A/N: How was Chapter 1? Who cares! Lol
Disclaimer: In case ya'll are wondering, I do not own Hamtaro! Although, I don't know why people even ask! Isn't Ritsuko Kawaii in like what, Japan or something?
Special Dedication: I'd like to dedicate this chapter to Stan the Ham Ham, my first reviewer, and to all my friends, because today--June 16th-- was the last day of middle school. So, let's just say, I wasn't exactly "excited" about leaving...especially when some of your closest friends are either moving OR going to another school in the same town! In other words, me and my friends bawled like babies! It's not going to be easy moving on to high school, but hey, at least I've got two whole months to worry about that! But for now, let's just move on with the second chapter. Well, here you go!
Chapter 2: Her Name Was Crystal
About a week had passed since Stan and Hamtaro had first seen the human girl with the hot pink cage. Today, five young hamsters were walking towards the town park for a meeting with their other hamster friends. Four of them were teasing the fifth one.
"...c'mon Bijou, admit it!" a teasing Pashmina urged, a smirk across her face. "Yeah Bijou, we can like, tell you're totally crushing on him!" valley girl Sandy cooed. "For zee last time, I do not like him, and you cannot make moi admit eet!" Bijou sighed, exasperated with her girlfriends' teasings. "OKWEE! OKWEE! OKWEE!" baby Penelope began to hop up and down like crazy. Pashmina smiled evilly, knowing exactly what Penelope had just said. Judging by Pashmina's facial expression, Pepper knew what Penelope had just said as well. "Penny's right, Bijou. You do like Hamtaro! You just keep denying it!" she retorted. Bijou watched Sandy and Pashmina snicker as her face grew hot and steamy. "W-What? I-I do n-not, I mean, I umm..." she stumbled through her words. But the girls didn't need proof anymore . Besides, Bijou was bad at lying.
"Awww! You're blushing!" Pepper taunted the french hamster. Sandy, Pashmina and Penelope began to laugh out loud. Finally, Bijou couldn't take it any more. "OKAY! OKAY! I'LL ADMIT EET EEF ZHAT EEZ WHAT YOU WANT SO BAD!" she exploded. The other girls stared. "O-Oookaaay. Not exactly what I expected to hear from Bijou!" Sandy raised an eyebrow. Embarassed, Bijou lowered her head. "Oopsie," she mumbled. "Sorry Bij. We didn't mean to piss you off!" Pepper frowned. But Bijou just shook her head. "No, no. Eet was my fault for blowing up like zhat. I didn't mean to be so sensitive." she admitted. "Soo..do you want to tell us or not?" Pashmina asked. "Cause if you don't want to, that's totally alright with us, right gals?" Sandy turned to the others. "Awww! But I thought we were gonna--" Immedietaly, Pashmina nudged Pepper to stop her from talking. "Uhh, I mean yeah! It's okay with us!" Pepper finished, knowing she was half-lying. Bijou sighed, as she made her decision. "Alright zhen, zee truth eez..."
A/N: Ooh! Cliffhanger! Now personally, I HATE cliffhangers, but, hey! It's fun to torture you guys! Lol, I'm just playin' with you all! Now I know why authors put in cliffhangers! But don't worry, it's not over yet. This is just HALF of the chapter! Or a third of it. I'm not sure yet...oh well. Next scene!
Meanwhile, while the five Ham Ham girls were laughing and giggling, they just happened to pass the white and orange mansion. In a window by the backyard, inside the hamster cage, a young girl hamster was crawling out of her hamster house--actually, it was more like a hamster mansion! The girl hamster was a beautiful shade combo of white and creamy brown. Her forehead, ears, cheeks, and back were brown while the rest was white. She had a brown ponytail on the back of her head--a bit longer than one of Bijou's pigtails. It was clipped with a pink flower-shaped hairclip barette. She shook her body from head to toe and opened her eyelids. She had big, brown innocent eyes. But when lit up by the sunlight, she seemed to have an aqua-green colored shine in the corner of them.
The girl let out a small yawn. "Hmm, what a nap! The fifth one this week though." the girl muttered the last sentence in distaste. She began to "kushi-kushi", bored out of her mind. Despite her large cage space, many toys and the delicious foods she recieved every day, it wasn't enough to please the hamster every day. The girl hamster walked towards the bars of her cage and stared out the huge window in front of her. The white cotton clouds hovered across the sky. The refreshing outside breeze whispered through her soft well-groomed fur. The outside animals sang, chirped, barked and squealed. The girl sighed. She was rich...but lonely. "I wish I could go outside again. But I can't. We left home and moved here, and now, Catrina needs me more than ever! Oh well, I don't blame. She's been crying at night since the first night we got here!"
