.:|Chapter 1 - War zone|:. 

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "WHAT!?" {he shouts} "There is absolutely NO way I’m going back to that crap hole!"

.:|Andre|:. - "C'mon Beast, why not? They need you, we need you, I NEED YOU!! Its very important!"

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - {Grimly looks at Andre} "Have you forgotten what happened during the war? My God, do I need to reminisce about that dreadful day?

{Flashes back to the Hamster War for Sunflower Isle. Screen is aimed at Beasty, who is sitting with Andre, Bull, and Jeff on a helicopter. The copter is taking them to the island.}

.:|Pilot|:. - "We will be arriving at the drop-off in 5. Everyone get ready."

.:|Andre|:. - "'Ey Beast, you ready to kick some terrorist butt?"

.:|Beasty|:. - "Not... really......."

.:|Bull|:. - {Is a white and black hamster, who seems ticked off all the time. He’s holding an SS-16 [Sunflower Seed 16, a modified version of the M-16.]}. "Sh'up already! If I die today, I don’t want to die with a bunch of retards talking their mouths off..."

.:|Jeff|:. - {Is full tan hamster, which most of the time is shy and silent.}

.:|Andre|:. - "So Jeff, you've been silent most of the time, why not talk a bit.

.:|Jeff|:. - "Well... I did want to say......." {Cut off by Bull}

.:|Bull|:. - "SHUT UP!!!"

{Jeff turns his head and quiets down, upset and frightened.}

.:|Andre|:. - "Now why'd you go and do that, he’s scared stiff now!"

.:|Beasty|:. - "Guys can we not fight, please?"

.:|Bull|:. - "I SAID SHUT THE HELL UP!!!"

{A loud explosion is heard from outside, and the helicopter begins to spin wildly...}

.:|Pilot|:. - "Mayday! Mayday! Chopper 41 down, I repeat, 41 down! Send help! Send HEEEELLP!!!"

.:|Beasty|:. - "Wah!? WAH!! WHATS GOING ON!?"

{Crash! The helicopter crashes into the shores of the island. Blood and debris are found everywhere. Beasty gets up slowly after the crash}

.:|Beasty|:. - "Oh... uhhg.... pbth! EHH! Crap in my mouth.... PBBTTTHH!!!!" {He focuses his eyes and notices that everyone is dead...} "W... wha.... WHAT!? NO.... NOOOO......NOOOOOO!"

{He runs over to Andre's lifeless body, and picks him up.}

.:|Beasty|:. - "Andre!! NOO!! Why..... WHY ME, GOD!?" {Beasty then picks up Bull's SS-16 and loads it.} "This is now personal... I will kill every hamster on this ISLAND!!" {He runs out of the helicopter...}

{Flashback - Over}

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "I thought I lost you that day... I'll never forget it." {He then falls to the ground, sobbing.}

.:|Andre|:. - {Walks over and comforts Beasty} "Ohh Beasty... Its alright... Ill let you think this over first."

.:|Chapter 1 - END|:.

----------------------------

.:|Chapter 2 - Hamtaro|:.

{Camera faces Hamtaro's cage, which has been extra locked because of his disappearance before. Laura doesn't want him escaping again!}

.:|Hamtaro|:. - {Nocks his head, and body against the cage door, attempting to escape.} "C'mon!  I need to go to the clubhouse! Everyone needs to know about the hamster. Everyone is going to be worried for me, also."

{He backs up once more for an super-hard slam against the cage door. With one last huff, he barges towards the door at full speed, and bashes against the door... unfortunately, all he made was a dent.}

.:|Hamtaro|:. - {In pain...} "AAHHHH!! My head hurts!" {He then notices that the door is slightly bent.} "AH HA! That’s it!" {He stands up and walks to the door, rapping his paws around the two dented bars.} "HAM-HAM POWER!" {...Hamtaro shouts as he tries to open the bars, and with great success!}

{Eventually he gets out, and he tiki's over to the hole behind Laura's bed and escapes.}

.:|Chapter 2 - END|:.

----------------------------

.:|Chapter 3 - Bijou Fights Back

{Scene is at the clubhouse. Bijou, after a long time outside, returns with a big and sharp stick.}

.:|Bijou|:. - "I DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT YOU DID WITH BEAST-HAM!" {She shouts with a stick pointing at Boss.}

.:|Boss|:. - {Giggles} "I took care of him. Short and sweet."

