A/N: SO SORRY FOR THE LONG UPDATE! Anyway, I had a request for Beautiful by James Blunt so I'll be using that song… And… I hope you like this chapter. Please review. (And BTW, this will contain a free oneshot contest, but to find out what you have to do, you have to read the story cause it's at the bottom.)
Disclaimer: I don't own Beautiful by James Blunt (if he wants to sell it, tell him where I am!) or Hamtaro. All I own is Kether & this plot.
20 Reasons I Don't Like Maxwell As A Boyfriend by Laura Amanda McConnell
Reason Number EightSandy was still slightly embarrassed about the whole tunnel of love issue but she attempted to push it out of mind.
She had finally stopped being so angry with Maxwell but she was still slightly fed up. She just didn't get it! He was never like this before Kether came. Or maybe he was & you didn't realize it. Sandy couldn't help but grimly think.
No! She had to win the bet. It was now a war between lust & love. She only had lust for Kether… right?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
She… is… so… beautiful. Kether thought as he stared at Sandy. He sighed dreamily. How… could… anyone… be… so… hot?
"Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeether?" Jingle said, waving his hand in front of the young black-haired teen's face, "Earth to Kether! Paging Kether! HELLO, IS ANYONE THERE? KETHER! ROCK AMERICA JUST WENT OUT OF BUISNESS, GREEN DAY JUST SPLIT UP! Man, he's really in a trance! Stan, dude, he won't get out of it!"
Stan smirked. "I have an idea. KETHER! SOMEONE JUST STOLE YOUR MASCARA!"
Kether turned away from Sandy at breakneck speed. "WHERE?" he demanded, "I'LL KILL THEM!"
The boys burst into a FIT of hysterical laughter! They were holding their sides, trying desperately to not bust any of their guts.
"WHAT is so funny?" Kether demanded.
THAT just made them laugh even harder. Stan was biting his lip, rolling on the floor attempting to stifle his laughter.
"WHAT IS IT?" Kether demanded.
"You!" Stan managed to say but he could not control the laughter anymore so he began rolling on the floor laughing, unable to stop.
Kether groaned.
Sandy walked over. "What's going on?" she asked.
"Don't ask me." Kether said in disgust, getting up & brushing the dust of his pants.
"Oooookay… I won't. Trust me." Sandy said, "Hey, do you want to go to the mall?"
"Ya," Kether said, "Shure."
"Yay!" Sandy said, causing her girl friends to smile secretly.
"Hey," Kether said, "I have a surprise for you." He put his hands over Sandy's eyes & led her outside. Maxwell watched from the corner, wondering what they were doing.
Here's the thing we started out friends
It was
cool but it was all pretend
Yeah yeah
Since u been gone
(A/N: Hey! It's my FAVORITE Kelly Clarkson song! I couldn't resist putting it in.) "Kether," Sandy whined, "What is it?"
U dedicated u took the time
Wasn't long till I

Yeah Yeah
Since u been gone
"A surprise." Kether replied off-handedly.
And all u'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured

That's all u'd ever hear me say
"Alright," Kether said, "You can open your eyes now."
But since u been gone
I can breathe for the
first time
I'm so movin on
Yeah yeah

Now

What I want
Since u've been gone
Kether took his hands away & Sandy saw a new black convertible.
"What the hell…?" Sandy asked.
"My car." Kether said, flipping the keys up in the air & catching them.
How can I put it? you put me on
I even fell
for that stupid love song
Yeah yeah
Since u been gone
Sandy smiled. "Kether," she said, "You are the coolest guy I've ever met!"
Kether smirked & opened the car door for her.
Sandy smiled again. "Thanks."
How come I never hear you say
I just wanna be
with you
I guess you never felt that way
Stan smiled from the doorway. "Looks like my sister has a new boyfriend."
"What?" Maxwell asked.
Kether started the car & drove off with the radio blasting.
But since u been gone
I can breathe for the
first time
I'm so movin on
Yeah yeah
Thanks to you
Now
I get
I get what I want
Since you been gone
"Oh my god," Sandy yelled over the wind & the music, "I love this song!" she turned it up louder & Kether smiled.
You had your chance you blew it
Out of sight,
out of mind
Shut your mouth I just can't take it
Again and
again and again and again!
Sandy started singing.
Since you been gone
I can breathe for the
first time

