Recap:
Last chapter, Hamtaro and Bijou got thrown out of the truck. After 2 days of travelling home they encounter their friend Jingle, who suggests to journey on water than land because it’s faster… after an odd morning they arrive at the docks. Let’s see what happens next…
Hamtaro: “So Jingle told us to journey through water. So we should build a raft and an oar to get home!”
Bijou: “Excellent! Then we shall build a raft!”  
While Hamtaro went to find building tools, Bijou picked up sticks around and leaves to wrap the sticks together. Suddenly they heard thunder from above!
Hamtaro: “Heke? Um, Bijou… I think we should finish tomorrow…”
Bijou: “I agree! But where can we sleep?”
Hamtaro: “Hmm…”
Hamtaro then sees a pile of leaves and sticks. So they both decided to build a cover. Hamtaro would build the cover and bijou went to find wood and food. After they both finished, they sat together by the fire eating roasted nuts. Suddenly a clash of thunder and flashes scared bijou stiff.
*Bijou hugs Hamtaro* “Bijou: Hamtaro I’m scared of the lights and sounds!” *starts crying*
*Hamtaro comforts her* Hamtaro: “Don’t worry, maybe we should just sleep.”
*Bijou stares at him admirably* Then they both went to sleep…
In the morning…
After a night like that, they wake up to find birds chirping.
Bijou: “Wow, it is beautiful no?”
Hamtaro: “Yes, it is beautiful!”
Hamtaro: “Well, no time to rest! Come on Bijou, I’ll finish the raft and you find some nuts, berries and anything else that we can eat!”
Bijou: “Ok!”  
After they both finished their work, they finally set out on together to find their home. It wasn’t easy. On the first moment they sailed, both Hamtaro and Bijou immediately felt seasick. This was not common. Their friend Boss once said he was an expert on boats, but the moment the ship sailed he felt sick. But after one night they both felt better and Hamtaro started to row home.
Bijou: “This boat trip is taking a long time!”
Hamtaro: “Well, Jingle didn’t tell us how long it will take…”
Suddenly they heard thunder, again.
Hamtaro: “You did make an umbrella, right?”
Bijou: “Uh, yes!”
Bijou pulled out a hand-made umbrella and strapped it to the raft.
Bijou: “There!”
Then, from out of nowhere, rain started to fall. Thunder had rumbled, lightning was clashing waves were hurling and wind was howling.
Bijou: “Oh, this is not good!”
Hamtaro: “Uh oh!”
From a distance, Hamtaro could see giant wave forming and chasing them. The wing suddenly increased blowing the umbrella off flying in the air as both hamsters got wet. While Bijou was complaining about being wet, Hamtaro paddled as fast as he could but he soon grew tired and couldn’t row anymore.
*Hamtaro gasping for air* Things were getting even more troubling. The rain fell heavier, the waves were gigantic (from a hamster’s perspective), and the wind was so strong it was hard to even sit, lightning was clashing hard and thunder was rumbling loudly. Then they started hearing cracks below them. They saw that the raft was breaking apart! “Help!” Hamtaro turned his head and saw bijou hanging on the edge of the boat! She was slipping into the water! Hamtaro almost caught her but a wave washed her down the sea! He watched in terror as Bijou was stretching her paw out for Hamtaro to grab it. She soon disappeared through the rough water.
Hamtaro thought to himself: “What are you doing?! You’re letting your best friend go down in the water!” Flashback: Jingle: That’s the way love works!
Hamtaro: Heke? The way love works?
Jingle: “Yep, the way love works” *starts to change*. Jingle: You need each other to survive!
*Changes again* Bijou: Hamtaro I’m scared what if we never see the ham-hams or our owners again?
Hamtaro: Don’t worry Bijou, as long as we stick together! Together! Together… Togeth… To…. 
*Flashback over* Hamtaro yells: That’s right Bijou, Together Forever!
