Ch.5

Case Closed

Here's my final chapter for this fic. If Stan or Ty didn't do it, who did? That will be revealed! And Peach the Hedgehog, if you guessed right, I'm gonna be super pissed because it took me a while to think of all this! R&R!

The ham hams sat quietly in the clubhouse, watching Boss mutter death threats under his breath as he paced back and forth.

"Yeah, this is basically what you guys missed out on yesterday" whispered Dexter. "I think Boss is seriously considering harming the ham that did this!"

"Gee, wouldn't wanna be in that hamster's fur" whispered Oxnard. "Make's me kinda glad I couldn't come yesterday."

Bijou nodded in agreement. "Me too. We need to do somezing for Boss to cheer him up."

"Bijou, the only thing that's gonna make Boss happy is poundin' the stuffin' outta whoever trashed his room" whispered Howdy. "Or you could go over there and, I dunno, kiss him or somethin'. You're the gal he's crushin' on!"

"Howdy, are you making another joke?" asked Bijou. "Because just like all zee rest of your jokes, it's not funny!" Everyone turned their attention to the clubhouse door as they saw Stan, Sandy, Maxwell, and Ty enter.

Boss again began his accusations. "So, the criminal came back to the scene of the crime! I thought I kicked you two out!"

"How many times do I have to say it?" shouted Stan. "I didn't trash your room!"

"He's right" said Ty. "And for the record, I didn't do it either!"

"Oh, I see what's goin' on here" said Boss. "It wasn't one of you, you both did it!"

"Look, I only came here for two reasons" explained Ty. "To tell you my alibi and to get my backpack."

"Oh, what are ya gonna do, wreck more rooms?" asked Boss.

"No! Just listen to me!" shouted Ty. "I left my backpack over here after our argument. If I did sabotage your room, I would have brought my backpack back with me!"

"Ha! You'd want me to believe that, wouldn't you?" said Boss. "Well I'm not fallin' for it!"

Ty was about to retaliate when a thought popped into his head. "Oh, I see what's goin' on here. You're only accusing me because you think I have a crush on Bijou, right?"

"You keep Bijou outta this!" spat Boss. "She even told me she doesn't like you!"

"I don't care" shouted Ty. "As I already told you, I have no romantic interest in her!"

"Okay then" said Boss. "Who do you like?"

"You wanna know who I like?" asked Ty. "Fine I'll tell you! I'm sorry if I embarrass her when I say this, but I like Sandy!"

"It's true" said Sandy with a bright red face. "I'm sorry if this gets him into trouble when I say this, but he tried hitting on me in the woods yesterday. I had to use the ribbon to get him away from me."

"You hit on my sister?" asked Stan.

"You hit on my crush?" asked Maxwell.

"Oh snap! Stan's your brother and Maxwell has a crush on you?" Ty asked Sandy.

"You didn't know Stan was my brother and Maxwell and I have a crush on each other?" asked Sandy.

"Would you guys cut it out?" asked Boss. "There's a more important issue at the moment. Stan wrecked my room!"

"You're going after me again?" asked Stan. "For the last, freakin' time…I didn't do it!"

Boss got up in Stan's face. "Okay then, if you didn't do it, who did?"

As if on cue, Hamtaro entered the clubhouse. "Sorry I'm late! What'd I miss?"

"So, it was you!" shouted Boss as he got up in Hamtaro's face. "I knew you were the one who wrecked my room all along!"

"What are you talkin' about Boss?" asked Hamtaro. "I didn't do it!"

"And you've only accused me and Ty!" said Stan. "You haven't said a thing about Hamtaro being the one who did it!"

"Well now I know he did it" explained Boss. "So fess up Hamtaro!"

Bijou got in between Boss and Hamtaro. "Boss, stop it this instant! You shouldn't go around yelling at others to take out your anger!"

"Hey Bijou?" asked Hamtaro. "Are you doing something different with your fur?"

Bijou's eyes lit up as she turned to Hamtaro. "Why yes I am! I'm so glad you noticed!"

