Story 4: I Spy
It was the middle of the day. It was Hamtaro, Stan, Maxwell, and Oxnard sitting on top of a tree looking at the park and drinking some juice boxes. The four boys decided to play some I spy.
Oxnard: Okay. I spy with my eye, something green.
Stan: (bored) Is it the leaves on the trees? Again?
Oxnard: Yes. That's correct.
Hamtaro: Okay. My turn. I spy with my eye, something bright.
Maxwell: Is it the sun?
Hamtaro: Right. Good guess.
Maxwell: A good guess had nothing to do with it.
Stan: Uggggh! This is getting boring. Why play "I spy" when the answers are so obvious.
Hamtaro: Come on Stan. It's still fun.
Oxnard: Yeah! It's your turn. Make it a good one.
Stan: Fine. I spy with my eye...
At that moment, Stan spotted some of the girl hams.
Stan:...a couple of ham girls walking by. A small yellow one, four that are quite fine, and a girl with tiger stripes, just like mine.
Hamtaro: This one sounds tough. Okay, let's see...
Stan: Hamtaro, it's my the girls.
Hamtaro: Well I know it is now that you just gave out the answer.
Stan: No no. My mean, Bijou, Pashmina, Sandy, Penelope, Lapis, and Lazuli are over there.
Stan then pointed and Hamtaro, Maxwell, and Oxnard looked and notice the girls. It looks like they were going somewhere.
Maxwell: Huh. It is them.
Oxnard: I wonder where they are heading to.
Stan: Come on. Let's go see what's up?
The boys got down from the tree and all walked over to the girls to say hi.
Stan: Hello ladies...and sis.
Sandy: Stan! Hey bro! Hamtaro. Oxnard. (blushes) Heehee...Maxwell.
Maxwell: (blushes) Hey Sandy.
Stan: (rolls eyes) Get a room you two.
Hamtaro: Where are you girls heading?
Bijou: Nowhere special.
Lapis: Just somewhere to talk.
Lazuli: You know, girl talk.
Pashmina: With just us girl.
Penelope: Ookwee.
Hamtaro, Stan, Oxnard, and Maxwell: Girl Talk?
Sandy: Yeah. Now we got to go. So don't wait up.
The girls then walked away saying goodbye to the boys.
Stan: Hmm...girl talk, huh?
Hamtaro: What's up Stan?
Maxwell: What's on your mind?
Stan: Hey guys! I say we spy on the girls.
Hamtaro, Maxwell, and Oxnard: WHAT?!
Stan: Come on. Don't you guys what to know what the girls want to talk about?
Hamtaro: Uhh...well...won't they be mad if they find out?
Stan: Not if we stay quite.
Oxnard: I'm really hungry. So you can count me out.
Maxwell: Me too. I REALLY don't want to get in trouble with Sandy.
Stan: Whipped.
Maxwell: (red-faced) I am not whipped. Hmpt!
Just like that, Maxwell left and so did Oxnard a few seconds afterwords. Hamtaro was still there.
Stan: Hamtaro. I knew I could count on you to join me.
Hamtaro: (sweat drop) I still don't feel to comfortable about this.
Stan: Come on. We will be fine. Now let's move.
Hamtaro: O...kay...
So Hamtaro and Stan ran to catch up with the girls. They spot them talking on a bench in the park. The two decide to hide inside a bush.
Stan: (whispers) Remember, stay quite.
Hamtaro: (whispers) Right.
The boys stop talking and started listening to what the girls were talking about.
Sandy: I'm telling you. Sometimes, my brother can be too much. He can really be a problem sometimes.
Lapis: He can be a bit...much.
Pashmina: Come on. Stan is not that bad. In fact...he's actually kinda...
Sandy: DON'T SAY IT. DON'T SAY IT.
Pashmina: Don't say what?
Stan, from the bushes, really freaked out because he really wanted to know what Pashmina was about to say.
Stan: (frantic) Kinda what? KINDA WHAT? I NEED TO KNOW!
Hamtaro: (covers Stan's mouth) Stan! Be quite!
Sandy: Trust me, girlfriend. Stan's the last guy you want to fall for. Better you figure that out now that later.
Stan: (angry) Thanks a lot, sis.
Pashmina: Well we can't all be lucky like you Sandy. You already have a boy. The rest of us don't even don't.
