Hamha! Lol, well... I'm sooooooo SORRY! For not being in in like such a looooong time! I've been so busy with college and the homework has been so difficult, not to mention I get quizzes and tests every now and then so I'm almost always studying- plus! I've had bad case of writer's block as well and well, if you ever had writer's block before then yeah you know how I felt not being able to have ideas or get my hand my moving to write something new!

I will explain later on my profile page, once again I am so sorry! I promise to start working on the other two stories I'm sure many are anxious for next chappies! But! I bring a new story, yes a brand new story~ this time... it's Hamtaro! I love that anime when it aired on tv, oh wow it's been such a long time, I'm not using their original Japanese names since: 1. I've never watched the original Japanese series and 2. I don't know all of the names and 3. I'm quite fond of the English names since it gives me nostalgia.

I present to you my new story called "Stan's Match!"

A little note about the story, no, it's not Pashmina or Bijou or any of the ham-girls in the anime. It's StanXOC (yep, my original character I created). However, there will be many couple within the story as well but the main focus is Stan, it will be a little slow because I want to give the characters time, meaning I want to make Stan feel adjusted to his new feelings towards my character- sure he'll be flirting but it will soon change from playfulness to something very serious.

Very friendly story so I don't think there will be any cussing or anything, but just in case I'll always put a warning if any of my chapters will contain such material- sometimes I'll make a side story to the humans and back to the hamsters, oh yeah the ham-hams aren't human so I'm sorry if I disappoint you there. I wanted to make a cute, cuddly story with hamsters but someday I'll write a new story about them as humans ^-^

Now, on with the story~!

Chapter 1: Enter The Rock Star!

It was a peaceful day in town and on the best day- a beautiful Sunday afternoon where it's common to spend some time with the family and have quality time. For a certain girl and hamster it was the day of re-joining with old friends, speaking of which...

The white and orange hamster has been jumpy and excited, everyone stared at him as he was pacing back and forth as if expecting something wonderful. The whole time he looked at the clock which hung on the wall of the clubhouse and scratched his face a bit with a "kushi-kushi" sound; why was he so impatient? One large hamster stepped forward as he adjusts his hat a bit and tapped on the white/orange hamster, however, the small one was far too interested in looking at the clock which ultimately irks the large hamster who was trying to get his friend's attention.

"Hamtaro!" He shouts as the small hamster fell after being startled like that, he sat up and rubbed his ears as he looked up to the gruff hamster who stared down at him. He tilted his head to the side and gave his famous "heke" sound.

"Ok what's the big deal? You've been looking at the clock since you got here"

Hamtaro rubbed his face as he looked up at him again, blushing a bit feeling slightly embarrassed- he didn't know his impatience was so noticeable. "Oh gosh, I feel blushie. Oopsie Boss, it's just... Today's a very special day!" He waved his paws up in the air while he smiled with joy.

At this point everyone was interested in finding out what's making Hamtaro so jovial, they huddled around him except for two hamsters who were in the corner and away from the rest. At some point you would think they were the same, but the main difference is that one of them has a red ribbon on the tail. They seem to be talking about their own issues, that's right they are twin siblings with the interesting tiger striped markings on their fur- one is a boy and the other (of course) is a girl with the red ribbon she has on her tail.

"What's wrong bro? Why so blue?" The girl tiger striped hamster asked her twin.

"That's the thing... I dunno like I feel blank, I'm so not in the mood today- not even to flirt. I feel sooo pooie" The twin said as he released a long heavy sigh- most likely this is due by, yet, another rejection after flirting with another girl ham he saw walking by. "I can't find the right one, sis... I'm gonna lay low 'till I get my groove back" He sat down and leaned against a comfortable pillow, he wasn't interested with Hamtaro's big news since he wasn't paying any attention.

"Oh my gosh... are you like totally serious?" She placed her paw on his forehead to feel for any unsual temperature, in all her life she has never seen her brother so broken and out of hope like today. Maybe the girl he flirted with was very special but as always nothing ever happens. "Ok bro, I'll leave ya alone for a bit. I'm gonna go see what Hamtaro's mega-q news is all about" She pats her brother's forehead to give him some comfort before walking towards the group of ham-hams who listened to Hamtaro.

