No nicking. Mm, no. Sorry that this hasn't been updated in a while-
Yuletide. And I got Ham-Hams Unite for Yule! YAAAY!

"Are you sure it's okay?" Morpheous asked timidly as Hamtaro led her down into the clubhouse.
"Yeah, of course it is!" Hamtaro replied with a smile, sounding as cheery as he could. "Everyone will be happy. Though not very many hams will be here, Only Boss and Snoozer."
"It's okay. I'm used to being alone, except for Sugardrop." Morpheous said with a frown and a sigh.
"Sugardrop?" Hamtaro asked curiously. "Heke, who's that?"
"She was my friend." Morpheous said with a sigh. "We were in the same cage together, but when we got shipped to the new lab, we were put in different boxes, and, well, I fell off the truck and." She stopped and started crying a little. "And I'll never see her again."
Hamtaro frowned and hugged her. "Nopibloo. I'm sure you'll see her again."
Morpheous shook her head. "No. she's gone. She was. a medical research ham, and she was a dwarf ham, not a bear hamster like me. I don't think she could take it much longer.."
Hamtaro frowned. "Oh.."
"It's okay." Morpheous said. "She's better off dead.. then she'll be out of the lab. She wasn't holding on very well to her sanity, I don't think. Then again," She shook her head. "Neither was I. But I'm okay now. I think that the dementia came from that medicine, it was a depression cure.. but it was WAY off." She stretched her arms. "MEGA-Q wrong."
"Hmm.." Hamtaro said, not quite understanding all of what Morpheous said. But at least she was okay. He walked up to the door.
"Please see if it's okay first, okay?" Morpheous said. "I don't wish to intrude. I'll wait out here."
"Okay." said Hamtaro. He opened the door, walked in, then shut it behind himself.
Unlike what he'd said, there were two hams there. Jingle, and Snoozer. Snoozer was asleep. but Jingle was strumming a tune on his guitar, upbeat and wonderful. "Jingle? Where's Boss."
"Sleeping, sleeping." Jingle replied, singing it to his instrumental tune. "Why you wanna see him?" It was odd how he could fit these words to his tune exactly, almost as if they were lyrics.
"Well, I've got Morpheous here." Hamtaro said.
"Morpheous?" Jingle stopped playing when he heard this name. "Morpheous, that's a nice name." He started strumming. "Morpheous."
"Can she come in?" Hamtaro asked. Snooze snored.
"Sure. I'll explain if Boss gets mad." Jingle said, smiling a little.
"Thanks," replied Hamtaro. He opened the door. "Come on in, Morpheous."
Morpheous slowly walked in, bowing her head. "Hello." she said in a hush. "Thank you for your kindness."
Jingle smiled and looked at Morpheous. "It's nothing. Not really my place, though." He strummed his guitar some more. "Don't really have a place."
Hamtaro shut the door. "I'll just. go get some sleep. I'll be using a bed in the other room, okay?"
"Yeah, go ahead." Jingle said. "Hope Boss doesn't get mad I'm lending out his home."
"Of course not, we're his hammo." Hamtaro replied, walking into a room with a bed, and shutting the door.
Jingle smiled at Morpheous. "You shouldn't look sad. Cheer up. I'll sing a song for you, even." She frowned and shook her head no. "No, it's okay. I've been through hard times before. And I'll be through more. But. come on. Just lemmie sing you a song, you'll feel better."
Morpheous frowned. "Oh. Okay." She sat down by Jingle.
He started playing his guitar gently and sang her a happy little love song, about two hamsters who met in a pet store but were tragically separated. He looked at her when done. "How did you like it?"
"It was. great." said Morpheous. "You play well and you sing well.. You're great."
"You can be great, too. Maybe not at singing or music, but something." Jingle replied. He smiled and wiped his paws under her eyes, wiping up the tears; to his surprise, some of the black came off, and she had a small pink curve, and a small purple one under her eyes. "Oh."
She blushed. "I was hiding them with soot. Those are put there by medical manipulation." She frowned. "But the rest is all real, none of the rest is fake."
He smiled a little. "But they're pretty." He smiled broader. "Man, I'll even make a song about you." He started playing a riff and started adding to it, and started singing. "Morpheous, a bold, uncommon beauty, Morpheous, liberated from her harm.."
She listened to him sing through the night, until she was exhausted and just had to sleep.
