Hamtaro & Oxnard: Matchmakers Extraordinaire by Laura McConnell

Chapter Three: An Unlikely Guy For Pashmina

"My dearest Pashmina, here are some beautiful flowers, even though they can never measure up to your beauty." Dexter said, handing her flowers.

"Oh quit bugging her with you lame poetry & here you go Pashmina! Sunflower seeds my gorgeous!" Howdy said.

"My present was better!"

"No mine!"

"No mine!"

"NO MINE!"

"NO MINE!"

"I SAID MINE YOU STUPID UM, WELL-MANNERED HAMSTER!"

"WELL AT LEAST I HAVE MANNERS UNLIKE COUGHYOUCOUGH!"

"WELL AT LEAST I WASN'T STARING AT HAMTARO'S A-"

"SHUT UP!" Pashmina screamed, "JUST SHUT UP OKAY?"

"Now look what you did!"

"No you did it with your stupid flowers!"

Bijou, who was Stan's current crush, however got a different greeting. "Hey Bijou baby," Stan said, "Here's some chocolate that almost as delicious as you."

So the line was cheesy but she wished Dexter or Howdy would give her some cheesy flirty romance lines & some chocolate.

"No zhanks Stan." Bijou said, "I think I well give it to Pashmina."

Pashmina looked down at the ground & walked over & sat down next to Sandy. "What's wrong Pash?" Sandy asked.

"I, can I talk to you?" Pashmina asked. Why couldn't she tell her friends how she felt about a certain hamster? Why?

"Well duh Mina! You are my best friend!" Sandy said, taking her outside, "What is it?"

"I like someone." She said.

"WHO?" Sandy said, obviously dying to know.

"I like… PANDA!" Pashmina said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Pashmina had her arms on either side of the sink in the bathroom & was crying. What had happened? Sandy had told Panda that Pashmina liked him & Panda liked her & now she had a date with him. "It's not fair! The hamster I like is-"

"It better not be Stan!" said four cold voices from the shadows.

"Flora, Cynthia, Courtney, &… Bijou?" Pashmina asked.

"That's right Pashmina. Stan belongs to me!" Bijou said.

"No, he belongs to me!" Flora said.

"ME!" That was Courtney.

"ME!" That was Cynthia.

The only word that was heard was 'me' for fifteen minutes & straight & Pashmina had finally had it!

"SHUT UP! ALL OF YOU! STAN ISN'T ANYONES PROPERTY & I HAVE A BETTER CHANCE WITH HIM THEN YOU WITHCHES BECAUSE AT LEAST I DON'T WORRY IF ONE SEQUEN FALLS OF MY PURSE SO JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Pashmina burst out.

All four girls rushed out. Pashmina collapsed on the floor & started crying.

"Pashy baby, is something wrong?" a voice said.

She looked up & saw it was Stan. "Stan…" she murmured. She got up & ran to him, throwing her arms around his neck & crying into his shoulder.

Stan put his comforting arms around her tightly. "It's okay Pashmina. What's wrong anyway."

"Bijou hates me…" Pashmina whimpered.

"Why?" Stan asked.

Pashmina then realized that she couldn't tell him so she lied, "Because I… um… used her lip gloss!"

Stan rolled his eyes. Oh man she looks so nice I could just slam her against the wall &-

"Stan?" Pashmina asked.

"Hm?"

"I lo-Thanks." She said.

"No problem babe, no problem."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was the day for her date with Panda. Pashmina came downstairs wearing a long black skirt & a white tank top. "Hey Pash, you look nice." Panda said, offering her his arm.

"Thanks." Pashmina said quietly.

"Is something wrong?" Panda asked.

"No." Pashmina said.

As they were driving Pashmina began flipping radio stations. "But you won't get to see the tears I cry, Behind These Hazel E-"

Flip.

"I thought you liked Kelly Clarkson." Panda commented.

"I do." "Because Of You I find it hard to trust not only me but everyone around me because of you-"

Flip.