"Yeah, first Stan has a patch of red fur, now you do too!" said Hamtaro. "Maybe I should do it too!"

"What? Red patch? What are you talking about?" asked Bijou.

Hamtaro pointed to her wrist. "That little bit of red there. You've got a little on your paw too."

"Wait a sec" said Stan.

"Hamtaro, are you accusing Bijou?" asked Boss. "'Cause if you are, I'm gonna pound ya to a pulp!"

"Boss! Stop it already!" shouted Bijou. "Alright I admit it, I did it, I wrecked Boss's room!" The whole room was in shock. Out of all the ham hams, she was one no one suspected.

Boss turned to Bijou. "Look, I know you're a good ham, but you don't have to go around taking the blame for others."

"Boss, will you open your ears for once and listen?" shouted Bijou. "I was the one who trashed your room! Not Stan, not Ty, not Hamtaro, but me!" The whole room sat in shock, still in disbelief.

Bijou took a deep breath. "Look, let me explain. Boss has been so clingy and emotional about me lately, he was suffocating me! After he accused Ty for liking me, I couldn't take it anymore! After everyone went looking for Ty, I had to convince Boss to help. I told him we should split up to cover more ground.

After he left, I snuck back into the clubhouse to do something to get the message across to him. That's when I found Ty's backpack. So I went into your room and spray painted everything! I know it was wrong, stupid, and mean to do, but I just had to release some tension!

She turned to Stan, Ty, and Hamtaro and sighed. "I am so sorry you all got blamed for zis. I should have take responsibility for my actions. Will you forgive me?" The three nodded.

"Yeah, I forgive you" said Ty.

"I know you didn't mean for this to happen" said Stan.

"Of course I forgive you" said Hamtaro. "I could never be mad at you."

Boss walked up to Bijou and hung his head. "Wow, I really screwed up, didn't I? Sorry about all this. Can you please forgive me?"

"Yes I do" answered Bijou. "But I'm zee one who should be apologizing to you. Will you forgive me?"

"Of course I do!" answered Boss. He turned to Stan, Ty, and Hamtaro. "And sorry about blaming you guys. Can you forgive me?"

"Sure exclaimed Hamtaro. "Apology accepted!"

Boss walked up to Stan. "You can come back to the clubhouse if you want. It was wrong of me to kick you out."

Stan stood in thought for a moment before answering. "Sure, what the heck."

"I'll be right back" said Boss. He walked over to Snoozer and grabbed the black backpack next to him.

Boss handed the backpack to Ty. "Here's your backpack back. I gave it to Snoozer so he could guard it."

"Zuzuzu…I kept it…nice and cozy…zuzuzu" said Snoozer.

"Uhh, thanks" said Ty put his backpack on.

"I'm sorry about accusing you for liking Bijou and for trashing my room" said Boss. "You're more than welcome to come back anytime! Can you forgive me?"

"I guess I can forgive you" began Ty. "But I'm not sure if I should.

"Come on Ty" begged Stan.

"Please? Will you give the clubhouse a second chance?" asked Sandy. Ty was trying to keep up on the defensive, but Sandy was doing a good job knocking down his defensive wall.

Ty blushed. "I'll think about it." He headed over to the door. "See ya around!" He closed the door as he exited the clubhouse.

Ty was adding the finishing touches to his latest masterpiece. He picked out a light blue and went to work. "Dang, I didn't know Max had a crush on Sandy. A bookworm and a ham like her? You don't see that everyday." He put away his blue spray paint and removed his red bandana away from his nose and mouth.

He smiled at his completed work. "That Maxwell, he's a lucky ham." Before leaving the alley, he took on last look at his latest graffiti art. In fancy graffiti art, it read: TyXSandy.

I hope you enjoyed the last chapter of this fic! Did the suspect surprise you? Please say yes, it took me a while to think of. Sorry that it was kinda sappy at the end with all the apologizes. Ty's bio and a couple added things to Tennis and Kai's bios will be up shortly! Please R&R!
