*Chapter 1: All Set*
It was a beautiful, sunny autumn day. Hamtaro was already awake, since he could not stop thinking of what happened last night.
~~
*FLASHBACK*
"HAAAMTAAROOO- HAAAAAAAAAMMTAAAROOOOOO!" came a sound.
Hamtaro sprung to his feet, and got out of his hamster house, frightened by the sound. "Wh-Who's there?"
"HAAAMTAAAROOO-- PLEEAASE HEEELP- HERRR-"
"Help-- who? What's your name?" he asked curiously.
"HAAAMTAAAROOO- THERE'S NOO TIIME FOOOR THAAAAAT-SAVE- BIJOU-"
"Bijou? What happened to her? Did someone steal all her seeds? Did she fall into a hole? What? What?"
A long pause.
"--DOON'T YOU GET IT??!! SHE'S BEEEEEN KIDNAAAPPED!"
"Kidnapped? -No way! Her owner Maria takes care of her all the time! You're making this up!" Hamtaro says, and starts laghing sarcastically.
"-HAAAMTAAAROO-- I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP!!! WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD I COME ALL THE WAY HERE JUST TO TELL YOU A MADE UP STORY?" says the voice.
"Then- It's true? Bijou's been kidnapped???!!! Oh no! What will the ham- hams do without her?! Who did this?? I have to know!"
"CAAALM DOWN-- THERE IS NO NEED TO WORRRRRY. BIJOU WAS KDNAAPED BY---- LADY- SPARKLE---"
"Really!? Sparkle???" Hamtaro falls into deep Anime laughter. He finally settles down. "Now why would she do anything like that?"
"--CAN'T YOU FIGURE OUT ANNYTHING?? LADY SPARKLE IS JEALOUS! OF BIJOU'S BEAUTY!" says the voice impatiently. "YOU---- THE WIIIISE AND BRAVE HAMTARO- SHALL SAVE HER--"
"Me??? Okay- But I should tell the ham-hams. Maybe they can help."
"NOOOOO!!!!" Hamtaro freaks out at the voice. "YOU MUST NOT TELL THEM. THEY WILL GET IN THE WAY!!!"
"Ohh- In that case, I guess I'll just do it solo. By the way, where am I going?"
"TO THE LAND OF THE NEKO (means cat in Japanese), WHICH IS NOW LADY SPARKLE'S LAIR. THAT IS WHERE BIJOU IS-"
"WHAAAAT??? How did Sparkle get past all the cats?"
"BECAUSE OF HER INTELLIGENCE IS HOW LADY SPARKLE MANAGED TO GET PASS ALL THOSE. FELINES--"
"Woah. She must have been really smart."
"-WILL YOU, SIR HAMTARO, TAKE THE CHALLENGE OF SAVING BIJOU FROM THE MENACING LADY SPARKLE?"
"Of course I will!"
"THEN I WILLLL BE HERE TOMORROW EVENING TO PICK YOU UP-"
"Okay-"
"NOW, YOU MUST REST FOR THE UPCOMING EVENT- FAREWELL--" The voice was gone.
*END OF FLASHBACK*
~~
'I don't believe this is happening. Bijou just recently got kidnapped by Sparkle, and I'm supposed to save her! ---How am I suppose to do that?' Hamtaro thought and began to walk around his cage. 'I wish the ham-hams could help me-but that voice told me I couldn't tell them. Who was that anyway? Is he telling the truth? Is he some---' Hamtaro got cut off by the wake of Laura.
"Good morning Hamtaro!" Says Laura as comes closer to Hamtaro's cage. "Guess what?"
'What Laura?'
"After school I'm having volleyball practice--- and I can't wait! We're practicing for our game next month. Our team is going to be the best!" Then Laura went downstairs to eat breakfast and later came back to get her school stuff ready. "See ya Hamtaro!" She said, as she closed the door.
'Bye Laura! In the meantime-I think I'll check on Bijou's to see if she really was kidnapped.' Hamtaro went through his usual secret way to get out of the house. As soon as he was out, he rushed to the scene. When he go to Bijou's, he went up the big tree and jumped off a branch to get to Bijou's cage.
~~
He first circled the cage to see if Bijou was in it. No Bijou--- Then he went inside. No Bijou--- All of a sudden he heard a crying sound. "Who could be crying?" Hamtaro raced out of the room to find out who it was. The crying was coming from---Maria's room! Hamtaro quickly dashed in.
~~
Hamtaro spotted Maria, Maria's mother, and Maria's music teacher. Maria was the one who was crying.
"Don't worry, dear." Says Maria's mom. "I'm sure we'll find her."
"How do you know? What if she'll never come back?" Says Maria, anxiously.
"We'll find her by dinner time. I'm sure of it." Says Maria's mother. "Now we still have to get ready for you to go to school." They all left.
'So it's true! Sparkle really DID kidnap Bijou!' After that, Hamtaro rushed to the clubhouse. He would not mention of the night before, but maybe some ham-hams could know some information.
~~
"HAMTARO!" Says Boss, as Hamtaro comes in from the clubhouse door. Hamtaro freaks out at the loud, growling hamster. "WHERE WERE YOU?!" Steam was coming out of his ears.
"Calm down, Boss." Says Pashmina. "Hamtaro, remember how you were suppose to help Boss with the food storage for this winter?" She reminded him.
"---Oh yeah! I almost forgot! Today's the day I was suppose to help Boss! I can't believe I forgot!" Hamtaro starts to sarcastically laugh. But Boss starts to steam up.
"AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, THERE'S GOING TO A STORM COMING TOMORROW, AND WHO KNOW'S HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO LAST!!??" yelled Boss as he gets closer and closer to Hamtaro's face.
