It was a beautiful morning. A wonderfully beautiful morning. One of those days where the air is so crisp and fresh and the sky seems so pure and endless that you can't help but smile at the wonders of life.

And this is exactly what Dexter was doing on his way to the clubhouse. His meditative silence was broken, however, when he passed below the window of the grocery store and heard a shout from above him. He looked up.

"Hey, Dex!" It was, of course, Howdy. "Wait fer me!"

Howdy jumped down from the window and fell in step with Dexter.

"Good morning," Dexter said pleasantly.

Howdy nodded in reply. "It is that." Howdy was silent for a minute. Then he cleared his throat and said, "Hey Dex."

"Yeah?" Dexter said.

"There's uh.... well, there's something I just hafta get off my chest, and seeing as how yer right there, I might as well tell you."

"What? What is it?" Dexter said, surprised.

"Well, it's like this," Howdy replied. "I...uh...well there's this girl, see..."

"You have a crush on someone?" Dexter said.

Howdy went red. "Yeah."

"Not Pashmina?"

"Nah. I wouldn't try to take her from you."

"Then..." Dexter considered this for a moment. "Is it Bijou? You know Boss will pummel you if he finds out."

"No, it ain't Bijou," Howdy said.

"Hmm." Dexter thought some more. "It's not Sandy, is it? I don't think she'd be with anyone besides Max."

"No, not Sandy," Howdy said.

"Penelope's a little young for you, don'tcha think?"

"Not Penelope!" Howdy said, starting to get annoyed.

"And Auntie Viv is kinda old..."

Howdy held his head in his paws. "No, no, no!"

Dexter continued to think of other female hamsters he knew of. "Oxnard will be pretty upset if he finds out you like Pepper."

"Not Pepper either!" Howdy practically screamed.

Dexter was enjoying this.

"I can't believe you have a crush on Sparkle after the way she treated us."

"NO!!!!!!" Howdy shouted. "Why the heke would I have a crush on Sparkle? It's Hannah, okay? I have a crush on Hannah!!!"

Dexter's eyes widened. Then he started humming and dancing around.

"Are you feeling okay?" Howdy said. "What are you so dern happy about?"

Dexter shrugged. "You and Hannah would make a cute couple, Howdy."

Howdy blushed. "Think so?"

Dexter nodded, then took Howdy by the paws and started twirling him around.

"Someone's in a good mood," Howdy muttered.

"The thing is," Dexter said, talking and twirling Howdy at the same time, "To be perfectly honest, ever since me and Pashmina became a couple, I've been kind of hoping you would find someone else. You know, didn't want you to feel lonely."

Howdy smiled despite himself. "You really mean that?"

Dexter smiled and dipped Howdy.

"And you and Hannah have so much in common. It's like you're meant for each other."

"You don't think it's strange, then?" Howdy asked.

"What do you mean?" Dexter said. He finally stopped dancing.

"Well, ya know, we've been friends for a long time, me and Hannah. Just friends, nothing more. And now suddenly I'm in love with her. That's not weird to you?"

"Not in the least," Dexter said honestly. "It's probably because now that me and Pashmina are together, you've finally realized what deeper feelings you have for Hannah."

"You ever consider getting a job as a therapist? Or psychologist?" Howdy said jokingly.

Dexter chuckled, and then they were on their way to the clubhouse again.

Everyone looked up as the door to the clubhouse opened.

"Howdy, ya'll," Howdy said as he entered. Then his eyes widened in surprise as he recognized a face at the table that he hadn't seen in some time.

"Howdy!" Hannah rose from her seat, ran over and gave him a quick hug. "I can't remember the last time we saw each other!"

Dexter, who had entered the clubhouse right behind Howdy, smiled and said, "I know I do."

Hannah smiled back. Then she gave Dexter a quick hug hello too, and turned back to Howdy.

"My owner's here for a few days on business," she told him. "So I came here. And I thought maybe we could go to the fun park again, like last time?"

"I, uh...umm...I mean...Yeah, that'd be great," Howdy said. It was easy to tell how nervous he was, and Hannah took offense to this.

"You don't seem happy to see me," she said dejectedly.

"Of course I'm happy to see you!" Howdy said quickly. "There's just a lot on my mind, I guess."

Dexter smirked, knowing exactly what Howdy meant by that although Hannah still didn't have a clue.

"Well, let's get going then!" Hannah said happily, running out of the clubhouse and dragging Howdy behind her. "This is gonna be great!"
