Chapter 15: The Carnival
The next morning, Pepper, Sparkle, and Hannah woke up and began to get ready for breakfast. When they opened their door, they noticed some flowers on the floor.
"Flowers? Who are they from?" asked Sparkle, who was on her crutches. Pepper picked it up and read what it said.
"'To the prettiest girl in the room; the girl with pigtails. From, Boss.' " Pepper read aloud. Hannah scratched her head.
"Well, that's Sparkle, but I thought he liked Bijou." Hannah said. Pepper gave the flowers to Sparkle.
"Well, maybe he changed his mind when he saw Hamtaro and Bijou on the plane! They make the cutest couple!" Pepper squealed.
"Well, I appreciate the thought, but I don't even have a crush on him." Sparkle said.
"Well, whatever. Leave them in the room and let's go!" Hannah yelled impatiently. Pepper put them in the room and they all left.
Meanwhile, Maxwell got his own room that Snoozer stayed in, too. After a bit, everyone was downstairs in the breakfast room.
After breakfast, which didn't go well with Maxwell and Sandy, they all got ready for the carnival.
KNOCK! KNOCK! Someone knocked at Pashmina's room. Bijou went to open the door.
"Hi, Stan. What are you doing here?" Bijou asked.
"It's something about you-know-who and you." Stan said. Bijou nodded as she went in the hallway and closed the door.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Boss has a crush on you." Stan said. Bijou gasped. There was a silence. Then, Bijou spoke again.
"How do you know?" she asked.
"Boss told Cappy and Cappy told me."
"Oh no. I don't want to hurt Boss' feelings." Bijou said.
"We'll think of something." Stan said. Bijou smiled at him. No, don't give me that smile. I can't resist that smile! Stan thought.
"I'd better get going. I'll see you later." Stan said as he rushed away.
A little later, everyone gathered outside the hotel. Boss quickly took head count, then they all got taxis. Bijou, Stan, Sparkle, and Nin-Ham were in a taxi together. They were talking. Well, Nin-Ham didn't say much of-course!
"Guess what. Boss gave me flowers!" Sparkle said. Bijou and Stan were shocked.
"Really?" they both asked in unison. Sparkle nodded as if she were bragging.
"The card said 'to the prettiest girl in the room; the one with pigtails'. I think he has a crush on me!" Sparkle said. This caused Nin-Ham to turn his head from the front seat.
"What?" he asked. Bijou was just as surprised, but Stan wasn't. He knew what happened. Cappy must have delivered the flowers to the wrong room, Stan thought.
"Why are you so interested?" Stan asked Nin-Ham, trying to change the topic. Nin-Ham went red.
"No reason." He said as he turned away. Bijou giggled and whispered something into Sparkle's ear.
"I think he likes you!" Bijou whispered, quietly.
"No I don't!" Nin-Ham yelled, turning around. He completely lost his cool and started to act like... a normal ham.
"How did you hear that?" Bijou asked. Nin-Ham quickly collected himself.
"I've been trained to hear almost anything." Nin-Ham said in his calm, quiet voice.
"Sheesh, you youngsters." The driver said shaking his head.
After a while, they were there. They paid their taxis. Then Boss did another head count. After that, everyone partnered up.
"Okay. Everyone find a partner! That way no one will get lost!" Boss said as if he was the chaperone of a school field trip.
While they were getting partnered up, Stan quickly told Bijou about what happened with Cappy and him.
"So he still likes me?" Bijou asked.
"Yes." Stan said.
Suddenly, Boss walked up to Bijou. He was about to ask her to be his partner when Hamtaro walked up to her.
"Do you want to be my partner?" Hamtaro asked. Bijou blushed. Boss was about to lose his temper.
"Sure!" she said. They walked away. Boss was about to blow his temper when Cappy tugged on his shirt.
"Want to be my partner?" he asked. Boss sighed and nodded. Stan went to Pashmina.
"You want to partner up with me?" asked Stan. Pashmina blushed.
"I would love to, but who would be with Penelope?" Pashmina asked.
"We could be with her!" Hannah said.
"I'm with Hannah so Penelope could come with us. Okay?" Sandy asked. Penelope jumped up.
"Ookwee!" She yelled excitedly. Pashmina nodded.
"Okay. Thanks, Sandy." Pashmina said.
[Just so you know, here are the partners:
Hamtaro and Bijou
Stan and Pashmina
Nin-Ham and Sparkle
Dexter and Howdy
Sandy, Hannah, and Penelope
Maxwell and Panda
Boss and Cappy
Oxnard and Pepper]
Everyone separated and went on different rides. Stan and Pashmina were browsing around. They stopped at the Ferris wheel.
"You want to ride it?" asked Stan. Pashmina nodded happily.
"Okay." They both got on the ride. Pashmina was really blushing. Stan turned a light red.
