"Luna, how do you do this every night?" Cherry panted.
"Years and years and years of practice..." Princess Luna chuckled and gently patted Cherry on the head.
"Oi." Cherry groaned.
Princess Luna giggled. "So much to learn and so little time."
"You said it." Cherry said.
"I'll see you soon." Princess Luna told her.
"See you later, Luna." Cherry replied.
When the next morning came, a limo was coming toward the house as a blonde girl waved her hand out the window to pose as Hannah Montana since it obviously wasn't her as Miley was at her grandmother's house, and where it would soon be revealed of who it really was. Miley rushed over to hug Lily as she was disguised as Hannah which relieved them both. Meanwhile, Oswald was sitting in a tree, and snapping pictures of the hug between Miley and the blonde girl he thought was actually Hannah Montana.
"So rustic!" Vita smiled as she came out of the limo. "I love it, Miley."
"Hi, Vita," Darla smiled back. "Sorry for leaving you at the awards."
"Oh, it's no trouble, it almost cost me my job," Vita replied. "This whole 'pop star saves hometown' angle is genius. Not so genius that I forgive you for ditching me in New York, but genius nevertheless."
Darla soon saw Oswald on the tree and knew that he would fall out of it. Oswald soon stood up and fell right off the tree which made Darla snicker.
"So, you must be Granny... Adorable," Vita smiled to Ruby before handing her a piece of her luggage. "Oh, look at this place. It's just so, um... And, uh... Does it always smell like this?"
"Pretty much." Ruby smirked before giving the woman her bag right back.
"Sorry, Vita, you'll have to carry your luggage the rest of the way." Darla said.
"She's right, it's farm livin' from here on out," Ruby nodded as she then went to go inside her home. "'Scuse me."
Darla soon went to join Miley and Lilly.
"Lilly, I am so sorry, you are the best friend I have ever had, and when I thought you weren't gonna talk to me, that I might lose you forever-" Miley began.
"Miley, calm down." Darla said.
"Besides, you couldn't lose me even if you wanted to." Lilly told her best friend.
"Good, because I don't want to." Miley replied.
The two best friends then shared a quick make-up hug together.
"Aw!" Darla smiled.
"And, uh, sorry for about talking to that reporter guy." Lilly then said.
"What?!" Darla asked her. "You talked to him?!"
"Lilly, how could you?" Miley asked in betrayal.
"Hey, I thought this was one of those 'you're sorry, I'm sorry' moments." Lilly frowned.
"It is and I am." Miley said.
There was then a knock at the door.
"Miley, could I come in and talk to you and Hannah?" A female voice asked from behind the door which panicked the girls instantly.
'This is bad." Darla thought to herself.
Lilly and Miley soon tossed the blonde wig to each other in nervousness and anticipation.
"Miley, it's kind of important." The woman from the other side told the brunette girl.
The two girls soon snapped to each other with their fingers which annoyed Darla. Darla soon firmly put the wig on Lilly since she had enough of the arguing.
"Uh, come in." Miley allowed at last and the door opened, allowing the woman to come inside to meet the teen pop sensation.
The door soon opened and showed Loralei.
"Oh, hello, Miss Loralei," Darla smiled to the woman. "How can we help you?"
"Oh, is Hannah okay?" Loralei then whispered once she saw the 'pop star' under the covers while Miley was giving her a special therapy.
"She'll be fine, she just needs some destressing," Miley quietly told the woman. "It helps with Hannah's jet lag."
'Jet lag?' Darla thought to herself. 'Really?'
"Jet lag?" Loralei asked. "But California's only two hours-"
"Uh, she must just, uh, misses home." Darla said quickly.
"Uh, yeah, ya know..." Miley added quickly. "Homesick jitters."
Lilly gave a wave as Loralei tried to talk with her.
"I'll leave you girls alone." Darla said.
"Miley, you up there?" Robbie Ray's voice asked.
'Oh, crud.' Darla thought to herself.
"Uh, he doesn't know, that Hannah's here," Miley quickly made up. "He is going to be so excited. Let me tell him."
"I'll take over." Loralei smiled as she decided to take care of 'Hannah' from here while Miley would go see her father.
Lilly began to panic a bit. Miley stammered a bit, but allowed it only for there to be no talking to Lilly wouldn't blow their cover. Loralei soon gave Lilly a perfect foot massage which was actually quite relaxing than Miley's attempt at it. Darla smiled to that working perfectly so far and soon decided to go with Miley to see Robbie Ray as he was climbing up a ladder while Bud was holding onto the ladder for him so he wouldn't fall off.
