Hamtaro: Spring Break-Up!
A/N: Hiya everyone! This is Crystalgurl101 with good news! I HAVE A NEW STORY!(You're reading it.)Anyhow, this was inspired by the TV movie "Zoey 101: Spring Break-Up"--which would explain the title. I just absolutely LOVED the movie that I couldn't help but give it an old-fashioned Hamtaro twist!
There IS gonna be a few things that I'm gonna add to the story cause the movie was a tad bit short, so PLZ don't get mad or anything when you see something different or new.
If you saw the movie, didn't you love it? If you didn't, don't worry. I'll teach you about what happens...and expect a surprise ending too!
Disclaimer: I do not own Hamtaro, WCA(AKA: my version of PCA), Zoey 101, Hawaii, or anything else in this story!
Last Note: BTW, it's human ham(I don't own that either).
Have fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun!

Chapter 1:Pack Your Bags--We'reOff To Hawaii!
"Hey Bijou!" a passing blonde girl waved at fourteen year old Bijou Ribon. The platinum blonde looked up and smiled. She waved back cheerfully and went back to her laptop and continued typing.
It was a gorgeous day at West Coast Academy and every student, teacher and even the pricipals were buzzing here and there, preparing for the big day. As in, the very first day of spring break.
Bijou, however, wasn't worried about packing her bags or calling her folks or any of that stuff. It had all been taken care of. Four days ago. Right now, Bijou wanted to send her parents in Paris an e-mail to let them know how she doing.
About a year or so ago, Bijou had been send to California in America from her parents in France to live with her aunt and uncle. She started her eighth grade year knowing the very little basic english her aunt and uncle had taught her and not knowing anybody at all. That is, until she met Sandy, Pashmina, Penelope, Pepper and Crystal, who was also new to WCA the year Bijou was.
She then met Sandy's twin brother, Stan, Pepper's boyfriend, Oxnard, Penelope's best guyfriend, Cappy, Howdy and Dexter, two guys who were vying for Pashmina's affection. Pretty soon, she had met a whole bunch of new friends who she began to hang out with including Panda, his secret crush, Ringa, Maxwell, Boss, Jingle and last--but most definetaly not least--Hamtaro...who she actually met before anyone else!
Now, about a year and a half ago, Bijou was a completely changed person. She was currently very fluent and familiar with the english language, but mysteriously still had her french accent. Her charming french personality had caught the attention of many new and true friends. And so far, Bijou was loving her life.
Pushing back her silky blonde bangs, Bijou read over the e-mail she was sending her parents one last time before sending it.
Dear Mother and Father,
Bonjour! It's moi, Bijou! See, I told you I would not forget my french background(my french accent has still not gone away)! Well, anyways, everybody here at WCA is getting ready for the "Spring Break." Remember what I told you about the spring break last year? That it is the American word for the spring vacation?
Right. Well, as for moi, I am very excited for the Spring Break. I am sorry that you cannot send me back to France like last year. But I am not all that disappointed. Why?
Do you remember my friend, Crystal, that I tell you about every once in a while? That wealthy girl who's parents run that American hotel business? And the total opposite of that other American hotel heiress, Paris Hilton, as I describe her sometimes? Well, she invited us to her summer beach house in Hawaii for the vacation(would you believe me when I say it's HER beach house?)!
Unfortunetaly, some of our friends aren't going to be able to go with her to Hawaii. Mainly becaiuse they are going to other places with their families. I am not sure exactly who's going, so I will have to wait for Crystal to tell me.
I am very looking forward to going to Hawaii. I have never been there before, so this will be a very exciting experience. I cannot wait! The vacation will last for two weeks, like last year, so we are staying down there the whole time.(Yes, I got Auntie's permission!)
However, I will miss you very much because I will not spend the vacation with you. But I understand you are too busy and I know I will soon see you during the summer or some other time. Until then, take care. Before I finish this message, yes, I will be good and I will watch the sunblock. I send you all plenty of hugs and kisses. Love you all!
Au revoir!
Your daughter,
Bijou
After looking it over carefully, Bijou clicked "Send" and away it went.
"Hey! Bijou!" Pashmina just then ran up to the french teenager. "Pashmina! Isn't your muzzer going to pick you up in an hour?" Bijou asked her. She knew for a fact that Pashmina wasn't going to Hawaii, which was a shame on account Pashmina was one of her closest friends.
