Otherwise, this is my most successful story ever! If you have a story you'd like me to read and rate, just tell me! -le gasp- A short chapter! Sorry, had major brain blockage. Needed a short chappie to clear it up. Without further ado, I give you chapter 6: Thoughts!
"Uhhgh… What the heck happened?" Boss had awoken, and was rubbing his head. He groggily looked around, his eyes drooping. "Where am I?" He peeked out the opening in the cave, only to get hit by an icy blast of wind.
"YEOWCH!" He yelled, retracting his head timidly back in. Boss looked around, and realized that everyone else was here. He looked through the snoring ham-hams for Bijou, and when he found her, he almost stomped on Hamtaro's face.
Bijou and Hamtaro where sleeping, Bijou in Hamtaro's arms! Boss was about to let out an enraged howl, But thought better of it. He simply sat down by the fire, slowly sinking into a sob.
"I guess I had my dream backwards." Boss said, wiping some tears from his eyes. "Hamtaro wins this time." But then, he looked back, a new fire burning in his eyes.
"No, I can't give up yet!" Boss said, putting a fist up. "Bijou'll be mine for the taking, and I'm going to win her over!" He shivered and wrapped his blanket around his shoulders.
A hand touched his shoulder.
"Boss, I know how you feel." Said a young, stuffy voice. Boss whipped around to see who it was.There stood Cappy.
"Wha-what do you mean?" Asked Boss, wiping his eyes again.
"I like someone too, but they don't understand a thing!" Cappy said, sitting down next to Boss.
"Y-you mean… Penelope?" He said in surprise, his eyebrows raising. Cappy blushed and sighed.
"Yeah…" He said shyly, shifting from left to right. "I've always liked her. But she can't talk!" He said, looking up.
"Oh…" Boss said, looking into the fire. "It's just, I really like Bijou, but Hamtaro's in the way!" He said so quietly, Cappy had to strain his ears.
"Well, I'm going to go wake everyone up, it's pretty light out." He said, standing up. "But first…" He went over to Penelope to go watch her sleep peacefully for awhile.
As Boss stood up, he looked out the opening of the cave.
"Bijou, I'm going to get you, even if it means risking my own life."