"Dad! Dad, what're you doing?!" Miley asked her father as he climbed up the ladder.
"Mr. Stewart, what you doing up there?" Darla asked.
"Fixin' Miley's grandma's gutters." Robbie Ray replied.
"I'm holding the ladder," Bud added as he helped. "Oh, girls, be careful, don't squish the squashes."
"Dad, please come down, I need you right now, it's an emergency!" Miley replied anxiously.
"Yeah, as in, a Hannah Montana emergency!" Darla added.
Robbie Ray climbed up the ladder and soon looked into the window with a whacked out expression before climbing back down.
"You okay, Robbie?" Bud chuckled. "You look as though you saw a ghost."
"What is Loralei doin' rubbin' Hannah's feet?!" Robbie Ray glared at Miley and Darla as he climbed down the ladder.
"Hannah?" Bud replied out of disbelief.
"Technically, they're Lilly's feet." Darla said.
"Stay." Robbie Ray told the girls before storming inside the house.
"Oh, there's a strange little girl coming over." Bud noticed a pick-up truck dropping off someone.
"That's Miley's brother." Darla told him.
"Really?" Bud asked.
"Dad, Dad, we're all set, I talked to Derrick, and-" Jackson tried only to be ignored by his father. "What's with him?"
"Get a haircut." Bud told Jackson, handing him a five dollar bill.
"But right now, let's sneak a peek in the window." Darla said.
Robbie Ray soon came in to talk with Loralei as Lilly pretended to be asleep. Darla began to climb up the ladder to see what was going on. The two adults were making slight small talk. Darla hid a smirk as she saw that these two were clearly into each other, and where they were about to kiss.
"I think they're gonna kiss!" Jackson told Miley.
"Good!" Miley beamed before cheering. "Go, Daddy, go, Daddy!"
"Oh, yeah!" Darla smiled.
The two were close to kissing until they heard 'Hannah' snore. Jackson saw Loralei coming to the window and quickly ducked down so she wouldn't see him, and where she soon opened the window and which was bad news for Jackson. Miley kept dancing as her brother was about to fall with the ladder.
"Uh, Miley?" Darla spoke up.
Miley soon saw what was happening, and... CRASH!
"Oh, Jackson, are you okay?" Darla asked as she helped the older boy out of the squash patch.
Jackson babbled and soon had a squash on his head.
"Uh-oh..." Darla said.
Jackson soon got very dizzy and fell over. Darla took the squash and took it off his head.
"Thanks." Jackson said.
"No problem." Darla smiled.
"At least somebody cares!" Jackson then glared at Miley.
"Sorry, I was just excited that Dad and Loralei were going to kiss." Miley said.
Everyone soon came inside as special treats were made.
"These are healthy," Vita commented. "What's in them?"
"Squash." Ruby told her which made Jackson smile nervously.
Mo soon saw who was outside and gestured for Miley and Lilly to come over to the window.
"Ooh, I want a cowboy~" Lilly smirked.
"Sorry, that one's taken." Miley replied.
"Really?" Lilly asked.
"Yeah... No... Maybe, I don't know," Miley replied nervously as they watched Travis. "It looks like we're just going to be friends, but he hasn't met Hannah yet~"
They soon rushed off to get Miley's Hannah disguise. Travis began to do some yard work as Miley and Lilly came back out with Miley as Hannah. They tried to talk, but Travis with the tools was too loud.
"Hey, look, it's Hannah Montana!" Lilly called out.
Travis stopped his work and yelped in surprise once he saw the teen pop sensation. "Oh, hi, sorry, didn't see you... I'm Travis. Thanks fer comin'."
'Finally, he noticed.' Darla thought to herself.
"Yeah, happy to help," Lilly smiled. "This is Lilly, my, uh-"
"Assistant!" Darla quickly input.
"Uh, executive assistant." Lilly quickly added in.
"Welcome to Crowley Corners." Travis welcomed Lilly and 'Hannah'.
"Maybe you should give Hannah a tour?" Darla asked.
"Yeah, it sure would be nice to have someone show us around." Lilly agreed.
"Real smooth." Hannah deadpanned.
"What?" Lilly asked.
"Look, I don't think I'm yer guy, but nice to meet ya." Travis replied, about to leave.
'What next?' Darla thought to herself.
Lilly then shoved Hannah over to the boy.
"So, putting up a satellite dish?" Hannah smiled nervously.
"It's a bird bath." Travis told her.
"I knew that." Hannah said.
This caused Lilly and Darla to giggle as Hannah thought that was a satellite dish.