"Well, yeah! But I just wanted one last walk around the beach before I left." Pashmina held up her cellphone. "And I wanna show my parents what the beach outside our school looks like!" Then, she looked down at the laptop in Bijou's lap. "Whatcha doing?" she asked.
"Huh? Oh! I just sent an e-mail to my parents. You know, letting zhem know how I am doing?" Bijou explained. "Cool! Well, wanna come down with me, seeing as which you're done?" Pashmina offered. "Oui! I would love to!" Bijou smiled and nodded eagerly.
She closed her laptop and gently placed it back into her backpack. Then, standing up, she swung the backpack over her shoulder, linked arms with Pashmina and giggled. Then, they happily skipped off to the beach for one last walk before the vacation.
♥ Meanwhile, at the boys' dormatories... ♥
Loud, energetic rock music blared from the stereo in Hamtaro, Stan and Jingle's dorm room. Hamtaro was showering while Stan and Jingle were busy packing their bags for the big day. "Man, I am so psyched for spring break!" Stan exclaimed after tossing Jingle one of his precious song notebooks.
"Tell me about it, Stan! It was also really nice of Crystal to take us all to her summer beach house in Hawaii! Ya' think I'll come up with some new song material there?" he asked. "Uhhh, sure Jingle." Stan said distractedly. Somehow, he had lost focus when he heard Crystal's name.
While Jingle's back was turned, Stan looked over a small box in the bureau by his and Jingle's bunk bed. Inside the box was Stan's cologne. His very special, all-time favorite, that-he-rarely-used-except-in-certain-special-occasions cologne to be exact. Slowly, he reached for the box, snatched it and quickly stuffed it in his cologne--just as Jingle was turning back around. He quickly stood up straight, as if nothing had happened. It's too bad Jingle had already seen something.
"What was that?" he asked curiously. "Like, what was what?" Stan replied innocently. "Oh, don't play dumb with me, dude! You just stuffed something in your backpack. Jingle stated. "Psh! No I didn't!" Stan rolled his eyes. Jingle just cocked an eyebrow.
"Stan you do realize you are very bad at hiding things." Jingle said calmly. "I hide things from Hamtaro!" Stan shrugged. "A talking monkey hit with a Truth Ray could hide things from Hamtaro!" Jingle paused, then smirked. A-HA! So you are hiding something!"
"I am not!" Stan glared. "Are so!" Jingle's smirk grew even wider. Stan wanted to smack it off his face. "I can tell you're hiding something!" Jingle told him. "How?" Stan dared him to answer. "Your eye is twitching." Jingle sighed and casually picked at his vest. "N-No I ain't!" Stan twitched slightly.
"C'mon, let's see." Jingle reached for Stan's backpack. "NO! This is my personal stuff!" Stan held it to his chest. "Just a peek!" Jingle begged, leaning over some more. "Never!" Stan yelled. "Come oooooon!" Jingle struggled to grab it. "MINE!" Stan screamed like a child. "It's a drug, ain't it!" Jingle shouted. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" Stan snapped.
Finally, Jingle rolled his eyes impatiently and backed off. "Okay, FINE! If it's that important to you, I'll repsect your privacy!" he sighed defeatedly. "Thank you Jingle! I'm glad that I have a friend who understands the importance of privacy!" Stan grinned and placed his bag back on Hamtaro's single bed. But no sooner than Jingle had taken three steps towards his belongings, then he dove for the bag. He grabbed it just as Stan looked at him.
"HEY!" Stan immedietaly threw himself at Jingle--but missed him. He landed flat on his face. Smiling triumphantly, Jingle dug through his backpack. Then, his eyes widened as he pulled out Stan's cologne box. "You're bringing your very special, all-time favorite cologne that you rarely use except in certain special occasions because you spend three hundred and fifty dollars on it?" he gasped.
"I spend three hundred and fifteen dollars, thank you very much!" Stan corrected him. "Why Stanley, I am shocked! Why would you bring this to Hawaii?" Jingle asked dramatically. "Cause it's Hawaii! Do you know how many hot girls visit OR even live in Hawaii? Alot, my musical friend! We could totally score some five to fifteen dates down there!" Stan replied.
"Or...!" Jingle sat down on his bed in the lower bunk and rubbed his chin. "Or...?" Stan repeated, confused. "Or...you're bringing that cologne to impress a certain Miss Crystal when you two finally decide to get all cozy in Hawaii!" Jingle finished.
