(This is not a sequel to Star Palace, K? This story has nothing to do with it. Also, I might make a sequel to Star Palce soon.)

Hamtaro's POV

It all started on a school day, like most bad days start. I was walking to school, and it was already thundering. I lived alone here, my ma and pa lived at a shop in China. I was walking with my best friend, Bijou. "So Bijou... did you pass that science test?" "Non 'Amtaro.. Eet was much too hard.." She said, in her cute French accent. Then I felt the ground shake a bit. "Looks like Oxnard is here..." I said happily, to see my other friend. "Hey du-" I tried to say, but a flash of lightning struck about 1 foot away from us. Trouble was near...

3rd Person

"O-Oxnard? Ya there?" Hamtaro yelled out, as the enormous thunder shook the ground. "Hamtaro! Over here!" Hamtaro heard Oxnard yell. "Where?!" Hamtaro yelled out. ...No one responded then. " 'Amtaro... I zaw a huge vlash ov lightning heet around that McDonald'z on ze corner!" Bijou yelled out. Thunder rumbled around them, as they felt the ground shake.. "Did he..." Hamtaro said, nervously. Hamtaro knew that Oxnard would eat McDonald's for breakfast on school days because his mom couldn't cook very well. So there was a chance he got struck by the lightning. "Hamtaro!" Oxnard randomly appeared behind them. "Oh Oxnard! I'm zo glad you were zafe!" Bijou said, happily. "Same. Oxnard you're like, one of my best buds. I wouldn't know what I would do without you!" Hamtaro yelled out. "I'm glad you guys are safe too. But let's get going. School is going to start in about 20 minutes you know.." Thunder started rumbling near them, but they got to school on time. As soon as school started, Hamtaro's science teacher, Mr. Xplosion(oof. Wonderful name, right?) walked up to him. "Hamtaro... I am pleased to announce that you're the only one who got a 100% on that test yesterday!" He said, and gave him a certificate for McDonald's. "Um..Dude you don't mind sharing that with me, right?" Oxnard said, his stomach growling. Bijou giggled. "Again? C'mon you juzt ate! Alzo 'Amtaro, congratz on the zertificate! I knew you vould make it! You're one of the zmartezt Human Hamzterz I know!" Bijou said, beaming. She also had a tint of red on her cheeks, which grew larger when she saw Hamtaro blushing also. "Sure dude! And thanks Bijou! You're smart, too. Both of you!" Hamtaro told Oxnard and Bijou. A crowd of teens gathered upon Hamtaro. Sparkle and Oshare came up to them. Hamtaro had knew that they had a crush on him. He had previously dated Oshare, but she wasn't really his type. He was glad she didn't make a huge deal out of it though. He was happy being friends with Oshare, even if she still liked him. Now Sparkle, on the other hand.. "Hamtaro... why are you still hanging out with these dorks? You deserve better than this, darling!" Sparkle said, glaring at Oxnard and Bijou. She and Oshare have been best friends ever since that time when they both were partners for that social studies project. "Um.. my friends aren't dorks..." Hamtaro responded to her. Hamtaro kind of considered Sparkle a friend, but only a 'once in a while' kind of friend. Like those kinds that just say "Hey." in the hallway and then leave. That was rare too, since Hamtaro was friends with everyone in the grade. So that wasn't such a good look on Sparkle. "Sparkle!" Mr. Xplosion called out. "Ugh..." Sparkle groaned as she walked up to the science teacher. Oshare sighed. "Zorry about zat, 'Amtaro. Zparkle can get jealouz zometimez.." Oshare said, looking down. "It's fine Oshare. It's not your fault." Hamtaro said, smiling at her. Oshare blushed a bit. Then Boss came up to them. Boss looked angry. "Hey Boss! How are you!" Hamtaro asked. "Oh... um...I'm fine.." He said. Hamtaro could see the anger in his eyes. Then Bijou came up to him. "Oh Bozz! About ze math project.." Bijou said