Chapter Five

Okay I am soooooooooo sorry this took so long! I thought I had posted this chapter, but I realized today (Dec 2, 2005) that I hadn't. I'm so sorry! But I'm going to work on chapter 6 today and I've gotton to be a MUCH better writer so I hope that makes up a little! Sorry about that!

Boss flung the dead hamsters in some pits and curled up in his bed to fall asleep almost immediately. He was unaware of someone watching him.

"I can't believe him," Pashmina said in disgust floating up in a corner of the room.

"I know. I thought he loved me. I didn't love him, but I know he loved me," Bijou stated.

Penelope came into the room and flew through them to be able to float next to Pashmina.

She glared angrily at Penelope, "I told you not to do that! It's cold!" she took her paw and put it through Penelope's stomach. Penelope flew back to stop the cold.

"Stop it, you guys," Bijou said, "We shouldn't be fighting each other. We should be planning a way to get revenge on Boss!"

"Shmeega, shmoga…" Boss muttered to the noise.

"That was close," Pashmina said.

"Ookwee," Penelope agreed.

"Let's go to bed and talk with everyone else later," Bijou stated.

"Ookwee."

And they flew off and snuggled in their dead bodies for a good night's rest.

The next morning, Stan flew out of his body and up out of the ground. He stretched and decided to go on a fly in the woods. So he zoomed off full speed. Instead of dodging trees, he tried to go through them. Then, he saw a beautiful female hamster. She was white and had on a pink sports top and shirt. She was jogging in the woods (dodging the trees). Stan flew ahead of her behind a tree, forgetting he was a ghost. He made sure his fur was good and stepped out in front of her.

"Aaaah!" she screamed, "Ghost!"

"What?" Stan said, "I'm not a… oh wait. I am a ghost."

The girl stepped back.

"I'm nice! See, my friend turned out to be evil so now I'm dead. He killed my sister, so I killed myself and now I'm here. I'm nice, though."

"I don't love you! You're weird!" the girl ran through him, "Aah! Cold!"

Stan chased her and flew in front of her.

"What will make you leave me alone!" the girl wailed.

"Well…" Stan pondered, "You can kill my friend."

"No way, you psycho!"

Stan puckered up his lips and went to kiss her but he went through her. The girl ran away and Stan sadly watched her leave.

"Stan, you're hopeless," Sandy told her brother after he told her what he had done.

"I know!" he went to bang the table next to them, put his paw went right through it, "Darn it! It's so different to be a ghost! Normally girls are crazy for me! I was so desperate that I started acting different than I normally do. I mean, what about the girl I was being secret admirer to? I can't go up expecting a date! I'm a ghost! It would be too weird for her."

"Stan, there's nothing we can do for now. We need to have a ghost-ham meeting and get a plan to get Boss," Sandy said sympathetically.

"What can we actually do to him? We're ghosts in case you haven't noticed!"

"Stan, you know why we're ghost, don't you?"

"What do you mean? It's pretty obvious, actually. Boss killed us!"

"No, Stan. And control your voice. We don't want Boss to hear us. Anyways, ghosts are meant to finish our job on earth. We need to do something here. Then we'll be able to go to heaven."

Stan nodded, finally (or so seeming to) understanding.

"Let's go rally up the rest of the ghosts for a meeting," Sandy said warmly.

Stan nodded and they flew off together.

"So, what are we going to do?" Maxwell started off the meeting, "I can't think of anything," he looked to his left, "Do you have anything to suggest, Pashmina?"

Pashmina nodded, "We could freak him out and just haunt him and stuff until he goes crazy and kills himself."

"That's a little dark for you isn't it, Pashmina?" Panda questioned.

Pashmina shrugged, "I'm mad at Boss for killing everyone."

"Ookwee! Ook Ookwee!" Penelope exclaimed from next to Pashmina.

Pashmina laughed, as everyone else wondered what Penelope had said.

"I don't think the haunting idea is that great, no offense, Pashmina," Cappy said, "I think that we should wait for something to happen… for an idea."

"Okay, well, that sounds like a good idea," Pashmina said happily, "Don't you think so Hamtaro and Sandy?"

"Humph," they each said. They looked to Cappy, "Good idea, Cappy," and they floated off.

Pashmina sighed.

"What's all that about?" Dexter asked curiously.

"Well you figure it out," Pashmina replied.

"Ookwee…" Penelope said sadly.

"I guessed that Sandy was the murderer. Hamtaro is her girlfriend now but takes Sandy sighed. Sandy's mad at me, can't you tell?"

Penelope went over and tried to figure out how to hug Pashmina as everyone left the meeting.

"Boss is sleeping, Sandy!" Bijou said excitedly that night, "Now I can put my fun into action!"

"Let me get Hamtaro," Sandy said excitedly, rushing away only to return a few seconds later.

"Let's go," Bijou said.

The three hamsters flew off and looked at Boss in disgust. Bijou prepared herself then started making her much practiced ghost voice,

"Booooossss…"

"Wh-what?" Boss muttered in his sleep.

"Wwwhhhhhhy diiiid yoooouuu kiiiill meeee? Iiiiiii thouuuut yooouu looooved meeeeeeee!"

Sandy shivered. Bijou had practiced hard and her voice was so creepy right now.

Boss moaned and tossed in his sleep, "No one expected that it would be me if you were one of the first…" Boss muttered, "Uhhhh… I still l…" he started snoring loudly then continued, " I still love you, yeah, yeah… night night…" he started snoring real loud again and stopped talking.

Bijou seemed real mad, "Yoooouu suuuuuuck… I haaaaate yoooouu, yoouu foooool…"

Then the three ghost-hams flew off.

The next night, Bijou still wanted to pester Boss so the three hamsters flew over to Boss.

They were almost to him when he woke up for some water. Once he got it, he couldn't get back to sleep.

"Oh, well," he said, "I'll just work on my plan," he grabbed a pen and paper and turned on a lamp by his bed and started writing.

Bijou, Sandy, and Hamtaro floated around behind him (their heads were sticking out of the wall behind then as they read for it was much easier) and started reading what he was writing.

In sloppy handwriting, it said:

KILLING ORDER BY NAME-AGE-AND WEAPON

1)Audrey-age 13-Chainsaw

2)Arthur-age 15-Poison

3)Twit-only parent-Uzi

4)Maggy-age 4-Slit Wrists

Boss smiled at his work and put his paper on the floor then went to sleep, muttering, "I'll prepare tomorrow…"

The three hamsters were horrified. That was a new family of hamsters. They had moved in last week and they would be killed!

The hamsters flew away, "I know our purpose now," Sandy said, "It's to help that poor family and get Boss captured so that he can't kill anyone else."

"That's a big job," Bijou said worriedly, "Do you think we can do it?"

"We have to," Hamtaro said, "Not just so that we can go to heaven… to save that family. I mean, they have lives. The oldest is 15 and they need us. I mean… it's not like they can have a family as a ghost. Sandy and I can't even hug without going through each other."

"Oh, Hamtaro, you're right!" Sandy exclaimed, "I'd be crying right now but I'm a ghost so I can't!"

"I'd be crying, too," Bijou said sadly, "You're right, Hamtaro. This is our purpose in… death."

The three tried to hug but just went through each other (shivering afterwards) then flew off to tell the others.

By the way, Midnight Eclipse, there's that Uzi. And you're right, Uzi's are cool. Thanks for reminding me about them!
