Chapter 9: Deja Vu, Much? Part 2
"Pashmina? What's up with the hiding-and-seeking?" Stan asked as Pashmina closed the cellphone lid. "Umm...well, it was that...theydon'tallowcellphoneshere!" Pashmina quickly said. "Oh yeah! That's true!" Stan smiled as if remembering. He stood up and sat in his seat.
I gotta get out of here. And NOW! Wait, I got it! Pashmina thought as she climbed back into her chair. "CHANGE OF PLANS! We're taking this food to Go!" Pashmina declared. "What! Awww, but that'll cost me extra!" Stan protested. "I'll pay for it. Now get the damn waiter!" Pashmina demanded.
"Uhh, okay!" Stan shrugged and raised his paw. "Uh, waiter?" he called. No answer. The waiter passing by, was carrying a plate of sauces. "Waiter?" Still no answer. "Waiter?" STILL no answer. "Waaaiiiiteerrrrrr?" STILL no answer! "Waiter!" "..." That's when Pashmina clicked--for the second time that day.
"WWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"
The glass cups shattered under Pashmina's deathening shriek. Everyone jumped in shock. The waiter Stan was after spilled the sauces. One fell on a baby hamster's head. It burst into tears. The others fell on the floor or on a table. The windows cracked and Stan was left speechless...and temporarily deaf for fifteen seconds.
A waiter immedietaly came to their side. "We want our food to go. NOW!" Pashmina ordered. "R-R-Right aw-way miss! Th-that'll be s-six..." the waiter muttered. But Pashmina slammed about ten or twelve sunflower seeds on the table. "Keep the change! Now move it, please!" she cried. The waiter grabbed the plates and ran into the kitchen.
"Well, that was easy!" Pashmina smiled innocently. "Riiight..." Stan laughed nervously. Since when does Pashmina go crazy?
§ Meanwhile, on the other side of the restaurant... §
"Crystal, pleeeeeez! Listen to me!" Bijou was practically being dragged while grabbing onto Crystal's leg. Hamtaro was grabbing onto Bijou's foot, Oxnard to Hamtaro's, Dexter to Oxnard's, and Howdy to Dexter, so it was like a giant ham-chain. (A/N: How desperate could they get!)
"Bijou! Get OFF of me!" Crystal shook the french girl off. "Okay...what the hell is going on? I mean, I can't bring you all in! Ever heard of a regular piggyback ride!" Crystal demanded.
Bijou's cheeks flushed as she stood up. "Uhh, Bijou? Where were Pashmina and Sandy at again?" Crystal looked around. "Why do you ask?" Dexter asked. "Uhh..." Crystal pointed around the room. Then, the Ham-Hams saw a miracle.
Half the restaurant's walls were giant mirrors and since there were at least three windows, it was almost impossible to tell which ones were the right windows.
"THANK GOD ALMIGHTY!" the hamsters, excluding Crystal mouthed up at the ceiling. "Which window were Sandy and Pashmina sitting by again?" Crystal scratched her head.
"Umm..." Hamtaro trailed off when he turned around and saw Pashmina a bit far off. She caught his eye and went pale. Hamtaro bit his lip and pointed the opposite way.
"...That way!" Crystal cocked her head. "Heke? Are you sure 'bout that, Hamtaro? Cause I could've sworn I saw them--" she asked. "I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, WOMAN!" Hamtaro blurted out. "Now, go! Go go go go go GOOOOOO!"
Crystal shrugged and went off. "What was that all about?" Oxnard asked. Hamtaro pointed. They saw Pashmina. "Get out of here!" Bijou mouthed with a panicked expression.. "I'm trying!" Pashmina mouthed back with a "what-does-it-look-like-I'm-trying-to-do?" face.
"Ugh! What is taking so long?" Pashmina muttered, fidgeting in her seat. "Relax Pashmina! They'll be here soon!" Stan comforted. Pashmina nodded. Speak for yourself! I'm the one deciding your future! Pashmina's heart was thumping hard against her chest. She had to get out--now! Everything was at stake here!
Crystal came back to Bijou. "They're not there. I'm checking the other side." she sighed. Bijou and the others squeaked. That's where Pashmina was at! DAMN!
