Acyd:Well, since I got two reviews yesterday, I think it's time to add the second chapter. Be glad, it's incredibly rare that I continue my story so soon. Let me just think where I left off... O yeah.

Pashmina:So, what's gonna happen?

Penelope:Ookwee!

Acyd:Just give me a second... Okay, still don't own Hamtaro... Here's the new chapter...

***

~Oxnard's POV~

"Oww! Hamtaro!" I screamed.

"Sorry, Oxy. I didn't know you were still stuck in there. Here, have a sunflower seed..."

I took the seed.

*krmmph krmmph krmmph*

I guess I could let it go, just this once. Besides, the drain pipe was dark so he might not have seen us.

"Okay," I said. "Just be careful next time."

We were about to leave for the clubhouse when we heard talking. We turned around and saw Laura and Kana heading our way. Hamtaro ran up the pipe, leaving us with the sunflower seeds but we had to go fast so Laura and Kana wouldn't see us when Laura stopped to greet Brandy.

*badda badda badda*

We got to the clubhouse without stopping for a breath. I swear, sometimes it's just a little close. I wondered why Kana was at Laura's house but it didn't really matter, as long as we never got caught.

~Hamtaro's POV~

Wow, that has got to be a new record for running up a drain pipe. I must've been only about two seconds in there. I got into my cage mere seconds before Laura opened her bedroom door.

"Hi Hamtaro!" both girls exclaimed.

Aww, great. Now I'm stuck in my cage all afternoon. I wonder what the others are doing...

~Boss' POV~

After we got to the clubhouse, we sort of all felt bad about leaving Hamtaro alone. All the Ham-Hams sat around and tried to figure a way to make it up to him. Then, Bijou had an amazing idea...

"I think Pashmina's idea was wonderful. We should all have a sleep-over at Hamtaro's house to keep him company!"

"Bijou," I said. "That's the best idea I've ever heard!"

~Pashmina's POV~

Bijou's idea? What in the world was Boss talking about? Bijou had even commended me on it, she hadn't come up with it. Sometimes I just wish that Boss had the nerve to tell her... Then I think of how heart-broken he'd be when Bijou tells him the truth about Hamtaro.

Everybody began leaving the clubhouse and heading back towards Hamtaro's place. Howdy cracked a few on the way, Dexter picked a flower for me... It was the usual Ham-Ham walk through the park. But when we got to Hamtaro's, we all remembered the terrible ordeal that Boss and Oxnard had just gone through minutes ago. By the looks of things, they remembered too...

*kush kush kush*

"Well," I began. "Let's go inside! But maybe Oxnard will have to go first."

"I agree," Bijou said. "That way, we can all help him to get to the top without getting stuck again. But who will carry the sunflower seeds?"

Boss leapt at the idea of doing something nice for Bijou... So naturally, he said he would, it was actually kind of funny how he did it, too. Stan and Howdy were about to offer but right before they had a chance to say anything, Boss had bowled them over and volunteered.

"Well, if that don't beat the dirt..." Howdy said, looking evilly at Stan. "I don't know what will!"

"Why Howdy," Stan replied. "I believe we just did!"

I have to admit, that was one of Howdy's better jokes. I found it hard to stifle my giggle and in moments, Howdy was by my side.

"Ya' liked it, Pashmina?" he asked.

"That joke was terrible, Howdy!" Dexter threw in, rushing to my other side.

I could almost literally see fire in their eyes. I imitated Hamtaro's giant sweatdrop from earlier because I just couldn't take it anymore.

"LET'S JUST GO INSIDE ALREADY!!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

...

"Ookwee!"

And with that, we were off...

***

Acyd:I hope this is longer than my last chapter, I just can't write big chapters for such little characters.

Howdy:Boy, was THAT a short joke...

Dexter:O, how VERY funny Howdy. Let's ask Pashmina to settle the score...

Pashmina:O no you don't. I'm not getting involved in this.

Howdy:Ha! Dexter, I think I just won...

Acyd:Alright, let's just finish it now... Goodbye everyone, I hope you enjoyed chapter two! And remember...

Ham-Hams:The more you review, the faster she updates!

Penelope:Ookwee!
