"Your..mother?" Bijou asked, exchanging glances with Hamtaro.

"Yes! There was a fire in my villiage and I-" She was soon

interrupted by Oxnard's low voice.

"Fire? Hey! You must have lived in Hamster Villiage..didn't you?"

"Ham Villiage," Boss corrected, "Is that what I've been hearing

about?"

"Yeah.." Mia sniffed. "These are her ribbons..the only keepsake

I have of her.." She untied one, and held it in her paw. "I

miss her..I miss her so much, she was such a big impact on

my life.." She buried her tan face in the velvet ribbon and

sobbed.

"Aww, don't cry, Mia!" Hamtaro rushed to her side. "She might

have survived! I'm sure! If she's as brave as you were in that

fire, I'm positive that she's still out there!" He helped her up.

"Thank you...thank you Hamtaro." Mia forced a smile.

Stan frowned,and whispered to his twin sister, "Aw man, Hamtaro's

flirtin' on the girl before I even had a chance! and she-"

"STAN!" Sandy whispered, hoarsely.

Stan glared at his sister, and ran up to Mia. "Mia, don't you

cry, ham babe! We can go out and search for your mother, if you

want! All ya gotta do is stick with me, and you'll be protected,

through and through!" Stan winked.

"Stan.." Sandy sweatdropped.

Mia smiled,though a tear still trickled down her face. Tears

of joy. Tears of happiness. Tears of hope, that she would

find her mother. "really, Stan?" Mia's eyes glittered.

"Yes, Mia." The striped tiger ham picked up her scarf, in which

Bijou had removed from her earlier. He gave it to her. "Thank

you.." The tan ham quickly jumped up and hugged him.

"I never knew you were so smooth amongst the ladies, cowboy."

Howdy snickered.

"Uh, of course! I mean..well, yeah! Of course im smooth!"

Everyone, except for Stan and Mia, fell down, anime style.
