Meanwhile, Dexter was over at the Bad Hams Place telling Mike what
the Ham-Hams had done that day. "So, Stan hit you in the face with a
soccer ball because you were asking the girls a question?" Mike questioned
to make sure he was correct. Dexter nodded in reply and continued, "And
the rest of the day, Caitlin took Boss for a walk so the Ham-Hams could
talk about his surprise party. I don't have an idea what to get him, but I
figured you have me covered."
Mike grinned his toothy, eternal grin and responded, "Why, yes, I do." "So, can you tell me what it is?" Dexter inquired. "Tell me what you said it was," he replied. "I said it was a surprise," Dexter told Mike. "Then it's a surprise," Mike answered.
Dexter again said, "I promise I won't tell anybody, not even my glasses' cloth." Mike grinned and stated, "You naughty, naughty boy, I can't tell you right now. I'll tell you when you need to know. But I gurantee you'll love the gift you'll give him."
Dexter nodded and remarked, "I'm sure I will, Mike." Mike's grin got even bigger as he said, "Don't you worry about that. Be sure to keep on spying for the next two days. On the twentieth, I want you to not go to the clubhouse. I want you to come immediately and early in the morning here. Today's the seventeenth. You have two more days." Dexter nodded again and replied, "Thank you. But are you still sure I'll win Pashmina's heart?" "As sure as it can get out," Mike responded. "You better get home now."
Dexter nodded once again and raced out of the Bad Hams Place. He ran all the way home without stopping. I'm sure Mike has me a gift for Boss, Dexter thought as he traveled home.
Meantime, Hamtaro and Oxnard were almost home. "Yeah, I don't know where Dexter's going after he leaves the clubhouse if he's going anywhere," Hamtaro remarked. "I sure hope he goes home tonight." "Me, too," Oxnard agreed.
Hamtaro and Oxnard got out of the tunnel. "See ya, Oxy," Hamtaro said as he walked to the drainpipe. He went up it and got back in his carrier. A few minutes later, Laura came in the room. "Hiya, Hamtaro," she said as she took him out of his carrier. "Heke?" he questioned as she took him downstairs. "Let's watch TV together, Hamtaro," Laura told Hamtaro. "I never get to see you sometimes." "Heke!" Hamtaro said loudly.
At the clubhouse...
Boss watched TV as Jingle played tunes on his guitar. "You know," Jingle said, "I need to build me a place where I can go to sleep at night instead of intruding you all the time." "Sometimes I just wished you stayed all the time instead of going to that music club," Boss muttered. "Like three weeks?" Jingle joked. "Heh, heh, very funny," he retorted.
Mike grinned his toothy, eternal grin and responded, "Why, yes, I do." "So, can you tell me what it is?" Dexter inquired. "Tell me what you said it was," he replied. "I said it was a surprise," Dexter told Mike. "Then it's a surprise," Mike answered.