"Uhh-Uhhh-Boss, calm down. I forgot. I had to---- do something this morning. Anyway, we still have the rest of the morning and afternoon, remember?" stammered Hamtaro.
"Yeah, Boss! You didn't have to yell at him for that!" Says Howdy.
"Yeah!" Says Dexter and Cappy in unison.
Boss began to back off. "Yeah--- well sorry Hamtaro. Didn't mean to go crazy on you."
Hamtaro sighs in relief. "Well how about starting the food storage right now?"
"YEAH!" agreed most of the ham-hams.
"But--- What about---" Says Sandy.
"What about what?" Says Boss.
"What about Bijou? She said she didn't have any plans today. She should be here by now."
"Ookwee?" Says Penelope worriedly.
Boss starts to turn hard. Very hard. (As in, turning into a stone? Maybe!)
"Oh no! Boss! You no longer 'rock' my world anymore. Get it? You don't 'rock' my world?" Howdy starts laughing at his own joke. Other ham-hams sweatdrop, even Boss-who gets out of rock mode. "-none of you can appreciate my jokes."
"Well maybe Bijou had something important to do at home." Says Pashmina, getting back to the topic.
"Ookwee!"
"What could be more important than collecting nuts and seeds for the winter with me and the other ham-hams?" muttered Boss gloomily.
"Shoudn't we start the collecting now? I'm getting really bored!" Says Panda.
~~
'And for the rest of the day, everyone began searching for food. Boss was still glum on the fact that Bijou wasn't there to help. But I'm sure he'll get over it. Oxnard couldn't keep himself from eating some of the goodies, so I had to carry the sack just in case.'
'It was already sunset. The ham-hams had already collected 9 sacks of food! If it didn't rain tomorrow, we could probably collect even more!'
"See ya Hamtaro!"
"Bye Oxnard!"
~~
Hamtaro raced up his usual secret getaway and went back to his cage. He began to groom himself from all the dirt and dust on his coat. He wouldn't want Laura to see his coat all dirty. After, Hamtaro quickly reviewed the day. But there was something he was forgetting--- But he didn't remember what. 'Let's see-Laura has volleyball practice today, so she's not back yet. It's probably going to rain tomorrow, so I probably won't be out helping the ham-hams. None of those are it! What did I forget?' Hamtaro pondered. All of a sudden it hit his head. "Oh yeah! Bijou! I almost forgot about her! I'm supposed to save her from Sparkle and rescue her! How could I forget!" Hamtaro starts laughing to hiself. 'But can I go to that Land-Of- Neko-Neko without letting Laura see that I'm gone? And my fur's gonna get wet from all that rain! Oh no!' Hamtaro raced his mind to think of a plan. "I wonder how far it takes to get to the land of the Neko Neko?"
"I CAN ANSWER THAT FOR YOU." boomed a familiar voice.
"Wha!" Hamtaro was startled by the loud sound. It was 'the voice' again. "It's you again!"
"YES--- IT IS I. THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS QUITE SIMPLE. IT WILL NOT TAKE YOU LONG TO GET TOO NEKO NEKO, EVEN THOUGH IT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GLOBE."
"What??" Hamtaro was surprised at the voice's statement.
"YES. THAT IS WHY I SHALL TAKE YOU MYSELF."
"How? Are you some super hero that can fly or something?"
"OF COURSE NOT! I HAVE VERY EXTENDED POWERS, AND ONE OF THEM CAN LET YOU TRAVEL QUICKLY."
"Well if your so great--- why won't you tell me your name??"
"I WILL TELL YOU MY NAME."
A long pause. Hamtaro could hardly stand still.
"MY NAME IS SIR SATOSHI, OF THE EAST SEA KINGDOM. THAT IS ALL I CAN TELL YOU-FOR NOW."
"Well, okay. But how long will it take me to--- get to the place Bijou's in?"
"IT WILL TAKE THE WHOLE NIGHT. IF YOU FAIL, YOU WILL HAVE 2 MORE CHANCES TO GO BACK AGAIN. IF YOU STIL DO NOT SUCCEED AFTER THE 3 NIGHTS GIVEN, YOU WILL FORGET ALL ABOUT THIS AND SOMEONE ELSE WILL BE CHOSEN TO SAVE BIJOU."
"I see." Was all he could say.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS?"
"Nope."
"THEN I SHALL SEE YOU TONIGHT. BE PREPARED." Then the voice was gone.

//CF//
Phew! Chappy one's done. It was weird though--- I don't know why I put Laura and her volleyball thing. It really won't have anything to do with the plot. I also was not sure why I put the ham-hams storing for winter. Another thing, this fic might have fewer chapters than I thought, and it might be done in February. Finally, if you think you might know what Sir Satoshi's story is, tell me. Let's see if you're right. And also, did anyone actually laugh at Howdy's joke? I just made that up. For the part where Boss was mad at Hamtaro, I was going to do a little something deticated to that one Hamtaro episode- 'Breaking Promises', I think. Also, for 'Sir Satoshi', I will no longer put his talking in capitals, cause he's always talking loud. If you see me putting capitals for his talking, he is talking VERY loud.
Oh yes! And letters to reviewers:
To Kera:
I KNOW who Yosei is. But the voice wasn't Yosei. That was revealed in this chapter. Try again!
To Charm-Star:
Yes, it was the same as the last one.
To Hamtaro_Is_Cool: We'll find out soon enough-
To G-unit 3:
I don't update for people who tell me to. I do it whenever I want. You're not the boss of me.
To HamHamFan:
I appreciate that.
~That's all for now! PLEASE REVIEW THIS CHAPTER, EVEN IF ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY IS, "This was a good chapter" (Or something like that!), STILL REVIEW!