"Heartbreaker you got the best of me! But I just keep on coming back in-"

Flip.

"When I think of our untimely end & everything we could have been I cry. Baby I-"

Flip.

"Remember when you broke your foot my jumping out the second floor? I'm not Okay. I'm not Okay. I'm not Ok-"

Flip.

"Don't want to be an American Idiot. Don't want a nation controlled by the m-"

Flip.

"I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have known don't know where it goes but it's on-"

Flip.

"Don't Bother-"

Flip.

"Dance the night a-"

"What the-" Pashmina muttered.

"You broke through all of my confusion! How did you know just where I would b-"

Pashmina felt like screaming but instead she just cut off the radio. Each song reminded her of Stan.

"What's wrong?" Panda asked.

"I just… don't feel like listening to the radio now."

"We can listen to a C.D." Panda suggested, sticking in a C.D.

"I want to be the minority, I don't need you're a-"

"NO!" Pashmina screamed, ejecting the C.D.

Panda looked at her like she was insane.

"I mean no. What I meant was I don't feel like listening to music now." She lied.

"Oh ok." Panda said, "We're her anyway."

The got out & walked into the restraunt. And guess who the saw? Stan. On a date with… Flora!

"Hey Stan!" Panda said.

"Hey Panda, are you & Pashmina…?"

"Yeah. We're on a date. You & Flora…?"

"Yeah." Stan mumbled, pushing Flora off when she went to wrap her arm around his.

"Hey, the waiter's taking a long time Stanny-Stan," Flora corrected herself when she received a killer glare from Stan, "I think I'll go check."

"I'll come with you! Me & Pashy-Pashmina," Panda corrected himself when he received a killer glare from Pashmina.

The two teens walked off in search of some waiters when Pashmina asked, "So can I sit down?"

"Sure." Stan jumped.

Pashmina sat down. "So, you & Flora?"

"I don't like her & we aren't going together. I'm going out with her so she'll shut up!" Stan explained, "And because the girl I like likes someone else." He muttered.

Pashmina didn't hear the last the last part however. "Oh ok." She said.

"I didn't mean it when I said

I didn't love you so

I should have held on tight

I never should have let you go

I didn't know nothing,

I was stupid, I was foolish

I was lying to myself

I couldn't have fathomed

I would ever be without your love

Never imagined I'd be sitting

Here beside myself

Guess I didn't know you

Guess I didn't know me

But I thought I knew everything

I never felt"

Mariah Carey's music video began playing & Pashmina began to absentmindedly sing along.

"The feeling that I'm feeling

Now that I don't hear your voice

Or have your touch and kiss your lips

Cause I don't have a choice

Oh what I wouldn't give

To have you lying by my side

Right here cause baby"Pashmina sang.

"You have a nice voice. But it's not as good as mine." Stan teased.

"Like you have a good voice," Pashmina rolled her eyes, "When you left I lost a part of me

It's still so hard to believe

Come back baby please 'cause

We belong together

Who else am I gonna lean on when times get rough

Who's gonna talk to me on the phone

Till the sun comes up

Who's gonna take your place

There ain't nobody better

Oh baby baby

We belong together"

"I so do!" Stan said, "I'll prove it to you."

"I can't sleep at night

When you are on my mind

Bobby Womack's on the radio

Singing to me "If You Think You're Lonely Now"

Wait a minute this is too deep

I gotta change the station

So I turn the dial tryin' to catch a break

And then I hear Babyface

"I Only Think Of You" and it's breakin' my heart

I'm tryin' to keep it together but I'm falling apart

I'm feeling all out of my element

Throwing things, crying tryin'

To figure out where the hell I went wrong

The pain reflected in this song

Ain't even half of what I'm feeling inside

I need you, need you back in my life baby" Pashmina sang, "Sing." She ordered.

Stan politely waited for Pashmina to finish her song before he stuck a C.D in to sing to.

