With Hamtaro...

Hamtaro opened his eyes idly. "Wha? Where am I?" he asked in his head. Hamtaro sat up and looked around. It was dark and cold. Then he realized it; he was on top of a snowy mountain in this other world. But Hamtaro saw a fire a little ways from him. And he thought he saw Caitlin beside him. Hamtaro shook his head and looked around. There Caitlin was with her paws colored blue and knocked out cold. There was a dirty blanket on her. The same kind of blanket was on himself. Besides her, there was a figure beside a fire. "Oh! You're awake!" the voice said. It sounded like it was almost unreal. But the voice was a girl's voice.
"Who are you?" Hamtaro stuttered as she came closer. She was a white color with a blue hue to it. "Alaine is the name," she replied. "Lie back down. I'm cooking something for you." "My name's Hamtaro," he said, "and that's Caitlin." "But she came earlier," Alaine said. "How would you know her?" "She's a Ham-Ham," Hamtaro replied. "By the way, did you see anyone last night?" "Well," she mumbled, "I live down the mountain and I was just hiking last night up here. I heard a stirring or two and it scared me. I didn't check what it was. Why'd you want to know?" "Nothing," Hamtaro remarked.
Alaine continued to cook in the earthen pot. Hamtaro walked around in boredom. Caitlin stirred and looked around. "Hamtaro!" she yelled. "I didn't know what it was!" "You stepped into a portal and I came after you," Hamtaro replied. "But who's that?" Caitlin cried out loud. "Alaine!" Alaine said. "I found you first when I was hiking. I live on down the mountain." "I hope I can get back home before Laura gets worried," Hamtaro mumbled. "How do we get home?" "Which planet do you live on?" she asked. "Earth," the two replied. "Whoa!" Alaine yipped in surprise. "That's half way across the universe! No wonder you're so homesick! This is Planet Zinco."
Hamtaro and Caitlin waited while Alaine fished a strange sort of soup out of the earthen pot into two bowls. "Heke?" he and she went as Alaine pulled out two larger-than-normal laddles. "Eat quickly," Alaine told them. "We need to get down the mountain in time for the festival." "What festival?" Hamtaro asked Alaine. "Oh!" she said in surprise. "I'm sorry! I forgot you didn't live here. It's where there's a launching space shuttle to Earth. And they watch it fly-" "Did you say Earth?" Caitlin interrupted. "Why, yes, I-" Alaine paused. "What's wrong, Alaine?" Hamtaro asked. "I don't want you to go!" she cried as they ate. "I want you to stay here on Planet Zinco!" "I'm sorry," Hamtaro said, "we've got to get home. And I'm hoping Boss will be on that space shuttle or we find him before we get on."
Hamtaro finished sipping the soup and laid down the laddle. "I guess we should go way before the space shuttle launches..." Caitlin mumbled when she saw him set down the laddle. Alaine wordlessly emptied the soup out from the bowls and packed it all into her burden. "We're going? Now?" Hamtaro questioned. Alaine beckoned them to come speechless. She didn't want them to go, but she knew they had no choice. They couldn't possibly stay on Planet Zinco forever. But what if they didn't make it in time? Alaine would be happy, but Hamtaro and Caitlin wouldn't. It's for their own good, Alaine thought.

With Howdy, Dexter, and Mike...

"We can make you wish you never existed!" Dexter yelled as Mike roared with laughter. "We just didn't want anyone else to see or we'd get a bad reputation!" Howdy shouted with anger. "Ye can't ever offend Pashmina when we're around!" "You actually think you can earn respect from a criminal mastermind?" Mike laughed. "We're not wanting respect," Dexter yelled. "We want you to leave Pashmina alone!" "How 'bout I just get the Bad Hams and they can deal with you?" Mike questioned. Howdy and Dexter looked at each other and backed up. Mike turned and left the two.
"He got where he wanted!" Howdy told Dexter before they entered the clubhouse. "How?" he asked. Howdy replied, "Ye know! Mike threatened us to get the Bad Hams! I don't think we should play around with that guy!" "Then why did you say to stay there and tell him off?" Dexter asked. "That was your idea!" Howdy condemned. "Was not!" Dexter yelled. "Was so!"

"Was not!"
"So!" Howdy yelled as he opened the clubhouse door. "Not!" Dexter opposed. The Ham-Hams sighed as the two entered the clubhouse and started fighting once again.
