After Stan told Flora that he loves her, they've going out for two months. During the two months things have changed. Dr. Loin called Stan's owner, Noel, and asked him if he could work for him; he wasn't sure at first, but then he agreed.
Noel: It would be nice to have someone looking after him while I take my jog.
Stan told his friends, and they were happy for him, and his sister gave him a high five.
Sandy: So I guess this means no more tail dragging?
Stan: Unless I do something bad.
They both laughed.
Boss and Harmony are now married, and Harmony lives with Boss now. Hamtaro, Bijou, Maxwell, and Sandy are now engaged, and Stan his helping his sister and Maxwell whenever he can. Pepper his having a baby, and Oxnard is now more busy helping both Pepper and the farm, and Stan is now working with Dr. Loin and Flora, and he's happy with his new job. One day, Stan was on his way to work, he knocked as usual, and Flora opened the window.
Stan: Hey Beautiful.
Flora: Hey Stan.
He handed her a gift.
Flora: What's this for?
Stan: Our two month anniversary sense we first met, open it.
She open and gasped, it was a locket with a picture of her and Stan. She hugged and kissed him.
Flora: It's beautiful.
Stan: Here.
He put it on for her.
Flora: How do I look?
Stan: Wonderful.
Flora: Thanks.
Stan: So what are we doing today?
Flora: Not much, all the pets are taking care of, the only thing we need to do is to move around some stuff.
Stan: Alright, just show me where to clean and move and I'll do it.
They set to work, Stan moved some boxes around, and Flora was mopping up the place, and they soon sat down and have some lunch, then they talked for a bit.
Flora: How are Pepper and the baby?
Stan: Pretty good, she said she should be due in a month or two.
Flora: And how's your sister.
Stan: Better every day, I swear thought; I don't know whose more love crazy, her and Maxwell or you and me.
They laughed.
Stan: Hey Flora, I like to asked you something.
Flora: What is it?
Stan: How did you become a nurse, and how'd you meet Dr. Loin?
Flora didn't know what to say, she'd never told anyone about this before, but he told her the truth, that he loves her, so it's time she dose the same.
Flora: You really want to know?
Stan: Yeah, if it's alright with you.
Flora: Okay, it all started when I was little.
Flashback:
Flora was about 3 years old; she lived with her mom and dad in a pet shop. Her mom was caring and loving, and so was her dad. Whenever she was sick, her parents will stay with her till she felt better.
Her mom was already a nurse, and would go around the pet shop and check on the animals, she wanted to come with, but her mom said no.
Flora's Mom: When you're older, I'll take you out and you can see the pets with me.
Flora looked up to her mom and wanted to be like her. One day, when she was six years old, her mom went around the shop to check on the pets, and Flora and her dad were playing catch.
Flora's Dad: Heads up Flora!
He threw the ball too long and it went flying pasted her.
Flora's Dad: Oops, sorry Flora.
Young Flora: It's alright dad, I'll go get it.
Flora's Dad: Don't hurt yourself!
Young Flora: I won't!
She ran after the ball and looked all around for it.
Young Flora: Where is it?
She heard a bark, which made her jumped.
Young Flora: Wh-h-ho's Th-h-h-ere?
The bark got louder, and now she was scared.
Young Flora: Mommy, Daddy, anyone help me!
She was about to run, then she felt a bumped; she turned around and found the ball. She picked it up and found a dog. She didn't know whether to run or get help; then the dog gave a friendly bark.
Dog: Woof!
Young Flora: Hello, thanks for returning the ball for me.
Then he gave Flora a friendly kissed.
Young Flora (Laughing): Okay, okay, thank you!
As the dog move to get closer to her, he started to yelp. Flora looked at him.
Young Flora: Hey what's wrong buddy?
Then she looked at his front paw.
Young Flora: Let me see.
He put out his front paw, and she touched it, causing him to yelp some more.
Young Flora: Sorry, but it looks like you twisted your front paw. I like to help, but I don't know how to take care of a sick puppy, and I don't know where my mom is.
She thought on how to help then she heard her dad called out.
Flora's dad: Flora, are you okay in there?!
Then she knew what to do.
Young Flora: Stay there I've found someone that might help you.
She ran out to join her dad. He was relief that his daughter wasn't hurt.
Flora's Dad: Thank goodness you're alive; your mother would kill me if I never found you.
Young Flora: Sorry dad, but I need some help; you see I found a dog, and he gave me our ball back, and it looks like he hurt his front paw, and I don't know what to do, can you help me please?
Flora's Dad: Well I don't know I don't know that much about taking care of pets.
Young Flora: Oh dad at least looked at him please, he was so nice of bringing our ball back; the least I can do is helped him out.
Flora's Dad: Well alright show me where the dog is, and I'll see what I can do.
Young Flora: Thanks dad.
So she showed her dad where the dog is and he took a look at his paw.
Flora's Dad: It's broken alright, but I'm not a doctor, and I can't reach the bandages the clerk keeps.
