A story written by : Beast-Ham

	Have you ever felt . . . not wanted? Did you ever think that no one cared who you we're because of what you do? Well, thats how I feel. Beasty awoke from an akward position on his bed. He blinked a couple of times to regain his vision. Uhg... Sunday again... he thought. With a grunt, Beasty pushed himself off the bed, and onto the floor. Putting on sunglasses and a grin, he walked downstairs to his kitchen. The kitchen smelled of sunflower toast and lovely flowers. To Beasty's left, another room, known as the living room. The room contained a fireplace, and meny scattered chairs. In the middle of the room was a large sofa and TV. In the kitchen, Lola - Beasty's mother - was cooking eggs. "Morning hun!" She said happily. "How did you sleep?".
	"Terribly! I couldn't sleep a wink." Beasty replied. 
"Oh... don't worry, I made a lovely pot of Sunflower Coffee if you want some." 
"Thanks, but no thanks, I gotta get to church."
"Alrighty hun, you sure you don't want some breakfast first?"
Already half-way out the door, Beasty left his message unanswerd. "Heh... teens, what are you going to do..." Lola giggles"
	Beasty ran to the left of his tree home and went behind a bush. The next moment, he jumped over the bush on a skateboard made of bark and four buttens laced into the bottom of the board. Beasty was a gray furred hamster, with dark gray tiger stripes on his head, ears, and legs. He also had yellowish-orange hair, as well. Slideing down into the street, Beasty continued on his way to his church. Where he lived was so peaceful that fights were rare. His tree house was located near the entrance of the woods, directly behind the park. Meddows in every direction, and trees as tall as a building covered the city. Beasty was on the sidewalk near the park, skateing towards town. Along the way he pulled off a few tricks, just for fun. Within minutes, he reached the First Baptist Hamster Church.
	He came to a halting stop at the front of the church. He quickly darted next to the building and layed down his skateboard so it was tilted on the wall. He then walked into the church doors, only to be greeted by the Pastor. "Morning, Beasty!" Pastor Clutch greeted.
"Lovely morning indeed!" Beasty replied.
"I'ts great to see that you're here."
*Giggle* "When am I not here?" Beasty laughed a little bit more whilst shaking Clutch's hand, and then walked forward. The church was big, and painted tan. Across the floor was a red carpet, spread across the whole room. In the middle was two separate isles of chairs, and in between them was a dark red carpet which leaded to the alter. Beasty walked down the isle, greeting friendly families on the way. He always sat up front with one of his friends. As he got closer to his favorate spot, he spotted his friend - Michelle. She was a brightly white furred hamster, with a patch of yellowish hair on the top of her head. It flowed like a waterfall down her back. On her rear was a yellow bolt in her fur.
	"Hiya there!" She said, happy to see Beasty. "Hey! Great to see you made it." Beasty said as he gave his friend a hug.
"How've you been?" Beasty asked.
"Its been all good, ya know? Like, the same as ever"
"Gah, same as me... I sware if I see another 'sign up now' ad for the army on TV anymore, I'm going to puke.
"Ha ha, that reminded me. Did'ja know your friend signed up to be in the army?"
With a great horrific shreek, Beasty yelled, "WHAT!?"