Stan almost choked on his Winterfresh gum. "Whoooooooaaaaaaaaa! Easy there, cowboy! I did not say anything about bringing that thing for Crystal!" Stan held up his hands. "You did just now!" Jingle pointed out. "Wha--? I--! Ugh! Why do you do these things, Jingle?" Stan whined. "I do not like her and I am not bringing it for her!"
But Jingle just rolled his eyes. He layed down on his pillow, his hands tucked behind his head. "Stanley, Stanley, Stanley..." he muttered quietly and tilted his head to look at the redhead. "Why do you bother deny it, Stan? Everyone on campus with at least a D average knows you're obsessed with her!"
Stan blushed. Jingle was right. He did have a crush on Crystal ever since the first day of school last year when she and Bijou Ribon were new students to West Coast Academy. He had been so entranced with her when he first saw her, he had tripped on his skateboard! They were now best friends and he told her everything--except the fact that he was secretly in love with her of course!
Noting the distant look on Stan's face, Jingle decided to stop teasing him and help him for once. "Just tell her how you feel, dude. After all, Hamtaro could tell Bijou how he felt!" he suggested. Stan looked up. "Are you insane! Besides, Bijou told him how she felt, not the other way around!"
"Stan! You've been hiding this for a long time, Just tell her and get it off your chest. What have you got to lose?" Jingle told him. "Whaddaya mean 'what have you got to lose?'! I'd lose my friendship with her! I mean, what if I tell her, but she doesn't feel the same? Do you know how wierd things would be between us then?" Stan replied, the thought scaring him.
Jingle had to admit. Things like rejection and awkwardness was freaky and tough to deal with. "But who knows what she'll say! You just gotta follow your instincts." Jingle advised. "But I can't tell her. Not here. Not now." Stan blushed a little more. "Then tell her in Hawaii!" Jingle said. "No way! It'd be too embarassing!" Stan shook his head. "Just tell her!" Jingle sighed. "I'm not telling her!" Stan refused stubbornly.
"Tell me what?"
Fourteen year old Crystal just then came through the open doorway, a cute little smile on her face. "ACK!" Stan whirled around, his eyes wide. "What the--!" Jingle shot upwards so suddenly, he bonked his head on the bunk above him! He flinched in pain and his hand flew to his head.
"Oh God, Jingle! Are you okay?" Crystal gasped. She turned to Stan. "Did I scare you two that badly?" she asked. Stan couldn't answer, too embarassed that she had heard everything. "I'm fine! I'm fine! Now go ahead, Stan." Jingle just then looked at Stan. "Tell her what you were gonna tell her!"
"Uhhhhhh!" Stan's eyes became little blue dots. He started to sweat slightly when Crystal looked at him. "What is it Stan? What were you gonna say?" Crystal asked, curiousity overwhelming her.
"W-We-W-Well...I-I was go-g-gonna...uhhh...I was gonna tell you...u-ummmm..." Stan rubbed the back of his neck nervously. He reminded himself to make that bump on Jingle's head a thousand times worse the second Crystal left.
But she was still here, waiting for an answer. "Stan?" her adorable smile started to fade. "What were you gonna say?" she cocked her head to the side. "Tell me!" she said. "E-Errrr...uhhh...I-I was gonna tell you...t-tell yoooouuuuuu..." Stan continued to stutter. His cheeks grew a deep shade of crimson and he started to sweat more.
"Staaaan?" It started to slightly annoy Crystal that instead of looking her in the eye, Stan seemed much more fascinated with his shoes. This wasn't like Stan! "Stan, if you aren't gonna tell me, then I'll just ask Jingle what's goi--"
"WHENAREWELEAVINGFORHAWAIICAUSEI'MREALLYREALLYREALLYPSYCHEDTOGETGOINGNOW!" Stan spat out the first lie that could cross his mind. He'd rather have Cappy and Penelope stick needles through his tongue than have Jingle tell Crystal "Stan loves you" right here, right now.
"Oh!" Crystal was taken aback from the outburst, but was relieved it wasn't anything serious. Jingle slapped his forehead. What is wrong with this guy? How hard is it to say "I love you!" to a woman?
"Well, we're leaving for Hawaii first thing tomorrow morning at seven...which is basically why I came here in the first place." Crystal explained. "Oh. Okay then! That's all I just wanted to know! Heh, heh." Stan laughed nervously. Then, Crystal let out a squeal and smiled excitedly.
