Answering reviews...
Bijou Jewel - This is really my story. Notice in the show that nowhere it says the Ham-Ham's live in Japan. Yes, I know that the show was created and first aired in Japan, but that means nothing. Did you know that in the episode "Pashmina's Present" was originally supposed to be some weird Japanese holiday where people give gifts... or something like that. I don't remember, but I do know that in the Japanese version, it doesn't have anything to do with birthdays. I was just slightly annoyed that someone would give a review with an attitude that just basically told me I was stupid.

CHAPTER FOUR:
"So Hamtaro, how are you doing?" I said, with a definite smile on my face.
"Well Bijou, I'm doing great!" He looked truly happy as well. "Oh Bijou, I'm so glad I have such good friends like you..."
He looked truly happy. This remark obviously made my heart leap even further.
"I can say the same for you, Hamtaro."
"Well, that's great," Hamtaro said sincerely.
Today, I must have been feeling especially determined and ready, because I made my first advance towards Hamtaro.
Summoning all my courage from deep within... from the darkest, and murkiest corners of my body... Somehow... remarkably... I could find enough...
And I suddenly, without knowing it, felt my paw move rather slowly... towards Hamtaro's... then... I grasped it.
Hamtaro must have been surprised, because his eyes suddenly grew wide. Wider than they already were.
All this time, I tried not to look at him in the eyes. But I somehow knew through a sixth sense that Hamtaro was looking at me. So I turned my head... and looked at him in the eye. I did not give him a serious look, but a sort of friendly one.
Hamtaro grasped my hand as well soon after. He smiled. And together, as we held each other's hands, we continued to walk to the clubhouse.
Suddenly my heart was close to explosion. I was ecstatic in my mind. If I was back in my cage, I would be shrieking in happiness. I couldn't wait to tell this all to Stan.
As we entered the clubhouse, I was greeted rather simply. At the sight of me holding Hamtaro's hand, I could easily see the jealously firing up inside of Boss. Stan wasn't there, but my friends Sandy and Pashmina were, and I played with them for the rest of the day.
While we were alone, outside of our clubhouse, they asked me about it, giggling.
"I see you got things good with Hamtaro," Sandy laughed.
I blushed a little, but I quickly stopped myself. "No," I said firmly.
"Whatever..." Pashmina said with a grin on her face.
It was a mistake, but I was sure I could conceal it again.
"No! I don't like him!"
"Then why were you holding his hand?" Pashmina said, all innocence gone from her usual attitude.
I sighed. "We are just friends," I explained. "I don't even have any feelings for him," I lied.
"Yeah, um, suuure..." replied Sandy.
~*~
You might ask at this point, why was I trying to conceal my love for Hamtaro? Maybe because I knew that they would make a big deal out of it... I guess my friends just loved to play matchmaker.
Besides, I could get Hamtaro myself. I was pretty sure of that. I had a lot of self-confidence in myself due to the multiple "sessions" I had with Stan, who had been great all long. He had kept his secrets.
~*~
Stan suddenly appeared in our conversation.
"Oh... you like Hamtaro now?" Stan said rather playfully.
Pashy, Sandy, and I turned to him.
"Well, like, Bijou came into the clubhouse holding hands with Hamtaro..." she giggled.
Stan smiled at me. "Well, that's just great, Bijou," he laughed.
"I don't like him!" I declared again.
"Okay then," Stan left, chuckling to himself.
Pashmina suddenly changed her attitude after he left. It was a little strange.
"Well, its okay, Bijou. We know you don't want him like THAT." Pashmina said in her usual caring and innocent attitude.
"Yeah," Sandy agreed. "We were just like, playing with you."
~*~
That's right. My day seemed perfect. Stan didn't really come to my cage very much anymore, after he could really see that I was doing well. But I knew after that conversation, he had to.
"So, what's up with you and Hamtaro?"
So I explained my sudden need to touch him. And how I found enough courage to hold his hand. Stan congratulated me.
"I don't think you really need to take things so slow, Bijou. I'm pretty sure Hamtaro feels love towards you, also."
"Do you really?"
"Yeah sure. If he reached that maturity level yet." Stan chuckled at his last statement.
"I'm sure he has... I mean, he's only like a month younger than me... And I've been wanting him for a long time now."
I began to babble.
"You know, I doubt you need help anymore. I'm sure you can handle your 'Hamtaro matters' yourself from about now on."
"Well, okay Stan. You really have been a great help... I'm a lot happier than I used to be. You have really brung out the joy inside me."
Stan laughed jokingly. He waved bye, and left.
~*~
Did you hear all that? As you can see, I was having a beautiful day. Everything was going perfectly. I even was able to hold Hamtaro's hand.
However, in my mind, I had a terrible feeling... that this was too good to be true.
