The Story of Hamtaro Ch.4

First off, I would to say sorry for not posting as much as I used too. I am also going try to start a crossover with Hamtaro and Pokemon. If you think this is a good or bad idea let me know. Second, I am going to write this story in some of the characters POV. This will be the second time I do this. Ok, I will try to finish this story before I start college.

Hamtaro POV

It was a wonderful summer day. The green grass complemented the blue sky perfectly. It was a great day to go out and enjoy it. I have not been to a festival in some time and I am so glad that I can go to this one. When the girls came out, I could not help but note their kimonos. Pashmina wore a pink kimono with a white sash, Sandy also wore a pink kimono but her sash was pink as well, Penelope wore a yellow kimono with a yellow sash, and Bijou wore a light blue kimono with a white sash. Penelope was jumping up and down excited about going to her first festival saying things like "I'm going to eat all the sweets" and "I'm going to win all the prizes". It was nice to see Penelope having fun. I walked over to girls and asked, "Are you guys ready to go?" They nodded and soon we left. As we made it to the town, we broke into our groups. I saw Boss and Stan trying to decide where they would go first. Bijou was the one who chose by going to the wagashi stand, alongside Penelope.

"Penelope, wait," Pashmina said. "You'll spoil your appetite." Pashmina started running after Penelope, who was in the process of trying to consume all the sweets. I looked and saw that Boos and Stan were still fighting over where they would go. I sighed and towards Bijou who was looking over the food.

"Hey Bijou, need some help?" I asked.

"What are these?" she asked not knowing.

"These foods are called wagashi. They are sweets made from fruits and nuts," I explained and she nodded in understanding so I continued. "Most are centered on anko, which is basically a bean paste. I think you should try anmitsu." I handed over the treat so she could try it.

"Are you sure?" Bijou asked. I nodded as I encouraged her to try it. She had that look of doubt everyone has when trying something new. I chuckled as she ate it. "It's delicious!" Seeing her face light up like a child brought a smile to my face.

"Well don't eat too much. Like Pashmina said it will ruin your appetite," I said looking around for my group. "Well I got to go. See you later." I waved and caught up with my group. Penelope ate too many sweets so Pashmina and I had to hold Penelope's hands so she would not run all over the place. After twenty minutes or so, Penelope fell asleep as the energy left her. I carried her around the festival.

"Hey Hamtaro, can I ask you some questions?" Pashmina asked me. I nodded so she started to ask. "What's your relationship with Penelope?"

"Well, I'm a servant to her family," I answered. "But I have been around her so much; she's like family to me."

"I see," she responded. "So, how did your family come to serve Penelope's?"

"Well," I pondered, "my family was in debt and her family agreed to pay it off." I knew what she was going to ask next so I decided to just tell her. "We were in debt because our expenses outweigh our income."

"That's the idea of debt," she answered. "But how did it occur?"

"Well," I started to scratch my head, "we have a thing with gambling."

"That's all I needed to know," she responded. "By the way, how is your wound?"

I saw the look of concern in her eyes. "It's healed up pretty nicely. I forgot to thank you for your help." As I said that, I noticed her face was slightly pink. But I chose not to say anything. She didn't look sick, so I thought it was nothing. As we walked through, we came across a group of girls. I noticed that Pashmina asked if we could walk faster when the girls noticed us.

"Hi Pashmina," the girl said with brown hair.

"Oh, hi Oshare," Pashmina said meekly. "I didn't know you would be here."

"Of course I would be," Oshare said proudly. "The prettiest girl in our town should attend our summer festival." She said this before turning to look at me. "Who's your new friend?"

"His name is Hamtaro," Pashmina said knowing where this was going. "Why are you doing this?"

"What am I doing?" Oshare said in a mocking tone.

"You know what you're doing," Pashmina said sadly.

"Hamtaro, do you want to know her nickname?" Oshare said with a devious smile.

"Alright what is it?" I asked because I was wondering.

"It's Pashmina the board," Oshare said only to receive a confused look. "It's because she has boring personality and is flat as a board. Hamtaro when you're ready for a real woman, come find me." With that, she blew me a kiss and left with the group of girls.

I looked back at Pashmina who was about to cry. To have a peer judge you so negatively for no reason hurts so much. I know how that feels. I told her not to cry and went to hug her. She asked me why I did what I did, I just told her I will not let my friends get hurt in any way. I think I saw her face light up with joy. After that, we decided to go to a game booth. There was Boss, Stan, and Bijou at the booth already. "Hey guys!" I yelled at them. They waved back as Bijou went into the tent.

"Hey Hamtaro," Boss said. "Bijou won a prize. She went into the back with the booth owner to get her prize." I nodded and then I saw it. There it was, my family sword. I was so ecstatic to see it. Lucky for me, the owner came out and I asked him if I could win the sword. He told me all I had to do was guess even or odd on a dice. I called out even and it was four. He led me in the back. I asked him where my friend was. That was when I heard a mumbling sound.

"What was that?" I asked.

"It was probably a stray," the shop owner answered. "You shouldn't worry about it."

"You still haven't answered my question," I said with a hint of anger. "Where is my friend?"

"You sure are persistent," the shop owner said angry. "Since you don't want to pick your prize, you need to get out. Don't worry about your friend. When this is over, she'll be making me some money."

"You wouldn't dare," I said with pure anger.

"What can I say, wealthy men have needs that one woman can't satisfy," the shop owner said. "Once I train her to do things."

"I know who you are Kazuhiro," I said with hate. "After all, you were the one who stole my sword."

"Oh you're that kid," Kazuhiro said. "I thought you had drowned." I chuckled at his comment. "What's so funny? Wait, when did you get your sword?"

"Allow me to introduce myself," I said about live up to my family name. "My name is Hamtaro Haruna of the Haruna Clan."

"Oh no, you're from that clan," Kazuhiro said with fear in his eyes. "Please forgive me. Your friend is over there." He then went over to where she was. Unfortunately, she lost consciousness during the argument between Kazuhiro and me.

"Thanks, but I still have to pay you back for what you did to me," I told him staring into his eyes that were full of fear. I unsheathed my sword and a quick clean cut. Kazuhiro fell down not moving. I carried Bijou out with my sword and a got looks from Boss. I told him what happened and was about to go assault him when I told him I took care of it. He laughed. Well at end of the day, Bijou gave Boss and Stan a flower necklace. Then, she gave me a kiss on the cheek. Boss and Stan chased me around the hideout. All in all, it was the day.
