//------------------------------// // Season 2: Episode 4 - Hanging with the Hamsters // Story: Hamtaro x MLP:FiM - Little Hamsters, Pony Adventures // by RobtheMorpherPony //------------------------------// It was the day after the sisterhooves social, and the CMC were at their clubhouse. Sparkle was present as per usual. "Oof, kind of a slow day today. Since we aren't really coming up with any new ideas for talents." Sparkle said. "It's tough making these up on the spot." "I'll say." Scootaloo said. "Hey, I just thought of something we could do." Sweetie Belle said. "Oh please don't tell me your suggesting going to the ham hams. Again." Scootaloo said. "What other option do we have right now?" Apple Bloom asked. "I DON'T want to deal with the ham hams. I'm not that desperate." Scootaloo said. "Geez, your starting to sound like me." Sparkle said. "What's that supposed to mean?" Scootaloo asked. "I didn't really like hanging out with them much before, but...now they are all I've got left of home. So, I am more then willing to hang out with them if there's not much going on." Sparkle said. "And besides, you'd be surprised what kind of whacky adventures the ham hams get up to. One time, we took a makeshift raft out onto the ocean." "Seriously? Okay, NOW I'm intrigued. Perhaps shadowing the Ham Hams will give us cutie mark ideas." Scootaloo said. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were shadowing the ham hams as they were doing some discussing. "Nightmare Night was so much like Halloween that it wasn't funny." Hamtaro said. "True, but Princess Luna showing up to scare the ponies was a nice change." Bijou said. "Still, you think we should do something for Princess Luna? Make her feel more welcome in the new world?" Hamtaro asked. "That's Hamtaro for you: Always thinking of others." Oxnard said. "It's actually a really great idea when you think about it." Howdy said. "Isn't that always the case? This is Hamtaro we're talking about." Boss said. "Let's do it then." Hamtaro said. "Make a gift for Princess Luna? Not the wost idea I've heard about. Doesn't sound like it could lead to a cutie mark though." Scootaloo said. "Would be kind of specific anyways." Sweetie Belle said. "Still, we could help." Apple Bloom said. "Better then nothing at all, right?" She asked. "True. Even if it's not a cutie mark thing, making something for Princess Luna sounds like it'd at least be something to do today." Scootaloo said. The Cutie Mark Crusaders ended up helping the ham hams make something for Princess Luna which the night princess did like. "You did really well with this. I'm glad. I...haven't really ever been given been given a gift before." Princess Luna said. "Really? Not even a thousand years ago?" Scootaloo asked. "Because honestly, I find that hard to believe." "Believe it, dear Scootaloo. It's part of why I ended up becoming Nightmare Moon." Princess Luna said. "Now that's just not fair." Apple Bloom said. "Yeah. I don't care that you are a princess; you deserved some gifts in your life." Sweetie Belle said. "That's nice of you to think of that, little ones." Princess Luna said. "Perhaps you should try finding out some way to connect with the ponies in a way that your sister can't. That way they appreciate you more." Sparkle said. "Not a bad idea, I think I'll do that." Princess Luna said.