Pashmina saw Crystal coming. She searched desperately for a distraction. Then she saw it.
With her fist, she knocked down all the tableware (A/N: Just in case, tableware is spoons, forks, etc.) underneath the table. Stan seemed surprised. "Oops!" Pashmina pretended to be embarassed. "Lemme get them!" Stan smiled politely, bending over. "Let me help!" Pashmina added quickly. So they both began to gather them. Since they were hidden under the tablecloth, Crystal didn't see a thing as she passed by.
The girl looked around, hoping she would spot her friends. She frowned. Nothing. Sighing, she turned around and went back. She was certain she saw them right here! Over there by that table! But when Crystal looked at the table, she saw it was empty.
Pashmina's breath got caught in her throat. Crystal was looking straight at her table! The pink lover kept peeking to see if it was safe. But right now, it was so not! "Pashmina? You okay?" Stan asked. "Yeah. Fine." Pashmina lied. Lucky the boy was whispering, otherwise she would strangle him to shut up!
Finally, Crystal turned and left. Pashmina let out a soft breath. And just in the nick of time, Stan and her were done cleaning up. Thank the Lord!
"They're not there either! But I could've sworn they were over by that table!" Crystal pointed over her shoulder without looking back--luckily! The hamsters secretly looked over her shoulder to spot Stan and Crystal climbing out from the tablecloth!
"Maybe they're at the bathroom! Bijou, come with me!" Crystal grabbed Bijou's paw and...stopped. "Any idea where the bathroom is?" she asked. "Over here." Hamtaro answered. He and the others guided her to the bathrooms.
§
The front doors creaked open as Sandy, Maxwell, Boss, Cappy, Panda and Penelope came inside. "Look! There's Pashmina and Stan!" Sandy hissed to the others. "Like, stay low!"
The six hamsters knelt down and crawled to a huge plant. They peeked out from different sides of the leaves. "Where is Bijou? I didn't see her outside with the others!" Boss whispered. "I dunno. Before Bijou hung up, Crystal was going inside. They're probably around here somewhere...away from those two!" Panda replied in a low voice. "Then we find them!" Sandy declared.
"Guys?"
"EEK!" The group whirled around to find Hamtaro withOxnard, Howdy and Dexter standing behind him. "Boys! Thank God we found you!" Boss sighed. "W-Where is Bijou and Crystal?" Sandy added. "Looking for you in the bathroom!" Dexter answered.
"Ugh! What are we gonna do? If we don't get them out, we're done for!" Sandy moaned.
"There's gotta be a way to distract them!" Hamtaro frowned. "But what!"
Suddenly, as Hamtaro slammed his fist on the buffet table, his paw hit the end of a huge spoon inside an applesauce bowl. Naturally, the spoon flipped over and tossed some applesauce through the air. It hit a boy! The hamsters he was hanging with gasped. The Ham-Hams stared with wide eyes and mouths. "Oops..." Hamtaro stammered.
"WHO THREW THAT!" the boy demanded. Hamtaro panicked. Stan and Pashmina took a peek at the boy with applesauce in his forehead. Sandy stepped in front of Hamtaro and pointed at another boy. If Stan saw it was Hamtaro, he would ask what they were doing at his "date."
The first one glared. "Eddie! I should've known!" he snarled. He grabbed some tomato sauce from his friend's dipping bowl and threw it at him. SPLAT! It hit his cheek.
"What the hell!" Eddie jumped from his seat. "Take that!" the boy pointed. "Steve! Why you little...!" Eddie threw a tomato slice at Steve. He ducked.
It hit Stan!
"Son of a...!" Stan glared. He grabbed a lady's pickle and threw it. It hit a girl. She threw her sunflower seeds. It hit a waitress.
Lightbulbs flashed in the Ham-Hams' heads. They smirked at each other. Cappy climbed on top of a table and let out one loud:
"FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTT!"
Immedietaly, some kids squealed. They started to throw everything they could get their paws on. The Ham-Hams grabbed applesauce off the cart and threw it all over the place to encourage--or enrage everyone else. In a matter of seconds, food was literally flying all over the air. An apple hit an old fashioned record player. It switched from classical Mozart, to heavy rock music. (A/N: Think of it as background music! )
§
"Not here." Crystal sighed as she stepped out of the last stall. "Where can they be, Bijou? Bijou? Biiijoouu?" Crystal looked around.
