Insaney: Hurm, this one's kind of..weird.

Note: I am a big Boss/Bijou fan. Whoo!

An Outdoor Picnic

Bijou was clinging to Boss as he walked through the tunnels, as well as kissing him, hugging him, holding his paw, giggling at him, tickling him, shmubbi-wubbiing with him, anything to get on Hamtaro's nerves and make him feel stupid.

Which she was failing at, as Hamtaro was telling me about how brave he was, and boasting about several things.

"And the cat sprang up--No, there were five cats, and they sprang up and.." Hamtaro said, flailing his paws around.

"Five.....cats?" I pondered. "Yes, uh-uh, really? Wow. Oh my! Uh-huh. Oh? Yes, of course. Mmhmm, yeah, continue."

Hamtaro rambled on and on, telling fibs about his deeds.

Stan skateboarded up and grinned at me. I blushed furiously. "Yo, Moonlight. How ya doing?"

"F..fine..S..Stan, th-thank you. Y-you?" I answered.

"Same here." Stan smiled and grabbed my paw, which felt like Heaven.

"Why are you here?" Hamtaro asked defensively. He grabbed my other paw.

"Oh, right." Stan turned around and watched the rest of the ham-hams running up. "They wanted to have a picnic, and I wanted to know how many ham-hams come to this spot."

"Oh yes, it's amazing how many there are." Boss said, as Bijou rubbed her cheek on his shoulder.

"Hey, Bijou baby." Stan's eyes looked odd, as if he was thinking about something important. "Imagine all the girls there..." He skateboarded ahead, then turned back to face us. "Almost forgot something." He again rode back.

He grabbed my paw and swung me onto the skateboard. It wasn't all that comfortable, but with Stan there, it was great. "You'd wanna come with me, right?"

I looked to Hamtaro. Hamtaro looked cross. "Is it alright with you?" I asked, a dreamy look in my eyes.

"Sure, Moonlight. Have fun." Hamtaro said with an annoyed look over his face.

Stan got the skateboard to move again, and zoomed ahead of the group. We were sailing pretty quickly--Just the two of us! I was in love with Stan, and it was obvious.

HowwonderfulandamazingandgreatandIlovehimandohmyohmyIfeelsolucky--SHARP TURN OHMY--! ANOTHER SHARP TURN!

"Eew! Moonlight! Sick! All over me and my skateboard! Gross!" Stan was covered in my vomit. "Now I have to go back to the clubhouse and take an hour-long bath!"

"I'm sorry.." I said, as he skated away. I heard the sound of Howdy and Dexters' laughs as apparently Stan went by.

Hamtaro ran up. "Moonlight! Are you okay?" he grabbed my paw and examined it. "He pushed you off the skateboard!"

"It doesn't hurt, really." I answered.

"No, I'm sure it hurts. A lot. We'd better go back to the clubhouse." Hamtaro said, helping me up.

"Hamtaro, please..I really want to go to this picnic."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am sure."

"Well, okay... I geuss...."

The rest of the ham-hams caught up.

"Moonlight, are you alright?" asked all the ham-hams--except Bijou.

"Yes, I'm fine." I answered to everyone.

Boss pointed a finger/whatever, "Well, the place I thought we could have our picnic is right up there."

"Well, let's get up there, then.." I muttered, crushed that I had ruined my chance with Stan.

A small, ham-sized sign read, 'Flower Park' (Creative name, eh? xD) . The area was covered in bright green grass. A small tree sat in the middle of it, clumps of buttercups here and there about the place. Four huge sunflowers stood up, their petals glistening in the noon sun. Piles of seeds of different kinds were scattered all over the place.

"Mmm! Can't wait to get fat here!" Howdy patted his stomache.

"That won't be long.." mumbled Dexter.

"What kind do you like the most?" Hamtaro asked, grabbing my wrist.

"Urm, I don't know. They all look very good!" Moonlight answered. "Please, you pick everything."

"What an opinionated lass! Har har!" Howdy ran around, laughing and har-har-ing. "I don't know WHY you like 'er!"

"That's just pathetic." Dexter grabbed Howdy's ear and dragged him over to the pile of sunflower seeds. "We'll play hide-and-go-seek. You seek first."

"OKAY!" Howdy covered his eyes. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6..."

Dexter walked over to the acorn pile and grabbed the largest one out. He ran over to Pashmina and offered it to her. "So, who exactly do you want to be a pair with for this picnic?"

"26, 27, 28, 29, 30! Ready o' not, here I coo-- Are you tryin' to get Pashmina?!"

"Um, yeah. You're really gullible, you know."

"IF YOU KEEP USING THOSE BIG WORDS I'M GOING TO SLICE YA!"

"As you can plainly see, my vocabulary is more refined than his."

"Umm, I really hate to say it, but I don't really like either of you two," Pashmina said, rubbing her neck.

"YOU LIKE STAN!?" Dexter and Howdy dropped their mouths in shock.

"No, I don't... But, I do like someone." Pashmina stepped back, not wanting to get in a fight.

After stuffing themselves like idiots, the hamsters lay in the shade. Stan had come back, and Sandy forced him to apologize for pushing me off his skateboard.

"Hey, has anyone noticed the sky?" I asked boredly.

"Boss, it's all grey!" Bijou screamed.

"Then we'll go back to the clubhouse." Boss said. "It doesn't look like it's about to rain right now--"

A chuck of hail the size of a cherry fell from the sky. Before anyone knew it, it was hailing hard, and the entire sky was grey.

"Well, we're in the safety of under the tree, so we're just fine." Stan answered. 'And there are still plenty of girls here that need comforting..'

"Just so you guys know, looking at the size of the hail, the speed it's coming down and how flimsy the leaves are above us, we're as safe down here as standing out there." Dexter said loudly.

"Quick! Everyone try to be a ham-barrier as I try to dig a new tunnel for safety!" Boss said. "Hamtaro, Oxnard, Howdy, Panda, you guys help me dig!!"

"So we just stand over them as an attempt to shield them?!" I hollered.

"Yeah, it's all we can do!" Sandy spat back.

Before I knew what was going on, I was standing with the rest of the ham-hams around the five digging. We were standing in a circle, leaning over, with our paws close toeachother the center. He held paws with the ham-ham across from us.

I just happened to holding paws with Stan.

"Hamtaro, I still love you!" Bijou called. "And since I'm not likely to live this, I am telling you now!"

"Hamtaro, I really like, you, too!" Pashmina called as well. "I've been trying to hide it for so long now, it's not even funny!"

"Pashmina, you do?" Hamtaro stopped digging to look up at her. She was crying, along with Bijou, Sandy, Dexter and Maxwell. "I..really like you, too! I was only with Moonlight because her eyes has put me in a trance momentarily!" At that moment a peice of hail fell through a crack in our barrier and hit Hamtaro on the head, knocking him out.

I blinked, without realizing my paws had stopped holding onto Stans'. Because my eyes had put him in a trance? He liked me for my eyes. He liked something about me that wasn't me.. He had fallen head over tail with something artificial... Not me.

Bijou glared at me. "I HATE YOU!"

---

Soon we were back in the clubhouse.

I wondered, what would have happened if I had been hit by the hail? Would I have died? Would I have gone unconsious?

Hamtaro had simply been knocked out, and only forgot the hamchat word for walking.

"Her eyes had put me in a trance momentarily."

Thank ya for reading. I'm sorry to say, the next chapter will be more romantic than action-y.
