Hamtaro Ham Hams Head Seaward

## Video Plot

Laura is eating her breakfast when her mother calls her. She then leaves the house with Kana. Hamtaro then goes off to the clubhouse where he meets Oxnard. The two arrive together at the door when the rest of the Ham-Hams are thrown out. They find Boss cleaning up the Clubhouse and it is revealed that he wants Bijou to come. The other hamsters question whether or not Bijou would come which puts Boss in doubt. Howdy makes a joke that makes Boss angry. Boss then takes Hamtaro and Oxnard along with him to see Bijou.

Meanwhile, Laura is at school. She goes to get a bucket of water but it is heavy and it splashes her. Travis then shows up and lends her his towel to dry up. Hamtaro, Boss, and Oxnard arrive at Bijou's house where they see Maria fixing her fur. Bijou notices the hamsters outside her window and remembers them. Boss tries to talk to her but is too choked up to speak, so Hamtaro speaks up and tells her about the Clubhouse. Bijou declines the invitation because she is nervous to be out alone and is also afraid Maria would be upset if she knew she was gone. Maria shows up, closes the window, and takes Bijou away.

They return to the Clubhouse, and Boss is upset. They decide to try again, and Hamtaro along with some of the Ham-Hams go to Bijou's house. Bijou is surprised to see all of the hamsters. Hamtaro then walks in and helps her leave her cage. He encourages her to jump out, even assuring her that she could return before her owner missed her. Oxnard as well as Pashmina and Penelope encourage her by jumping between the branch and the windowsill themselves. Bijou decides to jump, even though she is still nervous. She almost falls off a branch but Hamtaro saves her. They all then return to the Clubhouse where the others have set up a welcome party for her. Boss is overjoyed, but Bijou notices her fur is all muddy from the journey there. She looks in the mirror, embarrassed, but Hamtaro cheers her up, saying her ribbons have "character". This makes her happy and she decides to play with the other hamsters. Later she returns home but promises she will come again.

Laura, who returns Travis's towel, writes in her diary before the episode ends.

One day, while listening to Laura and Kana plan an evening barbecue, Hamtaro becomes enchanted by what the girls are eating--a sparkling candy called “Diamonds of Sugar”. Puzzled, Hamtaro goes to the Ham-Ham Clubhouse to ask his friends if they’ve heard of these "diamond things". After many theories from the hamsters, Boss insists the candies come from the sky and are best seen at night.

So that night, while Laura and Kana's families enjoy the barbecue, the Ham-Hams plan a picnic of their own and set out to catch some candy. After several hamster pyramids and a lot of high jumping, they decide to chase falling stars, but the defeated hamsters can't catch a single one.

At the barbecue, Laura and Kana wish on the shooting stars and later at home Laura tells Hamtaro all about it. After learning about the wishes, Hamtaro knows he’ll get it right the next time by wishing that the “Diamonds of Sugar” will fall down all around him.

Laura's parents take her on her first trip to the beach; but when they tell her that the water can be dangerous for hamsters, she decides not to take Hamtaro. However, Hamtaro and the Ham-Hams have other ideas! They want to see the ocean, so they make a plan to go to the beach too, after agreeing that if they stick together, they can look out for one another. They hide in the back of the car as it travels to the beach.

When they get there, they play for a while until it begins to rain. Meanwhile, Kana is teaching Laura how to swim, further down the beach. When the rain starts to get nasty, they hide in a small cave in the side of a cliff for shelter. The Ham-Hams find them and devise a plan to save them. As Laura and Kana's families and searching for the girls, the Ham-Hams steal Forrest's hat and lure him to where the girls are.

With Laura's father wondering if the hat was alive or if his eyes were playing tricks on him, they return home.
