Laura has been getting ready since she came home from school.
Where could she be going looking so fashionable?~nanoda
Hamtaro, what do you think? Does this outfit fit me?
Yes, it totally fits you!~noda
I'm going on a date!
Well then, I'll be going!
Have a nice trip!~nanoda
I'll be going to Bijou's house to play too.
Heke!
I'm going on a date!
A date... A date... A date...
D-Date?
Paradise Hamsubs presents...
Laura's exciting date!
See you, Brandy!
Problems!~nanoda
Brandy, Brandy, Laura is...!
Good morning, Hamtaro.
Yo, Hamtaro! We've come to play!
There's no time for that, Boss, Oxnard! Laura is... Laura is...~nanoda
A date, you say?
What should I do?~noda
I can't help but be worried! Anyway, it's a big problem!~nanoda
Calm down, Hamtaro!
Is a date even a bad thing?
I can't actually help. I've never been on one before.
If it's about dates, leave it to me!
Oxnard?
That's right! Oxnard and Pepper went out on a date!
That's right!
You see? A date is something... really awesome!
When your body gets all warm and you feel like you're in love!
Oh Pepper, I can't wait to see you again!
The world is just for us.~
Ah... Pepper...
I love you from the bottom of my heart!
He got really carried away.
In the end, I didn't understand a thing.~noda
Anyway, who is the one dating Laura?
It must be Travis, obviously!
Nah, it might be Roberto.
I'm worried about that.~noda
Anyway, I'm going to check!~noda
Okay, I'm following you!
Wait, please! I'm going too!
Heke? Where did Laura go?~noda
I'm sure she went this way.
How strange.
Hamtaro!
If it's about Laura, she went that way!
She was in a really good mood. Did something happen?
That is...
I'll explain later!~nanoda
Let's go!~noda
I see, that's indeed a date.
Sis? What's a date?
Hmm... that is...
Would you like me to tell you, Lazuli?
On a Sweet Paradise sweet night...
Oxnard, cut it out already.
If it's a date, she shouldn't be so fashionable, Hamtaro.
Why, Stan?~nanoda
Because if there's someone you like, you go on a walk together, play together
and tell each other your love!
A date is something unique for each boy and girl.
Ha! You seem to know a lot, Stan, for never even having a date.
E-Even so, I know!
But what I'm sure is that you're a really wonderful brother, Stan!
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know!
Why?
Because even though Sandy and Maxwell are dating, you protect their love!
Now that you mention it, those two... I haven't seen them today.
C-Could it be...
Wait! You're one hundred years quicker, Sis!
Heke? Stan...
He went off.
You don't need to worry about that.
But why are you all so worried?
If my Kana had a date, I would be so happy!
Because I want Kana to feel the same happiness that I do!
That's so enjoyable! I'm surprised!
No... don't say that.
Wait a second, earlier when I went to Oxnard's place...
Kana went off wearing something really fashionable too.
Kana has a date too?
T-That's wrong! It can't be that my Kana...
Didn't you say a date for her would make you happy, Oxnard?
Eh... No...
Everyone, I'm sorry!
I'm getting more and more worried!~noda
Laura, where are you going?~noda
What's wrong?
I was walking with Crepe and he went off!
Crepe is a dog, right?
It must have broken.
I understand!
I'll help you search for him, so don't cry!
Crepe!
It's okay! We'll find him for sure, okay?
Crepe!
Laura's so gentle!~noda
Doesn't this set you at ease?
Let's search too!
Good idea!~noda
These look like the footprints we're looking for.
Okay!
This way!
Heke! We found him!~noda
You're Crepe, right?
What are you doing? Come out!
We've been searching for you!~noda
Come out, Crepe.
You were scared to be alone, right?
But it's all right now!
Come on!
Crepe!
Goodbye!
Crepe!
Crepe...
I'm glad you found him.
From now on, be careful, okay?
Right, thanks, Big Sis!
See you.
Bye-bye!
Oh no, I have to hurry!
Hamtaro is late.~dechuwa
Could it be that he has forgotten about today's promise?
No way! No matter what, I'll believe in Hamtaro!~dechuwa
Come on, no way!
No way what? Baseball or the shop, which is more important?
Stop thinking only of yourself.
Come on! You have to sell all of this today, Zack!
An ogre! Mom, you're an ogre! Someone, help me!
What's wrong, Zack?
Laura!
How troublesome.
Howdy!
Everyone!
You see, today Goldie has to sell all those sandwich boxes.
Curtis was supposed to help, but he can't, so there's a lot of trouble.
At this rate he won't be able to leave!
So, unless all those sandwiches are sold, Zack can't go to his baseball match?
I feel sorry for Zack~nanoda.
I beg of you! Laura, please help us!
O-Okay...
Thank you! I knew I could count on you!
You're really a life-saver, Laura!
It totally fits you, Laura!
Ozu! Here's our secret weapon, the beautiful girl!
Are you excited?
Are you?
Would you like some sandwiches?
Laura...
She got involved in another personal problem again.
She's too good for her own...
That's very cold of you, Dexter!
What did you say?
Hey you, stop it!
I wonder if we can help?
I need to think of something we can do.~noda
I wonder if I'll manage to arrive at the scheduled time?
Sandwiches!
Would you like some sandwiches?
Oh no...
Laura, I'm sorry to get you involved in this.
You can leave already; don't worry.
Sorry, Laura.
I'm fine, so let's do our best a little longer, Zack, Goldie!
Even if you say so...
Oh no.
This is a big problem.
How can we fix Howdy's problem?
Well, we can't really.
