Greetings From Jamaica
Sandy: So then I said, like, "Bijou you should just tell Hamtaro you like him, that hams not really good at taking a hint you know?" But then she said, 'No way cause she couldnt hurt Boss'. Now Bijou, on the other hand is good at taking a hint, Boss thinks she doesnt know and all, I guess Bijou just assumes its easy to take hints and doesnt get that Hamtaro isnt and- Like Stan? Are you listening or what?
Stan: **snaps out of trance** Hm?
Sandy: Ill take that as a no.
Stan: I was listening.
Sandy: **arches eyebrow** Oh really? What was I talking about?
Stan: **silence**
Sandy: **sighs** Stan, you have been like, a zombie all week! Whats up?
Stan: Nothing! Im fine ok, I can take care of it.
Sandy: **smirks** Stan, there is a big difference between 'Fine' and 'I can take care of it. You don't use them together because, like, fine means fine and I can take care of it means, there is somthing wrong.
Stan: I've got it undercontrol ok!
Sandy: Yo bro! No need to get all like, worked up about it! I just asked a question.
Stan: I just have a lot of things on my mind ok?
Sandy: A lot of things on your mind? What could possibly be on your-**suddenly gets it** You're worked up because Caiti has been in Jamaica all week, arent you!
Stan: ...
Sandy: **in satisfaction** Uh huh I knew it.
Stan: No, thats not it, I'm fine, really.
Sandy: **not convinced** Ooh, Stan and Caiti sitting in a-
Stan: **glares daggers at her** Sandy, I couldnt care less.
As Stan is talking, they walk into the clubhouse. All the Hams are huddled around something and Hamtaro calls to Stan.
Hamtaro: Yo Stan! Sandy! Youll never guess what Boss found in the fields!
Sandy: What?
Hamtaro: He found a note from Caiti!
Stan: Really? **Suspiciously** Boss didnt read it without me did he?
Boss: Not a word. **Really, he had read the note over four times, but Boss can be a very good liar**
Stan: Lemme see that! **Snatches note from table**
Sandy: **teasing** Wow Stan, youre pretty excited for someone who doesnt care.
Stan: Ha ha Very funny sis.
Of coarse he was excited, and he had a good reason to be.
~ Flashback ~
Stan: **knocks on Caitis window** Caiti! Caiti its me!
Caiti: **surprised to see him** Stan! Im so glad to see you!
Stan: Yeah, well, I couldnt let you leave without saying good bye.
**Stan and Caiti start to blush slightly**
Caiti: Well, Caiti just left for to get some last minute supplies. Humans are so silly I mean, you pack all the stuff and then run out and get bottled water. How important could it be? **laughs**
Stan: **laughs**
Caiti: Anyway, we gotta be quick because she left a while ago and should be back any second.
Stan: Well, I hope you have a good time at Jamaica Caiti.
Caiti: Dont look that depressed Stan, please. Youll make me sad
**Gives a really fake sniffle and smiles**
Stan: I just, wish we could stay in contact,
Caiti: Dont worry Stan, I promise Ill write youll never be in the dark!
Stan: Nah, its ok Caiti. I dont need a letter, just come home ok?
Caiti: Will do. **Smiles** Ill miss you Stan. **Door opens** Quick Stan shes back!
Stan: Bye Caiti! **Then he ran outta there**
~ End Flashback ~
But now Stan knew a letter from Caiti was just the thing he needed.
He was also glad to see that she didnt forget about him or her promise and took time to write.
Stan: **reads out loud** Dear Hams,
Caiti: **Caitis voice overlaps his**
Greetings from Jamaica! I cant tell you the amount of fun Ive had here! I met up with my friends yesterday and they were really interested in you guys. Claire was all around the town all the time and guess who was always with her? Me of coarse!
Boss: **interrupting** I didnt know hamsters could write letters
Sandy: Shh! Its a cartoon!
Caiti:
The Valentines party was great! Turns out it was a business party, so because Claire is a Travel Agent they planed a killer vacation spot and party area! I met a lot of new Hams there, but none of them had as interesting lives as you guys (Can you believe they had never been chased by a cat?). To tell you the truth, it got kinda boring after a while because all the talked about were owners business. I dont know a lot about that stuff so I had to use the old smile and nod. Claire considered living here once, she said that it had everything here that she needed, but she decided against it.
We took lots of pictures on the trip! I managed to steal one from the desk and I sent it in the letter. I hope the letter got to you! I just sent it with a ham I met at the dock and he said hed let it go somewhere near the clubhouse.