.:|Bijou|:. - {Gets closer to Boss with the stick} "I repeat, WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!?" {...She says as she begins to cry.}

.:|Everyone|:. - {Stares blankly at Boss, wide eyed.}

.:|Boss|:. - "Do you really want the truth? Ok... I KILLED HIM!! Happy?" {Boss turns around and ignores and offers a cold shoulder to Bijou.}

.:|Everyone|:. - {Turns their attention towards Bijou, who is dumbfounded by Boss's reply.}

.:|Bijou|:. - {Sobs} "You.........killed.....................him.......? YOU KILLED BEAST-HAM!?" {She says as she falls to the ground, tears flowing down her now soaking white cheeks. She becomes furious, and picks up the stick and rams it hard into Boss's back. It pierces the skin, nothing more.}

.:|Boss|:. - {Now slightly bleeding says...} "Heh heh heh... that’s how you treat me after dealing with our problem?" {He takes hold of the stick and shakes Bijou of the end, only to smack her in the face with it.}

.:|Everyone|:. - {Gasps. They all knew that Boss loved her, which left them appalled by what he did. Something was wrong with Boss, they could tell, because no way in one thousand years would Boss EVER hurt Bijou.}

.:|Bijou|:. - {Slightly brused and dumbfounded by Boss's reaction lays flat on the ground, crying.}

.:|Boss|:. - {Laughs evily} "Did you think I'd be soft towards someone who LOVES my enemy? NEVER! I wouldn't care if you died today, not in a thousand years."

.:|Bijou|:. - {Heart stops in fear.} [He.... knew we...... loved eachother? ..... ..... But ..... ..... how?] {She passes out from shock}

.:|Panda|:. - {Rushes over to help Bijou up. He then stares at Boss, teary eyed.} "Boss...... how could you?"

.:|Everyone|:. - {Looks at Boss aggressively.}

.:|Boss|:. - {Without looking back, walks towards his room.} "Blame that Beast of a hamster." {...He shouts as he walks into his room and slams the door.}

.:|Chapter 3 - END|:.

--------------------------

.:|Chapter 4 - Lovely Reminisce|:.

{Beast-Ham and Andre are walking in the direction of the clubhouse slowly... remembering and chatting about their past.}

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "It's been forever, hasn't it."

.:|Andre|:. - "Just a couple of years..."

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "I remember when you enlisted yourself in the army... my God I was worried."

.:|Andre|:. - {Laughs} "Yea...  you know... none of this would have happened if I changed my mind that day."

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "Yea... but I think I'm glad you did. I would have never have gotten this power."

.:|Andre|:. - {Hekes} "What power?"

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - {Blanks out for a second...} "OH MY GOD! I FORGOT TO TELL YOU!!" {He goes on to explain the whole story of how he’s now called the Beast Hamster.}

.:|Andre|:. - "No way! We are working on technology that deals with that stuff back at the HQ."

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - {Laughs hard} "That’s odd!" {Settles both him and Andre down} "I also forgot to mention that I wouldn't have met the love of my life if you hadn't of enlisted."

.:|Andre|:. - {Stares at Beast-Ham with a retarded look.} "Beasty's got a girlfriend!? This I gotta hear! Tell me who!!"

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - {Blushes} "You probably wouldn't know her..."

.:|Andre|:. - "Tell me anyway."

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "Her name is Bijou, she’s a snow white hamster that wears blue ribbons in her hair. She’s got the most prettiest look I've ever seen!"

.:|Andre|:. - {Mouth open, says...} "Dude... I know her more then you think..."

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - {Looks hard at Andre} "NO WAY! TELL ME EVERYTHING!!"

{Andre goes on to explain his past with Bijou.}

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "Wow... all those days with her... {Giggles and blushes} ... and you didn't.... well....."

.:|Andre|:. - {Hekes} "What? What didn't I do?"

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - {Blushes hard and looks to his feet.} "Well...... um..... uh...... {sweats} ... ... ... never mind… you wouldn’t care anyway.”

{Andre's heart shatters. Anger grew within him knowing his friend was with his childhood love!}

.:|Andre|:. - "That’s..... uh...... a pretty big surprise to me......" {Sweats, wanting to end the conversation.} "Lets.... um...... continue going, shall we?"

.:|Chapter 4 - END|:.

--------------------------

.:|Chapter 5 - Stan Gets Physical|:.

