Chapter 7: Space

The black ship was in space, possibly heading for Ham-Ham World or another planet Hale must go to. The cockpit was small, but had 4 seats: 1 near the control panel and 3 behind it. Hale was obviously in the pilot seat while the other 3 (Hamtaro, Bijou, and Boss) were in the seats behind him.

"So, uhh could you tell us exactly where we are going?" Boss soon asked Hale.

"We are going to Ham-Ham Planet. If I'm correct that's where Sheiug and Spat hid my turbo engine pieces. I need those so I can get to Ham-Ham World in time."

Bijou was confused. "Heke? Ham-Ham World and Ham-Ham Planet?!"

"Yes it's weird isn't it? Both of them were accidentally given the same name by the founder of the planets. When he noticed this, he renamed the 2nd one Ham-Ham Planet. That story still baffles some hamsters at my planet today!" Hale chuckled.

"Weird..." the three Ham-Hams said.

A few moments later, Hale saw something ahead that made his heart jump.

"It's Ham-Ham Planet! We're here!"

"Really?!" Hamtaro cheered. All of the three Ham-Hams rushed to the cockpit window and saw it: a large, light-orange planet with some green on it.

"Vy doez zit look like no vone lives zere?" The French Ham-Ham asked.

"It's a very long story, Bijou." Hale believed. "Mabye when we have time, I'll tell you" He then gasped. "I almost forgot! Wait for a moment Ham- Hams! I'll be right back!"

He then turned on the "Autopilot" switch, controlling the ship in a straight direction while Hale left the cockpit area for something. A few seconds later he came back holding three beakers with some green liquid in each of them.

"Ugh. What is that stuff?" Boss asked.

"It's called 'japelona.' Hale answered. "I created this stuff when I was on my way to your planet. This 'stuff'' will give you just about the same powers I have. Mostly everything but my mind-reading powers."

"How does it taste?" Boss said disgusted.

"I tested the taste. It kind of stings you but just drink it all up and you'll be fine."

So all three Ham-Hams grabbed a beaker and sipped the entire substance. Their faces turned green, but they swallowed it anyway.

"Oh man my tongue is burning!" Boss yelled.

"I think I'm going to hurl" Hamtaro said.

"It doezn't bozer me" Bijou replied, surprising the other 2 and chuckling Hale.

"I guess only the fancy ones can handle it." Hale said. He then got back to his seat as Hamtaro and Boss calmed down, giving Bijou a sweatdrop. He put the ship back on 'Manuel Control' and headed for Ham-Ham Planet. When they reached the land, he pulled the 'Brakes' rope and the ship landed smoothly.
