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...
