With Caitlin...
Caitlin was brushing her hair and putting it up into pigtails when the phone rang. "Oh!" she exclaimed. "Hope that's Boss!" Caitlin answered the phone. "Hello, this is Caitlin," she said. "Hi, Caitlin, this is your mom," the other end said. "Mom!" Caitlin said. She then said, "But I was expecting my Boss to call, Mom." "Your boss was going to call you?" Caitlin's mom questioned. "No!" she shouted. "Boss! He was going to call me! Kinda my boyfriend!" "Oh, Caitlin. That's so sweet," Caitlin's mom replied.
The other line started beeping. "Hold on, Mom," Caitlin acknowledged and switched to the other line. "Hey! Boss here," Boss said. "Hi, Boss Man!" Caitlin replied excitedly. "Mom was on the other line." "Oh, really?" he queried. "What's her name?" "Tammy," Caitlin said. "Oh, OK. Got three-way?" Boss inquired. "Yeah, hold on," she remarked.
She switched to the other line again and said, "Mom?" "I'm here," Tammy replied. "I'm doing three-way so you can talk to Boss," Caitlin acknowledged. "OK, dear," she said.
Caitlin redialed Boss's number and did three-way. "Boss? You there?" she questioned. "This is my mom, Tammy." "Hi...," Boss muttered. "Hamha!" Tammy replied. "Um, Mrs....," he murmured. "Or you could call me Mrs. Montgomery," Tammy replied. "OK," Boss replied. "Well," Mrs. Montgomery said, "I gotta go, dern it. Your father's having difficulty with the car." "Bye-Q, Mom!" Caitlin said blissfully. "Bye-Q, Mrs. Montgomery," Boss said sullenly. "Bye, honey. Nice to be able to talk to you, Boss," she remarked and hung up.
"Boss? You still there?" Caitlin asked but only got a slight beeping. "He hung up?" she asked herself. "There's something wrong with this picture. He never hangs up on me."
With Hamtaro...
Hamtaro ate quickly and got out of his carrier. "What could I give Laura that's not already hers?" he asked himself as he trudged toward the drainpipe. "Am I going to get Mom something, too? Hey, I can call her my mom! She's Laura's mom, so she's mine, also!" Hamtaro said to himself.
As quickly as he could, Hamtaro slid down the drainpipe. He landed on Brandy and said, "Hiya, Brandy." He replied, "Oowaa..." Hamtaro ran to the hole that led into a tunnel to the clubhouse. Oxnard was already there. But instead of just him, Caitlin was with him. "Caitlin?" Hamtaro questioned. "I gotta tell y'all something while we walk to the clubhouse," she replied in haste.
The threesome jumped into the hole and started to walk the tunnel. "What's wrong, Caitlin?" Oxnard asked. "It's Boss," she replied. "Mom called this morning and I wanted him to talk to her so I put on three-way. I introduced Mom to Boss. After that, she had to get off because Dad was having difficulty with the car. I was going to talk to Boss after that and ask him what was wrong because he acted sulky, and he hung up! Boss hung up on me!"
Hamtaro thought in silence what might've been wrong. "Maybe depressed," Oxnard thought aloud. "I doubt it," Caitlin remarked. Hamtaro replied, "I doubt it, too. Why would he be depressed? That's something Howdy would say!" "Maybe hormones?" Oxnard returned. "Wait...that's something Howdy would say also."
Hamtaro, Caitlin, and Oxnard soon reached the clubhouse door. Hamtaro opened it slowly and peeked in. Boss was sitting at the table just staring into space. "Hamha, Boss," Hamtaro said. "What's the-" "Nothing," he retorted hastily. The three Ham-Hams entered the clubhouse and sat down at the table with him.
Caitlin and Hamtaro sat on both sides of Boss. "Oh no," Caitlin said and turned toward Boss. "You don't like my mom!" Boss stared at her but said nothing. "It has nothing to do with your mom," he replied in a whisper. "You lost your voice!" came from the door.
The four Ham-Hams turned toward the door to see Howdy and Dexter. "Heh heh heh!" Howdy laughed. "Your only whispering, so I thought you lost your voice!" Dexter sighed and sat down at the table. Howdy seated himself next to Dexter. "Uh, is something the matter?" he remarked after a minute. "I don't know, Howdy," Dexter returned.
"Oh, yeah! Now I remember!" Howdy said to break the silence. "I've gotta cough up a gift for my owner! She's like my mom!" "I'm getting my owner something, too," Dexter acknowledged. "Hey, y'all," Caitlin spoke up, "I'm going to ask Mom if she wants to come to the clubhouse next Sunday! How does that sound?"
Hamtaro finally said, "I have to get something for Laura, too." At that moment, Bijou came racing in. "Do any of you have extra ribbons?" she asked. "I might. Why?" Caitlin asked. "I'm going to give Maria some for Mother's Day," Bijou replied. Pashmina and Penelope came in right after. "Can any of you help me knit a big, pink scarf for June?" Pashmina asked. "Penelope said she's going to get Kylie sunflower seeds."
Sandy and Stan rushed in next. "Bijou, do you have any extra ribbons?" Sandy asked. "I just asked Caitlin that question," Bijou replied. "I think I might," Caitlin remarked. "If we don't," Pashmina said, "We can always knit some." "Ookyoo!" Penelope shouted.
The girls talked it over and walked outside to go get their supplies for their Mother's Day gifts. "I have to make something for my mom," Caitlin acknowledged. "I was thinking about inviting her to come to the clubhouse and meet y'all." "Coolio!" Sandy exclaimed. "Ookwee!" Penelope shouted. "You can knit her some pretty hairbows and wrap them in leaves," Bijou suggested. "Too bad t'is not autumn. You could then have red leaves."
"OK!" Sandy said. "Let's start on our gifts!" "Yeah!" the five girls said in unison.
Caitlin was brushing her hair and putting it up into pigtails when the phone rang. "Oh!" she exclaimed. "Hope that's Boss!" Caitlin answered the phone. "Hello, this is Caitlin," she said.

"Boss? You still there?" Caitlin asked but only got a slight beeping. "He hung up?" she asked herself. "There's something wrong with this picture. He never hangs up on me."
