/ sorry for being slow with this; was feeling demotivated (this chapter's writing has only been started in January); also this is like the chapter that actually has something to do with the universe of Ham-Ham Heartbreak
She woke up.
The surroundings were the same as it was before the… vision? Vision sounded like a good name for it. Now that she knew why she was here, she clumsily stood up and–
The doors opened.
"Another one?"
Sunny looked at the hamster up and down: it was a light grey hamster with dark grey ears.
"So, are you gonna keep staring…?" the hamster said.
"My bad… but, who are you?"
"Call me Arnie. And you are…?"
"Sunny… wait, what did you mean by 'another one'?"
"Well, for some reason hamsters appear in my closet sometimes… You're like, the fifth ham to do that. Also, come out of the closet."
Sunny nodded and stepped into the room. It was just two beds, two cushions and a table in the middle.
"Have a seat, I'll tell you everything."
Sunny nodded and sat down on the blue cushion on the right side of the room, confused. Arnie sat down opposite her.
"So, are you going to tell me the deal with this…?"
"Well, it's pretty simple," Arnie replied, "You died and came back to life in this place!"
"Okay," she answered, still confused.
There was a knock on the door.
"That'll be my brother. Come in!"
From the door entered a smaller grey hamster. He looked startled when he saw Sunny in the room.
"Who are you?!"
"This is Sunny," Arnie explained.
"Is this… another one of them…"
"Yes."
Arnie's brother sighed. Well, fine…
"Should I go now?" asked Sunny, not wanting to disturb him anymore.
Arnie replied, "Yeah, probably."
And so Sunny went outside the house and… she got lost. Immediately.
Just great. Now what?
She knocked on the door. There was an audible sigh of Arnie's brother.
"Come in!" shouted Arnie.
Sunny hesitantly walked in.
"How do you get out of the cave?" she asked, visibly embarrassed.
"Down twice, right once, up once, right once more." Arnie answered.
"Okay…" Sunny closed the door and repeated over in her mind.
She went down the maze, carefully making sure she followed the directions, and suddenly, she was out of the cave. She was startled when she realised there was a cliff near ahead of her. She looked over to her right, and decided to approach a hamster with a hat that… looked like an acorn.
"Hello! I've never seen you here," said the hamster, "Who are you?"
"Uhm… my name is Sunny, what about yours?"
"The name's Seedric. I like hats and acorns!"
"So, uhm… where am I?"
Seedric looked a bit confused when she proposed the question. "This is Sunny Peak! And my house is like, right there," he pointed to a grassy area with flowers, "I have a hot spring if you wanna relax!"
"That would be nice…"
Seedric led her past the grass and into the hot spring.
