Chapter 2: Getting What She Wants

Exhaling deeply, I threw myself onto my pink sofa in my cage--er I mean, my pretty ham-mansion! Eww! Did I just say "cage?" I've been hanging with those Ham-Hams too long! I scrunched my nose in disgust. Speaking of the Ham-Hams...

Dear Diary,

Ugh! I just spend another day with those second-class-wierdo-pests, the Ham-Hams! They are so annoying! Not to mention boring! The only things that lighten up the place are my stories of my travels and--of course--my beautiful face! But then again, I always light up a room!

I mean, seriously, these hamsters are so impressed with everything I do. Shopping in Paris. Walking down the streets of New York in a diamond carrier. Cruise ships. Cellphones. It's like they've never done it before! It was so shocking, it scared me!

The most exciting things they've done are go to museums, zoos, carnivals, attending a wedding, and a hot-balloon ride. Pfft! I'm beyond that kindergarten stuff! But I pretended to be interested...which you would think was hard! But since I'm a Grammy Award actress, it was a sitch!

I was watching that cutie again. You know? Hamtaro. I don't know how it started! But when I first met him and those other pain-in-the-rear hamsters, I just plain hated him! But after me and Glitter left their town, I couldn't stop thinking about him! He was so intriguing! So cheerful! So different form other guys I've met. And not to mention cute! He treats me .like a normal girl. And in his way, it's kinda flattering! When I returned, I was dying to see him!

So now, I have a crush on him. For me, it's always easy to pick out a guy and make him "Sparkle's Boyfriend". And trust me, in the normal-people's world, that is an HONOR! But Hamtaro isn't so easy to take. Wanna know why? Only one word can answer that:

Bijou.

Ugh! I hate her SO much! She is so annoying with her last-season blue ribbons and that slutty french accent! It makes the guys go crazy! I don't know what that Boss-guy sees in her! She's nothing but a useless whore! She thinks she's so cute, always looking at herself in the mirrors, and that she's princess of the castle! Well, guess what? If anyone's gonna be princess around here, it's gonna be me!

And being princess means getting what you want. And what I want right now is Hamtaro. But that goody-goody Bijou wants him too. It's so annoyingly obvious that she likes him! I mean, even Penelope knows it--and she's a toddler! But Bijou doesn't call the shots here. I do!

Hamtaro always ticks me off when I either see him with Bijou or if he's talking about her. Oooh! How dare she! Does she know who I am? I am Sparkle! Nobody messes with me! Which is exactly why I'm gonna win Hamtaro over! I'm going to show that bitch who's she's competing against and crush every bone in her little shrimpy body.

I know. It all sounds shallow.

So sue me!

Sparkle

(A/N: One word: EEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!)

"Hamtaro!"

"Oh hey, Sparkle!"

I flashed my best smile as I approached Hamtaro the very next morning. The Ham-Hams were all playing outside since today was a perfect day. But it was perfect for me too...and I'm not talking about the weather!

Just then, I saw that french girl, Bijou over Hamtaro's shoulder. She had a defeated look on her face. Apparently, I had gotten to Hamtaro before she did. Ha!

"Hamtaro, I need to ask you something veeeerryyy important! Can we be alone?" I cooed sweetly, but rather loudly, giving Bijou a "try-to-beat-me-now!" smirk. Bijou looked like she wanted to punch me. "Sure Sparkle!" Hamtaro smiled, not noticing me flashing dirty looks to Bijou. I took his paw and led him to a clearing not too far away from here.

From the corner of my eyes, I saw the other hamsters stare at me. Crystal, Sandy and Pashmina, I think that's their names, glanced at Bijou. I guess they know Bijou's secret as well. Oh well. Who cares! Cause it's soonnot gonna be their problem..!

§ Bijou... §

Ooh! Now I was really going to crack! Sparkle was at eet again! But this time, Sandy, Crystaland Pashmina were giving me worried looks. I gaped at Hamtaro as he left me for Sparkle. What eez eet zhat eez more important zhan what I wanted? I wanted to walk up to Hamtaro and have a nice chat with him...maybe even tell him how I felt.