Then Hamtaro dives into the sea unaware of what he was doing. As he dove deeper he saw a familiar shadow. He got closer to the shadow as it looked even more familiar each second. Then he saw who it was. It was Bijou! Hamtaro noticed that she was not moving. Hamtaro grabbed her paw and swam to the top. When he got to the top he noticed that the raft was cracked in half and the oar was missing! Nonetheless Hamtaro lifted her onto the raft and he got on to. Hamtaro feared she may not be okay but Hamtaro needed to make sure Bijou was okay. So Hamtaro sealed his mouth unto Bijou’s to make sure she was breathing. Then all of a sudden Bijou wakes up and notices Hamtaro doing something. She’s suddenly really surprised at him. Hamtaro, still lips sealed, suddenly alarmed that Bijou has awaken he stops whatever he was doing with a rather embarrassed look.
Bijou: “Did you just kiss me?”
*Hamtaro blushing extremely hard* Hamtaro: “No…?”I… I…
Bijou thinks: “He likes me! He’s blushing!” 
Hamtaro: “The most important thing is are you ok?”
Bijou: “I am now!” *Smiles*
*Hamtaro embarrassed face and blushing harder*
Bijou: “Thanks for saving me!”
Hamtaro: “You’re welcome” (I can swear, his entire face is pink).
Bijou thinks: “Hamtaro is so heroic and cute!”
As the two started to travel again the clouds had disappeared, the water was calm, the breeze was light and the sun was shining bright and warm. When they both reached shore (and no, they aren’t home yet…) Hamtaro set camp and unpacked food while Bijou fixed the raft and cooked. While the two sat beside the fire drying off Bijou stared at him admirably and sat a little closer to him. Bijou had a question that she wanted Hamtaro to agree to.
Bijou thinks: “I really like Hamtaro; I need to ask him if he likes me. No Bijou! What if he says no?! But he kissed me today what couldn’t prove it?! I have to ask! No! What if he did it for a different purpose?! No I can’t believe that!”
Hamtaro thinks: “Hmm… is something wrong with Bijou? She looks depressed…”
Hamtaro: “Um, Bijou? Is something wrong?”
Bijou: “No! Nothing wrong!” *Blushes*
Bijou thinks: “What are you saying?! Just ask him! No! I’m to shy…”
Hamtaro: “I’m going to sleep Bijou, Good night!”
Bijou thinks: “Great you ruined your chance!”
Bijou: “Good idea Hamtaro! Let’s sleep!”
The whole night Bijou dreamed of living with Hamtaro happily ever after.
When morning finally came….
Both Hamtaro and Bijou felt strange when they woke up. Hamtaro couldn’t tell if he kissed her on purpose or not and Bijou can’t decide to tell him she likes her or not. But it didn’t matter; they had to prepare for the next raft ride. Bijou made 3 meals, and Hamtaro prepared the raft. After they finished their work, they set sail again. This time, the weather was perfect and clear.
Bijou thinks: “Good! The weather is great so it’s perfect for a picnic! I’ll tell Hamtaro how I feel then!”
Hamtaro: “Bijou, are you ok? Yesterday you seemed a little sad and now you feel so happy”
Bijou: I’m fine! Are you hungry Hamtaro?
Hamtaro: If you want to eat lunch early then I guess I’m hungry…
Bijou unpacks the lunch and they both start to eat.
Bijou: Hamtaro, I have a question
Hamtaro: Yes Bijou?
Bijou: Um, do you uh… do… you… um…
Hamtaro: No time! Bijou look!
Bijou turned her head and saw large rocks coming at them!
 Bijou: Uh oh!
Hamtaro: Oh no! We’re going to hit the rocks!
 Then Hamtaro looked in the sky. He saw a familiar looking bird that circled them. Then he saw a familiar Hamster! It was their friend Sabu!
Note: If you don’t know who Sabu is then read this! Sabu is a seller who goes around the world selling people things (although he gives free seeds to the ham-hams). He has a crush on a bird named Francquios (Sorry if I spelled it wrong) and even sometimes save the ham-hams! Second note: Do you see that “Hamtaro and Bijou Trilogy” thing at the top? Well, the reason I put that is because when I meant this was an H+B story, I meant it. The thing is that this whole trilogy is based off of several stories, so you won’t see the whole love thing going on here just yet. Once you read the next few stories you’ll see a series of love unfold…. But for now….