"Oh my God! I am sooooooooo excited you guys! This is the first time I've ever invited people to my summer beach house. So it'd be really nice to finally have more than just me there." Crystal told them. "I just hope everything goes perfectly!" Crystal added, pouting worriedly at the last part.
"It will, Crystal! Don't worry about that." Stan said reassuringly, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Yeah. After all, we're like one big family. We'll all fit in just fine." Jingle agreed, gently ruffling her hair, and making sure he didn't ruin it either(she had issues with people ruining her hair)
Crystal laughed and shook her head to shake Jingle's hand away playfully. "Good point, but who said everyone was going?" she said. "What! But I thou--oh, that's right!" Stan remembered just then. Despite how much he was looking forward to the whole gang going, unfortunetaly, some of them had to go to other places for the vacation.
"Soooo, do you know who's coming or not?" Jingle asked. "I haven't got the whole list yet, so I'm not sure. I know Pashmina's going to Europe with her parents." Crystal shrugged. Pashmina, as well as Bijou, were Crystal's roomates. "Well, not everything in this world is fair!" Stan sighed. "True. So we gotta learn to deal with it." Crystal nodded. "Yup." Jingle added.
"GOOD LORD!"
Crystal jumped and whipped around. A half-naked Hamtaro was tightening the towel around his waist as he stared back at the brunette female in his dorm room. "Woman, how'd you get in here?" he demanded.
"The door." she answered as if it was obvious. "How'd you get that towel wrapped around your hollow little head?" she nodded up at the blue towel tied tightly around his hair. Only a strand of half-orange, half-white bang hung over his forehead.
"And what smells like cologne?" Stan sniffed at the air and stared threateningly at Jingle. He replied with a shrug. Hamtaro pouted defensively. "Brother's gotta pamper himself sometimes. 'Specially when he's about to leave for Hawaii for spring break!" he answered.
Hamtaro then stepped to the side. "Now if you don't mind, I would like to not stand here half-naked in front of you." he said. Crystal giggled.
"Relax Hamtaro, I just came here to tell you all our ride's coming tomorrow at seven. Will you be ready 'til then?" Crystal asked. "Of course Crys! I've been ready! Why else do you think I'd borrow Boss' favorite cologne body wash?" Hamtaro smiled.
"HEY! SOME IDIOT USED MY FAVORITE COLOGNE BODY WASH IN THE SHOWER THIS MORNING!" Boss' voice could be heard from the shower room across the hall.
Hamtaro's eyes became little dots. "Oops. Forgot to return it to his room." he mumbled meekly. Stan, Jingle and Crystal sweatdropped. "O-Okay, peoples. You never saw me. You never smelled me. I was never here!" Hamtaro said quickly. He ran past them and hid in the closet.
The three teens looked at each other and laughed. "Well, I should be off. I'm not totally done with my packing yet." Crystal smiled to Jingle and Stan. "Alright Crystal. Later!" Jingle said as he and Crystal shared a good-bye hug. "See you tomorrow, Crys." Stan did the same, blushing slightly during the hug.
"Heeeeeey! Me too! Don't forget about me!" Hamtaro poked his head out of the closet and pouted. Crystal laughed and hugged him as well. "Awww, who could forget you, Red!" she cooed. "Alright, toodles boys!" Crystal waved one last time and walked out.
The millisecond she left and was out of hearing distance, Jingle quickly socked Stan over the head. "YOU FRIGGIN' MORON! How could you just screw up like that?" Jingle scolded. "ME? You should be talking, Mr. I-Love-To-Spit-Out-My-Friend's-Deepest-Darkest-Secrets!" Stan glared at his roommate.
"I was doing you a favor! You just decided not to go with it!" Jingle yelled. "Oh really? Well then, ACCEPT MY GRATITUDE!" Stan tackled Jingle to the ground.
"OUCH! Gratitiude, my ass, ya' little chicken!" Jingle shouted.
"Oh yeah? Well, lemme soothe that HUUUUUUUUUUUGE BUMP ON YOUR HEAD!" Stan shot back.
"GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU RED-HEADED JUVENILE DELINQUENT!" Jingle screamed.
As they rolled around the floor, punching, kicking and cursing at each other, Hamtaro cautiously tiptoed out of the closet. Noticing that Boss hadn't come storming into the room in search of his body wash burgular, he smiled and relaxed. "Well, time to change!"
