The Story
Hamtaro sits on the window sill, watching the horizon. "I wonder if there's more Ham-Hams out there" he thought. Just as he finished his thought, a moving van passes by. " Hey, someone new in the neighborhood!" he exclaimed. He was so excited that he accidentally fell to the floor. "I wonder who it is" he said as he ran toward his escape door. Just before he could leave, he heard that he knew too well. "I'll be back in just a minute, mom. I'll going to check on Hamtaro." It was Laura on her way upstairs. Hamtaro runs for his cage, trying not to worry about the freezing sweats on his back. He scrambles back into his cage, just as the door creaks open. "That was way too close" he thought. Laura sat on her knees to Hamtaro's size. "I'm going to visit the new neighbors do you want to come with me?" Laura asks. Hamtaro jumps up and down in pure joy. "I'll take that as a yes". She puts Hamtaro into his carrier. "I wonder if there's a new Ham-Ham on the block?" He said as he watches the world from his carrier. Laura and her mother are leaving the house. "Did you get the fruit basket" Laura asks. "Yep, got it right here". Mrs. Haruna replied. They walk down the street past Kana's house. The walk seemed long until they found the moving van. The family was still moving their stuff into the house. There is a young boy about 10 years old, a mother, and a little girl, about 6 years old. The mother was carrying in the last of the boxes when Laura and her mother arrive. "Hello" Mrs. Haruna shouts. The woman looks at them. "Hello" she replied. "Are you our new neighbors?" "Yes, we're just up the street". "Mind if we come in?" Laura asks. The woman hesitates to answer, looking into the house and back at them. "Sure, come on in". They walk in and took off their shoes. Then walk into the living room where the woman was waiting. "Please make yourself comfortable" she says. Laura and her mother sit on the fluffy couch. "Thank you for allowing us to come in" "Oh not a problem, its always nice to meet new neighbors" "I agree" says Ms. Haruna. "Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Ms. Okanoa"
