Prologue - The Letter
The Ham-Hams talked in their clubhouse.
"Yeah, I heard it was going to be raining the whole week!" Panda stated sadly.
"The whole week?!" Boss yelled. "What the heck are we suppose to do until then?! That's a whole seven days!"
"I have never seen so much rain." Bijous stated softly. "I hope zat it stops soon..."
"Don't worry!" Sandy cheered, twirling her ribbon wand in the air. "There're lots o' things ta do inside!" she jumped up and landed on one front paw. "I can teach you guys some of Hilary's tricks!"
"Sandy's right!" Hamtaro agreed. "There lots and lots of fun things to do inside."
"I hope zat you are right." Bijous said softly.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Boss went and answered it.
"Elder-Ham?" Panda asked. "Jingle?"
Elder-Ham and Jungle stepped in followed by-
"Pepper!" Oxnard exclaimed happily.
"What are you guys doing here?" Stan asked.
"Well, guess what ya'll?" Pepper asked back.
The Ham-Hams looked at her curiously.
"Boss, that's yer name, right? This clubhouse is really known!" Pepper exclaimed. "Lots of hamsters out there know who most of you guys are! Especially you, Hamtaro! So, this guy, Jingle, came over to my ranch and showed me this letter! Read it, Boss!"
Boss took the letter.
"Dear Ham-Ham Clubhouse..." Boss read out loud loudly. "We have heard of your many, many stories and adventures. In fact, we have a play that must be shown at our theater. The play is the original 'Romeo and Juliet'. Unfortunately, no one will come to our auditions and try out, claiming the play is old and is only used by amateurs. We now ask if you would come and tell us your answer in person. The Ham-Hams this note is addressed to are the following: Boss, Hamtaro, Bejou, Pepper, Pahmina, Penelope, Cappy, Oxnard, Jingle, Maxwell, Panda, Sandy, Stan, Snoozer, Elder-Ham, Dexter, and Howdy.
Thank you for your time. We hope to hear from you soon. The Retsmah Theater Of Plays.
P.S. Make sure to bring everyone mentioned...
There are directions to the theater here..."
The hamsters paused.
"We get to be in a play!" Howdy cheered. "Hahahohoheehee!"
"...What's a play?" Hamtaro asked.
Everyone paused. Maxwell opened his book.
"A play is something in which different people, or hamsters in this case, act out a story." he read.
"Then who's Juliet and Romeo?" Stan asked.
"The play 'Romeo And Juliet' is a tragedy story about two lovers not allowed to be together." Maxwell said. "The two overcome many obstacles in keeping their love a secret, but soon the story comes to a tragic ending when they both kill themselves for love." his eyes watered as he hugged his book. "It's a very fantastic story, actually..."
"Two lovers not allowed to be togezer?..." Bejous asked. "Zat is horrible!"
"Ookyoo!" Penelope agreed.
"And those hamsters are actually asking us to act such a tragic play?" Pashmina asked. "Do they know how young Penelope is?"
"I think it'll be fun." Sandy stated, sticking out for a change.
Everyone stared at her.
"After all, Maxy said it's just a play and people just act it out." she explained. "I mean, I know it sounds bad letting Penelope take part in it, but I heard a lot of young humans act it out...Hilary said she was Juliet in the play to her friend once on the phone!"
Silence.
"I think it would be fun also." Hamtaro agreed. "I don't think any of us have bee in a play before!"
"Think of the great experience of the audience applauding!" Sandy added.
"All their attention will be on us?" Oxnard asked in awe.
"That's right! I also heard that the play 'Romeo And Juliet' was a big hit back then!" Sandy replied.
"We can bring the olden days back to life!" Pepper exclaimed excitedly.
"Yeah! And even if we mess up, we can always just count on the audience to laugh in a not-really teasing way!"
"Well, I like the idea! Maybe I can find some hams that'll actually appreciate my jokes!" Howdy said gleefully.
Soon, everyone agreed to take part in the play. They all headed towards the theater. It wouldn't be all that huge as is in HUGE GIANT places where movie stars had the Grammy Awards with humans, but it was just about the size of a regular movie room in the movie theaters for humans.
"I am Gandalf! Thank you for coming!" the manager welcomed. He was white with big, brown spots. "All of you!"
He handed all of them pieces of paper with writing on it.
"These are small sections of the script." Gandalf explained. "I'll call you each into a room one at a time and you must act out the lines while reading them as well as you can."
That didn't take a long time. Soon, everyone had preformed the script.
"Now, all of you were brilliant!" Gandalf admitted. "But there can only be one Juliet and one Romeo for this play...The list..."
He handed them a piece of paper.
"The play will be at the end of the week. There will be background actors as well to fill in the stage." Gandalf explained. "Until then, practice, practice, practice!"
And the Ham-Hams did so. They practiced their lines, reading out to one another, acting out a mini-play...Then, the day of the play. Papers with information on which actors were playing which characters were handed out...

~~~~~
Me: Okay, in the next chapter, I'm not going to use any of the official names like Romeo or Juliet. I'm just going to say the hamster's name like Hamtaro instead of Romeo...
The next chapter will jump right into the play's story, as in everything will be realistic and not be written as if being acted. It will be written as if it were true and really happening to the hamsters!
Oh, and I twisted the story a lot so it's pretty different from the original "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakesspeare.
