One morning Laura woke up, and went over to Hamtaro's cage. "Guess what Hamtaro"  she said excitedly. Hamtaro awoke and thought "What?", "you'll never believe who's coming for a visit...Uncle Mike!!!, and can u guess who he's bringing along, that's right Shelby!" Hamtaro was  filled with joy, he jumped around his cage, and ran on his whiz wheel "I can't believe it Shelby's coming! it feels like forever since I last saw her!, hey I have an idea when she comes she can   meet the Ham hams!" As soon as Laura and her parents went to go get some things from the store, Hamtaro jumped out of his cage and ran to the clubhouse. "GUESS WHAT  EVERYBODY!" he exclaimed as soon as  he got there. "What" they all asked. Laura's Uncle Mike is coming for a visit today and he's bringing his Hamster Shelby along."  Who's Shelby?" "His hamster, she's really cool and nice, i'm sure all of you guys will love her! I've known her since we were both little baby hams, she lives on a big farm out in the country, and her human's breed a kind of dog called an  Australian Cattle Dogs for a living. She grew up with them an loves them very much, so much in fact she sometimes kind of herds cattle with them. she's really fast to. Anyway she's black with a white stomach, has these beutiful blue eyes, and loves  to wear cute little bandanas." "Well she sure sounds nice enough"  said Oxnard. "She sounds totally cool, i  can't wait to meet her!" exclaimed Sandy. "I  had a great idea, I thought that we should have a party for her here, because i'm sure she'd love to meet all of you guys to!" "I think that's a great  idea Hamtaro!" said Bijou. "Same here", "Ookyoo!" said Pashmina and Penelope. "Then it's setteled, were going to have a party for Shelby, I better be getting home soon so you guys should get the party  ready here, and as soon  as all the humans go out like  they usually do, i'll bring Shelby here!"  "OOPAA!!!" all of the Ham  Hams exclaimed. "Um Oxnard, Boss... can I see you two over here for a minute?" asked Hamtaro.  Oxnard and Boss  walked over and asked "Whhat is it?" Hamtaro whispered in their eas, "umm... well ya see  I  kind of  have this humungous crush on Shelby, but she doesn't know it, and well i just had to tell somebody i knew wouldnt blab it to her by accident." Oxnard and  Boss both looked totally shocked, but they finally said "O-Ok Hamtaro, we promise we won't tell." " Thanks alot you guys, well i better be going now bye." by Hamtaro they both said." "Bye-Q everyone", " Bye-Q Hamtaro!" and with that Hamtaro ran on back, eager for Shelby's arrival.
The door opened, and Laura shouted, "Hamtaro, Uncle Mike, and Shelby are here!!!" Hamtaro was sooo happy! Laura immediately rushedupstairs and got him, she brought him downstairs and sat him and Shelby down on  some pillows to play. Hamtaro blushed. "Hamha Hamtaro!" Shelby said joyfully. "Hamha Shelby". Shelby took out a little bag  and said "got you a present, Hamtaro blushed again and said"thanks, you really sholdn't  have". he opened it and said "WOWW!!!, PUMPKIN SEEDs!!!  Thank you so much Shelby!' your welcome Hamtaro"  Laura then came back into the room picked up Hamtaro and Shelby, and put them in Hamtaro's cage. "Ok you guys you have a good time playing with eachother, and we'll be back later kay?, bye" As soon as Hamtaro  heard the car  leave he said "ok Shelby i have a special  surprise for you now, just follow me ok?" "Ok,  I can't wait to see what it is Hamtaro, lead the way!"  And with that Hamtaro, and Shelby  went down  the drain pipe and went down to the clubhouse. As soon as they got to the door Hamtaro said "Ok Shelby, stay  here for just a sec i'll  be  right back" "Ok" Shelby happily, yet confusingly said.  Hamtaro went into the clubhouse everything was ready, and everyone was there. This is great you guys, now get in your places, and i'm going to bring Shelby in. Everybody hid. Hamtaro came back out and said  "all right now close your eyes"  "Ok" Hamtaro took Shelby inside and said "all right" all of a sudden confetti went everywhere and  all the Ham  Hams came out and yelled  "SURPRISE!!!!!!" Shelby was so excited she didn't  know what to say,  except  "Ha-Hamtaro, wh-what is this?" "It's  your surprise of course,  these are the Ham hams, theyre all my friends, and they couldn't wait to meet you, so we decided to throw  this party for you." "Oh wow  thank you so much Hamtaro!""It was no problem Shelby, now let me introduce you to everyone. First this is Boss, he built  this place and he's a field hamster, and this is Oxnard, and Bijou, Sandy, Pashmina, little Penelope, Howdy, Dexter, Cappy, Panda, Maxwell, and  Snoozer.... he really doesn't get up much, and of course Stan." all of sudden Stan  ran over took Shelby's paw "Hello beutiful, I don't believe i've ever seen a cuter hamgirl than you." Shelby sweatdropped. "STAN!,CUT IT OUT!!!" Sandy and  Boss both screamed at the same time, followed by Sandy wrapping her ribbon around Stan's tail and dragging  him away. Shelby  just laughed, and  said "That was quite funny, i've been flirted with before, but  never like that, haha." "All right so let's start the party already you guys?" Hamtaro announced. "OOPAA!" they all shouted, all shouted, and the party began.