Some random hamster had a guitar & Stan grabbed it from him. "I'll just barrow this, k?" then he jumped on the table. "Well if you wanted honesty,
That's all you had to say
I never want to let you down or have you go,
It's better off this way!" Stan sang, playing his guitar. He pulled Pashmina onto the table, "For all the dirty looks,
The photographs your boyfriend took,
Remember when you broke your foot from jumping out the second floor?" Stan sang.

Pashmina laughed when she realized what song it was.

"I'm not okay,
I'm not okay,
I'm not okay,
You wear me out." Stan sang, jumping to another table, pulling Pashmina with him & they landed in someone's mashed potatoes!

Mash potatoes slammed the person in the face. "Ooops?" Pashmina suggested weakly.

They went to throw their chicken at the young teens but Stan & Pashmina jumped onto the buffet accidentally landing on the ladle for the applesauce & flinging that in someone's face! "what'll it take to show you that it's not the life it seems?
(I'm not okay)
I've told you time and time again, you sing the words
But don't know what it means"

The young girl who had received a face full of applesauce burst into tears & her boyfriend stood up, grabbing a banana pie & walking towards Stan & Pashmina dangerously.

"I'm not okay)
To be a joke and look
Another line without a hook
I held you close as we both shook for the last time,
Take a good hard look!" Stan sang into a microphone that oh so conveniently had been there.

"You are so going to get it… Gerard!" he said.

"Oh really now?" Stan asked, jumping onto the salad bar & stepping on the ranch dressing ladle & ranch dressing hit the guy in the face! ""I'm not okay,
I'm not okay,
I'm not okay,
You wear me out." Stan sang, "And I hate to break it to you, but my name is Stan!"

The girls were going crazy. "Forget about the dirty looks,
The photographs your boyfriend took,
You said you'd read me like a book,
But the pages all are torn and frayed!" Stan sang.

The guy blindly threw the pie & hit… PANDA! Panda spit out banana & said, "AGGGGHHHH!" & threw some coffee at him but it hit Pashmina!

"PAAAAAAAAANDAAAAAAAAAAAA! THAT'S NO WAY TO TREAT YOUR DATE!" Pashmina shrieked, throwing broccoli at him. Then the food fight officially began!

"Man this is fun!" Stan said, "I'm okay...
I'm okay!(screams)
I'm okay, now
(I'm okay, now)
But you really need to listen to me,
because I'm telling you the truth
I mean this.
I'm okay!

I'm not okay
I'm not okay
Well, I'm not okay,
I'm not o-fucking-Kay !
I'm not okay,
I'm not okay!" Stan finished, "So Pashy?"

"You have a hot voice!" Pashmina said, ducking from an orange cream pie causing it to hit Stan's legs since he jumped up in the air at the moment & started playing his guitar again!

"I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
down with the moral majority
'cause I want to be the minority" Stan sang, rapidly squirting mustard at who had thrown the pie.

Pashmina went charging at Flora spraying bar-b-q & it was just luck Flora was wearing a WHITE dress!

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" she shrieked, squirting steak sauce at Pashmina.

"I pledge allegiance to the underworld
one nation under dog
there of which I stand alone
a face in the crowd
unsung, against the mold
without a doubt.
singled out
the only way I know" Stan sang, still firing mustard. Now how can a guy play a guitar, sing, & squirt mustard at the same time? God knows!

The boyfriend was hitting everyone applesauce & Pashmina had stolen Flora's ketchup!

"I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
down with the moral majority
'cause I want to be the minority" Stan sang, hitting Panda in the face with mustard

"AH! THE MUSTARD! IT BURNS MY EYES!" Panda screamed.

"stepped out of the line
like a sheep runs from the herd
marching out of time
to my own beat now
the only way I know" Stan sang, shrugging.

Sandy & Kether walked in holding hands at that moment & got hit with Pashmina's ketchup.

"OMG! I'm so sorry!" Pashmina screamed over the noise.

