Ch 3

Thank you

Dr. Loin and Flora were as good as their words, Stan did come home the next day, he wanted to go out and play, but Noel was watching him the whole time.

Noel: Sorry Stan, I know you want to run around, but Dr. Loin said that one more day of rest will do you good, but don't worry I've asked Hillary to come over and bring Sandy, so you won't be lonely.

Stan was happy that we was going to see his sister, but was sad that he won't be going out today.

Hillary arrived and brought Sandy.

Noel: Hey Hillary, how are you?

Hillary: Pretty good, I brought Sandy.

Noel: Hey Sandy.

He movie his finger, and petted her neck, as Sandy rub against it.

Hillary: How's Stan?

Noel: He feeling more and more better every day, he wanted to come out, but I told him he can't yet, but I'm sure seeing his sister will cheer him up.

So she placed Sandy's cage next to Stan's, as Sandy popped out and saw Stan. She waved at him, and he waved back.

Hillary: I got some treats in the car, would like to come with?

Noel: Sure, now keep an eye on your brother Sandy; make sure he doesn't get out.

Sandy (Thinking): Don't worry, as long as I'm here, Stan won't get away.

So while Noel and Hillary went to the car to get the treats, Sandy got out of her cage and into Stan's.

Sandy: So how do you feel big bro?

Stan: Pretty good, that Flora really knows how to treat pets. I can't wait to come back to the clubhouse tomorrow. How are the others by the way?

Sandy: They doing well, they missed you thought, and they were worry about you too.

Stan: Well I can't blame them, I miss me too if I was that handsome.

Sandy punched him.

Sandy: Oh Stan what I'm going to do with you?

Stan just chuckle, and Sandy chuckle a bit too.

Stan: Hey sis, can I ask you something?

Sandy: Sure, what is it?

Stan: It's Flora.

Sandy: What about her?

Stan: I just can't stop thinking about her; she was just so kind to me, even when I was a bit cocky, she was still patient with me, she'd reminded me so much of you. I want to do something nice for her, as my way of saying thank you.

Sandy was a bit shock, she wondered if her brother was still sick, but she saw in his that he really meant it.

Stan: So I was thinking of visiting her, and bring her into the clubhouse.

Sandy: That's a great idea, I'm sure she'd be happy to see you.

Just then they heard their owners coming back, so Sandy ran back to her cage, as they open up the door, and gave them some treats. The next day Noel got up and went outside for a little jog, as Stan got up too, and went outside, he knew where he must go to first. When he got to Dr. Loin's bus, he hopped up, and saw Flora cleaning up the place, she look tired, Stan knocked on the window, and Flora saw him. Then she run up and opened up the window.

Flora: Hey Stan, what's up?

Stan: Not much just came up to see what you were doing.

Flora: Not much just the same thing cleaning and checking the pets, I tell you it's hard work, but it's well worth it to see these pets feeling better.

Stan: Well would like to take a break, and come with for a bit?

Flora was worry; she had never been out before.

Flora: I don't know, I mean what if the pets get sick while I'm gone, I mean I love to, but I just don't want to leave the pets.

Stan: Isn't there anyone else that can take care of them while you're gone?

Flora: Well we do have a monkey named Pepe, but still.

Stan: Please Flora, I just want to show the clubhouse and my other friends, I promise I'll bring you back before your owner gets back. I just want to you show my gratitude for helping me.

Flora was going to say no, but she saw that he meant it.

Flora: Alright, let me tell Pepe, and then we'll go.

So Stan held her paw and took her to the clubhouse, she was scared at first, but Stan told her about his friends, and she felt a bit better.

Flora (Thinking): It's sweet that he's doing this for me; I just hope I don't get in trouble for this.

They reached the clubhouse as Stan opened the door.

Ham-hams: Surprise!

Stan: Aw you guys, you didn't have to do this for me.

Boss: Nonsense, after what your sister told us, you deserve a special day.

Stan: Thanks guys, where is my sis anyway?

Sandy came up for behind and tackle him, then they wrestle, and laughed at their silliness.

Sandy: Hey bro, glad you're feeling better.

Stan: Thanks, it's good to be back.

They hugged, as Flora watch and giggled.

Flora (Thinking): What great friends he as.

Stan: Hey everyone I want you meet a new friend I brought, she the one that help me get better. Come out don't be shy.

Flora walked in as the Ham-hams gasped and were amazed at the hamster.

Flora: Hello, I'm Flora.

She was still a little shy, but the Ham-hams said hello, and introduced themselves.

Maxwell: Hi, I'm Maxwell, thanks for taking care of Stan.

Boss: Yeah thanks, I'm Boss, I'm the owner of this clubhouse.

Hamtaro: I'm Hamtaro; I can say that you're our special friend already.

Harmony: Hi I'm Harmony, and I can tell that you're a very kind hamster.

Bijou: Bonjour, I'm Bijou, and I'm from France.

Dexter: I'm Dexter and I-

Howdy: I'm Howdy and I-

Dexter: Hey you didn't let me finished yet!

Howdy: Well everything you say is dull and boring.

Dexter: I'll show you who boring!

They were about to fight when Stan butt in and break them apart.

Stan: Alright that's enough we have a guest here, and I want you two to stop acting like children.

Howdy: Sorry Dexter.

Dexter: Sorry Howdy.

Dexter and Howdy: Sorry Flora.

Flora smiled.

Flora: It's alright.

Hannah: Howdy I'm Hannah.

Oxnard: I'm Oxnard, and this is my wife, Pepper.

