Chapter 2: Nami
"Hey Max, do you know where Panda is?" Pashmina asked Maxwell the next morning. "He promised to make Penelope and me a new bunk bed!"
"Oakwee!" Penelope yelled excitedly.
"Panda went to the ham-ware store." Maxwell confirmed. "Something about buying staples." Pashmina and Penelope walked away disappointedly.
The hams all met in the kitchen to eat breakfast. They were halfway done with their seed tarts when a furry green blur erupted from the door and zoomed into the kitchen. Ugh, Pretzel.
"Hey! That's my spare hat!" Cappy yelled at Pretzel, snatching the hat away.
"WAHHHHH!" Pretzel sobbed, trying desperately to reach the cap that Cappy had set on the top of the counter.
"You guys are all going about this in the wrong way!" Pashmina explained to them. "Show Pretzel a little love. She went up to the now very wet Pretzel and patted him on the back. "So, Pretzel, tell me about yourself."
Pretzel perked up quickly. He answered is his usual half brain dead voice. "Well, my full name is Pretzel Oregano Teriyaki and I collect marshmallows, especially the big white fluffy ones but I also like the tiny pink ones that you can put in the microwave and they blow up, I wonder if a puppy would blow up if you put it into the microwave, anyway, my favorite color is olive green, well, not the really olivy olive green, just the pale-ish sorta olivy color and I like things that are squishy like the pond gunk at the bottom of the lake, I love to throw that pond gunk, but this one time, I threw it at my mom, and she sent me to my room but I still had some pond gunk in my pocket and I threw it out the window at passing cars, and my favorite word is typo because it's so fun to say, typo, typo, typo, it kinda sounds like a breakfast cereal, I like cereal, it's crunchy and yummy and I'm wearing sparkly yellow socks and I have a spider named Nami in my sock right now!
He held out a small hairy spider. All the girls shrieked and leaped onto the counter top.
"Anything else?" Stan asked, sarcastically.
"Oh yeah, I like blueberry pie!" Pretzel finished.He was just about to go on when Cappy screamed.
"Ahhh! My hat, my hat! It's alive!" Cappy yelled. Sure enough, his hat had leaped off the counter and onto the floor, where it started to scuttle about, forcing all the hams to leap up as it went past. Everyone except Maxwell, who was to smart to believe that a hat could be alive. He pulled the hat off, to reveal Nami, hiding under the hat.
"GRRRRRRR!" Yelled Sandy, she flung herself across the room and landed right on Pretzel. She grabbed her tail ribbon and tied Pretzel to a leg of the table.
" Is this another game? I like games, especially hide and seek, this one time, I was playing hide and seek with my sister and I hid in the toilet and nobody found me, but then I got stuck and I then dad came in with the paper and… But none of the hams had bothered to stay around to hear Pretzel rant.
"What are we going to do about him?" whispered Dexter In the other room. Distant echoes of "teacup, teacup, TEACUP!" could be heard from the kitchen.
"I don't know," Sandy said "but my tail ribbon isn't that strong."
"Help has arrived!" Panda yelled, springing into the room and holding out various items such as Ham-Wonder staples and Super Stick Glue. The hams cheered.
"Oh Pretzel," called Dexter "we have a game for you."
"I like games." Pretzel muttered, happily.
