Chapter Seventeen: A Day To Remember
Ha!!! The end, read it!!!!!!
I decided to add a special tribute to all of those who took their time to review for the previous chapter:
Hamgirl168-It's like a tie between you and ahamtarodreamer for who reviewed the most times for this fic. I want to sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for the contributions you have made for this fic. Because you sent in those infinite number of reviews, I had more confidence to continue writing this fic. I wish you the best of luck with your stories, and once again, thank you! Your name is forever etched into the My Fake Fiancee story heart.
ahamtarodreamer- Again, I don't know whether you or Hamgir168 sent in the most reviews for this story. Oh lordy, lordy, lordy...I don't know where to begin with you....I first read your pen name when I got like seven emails at the same time, each being a review. At first I was like, "Who would honestly send in that many reviews for my lame story?" But after I read your reviews, I had to pinch myself. You were always so sweet in your reviews, and you even put me on your bio several times! How cool is that? And you're also so young, too. I'm sure that soon, you'll be writing stories ten times better than anything I ever could come up with. You have a lot (emphasis on "a lot") of talent/potential. Use it to the best of your abilities, and keep the Hamtaor Fanfiction category full of dignity! Best of luck with your ficcies, although I'm sure you won't need it! (And umm...sorry about the Terra bashing at the end of last chapter. I guess I didn't fully take into consideration the fact that you were a Terra fan, which I knew. Good luck with your Terra/Beast Boy fic! I hope it does well!)
Kirbykat-Long time no talk, ne? Sorry 'bout that...hehe....Anyway, thanks for reviewing my story and sticking by it. (Make sure you update that humor fic of yours, we need laughter for this category. : ) Again, thanks for the wonderful reviews; and Terra does deserves to be in stone, doesn't she? n.n
nipagirl12193You're a new reviewer, aren't you? I don't recognize your pen name from other chapters...Oh well...Thanks for reviewing! And thanks for thinking it's awesome!
Yukiru13-My fic thanks you for wishing it a happy birthday. Anyway, do you actually use the cliffhangers from my story in your Ranma fic? O! I feel so flattered (if that's true). Thanks for adding to the donation of reviews. And Terra's a loser, she really is. Raven truly is the star of the show; too bad she couldn't beat that Blond-Benedict-Arnold up...
YAY!!!-Thanks for the review, and I totally agree with you about the BB/R and Terra thing. Raven can get any guy she wants, especially Beast Boy. Terra was just an...obstacle...(P.S.-I hope your moment of "torture" wasn't too intense. I hope your fallen-asleep foot made a comeplete recovery.)
Hamclover-You didn't sound the least bit snooty in your review. 200 reviews, I can't believe it.....Anyway, thanks for wishing my story a happy birthday, but I wouldn't say that I'm comepletely dedicated to it. I mean, I wrote the last like six chapters many months ago, hence the fact why the ending was so lame and I couldn't think of anything better. Thanks again! (I can't believe you compared this fic to the Holy Grail! I'm not Christian or Catholic or anything, but even I understand the significance of that! Thank you sooooooo much!!!)
Paradise River-Oooooo, pretty pen name! Thanks for the review, and cool! Another Terra hater!
CrystalTear1-I'll be honest with you: I first saw your pen name on my Author Alert list like a very long time ago, and I always wondered "What story of mine does she like best?" I often looked at your bio, but that gave no signs of either liking Yu-Gi-Oh or Hamtaro, my two fortés. So then like a few weeks ago, I'm flipping through my reviews and see one from you for this story, and I was all like "Cool! She likes my Hamtaro ficcy!" So thanks, for being one of my first fans. Good luck with your stories! And thanks also for reviewing!
Hamgirl-Erm, are you and Hamgirl168 the same person? If so, then I already thanked you. If not, however, thanks for reviewing! Cool, you used French in your review!
AWQ-Thanks for wishing a happy birthday to my story, and thanks a lot for reviewing! Thanks for praising me on how well I created André, but don't threathen my OC--We need to keep him alive for the sequel.
notalie-Whoa! You sent many reviews, so I'd like to especially thank you! Well, the chapter's up, so you can't kill me now...hehheh...Umm...well...thanks for your dedication to the fic, and btw, where do you live? I know a girl in my school who calls herself notalie for fun, and I've never actually heard that name before. Oh well...
Michael Bulaich-Yeah! HB forever! Thanks for reviewing, but I wouldn't call André a "back stabbing bastard"...He was never their freind, so how could he have back stabbed them? O well....
nicky-Yeah, Terra is useless...LOL Thanks for the review!
dreaming star-That's a pretty pen name. It reminds of my own. Anyway, the preview you read wasn't for the nect chapter, it was for the sequel which comes out like in about a year after the SM sister fic. Other than that, you were pretty much right in your review (that's a hint!).
