(Tsumina: I wrote this story a long time ago, gave up on it, deleted it, and now I'm trying to bring it back. I don't own Hamtaro! Um, okay, this is my first tragedy, so please take it easy on me, but if you must write flamers, I can't stop you. Please note, though, that I'm actually fond of Hamtaro.)
A warm summer night
I look to the sky
No glimmer of light
Clouds pass me by
Precious Laura sleeps
Her breath comes gently
While the crickets' cheeps
Form a night medley
I am Hamtaro
And I'm keeping guard
Until tomorrow
Over house and yard
What is this? I ask
It seems there is now
A point to my task
I wrinkle my brow
A figure so dark
Comes to the front door
Brandy doesn't bark
She's scared, but what for?
He's now broken in
Now creeping up here
With a devilish grin
He's coming so near!
Fair Laura wakes up
Her eyes half open
She slowly gets up
From covers woolen
He pulls out a gun
The trigger goes click!
Laura tries to run.
Oh Laura, be quick!
I'll never forget
That horrible scream
The trigger, he pulled it
Could this be a dream?
Wake? I cannot!
This whole thing is real
The blood pours a lot
She bends to a kneel
"Hamtaro," she rasps
And I strain to see
Why she coughs and gasps
Why she addressed me.
She slumps to the floor
A shudder and choke
Then whispers no more
Is this some sort of joke?
The dark man, face blank,
Takes Laura's jewelry
Robs the piggy bank
Oh, such cruelty!
He leaves without trace
He shall never be found
A covered up face
Who never made a sound
I open the cage wide
It makes not a peep
I rush to her side
Has she fallen asleep?
I paw and I squeak
But to no avail.
My voice is too weak.
My paws are to frail.
"Laura," I whisper
I rub on her chin
I hamster-kiss her
I can't give in!
Hours pass away
I can't wake my girl
Comes the next day,
My mind is a swirl.
Soon, I start to cry
She'll never wake again
That man made her die
Though I didn't know then.
What should I do now?
My world- did it end?
I wonder why and how
That man could take my friend.
A last loving kiss
I sneak like a mouse
Oh, I'll truly miss
This home, this house.
Run to the others
They will help me there
They're like my brothers,
They'll comfort and care.
The rain starts outside
It's but a small rain
I don't try to hide
I'm too much in pain.
The rain's like my tears
Except for one thing
Of rain I've no fears
But I hate my crying.
Boss, of course, is there.
Snoozer napped still
I looked worse for wear
Well, I DID see a kill.
I couldn't quite talk
But they let me stay
I could hardly walk.
I found a place to lay.
I'll tell them tonight
I then confirm
They'll sympathize, right?
Our friendship is firm.
The sun starts its dropping
Snoozer's still asleep
Boss is treat-shopping
And I sit here and weep.
The door opens a tad
It's a dream come true
Whenever I'm sad,
It helps to see Bijou.
A small concerned look
Then she comes near
Her time she took
To brush off my tear
She hugs me so tight
I feel somewhat nice
That after last night
I can feel paradise.
She gives me a kiss
I sigh, a bit worn.
But I won't miss this!
She feels so warm.
Though I see not the eye
That peeps from the door
Jealous Boss and I
Would not be friends anymore.
(Tsumina: The so far follow up- Laura's been shot by a robber and Hamtaro flees to the clubhouse for comfort. Boss is there to receive him and give him alodging. But, while Boss is away, Bijou comes in to comfort him. However, they cuddle a little, not noticing that Boss's jealous eye is watching)
