Hamtaro: Sorry it took me so long! It didnt help that everything was all wet because of the rain.
Panda: You bet! It has everything a boat needs, support, nice colors, life floats-
Panda: We'd better start building then.
Sandy: She told us that shed be late cause her owner leaves for work at ten.
Panda: Thanks Boss.
Dexter: We should have a due date. You know, so we know how fast to work.
Maxwell: Dont be so sure. Egyptians used to build big pyramids in short periods of time by getting in groups and splitting the work.
Panda: Yup! ^_^ This is almost perfect.
Panda: Yeah, the only flaw I can find is, we dont have any water.
Cappy: Lets get into groups then.
Boss: Ok! I think Panda should help build the boat because he is the only one who can read the blueprints!
Hamtaro: And all in favor of Boss being on the team also, raise your paw.
**To make a long story short, they divide into groups**
~ At Caitis Cage ~
Caiti: Common Claire! Leave already!
Claire: Well, its almost ten.
Caiti: Only a little bit longer.
Claire: I have to do extra paperwork today. Fun, huh.
Caiti: It would help me answer that if I knew what paperwork was
Claire: Ill be going after I put on my makeup.
Caiti: It will be strange to see Stan today, after what happened yesterday
~ Flashback ~
Stan: **running** Caiti! Caiti where are you!
Caiti: **gasps for air** Stan! **coughs and goes back under water**
Stan: Caiti! **Jumps into water after her**
Stan: **Pulls her back up** Its ok! I got you! **coughs**
Caiti: **coughs**
Stan: **Pulls her toward land and lays her down**
Stan: Caiti! Can you hear me?
**Caiti coughs and water comes from her mouth**
Caiti: **gets up a little**
Stan: Are you alright?
Caiti: I-I think so,
Stan: Thats a relief, I thought I was going to loose you.
Caiti: **Hugs Stan** Oh Stan you saved my life! I would have drowned out there! **tears trickle down her face**
Stan: Calm down baby, Its alright now. **Hugs her** Youre alright now.
Caiti: **Lets go and looks into his eyes** Im sorry Stan, about everything. Im just a walking mess. You could be home right now all warm and dry but you had to save me and- Im just sorry.
Stan: Dont talk like that gorgeous. Besides, Id of come back anyway.
**Holds out locket and winks** You left your locket at the campsite.
**They both stare at the locket for a split second**
Caiti: **gasps** Oh Stan! **Hugs him**
~ End Flashback ~
Caiti: **sighs** I dont know what to do, I like Stan, but I cant just forget Tino
Claire: Caiti? Are you sleeping?
Caiti: **snaps back to reality** Heke?
Claire: Well, Id better go. Bye squirt!
Caiti: Yes!
**Caiti waits till the car is gone before getting out of the cage and running out of the Doggie Door**
Caiti: **slips** Whoa! This place is so slippery and wet! I need a better use of transportation.
Caiti: **glances at skateboard and smiles slyly** **shrugs** What the heck.
**Caiti rides the skateboard over the grass**
Caiti: Oh yeah baby!
~ Flashback ~
Caiti: Tino? Are you sure about this?
**Caiti is teetering on a skateboard, clearly her first time**
Tino: Dont be so stressed baby! Chill and put one foot on the ground.
Caiti: Ok, got it. What next?
Tino: Push off with that foot and hold on.
Caiti: Ok, wait! **looks around** Hold on to what!?
Tino: Just, balance and stuff.
Caiti: Ok, **starts to go forward very slowly**
Tino: Thats right.
Caiti: Im doing it! **starts to go faster**
Tino: Remember how to stop?
Caiti: Yeah, **stops**
Tino: Great job! Youll be a pro soon enough!
Caiti: **blushes** I wont ever stop practicing.
~ End Flashback ~
~ Back at the Clubhouse ~
**There is a pile of sticks and wood that the hams are making, Oxnard has a big bag he is holding**
Howdy: Hey guys! Youll never guess whos coming!
All: **look up**
Caiti: Hey everybody sorry Im late the grass was all wet so I took my board! **she said that in one breath**
Bijou: Ello Caiti!
Caiti: **runs over a stick and the board flips around** Whoa!
Sandy: You go girl!
Caiti: No! You guys dont understand! I c-cant do air tricks!
Caiti: **Lands on ground with thud** Ochichi
Hamtaro: Caiti you where great!
Caiti: Thanks, **rubs bottom** but I paid for it.
Stan: Yo Caiti! Whats up baby!
Caiti: Hey Stan!
Sandy: Caiti, common! Youre with the girls!
Caiti: What are we doing?
Bijou: Ve vill explain on the way!
