I'm back! Sorry for the slow updates. I don't own Hamtaro. Only Wally.
A hum of voices greeted the two hams as they burst through the door without so much as a knock. The room fell immediately silent.
"Maxwell!" Hamtaro cried, open-mouthed in amazement.
Boss was red-faced with anger. "I thought I banned you for good, scum."
Maxwell winced involuntarily. Suddenly, this wasn't such a good idea. Boss grunted and started toward Maxwell, cracking his knuckles menacingly.
"Boss, control yourself!" Bijou cried desperately, fearing for Maxwell. Boss blushed uncontrollably.
"Uh-uh... um...erm..." He stuttered.
"What are you doing here, Maxwell?" Dexter spoke in a low voice that Maxwell had never heard him use before.
Since Maxwell couldn't seem to find his voice, Wally stepped through the door for the first time. A gasp escaped the hamsters in the room. "Um, I'm Wally. And Maxwell told me about what happened. We are here to clear one thing up: Maxwell did not and will not, ever harm Sandy. We have figured out exactly what happened Thursday, and I think Maxwell has the right to explain himself. Agreed?" The hams reluctantly nodded. When Maxwell didn't take the hint, Wally elbowed him. Maxwell shot him a look, then cleared his throat when he felt tears threatening to break free of his strangle-hold.
"Well, you all know what Sandy saw on Thursday. I'm sure you all believe her, and she's not lying. This was just one HUGE misunderstanding.
"My 'twin,' Wally, we met in the city. I'm not sure where. But I began to get a hunch when he said he had a girlfriend." Maxwell looked around at all the hams to see if they were catching on. To his surprise, he saw a look of hope and understanding beginning to spread across the orange hamster's face. 'Probably because he's the only one willing to believe it,' Maxwell thought sadly. Clearing his throat once more, Maxwell continued.
"Then I hardly dared to believe it when Wally said he and his girlfriend had met at Acorn Hill on Thursday morning, the same time Sandy supposedly saw ME with another girl," Maxwell explained with a twinkle in his eye as he glanced over at Sandy. Her arms were still crossed, but she was staring open-mouthed in shock. "And I knew for sure that Sandy had seen Wally when he said he had seen a pretty girl with stripes spying on them in the bushes. So in conclusion, guys, Sandy saw Wally and his girlfriend and mistook them for me and another girl." Maxwell concluded firmly. He gazed out at his gaping audience. "So... Do you guys forgive me for doing... nothing?" He nervously waited for their reaction.
Suddenly, the whole room was filled with a chorus of "sorry"s and "please forgive us!"
Maxwell was now grinning like an idiot, but he didn't care. He had his friends back. But he had one more mission, and this one would be the hardest.
As Maxwell made his way over to Sandy, who was still in shock, Hamtaro and Bijou approached him, both hugging him tightly.
"I am so very sorry for even considering the idea of you hurting Sandy. And now I feel ashamed," Bijou said, dropping her head dejectedly. Hamtaro patted her back sympathetically.
"It's not your fault, Bijou. We all thought it. Don't cry, please," Hamtaro begged, looking at her worriedly.
"Bijou, you shouldn't blame yourself. I forgive you completely. It was just a misunderstanding, like I said," Maxwell reassured her.
Bijou looked up at Maxwell. "Thank you Maxwell, Hamtaro. You are both so kind." Bijou said, looking over at Hamtaro fondly. He flushed lightly.
"No problem..." He said nervously. Maxwell smiled to himself as he walked over to Sandy. They were definitely going to end up together, Maxwell was sure of it. They were just too young. Maybe... His thoughts were cut off when he stood in front of Sandy. She was absolutely beautiful despite her puffy red eyes and tear-stained fur. It was amazing how she could still take his breath away.
Maxwell spoke first. "Sandy I'm-"
Sandy cut off. "No, Maxwell. Don't say you're sorry. That's my line. Don't steal it." At first he was taken aback. But when he looked up, she was grinning mischievously. Maxwell grinned back. He couldn't help it. Her smiles were contagious.
"Wouldn't dream of it. But really, Sandy, I missed you... allot. They say you don't know how much you love something until it's gone. That's true. Don't leave me again, Sandy. Please..." Maxwell trailed off, gazing into her dancing aqua eyes. They were always dancing, he noticed. Even when she was sad or angry, they still stayed alive like a stubborn torch that refused to be put out. That was Sandy, and he would always remember her that way.
This time, she spoke softly. "The next time I leave you will be when I leave this world. Even then, you won't ever be alone because you'll always have my memories. I love you too much to ever let that happen again. As untrue as this sounds, I trust you, Maxy. I was just...afraid. Everyone has fears, and mine is the fear of knowing that you'll leave me someday. I just didn't want that someday to be so soon. I love you, Maxwell. And I'll never leave you again. Promise." She smiled through her tears and held out her paw.
Grinning, Maxwell replied, "Pinky swear." He brought his little finger to hers. He moved his hand over Sandy's gently caressing her fingers. Maxwell brought his head to hers and, leaning down slightly, kissed her softly. Sandy leaned in, enjoying the moment. She loved the way he kissed her. He was always so gentle a respectful with her, and never did anything she wasn't ready for.
Maxwell pulled his head back, grinning. "We'd better find somewhere else to go if we're gonna do that again," Maxwell said, motioning to the hamsters milling around and chatting amongst themselves.
Sandy smiled slyly at her brother as Maxwell lead her out the door. Stan winked and sighed in mock dejection. His luck with girls rationed to about none.
They walked to Acorn Hill, their paws connecting one to the other. They saw Hamtaro and Bijou sitting on a rock huddled close together. Hamtaro was giving Bijou half of his sunflower seed. She took it smiling. They schmubby-wubbied fondly.
Sandy giggled. Maxwell grinned over at her and said, "It's only a matter of time before those two start dating, if Hamtaro ever figures it out."
"Yeah, totally. Just like us, " She replied, smiling up at him.
Giving her a quick kiss on the top of her head, Maxwell replied softly, "Yes, just like us." At that point, Maxwell couldn't remember a time when he had ever been happier.
