround gang!" She said. "Well that's because Iris was there." Boss answered. "Iris? Really?" Boss sighed. "Yea, before Bandit ruined her-" "Whadda ya mean by ruined?" "Bandit destroyed her self esteem, she's too scared now." "Oh, poor Iris." "I know. She used to protect me from KnockAround. And man, for a girl-ham, she sure did pack a punch!" *POW!* Lexie smacked Boss on the face and he falls down anime style. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN!? YOU MEAN TO SAY ALL GIRL CEPT FOR IRIS ARE WEAK!?" Lexie screamed. Boss sat up and rubbed his face, there's a red paw mark on his cheek. "No!" He whines, getting to his feet. "I wouldn't dis you and you know that!" Lexie cools down and gives a ditsy, innocent smile. "Oopsie Daisy!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Present Time ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Whoa, you mean to say a girl slapped you!?" Hamtaro exclaims. ".yea, so? I bet you've gotten smacked!" Boss mutters. "Actually I haven't." Hamtaro states. "Oh! And I never knew Karu was so close to other hams! I always thought everyone hated him!" Boss falls anime style. "That's not what Lexie meant." He mumbles.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gee, some peeps are really clueless! Kind of an uneventful chapter, but it'll get better, meaning there will be more drunk ranting of Bandit.

C-ya later alligator!