**Caiti is dragged away and the work on the boat begins**
~ 30 Minutes Later ~
Boss: **puts down wood/stick** Ah! That really stretches the back!
Panda: The body of the boat is almost done! We are making great time! Next we will have to make the rooms, kitchen, paint, you know.
Howdy: Thats great time?
Panda: Sure, its only been thirty minutes after all.
Maxwell: Ill start making the crows nest!
Cappy: Ill help! **Both climb up on boat**
**Both fall into the boat**
Panda: Oh yeah, we also need the floor.
**All Hams fall down anime style**
~ Meanwhile in the woods ~
Hamtaro: Hiff-hiff, Common guys! I think I smell water!
Dexter: Wow, this is deep in the woods!
Oxnard: Ive never been this hungry before.
Sandy: Like, stop your moaning.
Hamtaro: Here it is!
Sandy: **gasps**
Dexter: What is it?
**They all look at the river**
Sandy: This is the place Caiti almost drowned at.
Hamtaro: Heke? Caiti almost drowned?
Sandy: Yeah.
Oxnard: Well, it looks good to me.
Dexter: Yeah, the trees, the breeze, its nice and romantic.
Sandy: Thats what Im afraid of.
Hamtaro: What do you mean by that Sandy?
Sandy: **looks at her feet** I know I should be happy for my brother, but its kinda weird that my brother and my best friend like each other.
Dexter: I see what you mean.
Hamtaro: Heke?
Dexter: Disregard it Hamtaro, just continue living in your simple happy world.
Hamtaro: Um, ok.
Oxnard: So can we go and eat or what?
Hamtaro: Sure Oxy! Lets tell em we found some water!
All: Badda Badda Badda
~ Meanwhile where the rest of the girls Are ~
Caiti: Is this right Bijou? **Shows her a chair she decorated black**
Bijou: Oui!
Pashmina: I love the stars you pained on them!
Caiti: Thanks! **Points at pink chair** I like your too!
Bijou: What about mine? **Picks up blue chair**
Pashmina + Caiti: Awesome!
Panda: **walks up to them** How are you guys doing?
Pashmina: Panda, so far we have painted 6 chairs, 3 tables, and Penelope is painting stairs so we dont have to climb up the boat to get in.
Penelope: Okyoo! **Holds up a paintbrush with pale yellow paint**
Panda: Great! **looks around** Has Hamtaro and his crew come back yet?
Bijou: No Panda.
Panda: The boat is almost built, it looks like the stuff inside is going well, its almost sunset and we have to have water.
Caiti: There they are! **waves**
Sandy: **waves back** Hey Caiti!
Panda: **calls** Hamtaro! Did you find water?
Hamtaro: Yup! ^_^
Panda: Great!
Boss: **calling to panda** Panda! The boat is ready to be decorated!
Panda: Great!
Bijou: We vill put everything in the boat.
Pashmina: Yeah!
Sandy: Can I help guys?
Caiti: Coarse!
Hamtaro: Lets finish everything up and get sailing!

Howdy: Aint she a beauty!
Sandy: Like, wow!
Hamtaro: Ready to sail!
Boss: I know christen this boat, SS Ham-Ham!
All: **cheer*
Panda: So where is this water Hamtaro?
Hamtaro: Deep in the woods over there, about a ten-minute walk.
All: WHAT!?
Maxwell: Hamtaro we cant pull the boat all the way out there!
Howdy: We meant find some close water!
Pashmina: So what do we do now?
All: **look at the boat and sigh**
Caiti: We can still make it!
All: Heke?
Caiti: **tilts boat and puts skateboard on it**
Sandy: Like, duh!
Stan: Its perfect!
Hamtaro: Alright Hams! Forward, **all grab boat** Hoe!
**Everyone pushes the boat forward**
Bijou: It is working!
Cappy: Well be there in no time!
**Boat starts to speed up**
Caiti: Um, guys? I think the boat is getting faster.
Maxwell: What? I cant hear you!
Caiti: I said-
**her words are cut short as the boat reaches a high speed and the hams swing into the air and are just holding on. Hamtaro manages to climb up onto of the boat**
Bijou: Were going to crash!
Hamtaro: Everybody just hold on!
Boss: Easy for you to say! Youre on the boat!
Howdy: This is the end!
Sandy: Look! I can see the river! Get ready to let go on 3!
Dexter: One
Boss: Two
Caiti: Three!
**All the Hams leap off, but Hamtaro stays onboard**
All: Hamtaro!
**The boat lands in the water and Hamtaro is safe and sound**
Hamtaro: **sigh** Few. ^_^ All aboard!