Sandy: (blushes) Ri..right. Guess you have me there.
Bijou: How have things been with you and Maxwelll?
Sandy: Great. He can be a little shy sometimes, but that what makes him so sweet.
Other girls: Awwwwww.
Penelope: Ookwee.
Stan: Gag me with a spoon.
Hamtaro: Stan! Shhhhh!
Sandy: Anyway Pashmina. How about Dexter or Howdy? I pretty sure you know those two like you by now.
Pashmina: (sigh) That's the problem. They always fight with each other. It can get really annoying. If I were to choose one of them, then the other would just be mad about it. The fighting would never end. That...and I don't really have any real feelings for either of them.
Bijou: So is that a no to both of them.
Pashmina: I don't really want to hurt their feelings. But the answer is yes.
Hamtaro and Stan: (quietly) Ouch...
Hamtaro: Those poor guys...
Stan: Better keep that to ourselves. It would destroy them if they found out.
Hamtaro: Agreed.
Stan: (thoughts) I just bank that for now.
Lazuli: So, is there anyone you like, Bijou?
Bijou: (shocked) What?
Lapis: Don't you like any of the boys?
Hamtaro: (quietly) Heke?
Stan: (quietly) Well this could be interesting.
Bijou's face went completely red.
Bijou: Wh...wh...why do you ask that?
Lapis: Come on. We're curious.
Lazuli: Really curious.
Pashmina: I've curious for a while too.
Penelope: Ookwee.
Bijou: No...no one really.
Sandy: Hmm...your red face says otherwise.
Bijou:...
Sandy: Bijou, if you like someone, you can trust us.
Bijou: Well...
Stan: Okay. Let's listen up.
Stan leaned in closer to he what Bijou had to say, but Hamtaro didn't. Hamtaro heart started racing and beating faster and faster.
Bijou: You see...
Before they could here the answer, Hamtaro pulled Stan away for the bushes.
Stan: Woah!
Hamtaro carried Stan to a far enough area from the girls. After that, he put down Stan, who wasn't too happy.
Stan: Dude, she was about to say something.
Hamtaro: This was a bad idea.
Stan: But Bijou may have a said who she likes.
Hamtaro: It doesn't really matter. We were not suppose to here that.
Stan: But she could have say anyone. It could have been me. It could have been Boss. It could have been...
Stan then realized why Hamtaro pulled him away.
Stan: Oh...I get it now.
Hamtaro:...
Stan: You were worried she might have said your name.
Hamtaro: Yeah.
Stan: Well, what's wrong with that? What's wrong if Bijou likes you? I mean you like her, right?
Hamtaro: I...don't know. I don't know how I feel. Bijou is one of the nicest girl ever, but still...
Stan: It's about Boss, is it?
Hamtaro: You know Boss likes her. I don't want to seem like the friend that takes her away from him. I can't be that.
Stan: Hey Hamtaro?
Hamtaro: Yeah?
Stan: You're overthinking things. You should see where things go first and then decide what to do afterwords. You can worry about what comes afterwords later.
Hamtaro: Okay. Thanks.
Stan: No problem. If Bijou has to like one of us, them I'm...okay with it being you.
Hamtaro: That's pretty big of you to say.
Stan: Yeah well, don't get you to it. I'm just going to have to work harder for Pashmina. I'm pretty sure my chances are better than Howdy and Dexter now.
Hamtaro: Just remember not to tell them that.
Stan: Right.
Hamtaro and Stan decided to head back to the tree they were previously on. Oxnard and Maxwell were with them again. The sun was about to set.
Maxwell: So, did you guys REALLY spied on the girls.
Stan: Yeah. But they didn't really say anything special.
Hamtaro: Just girl talk, like they said.
Oxnard: So, nothing important?
Stan: Nope. But Maxwell, your good with you relationship with sis. Just work on that shyness. The last thing I want is a shy future brother-in-law.
Maxwell: (blushes) Future brother-in-law?
Stan: It's going to happen sooner or later, right?
Hamtaro: (chuckling) Stan's right you know.
Oxnard: You don't want to keep Sandy waiting too long. It was the same for me and Pepper.
Maxwell: (blushese) Ri...right.
Stan: Alright. Let's get back to our game of "I spy".
Hamtaro: Sounds great. Okay. I spy...
