YAY! I got some reviews! Thank you so much to all of you that reviewed! I wasn't expecting even one review so thanks to all of you again. So since I got some reviews I decided to post the second chapter, see how nice I am? Anyway here's the chap.

Murmurs immediately broke out among the gang at Harmony's words, Hamtaro who didn't say anything at first, heard some of their conversations….

"Ohhh what do you think it will be?" Pashmina asked eagerly to her fellow girls.

"Vell she iz after all she is the goddess of love so…" Bijou said leaving her sentence hanging so they could ponder the possibilities of what the news might be.

"Like maybe there is a new couple?" Sandy thought out loud. There were nods of agreement from Bijou and Pashmina. But before they could say anymore on the matter a small irritated voice spoke out,

"Hey" Penelope said defensively, "just because I just learned how to talk doesn't mean that I can't say my share of the whatever thing that you guys were talking about." The small girl pointed out for everyone to hear.

"Oh I'm sorry Penny." Pashmina said warmly, "From now on you can join in any conversation you want to, unless we say that you shouldn't. Ok?" Pashmina said fairly while Penelope nodded.

"So does that mean that I can join you guys now?" she said hopefully.

"Like no" Sandy answered plainly.

"Aw you guys are no fun." Penelope muttered as she walked away to sulk.

Hamtaro had a hard time containing his laughter, little Penny had always tried to trick Pashmina into letting her join in on the older girls conversations.

The boys had also broken into whispers, but however they weren't as enthusiastic. They would make suggestions about what the announcement could be to each other every now and then, but most of them didn't seem to care what the news was about very much.

"I wonder if it is something that could help me win Pashmina's heart." Dexter said with a hopeful look in his eyes.

"Not a chance glasses boy, yall won't be able to win Pashy's heart because I'm a going to." Howdy shot back.

"Will not!"

"Will so!"

"WILL NOT!"

"WILL SO!"

Howdy and Dexter both jumped on to each other at the same time, raising dust off the floor as they fought. The rest of the on lookers soon forgot the fighting pair on the floor and continued with their own conversations.

"Maybe it's something educational!" Maxwell said holding his book to his chest.

"No I don't think so," Oxnard interjected, "I mean she is the angle of love…..or at least that's what they call her." He said gesturing at the girls on the other side of the room.

Maxwell sighed, "I suppose that your right, it would be unethical for Harmony to come all the way here just to announce that another book had been published."

"Your right she's probably here to give us all presents! Maybe I'll get a cap!" Cappy said gleefully clutching his hat in his hands while running around in a big circle.

"Now Cappy I highly doubt that Harmony is here to give us presents." Maxwell explained to the young boy.

"Oh…."Cappy sighed then perked up, "Maybe she's here to give us money so that I can buy a new hat!" Cappy yelled running faster in a circle until he ran into Boss.

"No she's not here to give us money or presents." He explained," She's probably here to help me win Bijou's love!" Boss said dreamily.

"ewww that's gross." Cappy groaned, "I'm going somewhere so I can throw up," he said pretending like he was sick and running off again.

"But Boss I thought that you didn't like Bijou anymore, I heard that you had a new girlfriend." Oxnard said his mouth full of food.

"Yes Boss I also heard that." Maxwell agreed.

"Yeah? Well that was before Melody broke up with me….. and I don't even know why!" Boss grimaced, "So I decided to go back to Bijou." He said defensively

"So your just going from girl to girl!?" Maxwell asked in anger.

"No that's not what I meant." Boss said quickly, "Once I figured out that I couldn't be with Bijou I deiced to try and get over her by getting a girlfriend, but as you can see that didn't work…" Boss explained.

That was when Hamtaro couldn't take any of it any more, he had to get Bijou and make her his own (see where I got the title?) he had to stop Boss from getting her first. But before he could work out a plan, Harmony finally spoke, "Alright alright calm down I need to tell you the news remember? Yes ok the terrific news is we're going to have a dance!" She yelled in joy. "But, before you start talking I have to tell you something important, now, the boys have to ask the girls to the dance, not the other way around." She finished. Her smile from before still on her face.