to Boss, smiling. "Um.. y-yeah.." Boss said, turning red. They went to the hallway together. Oshare looked at them go. "Now that's a couple!" Sparkle said as she came back with a 95% on her test and a coupon to Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers. Hamtaro looked at her weirdly. "...What?" Hamtaro said, nervously. Then a flash of lightning striked as Sparkle fake laughed her way out of this. Thunder rumbled in the distance. "Don't you see it, Hamtaro? Boss and Bijou? Smoochy smooch?" Sparkle said. Hamtaro looked at her, a nervous expression on his face. "I think you broke Hamtaro.." Oxnard said, patting Hamtaro's back. "Zparkle.. zey aren't-" Oshare tried to say, but got elbowed by Sparkle. "Just play with it!" Sparkle whispered into Oshare's ear. "They can't be.." Hamtaro said. "Vat's wrong 'Amtaro?" Oshare said to Hamtaro. "Hahaha..." Hamtaro fake laughed. Sparkle's eyes grew huge. "H-Hamtaro...do you l-like Bijou?!" A huge flash of lightning lit up Hamtaro's red face. Loud thunder clapped as the ground rumbled. The electricity went out. "Well...um... I gotta go! Hahaha... you know... that math project... I have to work with lazy Oshare..." Sparkle said, in a whiny tone. "Vat? I'm not lazy!" Oshare said, mad while being dragged out of the cafeteria. Oxnard stared at Hamtaro doubtfully. "Hamtaro...I don't really trust that Sparkle girl.. I feel like she's going to try to torture Bijou or blackmail her or something..." "I don't think that will happen because of Stan. You know how he gets if anyone messes with Bijou or Pashmina.." Hamtaro said. "And Boss, too." Oxnard said. "Huh?" Hamtaro said, a bit confused. "Didn't you know already? Boss likes Bijou, too." Oxnard said. "...Great, I have no chance with Bijou now.. It's just... that I feel she really cares about me, she's kind, and she's cute..." And then Boss came in, and by the looks of his face, he heard everything. "O-Oxnard... I told you not to tell the clueless kid!" Boss yelled. "I-it kinda slipped out..." Oxnard said, really scared. Boss walked closer to Hamtaro. "Just don't try to make moves on my girl okay? Unless you want 2 black eyes, that is..." Boss said, his face extremely close to Hamtaro's. Hamtaro was scared also. He'd seen what Boss can do when he's mad. He once made Stan's nose bleed when he put a dead roach on her sunflower seed nuggets. Stan made sure never to mess with Bijou again. And besides, Stan only did it because Bijou kept rejecting him. Not because he hated Bijou or something. But overall, Boss was usually a good guy to everyone, especially when Bijou was around. "...Boss, you don't own her... Bijou can like whoever she wants to like... even Stan.. If she's happy, I'm happy..." Hamtaro said, trying to leave, but Boss was grabbing his arm. Oxnard came up to him. "Boss... leave him be. He did nothing to you... also Bijou wasn't always your girl. Remember when you liked Oshare?" Oxnard said, trying to take Boss's hand off of Hamtaro's arm. Boss blushed a little. "And I bet you still have a small crush on her." Oxnard said. "...Doesn't matter... I'll let you guys go this time because you're good friends of mine... but.. no moves on Bijou..." Boss said, in a menacing tone and let Hamtaro go. Hamtaro landed on the floor with a thud! and quickly got up. "Sorry about that.." Oxnard said. "I shouldn't have said anything... I told Boss I wouldn't tell anyone, even you!" "It's alright dude... we have to get to class soon." Hamtaro said. "The electricity's still out.." Oxnard said. Hamtaro thought about this day. It wasn't a good day.. First, it started raining, as a huge storm was expected to hit near his school today. Then Sparkle came in and told him that Bijou and Boss were dating-which left him feeling all sour and sluggish. And then, Boss won't let him date Bijou- because she's his girl.. But... the day still wasn't over...