Then, I saw Boss. I knew he had a crush on moi, but I wanted to break eet to him zhat Hamtaro was zee one zhat I wanted. Boss was indeed very sweet, and I loved him, but like a big brozzer.

"Hey. You okay?" Stan placed a paw on my shoulder. I smiled weakly at him and nodded. "Of course! I mean, it's just one discussion. How bad could eet be?" I answered. But inside, I was worried to death. According to the look Sparkle gave me just seconds ago, I had the gut feeling zhis "discussion" was different.

After Hamtaro and Sparkle, I pretended to keep playing with my hair ribbons. As I looked into my mirror, I could hear my conscience talking to me again. Go follow zhem! it told me. I frowned. I wanted to, but...I didn't want to be nosy. Zhis eez Sparkle we're talking about! the little voice must have heard what I thought. I mean, how many times has Sparkle interrupted you?

Okay, now my conscience had a point! Hopping to my feet, I slipped into the bushes and went in zee direction Hamtaro had disappeared into. As I ticki-tickied past more thick bushes, I thought about Hamtaro. Everyday, I wondered if Hamtaro liked me as I friend, or as more zhan a friend.

Or did he like Sparkle? After all, she was pretty and fascinating with her stories. But I thought of all zee times I had spent with Hamtaro. Some made me believe zhat Hamtaro did truly like me. Ozzers made me think I was just anozzer friend to Hamtaro.

Finally, I heard faint voices. I stopped. I had reached a familiar clearing. I peeked through some bushes to see Sparkle standing rather close to Hamtaro.

"So...have you been here before?" Sparkle asked sweetly. It sickened me! "I think so! But Sandy and Maxwell have been here alot! Probably to go on one of those 'date' things." Hamtaro replied. "Right. Sandy told me alot about that! They're both so lucky they're boy-ham and girl-ham!" Sparkle sighed dreamily, staring into the sunshine. Hamtaro looked at her then at the sky. "Yeah." he replied. I bit my lip, not liking the sound of this.

"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Hamtaro turned back to Sparkle. "Oh yeah! Listen, Hamtaro. What I'm about to tell you must not be discussed with the other hamsters, unless I say it's okay." Sparkle told him. "Uhh, sure! So what is it?" Hamtaro smiled that smile he always used to give me. "Well, th-the thing is...Hamtaro...I..I..really like you!"

I froze. My body functions could no longer work. What did she just say?

"Really? I like you too, Sparkle!" Hamtaro replied with that cute naive look on his face. Sparkle gave him a "how-dense-could-this-guy-be?" look. "No, I mean, I like-like you! You know, like I want you as more than just a friend. Hamtaro?" Sparkle looked deeply into his eyes, edging closer to Hamtaro's body. "I think I love you. And...and I want you to be my boyfriend!"

Then, Sparkle threw herself onto Hamtaro and kissed him full on the lips. Her arms were wrapped around Hamtaro's shoulders and she was practically leaning on him for support. Hamtaro's blue eyes widened in shock. Then, they sank into a close. He wrapped his arms around her.

As I watched Sparkle take Hamtaro away from me, I felt like someone had just punched me in the stomach. All the air was sucked out of my lungs. I felt light-headed and nautious. I couldn't believe this! Hamtaro was kissing her back! But I thought he liked me! I thought I would end up with zee kiss in zee end! But I guess I was wrong. He loved Sparkle.

Tears threatened to escape my eyes. I let them fall. Sparkle. I wanted to kill her! I HATE HER!

I stood up from my spot and ran. I didn't know where I was going, and I didn't care. Just as long as I never saw them again...

§

When I slightly opened my eyes, I saw a flash of white fur with a hint of blue. I mentally smirked. Bijou had seen me kiss Hamtaro.

I had won.

Take that, Bijou!
