Chapter 1: Link meets the ham hams

"Hey... hey you... are you ok?" "Uh... where am I?" Link slowly awakes to see the face of a hamster staring at him. "Ah!" Link yells then backs away. "Heke?" said a very confused hamster looking at him. "What... what's going on?" asked a confused Link. "I found you lying here unconscious" says the hamster. "Where am I?" Link asks still confused and stunned from the shock of it all. "You're out the front of the ham ham clubhouse... My name's Hamtaro! Who are you? I haven't seen you around before..." "Uh... My names Link... How many hamsters go to this clubhouse?" replies Link. "A whole bunch... why?" asks a confused Hamtaro. "Good! Come on lets go!" says Link while running into the clubhouse. "What? Hey wait up!" says Hamtaro running after him. Link gets to the door and bursts through. "Eh? Well who is this?" asks a Hamster with a yellow hat with a moon picture on it, a shovel and a painful looking cut in his right ear. "Quickly I have to explain the situation!" demands Link as he sits down at the table.

AN HOUR AND 25 MINTUES LATER... "Well that's quite the problem Link... well I guess we should introduce ourselves... I'm Boss... that there over there is Maxwell... *Boss points to a tallish hamster with a book* that's Bijou... *Boss points to a white hamster with two pigtails and a blue ribbon in each one* and that's Oxnard *Boss points to a grey and white spotted hamster holding a sunflower seed*" "Are there more of you?" asks Link. "Oh yes! A whole bunch!" replies Hamtaro. *Two hamsters come through the door arguing* "No way she likes me much better!" yells the grey hamster with glasses. "In your dreams partner!" replies a light brown and cream hamster with a red apron. "That's Howdy and Dexter... they are always arguing over..." *A brown and white hamster with a pink scarf and a baby hamster with a yellow blanket over herself walks in*

"...her" Boss finishes.

"Hi ham hams! Who's your new friend there?" asks the hamster with the pink scarf. "Uh... ok that's Link and Link this is Pashmina and Penelope... Penelope cant talk yet because she's still a baby" says Hamtaro. *Four more hamsters walk in* "There's even more?" asks Link. "Yep! That's Panda there... *Boss points to grey and white hamster with black rings around his eyes* that one there is Sandy *Boss points to a tiger striped girl with a red ribbon tied around her tail* that one next to her is Stan, her twin brother... *Boss points to a hamster that looks just like Sandy except he is a boy and doesn't have a ribbon on his tail* and the last one is Cappy *Boss points to the little hamster with a green cap on*" "Who's the one up there? *Link points to the hamster, who looks similar to Maxwell, sleeping in a sock*" "Oh that is Snoozer! He is almost always asleep" replies Hamtaro. "So why is this guy here?" asks Pashmina. "Well..." starts Link.
ANOTHER HOUR AND 25 MINTUES LATER... "Ok so who is going to help me?" asks Link. Every Hamster in the clubhouse raises their paws in approval. "Don't worry Link! The ham hams will get you back to your human self again!" says Hamtaro. "Ok thanks guys... now that I have all your help I just have to figure out what to do!" says Link.