Im really excited to get home, I should be back early on Monday morning, but because we have to UN-pack and Claire will be home all day! Ill have to see you guys on Tuesday. I am also excited to get back because Im bringing back someone very special. I hope you think so too!
Miss you guys!
Caiti
Stan: **takes out picture of Claire and Caiti sitting by the beach. Claire has brown hair and green eyes. **
Bijou: So zats what her owner looks like!
Sandy: It sounds like shes having a lot of fun doesnt she Stan?
Hamtaro: I wonder who the very special ham shes bringing back is.
Stan: **doesnt answer, seems to be thinking the same thing and is reading the note over**
Sandy: Like, Stan? **pauses**
Sandy: STAN? **pauses** I give up!
Panda: You ok Stan?
Stan: **still doesnt answer**
Boss: Look, Stan, we know you miss her and if you need anything-
Stan: No man, its cool. **Takes deep breath** Im fine, just thinking about some stuff ok? **Walks away and sits on chair**
Oxnard: Man, he misses her a lot.
Hamtaro: Wish we could help.
Door suddenly swings open and there is Pashmina and Penelope
Pashmina: Hey guys! Whats up?
Bijou: Ello Pashmina! Caiti sent us a note!
Pashmina: **eyes widen** Really? Let me see!
Pashmina reads the letter and then she smiles
Pashmina: Aww, thats so cute!
Hamtaro: What do ya mean Pashmina?
Pashmina: Well, it sounds to me that Caiti has a boyfriend!
All: Heke?
Sandy: But she likes Stan!
Pashmina: Well, Im not saying Im right, Im just saying thats what it sounds like.
The Hams re-read the note
Sandy: Well, I donno.
Boss: I guess we will find out on Tuesday.
Sandy: Yeah thats right. **looks at Stan**
Stan: **thinking** Ill just have to wait. No use worrying over it if it isnt going to happen. **Sighs**
Sandy: **snaps her fingers** Stan! Like, earth to Stan!
Stan: **Looks up** Oh, hey sis.
Sandy: Common Stan! Lets do something, I mean, how like, totally boring is it to sit around and do nothing!
Stan: So, what are we going to do.
Sandy: **smiles** We decided to have a Welcome Home party for Caiti. Do you want to help? Just say yes bro, just say-
Stan: No thanks, **a light bulb goes off** but could you get me a piece of paper?
Sandy: **sigh** If it makes you happy bro.
~ After Sandy gets him paper and pencil ~
Sandy: **goes to the group** I just dont understand him!
Boss: He acts like such a tough guy, but I know its just for show.
Maxwell: Yeah. But you cant help feeling bad for him.
Hamtaro: Common guys, Caiti is coming home tomorrow and if we are going to throw this party, **looks at Stan** he gotta stop feeling sorry and start planning.
Bijou: Hamtaros right! Wed better start now!
All: **nod** Ok!
~ Hours Later ~
Stan dozed off and Sandy comes up to him.
Sandy: Pathetic.
Sandy: Yo bro! Wake up we gotta get lost!
Stan: Mm Wha? **He wakes up**
Sandy: Bout time. You slept the day away, like I said, Common we gotta get lost!
Stan: What time is it?
Sandy: Like, time to leave! **drags Stan to the door**
Stan: Alright alright! Im going! **walks through the door**
Sandy: He is so lazy sometimes.
Boss: What do you mean sometimes? **snickers**
Sandy: Well, see ya Boss!
Boss: Whatever
~ The next Day ~
Stan and Sandy are outside the clubhouse. Stan called her out there because he wanted to show her the new song he wrote.
Sandy: Like, Stan! That was so totally awesome!
Stan: Well, duh, its by me.
Sandy: Whatever. You wrote that for Caiti?
Stan: Well, kinda, I donno if Ill ever get the nerve to actually sing it to her
Sandy: You should Stan you really should! Im sure shed love it!
Stan: You think so sis?
Sandy: Absolutely!
Stan: **turns and runs off**
Sandy: Where are you going?
Stan: To sing it to her duh!
Sandy: But you dont know where she lives!
Stan: Yeah I do! I walked her home remember!
Sandy: I forgot. **watches him run** There goes my crazy brother.
Stan: **continues running** I should be there in a minute!
~ At Caitis House ~
Caiti: Claire! Hurry up and get his cage in the house! I cant wait to see him around!
Claire: **puts down heavy suitcase** Ok. Come on it Julie!
Julie: Wow Claire! Nice place you got here!
Julie is a dark haired dark eyed girl, she is carrying a large suitcase and an animal carrier.
Claire: Yeah, its ok, its amazing what one can do with the decorating channel. Now hows about we go down town and see a movie?
