Chapter 17: Rain
With Caitlin, Natsu, Megan, and Chad...
"Ack, it's raining!" Chad shouted as he thrust his paws over his head. "Hurry up, Shoxxi gals!"
"Shut UP!" Megan shouted. "You've said the same thing over and over for the past twenty minutes! SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, STUPID!"
Caitlin sighed as they entered a small restaurant. The three girl hams and Chad were soaking wet. After they were seated, Caitlin, Natsu, and Megan walked into the bathroom to dry off.
"I swear, I am about to tear his head off!" Megan shouted with anger.
"Well, tear his head off after we find Jake," Natsu replied.
"Yeah, that'd prolly be best," Caitlin remarked. She realized her black dye was coming out from the rain, and Megan and Natsu's dye was coming out too. "Anyone got the dye?"
"I do," Megan said as she pulled it out of her guitar.
"You keep black dye in there?" Natsu asked.
"Heck yeah," Megan responded as she put more dye on her fur and in her hair. Caitlin and Natsu also did the same.
The three girl hams walked out of the bathroom after they had dried off. Caitlin suddenly turned pale as she looked at the entrance of the restaurant. There was Mike with Roger and Becky entering the restaurant.
"What should we do?" Caitlin inquired as she pointed at the three other Bad Hams. "They'll rip Chad to pieces!"
"That's actually good," Megan whispered.
Mike glanced over at the three girl hams and scolded, "Hey, you're supposed to be out there looking! Not here!"
"You are, too, butthead," Megan retorted.
Mike rolled his eyes. "Why are you so incooperative?" he returned.
"It's not that I'm incooperative...I just don't take crap from anybody," she responded.
Chad looked up from the table and remarked, "Oh, Shoxxi gals, who's that? Who's that? Can I meet them? Can I meet them?"
Roger looked over at Caitlin and mumbled, "Who eez thaat?"
"Oh, he's just some retard following us around," Caitlin replied, thinking that if she told them who Chad was, they would scare him into not telling them anything.
Roger nodded. "He lewks annoyeeng...," he mumbled.
"He's very annoying," Megan muttered. "I blew my cool at him earlier."
Chad walked up to the three girl hams. "Who are they? Can I meet them? PLEASE?!"
"NO!" Megan shouted at him and knocked him on the head with her fist. "SHUT UP!"
"HA HA!" Natsu laughed and pointed at Chad.
Mike rolled his eyes and muttered to Roger and Becky, "Let's get out of here before we're infected by idiot-itis or emphasize-itis." Roger and Becky nodded as they followed Mike out of the small restaurant.
Caitlin turned to Chad. "Dude, did you suck in a quart and a half of helium or something?"
"What is helium?" Chad inquired.
"This guy's an idiot!" Natsu shouted. "First, he didn't know what gravity was, and now he doesn't know what helium is! And he most likely sucked a quart or so..."
"What is a quart?" Chad inquired with interest in his voice.
"NEVER MIND!" Megan shouted at him. "Didn't they make you go to school?!"
"Who is they?" Chad asked.
"GAH!" Caitlin shouted as she fell down anime style. "This guy is hopeless!"
The waitress walked over to the four hamsters and inquired loudly, "Are you ready to order?"
"Yes, ma'am!" Chad replied.
Caitlin glanced over at the other two girl hams and thought, This is going to be a while...
With Stella later that day...
Stella continued going through all of her pictures on her laptop. Every picture had a memory hidden in them. She knew Mike didn't know she was in trouble; she just knew it. She knew Mike probably didn't remember anything about Jake, and she definately knew he didn't know her history with Jake.
She still inquired herself why everything happened the way they did. Stella wondered why pain had been throbbing through her heart for the past two days. She looked for an answer, and continued looking at the pictures.
Stella stared at a picture of her and Mike for about ten minutes without looking away. She knew why pain was throbbing. She would never see Mike again.
