Hamha!! Clover here! Ugh, today wasn't the brightest of days. It has been raining all day and I don't feel very good right now! (I'll be putting down the time I began writing the fic now, FYI!) Also, lots of the words in here are supposed to be in italics, but they seem not to show up on here, so please bear with me! Other than raking leaves with a snow shovel yesterday afternoon and then getting leaves stuffed down my shirt, I'm fine!
Tootles!

I don't like the feeling of not belonging, not one single bit. But, I've felt that I haven't belonged for quite a while, since Master's parents started acting strange. Master left. I escaped his parents to search for him, and of course, Cyan. I miss them all so much. I wish we were all together, happy, as a family. But that wouldn't happen.for now,

Chapter 3- Rain

"Who are you!?" Moki insisted to the hamster she ran into.

The stranger gazed into the sky, seemingly ignoring her. "My, name, changes with the wind." He spoke. Moki cocked her head to one side. "Heke? So your name's Windy? No.. wait, that's not right!" Moki responded. The stranger didn't reply. He simply strummed his red guitar. "Hey, do you know where I can find someone to help me find my friends?"

"Your name?" The stranger asked. Moki blinked. "What's your name?" "It's Moki, please help me!" Moki pleaded. The stranger paused for a moment, thinking possibly?

"I know of a place. A gang, their leader, Ham-N-Eggs I think? He will possibly help you on your quest." The stranger said. Moki perked up. "Oh! Really? Will you? Oh please do! Please! Take me to this.uh.Ham-N-Eggs!" Moki shouted, seeing a ray of hope.

At first Moki began to doubt the stranger knew this Ham-N-Eggs, what kind of name WAS that, anyways? It must be a nickname of some sort..

The stranger finally led Moki to a tiny little hole, with a tunnel inside. "W-w-where we going exactly?" Moki stuttered. The stranger led Moki to a green door. He opened it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For once in the longest time, I felt that I belonged. I was glad the stranger, or whom the Ham-Hams call Jingle, led me to them. It turns out Ham-N-Eggs is just a nickname for a fellow named Hamtaro, but he seemed to not like the nickname. I told them all my problems. They said they'd try and help It made me feel welcome.like when Cyan was with me.

"We'll try and help you." Boss said. "But it may be tough." They were all sitting at the round table, talking. "But we could try! It beats just sitting in the clubhouse all day sipping tea!" Mable, optimistic for an adventure, shouted. Celeste, her older sister, bonked Mable on the head. "Yeah, besides, it's autumn! The most beautiful season of all!" She said. Stan, who was next to Celeste, shook his maracas and said, "Not as beautiful as you!" Celeste blushed.

"Tell us what your friend, Cyan, looks like, it'd really help us!" Panda exclaimed. Moki blushed slightly, thinking of him. "Well, he's um, a hamster." Moki began, face completely red. The Ham-Hams got s sweat drop. "Um, we know that." Pashmina murmured. Sandy leaned over to Moki and whispered, "Oh! I bet you have a crush on him, don't you?" Moki's face got as red as a beet. "Uhhhh." Bijou smiled. "Ignore Sandy, go on." "Well, he's a dark brown color.and he's got gray spots, here and there." Moki said.

Outside, the Ham-Hams talked some more. "Okay, Moki, Penelope, Pashmina, Maxwell, Sandy, Mable, Dexter, and uhhhhh, Bijou, will go with me! And everyone else, with Boss, okay?" Hamtaro said. "Okay!"

It soon began to rain. Rain. Moki despised rain.

"What's going on?" Trent asked his parents. It was raining outside.

"One of the rats have to go!" Trent's Dad shouted, drunk. Trent's face grew pale. "W-w-w-why!?" Trent asked, shocked. "Cause.I dunno, just bring one over, NOW!"

Trent burrowed his eyebrows. "No! I love Cyan and Moki! They're my only friends! You can't take them from me! NO!" Trent's Dad, for no apparent reason, became furious and smacked Trent across the face. He flew across the hall.

"Damn you, boy! Sh-sh-shut up! You have no say in this!"

Trent's bedroom door was wide open and Moki and Cyan, scared half to death, observed the whole thing.

"Cyan, I don't like the looks of this!!" Moki cried, clinging to Cyan's side. Cyan tried to keep a straight face, to comfort Moki. "It's okay.. Everything will be okay." He comforted, with no success. Moki's albino red eyes watered with tears. She clung to Cyan harder, which made him blush slightly.

"What's going on!? Please! Tell me!" Moki insisted. She nervously glanced behind her back, as if expecting the Boogie Man to attack her. Cyan sensed her anxiety and leaned on her slightly. "Don't worry Moki. I'll make sure nothing will happen to you."

A shrill scream came from the hallway. It made the two hams shiver.

Trent's Dad stormed into the room.

"Cyan! He's come! Master's Dad! He's come to take one of us!" Moki exclaimed, now sobbing.

Trent's Dad's arm reached into the cage.

Cyan, in a final attempt to save his and Moki's skins, leapt forward and bit Dad's finger, hard. He let out a loud yelp.

"OW! GOD DAMMIT! YOU BASTARD!" Trent's Dad swore.

It was now pouring rain outside.

Cyan stood his ground, in front of Moki, standing a pose that looked more like a Samurai fighting stance than a hamster defending his friend.

Moki trembled as Trent's Dad finished holding his finger and swearing.

His hand returned into the cage. He was going straight for Cyan.

Cyan stood his ground.

The hand grabbed Cyan. He squeaked slightly. Moki cried. She got up and ran towards the hand, which now was carrying Cyan away from Moki.

"Cyan! Cyan! Cyan!" Moki sobbed, stopping at the foot of the cage.

Cyan struggled to return to hid friend, with no prevail.

"Moki!" Cyan shouted, giving up the fight. Moki stood, tears rolling down her snow-white fur.

"Take care of Master! Don't give up! Moki! I lo-" Too late, he was carried out of the room. Moki never found out what he was trying to say.

She stood in her cage sobbing, her tears like the rain, beating against the window.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Moki shook her head, snapping herself out of the flashback. She had a few tears in her eyes. Mable walked up to Moki and set her paw on her shoulder. "You OK?" She asked. Moki quickly whipped a tear from her eye. "Yeah, I guess. it's just, that the rain, brings back so many. memories." Moki muttered. Mable smiled. "Okay! Well hurry up! It's your friends we're helping you look for you know!" She said, then skipped away. Moki smiled. "Mable is so perky. I wish I was still perky.but I can't.I miss Cyan.and Master..too much.."