"one light, one mind
flashing in the dark
blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"for crying out loud" she screamed unto me
a free for all
fuck 'em all
"you are your own sight"" Stan sang, hitting Kether's hair with the mustard, knowing it would turn him on. Kether's pride & joy was his shoulder length black hair.

"Who did that?" Kether said, through clenched teeth.

"HE DID!" Sandy screamed, pointing at the guy with applesauce.

Kether glared at him with a look that could kill. He picked up a tray of cupcakes & started pummeling the applesauce guy with them.

"I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
down with the moral majority
'cause I want to be the minority" Stan sang.

"Now Kether Dahling, don't you think your overreacting a little bit too much?" Sandy's fingers showed about a millimeter.

Before he could answer, Stan hit Sandy's pants, which were her favorite. They were black spandex-y material & they had buckles all the way down the side.

"WHO DID THAT?" Sandy demanded.

"HE DID!" Kether yelled, pointing to the applesauce guy.

Sandy started pummeling him with Popsicles along with her boyfriend!

"one light, one mind
flashing in the dark
blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"for crying out loud" she screamed unto me
a free for all
fuck 'em all
"you are your own sight"" Stan sang, smiling.

"OH PAAAAAAAAAAAASHMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINA! COME OUT & PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!" Flora yelled, chasing Pashmina around.

"I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
down with the moral majority
'cause I want to be the minority
'cause I want to be the minority
'cause I want to be the minority
'cause I want to be the minority
'cause I want to be the minority" Stan finished.

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" The manger screamed.

"Boss," the waiters had all been involved too!

"YOU ARE ALL FIRED! FIRED I TELL YOU! AND EVERYONE OUT! OUT I TELL YOU!" Everyone went flying the restraunt.

Stan was laying on his back & Pashmina was laying on top of him. They were both laughing hysterically.

Flora was tempted to scream 'GIVE ME MY DATE BACK!' but Panda said, "Give it up. You'll never get an answer."

Flora went into her pouting mode but took his advice & left the two laughing teens.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Pashmina was sitting in the clubhouse with the rest of the group. "Hey Hamtaro, Oxnard, do me a favor!" she said.

"What is it Pashmina?" Hamtaro asked.

"Um… could you maybe ask Stan if he likes me?" Pashmina asked, blushing the heck out of herself.

"AH! NOT AGAAAAAAAAAIN!" Hamtaro screamed.

"WHAT?" Pashmina asked.

Hamtaro whistled innocently. "Nothing!" he said quickly.

Pashmina gave him a weird look but pursued no farther. "So can you do it?"

"I guess…" Oxnard said reluctantly.

"Great! Go ask him!" Pashmina encouraged.

Oxnard & Hamtaro went over to Stan. "Um, Mr. Stan sir, who do you, um like?" Oxnard asked.

"Look, tell whatever crazed girl it is to get off her butt & ask me herself!" Stan snapped, never ever thinking it was Pashmina!

Oxnard gulped & walked back to Pashmina. "Um, Miss Pashmina he said…" Oxnard then burst into tears & ran off.

"What?" she asked.

"He said 'Look, tell whatever crazed girl it is to get off her butt & ask me herself!'" Hamtaro said, "I'm sorry."

"Don't be." Pashmina said, getting up & walking over to Stan. "Stan?"

"Yeah Pashy?"

"I LIKE YOU!" she screamed in his face, blushing crimson when everyone turned to stare, "There. I told you myself. Happy now?"

Stan looked down & then moved his lips towards her & then…

"PASHMINA!" Sandy screamed, "THIS IS ALL WRONG! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LIKE PANDA!"

Pashmina laughed. "I never did, I just didn't want to tell you the truth!" Pashmina said, then she grabbed Stan's head & said, "Where were we?"

"Right here." He said, grabbing her & kissing her.

"Yet again we've… not helped anyone." Hamtaro said.

"Why us Hamtaro, why?" Oxnard asked.

"If I knew, wouldn't I know how to avoid it?" Hamtaro shouted.

"What?" Oxnard asked.

Hamtaro whistled innocently again. "I didn't say anything."
