Stan: No prob ^_^ **Shoves Seed onto stick**
Caiti: So, do you wanna sit next to me, **Stan blinks** In case I need anymore help I mean.
Stan: Uh, sure.
Howdy: Time to tell ghost stories!
Boss: I got a good one! Only, it might be too scary for you
Howdy: Naw, were brave! Now tell us that dang story!
Boss: Oh no, its much too scary for you.
Bijou: Oh! Pleaze tell us Boss!
Boss: ^_^ Ok.
In a dark cage on a stormy night, A group of Hams, just like us, went on a campout. They decided to tell scary stories,
**As the story continues, the Hams gasp in the right place**
The first Hams told a scary story about a cat named Giripe. Harold, said he didnt believe in the story and went to bed.
Stan: *Thinking* Ill just hold her paw. In the right place, no harm done right?
But what he didnt know, was that the story was true and the beast of the forest was there!
Stan: No harm. Itll be fine.
The Ham shouted I dont believe in Giripe! Nothing happened, he thought he had outsmarted his friends, until, something in the bush moved.
Stan: Ok, almost the right place.
He said, Whos there? And the thing didnt answer. So he looked into the bushes and the thing took his head off!
**Everyone screamed**
Caiti: **Grabs Stans Paw**
Stan: **Gives Caiti a weird look**
Caiti: **Takes paw back quickly, just noticing the mistake**
Stan: **Sits there, unsure of what just happened**
**Everyone pretended not to notice**
Boss: Uh, the end.
Bijou: Boss, that vaz truly scary!
Sandy: **Noticing Caitis embarrassment** I think Im done with scary stories.
Pashmina: **Noticing Que.** Yeah.
Bijou: **Catching both ques** Hey Caiti! Vat is this?
Caiti: What? Oh. That is a Scavenger Hunt map.
All: A what?
Caiti: **Still blushing furiously** Well you set up different items on the list, make a map, and get put into two teams. The teams use the map and try to find as many items as possible before the time runs out.
All: Cool!
Pashmina: Can we do it?
Caiti: Sure. Just get into two teams.
Boss: Ill be the leader of one team!
Hamtaro: I wanna be another captain!
Dexter: Ill be on Pashminas team!
Howdy: No way! Im going to be on her team!
**Group breaks into chaos**
Caiti: **Raising Voice** Um, well, while you guys are getting into teams, Im going to take a walk. Does anyone want to come with me?
**All wait**
Caiti: Thats ok. Ill go alone then. **Walks into woods**
**Everyone waits till shes gone**
All: STAN!
Stan: What?
Boss: Two things buddy! One, seize the moment! You gotta take any chance you get! She asked if anyone wanted to go with her and you didnt say anything!
Dexter: And two,
Howdy: That girl grabbed your hand when she was scared and you acted like she was a lunatic!
Stan: Well what was I supposed to do!
Howdy and Dexter: Anything!
**Place breaks into chaos again**
Sandy: **Sneaks out into woods** Caiti?
Sandy: **Sees Caiti looking at the stars sitting on a log**
Caiti: **Turns around, tears streaked down her face** Oh! (sniff) Sandy (whips face /sniff) I didnt hear you coming.
Sandy: Whats wrong Caiti?
Caiti: Well, its just. Im embarrassed about what I did.
Sandy: The paw thing.
Caiti: Yeah. I mean, (sniff) back in Jamaica my friends and I used to do this all the time. I thought if I did this with you guys, It would help me get over the fact Ill never see him again.
Sandy: Him?
Caiti: Yeah, I had a ham in my life. Him, and me we were like you and Maxwell. Id sit next to him and hold his paw when I got scared. I guess I just forgot that I was with a different group of people and reached for a hand, that wasnt there. (sniff)
Sandy: Oh, well, we will like, totally try and be the best friends you have every had Caiti.
Caiti: Thanks Sandy, youre a good friend.
Sandy: Wow, like, the sky is so beautiful when its dark.
Caiti: Its like jewels on black velvet or something.
Sandy: I never thought of it that way.
Caiti: **giggles** Yea, I think of things differently then most Hams. Kinda embarrassing even.
Sandy: No, I like your way better. Black velvet and jewels, how beautiful.
Caiti: You know, Sandy, we have a lot more in common then it seems
Sandy: Like what?
Caiti: **gives a weak smile** It would be easier for me to show you.
Sandy: When?
Caiti: Oh, when your ready.
Sandy: **laughs**
Caiti: Thanks for talking with me Sandy, it makes me feel a lot better.
Sandy: Do ya think your ready to come back to the campsite?
Caiti: (sniff) If you dont mind, I think Id like to just stay here and look at the sky for a while, you can go back.
Sandy: If you say so.
