Chapter 5: The Plane Ride To Snowy Mountain

On the day of the trip, everyone gathered at the clubhouse. Boss took head count.

"I think that's everyone." He said.

"Wait. Where's Hannah?" asked Pepper. Suddenly, Hannah walked out of the bushes.

"Sorry I'm late!" said Hannah.

"Now, that's everyone." Said Hamtaro.

"Let's hit the road!" yelled Boss. They all walked to the airport. As soon as they got there, they got their tickets and got on board the plane. Bijou was getting settled on the plane next to Hamtaro. She was a little nervous, but she tried her best not to show it.

"Are you excited?" asked Hamtaro. Bijou took one look at him and turned red.

"Wee. It'll be fun." Said Bijou. Hamtaro smiled at her. Bijou turned a bit redder and smiled back.

"You have a pretty smile, Bijou." Said Hamtaro. Bijou did her best not to blush any harder.

"Thank you." She replied, kindly. Soon, the airplane lifted off and they were in the air. Hamtaro was sitting next to the window. He was staring at the sky and the clouds and all the little streetlights and cars.

"I've never been on a plane before. This is so cool!!!!" yelled Hamtaro. Bijou giggled. Hamtaro is so cute and curious, she thought.

"Yes, this is cool." Said Bijou. Suddenly, Hamtaro's stomach started to grumble.

"He he, sorry. I didn't eat breakfast yet!" said Hamtaro. Bijou couldn't help laughing. Hamtaro began to laugh, too.

A few seats behind them, Boss was sitting with Cappy. He was spying on the two.

"Why are they laughing together?" Boss asked himself.

"What?" asked Cappy.

"Did you say something?" he asked. Boss looked at him.

"Uh, no." lied Boss. Cappy was a bit confused, but he turned around to look out the window. Boss kept looking at Hamtaro and Bijou.

"He's going to get it." he said. Cappy looked at him again.

"What? What did you say?" asked Cappy. Boss looked at him angrily.

"Do you have a crush on Bijou?" asked Cappy. Boss turned red.

"No. W-what makes you think that?" asked Boss. He didn't want someone as young as Cappy to know about his secret.

"Well, you always look at her. You get mad when other guys are with her and you always blush around her." Said Cappy, innocently. Boss was surprised at how much Cappy knew. He didn't think that Cappy would notice things like that.

"Alright! Alright! I like her." Said Boss. Cappy smiled.

"I knew it." said Cappy. Boss didn't seem too happy about telling him.

"You can't tell anybody, okay?" asked Boss. Cappy nodded.

"Cross my heart and hope to die." Cappy promised. Boss sighed.

"Okay. I'm trusting you." Said Boss.

Back with Bijou and Hamtaro, they finally stopped laughing.

"Oh! I forgot. You left so quickly yesterday that you for got your purse." Said Hamtaro. He reached into his book bag and took out Bijou's purse.

"Oh, yes! I must have forgotten this in my rush." Said Bijou, a bit embarrassed. Suddenly, a thought struck Hamtaro.

"Hey, why did you leave in such a rush?" asked Hamtaro. Bijou didn't say anything. She couldn't believe that he didn't know. She decided not to tell him the truth.

"Because I remembered that Pashmina was waiting for me at my house." She lied. Hamtaro could tell that she was lying, but he didn't say anything.

After a while, Bijou fell asleep. Hamtaro watched her. She's so cute and innocent when she sleeps, he thought. Suddenly, Boss walked up to him.

"O-oh, hi Boss." Said Hamtaro, worried that Boss would yell at him.

"Why were you and Bijou laughing together?" asked Boss, angrily.

"Can't two friends have fun together?" asked Hamtaro. Boss got angrier.

"We'll see..." said Boss as he went back to his seat. Hamtaro sighed. Soon, he fell asleep. Bijou's head was on Hamtaro's shoulder and Hamtaro's head was leaning on Bijou's head. Sandy and Pashmina walked by them.

"Aww. Don't they make a cute couple?" asked Pashmina, whispering.

"Yeah, totally! But I think Bijou likes Boss." Whispered Sandy. They walked away.

After half the trip, Bijou woke up. Her hair was a mess. She reached down to get her hairbrush in her bag. She saw that some of the stuff in her bag had fallen into Hamtaro's bag. She took her stuff out of Hamtaro's bag, but she couldn't find her brush. She dug deeper into his bag. She saw a photo in it. She took it out and looked at it. It was a picture of her.