Pepper: Howdy!

Cappy: I'm Cappy, and I like hats.

Panda: I'm Panda, and I love to build.

Pashmina: I'm Pashmina, and this is my sister, Penelope.

Penelope: Hello.

Lapis: I'm Lapis, and this is my sister, Lazuli.

Lazuli: Hi, and this sleepy hamster here, is Snoozer.

Snoozer: Hello.

Flora felt much better and sat right next to Stan.

Boss: So Flora what do you do?

Flora: I'm a nurse, I take care of all kinds of pets; cats, dogs, bunnies, and of course hamsters.

Pepper: We do the same thing down on my farm although the animals are a lot bigger than yours at the vets.

Flora: We take care of farm animals too, sometimes I would travel with Dr. Loin to a farm, and we would take care of an animal whether they're sick, or they're giving birth.

Penelope: Is it hard work?

Flora: Oh yes, very hard work, animals are not like humans, you can take care of a sick human with no problem, because other humans can understand them, and they don't have that many sickness, but animals are much different, humans can't understand them that much, they can tell if they're sick, by looking at their eyes, but they don't know what they're sick about. That's why Dr. Loin brought me, because the only way to understand an animal is to talk to another animal. Plus animals have some sickness that most humans don't have that much, so you have to study them very carefully and find out what's wrong and what do you do to make them feel better.

The Hamsters were amazed at what Flora said.

Stan: You pretty cool doing all that work by yourself, and making sure they feel better, I find that very admirable.

Flora: Thanks, but I'm not alone, Dr. Loin helps too of course, and we have a monkey named Pepe, and he helps out too, but I tell you the busies days for us is check up day, where all the owners gather up their pets, and we have to work very hard to check them, and make sure they're okay, it really makes my paws sore, but if it means to see those pets and the owners happy, then it's well worth it.

Maxwell: Wow, they should put you in a history book, for being the world's greatness nurse.

Harmony: Or better yet make a statue out of you, you're full of grace and kindness.

Flora felt flatter.

Flora: Thanks, but I don't do this, because I want to be famous, I do it, because I want to see pets get well.

Stan look at her in amazement, he'd never met someone so caring like her before, he was starting to blush a bit.

Sandy: Hey Flora, we're going to take Stan to Acorn Mountain for a picnic, would you like to come?

Flora: Well, I not sure, I mean I just met all of you.

Stan: Come on it'll be fun; I'll stay by your side the whole time.

Flora: Alright.

Boss: Great we'll pack up and then we'll go.

So they all were packed up and headed out to the mountain. While they were there, they each spilt up into groups.

Boss: I'll be with Harmony, Hamtaro, and Bijou.

Dexter: I got Pashmina, Penelope, and Cappy.

Howdy: I'm with Hannah, Oxnard, and Pepper.

Panda: I'll be with Snoozer, Lapis, and Lazuli.

Stan: And I'll be with my sis, Maxwell, and Flora.

Boss: Let's all meet back here at 3:00.

And with that they all set off.

Maxwell was showing Sandy some flowers, and leaves, while Stan was showing Flora some animals, she watched, as she saw some rabbits go by. She looked happy then she turned, and saw Stan up in a tree.

Flora: What are doing up there?

Stan: Getting some acorns.

Flora: Don't hurt yourself!

Stan: Relax I'll be fine…

As soon as he said it, he slipped on a branch, and fell. Luckily he landed on a bush, he wasn't hurt, but Flora went and checked on him.

Flora: See, what did I say; let me see.

Stan: Its fine, OW!

Flora: That doesn't sound fine, luckily I brought my first aid kit; let me look at your leg.

She look a band-aid, and bandage his leg, Stan felt bad.

Stan: I'm sorry; I was only trying to get some acorns for you.

Flora: It's alright, just don't do it again.

Just then Sandy and Maxwell came up to them. Sandy saw the bandage on Stan's leg.

Sandy: Oh dear are you alright Stan?

Flora: He's fine, just a sprit leg, he should be healing soon.

Maxwell: How did this happen?

Flora: He was climbing up a tree to get some acorns for me, and he slipped and fall.

Sandy: Oh Stan why didn't you asked us, we had some acorns in our bag.

Stan felt silly, but said nothing and they ate. Soon it was time to head back to the spot where Boss at told them to be at. Then they went back to the clubhouse, and back home. Stan took Flora home.

Stan: Hey, I'm sorry what happen at the tree.

Flora: Don't worry too much, I had a great time, thanks for taking me out, but why did you do all this for me?

Stan: It's just my way of saying thank you for helping me, and even today you've helped me, and now my leg is feeling better.

Flora: Well it's my job, I just like to help people, beside you were just so nice to me today, that I couldn't sit there and do nothing.

Stan blushed a bit more then he saw some roses, picks one, and gives to Flora.

Flora: Oh Stan, thanks I love it.

Stan: Here.

He place on her nurse hat.

Stan: Makes look pretty.

Now Flora blushed a bit.

Flora (Thinking): He's so sweet; first he shows me some rabbits then tries to give me acorns, and now a rose.

Then she gave him a hug, causing them both to blush. Soon they reach the bus; luckily Dr. Loin didn't notice that Flora had left.

Stan: Well we should be going, I'll come by and see you tomorrow.

Flora: Thanks for a wonderful time, your pretty cool.

Stan: Don't flatter me.

They both laugh and left for the evening. Stan turned back and sighed happily.

Stan (Thinking): She so wonderful, is she the one I'm looking for?