Again the hall erupted into wishers and giggles, but Hamtaro didn't hear anything this time, he was to busy keeping his eyes on Boss who was to Hamtaro's utmost displeasure heading toward Bijou with a determined look on his face. As Boss drew nearer to Bijou, so did Hamtaro, Boss whom had finally noticed this, sped up, so of course he had reached Bijou first. Once he was right in front of Bijou, he cleared his throat rather loudly.

"Uh listen Bijou……. Um wwwould you like to to um go on a walk wwith me?" He asked his voice breaking near the end of the sentence.

"Oh bonjour Bozz all vight, I vill go on a valk with you of course." Bijou said somewhat reluctantly, but had made her choice by the pleading look on Boss's face.

Hamtaro's world seemed to crumble around him as he watched Boss and his crush walk out the back door together, his shoulders fell in a defeated sort of way, he didn't know how he would get Bijou now. Hamtaro sighed and began to drag his feet up the stairs, but stopped when an idea hit him, he swung around and was out the door after Boss and Bijou, all energy restored. When he got outside Hamtaro wildly looked around searching for Boss and Bijou, once he spotted them, he quietly slipped into the underbrush around the path that Boss was following. He began to follow the two teenagers while being careful to not let them hear him, but positioning him self so he could hear any and every poor conversation starter Boss could come up with.

"So uh Bijou, nnice ribbons." Boss said lamely

"Oh do you like zhem?" she asked smiling, "Hamtaro gave zhem to me for Chriztmaz." She said still smiling fondly at the thought of her ribbons.

"Oh..." Boss said so what disheveled by her commit about Hamtaro while he was walking with her. "But you still liked the ribbons I gave you too don't you?" Boss asked hopefully.

"Oh yes I did" she said with less joy in her voice, "green is a very nice color for ribbons." She said in fake cheerfulness avoiding Boss's eyes, instead she concentrated on staring at the water that they could now see through the trees.

But Boss seemed happy with Bijou's joy, even if it was fake because he just continued walking with a smug look on his face.

Hamtaro had been slowly making his way around all of the things that could make even the smallest noise in the silence, so he could not be noticed as he snuck around. Everything had been going perfectly before he had accidentally stepped on a twig and it making aloud snap as it broke underneath his right shoe. He stood stock still hoping, praying that no one heard it, but luck wasn't on his side today, for Bijou turned her head at the noise. Hamtaro moved out of sight as quick as his legs would allow him, but he wasn't quick enough still, because Bijou had saw a flash of orange and had heard a rustle in the leaves. Also Hamtaro was sure that he had seen her send a small wave his way. Relief spread through his body, not only because Bijou was not going to point him out, but because Boss hadn't even heard the loud snap that the twig had made, for he just continued to grin in that giddy way.

"Bozz," Bijou said uncertainly, "I've been meaning to ask you vhy you vanted to go on a valk wiz me in zhe first place?" Bijou asked looking straight at him this time.

"Oh yeah well I um," Boss tried to say while his face got redder and redder, "well you see Bijou, I um kinda sorta haveacrushonyou." He said all at once."

Bijou cocked her head to the right a little and said "I am zorry Bozz but I did not understand you." She explained.

Boss sighed as he stopped her close to the shore of the lake, "Ok" Boss said to himself, "I've practiced this a lot so I should be able to say it this time…" he said reassuring himself quietly before taking a deep breath to get ready for what he was about to say. "Bijou I think no I'm sure that I'm in love with you." He said simply, "I only got girlfriend because I was trying to gget over you,"

He said his voice giving way as he slowly took a step closer to her.

Bijou looked extremely uncomfortable as she half stepped back as Boss stepped forward, "Bozz I am zorry but I do not return the feeling." she said, but not quickly enough as Boss took one more half step closer to Bijou. "Bozz," she said while reacting to Boss as she took one more step back, but she could not finish her sentence due her foot slipping, as she fell in to the water.

Bijou looked horrified, "HAMTARO! HELP ME! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM!!!!!" She screamed the last word being muffled by her head going under the icy water………