Once the song was over & Kether had pulled into the parking lot Sandy declared, "That is the best Kelly Clarkson song ever!"
"Damn straight, luv." Kether agreed as him & Sandy walked into the mall.
"Wanna go get a milkshake?" Sandy asked.
"Shure." Kether agreed, "How can I turn down a milkshake with the prettiest girl in the world?"
Kether & Sandy both spun around to face each other. "What did you say?" Sandy asked.
"I said, 'How can I turn down a milkshake?'." Kether lied.
"Oh okay." Sandy sighed.
After the milkshake Sandy dragged him into Wet Seal, her favorite store. "I want this, & this, & I totally have to try on this! And OMG that is, like, soooo cool! And I mean, oooh, who the hell wouldn't want to try on this? Eeeee! I've been looking for a shirt like that forever! ACK! I'm so lucky! That's the last one & it's just my size! Oh wouldn't this look awesome on me? What about this? Ok. I MUST try this on!" Sandy threw the clothes she picked out onto Kether.
Good thing that I'm not a wimp like Maxwell. Otherwise I would never be able to carry this. Man, who knew clothes were so heavy? Kether thought.
Finally when Sandy was done throwing all her clothes on Kether she decided to try everything on. But when she looked around she couldn't find Kether anywhere!
"Kether," she said worriedly, "Where are you?"
"Right here!" came a muffled voice from a pile of clothing.
Sandy pulled the clothes off to find the top of Kether's head sticking out. "Oh my god! Kether!" Sandy said, "I'm, like, so sorry! Are you alright?" she pulled off the rest of the clothes.
Kether spit out a sock that was in his mouth. "Define ok Sandy." He said, rubbing his soar arms.
"Why didn't you say something?" Sandy asked.
"You looked like you were having so much fun…" Kether said.
Sandy, idiot! He's so sweet, you should go out with him.
"Well thanks…" Sandy said, "Wait right here, so you can tell me what you think about all the clothes." She rushed into the dressing room with the mountain of clothes.
Kether collapsed into a chair.
A girl passing with her boyfriend said, "See, he's such a sweet boyfriend! Why can't YOU be like that?" referring to Kether.
"-muttering & referring to Kether- Well at least I'm not a freak."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!"
"Uh… nothing."
"That's what I thought."
"-muttering- Well it sure sounded the opp-"
"WHAT?"
"Nothing!"
"Good boy. –pats him on the head-"
Kether shook his head as they passed. What was the world coming to?
"Uhhhh Kether…" Sandy's voice broke through his thoughts.
"What?" Kether asked.
"Can you… come in here? I can't get this shirt on." Sandy said.
Kether's heart leapt into his throat. "Sure."
Sandy opened the door & beckoned Kether in.
Kether walked in & Sandy handed him the shirt. It was a red shirt with metal chains leading to hoops that connected the back of the shirt to the two sleeves.
Sandy went to remove her bra & fumbled with the clasp.
"Let me do it." Kether said, unsnapping it.
"T-thanks." Sandy stammered.
Kether pulled the shirt over her head & wrapped his arms around her to straighten the chains.
Sandy spun around once the shirt was in place & embraced him in a long passionate kiss. Kether kissed her back & slid his hands up her shirt.
Sandy pulled away moments later. "I-I'm sorry." She said, "That shouldn't have happened."
Those four words hurt Kether more than anything had ever hurt him in his life but he'd trained himself to be a hard core Gothic punk so he kept the hurt from showing in his eyes. "Of course," Kether said, "I don't know what I was thinking…"
"I guess we were just caught up in the moment…" Sandy rambled on.
"And I guess…." Kether started to say.
They both laughed nervously.
"Uh…" Sandy said, "You can go wait outside while I change."
"Alright." Kether said, walking out, "Hurry up."
"Sure. No problem." Sandy felt blush come to her face as she slipped the shirt off. What had just happened?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
That night the sun was setting & the gang was sitting outside, enjoying the romantic era. Sandy walked outside wearing her new red shirt with the hoops on it, some big silver earrings, some tight jeans, & a pair of leather high-heeled black boots, all of which were new.
She flaunted herself in front of Maxwell, hoping he would compliment her. "Sandy," Maxwell said, "You're blocking my view."
Sandy felt angry but instead sat next to him.
"Hey Maxy," she said, "Isn't the sunset pretty?"
"Yeah, I guess it's OK." Maxwell said.
"Anything else that's pretty?" Sandy asked.
"No…" Maxwell said, "Not at the moment."
"Anything sexy?" Sandy ran her hand down his arm.
"Sandy," Maxwell turned to face her, "What the hell are you talking about?"
Sandy felt even angrier. "You know… anything new?"
"No." Maxwell said, confused.
"AGH!" Sandy yelled in frustration, getting up, "YOU FREAKIN' IDIOT!" & stormed off in the general direction of Kether.
"What did I do?" Maxwell briefly wondered before going back to reading his book.
My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
Kether was leaning against the side of the club coolly with his arms crossed over his chest. "Wat's wrong?" he asked her.
"MAXWELL!" Sandy said, "He just…"
"You look nice, Sandy." Kether said.
Sandy was shocked.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
Her own boyfriend didn't remember her birthday or compliment her but this guy did? He was so sweet…
"T-thanks." Sandy said.
"So what's the problem?" Kether asked.
"It's Maxwell!" Sandy said, "He just won't… compliment me!" Sandy felt so silly over such a stupid little thing.
"Son of a…" Kether muttered, "I don't know why. You look so damn gorgeous."
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Sandy blushed a brilliant shade of magenta to make the dog on Blue's Clues ashamed.
"Thank you." She said quietly.
"I mean… you look hot. You look sexy." Kether told her, wrapping an arm around her suggestively.
Why did this seem to mean so much more coming from Kether than Maxwell?
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fucking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
"Anything I can do to make you feel better?" Kether asked.
He was cute, cool, understanding, sweet, & considerate. What more could you ask for in a guy?
"Oh Kether… you've already done it." Sandy cried.
Kether handed her a red rose. "Here. It's something that's pretty. Almost as pretty as you."
Sandy took it. He's romantic too.
"Thank you." Sandy said. She then kissed him deeply on the lips.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
When she pulled away she said, "Kether… do you think I'm pretty?"
"No." Kether said.
She sighed.
"I think you're beautiful." Kether said.
I will never be with you