"So um, any news on the dream girl?" Pashmina asked. Stan shook his head 'no'.
"No. I haven't had another weird dream for a long time."
"Yeah. Me, too. So um, who did you see when you did the thing?" Pashmina asked, blushing uncontrollably. Stan was silenced. Pashmina's words kept flashing in his mind. It wasn't Pashmina. It was Bijou. He thought.
"Stan?" Pashmina asked. Stan snapped out of his thoughts. He was sweating.
"Um, I saw..." Stan began, but he couldn't finish.
"No, that's okay. You don't have to tell me." Pashmina said when he saw how scared he looked. Stan sighed.
"Um, but I do have to talk to you about something." Stan said. He was going to say it straight out.
"Well, when I met you as a hamster, I liked you and all the other girl- hams. But when I became human, well, it seemed that I had more of a heart. Well, I was still me, flirt and everything, but I felt better about myself. Then, well, when I started to get to know you better. I felt like a whole new person." Stan said. Pashmina blushed.
Though some of what Stan said was a lie, some of it was true. He did feel better about himself when he became human. And then he got closer to Pashmina, well, and Bijou, and he changed.
"I don't know what to say." Pashmina said.
"You don't have to say anything." Stan said. He moved closer and kissed her! At first Pashmina couldn't believe what was happening. But then, she closed her eyes to enjoy the moment.
Meanwhile, Hamtaro and Bijou had just got of the twirling teacups ride. Bijou felt a bit dizzy.
"Oh, I feel so dizzy." Bijou said as she held her head. She was about to fall when Hamtaro caught her.
"Whoa, easy there. Come on, let's sit down." Hamtaro said as he helped Bijou to a bench.
"Are you okay?" he asked. Bijou's head fell on Hamtaro's shoulder. She was so dizzy that she could barely hold up her head.
"Maybe I shouldn't have gone on that last ride." Bijou said.
"I'm sorry. You didn't even want to go on it, but I forced you to." Hamtaro said. Bijou smiled.
"It's okay. How were you supposed to know I get dizzy easily?" Bijou asked.
"Yeah, but I still feel bad." Hamtaro said.
"Really, it's okay. Don't worry. I already feel a bit better." Bijou said as she tried to stand up. She quickly fell back down, but Hamtaro caught her.
"Well, we might want to get back to the hotel." Hamtaro suggested.
"No. I wouldn't want you to miss out on the fun because of me." Bijou said.
"It's okay." Hamtaro said.
"What's going on here?" asked Boss as he walked in out of nowhere. Cappy was with him, too.
"Nothing." Hamtaro said nervously. Bijou quickly pushed Hamtaro's arms away from her. She didn't want to give Boss any ideas.
But she was still dizzy. She tried her best to stand, but she ended up falling again. Boss quickly caught her with Hamtaro by her side. Cappy was just trying to see what was going on.
"Are you okay?" Boss asked. Bijou soon realized that her dizziness was getting worse.
"No! I have a terrible headache and I am so dizzy." She yelled. Cappy pushed Hamtaro aside.
"Ooh! I know that Pepper brought medicine for dizziness and vomiting!" Cappy said.
"That'll work! Let's go find Pepper!" Hamtaro said. Boss put Bijou down on the bench.
"Cappy, watch Bijou. I have to talk with Hamtaro." Boss said as he pulled Hamtaro behind a tree.
"What are doing?" Boss asked angrily.
"What? She was dizzy so I had to help her!"
"Just don't flirt with her!" Boss said to him.
"I'm not flirting1 I don't even have a crush on her! I'm just spending time with one of my best friends. I'm sorry if she happens to be your girl!" Hamtaro said as he walked back to Bijou.
"Come on. Let's find Pepper." Hamtaro said.
"She's with Oxnard so I bet they're at the food court!" Cappy said.
"Good idea." Bijou said quietly. Hamtaro picked her up and they walked to the food court with the dizzy Bijou blushing like heck.
Boss was still next to the rock. He saw the way Hamtaro picked up Bijou. It was as if they were coming back from their wedding! I'm going to get him, Boss thought as he ran to them.
"Oxnard! Pepper! You're here!" Cappy said.
"Hey, you guys! What are you doing here?" Pepper asked.
"Bijou got dizzy and Cappy told us that you had medicine." Boss explained.
"You were right, Pepper! Good thinking, bringing along the medicine!" Oxnard said. Pepper got out the medicine and gave some to Bijou.
"Wow! I feel better already!" Bijou said.
"Good." Hamtaro said. Bijou blushed.
"Hey, look!" Pepper said, who had taken out her brochure. She was pointing at something there.
"There's a tunnel of love!" Pepper said, excitedly. Bijou jumped up.
"I want to go! I bet it will be so romantic. In a place like that, I' bet I'd fall for anyone!" Bijou said. Boss grinned. This is my chance, he thought. Little did he know, someone else was thinking the same thing.
