Hello everyone, this is my first fan-fic, hope you all enjoy it. This story is going to be a little different than the average Hamtaro fic, since it will involve a new character (I might add a few others down the line, but we shall see.)
Btw: In the show, I noticed that the Hamsters had only four digits on their paws (I could be wrong, but if I am, then pretend that they did lol) The reason for this is that it plays a minor role in the story as it develops, you shall see.
Disclaimer: I don't own the rights toany of the Hamtaro characters, the club-house, the hamtaro games, etc etc etc… The only thing I own is my made up hamster.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the past 3 days, a big storm has been hitting Tokyo and the surrounding area. With non-stop rain, winds gushing between 50 to 70 km/h, and lighting every few seconds, it's not surprising that a lot of the city was in a black-out. And that also meant that the ham-hams could not go out to the clubhouse, since, for one thing, the storm that has been raging for the past while, and, two, that the owners did not go to school. One of these hams in particular was affected by this, since he wanted to see all his friends and play, and make sure they were alright.
"Hamtaro, you ok little guy?"
"Heke?" Hamtaro snapped out of his trance, and stared at Laura "Yeah, I'm fine Laura; I just wish I could see the others right now." He knew that Laura could not hear his words, but it made him feel better to talk.
"This storm has been going on for three days now, it's worrying me."
"Don't worry Laura, this storm will pass in no time, you'll see." He then turned to the side to look out of the window. "I hope" he whispered, then went inside his hamster house and fell asleep, despite all the noise that the storm was making.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Damit, I hope this storm ends soon, or I'm going to get blown away!" a hamster said to himself. He has pure white fur, with blue eyes, and was just a few centimeters taller than the average hamster. He is also wearing a big heavy winter coat, which acted double as a raincoat, since it was waterproof, as well as a pair of blue jeans. He knew that most, if not all other hamsters never did wear a lot of clothes, but he liked them anyway.
"Damn Brian, you just had to get out of your cave to get some food, didn't you?" he spoke to himself. "You could have just stayed where you were, but no, you had to drag your ass out of the warm and dry cave." He also had a sharp tongue, he always thought that there was no better way to relieve stress than to give off a loud swear word.
Suddenly, his nose started to twitch, and started to sniff the air. Then he gave himself a smile "Finally, I found another hamster, maybe he, or she will have a comfortable place for me to dry off?"
But, when he neared the destination of his nose, he heard a loud bang, followed by a crack. He looked up, and only saw two things. The first one was were the lightning had struck, which was a tree, and the second, was a branch that was as thick as himself fall on top of his head, then passed out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hamtaro, oh Hamtaro…wake up you silly hamster."
Hamtaro rose out of the woodchips of his hamster house, and then yawned loudly. He only got a few hours sleep, thanks to the storm. But something was different about today, it was quiet; in fact, he didn't hear a single thing except Laura talking. Completely awake now, and forgetting his lack of sleep, he rushed out of his house and ran to the door of his cage, and just stood there, staring at the beautiful site that greeted him, a beautiful sunny day, with not a single cloud in the sky. He smiled; today he was going to see his friends. He started running in his wheel at an alarming rate, because of all his excitement.
"Yay, I'm going to be able to see everyone today, and play outside all day!"
Laura just looked at her hamster and giggled a bit. "I know your happy for the nice day, but I have to go to school, so I won't be able to play with you today little guy, but I promise I will once I get back, k? Oh, I got to go now; Kauna is waiting for me outside. I wonder if she had the power outage as well, bye Hamtaro!"
"Bye Laura!"
Once she closed the door, and he was sure that she was gone, he practically tore down the door of his cage and climbed down to were his "secret" escape route was. He then slid down the pipe and landed on Brandy's nose. "Thanks Brandy, isn't it a wonderful day? Sorry I can't play with you today, but I want to go check on the others to see if they are alright. Take care of the house while I'm gone, ok?"
Brandy just yawned loudly
Hamtaro sweat dropped "Guess he is also tired of the storm." He then ran off in the direction of the clubhouse. On his way, he met up with Oxnard, who was eating a sunflower seed.
"Morning Oxnard, eating breakfast I see?"
"Oh hi Hamtaro, glad to see that you are ok, were you sacred of the stormsthat passed these few days, it was huge!"
"Only a bit, but it wasn't that bad, was it?"
"You have got to be kidding me? I was hiding under my woodchips praying that it would go away."
"Well, looks like your prayers have been answered Oxy. Come on, lets go see the others!"
And so the two hams started running in the direction of the clubhouse, hopping to see all of their friends safe and sound.
But, upon arriving near it, they saw a bunch of hams hanging out near the tree of the clubhouse. Their curiosity flared up, and so went to investigate. When they arrived, they saw Boss, Maxwell, Panda and Cappy bunched up.
"Hamha everyone!" Hamtaro and Oxnard chorused.
"Oh, hamha Hamtaro, Oxnard." Boss said, but it was a half-hearted attempt to be nice, and that made Hamtaro became confused.
"Heke? What's wrong did anything bad happen?"
"You could say that." replied Maxwell, who was kneeling on the dirt beside some kind of bundle.
"What is that guys?" Oxnard said, unsure of what was going on.
"Actually, the better question is who this is?"
"You mean that's a ham?"
"Yep, and I don't know who it is, but he is not in good condition. I can't really say what he has, but I'm sure Nurse Ham will know. Panda, could you go get her?"
