This Hamtaro fic is by me, but Hamtaro is not mine. Don't steal, I'll hurt you. ____________________________________________________________________________ ______

Bijou ran down the tree outside her home, she had to get to the Ham-ham clubhouse! She couldn't wait for the adventures of the day. Bada bada, Bada bada, bada bada....

When she saw something.

Sitting comfortably in the yard was a heavy-duty box made of silver, or something like it, with holes on all sides except the top that she could see, the holes big enough that she could fit her nose in but not much else. "No," pondered she out loud, shaking her head, "I shall just pass eet up."She started to pass it up... but curiosity got the best of her and she sniffed at one hole and smelled something she knew couldn't be anything else. "Heke? Bonjour? Is zhere a ham-ham in zee box?"

She heard a quiet, muffled reply, ununderstandable, and she knew only one thing: She needed to break whoever was in there out, and fast!

~~~

Dashing as quickly as she could into the clubhouse, she made her announcment seconds from putting her paws in. "I found...." She paused to pant for breath. "I found zhis biiiig box in my yard- and there is a HAM- HAM trapped inside!"

Hamtari, Oxnard, Penelope, Pashmina, and obviously Boss and Snoozer were already there.

Everyone's eyes went wide. "Are you sure?" asked Hamtaro.

"Oui! Oui!" cried Bijou, shaking her head quickly. "Hurry, gorush!"

~~~

They found themselves collected swiftly at the box in Bijou's yard, all staring in amazement. "Who could the box belong to?" Pashmina asked to nobody in particular.

"It doesn't matter, that ham-ham needs help!" Hamtaro insisted.

"We can't chew through the box," Oxnard observed, sniffing at it. Hif-hif.

"Then what do we do?" asked Boss.

Just then, Panda walked by. "Hamha, guys!" he cried, waving to them.

"Hello!" Pashmina cried. "Come help us open this box!"

Panda walked over and sniffed at a hole. "Is there a..."

"Eet's a long story," Bijou said. "Just help!"

Panda looked at the tools he had and procured a screwdriver, and he started at the screws of the box.

They all held their breath, waiting for something to happens, and with a hard push, Panda finally pried the box open. The ham-hams gathered at the mouth and peered in, a squinting in the darkness inside.

A very sick-looking hamster lay inside it, dehydrated and barely breathing. It was a girl, and her fur was mainly black, except a patch of white by the eyes, and a shocking purple thunderbolt down her right side. She lifted her head, peered at them, and said one simple, hushed, enigmatic message: "You can't cheat your day of reckning."

With that she passed out.