The Samurai-Wow, thanks! It was nice of you to leave such a nice, long review behind for me! I really appreciate it! Also, I read your bio, and don't be afraid to write! I like both Inuyasha and Hamtaro! I'll make it a personal note to be one of the first to review if you ever start writing for those anime shows! (And if I don't review, e-mail to tell me, "Hey, ya idiot, I wrote a story so be good to your promise and reiew!" :)
Miss Umi-Umm...thanks for reviewing. Sorry for the cliffy, but I love leaving chapters with cliffhanger endings!
Gothic Sabrina-I updated! Can't make me get married to André now, can ya? LOL Thanks for reviewing and wishing my fic a happy birthday! Best of luck to your writing!
Shadow Bijou-Thanks for the review! Thanks for wishing this story a happy birthday, and I couldn't wait for the last chapter, either....My first fic done...This is rather depressing :(
Mega-ManX0-Don't die yet! We have the last chapter and the epilogue to go! Thanks for the review! It was very sweet!
LaserWulf-I didn't wanna complete my first fic, but it must be done. Thanks for wishing me many more years of writing. Thanks for reviewing!
SupersayiankingTommy-Dude! André mustn't die! LOL thanks for reviewing!
Mignon Bijou Metzari-Awww! Your review was so kind! Thank you soooo much!
CrazyInsaneAnimeFanGirl-Who else could it be? Thanks for the review!
Lord Cynic-Sorry 'bout that...hehe...I didn't know that you didn't see Aftershock pt II otherwise I wouldn't have put in that..yeah......Anyway, where do you live? England or something? How else could you not have seen that episode?! Thanks for the review, and thanks for being that loyal reviewer that you always were!
happyham-Were you on a rush of sugar when you wrote the review? Thanks, btw!
ying-yang fairy-Sorry about the cliffy, but thanks for the review!
Kattx-I know you didn't review the last chapter (and I hope that not because you're mad at me) but I do owe you an infinite amoun of gratitude. After all, it was you who told me Yosei's name! If it wasn't for you, I would've been stuck calling her "the fairy" for who knows how long. Thank you and don't forget to keep writing your Hamtaro stories! Screw what the people say!
To All Of You-I'm pretty sure I got all of you who reviewed so far...Man, it's hard watching your first fic be completed. I want to thank each and every one of you for reviewing or at least taking the time to pay attention to this fic. It was really very sweet of you! How can I ever forget you guys, my first set of reviewers! I am thankful for every review I ever received for this story, flames excluded obviously. I appreciate the simplicity from the first review I ever got, which was sent in by someone with the pen name of Airimis, to my most current reviews for chapter sixteen. I will never be able to fully express my gratitude for all of you. You all gave me the confidence to continue writing this story. You guys made this the --disputable--number one HB story on this site! Thank you sooooooooo much! Not every fanfiction gets this popular, especially in a category that hardly has any fanfictions at all. You guys constantly give me a boost of reassurance that I can write well and my stories aren't all just junk. How can I possible repay you for that? I owe you guys the continuation of this story, the time you took to actually read it, and why I'm still writing on today. You each deserve so much more than I can express in words (Yes, this is extremely corny; bear with me!) So at least give yourselves each a pat on the back! You deserve it!
I can't read the end of my fic, it'll make me cry! --Celestial Night runs off crying--

"STOP THIS WEDDING!!!!!"
And he ran to the altar. Everybody watching, Bijou stunned. André annoyed. "What is the savage doing here?" He asked. Hamtaro came to the altar.
"Well," started Maxwell "if there's anyone here who objects to this wedding, speak now or forever hold your peace."
Hamtaro was standing at the altar, his eyes on Bijou and André.
"I object," he clearly stated.
"Oh, no you don't," said André.
"André, shut up," said Sandy, Stan, Oxnard, Pashmina, Cappy, Panda, Dexter, Howdy, Josie, Maxwell, and Hamtaro in unison. Bijou was left speechless.
"Hamtaro, why do you object?" Maxwell asked with a half smile.
Pashmina and Sandy crossed their fingers.Bijou was just as curious as Maxwell, just as hoping as Sandy and Pashmina, and a little scared too, but she didn't know why.
You still could not see her eyes. "I," started Hamtaro "Will not let this wedding take place. Why? Because, Bijou, you don't deserve André. We all keep on telling you that. You have to listen to us, if not, listen to me. You deserve to be loved, that's something André just can't do. He'll close you up from the rest of the world. You deserve someone who can give you so much better than that."
"Yes, I remember you telling that to me earlier," Bijou murmured.
You still could not see her eyes.
"But this is the part I left out...."Pashmina and Sandy almost squealed with joy; they had a feeling of what would come next.
All the Hams became hopeful. (Except André of course.)
"Go on..." Maxwell encouraged."Yes, do continue...." Bijou spoke.
You could see some emerald in her eyes. "I just....I just..." Hamtaro began. He could feel all the eyes on him. "Bijou, I didn't want to do this, but my conscience will not let me live with myself if I don't do something. I care about you, Bijou. More than just a friend. I tried to ignore it, really, I did, but this whole Fake Fiancée thing, it just made the feelings even stronger. I've cared about you since the moment I spotted you on your tree branch that day. Remember that song I sang for you? I meant it, every word. But you know that there were some obstacles in my way, so I could never tell you," He said. He looked at Bijou, and his heart broke. Her face showed confusion, as if she didn't expect this nor did she want this.She blinked a few times, as if Hamtaro liking her was a new concept, not the fantasies she'd been hoping for all her life.