"Sure thing Maxwell!" Then off he went, going as fast as his paws would carry him.
Hamtaro looked closer, and sure enough, there, out of the strange clothing, was a white hamster. His heart leapt for a moment, thinking that this was Bijoux.
"No, Hamtaro, this isn't Bijoux." Hamtaro jumped, because Boss must have noticed his facial expression.
"Well, let's bring him inside; I'm sure he will tell us all about it when he wakes up."
So, they put him inside Cappy's pot (which he used as a hat), and together, they dragged the unconscious hamster inside the clubhouse.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About an hour later, all the hams arrived at the clubhouse, and where very happy about seing everyone in one piece; or so they thought. When Hamtaro was done explaining and describing what happened, they were all silent.
Bijoux was the first one to break the silence. "Maybe we should go and check up on our stranger, non?"
"Yeah, I bet we could get him to feel better, right Penelope." This was of course Pashmina talking.
"Ookyoo Ookyoo!"
However, even though most of the ham-hams agreed, Maxwell was thinking differently. "We don't know what he has, he looks like he has some sort of cold or virus, and we don't know if it's contagious."
"Then were on earth is Nurse Ham, didn't Panda go to look for her?" Boss asked, frustrated.
"Well then turn around, because I did go look for her Boss, and brought her here to check up on our hamster." Panda said. Boss started blushing, for looking so idiotic in front of Bijoux.
"Uh, well, yeah, thanks Panda." Boss mumbled.
"Hamha everyone" Nurse Ham said
"Hamha Nurse Ham" Everyone chorused
"Now, were is this patient I keep hearing about?"
Maxwell pointed to a door on the right side of the clubhouse. "He is in the spare bedroom; we didn't touch him or go near him, just in case."
"A good thing you did, now, could you come with me Max, you might be able to help me diagnose him"
Maxwell looked nervous, and Nurse Ham realized what he was nervous about, and burst out laughing. "Don't worry Maxwell; I havea spare mask I can give you."
"Thank you Nurse", then they both walked into the room, to see this mysterious hamster.
"I, like hope that the hamster is going to be ok" Sandy said worriedly.
"Like, don't worry little sister, I'm sure that whoever it is, will be ok, and probably cute too!" Stan exclaimed.
"Your such a dork, how do we know she's a girl?"
"Because I can sense them a mile away baby!"
"Don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing"
"For all the ladies out there, it's the best thing that could ever happen to them"
"Maybe it is a boy, you never know" Bijoux stated
"Whoever it is, I bet they like to play" Hamtaro said
"I'm bored, let do something while we wait" Howdy said
"I, unfortunately, have to agree with Howdy, let's do something to pass the time, while we wait for our hamster's health diagnostic." said Dexter.
Everyone agreed, and so, for the next hour or so, they played cards, painted, eat, or sleep (for snoozer). Then, Maxwell emerged from the room, with a grim look on his face.
Sandy rushed up to him "Maxy, what's wrong?"
Maxwell could only shake his head "It's not good guys; we know that what he has is not contagious, thankfully for us. However, he is in a weak state right now, with a blow to the head like that, he could be out for a long time, and possibly has amnesia. And, to make matters worse, he might not survive." The last word was a whisper, but everyone in the room gasped. They never thought that he was that bad.
Everyone gathered closer together, while Sandy was hugging Maxwell tightly. "Oh Maxwell, what can we do to help?" She said with tears in her eyes.
Maxwell blushed, but then shook his head. "We can't do much to help him, only when Nurse Ham asks for it. She will check on him once a day, to monitor his condition. But until then, I suggest that we play outside, and make as little noise as possible, as long as it's ok to keep him here Boss, the Nurse says that she is afraid to move him until she is sure she fully knows the extent of his injuries."
Everyone looked at Boss, who could only nod "It's not a problem, I can check on him as well."
Nurse Ham walked into the room. "I am sure that Maxwell has already told you what I thought of his condition, and so far, there is no difference, all we can do now is hope. He is an odd hamster though-"
Sandy whispered in Stan's ear "See, it wasa boy all along!" Which made Stan unhappy
"- For one thing, he has five fingers and toes, instead of the four that we have"
Everyone looked a little freaked out by this, but they didn't say anything, knowing that this hamster will need to have friends if he is going to make a speedy recovery.
"And another, his vocal cords are, well, in a sense, more abused than normal, which mean that he could be a rough hamster, one that shouts a lot, or he likes to talk way too much."
Now everyone looked terrified of him, he sounded like a monster, and, thanks to Oxnard's imagination, made everyone shiver in fear."
"But, no matter what or who he is, be nice to him, for he could be a good friend" Nurse Ham finished, seeing their fear grow worse each second. "Bye for now!"
"Bye-Q!" everyone said.
Nurse Ham quietly walks out of the clubhouse, and goes back to the infirmary.
Hamtaro then yawns, quite loudly. "Well, all this excitement is making me tired; I think I will go home."
"That's a good idea Hamtaro; in fact, I think we should all go to bed, seeing as we are tired, and this new hamster isn't going to stir for a while."
"Yeah, I agree, let's go guys" Shouted Cappy.
And so they all left the Clubhouse one by one, until all that was left was Boss and Snoozer. Well, Boss thought, at least I can get a good night sleep. And with that, he yawned, then got into his own room, and fell asleep as soon as his head his pillow.
