At the clubhouse...

"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear- " Stan chanted, but Sandy nudged him and shouted, "The birthday boy's not even here, Stan! There's something wrong!" "I know, Sandy, but when Boss is here, I'll be the best singer because I practiced," he retorted. "The girls like good singers." "Oh, Stan...," Sandy remarked.
Caitlin paced around the table and thought, I wonder what's holding Boss and Dexter up. Maxwell said no more than thirty minutes past the party time, but it's an hour!
Howdy sat at the table in thought. "Ham-Hams," he muttered. "What, Howdy?" Hamtaro questioned. "I know who's holding them up," Howdy acknowledged. "I know what Dexter's doing, but he doesn't mean it." "What, Howdy?" Pashmina inquired.
Howdy replied, "I've been a'watchin' my dear best friend, and it seems he's going somewhere after he leaves. See, when he ran out on Pashmina's birthday, he ran into-" "Who, Howdy?" the Ham-Hams queried in unison. "I was about to say who!" Howdy scolded.
Howdy continued, "Dexter ran into Mike and told him everything." The Ham-Hams gasped, and Caitlin shouted, "But I wanna know where my boyfriend is!" "That's where I'm gettin' to," Howdy answered. "Well, he stole that model that Boss showed us awhile back and gave it to Mike since he asked for it. He tricked Dexter and made him think that Pashmina would fall in love with him if Dexter did what Mike said. Dexter was told to take Boss to a certain point in the park. He thought that he'd have a birthday gift for the guy because Mike said so. But actually, it was an assault."
Hamtaro looked at Howdy and muttered, "We've got to do something!" "Well," Howdy mumbled, "I found this out because I was spyin' on Dexter, but I'm not sure what they're gonna do to him or Boss. I just found this out because I heard Stella telling the Bad Hams three days earlier next to the river." "But you haven't answered my question!" Caitlin wailed.
Howdy thought a minute and mumbled, "I actually don't know." The Ham- Hams looked at each other in dread. "Then...?" Oxnard questioned. "Then what?" the Ham-Hams shouted. "Then, you mean, Howdy, he could be in trouble, along with Dexter?" Oxnard inquired.
Hamtaro got up from the table and raced out the door. "Wait, Hamtaro!" Caitlin shouted as she ran out behind him. "We've gotta help them, Ham-Hams!" Howdy yelled. "Yeah!" the Ham-Hams replied in perfect harmony as they chased after Hamtaro and Caitlin.
The Ham-Hams crossed the river in a single file line. Hamtaro and Howdy were in the front leading the Ham-Hams. "Just one thing," Hamtaro muttered. "How are we going to get inside to them?" "We can go in the back way again," Caitlin said. "They already know we take that way," Howdy remarked.
Pashmina came up to Howdy and said, "I'm sorry. This is all my fault." "Don't blame yourself, Pashmina," Howdy replied as he held her paws. "Oh, Howdy...," she stated dreamily. "Don't go get romantic on us!" Hamtaro hollered.
Howdy and Pashmina snapped out of it and the Ham-Hams continued toward the Bad Hams Place.
