FOOL ME TWICE,
I KILL YOU "What's going on!"screamed Pashmina "OOOOOKKWWEEEEEEEE!" Penelope hugged her pink scarved friend tightly.

"Don't panic!"said Dexter,"I'm sure--AAAAA--CCKK!"

"Dexter!"cried Oxnard.The fat hamster stepped on something wet,and crunchy.It was Dexter.

"AAAAAAHH!" everybody started screaming,except Boss,who pulled out a flashlight,and his shovel.Under the thin light,the gruop saw another note,and what what remained of poor Dexter.

"What's it say?"asked Blister.

"'Fool me once,shame on you...'"read Hamtaro.

"What does that mean!" cried Aspen.

"Theres something on the back..."whispered Thorn.

"' Fool me twice,I kill you...'"read Hamtaro grimly.Boss pulled out a tiny hand gun.

"It's time to end this,he's taken too many lives,he must pay..."Sandy said,as though in a trance.

"No..."said Panda,"we must go on with the plan,it's now or never."

"Are you crazy!"cried Blister,"he's got us right where he wants us,we can't just go outside where he might have something to kill all of us!" Thorn slapped Blister across the face.

"They're right,it -is- now or never."said the blue stripped healer.
Penelope whimpered,clutching Pashmina ever tighter.

"Right,"said Hamtaro,"and if we go out,at least we'll go out fighting;Pashmina,Penelope,you stay here,Aspen,stay with them."

Aspen,Pashmina,and Penelope all nodded.The Ham Hams all went outside and set up the trap.Boss got into place,the others hid in a grove of bushes.The killer showed up,as if schedualed,and rushed at Boss.But,instead of running the other way,thus sprinning the trap,he ran at the murderer,his gun drawn.

"YOU KILLED MY BIJOU,NOW YOU WILL PAY!" screamed Boss,fireing off his gun.

The killer doged the bullets,and pulled out a knife.At full speed,he stabbed Boss through the belly.The Ham Hams sprang,attacking the killer,when Panda and Howdy had him restrained,Hamtaro pulled off the mask,only to discover that it was...STAN.Sandy pushed Hamtaro out of the way.

"Why?Why did you do this,Stan!"she screamed through tears.

"I had meant to shoot Boss,but I hit Bijou."Stan said.

Hamtaro felt rage surge through him.

"That's no reason to take someone's life,you don't deserve to live."growled Hamtaro.

The Next Day.
Funerals were held by all the Ham Hams,Stan was sent to a correctional facility,and Boss had been saved by a mysterious miricle,possobly Bijou's soul.

THE END...
