Chapter 6: The Secret Rumor Revealed: Truth?
"Oh..." Bijou sighed. She lay in her cage as the light of the sunset shone brightly through the window. Yesterday's flashbacks soared through her head.
~**~
"There now, that should do it!" Elder Ham said.
"Glad that's done!" Hamtaro exclaimed.
"Well, young lady, how does it feel?" Elder Ham asked.
"It feels...contained." Bijou said.
"Now, Bijou, I know it may not be much fun, but you're gonna have to keep that thing on until you're fully healed!" Boss said.
"Oui..." she sighed.
"That's right, Bijou. In fact, maybe you should stay home for the next couple of days." Hamtaro suggested.
"What?! And miss the wonderful Christmas party?" Bijou asked.
"Hamtaro's right. There's not much work left to be done, so we can handle it ourselves. You just stay home." Boss said.
"We'll come and get ya the day of the Christmas party!" Hamtaro said.
"But if anything happens, like if you feel weak or fall on your cast or somethin', you're goin' straight home, okay?" Boss said.
"Oui..." Bijou sighed, pessimistically. She had worked so hard with Boss and Hamtaro in preparing the Christmas party, and now she might have to miss it. She didn't know what to think.
[9:00 P.M. That Night]
Bijou sighed again. In fact, she felt as if she couldn't stop sighing. She felt as if the joy had been robbed from her holiday season. What if her sprain grew worse? What if Hamtaro thought her clumsy? She didn't know what to do or how to feel. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice.
"Psst! Bijou!"
"Heke? Who is there?" she said, with a bit of fear in her voice.
"Like, it's us!"
"Sandy? Pashmina?"
"You got it!" Sandy said as the two of them hopped up to her cage.
"Oh...I am so glad to see you two! How have things been going?" Bijou said, sighing with relief.
"Things have been okay for me." Pashmina said.
"Same here. But, like, I miss everyone so much!" Sandy said.
Bijou giggled.
"Anyway, rumor going around is that you fell and broke your legs today!" Sandy said.
"Heke? Oh...No, I just sprained my ankle." Bijou said, looking down at her cast and frowning again.
Pashmina sweatdropped. "We should have known better than to trust Howdy's wild tales..."
Bijou merely sighed again.
"Whoa, okay, like, what's with you, girlfriend?" Sandy asked.
"Yeah, you don't seem very happy." Pashmina added.
"Well...you girls know about the rumor going around, right?" Bijou asked quietly.
"Uh-huh..."
"Well...I am just afraid that... if I miss the party, I will miss my only opportunity to confess to Hamtaro!" Bijou said, wanting to cry.
Bijou and Pashmina looked at each other, then at Bijou.
"Like, don't cry, Bijou." Sandy said.
"Yeah..." Pashmina said. The two of them looked at each other again. They weren't supposed to tell Boss, Bijou, or Hamtaro about Dexter and Howdy's discovery, but they couldn't stand seeing Bijou like this. Hadn't she gone through enough pain today? She needed SOMETHING to cheer her up. It was then that they both agreed to tell her.
"Bijou..."
She looked up with teary eyes.
"Look, Bijou...The thing is... We found out that..."
"Wh-what is it?" Bijou said.
"Like, don't go talking about this, but..."
Bijou's eyes sparkled and shined, as she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Hamtaro was going to confess to her!