Julie: And lunch! You need to catch up, a lot has happened in Jamaica without you!
Claire: **laughs** I bet! Just leave Scooters cage on the table ok?
Julie: Sure thing. I mean, where else would I put it? On the toilet?
Claire: **laughs** Ha ha.
They both laugh and exit the building, Caiti squeezes out of the cage.
Caiti: Scooter? Scooter are you in there? **Pokes head in cage**
Scooter: Whoa! Dont do that!
Caiti: Sorry.
Scooter: Yeah, Im here.
Caiti: **sighs** I got that part. Hold on, lemme get you outta there.
A ham about Caitis age crawls out of the carrier and is facing Caiti. He has the same blue eyes as Caiti, but he is all white except for a black spot on his eye, and on his back.
Scooter: **after he gets out** Man its good to get outta there!
Caiti: Yeah, never fun to be in a cage is it?
Scooter: You act like you know.
Caiti: Hey! I might go around the world all the time and get outta my cage all the time too, but I know what a cage is like!
Scooter: **laughs** Yeah, I guess so.
Stan: **Climbs up onto the window and looks with curiosity at the new ham** Ok, no need to panic. I mean, sure it is a boy but girls can have boys that are just friends right?
Caiti: **doesnt notice Stan** Well you just say so and Ill never get out of my cage again and we will be even.
Scooter: How about now?
Caiti: **glared at him** And let you have run of the house? I dont think so. **giggles**
Stan: **quietly laughed** Shes a firecracker that one.
Suddenly, Scooter did something that Stan hoped hed never see.
Scooter hugged Caiti.
Scooter: Man Ive missed you Caiti.
Caiti: Me to Scooter.
Stan: Fine, a hug, Im still fine, doesnt matter. As long as they dont-
Caiti: **kisses him, on the cheek** I cant wait to introduce you to my friends! Especially Stan, hell get a kick outta this!
Stan felt like he could burst with anger. Sure it was just a kiss on the cheek, but still. He just couldnt take it. Throwing his song on the ground, he stormed out of there and back home.
Stan: I cant believe it! I just cant! How could she do that to me?! And why did she want me to see it so bad, so she could say, **raised his voice** Oh Stan look at my new boyfriend! Isnt he cute! **he spat**
But before he got home, he ran intoSandy.
Sandy: Hey big bro! Howd she like the song? ^_^
Stan: **his voice was gruff** Who.
Sandy: **confused** Um, you know, Caiti. The girl you like?
Stan: **even more angry** I dont like any Caitis.
Sandy: Stan? Whats wrong? She liked the song didnt she?
This was the first time Stan looked at her, and she wished he hadnt.
His eyes were full of anger, sorrow, and jealousy. The signs were there, but Sandy still didnt understand.
Stan: I wouldnt know.
He said that simply, turned around, and hurried home.
Sandy: Ok, now Im completely confused.
~ The Next Day at the Clubhouse ~
Sandy: **looks around** Has anyone seen Stan?
Hamtaro: No Sandy. He hasnt come yet.
Boss: **hurried into the clubhouse and slammed the door**
Oxnard: Boss! Whats the hurry?
Boss: I was picking some berries for the party and, shes coming.
Hamtaro: What? Now?
Boss: Yeah, but she has a boy ham with her.
Pashmina: I told you!
Sandy: Hmm
**They hear a knock on the door**
Boss: Shes here! Dive for cover!
Caiti: Guys? Are you in here? **Opens the door** Hello?
**no answer**
Caiti: Thats strange I thought someone would be-
All: Surprise!
Caiti: Hey guys! **she gives them all a big hug**
Caiti: Its so good to see you all again! **looks around**
Caiti: Wait a minute, wheres Stan?
Sandy: To tell you the truth Caiti, we really dont know.
Caiti: Oh
Pashmina: So tell us Caiti, who is that Ham next to you?
Caiti: Oh him?
Scooter: Oh so now Im a him?
Caiti: Yeah your rating is getting lower and lower every time you open your mouth.
Sandy: Thats funny, she plays with him like I do with Stan
Hamtaro: So who is it?
Caiti: **looks at Sandy** Sandy, remember when I said, We have a lot more in common then it seems?
Sandy: **remembers** Yeah, it was at the campout. You and I were talking. I was trying to calm you down because you were crying
Scooter: Ooh, so my tough lil sister was crying? **Shoves her**
Sandy: Reminds me even more of Stan.
Hamtaro: Did you say sister?
