Once Upon A Winter

Author's Note: Hamha everyone! Thanks again for so many reviews! I never dreamed of having my story go so far! But anyways, enough about me. Here's chapter seven: Party Time!

Hamtaro awoke in a haze, yawning and stretching. He looked to his side to find Bijou fast asleep. He smiled, and shook her. "Bijou!" He whispered. "C'mon, wake up!" Bijou stirred, awoke, blushed, and giggled all at once. (Or so it seemed) Boss looked, his nose frigid from the cold, at the pair aggressively, his heart burning with anger and ambition to win her heart.

He knew he had to stop it.

He walked over to them. "OOOOKAY!" Hey yelled, butting in between Hamtaro and Bijou. "I think the storm's died down, and we really should head home!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Badda-badda, badda-badda…" The Ham-ham's paws hit the ice with the will to get home. Some slid across the ice, yelping at the cold and laughing, as others found leaves and slid through the ice.

"Hey Hams, check me out!" Yelled Stan, coming to a rather large hole in the ice.

"STAN, LOOK OUT!" Screamed Pashmina, turning to see him. Knowingly, Stan smirked, lifted the front of the leaf a bit, and glided over the water.

"How ya like me know, huh?" He yelled cockily, smiling and waving like he'd been awarded a skating medal. Not seeing it, His leaf hit a jagged spike of ice, and sent him tumbling off. All the ham-ham's laughed as he ricochet off the ice, and onto a woodchip.

"Like, totally ouch…" He whimpered, getting up.

After walking for what seemed like ages, they finally got to the town. "Thank hamster!" Yelled Oxnard, his stomach rumbling with hunger. "Finally!" As they ran through the town, they felt the wind pick up and the snow swirl faster and harder. Then Penelope pointed to the screen of a TV shop.

"Yes folks, it's the blizzard of the season! The temperature is below zero, so stay inside that house 'till the wind dies down." Announced a news reporter. All the ham-hams shivered with cold, and looked at Boss.

"C'mon, let's get to the clubhouse until it's calmer out!" He yelled over the wind. He waved a hand to follow him, and trudged back to the club.

"My, my…" Murmured Snoozer, who had surprisingly awoken for a bit. "You guys are hamsicles." He pulled out some blankets, and handed them to the others. He yawned, stretched, and fell right back asleep.

"I'll whip up some hot chocolate." Bijou cooed, seeing as all of them were frozen and hungry. Handing it out, she cuddled up by Hamtaro, who had the warmest fleece blanker. He blushed, shrugged, and sipping his drink. Boss growled, getting jealous by the second.

"I have to stop him, but how-" He stopped as he realized something. "That's it! A dance!" He hopped up, and sat in his chair. "ATTENTION Time for a club meeting!"

Everyone looked up excitedly, and ran to the table. "Who here thinks we should have a dance?" Everyone's hands shot up, murmurs and giggles erupting. Boss nodded, a secret smile bursting onto his face. "Alright, then let's get this place set up!"

Panda brought out a dance floor, and a DJ booth. The rest carefully set up decorations and, in the case of the girls, gossiped and giggled on who they would ask.

"Like, so," Asked Sandy. "C'mon, are you gonna ask Hamtaro to dance or not?" All the girls huddled around, keeping boys out of earshot.

She looked around shrugged, and smiled. "Yes." She whispered quietly. The girls erupted into a fit of giggles.

When all was ready, cheers erupted. "LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" They all cried, pumping their fists in the air.

Boss jumped and yelled; His plan to get Bijou to realize he liked her was working.
