Chapter Five: The Nightmare
Boss stood there, staring at Bijou. She was falling. Falling farther and farther. Boss couldn't do anything to help.
"Boss. somebody. anybody!" Bijou called.
Boss watched as Bijou pummeled down the cliff. He was panicking. He didn't know what to do. But he had to help. somehow.
"Love is a bliss. But there are many sacrifices. Save her." a mysterious yet familiar voice said.
"Aiee!" Boss yelled as he awoke with a start. "What was I supposed to be doing?" Suddenly he remembered. "Bijou! I'm coming!"
Boss felt so dizzy as he ran. But he had to help Bijou. Boss knew he was going to black out before he could save Bijou.
Nevertheless, Boss dove into the water and searched around for Bijou's body. He looked up and could see Hamtaro's outline, kicking and flailing. Bijou has to be around here somewhere, Boss thought. But she wasn't. He kicked with all his might and remembered that he couldn't swim. No time for no swimming, he thought. I can swim. I know it.
Boss saw a little white body laying on the bottom of the floor. Was he too late? He swam towards the body, which had a bluish tint. He grasped her tiny arm and pulled her to the surface. Boss gasped for breath. It had took him a long time to find Bijou and take her to the top because he didn't know how to swim.
Boss pulled Bijou ashore. Her body was freezing cold. Boss felt her heart. She didn't have a heartbeat. Nonetheless, he Heimliched her stomach and water poured out. Finally, enough water poured out because Bijou stirred. She looked up into Boss's eyes and coughed and sputtered out more water. She then passed out again.
By this time, all of the Ham-Hams had crowded around to see what was happening.
"The sunflower seeds she ate. I think those gave her cramps," Hamtaro said.
"I've got to wake her up!" Boss yelled. He rubbed her wrists together and put a warm towel around her.
Bijou stirred once more and woke up. "Hamtaro? .Hamtaro! Where are you? Hamtaro!" Tears cascaded down her cheeks once more. "Hamtaro! Help me! Help me!"
Hamtaro hopped up to Bijou. Bijou pulled Hamtaro down and hugged him.
Boss's eyes overflowed with tears as he ran up to the condo. Now, more than ever, Boss had a decision to make. He had to run away for life.
