The Day it Changed by Emma

It was the night of Halloween when the queen of hamster land was murdered. 

The poor queen yelled out in terror as the blade slashed into her furry skin.

This leaves us with 2 questions, who and why?

Halloween night 

Hammy:

I was laying on my porch in a pineapple suit, (that my mom forced me to wear) as I saw a black figure carrying a blade. I called out, “ nice costume" but they never replied.

Ipoopalot: 

 Hammy called me at exactly 10:34  explaining that weird hamster, and I said it was worth looking into. Me and Hammy have a detective agency and we are known around Hammyvile. So when the queen was murdered, we knew it was time to step in.

Hammy : The government of national Hammys, wanted us to check out the body of the queen. So we went to the palace to check it out. When we arrived, we wanted to ask the king what he had seen, but nobody knew where he was either. And just when I was starting to think that they should hire better guards, the king bursts in. He leads us to his office where we have a long chat . As I went into the office I noticed lots of gold , like sooooo much. Even the floor was covered in gold!! I took 2 pieces of evidence from that office. 1 The king had a bit of blood on his old worn shirt. 2 He was not fazed about the queen's death in any way. No ceremonial gardens, no thank you’s , and even no emotional faces !!! We had to take this in.

Ipoopalot:

When we got out of the office I had to go to the bathroom ( I poop a lot ) but we were in time to see the king creep out of the palace , and leave the guards alone . 

I think this king was a very peculiar one…..

Later that night we got a phone call, the phone call explained that he/she knew info on the situation. We immediately went to the hamsters “hideout” which was really just a broken down shed. And he told us some groundbreaking information.

“The queen was running a secret line for gold smugglers “

Hammy : We were finally getting somewhere with this awesome case, but before we did anything I wanted to research where the king got his gold. We scrambled off with a few notebooks and some other gold from the queens line, and made our way to the castle . There we discovered that only the guards were there. They frantically explained to us that the king was missing and gone from his room. We both looked at each other. Ipoopalot raised his furry eyebrows. “ We are only here for the king's office, it's private information “ I whispered in the biggest guard's ear. He instantly nodded, and hushed us away. We climbed up the three gazillion staircases.” Why did we not have to come this far in the first place” I huffed. Yeah, is there a hamster elevator in here!?!?” When we finally climbed up all the stairs, we limped into the king's office. Let’s just say we found some good stuff.

Ipoopalot: We found out that the kings office/bedroom was actually from a different gold line than the gold in his bedroom. But I counted the Queen's gold line is the only one in the state where there isn’t an actual other gold line unless you wanna go into crocodile world. Where there are gigantic crocodiles that can eat you hole and your little furry bones too. Why is all this gold here? We took a sample. It's not the same. How could this be? It must be from a different gold line, maybe there’s a new one in town we’ll check after we get back but this is definitely worth investigating Hammy, I think I owe you something.  So our plan was to go back to town talk with the person who gave us the information that the queen had a gold line and see if there’s any other gold lines that he knew of then we will talk to the government to see if there’s any private ones that’s when the real story started to unfold.

Ipoopalot: Excitement filled our bodies as we screwed out of the palace not even looking at the peculiar faces on the guards, I’m guessing they still haven’t found out where the king was which was a bit of a problem but I didn’t mean to mind that now it was my time to shine. I was the one who tracked up that phone caller so I got to ask all the questions usually he is the one that gets to shine but today it’s me.

Hammy: I went home while Ipoopalot went and talked to the hamster that gave us the information. When I came out of my house the next day stretching because I had a good night's sleep last night and had a clear head we are finally gonna crack the mystery! But one look at my friend's depressed face, I knew we had failed. "what’s wrong?” the hamster said there were no other gold minds in the country and the government followed that answer. He trailed on sadly…

Hammy : what?! I screamed there has to be a mistake. There must be! I was shaking my friend’s little furry body. “There’s not there’s no way that he could’ve gotten that gold unless you went to the gators.” “ But that’s impossible. Nobody ever comes back alive.” "I once heard of a boy named Marty who went all the way there just to see his uncle that was in jail and they lied him them for a trap and his uncle was actually dead and then his grandma was actually the uncle and then they watched the soap opera where they were actually in the soap opera  and then it was real life and then is that gonna happen to us?” "No!!!" Ipoopalot screamed, The king killed the queen!!!!!!!