FWOOO-SSSHHH! A toilet in the second stall flushed and Bijou came out of the door. Crystal stared at her.
"What? I had to go!" Bijou shrugged. "Psh!" Crystal smiled and shook her head. "I'm checking outside again." Crystal walked outside. Bijou allowed her and washed her paws. Let the boys handle her this time!
"HOLY CHEESEBALLS!" Crystal screamed. Or not! Alarmed, Bijou threw her paper towel in the trash can and ran outside. Crystal was gaping outside when Bijou arrived.
"HOLY CHEESEBALLS!" Bijou copied. Foods and drinks of all kinds were flying all over the place, hitting anything in it's path. It wasn't just any food fight, it was a food WAR!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Bijou suddenly shrieked as she was hit with a peach cake. "Oh my God, Bijou! Who threw th--AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!" Crystal squealed as well when she was squirted with honey mustard. "OH, IT'S ON!" they screeched. So they grabbed anything they could find and threw it.
"FEAR MEEEEEE!" Meanwhile, Hamtaro was going crazy with the war. He took out a machine gun from out of nowhere and stuffed packets of mustard inside it, climbed a high balcony and fired. Mustard shot out and hit anything and everything in it's path.
"YOU CAN'T 'KET-CHUP'...CAUSE IT'S MUSTARD! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" he shouted like a maniac. He had indian style marks on his face and an indian headband on his forehead. (A/N: Get it? Catch up? Ketchup? Ketchup and mustard? Huh? ... Ahh, forget you people! XP )
"HAMTARO, YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT!" Sandy pointed with vengeance when she found herself smothered in mustard. But Hamtaro ignored her. He simply squirted more mustard to the group of hamsters.
SQUIRT! "Ha! Gotcha, Oxy!"
SQUIRT! "Eat my dust, Crystal!"
SQUIRT! "Take THAT, Dexter!"
"Oooh! Pashmina, I looove your scarf! What's that on it? Oh yeah...MUSTARD!" SQUIIIRRRT! "MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Finally, Boss squirted him with BBQ sauce and knocked him off his perch on the balcony. "Kiss my ass, Red!" he shouted with a fist.
Howdy and Dexter were battling as well. Except, they held two pickle spears. (A/N: Wow...) The pickles constantly squirted juice and blinded them. Then, they'd blame each other for it.
Meanwhile, Stan grabbed a cream pie from a dessert cart and threw it. It hit Crystal! "AAAAAHHHH! WHO THE HELL THREW THAT!" Crystal exploded. Pashmina saw the whole thing. Uh-oh! If Crystal sees it was Stan, then Bye-Bye, Party!
Quickly, Pashmina swiped another cream pie and smushed it in Stan's face. He fell on his back in shock. Crystal whirled around to find Pashmina licking some whipped cream off her fingers. This convinced her to think it was her!
"PASHMINA! HOW COULD YOU?" Crystal screamed. "WHAT? Nonono, it wasn't me, it was--" SPLAT! Too late! Crystal had already hit the poor girl with a scoop of ice cream.
Finally, a siren was heard piercing through the air. It was from a loudspeaker. Everyone froze, dropped their possessed foods and winced. They looked up to see who dared to interrupt their food war...and gasped!
Sandy took a quick glance at Pashmina. "Now's your chance! Go!" she mouthed. "What about you? You're gonna get in trouble with--" she mouthed back. "Never mind us! GO!" Sandy waved her off silently. Pashmina frowned but reluctantly obeyed. She grabbed Stan's arm and pulled him.
"C'mon! We're leaving!" she hissed. "But what about our take out?" Stan asked. "Too late. It's over there on the walls. Now come ON!" Pashmina grabbed him and slipped out the emergency exit door, safe and sound. Sandy sighed. The party was safe. Everything was alright.
EWW! Was that pickle juice on her ribbon? Ooh! Whoever did that's gonna pay! she thought. But right now, the Ham-Hams were about to pay as well..!