"So... tell us Hamtaro, vhat's ze great news?" Asked an elegant white hamster with a french accent and wearing blue ribbons on each side of her cheeks.

"Oopsie Bijou but that's a secret, but I promise I'll tell you guys everything when-" Hamtaro couldn't finish the sentence because once again he looked over at the clock and gasped at the time. "Uh oh! Oopsie everyone but I gotta go! Bye-Q!" With that the orange/white hamster left in a hurry leaving everyone with a blank stare.

It seemed as though an hour passed since the adventurous hamster left the clubhouse, just what could the surprise be? Everyone assumed that it could be just sunflower seeds- even though they are delicious and good for hamsters, it doesn't seem that Hamtaro gave any hint that he could be talking about sunflower seeds. Well, whatever it is that made him excited everyone will just have to wait until he comes back.

For the still depressed tiger hamster he watched everyone have fun their own way, as usual keeping track on the two lovely ladies of the group; them being the pretty snow white French hamster and the sweet light tan hamster with a pink scarf around her neck. The one with the scarf is almost hard to be near while that baby hamster is next to her, actually the little one who always wears a yellow cape is pretty much always with the pink scarf wearing hamster. They're almost like mother and child or like sisters but one thing's for sure- they can't be seperate... EVER. For a time the tiger hamster longed for a companion just how his twin sister got the nerdy hamster- it didn't matter they are complete opposites but the love was the same.

It some ways he envies his twin for being able to be loved by someone she cares, it's true that he's known as the casanova hamster for always flirting around with any cute hamster girl he sees. Maybe it was something to pass time or he just likes to feel like Mr. Wonderful but no matter what there was always rejection one after another. He's always enjoyed to play around but it seems that he's also looking for the right one. He gave away another sigh and cuddled against the pillow, his sister watched him from a far and was extremely worried for her brother in fact she was that worried that she wasn't paying attention to her boyfriend who pretty much understands what's going on.

"Is Stan alright? He looks depressed" Asked the bookworm hamster as he takes his girlfriend's paw to let her know that he's right with her. He smiled when he felt her tightening the grip, she looked up at him since he was a tad taller than her and this is due to his large ears.

"He got rejected again but unlike last time where he sprung back up and looked for another girl- this time... like.. like I think it was so serious that his heart split in half, so like he's all blue and not so groovy" She explained as he nods and cuddles up with her. Instantly she blushed and smiled shyly once she felt the warmth and comfort of her boyfriend.

"Don't worry Sandy, I'm sure someday he will find someone to smoochie" He smiled with reassurance, the tiger girl hamster smiled back and lightly pecked his cheek with tickled because of the whiskers.

"Aww... Thanks Maxwell, I hope so"

Soon they heard a knock-knock sound but not just them, everyone heard but Hamtaro didn't need a key to open the door to the clubhouse- what could be the reason for this knocking? Boss was the one to walk over, being somewhat of a leader since he made the clubhouse and everything. Not to mention he always wants to be brave for a certain French hamster, he likes her very much and has always wanted to win her affection despite the fact that she already likes a certain orange/white hamster... That didn't matter to him at all, he respected that and still considers Hamtaro to be a great friend and besides... He seems pretty oblivious to her hints. The tall gruff hamster heads over and opened the door only to reveal a smiling Hamtaro; something was peculiar now he seems excited to do something.

"Umm Hamtaro?"

"Shh! Boss, I need you to do me a favor..."

After ten minutes the gruff hamster opened the door to reveal Hamtaro as they faced everyone.

"Ham-hams! Today Hamtaro's gonna show us someone really special!" With that Boss stepped to the side allowing Hamtaro to step forward, he didn't really see who that special someone is but the orange/white hamster promised that he will reveal that someone soon enough. Boss was left with curiousity so he stayed pretty close to check out the new hamster that might join the ham-hams.

"Hamha! Well, I know I was a bit jumpy today but this time I'm going to show you why..." He smiled brightly and looked behind him as if making sure that everything is ready. He stepped to the side and opened his paws wide. "Ta-dah!"

What he revealed turned out to be a hamster! However, that hamster turns out to be a girl which Bijou was not very pleased. Everyone gazed at the newcomer, she was definitely different than other ham girls- for started she has a small mohawk but not too big meaning the hair in between her ears was spiky but not too much, she has large eyes and within them was a sapphire color, she was a cute little black/white hamster wearing a crescent moon necklace. The black color covered her ears and a bit of her face and most of her backside while the rest was white from the front of her body up to where her nose it at. She rubbed her face a bit and smiled at the ham-ham gang before waving at them shyly.