{Camera appears to be showing Stan approaching the clubhouse.}

.:|Stan|:. - [Ok Stan, lets run the plan over one last time... 1: Lure Dexter and Howdy into the woods, 2: Bash them in the back of the heads with a plank, and 3: Win Pashmina's heart. Yea... seems good to me! Alright, lets do this...]

{Stan walks into the clubhouse, unaware of what just went on. Noticing Bijou injured on the ground, he forgets his plan and rushes over to help her.}

.:|Stan|:. - "WA... What the heck happened here!?" {He looks at Bijou's wounds.)

.:|Panda|:. - "Boss hit her with a stick. Apparently it was because of something that Beast Hamster did."

.:|Stan|:. - "Beast hamster? You guys mean, like, that one hamster that was here?"

.:|Everyone|:. {Nods}

{Panda explains the story and how everything went down.}

.:|Stan|:. - "Alright... theres 2 things I can't stand... one is Sandy... two is guys treating girls like toys. Its time I gave Boss a lesson!"

.:|Pashmina|:. - {Glares lovingly at Stan} [Go, Stan! If anyone can do this, its you!]

.:|Dex and Howdy|:. - {Notice that Pashmina is staring at Stan} [SHE LIKES ... ... HIM!?]

{Stan busts open Boss's bedroom door. Boss is sitting on the edge of his bed with a picture of Bijou in his paws. Tears soak the cover of the picture.}

.:|Stan|:. - "Who do you think you are you jerk! Treating Bijou like a rag doll. I have half a mind to..." {Before he finishes...}

.:|Boss|:. - {Chucks the frame of the picture he was holding at Stan, which gashes across his face.}

.:|Stan|:. - {Puts his paw on his nose, and finds out its bleeding.} "Alright... if that’s how you want it..." {He angrily throws a punch at Boss's head, which lands and rams him into the wall.}

{The two collide in an aggressive battle. Stan plowing Boss into walls, and Boss giving blows to the head and stomach. Tired... Stan eventually falls to the ground, unconscious.}

.:|Boss|:. - "You guys just don’t get it, do you... when you lose the love of your life... what’s the point of living...?!" {He returns to the bed and begins to cry.}

.:|Chapter 5 - END|:.

--------------------------

.:|Chapter 6 - Heading Back|:.

{Camera is back to Andre and Beast-Ham with their heads up, thinking to themselves as they head to the clubhouse.}

.:|Andre|:. - [Wow... unbelievable... never would have thought that one of my friends would take my love. Maybe somehow she will break off of him and choose me! Yea... that’s it! Next time she sees me, she will fall back to me, and Bijou will be mine.]

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - {Glances over at Andre} [Hmm... wonder what he’s thinking about. Gotta be something about Bijou.] {Looks down at feat} [I probably would be doing the same. Hey, I wonder if there is a way to get Bijou to fall back in love with Andre? I mean, there are millions of other hamsters around, I don’t REALLY need this one........ even though I kind of love her to death.....] {Sighs} [I don’t know... maybe when we get to the clubhouse, she will see him and decide who she really likes... yea! That way I wont have to do anything! That’s my plan, go to the clubhouse, deal with Boss, and see how Bijou reacts towards Andre.]

{The two continue on to the clubhouse... but before arrival, they meet another hamster.}

.:|Hamtaro|:. - {Huff.... Puff....} "He... Hey guys! Wha... What’s up?" {Remembers who Beast-Ham really is.} "OH! OH MY GOSH! {Runs over to Beast-Ham, shaking his hand.}  Hey Mr. Beast Hamster! Thanks for saving my life and all."

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - {Sweats} "Uhh...... your welcome?"

.:|Andre|:. - "Hey Beast, whos this?"

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "His names Hamtaro, he’s from the clubhouse."

.:|Andre|:. - {Gives an evil glare at Hamtaro} "Oh... so he’s one of them, eh?" {Prepares to attack Hamtaro.}

.:|Hamtaro|:. - {Confused, screams...}"AHHH!! DONT HURT ME!!"

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - {Rushes over to Hamtaro and covers him.} "ANDRE! He’s not with Boss. I don’t even think he knows what he did!"

.:|Andre|:. - "Oh..." {Sweats and neutralizes his attack stance.} "Sorry 'bout that."

.:|Hamtaro|:. - "Phew! Its alright. Now... what did Boss do?"

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "He tried to drown me in the park pond."

.:|Hamtaro|:. - {Gasps} "WHAT?! Why would he do that?"