We need to cheer up Zack!~noda
Cheer him up?
Tottoko hashiru yo Hamutarou
Trotting, let's run, Hamtaro.
Sumikko hashiru yo Hamutarou
Let's run to the corner, Hamtaro.
I really like sunflower seeds.
Daisuki na no wa himawari no tane
Howdy, cheer up! You can't let Zack down!
Yappari hashiru yo Hamutarou
Indeed, we are running, Hamtaro.
Dexter...
That's right!
Okay!
Tottoko mawaru yo Hamutarou
Trotting, let's turn around, Hamtaro.
Turning while painting, Hamtaro.
Kassha wo mawaru yo Hamutarou
I really like sunflower seeds.
Daisuki na no wa himawari no tane
Mawaru to ureshii Hamutarou
Turn around and be happy, Hamtaro.
Laura's Hamtaro, as well as my Howdy, love sunflower seeds!
And everyone loves my Mom's homemade sandwiches!
She's not only talented in the kitchen, but she's also beautiful!
What are you implying with that, Zack?
Zack and Mom's convenience store!
Come on, get them while they're fresh!
Don't hold back!
Welcome, welcome!
Welcome, and thank you for your purchase!
We did it!
It was a big success!
I'm glad for you, Howdy!
Thank you very much!
Cool, we're clear!
You saved us, Laura!
Well then, see you later, Goldie!
I'm going too!
Thank you! Laura, Zack, get a home run!
Laura has a date?
That was why you were chasing her?
Let's go, Hamtaro!
I'm going too!
Oh no, I'll be late!
Laura looks worried!
She must be late for the date's scheduled time!
Laura, I'm sure you want to meet that person soon!~noda
It must be someone you really like.~nanoda
Maybe even more than me...
My feelings are getting more and more worried.~nanoda
Why at a time like this?
She's really unlucky today.
It's indeed a problem that this happened all of a sudden.
I feel sorry for Laura.
Really...
What should I do?
Laura...
I want Laura to get to her date quickly! I'll do anything for it to happen!~noda
Even if you say so, it is not possible with this rain, Hamtaro.
It's not like we have magic to stop the rain.
Ah! We know a spell! Right, Sis?
That's right!
Heke?
Is there really that kind of magic, Lapis, Lazuli?
It's not magic! We heard from Maki's grandpa long ago.
When he was travelling around the world, whenever he faced a terrible storm
he performed a ritual, and whenever he did, the storm stopped!
Lapis, Lazuli, please show us that ritual!~noda
Sure! Lazuli!
Rainy rain, stop! Cover your ears, cover your rear, rain! Hoi hoi!
I'll do it too!~noda
Okay, we'll help too!
Rainy rain, stop! Cover your ears, cover your rear, rain! Hoi hoi!
Huh?
Look! It looks like the sky cleared!
It's true!
Maki's grandpa is awesome!~noda
Right?
Awesome, we did it! Big success!
Thank goodness!
I have to hurry up!
Could he have gone home already?
There's no one here.
Laura's late, so maybe the one she was meeting got tired and went home?
That's awful! It's not Laura's fault!~noda
Come on, Hamtaro, calm down.
It seems that she found him!
I wonder who is she meeting?~nanoda
It is Travis? Or Roberto? I want to know!
I'm sorry I'm late!
Hey, Laura.
Laura's date was...
Heke? Papa?~noda
Papa? Have you been waiting for me here under the rain?
What would happen if you caught a cold?
Don't worry, don't worry!
It reminded me of my first date with your mom.
Back then I thought she was getting late...
But that's because you got the date time wrong!
Even so, I was so sad that I thought she would not come.
I waited under the rain like an idiot, and when I thought I should give up and go home...
I'm glad you believed in Mama and waited!
Yeah, that was a wonderful date!
Today Mama had work with the flower arrangement class, so she couldn't come, so I came on her behalf!
Then, shall we go on a date, Laura?
Yes!
They look like they're having fun!
A date is something great indeed, eh?
To think that it was Dad... what a surprise.~noda
If someday I date Bijou... What a joke!
Heke! Big problem! I forgot Bijou's promise!~nanoda
A date?
Well, it's obvious! You too are always getting along so well!
What are you talking about, Stan?
We just read books together, right?
Right!
Huh? I-Is that so?
Then it's all right. What a surprise.
Big Bro is weird.
This outfit is wonderful, right?
I prefer those jeans!
I wish Laura could've come too!
Laura had a date with her Dad, so we too should have fun too!
Right!
Kana just wanted to go shopping with Maki.
Bijou, Bijou!
Bijou, I'm sorry!~nanoda
I totally forgot.~nanoda
Let's go play now!~noda
I was a fool for believing in you, Hamtaro.
You were playing with Lapis and the others instead of me, right?
Don't say something like that!
Bijou looks like she's angry.
Hamtaro's in big trouble too.
It looks like Hamtaro's time for a date is still far away.
Today was really fun!
We watched a movie together, and had lunch!
I want to go on a date with Papa again!
I'm really tired from today.~noda
Chasing Laura, apologizing to Bijou...
I'm really exhausted.~nanoda
Are you sleepy, Hamtaro?
Heke?
Kushi-kushi!
Elder Ham wants to find the cherry blossoms!~noda
That's right. He says that he gets sleepy if he can't watch them.
Heke... that's hard!~nanoda
But maybe we can give it a try.~dechuwa
Good idea!~nanoda
Okay, leave it to us, the Ham-Hams!~noda
Next time!
Elder-Ham Views the Cherry Blossoms
See you next time!
Nanoda!