"Umm... Hamha.."

Upon hearing a sweet, shy voice did it reach to the ears of a certain depressed tiger hamster. He blinked and lifted himself up as he tried to look past the other hamsters, there was a girl here and no way was he going to by pass this opportunity. He hurried to the group and with a couple of "excuse me" here and there he managed to get through and have a look at the new ham girl- she was gorgeous! Such a cute little black and white hamster, he's never seen such a cute hamster like her sure he has seen and flirted with many but this one was just different than the rest.

Obviously the first thing on his mind was to flirt with her and get to know her, pushing aside the other hamster just inches away from grabbing her paw when a ribbon lashed out and wrapped around his tail. Soon he was dragged away by his twin sister but, he wasn't the only one being smitten by her looks. Boss gazed at Hamtaro's guest and couldn't help but feel his heart racing and cheeks colored in a bright red. Wait, doesn't he have a crush on Bijou? It seems now he has a new crush on the new girl, everyone stared at her with smiles as Hamtaro took the initiative to introduce her.

"Ham-hams, I want you to meet my bestfriend- Tsuki! She's been my bestfriend since we were little and when I used to live in that town before moving here. She's a rocker hamster and knows how to play the guitar, her family also are rockers- Tsuki's owner, Hiromi is bestfriend's with Laura" Hamtaro explained with a bright smile on his face, he felt so happy to see his old friend again after so many years of being apart from each other and the best part was that Tsuki was here to stay.

The little black/white hamster blushed and smiled nervously as she waved, it wasn't until the whole ham-ham gang began to introduce themselves. When it was Bijou's turn she was bit well, not exactly angry but a tad jelous that Tsuki and Hamtaro have known each other for a long time and she didn't want the new girl to be a rival for Hamtaro's affection. It was down to the last two hamsters and this time it was his chance to shine, making sure Sandy was distracted the twin scurried his way towards Tsuki and grabbed her paw. She squeaked as she was obviously startled by the surprise of her paw being grapped unexpectingly, before his sister could react it was too late and she sighed as her brother was at it again.

"Hey there sweetheart! Where have you been all my life?" He winked at the clueless girl who stared at him oddly.

"Heke? You ok, dude?" She tilted her head to the side when the large hamster walked towards their way, at this point Stan wasn't about to move away from her. "Hey are you Boss?" The little black/white hamster asked cutely with a smile this making the field hamster nervous and blush but also surprised at how she knew his name.

"I'm- I'm... I'm uh.. Umm... what is my name- I mean! Yeah, Boss! That's right!" He gave out a nervous loud laughter as he was sweating bullets, true he also acts like that when around Bijou but this seems to be a different case here.

"Cool, Red's told me so much about you~!" She smiled, completely ignoring Stan's advances that which gives him quite a shock. However, he wasn't the type to give up so easily, but wait who's Red?

"Oh! Ahahaha!" Hamtaro scratched behind his head and smiled nervously at the mention of an old nickname he thought would never come back. "'Red' is my nickname"

"So baby..." In comes Stan to take the stage again as he was shaking his favorite green maracas in front of her, she looked at him almost with curiosity. "The name's Stan and I can the hamster of your dreams"

"You're so bizzaro, but kinda funny" She giggled as she walked away from him leaving a shocked Stan with his jaw literally dropped to the floor.

He wasn't the only one who was shocked in fact everyone was, to think there was a girl that can actually resist his flirty ways and avoid his charms. Most of the hamsters began to gossip-p with each other about the events that happened today, even Sandy was slightly amazed with how much resistance the new ham girl was showing.

It seems she was very much welcomed in the clubhouse as Boss kindly showed her around; giving her the grand tour while for the time in all his experience with girls the casanova tiger hamster felt defeated... But! Tomorrow is another day!

And so for the next chapter will be the start of rivalry! Yes, I'm making Boss fall for my character too, just wanted to make a little twist ^_~

I hope you enjoyed the first chapter so far, I really hope so- if not, then well, what else can I say? Anyway, next chapter should come out soon.