~ After Hamtaro gets off and everyone calms Down ~
Panda: Well, is everyone ready to get on?
Bijou: It iz so dark
Boss: Problem solved! **Boss puts a battery on a wire that lights a strand of Christmas lights that are arranged on deck.**
Boss: Panda saved these from his owners last Christmas party and I thought they made excellent lanterns.
Bijou: Boss! That was very smart of you!
Boss: **blushing madly, offers arm** Bijou? Can I escort you inside?
Bijou: **giggles** Thank you Boss.
Howdy and Dexter: Pashmina?
Howdy: For a minute there smart butt I thought you were going to ask Pashmina inside!
Dexter: I know I was what do you think you where doing!
Pashmina: **overhears them** Now boys, **grabs their arms**
Dexter: **Smiles**
Howdy: **Smiles, then starts poking Dexter with free arm**
Dexter: **pokes back and starts the whisper mean things**
Howdy: **whispers back and they start to fight**

Maxwell: **is being pulled by Sandy** Ok.
Stan: **kisses Caitis paw** Would you like to go in Miss?
Caiti: **giggles** But of coarse kind sir.
**As Caiti and Stan walk in**
~ In the Boat ~
All: Wow!
Panda: It turned out much better then I dreamed it to be!
Boss: Youd never think it was this roomy from the outside.
Sandy: This is like, so totally awesome!
Stan: This is what Im talkin about!
Oxnard: Food anyone? **He takes out the big bag, reveling**
Hamtaro: Food! Lots of it! **grabs a Veggie-O**
Oxnard: I couldnt wait another minute to eat them!
Stan: **looks up from his treat** So, um, Caiti.
Caiti: Yeah?
Stan: You wanna go up on the top of the boat? You know, somewhere more, **glances at group** private.
Caiti: **giggles** Sure Stan.
Stan: **lets out breath** Cool, then, lets go.
**They climb up a ladder to the top of the boat**
~ In the Boat ~
Hamtaro: Thanks for the seeds Oxy!
Oxnard: Welcome, only you dont have to thank me, I was hungry.
Cappy: So, uh, what do you guys wanna do now?
Howdy: I brought some music. **Pulls out banjo dont ask**
Pashmina: Oh Howdy! That was so clever of you!
**Howdy Beams and Dexter turns red**
Dexter: Yeah! Well, I have an instrument too!
**Dexter runs over to the other side of the boat and comes back with a can**
Sandy: A can?
Boss: We told you to go before we left Dexter. **Boss smirks**
Dexter: **getting frustrated** Its not for that!
Hamtaro: How do you play a can, Dexter?
Dexter: **sweat drops** Well, I mean, like, this. **taps can**
Maxwell: I get it! Its like a drum!
Dexter: Um, yeah, thats it.
Hamtaro: I want a drum too!
Oxnard: But Hamtaro, we dont have anymore cans.
Hamtaro: Then Ill just use a, uh, **looks around and notices wood**
Hamtaro: **grabs two pieces of scrap wood (sticks) and bangs them**
Hamtaro: Like this! **Bangs wood together**
Bijou: Zat looks like fun! **grabs wood with nails partly in it**
Bijou: How would I use this? **takes a stick and rubs wood**
Sandy: Thats like totally kewl! **is attaching her ribbon to wood**
Sandy: I made a, something with a ribbon on it! **strums it**
Soon all the Hams are making instruments out of wood and other items. They all are having a good time but, what are Caiti and Stan up to?
**They walk out onto a balcony overlooking the water**
Stan: Did you feel that?
Caiti: What?
Stan: I think Panda got the boat started.
Caiti: Oh, **looks at water** looks like it.
Stan: The sky is really pretty tonight.
Caiti: Yeah.
Caiti: **hears racket going on below** Whats going on down there?
Stan: Probably doing something stupid or breaking something.
Caiti: **laughs** I donno about that, but it does sound like something is happening.
Stan: That goes without saying.
Caiti: **Suddenly notices where they are** Hey, isnt this the river we went to when I **blushes** almost drowned.
Stan: **looks around** Seems so doesnt it. **smiles**
**They sit in silence for a while just enjoying each others company**
~ Inside ~
**The clubhouse is kinda a mess but everyone seems to be enjoying themselves**
Howdy: Now Id like to serenade to my lovely lady.
Pashmina: **slightly blushes**
Dexter: **grumbles**
~ Ill always be with You ~ **cheesy song break**
Howdy: Ill always be with you, throughout thick and thin,
Hope Ill never be without you, I love to make you grin,
Dexter: Never will you worry,
Never will you cry,
That can be bad enough.
I always find a friend in you.