"Lilly, could you go find the owner of this fine house and run them through my dietary needs?" Hannah requested.
"You heard her, Lilly." Darla said.
"Go! Assist!" Hannah shooed her away.
"Okay." Lilly shrugged and soon walked off.
"I'll just go and see what the girls are doing." Darla said as she went to find Amber and Annabelle.
Hannah and Travis decided to talk. Darla hummed the Sailor Moon theme song as she came to find her friends.
"Are you lost?" Annabelle cooed to a hamster she found. "You must be hungry."
"It's so cute~" Amber added.
"It sure is." Annabelle smiled.
"Hey, girls," Darla smiled to her best friends. "What're we looking at?"
Amber and Annabelle showed the hamster they found.
"Aw, so cute!~" Darla squealed before suddenly speaking Japanese. "Kawaii desu!~"
"Huh?" Amber and Annabelle asked out of confusion.
"Oops, sorry," Darla giggled sheepishly. "I've been thinking about Sailor Moon lately."
The hamster began to bow to Darla while speaking Japanese.
"Oh! Um... Uh..." Darla smiled to the hamster. "Annabelle, this hamster speaks Japanese."
"What's it saying?" Annabelle asked.
"Um... Hang on..." Darla said before coming to her big brother. "Atticus, can I borrow your Equestrian medallion to translate Japanese that I don't know?"
"Sure." Atticus said.
"Thanks..." Darla smiled as she borrowed his medallion.
Amber, Annabelle, and the hamster waited until Darla came back.
"Okay, let's try this again." Darla said as she wore her brother's medallion so she could understand the hamster.
"Hello, human!" The hamster spoke to her, now being translated from Japanese to English.
"Hello, little guy." Darla smiled.
"Hi!" The hamster smiled. "Have either of you seen Laura Haruna?"
"Laura Haruna?" The girls repeated.
"She's my owner," The hamster replied. "My name is Hamtaro."
"No, sorry, I've never heard of her." Darla said apologetically.
"Oh..." The hamster's ears drooped.
"Oh, you must be a lost hamster..." Annabelle frowned to the orange and white hamster.
"Uh-huh," Hamtaro replied. "I'm on vacation with Laura and our best friends: Oxnard and Kana. We had a Ham-Ham mission and I got separated from them by accident, and now I can't find anyone. I then found these girls who seemed kind and they fed me and took care of me, almost like they have ham-hams of their own, but they don't seem to have any."
"We're just great with all animals." Amber smiled.
"You poor thing though," Darla cooed to the poor hamster. "I'm sure we'll help you find your friends."
"Oh, many thanks," Hamtaro replied. "Many humans don't know about our adventures."
"I can only imagine." Darla said.
"So, you speak Japanese?" Hamtaro asked Darla.
"A little bit," Darla smiled bashfully. "I know a thing or two from my friends Serena, Amy, Raye, Lita, and Mina."
"Laura has a cousin named Raye." Hamtaro smiled.
"Oh, really?" Darla asked as she had a feeling about a possible connection with the hamster's owner and possible the one she knew as Sailor Mars. "What's she like?"
Hamtaro began to tell her everything he knew. Darla nodded as Raye's descriptions sounded very familiar to her.
"You seem to know Raye even though you don't know Laura?" Hamtaro realized.
"Yes, I do," Darla nodded before winking. "And much more than that~"
"You girls will help me get back to Laura, right?" Hamtaro asked.
"We'll try to see what we can do," Darla smiled. "Scout's Honor."
"Yeah!" Amber and Annabelle smiled as well.
Hamtaro smiled back to them as he felt glad to have accidentally run into them.
"So, where was the last time you saw Laura?" Darla asked.
"We were in our hotel," Hamtaro began to explain. "Kana and Laura put us in our cages as they went down to get some lunch and would be right back so we could all do something together, even if we are Ham-Hams. We were then given a mission from Boss, and we had to get going. We were somewhere near a zoo, I think, there were lots of animals, but then the horses ran all around and I lost Oxnard and the other Ham-Hams, and since I hadn't been here before, I couldn't find anyone familiar! It wasn't anything like Flower Ranch where Kana's cousin Dylan lives with his pet Ham-Ham he calls Pepper, who by the way, Oxnard is in love with like I am with Bijou~"
"Hmm... That's a stretch." Darla said.
Hamtaro pouted.
"Don't cry, we'll get you back home." Amber promised.
"One way or another." Annabelle added.
"And until then, you can stay with us." Darla invited.
Hamtaro smiled to them all.
"I know a lot about animal care from my Aunt Anita," Amber smiled. "She had 101 Dalmatians."
