Just to remind everyone, Boss and Bijou are still BF/GF.

Hamtaro, Boss, and Bijou are carrying nuts to the clubhouse.
:boss:: Man. Who would of thought that someone would be dumb enough to leave a bad of un-opened walnuts.
:hamtaro:: I know. These are fresh. Who would wanna throw them away like that?
:bijou:: Well they must have a good explanation. Cause it'z littering to me.
They pass through the park. They see lots of field hams digging holes in patches of dirt. They look at a sign above.
:hamtaro:: 15th Annual Field Ham Digging Contest?
:bijou:: Oo la la. Look at all the field hams.
:boss:: Yeah. I know. Let's just keep going.
They see some more practicing. They see Sabu.
:hamtaro:: Hey look it's Sabu!
:sabu:: Huh? Hey you guys!
:hamtaro:: Hi Sabu!
Hamtaro and Bijou go over. Boss just stays there.
:sabu:: How's it going you guys? You here to see us train?
:bijou:: We were on our way to the clubhouse with Boss and the walnuts we found.
:sabu:: *looks near the entrance* Hey Boss! What are you doing hiding behind your nuts!?
Boss comes out.
:boss:: How'd you know I was there.
He moaps and comes over.
:sabu:: Well anyways. I'm training for my fourth win for this years Digging Contest. I don't suppose you're entering too Boss man? Remember you used to three times in a row?
:boss:: Uh? Well...no..
:hamtaro:: You were in the digging contest?
:bijou:: Did you win a contest?
:boss:: Well..I..
:sabu:: Don't worry about him. He hasn't won a single one ever since he first started.
:boss:: Heh heh. Yeah.
:sabu:: In fact. Everytime he squares off againest me, he ends up falling behind. But it's surprising to see him even make it to the finals againest me. I have won all three contests I've entered. Each with Boss in it. Soon this will be my first, without any competition of course. Too bad it won't be the same without Boss. I've enjoyed beating him. *Boss gets madder* He's so persistant. He didn't even stand a chance. I mean it's not like he'll ever win one of these days. Ain't I right?
:boss:: Be quiet!
:sabu:: No need to get angry. It's not my fault you couldn't stay focus on the round tunnel. Cause you can't even make a perfect circle on the last part of the race! Ha ha ha ha!
Boss snaps. He picks up Sabu high.
:hamtaro:: Calm down Boss!
:bijou:: Control your blood pressure.
:boss:: Now you listen to me Sabu. Things will be different this year. I'm gonna enter, I'm not gonna bail out, and I am gonna kick your butt in the contest!
Puts him down.
:boss:: Got it?!
:sabu:: Whatever. Just don't cry when I win again.
He and the other field hams laugh.
:boss:: Just you wait Sabu.
They glare at each other with the lightning coming out of there eyes.
:hamtaro:: Uh oh. Boss's gone off the deep end again.
:bijou:: Will he ever learn to control himself.
:boss:: You guys head back to the clubhouse. I got training to do.
:sabu:: Just don't break a leg now! Loser!
They laugh.
:boss:: Oh you'll see. You'll all see.
He starts digging fast.
:bijou:: I hope he doesn't hurt himself.

Next day. The Hamhams go to the training field.
:hamtaro:: Boss! Where are you?!
Nothing.
:oxnard:: I don't get it Hamtaro. Why are we here?
:hamtaro:: Boss is determined to win this contest. So he could be here.
:stan:: Hey look over here!
They go over to Stan at a hill. They see Boss all dirty and bruised. He's sleeping.
:pashmina:: He's so dirty. He needs a bath.
:penelope:: Ookyee!
:howdy:: Out of all the dirty hams in the world, he's sure dirty.
:bijou:: He must of been working all night.
Boss wakes up.
:boss:: Well that was a good nap. *looks up* Oh hi guys!
:hamtaro:: Hey Boss! Don't you think you're taking this a bit too far?
:boss:: No. I'm going all the way.
:bijou:: But you're gonna get hurt from straining.
:boss:: Well I don't care. Sabu and the other field hams said that if I'm entering, there'd be no point in them training.
:oxnard:: Maybe they went to eat some breakfest?
Boss grrs at him.
:hamtaro:: Why don't we help you train you Boss? Like keep times and you can improve on them?
:boss:: I don't know.
:bijou:: Please Boss?
Her eyes go watery.
:boss:: Oh man, Bijou. Please don't give me that look...oh forget it. Alright alright. You can help.
Hamhams: Hurray!