Just then, a woman came in through the door of the bedroom. Hey! It's the maid, Chantal! Is it Laundry Day again? the girl thought. The hamster began to rattle the cage excitedly. Chantal turned and smiled. "Hi, uhh..Catrina's hamster who's name I keep forgetting!" she blushed. The girl frowned. Ugh! Why does she always forget my name? It's not that hard to remember! her mind sighed.(A/N: I ain't revealing her name yet! But if you're smart, you'll know what it is!) "I'm just here to pick up Catrina's laundry." Chantal told her. What I tell you? the girl smirked. By the way, where is she? Sensing the hamster's thoughts, Chantal looked at her. Sure enough, the tiny family pet was eyeing the door, wodering if her twelve-year-old owner would walk into the room, a smile on her face. "Oh sorry, honey. Catrina went out with her new neighbors' daughter. I think her name was Maria. Anyways, she isn't due back 'til 5 o' clock." Chantal explained. WHAT? the hamster was shocked.
After Chantal left, the hamster slumped back against the wall of her ham-house. "Crap! Even she's out having fun? But she was the homesick one!" Just then, she stopped. "Wait! If everyone's out, and I'm all alone, then that means..." She turned around. "Lemme do the math..." Time passed. She smiled. "Yaaayyy! PARTY TIIIIMME!" she squealed. Quickly, the hamster slipped out of her cage and raced out the windowsill. "Whoa!" Suddenly, she stopped when she found herself looking down from two stories up. "Uh-oh. How am I gonna get down there?" she asked herself. Looking up, the girl-ham saw a tree branch not too far away. "Lemme do the math..." she whispered again. Time passed. "Yup! It's possible!" Carefully, she took a step back, and..."GERANAMOOOO!" she squealed. The hamster soared throught the air and landed right on the branch. "Whew! That was quite the flight!" she giggled. And so, the girl-ham crawled down the tree and escaped into the wonderful outside world.
A few seconds later...
"OW! Hamtaro, that was my foot!"
"Sorry Stan, but I tripped over this stupid rock!"
"Heke? That ain't no rock...that's a sunflower seed." Stan picked up the seed to show the dumbfounded Hamtaro. "Oh." Hamtaro blinked. Just then, Stan smiled. "Hamtaro! Yo dude, I think we're getting close to her!" he said excitedly. "Gee, ya think? We're hiding in her garden!" Hamtaro pointed out. Sure enough, the two boys were creeping nearby the girl's backyard. "Oh great. Now, you've ruined the moment!" Stan sulked. Stan crept closer to the window. 'Soo, how is this girl like? As in, what does she look like?" Hamtaro questioned. "Dunno. Never seen her." Stan said boredly. "WHAT? WHADDAYA MEAN YOU'VE NEVER SEEN HER?" Hamtaro's eyes popped out of his head. "I mean, I've never seen how she looks like. Duh!" Stan replied. "Oh my God! Are you telling me you want some girl you've never seen before..actually go out with you?" Hamtaro gaped. "Yea!" Stan shrugged. "Honestly Stan, do you have any idea how stupid that is? That girl might think you're a stalker and call the cops!" Hamtaro warned. "Besides, what if it's not a hamster?"
"Whaddaya mean?" Stan turned to look at Hamtaro. "I mean, that cage could have a gerbil, or a guinea pig in there instead of a hamster!" Hamtaro stated. "Pfft! Gerbils do not live in hamster cages!" Stan just scoffed. "Hamster cages? Dude, they're the exact same thing!" Hamtaro sighed. "Are not! Ham-cages are much better than gerbil cages!" Stan told him. "Racist.." Hamtaro mumbled under his breath. "Well, what if that 'ham-cage' has a boy-ham inside? You'll look like a homo!" Hamtaro added. "Men do not live in pink cages! That's just plain gay...and it's wrong!" Stan grimaced at the thought of living in a world of pink. Scary! However, Hamtaro wasn't going to give up so easy."Oh yeah? Well, what if--"
"OUCHIE!" Stan suddenly yelped in pain. "WASN'T ME!" Hamtaro shouted, holding out his paws innocently. "No, not you stupid! I stepped on something!" Stan hissed, massaging his right foot. "You alright?" Hamtaro cocked an eyebrow. Stan seemed to be in pain. "Yea, I guess. But what was that--!" Just then, Stan stopped in his tracks. "What?" Hamtaro perked up curiously. "Check this out!" Stan blinked. Slowly, he picked up what had pricked his foot. To Hamtaro, it looked like some sort of small, pink, shiny thingamabob. "What is that? Wait...it's not evil..is it?" Hamtaro asked, backing away ever so slightly. "No Hamtaro, it's infected with brain viruses from Neptune..of course it's not evil! Now take a closer look!" Stan told him. Hamtaro still felt doubtful, but obeyed Stan. Now Hamtaro had a better view of what was in Stan's paw. It was a hamster-sized flower shaped hairclip. "It looks so familiar. Almost like from..."
Suddenly, Stan's mind began to overflow with childhood memories from the distant past. "Wait a sec! Now, I remember!" he shouted excitedly. "Uhhh, dude. Now would be a really good time for an explanation!" Hamtaro waved his little paws. "Hamtaro...I never told you and the Ham-Hams trhis, but a little while after me and Sandy were seperated, Noel took me to the city. And that's where I met..Her," Stan said, a smile spread on his face. "Who?" Hamtaro questioned. "A girl. And..and her name was Crystal..."
