"Star, Star, Star!" the voice kept saying. Suddenly Star woke up and saw Maxwell. She was scared of him.
"Get away from me, you freak!" she cried.
"Star it's okay you were having a bad dream." Maxwell said reassuringly.
Star calmed down and looked at her watch. It was eleven o'clock.
"Where is everybody?" asked Star.
"Everyone is looking for you. We've been looking since dinner." Maxwell said.
"Oh." She said. Maxwell and Star walked back to camp and found everyone was there.
"Star, are you okay?" Hamtaro asked. He would have asked about before but he decided not to.
"Yeah I'm fine, I want to go to bed now. Good night." She said as she walked back into her tent. Soon everyone else went to sleep.
The next day everyone got up early for the bus home. Everyone packed their stuff and got on the bus. Star was still pretty sad about yesterday. She thought about that little voice in her head and what it said. Did Maxwell really like her or did he like Sandy? Hamtaro interrupted Star's thoughts.
"Star are you okay?" he asked.
"I told you, Hamtaro, I'm fine." She said.
"Why were you crying yesterday?" he asked.
"You wouldn't understand."
"Why not? You can tell me. I won't tell anyone."
"Hamtaro, I don't want to talk about it"
"Okay then, I'll go back to my seat." Hamtaro walked back to Bijou.
Finally the bus arrived back home. Everyone got off.
"Star, do you want to come to the clubhouse with us?" asked Boss.
"Okay." She said. All the ham-hams went to the clubhouse and went to their rooms to unpack their stuff.
Star looked around the clubhouse. She thought it was amazing. She stayed in the playroom and waited for the others until they came.
"What do you guys want to do?" asked Boss.
"Let's play ham and go seek." Hamtaro suggested. Everyone agreed. Boss was chosen to be it. They limited the hiding to just the playroom so it wouldn't be too hard on Star.
"One, two, three..." Boss counted. All the ham-hams went to hide. Star looked for a place to hide. She couldn't find one. All the spots she thought of were taken.
"Hey Star, over here." Maxwell whispered. Star turned and saw that there was a good spot by him. She quickly ran to it and his. Boss finished counting and started searching. He saw Bijou but didn't say anything. He wanted to find her last. He quickly found Hamtaro, Cappy, Pashmina, and Penelope. Then he found out Stan was playing smart and was following Boss so he wouldn't find him. Boss turned around and found Stan. Then he saw Sandy, Oxnard, and Panda. He went to where Maxwell and Star were hiding and acted like he didn't see them.
"I wonder where Maxwell and Star are." Boss said sarcastically. He threw a pillow at them.
"Okay you found us." Maxwell said as they got up.
Then he found Dexter and Howdy. Then he went overly dramatic and gave up to make Bijou feel good.
"Oh I give up. Bijou is too good a hider and I can't find her. You can come out, Bijou." Boss said.
"I cannot believe you didn't find me." Bijou said as she stepped out from behind a plant.
Then the ham-hams decided to do whatever they wanted to do. Panda and Cappy went to sleep and the rest of them talked in their own groups. All the girls including Star were talking to each other.
"So Star, how do you like the clubhouse so far?" Sandy asked.
"It's great." Star replied.
"Star, I know this isn't any of my beeswax but do you like anyone yet?" Pashmina asked.
"I like everyone." Star said.
"I mean do you 'like' anyone yet." Pashmina said again.
Star blushed but than decided she didn't want to say who so she shook her head.
"What about you guys?" Star asked trying to change the subject.
The other girls blushed except Penelope.
"Well?" Star insisted. Star was the only one who didn't know who each of them liked. No one knew that Pashmina liked someone.
"Hamtaro" Bijou said.
"Maxwell" Sandy said.
"What about you Pashmina?" Star asked.
"I don't like anyone." She said.
"Yes you do. We can see it in your eyes." Sandy said.
"Fine. I... like... uh... I like... Stan." Pashmina said.
"Everyone gasped except Bijou. She remembered the day she walked in on them kissing.
Meanwhile Stan, Maxwell, and Hamtaro were talking about their love life as well.
"Hey Hamtaro, did you finally hook up with Bijou?" Stan asked.
Hamtaro didn't know what to say. "Well I guess you might be able to say that. I think. I mean we're not exactly an official couple." Hamtaro said.
"Are you more than friends?" Stan asked.
Hamtaro was getting a little confused. Why did Stan want to know this stuff? Hamtaro just nodded as an answer to Stan's question.
"What about you, Max? Are you treating my sister with respect?" Stan asked.
"Of course." Maxwell said.
"I'm watching you, Maxwell, always watching." Stan said weirdly and sarcastically. Hamtaro took it literally.
"You watch him when he takes showers?" Hamtaro said.
"HAMTARO! THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!" Stan yelled.
"Sorry." Hamtaro said.
The day went on like this until it got dark. Star was getting ready to leave.
"Bye everyone. I had fun. See you tomorrow." She said.
"Hey Star, do you want to sleep over?" asked Hamtaro.
"Okay." Star said as if she had been waiting for him to offer.
"She can stay in my room. It has an extra bed" Pashmina said.
"Okay." She said.
Then all the ham-hams went to sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a big day for all of them. Tomorrow is going to be the day to change their lives.