Later....
:maxwell:: Alright Boss. Get ready. We're gonna compare time rounds, and improve them.
:boss:: Okay okay. Ready!
:maxwell:: And, go!
Boss goes through the entire tunnel course. He goes through the different stuff, then he goes through the spirally tunnel part. He goes a bit sloppy on that part and gets a bit dizzy.
:boss:: Ohhh. I can't go on like this.
He slows down a bit, but makes it out. He falls down.
:boss:: Time!
:maxwell:: Time is....7 minutes and 30 seconds.
:boss:: And last years time?
Maxwell checks chart for last year.
:maxwell:: 7 minutes.
:boss:: Darn it! Everytime I race in the finals I always get a larger time!
:hamtaro:: You tried though.
:boss:: Refill the tunnels! Give me another go.
Later on......Boss comes out of the tunnel again.
:maxwell:: 7.45...
And again....
:maxwell:: 8 minutes....
And again....
:maxwell:: 9 minutes....
:howdy:: Is it just me, or is Boss getting slower or slower?
:dexter:: Quiet! Let him do it his own way.
:howdy:: Well I say his way is getting him to defeat much faster.
:boss:: Gosh darn it. It's no use. Every time I go through, I gain more time.
:sabu:: Oh just give up already Boss.
He and some other field hams show.
:sabu:: You can never get a faster time on the last rave because you go nuts on the swirly tunnel part.
:hamtaro:: Oh come on Sabu. Boss is very good at tunneling and you know it.
:sabu:: I know he's good, but that's the other stuff Hambone. This is the big time. This is every field hams dream. To win the Digging Contest, is to prove they are the best diggers in the whole of Japan. And I'm gonna show that I am the greatest, by winning again. So I must win at all costs, to show that I'm not just a simple wagon carrier, but a true ham indeed.
:hamtaro:: But picking on Boss is just wrong.
:sabu:: I know, but it's the one thing you learn in these contests. So he better shape up or shape out. Cause this race is gonna be the best yet. And if he makes a fool of himself again, he'll be a big laughing stock. Take my advice and quit this before it's too late.
They leave.
:boss:: Maybe he's right. Maybe I should quit.
:hamtaro:: But you can't quit yet.
:boss:: Sabu's right. Everytime I do this race I always get slower everytime.
:hamtaro:: But like Maxwell said, we can improve on the times.
:boss:: Look. Don't try and cheer me up. I'm just gonna not show up tomorrow.
He walks away.
:howdy:: Looks like he's given up. Who wants sunflower seeds?
They sweatdrop.

Later that night. Boss is just looking at the contest place.
:boss:: I just don't get it. Everytime I do this I end up getting slower and slower. Why am I like this?
:bijou:: Because you're worried that you might make a mistake. You want everything to be perfect.
:boss:: Bijou?
She comes up the tree and comes by him.
:boss:: What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be home?
:bijou:: Maria's already asleep. And I knew you'd be here still.
She sits by him.
:boss:: Well you didn't have to do that.
:bijou:: Why don't you tell me why you always slow down on purpose.
:boss:: Purpose? I don't do it on purpose I.....
:bijou:: Boss....
:boss:: Okay. I guess I am worried. It's just like Sabu said, it's every field ham's dream to win these things. But I'm just worried that if I make a mistake on something I could lose it all. But I end up losing anyway and...oh I don't know what I'm saying.
:bijou:: Boss. You shouldn't worry about what you think will happen when it doesn't. Just do what you can.
:boss:: But..
:bijou:: I'm not gonna make you enter the contest tomorrow. I'm just saying that you should think about what I told you about. And remember that win or lose, we think you're a winner to us. And me.
She climbs down and leaves. Boss thinks for a bit.

Boss is now on the course again. He holds a watch on him to keep time. He does the course again. At the swirly tunnel part...
:boss:: Okay. I'm not gonna worry about nothing.
He finishes the course.
:boss:: Okay....6.57.....Woah! I gotta do it again!
He finishes again.
:boss:: 6.35.
And again....
:boss:: 5.48.
And again....
:boss:: 5 minutes....
He keeps practicing all night. At least till 10:30 I mean.
:boss:: Final time...3 minutes and zero seconds. Now for bed. I'm ready.

