I'm not sure what the acual 5 steps are or what order they are in. is there even 5 of them? Okay this is going to be a really long chapter but I thought this would be fun (and it has nothing to do with the characters)

Recap – HAMTARO – Stan and Penelope

DEXTER – Maxwell and Pashmina

OXNARD – Panda and Bijou

BOSS

The 5 Steps

1. Denial

"I can't believe this!" Boss paced across his room, slamming his shovel into the ground (making the ham-hams bang their little paws on the wall to get him to shut up).

"I'm supposed to be the leader! It's supposed to be Bijou and me! No, its probably just some random rumor spread along the house. Yup, that's it. There's no romance at all!"

2. Happiness

All of a sudden, Boss felt this warm feeling that he loves come over him. He was glad for the new couple.

"Congratulations to them! That's the problem with us! They didn't feel welcome, well they should! People should be proud of them! What's wrong with romance?"

"Well, I have to find out who they are to congratulate them!" Boss suddenly remembered that when he called the ham-hams over, two of them were missing.

"Well I know Bijou was there loving sigh and I know Pashmina was there. Oh yea! Cappy wasn't there. I remember because he wasn't helping me for a long while. So it has to be a girl. Penelope was with Pashmina. SO IT HAS TO BE SANDY."

Wait, I should get them something or make them something. Maybe I should go get Panda. Yea, he could make them a love sofa."

3. Relief

Boss wiped away the sweat on his forehead, "At least it wasn't me," he mumbled.

"Just think of it, the fights, the kissing, the making out, the publicity, its horrible. Poor things, Sandy and Cappy. Plus there's the only couple so everyone's watching them. I couldn't do that. I'm a tough ham-ham! Field hamsters are tough! We can't be going around doing that. It's unthinkable."

4. Hatred

"Why couldn't it have been him and Bijou" Boss thought. Boss felt them becoming more together. There could have been a relationship between Bijou and him… not anymore because of 'them'.

"They probably always ruin it," Boss thought, "They're out to get every hamster in the ham-ham house, trample our lives.

Boss felt his stomach go into knots, he wanted to scream as loud as he could, that's how much he hated the couple (but he had a headache didn't want anymore banging). His paws slowly clenched. He wanted so bad to wack them with his shovel.

WACK WACK! CRASH!

"I don't think I needed lamp anyways. See, they ruin everything!"

5. Depression

Boss slowly climbed into bed, he wanted to stay there forever and ever and ever. His life was completely ruined, nothing could make it better.

He tumbled out of bed (grumply) and slipped out of his room and back, grabbing a tin of paint on the way.

For a couple hours, he growled at the wall until he finished painting it. He couldn't really see it because his lamp was broken (WHICH WAS THE COUPLE'S FAULT!) but he knew it was a evil black.

Next, Boss sat himself in front of the mirror (after getting another lamp from Panda). He covered his face in white and lined his eyes with black.

He climbed back into bed, admiring the artwork of his face, and wished he could stay there for the rest of his life.

"Nobody loves me," Boss moaned, "Nobody even cares about me!"

BACK TO NORMAL

Eventually his bad thoughts lifted and he felt happy again! He actually felt happy for Cappy and Sandy again. He casually walked out of his room, ready to meet the wall but had to run back in to wash his face and paint his room again.