Let's go back
Back to the beginning
Back to when the earth the sun the stars all aligned
André got mad. "Well, now you've told her, and the secret's out. That's great, but we have a wedding to go through, so..."
"Yosei, Boss, and even Snoozer lied to me," Hamtaro mumbled, believing Bijou's expression said that she did not want this to happen. "Enjoy your wedding. Sorry I interrupted," he said as he made his way back to the Grand Doors.
'Cause perfect didn't feel so perfect
Trying to fit a square into a circle
Was no lie
I defy
"I can't belive she didn't reply," Pashmina breathed angrily.
"Bijou, go!" Sandy whispered under her breath.
"I don't believe it," all the Hams gasped.
"Neither do I," Bijou whispered. "WAIT!!!!" she cried after Hamtaro. Her mind was racing; she had to do something.
Hamtaro turned around.
Bijou started to make her way over, but André grabbed her wrist.
"Stop it, André, you're hurting me!" she cried. Although she was wearing gloves, she could still feel Andr's claws piercing her delicate flesh.
"If you leave me and run after him, you will become nothing to me!" he hissed.
"Then the feeling's mutual!" Bijou said as she stole her wrist back. It was as if she had woken up from a deep slumber. "Screw my conscience!" she said as she picked up her gown and headed down the aisle, which didn't look so black anymore.
"What?" Hamtaro asked as Bijou came up to him.
"And as for you..." Bijou said.
Her emerald eyes were in full vision once again, and her skin regained its beaming bountiful beauty.
"The feeling's mutual," she ended with a smile.
"Are you serious?" Hamtaro asked, not believing any of this.
"If you really meant what you just said, then the feeling's mutual," she repeated, a new kind of light blooming in her eyes.
Emerald and cobalt eyes highlighted the bleak room.
Let the rain fall down
And wake my dreams
Let it wash away
My sanity
'cause I wanna feel the thunder
I wanna scream
Let the rain fall down
I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean
"Then why didn't you...."
"Confess? I didn't know you felt the same way, and besides, boys are supposed to reveal their crushes first," Bijou explained. She had a soft smile on her face.
And thus began Hamtaro and Bijou.
"I am not going to settle for this!" an enraged André declared as he raced for the couple.
"NOT SO FAST!" came the voice of a young farmgirl, above André on the balcony.
She had her whole sack of rosemary. The freshest and most fragrant of its kind, poised above Andr's head. "Normally, I wouldn't waste such wonderful and fresh rosemary on the likes of you, but this qualified as a very special occasion," she explained as she shook the bag over his head, releasing the herbs.
"Uh-oh," André squealed like a little girl as the green herbs came pouring onto him.
Kiran smiled, "Achoo, Andre, don't bother me." (AN: Meant to sound like "Shoo fly don't bother me.")
Josie laughed as she watched André suffer. 'Eet finally happened!' "Some promises, my zear André, are meant to be broken."
And thus ended the engagement that twined Bijou and André.
Pashmina and Sandy clapped while the rest of the Hams cheered "I knew it!" happily.
Hamtaro and Bijou stood there, smiling happily, and holding hands.
Let's go back...... back to the beginning
A Few Days Later
"Thanks again, Kiran," Hamtaro and Bijou said as they were about to walk through the door that led to the Human world.
"No problem. If André ever gives you anymore trouble, just call me," she said, holding up a sack of rosemary.
She gave the sack to them, and winked. "Just in case."
"What an awesome month!" cried the rest of the Hams.
Boss came up to Hamtaro and Bijou (He was well enough to get released from the hospital :) and said "Congratulations. This might not be so bad, I always wanted a little sister," and he gave Bijou a brotherly hug.
André was standing behind Josie, really, really, really mad.
"I hated this month," he silently stated.
"And I heard that, too," teased Stan as he entered the portal.
"I hate everyone of you putrid scumbags with every fragment of my soul." André hissed with mucho anger.
"The feeling's mutual," said Hamtaro and Bijou as they entered the portal together, holding hands, of course.
They were all smiling. Looking forward to becoming Hamsters again.
"I will never forgive you, any of you!" André mumbled as he and Josie followed Hamtaro and Bijou through the portal.
"Thanks Yosei!!!!!!!!!!" all the Hams said from the other side of the portal. "We'll miss you!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Goodbye, dear Hams. We'll meet again soon, that's a promise," Yosei responded.
"Goodbye!!!!!!!!!" Kiran said. Then she turned her attention to Yosei as the portal closed.
"What was the real reason you turned the Hams into Ham-Humans?" she asked Yosei, glimmer in her eyes. "I know it wasn't just to save Bijou."
"Let's just say, they just walked through the portal together, holding hands," was Yosei's only response as her wand twinkled with a blinding blue light.
