Grand Theft Ham-Ham
By Jesse Shearer

Grand Theft Auto produced by Rockstar Games
Hamtaro distributed by ShoPro
Once again, this story is a crossover between Hamtaro and Grand Theft Auto 3, and will therefore have the Ham-Hams out of character at the very best. Also, there will be instances of violence, suggestive dialog, and/or swearing. If this is not your thing, turn away now. If it *is* your thing, read on.
Segment Five: Hazardous Howdy and Dexter the Drivin'-Ham
"You got any suggestions for starting this thing?" Howdy asked Dexter.
"I think we just lean forward to get going," Dexter said, as he leaned forward a little bit.
"Sounds good," Howdy said. When he leaned forward as well, the toy car began rolling. Once again it was headed for the rock that Sandy and Hamtaro had almost hit.
"Left!" Dexter shouted as both Ham-Hams leaned left to narrowly avoid the rock in front of them.
"I think I'm getting the hang of this," Howdy said.
"Of course you are," Dexter retorted. "Why didn't you see that damned rock, then?"
"Good point," Howdy replied. After a few minutes of clumsy steering, the duo was in the park by the bay.
"Wow, the water's coming up fast," Howdy remarked.
"We'd better stop, then, hadn't we?" Dexter commented as he jammed his feet through the hole beneath them. Howdy did the same a second later, and the vehicle came to a stop just inches from the edge of the embankment above the water. Both Ham-Hams jumped out and hopped around for a few seconds, until their feet were cool again.
"That was a close one," Howdy said.
"I'd say," Dexter agreed, while looking around. "Hey, look, Howdy. Over there!"
"Is that... cat... driving?" asked Howdy when he saw what was going on. A short distance from them was a cat, riding around on the back of a remote control dump truck. As the Ham-Hams watched, the truck made several trips past them without the cat noticing what was there. After the cat had gone by them five times, it noticed.
"I'm gonna getcha," the cat said on its sixth trip past. By the seventh, the Ham-Hams had run for cover and the cat had begun chasing them. The three played an intense game of hide and seek for about fifteen minutes before the cat gave up in frustration.
"I guess we're going to have to walk back now," Dexter said.
"But we lost the car," Howdy said. "You got any bright ideas about what to say?"
"I was going to tell them that we came across a cat that could drive, and that the cat chased us," Dexter explained. "And now that you mention it, I'd better do the talking when we get back."
"Why's that?" Howdy asked.
"Well," Dexter began, "you know what Boss'll think, right?"
"Yep," Howdy said. "I been drinkin' again."
