Chapter 2: Going To Be Sold
BRIING!!! Bijou's alarm clock went off at 6:00 in the morning, as usual. Bijou got up and dressed up. Then she went downstairs to start breakfast.
Bijou started to cook a gourmet breakfast. Soon, Pashmina and Penelope came down to help. Pashmina cooked with Bijou, and Penelope set the table.
Soon, Corwella and Sparkle came downstairs and sat at the table. Sparkle, as usual, made a mean comment.
"Hurry up, you slowpokes!" The three girls quickly served the meal. As they ate, the three servants got out a small loaf of bread and shared it amongst themselves.
"This piece is unusually large." Said Bijou. She wasn't complaining, but usually they would get a very small loaf. For some reason, the loaf they had today was big.
"You can thank Boss, the man who owns the flea market. He stopped here personally and left that loaf." Said Corwella. Sparkle looked a bit mad.
"Why don't you just give them a small piece of bread and save that for guests or something." Said Sparkle. Bijou felt like beating her up, but she held it back. Suddenly, Sparkle grinned.
"Did you three losers hear? We're selling her." Said Sparkle as she pointed at Penelope.
"Ookwee?" asked Penelope, shocked.
"WHAT?!" yelled Pashmina.
"Close your mouth!" yelled Corwella.
"You're selling Penelope?" asked Bijou. She could tell that Pashmina was about to cry.
"She has a name?" asked Sparkle.
"Yes, she has a name!" yelled Pashmina. She got up and started to smack Sparkle.
"Ow!!" yelled Sparkle. Corwella got up and slapped Pashmina.
"Go to your room! And don't expect any lunch!" Corwella yelled. Pashmina began to cry.
"Why are you selling Penelope?" Pashmina snapped back at Corwella, disobeying her orders.
"How dare you snap at me! You are not getting dinner either!" Corwella screamed.
"Why are you selling Penelope?" asked Bijou. Sparkle pushed Bijou.
"Why do you even care about a little rag girl, anyway?" she asked. Bijou wanted to smack her, but she knew no good would come of it.
"If you must know, I'm selling her because she is a lazy brat who does not work." Said Corwella.
"That's not true!" yelled Pashmina.
"Ookwee!"
"I thought I ordered you to go to your room." Said Corwella. Pashmina didn't move.
"She said to go to your room!" yelled Sparkle. Pashmina continued not to say anything.
"Fine then. I'll punish you later. Go do your chores." Said Corwella. Penelope didn't want Pashmina to get in trouble so she quickly shoved her outside. Bijou quickly went to do the dishes.
"I can't believe it." Pashmina said like a robot. Penelope hugged Pashmina really hard. They both began to cry. Suddenly, a horse pulled up in front of the two girls.
"Forgive me for asking, but why are you crying?" said a familiar voice. The two looked up.
"Your majesty!" yelled Pashmina. Penelope and her quickly wiped their tears and knelt down before their prince.
"Why were you crying?" the prince asked again. Pashmina looked up.
"Um, we were mourning because my little sister, here, is to be sold away." Pashmina said.
"Ookwee." Penelope said, tears forming in her eyes again.
"May I ask your names?" the prince asked.
"I am Pashmina. This is my sister, Penelope. We are servants of this household." Pashmina said. The prince nodded.
"I am Prince Hamtaro. Please, stand." Prince Hamtaro said. The two quickly stood up. Hamtaro got off his horse.
"May I talk to your masters?" he asked. Pashmina and Penelope quickly went to get Corwella and Sparkle. They ran into the house.
"Corwella, the prince is here. He wishes to see you and your daughter." Pashmina said. Corwella quickly got up.
"Go alert Sparkle. Tell her to dress up. You better tidy up as well." She said quickly. They went to tell Sparkle and then went to get ready themselves. Soon, they were all outside.
"Your majesty!" Corwella said as the four knelt down.
"Please, stand." Prince Hamtaro said. The four quickly stood up.
"I am Corwella, owner of this mansion. This is my daughter, Sparkle." Corwella said. Prince nodded his head as if saying 'nice to meet you'.
"May I ask why you are hear?" Corwella asked. Hamtaro blushed and scratched his head.
"Well, I snuck out of the palace to take a stroll around the kingdom. I found these two girls here and I came to see them." Hamtaro explained. Suddenly, a girl ran up.
"Your majesty! I didn't expect to see you here!" The girl said. She knelt down.
"And who are you?" he asked.
"I am Pepper, neighbor of these people. I have come to visit my friend, Bijou." Pepper said. The prince looked at Corwella.
"Who is this Bijou she speaks of?" he asked.
"Oh, she is another servant of ours, no one important." Corwella said. Pashmina wanted to kick her, but she didn't want to act up in front of the prince.
"But I believe everyone is important, no matter who they are or how they act." Said Hamtaro Corwella nodded.
"Uh, as do I." She lied. Hamtaro nodded.
"Then allow this girl to see her friend. But when you are done, Pepper, I wish to see this Bijou." Hamtaro said. Pepper nodded as she ran inside the house. She ran up to Bijou.
"Bijou!" Pepper yelled. Bijou was surprised to see her friend there.
"Pepper! Stepmother let you in?" asked Bijou.
"You won't believe it! The prince is outside! You must see!" Pepper said.
"Oh my! Let me go get ready. But why did you come here in the first place?" Bijou asked.
"I heard yelling and I wanted to know what was happening." Pepper said. Bijou's smile suddenly faded away.
"Stepmother is selling Penelope." Bijou said, sadly. Pepper's smile faded, too.
"Oh no. That's horrible." Pepper said.
"I know, but I'm going to find a way to stop it." Bijou said. Pepper nodded.
"Good. I'll help you. But first you have to get ready!" Pepper said. Bijou nodded. Bijou went up to change and then they went outside.
"Your majesty! You said you wanted to see me." Bijou said as she knelt down.
"Oh, please stand." The prince said. Bijou stood up. Then out of nowhere, Hamtaro knelt down and kissed Bijou's hand. Bijou couldn't help blushing.
"I'm pleased to meet you, Miss Bijou." Hamtaro said, as he stood back up. Bijou blushed. Sparkle then looked very angry.