"101 dogs?!" Hamtaro gasped in shock.
"Yep." Amber nodded.
"Wow..." Hamtaro muttered before he soon anime fell which made the girls giggle slightly since they knew the hamster was okay.
The girls giggled as they went off while carrying Hamtaro in their hands.
"Do you have a pet?" Hamtaro asked Annabelle and Amber.
"My parents are allergic to pet dander." Amber replied.
"I don't have one either." Annabelle shook her head.
"I have a cat though, but she won't hurt you." Darla promised.
"Hmm... Maybe I can find some Ham-Hams for ya." Hamtaro offered.
"Did you girls find a rat?" Cherry asked. "I bet it's so disgust-OOH! LOOK AT THE CUTE HAMSTER!" she then gushed and cooed about how adorable Hamtaro looked. "He is so adorable, I can't even stand it! Just look at his chubby widdle cheeky weekies~!"
"Isn't he cute?" Darla smiled.
Cherry whimpered and cooed at the adorableness that Hamtaro had. Hamtaro smiled to the girls and soon danced in Annabelle's hands.
"Wow, I didn't know that you could dance." Annabelle smiled.
"I can do all sorts of things," Hamtaro smiled before frowning in homesickness. "Like eating sunflower seeds, and running around in my wheel."
Darla soon frowned before getting an idea before taking Hamtaro and running to Atticus.
Atticus washed his hands before his eyes widened and he looked down to see his little sister. "Oh, hey, Darla, whatcha got there?"
"This is Hamtaro, and I was wondering if you could read his memory to find out how far he is from his owner." Darla said.
"Hmm... Let me see what I can do." Atticus replied.
"It's so good to meet humans who can talk back with me." Hamtaro smiled.
Atticus soon placed his right hand on him. Hamtaro looked up to Atticus with his big and beady black eyes. Atticus's eyes soon glowed. Hamtaro's eyes seemed to glow with Atticus's.
Atticus could see the view from inside a hamster cage as it was being set down on a nightstand next to a pair of twin beds in a hotel room.
"Well, here we are, sweetie, welcome to Crowley Corners." A brown-haired woman smiled to her daughter as she stood with a black-haired man who wore glasses.
"Hope it's a good vacation for you and your friend." The man added.
"This is so exciting." A darker brown-haired girl with glasses smiled to a girl with lighter brown hair as she held a hamster cage with a gray and white hamster who looked a little chubby.
'Wow, so this is what it's like through a hamster's eyes.' Atticus thought to himself.
Soon enough, Atticus was lifted by the girl named Laura in her hands before she set him down on the ground while kneeling with her best friend, Kana.
"Hey, Hamtaro, you think they got good seeds in America?" Oxnard asked with a hungry chuckle.
'This must be one of Hamtaro's friends.' Atticus thought to himself.
The two hamsters soon played together while staying close within distance of Laura and Kana so they wouldn't get terribly lost. A big hamster with a hat soon came out to see Hamtaro and Oxnard before telling them about a mission they had. Laura and Kana giggled as they were going to try out horseback riding while Jackson seemed to be there to warn them about the animals since he was working with his cousin Derrick.
"Hamtaro? Hamtaro!" Laura called out for her hamster, but she didn't see or hear him before she rode on her horse's back. "He must be with Mom and Dad."
Oxnard looked worried for his best friend as he sat in Kana's pocket as she climbed onto the other horse's back.
"I hope he's alright." Oxnard said.
"Laura! Laura!" Hamtaro cried out until the horses ran and he ended up lost in the dust. "Laura...?"
The horses had gone off and Hamtaro appeared to be alone.
"Laura? Oxnard? Boss?" Hamtaro called out. "Anyone?!" He then looked down with tears in his eyes as he got lost and separated from his friends and family.
Both Atticus and Hamtaro's eyes soon stopped glowing.
"I think I might know who would know where his owner is." Atticus said.
"Oh, good!" Darla replied.
Hamtaro wiped his eyes as he missed his owner very much.
"Don't worry, Hamtaro, we got this," Atticus soothed the hamster. "We just have to find Jackson."
Hamtaro tilted his head slightly. Miley soon came inside with Lilly to find a dress to wear.
"I'll deal with her later." Darla said as she thought Hamtaro was more important right now.
"You find out what's going on with Miley while me and Hamtaro find Jackson so then we can find out where Laura is." Atticus said to Darla.
"Oh... Uh... Okay..." Darla replied. "Let me know if it goes well."
"Don't worry, Sis," Atticus smiled. "You should be with your friends. Your big brother will handle this."
"Okay." Darla said.
