I Can't Help But Laugh

"And then she says, 'Well, I'll be a rat's uncle!' Get it? Hyuck hyuck hyuck!" Howdy laughed at his own joke and everyone sweat-dropped.
Bijou giggled. "Hee hee! Zat's a good von, 'Owdy!" she exclaimed.
Pashmina raised her eyebrows. Why was Bijou laughing at Howdy's jokes? She glanced at Maxwell who was also amused.
"Why, thank you Bijou!" Howdy said, blushing and making his ears fold down. "I'm glad you like it."

Dexter chuckled. "Howdy, can I talk to you?" he asked.
"Sure, Dex! Anything!"
The two sidled over to a corner and sat on the couch. "Bijou sure liked your joke, hm?" he said, not looking up.
Howdy blushed a raspberry red. "Well, she seemed to like it." he said, trailing off.
"You also seem very pleased."
Howdy frowned. "What do you mean?" he asked innocently.
"I mean, do you like Bijou?"
Howdy's face couldn't go redder-but it did. He was so embarrassed that Dexter felt bad, but he kept on pressing.
"Well.?"
"Oh, alright, I do! She doesn't like me, though, she likes Hamtaro!" he exclaimed.
Dexter sighed, patting Howdy on the back. "Hey, I used to think Sandy loved Maxwell, but look now!"
Howdy fidgeted. "Maybe I could ask her out, you think?" he asked.
Dexter nodded. "We could have a picnic?"
Howdy brightened. "Or better! We could go to the Ham-ham amusement park!"
Dexter smiled. "There you go! Now, let's ask Boss if we could go!"
The asked Boss and he smiled. "Great idea!!" he exclaimed. Maybe I can go on the Ferris Wheel with Bijou! he thought.
Pashmina packed a lunch. "This is going to be fun Maxwell!" she exclaimed.
"Yes! We can go on the Ferris Wheel!' he added.
"I was thinking the roller coaster."
Maxwell paled. "We-well, I don't know."
Pashmina kissed him. "Don't worry; I'll hold you're hand!"
It was a gorgeous day. The sun was a lemon ball or gold and all the sunbeams were pooled around. The clouds hung like globs of whipped cream in the sky and birds twittered, as though performing a concert.
Seeing Pashmina and Maxwell cuddling, Sandy nuzzled Dexter. "Will you go on a ride with me, Dexter?" she asked, putting on Bambi eyes.
Dexter melted. "S-sure, Sandy. Whatever ride," he said dreamily.
Howdy was fidgeting nervously in the corner. When was the time to ask out Bijou? Probably when they got their, that would be logical.
The amusement park was crowded with people and the Hams ran off in their separate ways. Pashmina and Maxwell climbed onto the roller coaster while Stan was coaxing Bijou to go on the Twirly Cups with him.
Dexter and Sandy were in line for the Ferris wheel when Dexter spotted Howdy. He winked at him and gave him thumbs up. "Good luck," he mouthed.
Sandy was all giggles today. "Oh, let's go on this ride!" She was having the time of her life. Pashmina was flustered as well and was all giggles (as well).
After about an hour of rides, Dexter looked over at Howdy. He was still in the corner and meanwhile, Boss was pampering Bijou!
Dexter excused himself from Sandy and trotted over to Howdy. "Well.?" he asked impatiently.
"I just can't!" he exclaimed. He took off his apron (gasp) and slung it over his back. "She has no interest in me!"
Howdy must have been blind with those squinty eyes, because Bijou kept glancing their way. Dexter kept him mouth shut.
"I'm sorry to hear that. Well, keep on trying!" Dexter said encouragingly and Howdy smiled. With a friend like Dexter, he thought, who needed anybody else? he thought.

Bijou pulled herself away from Boss, a little bit disgusted. He was always following her around. She got in line for a roller coaster and looked around. She jumped a little when she came face-to-face with Howdy.
"Oh! Bonjour, Howdy!" she exclaimed.
Howdy looked up, blushing. "Howdy Bijou!" he said, sweating a bit.
"Isn't zis fun?" asked Bijou, blue eyes gleaming like stars.
Howdy nodded. "Yes'm! This ride looks scary doesn't it?"
Bijou shivered. "A little, oui!"
"Would you like to ride in the same cart as me?" Howdy asked hesitantly.
She blushed. "Vell, alright Howdy!"
The two climbed into a yellow cart and pulled down the bar. The roller coaster began to click up the hill, mounting excitement in Howdy.
There was a sudden drop and he felt as though his stomach had been left behind. Bijou let out a scream, holding her hands into the air.
About ninety seconds later, the ride stopped.
"Oh! 'Ow exciting!" she exclaimed to Howdy.
Howdy shook his fur. "Yeah! Hey, you wanna go on the House of Ghosts?"
Out of the corner of his eye, Howdy saw Boss, his face red with anger. (Boss is not my favorite character.) Howdy ignored this and he and Bijou headed over to the chilling mansion.
The climbed into the cart and it began to move slowly. Ghosts popped out everywhere.
"Oh, zis is frightening!" Bijou exclaimed.
Suddenly, a skeleton popped out of a corner and Bijou jumped and landed in Howdy's lap.
They both blushed and Bijou sat back down. She then gripped Howdy's arm the next time and shivered.
"Hey, don't be scared Bijou. I-I'm here," Howdy said softly.
"Zank you Howdy!"
The ride proceeded as follow: Bijou would grab Howdy's hand every time something bad happened and Howdy would draw closer to her. By the end of the ride, the two were pressed closed together, without even knowing it.

The clerk smiled and chuckled. These kinds of rides always create couples! he thought.
The two climbed out of the car, blushing so deep it didn't seem they could go any deeper.
"Thanks Bijou," Howdy said after a few minutes of awkward moments.
"Oh, zank you Howdy!" replied Bijou and she skipped off.
Howdy blushed and folded his ears down. "What a day! And it's not even over!"" he murmured to himself and walked off.
Sandy and Dexter had just stepped off the House of Ghosts ride and were sitting with Pashmina and Maxwell in the snack bar.
"Hey!" whispered Pashmina. "Did you see Howdy and Bijou? They seemed pretty friendly!"
Sandy nodded. "Like, totally!! And me and Dex were sitting write behind them in the House of Ghosts ride! Did you see Bijou the way she like, jumped into Howdy's arms?"
Dexter and Maxwell rolled their eyes. "Girls," they both muttered at the same time, looking with a bit of disgust at the crooning girls.
Howdy spotted Dexter out of the corner of his eye and nodded.
He sidled up to Bijou, tapping her lightly on the shoulder and making her jump.
Boss, who was talking to Bijou at the time, looked at him, a fire of jealousy burning in his eyes.
"Um, Bijou, can I talk to you?"

Bijou blushed. "Yes, of course."
She turned away from Boss and just as Howdy was about to say something, Boss tapped her on the shoulder.
"I wasn't finished what I was saying," he said stubbornly.
Bijou frowned. "Boss zhat vas very rude! Howdy asked to say something to me and you interrupt. Besides, you said you were finished; you told me!"
Boss looked at Bijou, trying to do puppy eyes (or is it Hamster eyes.?) but failed terribly because Bijou looked away, disgusted.
"Yes Howdy?"
Howdy took a breath. "Uh, well, Bijou, will you go on the Ferris Wheel with me?"
The Ferris Wheel was considered the most romantic ride, because all the couples went on it together.
"Okay," Bijou replied, blushing so deep that she looked ready to explode.
Steam was practically