.:|Andre|:. - "He’s jealous of him and Bijou."

.:|Hamtaro|:. - "You mean... that’s why... Bijou didn’t come out for awhile...... ?”

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "Yea... comes to fit together when you think about it." {Laughs embarrassed.}

.:|Hamtaro|:. - "Well, its a no wonder Boss got angry. He loves her with all his heart. He told me and Oxnard the first day we met him."

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "Anyway, we are going to go back to explain everything to the clubhouse." {Pauses.} "And... Andre?"

.:|Andre|:. - "Yea?"

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "Depending on what happens... I think I'll know my answer."

.:|Andre|:. - "Understood!"

{The three travel a little ways before finally reaching the clubhouse...}

.:|Chapter 6 - END|:.

.:|Chapter 7 - Disbelief and the Choice|:.

{Beast-Ham, Andre, and Hamtaro come waltzing in on the commotion with Boss. No one believes their eyes.}

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "Hey everyone."

.:|Cappy|:. - "OH MY GOSH! ITS THE BEAST HAMSTER’S GHOST! EVERYONE HIDE!!!"

{Everyone hides.}

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - {Sweats} "GUYS! There’s nothing to be afraid of. I’m alive and a friend!"

.:|Hamtaro|:. - "Yea, its true! He saved my life from a cat."

.:|Maxwell|:. - "I DONT CARE! Just leave us, you beast! You caused Boss to hurt Bijou and Stan!"

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "WHAT!? WHAT DID HE DO WITH BIJOU!?" {Spots Bijou hurt and bruised in corner with Panda taking care of her.} "OH MY GOD!" {Rushes over to her and picks her up into his lap.} "Bijou....... I'm sorry..... so, so sorry....." {Kisses her on check}

{Bijou wakes as he kisses her}

.:|Bijou|:. - "Oh... Beast-Ham.... your alive! ... ... I'm glad your O.K."

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "No... don’t say that. I deserve to die for letting that jerk hurt you. I never should have come to this place."

.:|Bijou|:. - "No, I'm glad you came."

.:|Beast-Ham|:. -  {Heart begins to pump fast.} "Anyway... while you’re awake, I've got someone... very special for you to meet! Andre, come over."

.:|Bijou|:. - {In disbelief of the name just mentioned says...} "Who... did you just say?"

.:|Andre|:. - [Here we go... time to see if she still loves me.] {Walks over to Bijou.} "Hey Bijou! Remember me?"

.:|Bijou|:. - {Shocked at who she’s talking to says...} "ANDRE!?" {Sits up.} "How are you! It’s been awhile sense I moved. I sure have missed you!"

{They both give each other a kiss.}

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - {'s heart breaks.} [Well... now we know who she loves... I guess I know what my choice is.]

{Andre and Bijou stop kissing.} 

.:|Andre|:. - "So, it seems you still have feelings for me."

.:|Bijou|:. - "Oui, but my heart belongs to my Beast-Ham here!"

{Both Andre and Beast-Ham glance at Bijou with disbelief.}

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "Are... you sure? I mean... you did love him BEFORE me."

.:|Bijou|:. - "Oui! Your the only one for me, Beast-Ham."

{They both kiss lovingly.}

.:|Andre|:. - {Anger growing even more says...} "Uhh... umm.. hey Beasty, you said you would know the answer to my question when we got here. Do you know it yet...?"

{Beast-Ham and Bijou stop.}

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "Well..." {Looks around the room. Everyone seems scared of him. Then he looks at Bijou, who’s giving him a glance of sadness.} "I... I..."

{Boss comes out of his room, stopping Beast-Ham to continue. He sees Beast-Ham and stares at him with shock.}

.:|Boss and Beast-Ham|:. - "YOU!"

{The two go nose to nose, yelling at each other.}

.:|Boss|:. - "I thought I took care of you!"

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "You would have, if my pal Andre hadn't of been there."

.:|Andre|:. - {Walks over} "Is this that one hamster, Beasty?"

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - {Smiles evilly} "Yup!"

{Andre bashes Boss's face in with his paw, knocking him across the room.}

.:|Everyone|:. - {Gasps}

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - "Thank you, Andre! By the way, I know my answer now."

.:|Andre|:. - "No problem, and what is it?"

.:|Beast-Ham|:. - {Gives one last glance at Bijou.} "I... I... want to rejoin the HHHT."

.:|Bijou|:. - "WHAT!?"
