Hey again everyone! Okay, I'm finally updating again! I think I only got about four or five reviews for that last chappy, and that's why I waited so long. So please dun forget to R/R! ^^;; Anyways, here goes Chapter 5!
Chapter 5: A Visit from Elder Ham: Thank Goodness.
"Are you alright?" Boss said.
"Where does it hurt?" Hamtaro asked.
Bijou just continued whimpering, still laying in the spot where she had slipped and fallen off the ladder. She had never been through such pain. She thought it was like cats slashing away at her flesh, while fire caught on her bone. It was nearly unbearable. She couldn't even hear herself scream; she was focused on the pain in her leg.
"Hamtaro, we gotta help her!" Boss yelled over the screams. "Go get a blanket!"
"Right!" Hamtaro said. He ran into Boss's room, reflexively slamming the door behind him, and immediately yanking the sheet off of Boss's bed, not even noticing the gift which had been placed upon it. He heard the sound of shattering and slightly panicked, but didn't bother to look back, knowing Bijou's safety came first. Ticky-ticky-ticky-ticky...
"Now what, Boss?" Hamtaro said.
"Spread it out on the ground, then help me carry her and put her on top of it!" Boss yelled, covered in sweat. Boss was just as nervous as Hamtaro was, perhaps even a bit more. He had worked hard on a gorgeous Eiffel Tower made of corn and veggie-o's for Bijou all night the last evening, and had found out that Hamtaro not only liked Bijou, but also planned to confess to her, while non of the ham-hams seemed to care about HIS feelings! And now, Bijou, the love of his life, was injured, and he had no idea how badly.
"Okay, Boss, I'm ready to move her!" Hamtaro said.
"Alright, Hamtaro. On three, we lift her up and set her down on the blanket!"
"Right!"
"One..."
"Two..."
"THREE!"
Boss and Hamtaro lifted Bijou up, quickly scabbering toward the blanket. She whimpered, but when she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Hamtaro. She admired the courageous look on his face, and was overjoyed by the fact that the strength and worry was all for her. She felt as if she were willing to suffer through the pain in her leg forever if it meant being cared for by Hamtaro. She soon snapped out of it, and suddenly looked at Boss. He looked determined also. What did this mean? Bijou then thought about it. As memories ran through her head, she recalled the redness on Boss's face every time she saw him. Did this mean...he liked her? No...of course not.. It couldn't be...could it?
Bijou was placed on the sheet and suddenly lost her train of thought. The pain suddenly came back to her and she felt the tears begin to well up again.
"Alright, Hamtaro, we're carryin' the corners of it and liftin' her over onto the table! Ready?" Boss said.
"Ready when you are, Boss man!" Hamtaro said diligently.
"One..."
Before the countdown was continued, in walked a familiar bearded face. It was, of course, Elder Ham. Hamtaro and Boss immediately turned their heads and looked at him, then at each other, both wondering if the other had invited him.
"Well, what have we here?" Elder Ham said.
"Heke?" Hamtaro pondered.
"Wh-what're you doing here, Elder Ham?" Boss said.
"What in the world is going on here? I came to see what the ham-hams were doing for the holiday season, and on my way I hear terrible, blood-curdling screams!" he answered. Bijou sweatdropped. She didn't think it was THAT terrifying.
"Hey, Boss, maybe he can help!" Hamtaro said, with the return of his usual bright, sunny smile.
"Hey, you're right, Hamtaro!" Boss said, cheering up as well. "Hey, uh, Elder Ham! Could you c'mere for a minute or two?"
"Oh, boy, now they're makin' me walk even more..." he muttered. "What is it?"
"Elder Ham, Bijou's hurt! She fell off a ladder a few minutes ago, and we don't know what's wrong with her!" Hamtaro said.
"Well, I guess I could check her out a little bit..." Elder Ham said, walking towards Bijou. "Alright, sweetheart, where does it hurt?" he asked, softly.
"M-my leg..." Bijou said.
"Alright, let's see here... Does this hurt?" Elder Ham said, gently touching Bijou's left leg.
"Ahh... A little." she said.
"Hmm... Does this hurt?" he said, pressing a bit firmer.
"Ahh! Yes!" she said.
"Hmm... Well, I don't think it's broken." he said.
"Phew..." Boss and Hamtaro sighed.
"Are you sure? It is in a lot of pain..." Bijou said.
"It looks like a sprain, if you ask me." Elder Ham said.
"Are you sure?" Hamtaro said.
"I'm never wrong about these things! Now then, we should bandage her up right away!" Elder Ham said.
"Alright. Let's get going." Boss said.