**Goes back to Site things have calmed down and the girls are talking by a tree**
Bijou: How iz she?
Sandy: Shes doing fine.
Pashmina: What was she doing?
Sandy: Like, just looking at the sky and stuff. She went on a walk just to get her mind off of her last home.
Pashmina: What about it?
Sandy: Well, turns out she had a boyfriend there that she missed. They used to have campouts together with her friends and when she got scared of a ghost story, shed grab his paw.
Bijou: Zat iz so sweet!
Sandy: Yeah, she said she must have escaped from reality and like, totally thought Stan was her boyfriend for a minute.
Pashmina: Easy mistake. Stan can make anyone think hes their boyfriend.
Penelope: Okyoo.
**Howdy was listening. He runs back over to the boys**
Howdy: Guys! You wont believe what the girls said.
Stan: What, **Sitting down by a tree feeling sorry for Caiti**
Howdy: They said Caiti used to have a boyfriend! And they used to go on campouts with each other!
Maxwell: Thats cool, like Sandy and me.
Howdy: Exactly, only when she got scared she used to hold her boyfriends paw! She musta forgot she wasnt with her boyfriend and held Stans paw instead!
Hamtaro: That makes sense.
Oxnard: Yeah,
Hamtaro: Hear that Stan! She thought you where her boyfriend for a minute! So you can be friends again!
Stan: Oh. **doesnt know how he feels about the news**
Boss: Stan? You still alive over there?
Stan: Yea, Im just going to take a walk ok? Get my mind off things?
All Boys: Heke?
**Stan walks into woods and Sandy comes up**
Sandy: Guys? Whered Stan go?
All Boys: Um,
**Stan walks and sees Caiti**
Stan: Caiti?
Caiti: **Turns around** Stan! (sniffs and whips tears again)
Caiti: **Laughs** Im sorry you had to see me like this.
Stan: I dont care baby. **Sits next to her on log**
Caiti: Look Stan, Im sorry about what happened when we were telling ghost stories. I just missed my friends and
Stan: So you didnt really mean to hold my paw?
Caiti: Well, I didnt mean, I mean I meant too, but not like that, I mean.
Stan: **Smiles a little** You dont have to answer that if you dont want.
Caiti: **Smiles** Look at the sky. **They look**
Stan: Thats really cool, Ive never really seen the sky at night! All those little lights make it glitter.
**Back at Campsite**
Sandy: Ill ask you again, where did Stan go?
Cappy: Well, he
Hamtaro: We dont really know, he said he was going on a walk to clear his mind and all.
Dexter: Thats all we know.
Sandy: Why would he want to go into the woods all alo- **Figures it out and goes into the woods herself**
Caiti: Look! Its a shooting Star!
Stan: Cool! It goes as fast as I do on my skateboard.
Caiti: **giggles** Im sure.
Stan: Yup.
Caiti: I wish that I could go anywhere I want. Be a free hamster like Boss. **sigh** Even though I know its probably never going to happen.
Stan: Hey baby, wishes can come true. **winks**
Caiti: Youd love it in Jamaica though Stan. There is music playing everywhere! Its always a party and you always meet new people!
Stan: Ok, weird question.
Caiti: Im listening.
Stan: Tell me about your boyfriend.
Caiti: How did you know?
Stan: I have my sources.
Caiti: Well, he was always there for me,
I can do that.
Caiti: He was really sweet,
Check
Caiti: Had a sense of Humor
Humor? I can give you humor, Check.
Caiti: And he had a personality most girls wouldnt like,
Stan: Which was?
Caiti: Well, he was a big flirt.
Me! Thats me all over! Maybe I have a chance!
Stan: **Trying to hold in his delight** Sounds cool.
Caiti: Yeah.
Stan: So, I was wondering, well, I mean, if you werent busy tomorrow, if you might wanna come to my cage and

Boss: Someone seems to have snapped back to reality.
Stan: You better believe it! I got her falling for me!
Maxwell: Way to go Stan! **Gives him high-five**
Hamtaro: Wha? Why do you want to fall for someone?
Oxnard: If it helps Hamtaro, I donno what they mean either.
**At the Girls area**
Sandy: So howd it go?
Caiti: Well, I said Id go on a date with him.

All girls: Yay!
Hamtaro: Ready guys!
All guys: Yeah!
**Hunt is over and everybody is in the sleeping bags**
Cappy: Still cant believe the girls won.
Boss: They only won cause Oxnard tripped that one time
Sandy: Oh no! We like, kicked butt!
Boys: **grumble**
Hamtaro: Well, wed better get to sleep. This was a great idea Caiti, and we are going to have to do it again sometime!
Caiti: Well, thanks! Im glad we got to do it!
Oxnard: Next time we should bring more food though, cause Im still hungry.