Scooter: Yeah, **sighs** Since my Caiti is getting absolutely no where, Ill introduce myself. Ok, peeps call me Scooter and Caiti is my Twin Sister.
All but Caiti and Scooter: **gasp** Twin sister!
Bijou: Caiti! You never told me you had a twin!
Boss: **gets closer to Scooter** You dont look like her. Hold on- **pushes them next to each other** Oh I see! You guys have the same eyes!
Caiti: **pushes brother** Yeah, thats what everyone says.
Sandy: So thats what you meant!
Caiti: **smiles** Yeah, I kinda wanted to show Stan, I thought he would get a kick out of seeing my twin. Buthes not here.
Sandy: Dont worry Caiti! Im sure he wishes he could be here but just cant.
~ At Stans Cage ~
Stan is sitting in a corner of his cage putting food on one side of the cage, then moving it to the other, then pacing, then moving the food again. While he is doing this, he is thinking.
Stan: I could always go back right now and meet up with her
No! Thats stupid! She has a new guy ham, why do you have to see her.
I might be jumping to conclusions
She shouldnt have brought a boy back with her! And kissed him!
Maybe, maybe she was just caught up in the moment or somtin
You saw what happened! How can you defend her!
**Stan shakes his head**
Noel has been gone all day and Stan is debating with himself like he has been all day.
Stan: Aww man! What should I do? **Slumps onto the ground and puts his head in his paws**
Stan: I just dont understand!
~ At the Clubhouse ~
Caiti is sitting at table thinking and half talking with the girls. All the guy Hams are interviewing Scooter and seeing into the secret life of Caiti.
Sandy: How was the trip Caiti?
Caiti: Hm? Oh, fine I guess.
Bijou: Did you have fun and meet new Hams?
Caiti: Um, yeah. I had a lot of fun and met three new friends.
Pashmina: Did you miss anyone? **She knew the answer**
Caiti: Yeah, I missed you guys a lot, and Stan
Sandy: Did you ever want to be girlfriends with anyone there?
Caiti: **looked hard at them** Thats a weird question.
**They just look at her**
Caiti: Uh, no. I have a boyfriend already, or at least, **she stared at the door** I thought I did.
Caiti: **sigh** Hes not coming is he.
All Girls: **also look at door** No.
~ The Guys ~
Scooter: Yeah, I lived with her most of my life, but then Caitis owner moved here. You see Caitis owner and my owner are friends. Caitis owners old Hamster had twins and she gave me to her best friend.
Boss: Well, youre lucky you got to live with her most of the time. Stan and Sandy were separated pretty early.
Scooter: **He arched an eyebrow** Lucky? **Shrug** Yeah, in some ways. But youve never had to live with her. Sure shes all right in the sister book, but still not like, Woo hoo! I get to live with my sis!
Hamtaro: I get it.
Scooter: So, who is the guy my sis likes so much anyway?
All guys but Hamtaro: **groan**
Scooter: Uh, that would happen to be a good groan would it?
Cappy: Well, lets just say that the best word to describe Stan is-
Boss: Flirt.
Howdy: You betcha.
Panda: Hes also-
Dexter: In love with himself.
Maxwell: Yeah but he is really-
Hamtaro: Athletic.
Scooter: So thats Stan huh?
All: **nods**
Scooter: Well, hey I cant choose my sisters guys for her can I? **laughs**
All: **smile**
Sandy: **looks at Scooter** Wow Caiti, everyone seems to like your twin brother!
Pashmina: Well, at least more then they like Stan.
Caiti: **at mention to his name, Caitis ears droop** Sandy?
Sandy: Hm?
Caiti: If you see Stan, could you tell him that I missed him, and I wish that he could have seen Scooter. You can tell him my secret if you want. I just dont want him to think that I forgot about him.
Sandy: Um, ok. But why cant you tell him tomorrow?
Caiti: Because I promised Scooter Id show him around. **smiles** Could you Sandy?
Sandy: **smiles** Sure Caiti, Im sure hell be happy to hear from you!
Caiti: **hugs her** Thanks Sandy, youre a great friend. I gotta go now guys!
**She looks at Scooter, who is telling how he single handedly captured a cat in a cage without his owner knowing about it. Caiti sighs**
Scooter: Well, I dont mean to brag but-
Caiti: Keep this up bro and I wont be able to fit your head through the door. Bye-Q everybody! **Caiti and Scooter leave**
Hamtaro: Well, Scooters cool.
Sandy: I wonder why Stan didnt come.
Bijou: Maybe he had a cold or zomting.
Sandy: Well, whatever it was, Im going to find out! **Sandy leaves through clubhouse door quickly**
