Yaaaay! Don't nick, baby. I'm working on pics of Morpheous.... okay, fan vote! Who should win her heart? ;P

________________________________

Morpheous kept on walking outside, her big eyes darting about, looking for trouble. Hamtaro followed closely behind her.

"Okay..." Morpheous said. She put her nose to the ground and started sniffing. "Hif hif, hif hif..." Then with a small grunt she started off in one direction.

Hamtaro followed closely behind, praying and hoping she wouldn't detect him, knowing how angry she'd probably be with him... But he didn't want her to die, and to be safe right now was his only concern. So he kept on following.

But what neither of them saw was the owl sitting in the tree overhead.

She kept on walking, ticky-ticky-ticky, and so did he... and then they both heard the owl's screech as he came barreling down from the tree on wings of hades, screaming towards Hamtaro!

The owl caught Hamtaro, helpless in its claws, and he struggled to be free, when Morpheous jumped onto the owl's back and bit in as hard as she could. With a savage growl, the owl dropped Hamtaro and Morpheous leaped off.

"Let's get out of here!" Hamtaro cried, and running as fast as they could, he led Morpheous to Boss's clubhouse.

Panting for breath, they waited outside the door.

"That was stupid of you to follow me." Morpheous blurted out.

"Oh yeah?" said Hamtaro. "You could've been ate-en up by that nasty old owl!"

They both looked at each other, and both knew what they had to say. "Sorry." came from both throats at once.

"It's okay now." Hamtaro said, hugging her. "Let's get you inside. Boss and everybody will keep you safe and warm."

"But what about going home?" Morpheous asked, a worried look on her face.

Hamtaro facefaulted. "I never thought of that before...." He frowned. "I guess I'll just have to stay here..."
