Hamtaro Vs. Boss

Chapter 9

The Third Round: Is this the End?

A few days passed by, making Hamtaro feeling slighly nervous. What would Boss pick? What was it that took him so long to decide?

Was it some type of sick torture? Would there be a gruelling sacrifice involved?

Another day ended. It seemed as though time was flashing right before his eyes. And then he came. Boss came for him.

"Hey little runt!" Boss greeted. "I have the third challenge ready and set up for our use." 'Oh no,' thought Hamtaro. 'He had to set it up. What could it be?'

"O-okay," replied Hamtaro, trying to stop the nervousness of his voice.

The two hamsters stopped by a house to retrieve Oxnard, as he was their only judge.

"Come one!" ordered Boss. "We're not far from where the next challenge is. Hurry up and don't fall behind." Not wanting to be left alone in the late afternoon, nearly dark out, they quickly scurried after him.

"This is our final challenge!" announced Boss. Oxnard and Hamtaro could only stare. They could see garbage. That was all. There was no other word to describe. It stunk, it was dirty and it was old.

"What do we do here?" asked Hamtaro in a confused tone. Boss smirked. He was so clever.

"This," he began, hoping for some drama, or suspense, "is where we shall," Hamtaro looked at him with a bored expression, "have our race!" Hamtaro looked surprised.

"Here?" he questioned. Boss nodded. "Why here? It's so dirty and littered."

"But that's the genius of it all!" exclaimed Boss excitedly. "A race, straight of curved is no fun. But we have obstacles! This will make itway more exciting!" The smaller hamster of the two nodded, digesting the other's words.

"Okay." Hamtaro lined up where Boss had drawn a small, nearly invisible, line on the ground. They both went down, eager to begin their race.

"Ready?" asked Oxnard. The two competitors nodded. "Okay then! Ready, set, go!" He waved his sunflower seed into the air and down again.

Hamtaro was much faster than Boss, anyone could have told you that. But unfortunately for him, his path was much harder. He could not break through the piles like Boss could and had to resort of jumping and climbing over his obstacles.

Boss was not nearly as fast as Hamtaro, but he had a slightly easier path. And then he saw it. The finish line.

Hamtaro looked ahead to see it as well. With renewed strength, he ran to it, thinking only of Bijou and the power of love. (a/n: tee hee!) Boss did as well.

They were neck in neck! Only mere seconds away from one of them being victorious! Who would win? And then -

Oxnard yelled out, "The winner is..."