Next day...
Newsham: Good day people! I'm Newsham! And this is the the 15th Annual Digging Contest! Where field hamsters all over Japan have gathered to test their skill and endurance in different digging senarios. Our 3-time champion Sabu is here as well, to gain his fourth win. Let's get onto the action.
The audience shows many hamsters including the hamhams.
:sandy:: Like, where's Boss? He's gonna miss the contest.
:stan:: What if he bailed on us?
:hamtaro:: But he couldn't of left us, could he?
:bijou:: (Boss...)
On the field.
Announcer: Time for the seed planting event. May mister Boss please step here please?
:sabu:: Oh don't worry about him. He's not gonna show. I bet....
:boss:: I'm here!
Boss comes onto the field.
:bijou:: It's Boss!
:hamtaro:: Alright Boss!
Hamhams: Go Boss!
:sabu:: So you show up after all. So you decided to take another loss into your record huh?
:boss:: You wish. Just watch me.
Announcer: And...go!
Boss plops a hole in a flash, sticks a seed in a flash, and buries it fast.
Announcer: And....Boss automactily wins the first round! With a time of 7 seconds, it's a new burieing record!
:maxwell:: It's says here that the old one was 35 seconds. That's just fast.
:hamtaro:: He must of been practicing or something.
:bijou:: I knew my little talk would help him.
:hamtaro:: What little talk?
:sabu:: Not bad Boss. But just wait until later.
:boss:: Oh I'll be ready.
The contest keeps going and going until it comes down to Boss and Sabu.
Announcer: Alright! Time for the final event! The Tunnel Race. Sabu and Boss will dig in there seperate tunnel and dig through the path provided. It'll start off straight, then a few bumps, then a zigzag, and finally a circle down and to the finish. First one there wins. Okay? Get ready...
:sabu:: You know Boss. It's not too late to back down from this race. You know you can't win againest me.
:boss:: Oh just you watch Sabu.
Announcer: And.....
:bijou:: Wait a second!
Bijou comes onto the field.
Announcer: Excuse me miss. No one is allowed down here but racers or personel.
:boss:: It's okay. Give us a minute.
:bijou:: Boss. Here put this around your head.
She takes her left ribbon off and wraps it around Boss's head like a headband.
:boss:: Your ribbon.
:bijou:: Just in case you worry, think about me and the others. That ribbon has a bit of me on it.
:boss:: Bijou..thanks.
She heads back to the stands.
Announcer: And...go!
Sabu and Boss start digging. Everyone watches the TV which shows Boss and Sabu's progress.

In the tunnel, they are going at an even pace.
:sabu:: I must admit, I'm surprize you can keep up with me. Let's see how long it lasts.
:boss:: Oh you ain't seen nothing yet.
They go through the stuff, and almost to the swirly tunnel.
:sabu:: This is it Boss. Let's see how much you can handle! Ha ha ha ha!
He speeds up.
:boss:: (Okay. You're the man. Just don't worry about nothing.)
He speeds up very fast. Past Sabu's point. They are close together. Boss makes it out first. Everyone cheers.
Announcer: And Boss wins the race!
Newsham: Wow! A new champion is here! Boss is the winner!
:hamtaro:: He did it! He won!
:bijou:: I knew he could do it.
:dexter:: You were saying about him giving up Howdy?
:howdy:: Well someone tell lost. This is a contest, so it's a test to fail something. Get it? Con means bad, and test is what you take. He he!
They leave him to go to Boss.
:howdy:: Hey! Wait up!
Back with Boss. He gets a trophy.
:sabu:: Hey Boss. You did good. Congratulations.
:boss:: Thanks.
:sabu:: Sorry I made fun of you those times before.
:boss:: That's okay. I knew you were only trying to toughen me up.
:sabu:: I guess it worked then.
The hamhams come and pick up Boss and celebrate.

Later that night with Sabu at the contest site.
:boss:: Hey Sabu.
He comes by.
:sabu:: Oh hi there.
:boss:: Wanna train a bit for next year?
:sabu:: You want to train with me?
:boss:: Yeah. Since I'm new champion I figure I'd train more with the ex-champ.
:sabu:: Well....alright.
They go down to the area.
:sabu:: This will be the best training session ever. You are the man.
:boss:: Well almost Sabu. Almost.

The End

Rate please. And sorry if I might of bashed on Sabu a little. I didn't mean to do that. Or at least I think I didn't bash on him.

How come no one ever rates my stories no more? :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

heh sry I had hw anyways..I really liked that 4 some reason :blink: I didnt know sabu could be that harsh o.o;; oh well great story ^^

Well supposely I guess he was toughening Boss up I guess. I don't know what I was thinking.

BTW, thanks for posting. You're the only one who posted a review.

srry I didn't review, but my computer's been broken, so i'm using my dad's laptop. That was a good story, but I don't think Sabu would be that mean! Oh well, still a good story! keep writing! :)
