After supper, most of the ham-hams lounged around the clubhouse with not much to do. Most of them were pretty tired from gathering the sunflower seeds, and Oxnard, especially, was tired from all the eating. Harmony was laying down next to Snoozer, just looking at the ceiling.

"There she is," Boss said to himself. "Now's my chance!" Boss walked a little closer to Harmony and called out to her. "Hey, Harmony... can we talk outside? You know, so nobody else is around?"

"You can talk to me here," Harmony said, looking left and right. "It's just me and Snoozer."

"Yeah, but... please?"

Harmony sighed, got up, and went outside with Boss.

"Is... is Boss making a move on her?" Maika thought to himself from afar. He felt nervous, but stood up and started walking to the door after them. Boss and Harmony walked through the door and closed it with Maika towards it faster. He wasn't sure what he felt - jealous, angry, upset; he just didn't know. Just as he was about to put his paw on the door, another ham-ham stepped in front of him, blocking the exit.

"Hey ham-dude, just where do you think you're goin'?"

"Come on, Stan, I need to see what Boss is trying to do! Outta my way!"

"Whoah whoah, and what are you planning to do then?"

Maika looked down at his feet. "I don't know... But what do you care! I need to make sure that-"

"That Boss doesn't take Harmony? You care for her a lot then, huh? Well, that's cool I guess." Stan pulled out his maracas. "But just leave the rest..." Then he pointed them at himself. "...to the best!"

"Do you try to rhyme or does it just come out that way?"

"Umm... anyways! I'm the best ham-ham romancer here, so I should be able to give you a few tips to make sure you get the girl. You know, I ALWAYS get my girl"

Stan leaned in and whispered a few things to Maika. Sandy saw the two talking and decided to join in the discussion. Stan was pointing to things like his teeth, his maracas, his dancing feet, then finally pointed to Sandy.

"Just give it a go!" Stan said. With that, Maika walked towards Sandy and greeted her.

"Hey there good-lookin'! First we dance..." Maika grabbed on to Sandy's paws with a big smile. "...then we romance!" They started spinning around while Stan looked at them, pleased. Sandy Blushie'd at first, but then she saw Stan and knew this was his doing. She stopped spinning and grabbed on to Stan's ear. "Come on bro. You're like, corrupting this guy," she said while dragging him away. Sandy came back and told Maika to sit down.

"Look, don't listen to my bro. He like thinks he knows all this stuff but he really doesn't, okay? I'd probably be able to help you a lot more than HE could!" Sandy laughed a little to herself, but Maika looked at her, concerned, and asked her, "well, can you help me, then?"

Sandy stopped laughing and sat down, looking at her feet. "Umm... sure..." She looked into Maika's intent eyes, Blushie'd, and looked back down.

"He's like TOTALLY cute when he's all serious like that," she thought to herself. "Wait, what am I thinking! I have Maxwell... Even though things have been a little boring with him lately, we're still, like, the official ham-ham couple! I... I can't just drop him for another guy... And Maika likes Harmony! We'd be doomed from the start... unless Boss got Harmony..."

"Are you ok, Sandy?" Maika grabbed her chin gently and lifted her face up.

"Yeah, totally! Umm..." Maika let go and put his paws on his lap, listening intently. Sandy tried her best to hide her blush. "Harmony's a great girl... I can see why you like her so much..."

"I still don't know... I mean, I'm pretty sure that I like her... I get really jealous when Boss tries to be alone with her, so I think I like her." Maika still wasn't entirely sure of his feelings, but he wanted to pursue Harmony.

Sandy started thinking to herself again. "Maybe I DO have a chance then... No, no, ignore it, girl! You like, already have a boyfriend! Okay, okay, just give him some sound advice..." Sandy sighed and tried her best to smile at Maika.

"Well, first you gotta like get her alone, so you can, you know, really talk to her and make her feel special..." Sandy started rubbing her feet timidly. "And umm, just tell her how you feel... Tell her what you like about her, and that she's really cool, and yeah..." Sandy looked at Maika's face and shyly smiled. He grabbed Sandy's paws and they both stood up.

"T-thank you so much, Sandy! You're the best friend a guy like me could ever have!" Maika wrapped his arms around her and gave her a big hug. Sandy did the same and rested her head on his shoulder, smiling, not completely wanting to let go.

"A friend, huh? Well, I guess that's best for right now..." she supposed.

"! Is that a kiss? Or are they just hugging? It looks more like a hug..." Harmony thought to herself. "So you've finally moved on, Maika?" She was walking behind Boss, but was looking back through a window watching Maika and Sandy. "I guess... I need to move on, too..."

"Harmony, there's something I've been wanting to tell you..." Boss turned around and held on to Harmony's paws. "Ever since you first came I've been mesmerized by how beautiful you look."

"Hehe, it kinda comes with the job..." Harmony shook her wand a little bit and smiled. "You know, being an ugly love ham-goddess just won't do."

Boss moved in a little closer. "Harmony..."


"I gotta go see what's happening right away!" Maika rushed out the door, making the daydreaming Sandy nearly fall over.

"O... okay... Good luck!" Sandy went back to Pashmina and Bijou to chit-chat.

Maika rushed out of the door and saw Boss and Harmony standing in an open area. "Not a lot around for me to hide in nearby..." He scanned the area but only found a small bush. "Guess that has to do..." Maika snuck to the bush and tried to listen in, but he couldn't hear anything other than muffling coming from Boss and Harmony. He peeked through a small opening and saw Boss holding on to her closely.

"Harmony..." Boss said again, "I want you to be my ham-girl..."

"But, don't you like Bijou?"

Boss thought back on all the memories he had with Bijou. She was a great girl - pretty, funny, adoring, everything he wanted, but he could see her slowly slipping away from him, and he had to move on. "She's nothing compared to you, Harmony," Boss told her. He moved even closer.

"! I... I can't just let this happen!" Maika stood up, but then sat back down. "If she's moved on... there's nothing I can do..." He started to sink away back into the clubhouse when Harmony turned around and saw him.

"Maika!" She let go of Boss's hands and went to go after him, but she just froze. "I don't know what you want anymore..." She laid backwards and Boss held on to her, his arms wrapping around above her chest. Harmony closed her eyes and wished for a miracle.

Maika turned around, filled with indecision and anger. "What am I doing? I can't just stand by while some other ham takes Harmony away from me! I just won't have it!" Boss let go of Harmony as Maika walked closer to them.

Harmony stared deep into Maika's passionate eyes as he spoke to her. "Harmony... there comes a time in every ham's life where he's faced with something he doesn't completely understand. He doesn't know which way to turn or what to think - he only has his feelings deep inside his heart." Maika made a fist and spoke even louder. "And those feelings are telling me not to give up on you! Harmony, I..." He lowered his head, "I've been looking to the sky to find my angel..." Maika looked back up at Harmony, with tears in his eyes. "...But I know now that my angel has been right here the whole time... You're the only one I wanna be with; the only girl for me is you!"

Harmony jumped into Maika's arms, almost knocking him down. Boss just stood there, shocked. "I was so close," Boss began to say. "I'm... I'm not giving up, either!" Boss pointed to Maika saying "you hear that, ham! I'm not letting her slip out of my arms so easily so back off!"

By now, the ham-hams inside the clubhouse heard the commotion and ran outside.

"Oh no! They could start fighting!" Hamtaro rushed towards Maika and Boss, hoping he could stop an all-out brawl over Harmony.

"What have I caused...?" Harmony backed away from them, nearing the group. "I'm no love goddess... All I've caused is hatred..."