Young Flora: Can we just ask him to come here and take care of the puppy?
Flora's Dad: I'm sorry Flora, but if the clerk finds out we've left our cage, he would be worry about us, look for your mother, and then lock us up for good; you don't want that now right?
Young Flora: No, but we can't just leave him there.
Flora's dad pondered at the situation then he snapped his fingers and got an idea.
Flora's Dad: Okay Flora, we'll get the clerk here so he can help, but he wouldn't see us.
Flora was confused.
Young Flora: You mean we'll become invisible?
Flora's Dad: When you put that way, yes; you know when the bin full of toys is?
Young Flora: Yeah.
Flora's Dad: Okay go to the bin and get the remote control mouse, then move the mouse to the clerk's feet, when he sees it move the mouse and make sure he follows it to the dog's cage, then I'll tell the dog to move a little bit, so he can here the yelp, and then he'll take a look at his paw, and he should fix. You got all of that?
Young Flora: Uh-Uh.
Flora's Dad: Okay, now go, I'll stay here and keep an eye on him, good luck.
So Flora ran to find the toy bin. All she thought about was the dog and helping him get better. Soon she headed to the toy place, and quickly hided, as a little boy opened the door and Flora ran inside.
She looked around and found the toy mouse and the remote control.
Young Flora (Thinking): Okay, how am I going to get it down from here?
She looked around and saw some pieces of string.
Young Flora (Thinking): Hmm, I wonder.
She took the pieces of strings and tied them up into a lasso.
Young Flora (Thinking): Okay I just need to get the aim right.
She threw the lasso and caught the toy mouse's tail, she then pulled it and the mouse and the other toys came down,there was a loud crash and the clerk heard it.
Clerk: Is anyone in there?!
Flora was scared, she looked around, and quickly hided, as the clerk opened the door, and saw the toys on the floor, he was upset.
Clerk: That's the problem with kids these days; they don't know how to clean up after themselves.
He picked up the toys, as Flora watched, luckily she got the remote for the toy mouse, and she pulled the leveler, as the mouse began to move, and touched the clerk's feet
Clerk: What do we have here? Oh well time to get you back to the bid then.
Then Flora controlled the mouse and moved it away from him.
Clerk: Hey get back here you!
Young Flora (Thinking): That's right follow the mouse.
The Clerk chased the mouse around as Flora dragged him to where the dog was waiting, finally she found the door as her dad saw her coming and quickly opened the door.
Flora's Dad: Okay boy, now!
Flora stopped the toy mouse right in front of the dog, as the clerk caught up to it.
Clerk: Well there goes my exercise for today.
He picked up the mouse as the dog moved and yelp, then clerk turn around and saw the dog looking hurt.
Clerk: What's wrong little buddy.
He saw that his front paw was hanging up, and he took a look at it.
Clerk: Looks like you hurt your paw, well lucky for you I got some bandage in the storage room.
He opened up the cage and picked him up.
Clerk: Come on; let's get your paw fixed.
He left as Flora high fived her dad.
Young Flora: We did it dad!
Flora's Dad: No you did it, I'm so proud of you, and mother will be too when she comes home, which is where we're going now.
So they want back to their cage, and 5 min later Flora's Mom came home.
Flora's Dad: Hello honey.
Flora's Mom: Hello dear.
Young Flora: Hi mom!
Flora's Mom: Hello Flora, how was your day?
Young Flora: Great; I helped a dog.
Flora's Mom: You did?!
Flora's Dad: Hmm-hmm, all by herself.
And he told her the whole thing, as her mom was happy for her daughter.
Flora's Mom: Oh I'm so proud of you, my baby's growing up!
Young Flora: Thank. Hey mom?
Flora's Mom: What is it?
Young Flora: I think I know what I want to be when I grow up.
Flora's Mom: And what's that.
Young Flora: I want to be a nurse like you, can you teach me?
Flora's parents smiled.
Flora's Dad: Can you give us a minute Flora?
Young Flora: Sure.
Flora was worry that they might say, "No".
Flora's Mom: What do you think?
Flora's Dad: I think it's cute, but still it would be nice if she spend some time with you for a change, she'd grown up now and sooner or later she has to learn the responsibilities on taking care of an animal, even another hamster.
Flora's Mom: True, but I don't know, what if she gets lost or the clerk finds one of us and we get in trouble?
Flora's Dad: It's the risk we'll have to take, beside I think she really wants to do this, and it makes her happy and that's what I want from our daughter.
Flora's Mom thought, she did want to see her daughter happy.
Flora's Mom (Thinking): It would be nice to spend time with my daughter while I work.
Flora's Mom: Okay you win, we'll tell her tomorrow morning.
Flora's Dad: Thanks dear, I just know she'll be happy. (Yawned) Let's get some sleep.
Flora's Mom: Alright.
They kissed.
Flora's Mom: Good night.
Flora's Dad: Night.
