I'll Remember You

Disclaimer: I don't own Hamtaro.

--Chapter Three--

Sandy stared at her food. 'American…pfft…' she would rather not eat at all, then eat what she'll be eating for the rest of her life. She looked over at the box of Hamster Bites. At the bottom, in bold red, it said: Imported From USA. She hated it. Suddenly the Hamster Bites didn't seem so scrumches. She felt like throwing up all the bites she had taken from those nasty seeds, whatever they were.

The tiger striped hamster looked around. There was no one in sight. She got up and stood in front of her tray of food. What was so great about food that came from a place you hated? When you hate something, it usually means that there's nothing about it that you really like. Food and places were the same. Sandy hated America, so that means she also hated the food.

'I hate this…hate it all. This food's nothing but crap!' With that Sandy took one swing and knocked over the entire tray. At the moment it felt like the best thing to do, so she kicked it. Soon there were Hamster Bites all around the room. 'Good' Sandy thought to herself. "Bite me now," she said to the horrible bits and pieces of hatred that were all over her cage, Hillary's desk, and the floor. "Hmph." Sandy turned around and went to go sit in her little house.

"Sandy, I'm home! I've got a present for you!" Came Hillary's voice from downstairs. Sandy stayed in her house. Guilt had weighed her down and she felt that she had gone to the lowest of low. There was nothing she could do.

"Okay, we all need to be here early next Friday for the trip. Instead of starting off at 9:00 let's all be here by 8:00," Boss announced. "Does that work?"

The hams all murmured and spoke amongst themselves. Dexter raised his arm. "Boss, my owner doesn't begin work until 8:30, can I come then?"

"Well…okay, just make sure you're set and ready to go so you don't waste time packing and getting ready before you leave," Boss told him. Dexter nodded . "Any other questions?" Bijou raised her paw. "Yes Bijou my dar-I mean, yes Bijou?" Boss mentally slapped himself.

"What time do we come back?" she asked in her sweet accented voice. Boss could listen to her all day.

"Well…let's see…hm…about 5, maybe 5:30...ish," He said thinking about how long it would take to go and come back and how much time they'll spend there.

"Oh, okay. Merci," Bijou said thankfully. Boss thought that he'd literally melt.

"Anymore questions?" Everyone shook their heads 'no'. "Okay then, supplies." Boss turned around, "Cappy!" From the door behind Boss came Cappy carrying a board with writing on it. Panda brought out some chalk. "Thank you," Boss said to them as they took their seats. "Alright, we all need to bring our own water. Make sure you get that. Also bring some food with you, just in case you get hungry. Now-" Boss looked at Oxnard who was raising his paw, "Yes Oxnard?"

"What about those Hamster Bites? Are we bringing those?" You could just tell he was dieing to have another one.

"I'm getting there," Boss said. "Now, if we can all go on this trip and have a good time without starting any fights, then we'll all have some Hamster Bites, which are being provided by Sandy."

"Huh?" Sandy looked up at the sound of her name. Up until now she had been very quiet. "Um…Boss, I uh…I don't think I'll be bringing any." Sandy looked down. The other hams gasped. This was the trip of their summer and Sandy had decided not to bring the best part of it?

"Why not?" Boss asked. He sounded a bit upset actually.

"Well…um…they're very expensive…and um…Hillary can't buy me anymore…so um…yeah, no Hamster Bites…sorry," Okay…NOW she sunk to the lowest of low. She lied to her friends. Could things get any worse? No, Sandy didn't believe they could.

"Oh…um, it's okay Sandy, don't worry about it," Boss told her. Obviously, to him, it wasn't okay.

"Yeah guys, come on, it's just Hamster Bites. Sure they're good, but we're going on this trip to have fun, not eat," leave it to Hamtaro to always cheer up the gloomy mood. Yeah he had a point, but the ham hams really wanted more Hamster Bites.

Bijou stood up next to Hamatro, "Hamtaro iz right, we are going on zis trip to have a good time as friends, not to eat food zat we liked ze first time we tried it." She blushed a bit. She didn't normally make announcements like that. Boss turned red too, but not from blushing, just from anger. How did Hamtaro always get Bijou to side with everything he said like that?

Pashmina stood up too, " Yeah, what if the next time we taste the seeds they taste horrible?"

"Ookwee!!" Penelope jumped up and down.

Sandy felt awful. Even though everyone was getting over not having Hamster Bites at the trip, Sandy still wished she hadn't lied to them. 'Maybe the truth would've been better…' She couldn't take it. "Um…guys, I gotta go…Hillary's coming home early…and I really don't want her to worry so…um…bye!" She got up and rushed out the door. Never had she felt so upset before. Things really couldn't get any worse.

"Zat was…odd," Bijou said. Everyone had gone quiet.

"Maybe she felt guilty for not being able to bring any Hamster Bites," Pashmina said.

"Yeah…" Maxwell was quiet. Well, everyone else was too, but he hadn't spoken all morning, and he usually has a lot to say. He wanted to chase Sandy and ask her what was wrong, but he thought that it'd be best to leave her alone for a while. She was obviously hiding something.

Stan stared at the door. He, like Maxwell, felt that something was wrong and Sandy was hiding it, but unlike Maxwell, he wanted to talk to her immediately. "Hey guys, I think Noel said something about coming home early too. I'll catch you all later," Stan grabbed his skateboard and went out the door.

Howdy looked around, "Hm…what a strange way to act. And just because there wont be any Hamster Bites. Some hams just take good food a little too seriously," he laughed. And like always, no one else did, but it wasn't the silence of a not-so-funny joke, it was the awkward silence that something was terribly, terribly, wrong.

You like? I personally liked this chappie, don't know why, but I did. It actually came out pretty good for something that I typed up in a couple of hours, lol. Lemme know if you like it/ hated it, or don't…whatever you like, heehee.
