Well, I'm sorry this was so lame. It wasn't very long, but you know, I was always particularly attracted to short stories over novels and chapter books and whatnot.

Anyway, I'm glad I finally came back to seal it up. Chances are I'll put up more annoying stories before too long.

Last time...

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!" Bijou screamed, makeup running down her face. As soon as Hamtaro heard her crying, his face shot up and he ran to console her. Bijou pushed him away and cried even harder. Hamtaro sat by her, silent for a few moments, then...

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!" Hamtaro started crying equally as intensely as Bijou was!! Bijou was so shocked that she stopped crying, and Hamtaro cried for a good 15 seconds. After that, he wiped his eyes and nose and said, "Bijou...I didn't know all this would make you cry. I never would've...well, I never would've gone along with the plan if I would have known. I'm really sorry." Bijou stared at him. "Plan?"

Hamtaro's eyes bulged. "Uh, what? You didn't know...um, no, I didn't say plan, I said...uh...ham?"

"I 'eard you. You said 'plan'."

Hamtaro gulped. "Well, see, Jewel got all some of us guys together and we talked, and...we all agreed to only pay attention to her for her last day, and uh..." Bijou stopped listening. She slowly turned around to face Jewel, who smiled nervously at her and waved. Before Jewel could even blink Bijou had pounced on her and was about to rip her ribbon and all fur attatched to it right off the top of her head, when Jewel started crying too!! Ok, so maybe she wasn't crying like Bijou or Hamtaro did, but she had tears running down her face. "Bijou...I'm so incredibly...jealous. Of you. There's a reason I travel the world: if I didn't, no one would like me. It's the entire premise of my character. Please, try to understand. I only did this because I wanted you to be jealous of me for once. I wanted to impress you in some cosmic way..." Bijou ripped her fur out anyway.

I'M KIDDING!! Haha, no, Bijou just started crying again. Then she hugged her sister, and Hamtaro ran over and hugged both of them. Then Bijou pushed him away because he was still a stupid boy.

Jewel left not long after that, and the clubhouse was restored to it's regular peace. Dexter, Howdy, and Stan were apologizing profusely to Pashmina and Sandy, who were not hearing a word of it. Bijou and Hamtaro were sitting on the couch people-watching, as they were apt to do. Bijou couldn't exactly stay mad at him for long.

Maxwell was studying his encyclopedia while Arua was trying to talk to him.

"Were you part of that?" She asked. "Part of what?" "The plan to ignore everyone but Jewel!" "Uhh, no. She's like, a super-scholar. I was earnestly attentive for purely scientific reasons. I hope to be as accomplished as that one day..."

"Psh, yeah right. You weren't very earnestly attentive when us womenfolk were all fancied up now were you?"

"Er, of course I was. Don't overestimate any womenly charms you might posess, Arua." He replied while reading, without even looking at Arua.

Arua's face reddened."What?! Shut UP Maxwell, you KNOW I'm like 100% hot babe, except when I'm hanging out with YOU you big nerd! I swear, I try to be your friend and all you do is insult me and cheat me at chess...which by the way I'm NEVER trying to play again! You're a freak." Arua walked off and then looked back at Maxwell, who suddenly yelled in fury.

"PALEOSUCHUS TRIGONATUS, MY HEINIE!!" He turned feverishly toward Arua. "THAT LITTLE SKANK TRICKED ME!"
