The next day...
The Ham-Hams continued to plan Boss's surprise party while he was busy somewhere. Dexter continued to spy on them secretly and hope that Mike had him a gift for Boss. Mike should, Dexter thought. I mean, he's telling me to spy on the Ham-Hams and all, but what will I give him? And what's the Bad Hams gonna do? Oh well, Mike's not going to do anything to me because I'm on his side.
After awhile, Howdy began to be suspicious of Dexter. He's doing something, but I dunno what, he thought when ever he had the chance.
"OK," Maxwell said as he used a stick to point to a chalk board. "Bijou, Pashmina, and Penelope are going to buy the streamers. Stan, you said something about a disco ball, right?" Stan smiled and replied, "Well, I saw one of those Bad Hams with one-" "Stan!" Maxwell scolded. "You are not going to steal a disco ball!" "OK, dude," he retorted.
After Maxwell talked awhile, he muttered, "Dexter, what are you going to do? You don't seem to be on the list..." Dexter grinned a toothy, eternal grin and replied, "It's a surprise. But I've got something I'm going to do for him."
Maxwell nodded. "OK, Dexter. If you insist," he remarked. "Who's going to make the birthday cake?" Hamtaro stood up and said, "I'm pretty good at cooking. I've watched Laura so many times, I've got the recipe for tuna stook in my head! Caitlin and Sandy designed the cake for me, so I'm going to buy ingredients."
Maxwell nodded again and responded, "Very good, Hamtaro. All we got to do is plan who's going to take care of Boss and-" "I will!" Dexter shouted and jumped up. "I will take him to the party!" "You seem to be into this birthday party like you always are, Dexter," Maxwell praised.
Dexter sat back down on his stool at the table. Howdy thought again, There's something he doesn't want anyone to know about. He's doing something for Boss, and it's either good or bad. And I have the feeling it's bad.
Cappy walked over to the clubhouse door and peered outside it. "Boss is coming back!" he warned as Maxwell covered the chalk board and put it back in its place. The rest of the Ham-Hams covered their papers with what their doing for the party.
Boss came back into the clubhouse. "Oh, I didn't think you'd be in here," he muttered as he sat down in his armchair. "So, what's up, Boss?" Caitlin inquired. "I'm gonna be a year older in three days," he replied.
The Ham-Hams nodded. "So," Panda said, "do you know what you want for your birthday?" "A 'No Bad Hams' sign," Boss replied. "I can make one of those," Panda responded. "OK, Panda," he stated.
The Ham-Hams looked at each other. "Let's go outside and gather acorns," Oxnard suggested. "OK, Oxnard," Hamtaro replied, "let's do that!" "Yeah!" the Ham-Hams said in unison.
The Ham-Hams went outside together and began the walk to where the acorns grew. When they got there, the Ham-Hams began collecting acorns and other nuts. Dexter watched at the side as he picked a few acorns and walnuts. I'll give some of these to Mike for helping me with my problem with Howdy and Pashmina, he thought as he picked numerous nuts.
Howdy spied on Dexter from a tree. "He's collecting nuts, but for whom?" he queried. "Ah, why am I being so suspicious of him? Dexter's gonna get over it." After convincing himself Dexter was fine, Howdy climbed down the tree and found Pashmina.
"Hey, Howdy," Pashmina said dreamily. "Wanna collect acorns with me?" Howdy asked as he turned red all over. Pashmina nodded as she turned bright pink. The couple went paw-in-paw as they searched for nuts.
Hamtaro and Bijou watched them. "Aw, how sweet of Howdy and Pashmina," Bijou said as she held Hamtaro's paw. "Yeah, like us," he replied as they searched for nuts.
Boss and Caitlin looked for nuts together, too. "I'm glad my birthday's over with," Caitlin acknowledged. "It was before Pashmina's." "I know, Caitlin," Boss responded as they collected acorns. "And, hey, um, did you take my model of me that I made that I had on my dresser?" "No," she replied. "I've only been in your bedroom twice. That's not somewhere I go."
Boss nodded slowly. "I get it," he murmured. "But I can't make another like it. I think Dexter stole it because he spent the night, but I doubt it. I mean, why would he take it?" "I dunno," Caitlin remarked. "He wouldn't take it unless there was something really wrong with him." "Uh, what...oh, I see," Boss muttered as he and Caitlin continued to look for nuts.
Sandy and Maxwell were talking and looking for acorns, too. "I think Dexter's got something," Sandy stated, "but it's not good for Boss." Maxwell nodded in agreement and answered, "I just think he's upset or something, so he's going to take it out on Boss. But on his birthday, no. And who in the world would take it out on Boss? I mean, he has to be crazy or somthing..."
