With Hamtaro...
"C'mon, Hamtaro!" Laura exclaimed and got Hamtaro out of his carrier. Hamtaro gleefully jumped into Laura's hand as the two went out of the room and downstairs.
Mr. and Mrs. Haruna were sitting around the coffee table in the living room. Other than Hamtaro, Laura was carrying a flat, rectangular box that was wrapped in wrapping paper. Laura put it on the coffee table and sat Hamtaro down on the coffee table in front of her.
Laura put the box in front of her mother and said, "You can open it now." "Thank you, Laura," Mrs. Haruna thanked as she unwrapped the box. When she got all of the wrapping paper off, she took the lid off the box. "Laura, did you make this all by yourself?" Mrs. Haruna said as she picked up the beautiful, yellow apron that was in the box. "Yup," Laura replied proudly. "That was very thoughtful of you, pumpkin," Mr. Haruna remarked.
Hamtaro watched as Mrs. Haruna opened her gift from Mr. Haruna. "Marion," Mr. Haruna said, "I thought you'd like a new brooch." "Forest, you shouldn't have," Mrs. Haruna exclaimed as she pinned on the brooch with a peridot on it on her blouse. "I'm glad you like it," Mr. Haruna replied.
Hamtaro watched as the family looked at the two cards that Laura and Mr. Haruna got for Mrs. Haruna. "OK, Hamtaro," Laura said. "Time to back to your carrier."
Laura gingerly put Hamtaro back in his carrier. "Be good, Hamtaro. OK?" she remarked and closed the door to her bedroom. "Time to go to the clubhouse!" Hamtaro said aloud and opened his carrier door and slid down the drainpipe.
With Caitlin and Mrs. Montgomery...
Caitlin led her mother through the tunnel to the clubhouse. "This is the clubhouse," Caitlin said as the two approached the door. She opened it and held it open for Mrs. Montgomery to go through. "Hamha!" Caitlin and Mrs. Montgomery said in unison once the door closed behind them. "Who's that?" Mrs. Montgomery asked.
Boss was dressed in a black tuxedo with a bouquet in his paws. His face was deeply shadowed and his helmet was on the table. "Oh my gosh!" Caitlin exclaimed. "He's going to propose to me!" Boss looked up at her and said, "That's not the point." "Huh?" Mrs. Montgomery queried. Boss walked up to Caitlin and said, "Caitlin, what I'm doing is I'm going to pay Dear Mother her respects. There was no funeral for her. And if there was, I was out of the state before it started. I was only a little boy when she died." The tears formed in his eyes as he said it.
Boss put his helmet on and grabbed his shovel. "I've got to go," he remarked. "Boss, what are you doing?" Caitlin asked. "I'm burying this bouquet as Dear Mother's gift." With that, he exited the clubhouse. "I haven't a clue what's going on around here," Mrs. Montgomery sighed.
A few minutes later, Hamtaro and Oxnard entered the clubhouse. "Where's Boss?" Hamtaro asked. "He just left," Caitlin remarked. "Why?" Oxnard asked.
"C'mon, Hamtaro!" Laura exclaimed and got Hamtaro out of his carrier. Hamtaro gleefully jumped into Laura's hand as the two went out of the room and downstairs.
