Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 6/25/03

Laura and her class are studying the star constellations at school, and have a field trip planned to study the Milky Way under the real night sky. Laura and Kana are all excited because they will have plenty of stars to wish on. Kana says jokingly to Laura that if you wish on a star at the same time as someone else, the two of you will fall in love. Laura, half believing, sets her mind on standing by Travis when her class goes to see the stars so that they can make a wish on a star together. Hamtaro is confused about this Milky stuff in the sky, reports to the Ham-Hams that Laura is about to go way far away to make a wish on a star with Travis. At all costs, the Ham-Hams set out to keep Travis away from Laura so that she cannot go with him to wish on a star. But to Laura's eyes, it looks like Roberto is trying to keep her from being with Travis. Luckily, the good-natured Roberto is up for proving his good intentions to Laura, and on the night of the field trip, the sky is alive with starry lights, so beautiful that Laura forgets all about her wish and she, her class, and the Ham-Hams just have a wonderful time being exactly where they are.moreless

NOTES (8)
ADD NOTES
- Repeated on Cartoon Network on Saturday, August 21 as part of their "Saturday Block Party," following "Ham-Ham Games." Repeat episodes aired during this block featured close-captioning, a first for Hamtaro on Cartoon Network.
  EDIT SHARE
- The gold charms on the Ham-Ham's tree are identical to the one worn by Meowth on Pokemon.
  EDIT SHARE
- In addition to Rollerblades and Straight A's, Laura also put a wish on the tree saying: "some player to have a crush on me."
  EDIT SHARE
- This was actually the first episode of the third season in Japan. It was most likely added to the American second season lineup, due to the removal of another episode which likely proved untranslatable because it had to do with Panda, an ogre and some sort of Japanese bean-throwing practice.
  EDIT SHARE
- The plant in this episode which Laura had papers hanging off of saying things like "Rollerskates" and "Straight A's" is associated with the Japanese Star Festival, which was explored in more detail in "Pepper's Visit," but not mentioned by name.
  EDIT SHARE
- When Hamtaro refers to his sheriff's badge in this episode, he's referring to when he was a sheriff in the previous episode, "The Tale of Princess Bijou."
  EDIT SHARE
- If Cartoon Network schedule listings are to be believed, this is the last episode of the season, even thought their own advertising promised "52 new episodes."
  EDIT SHARE
- This episode was originally scheduled for June 18th, but pushed back one week due to a mini-marathon of other Cartoon Network programming. At the time, it oddly appeared in Cartoon Network listings as "Episode #105." (Which at the time didn't make sense, but it turns out that this actually is episode 105 in the Japanese version of the show.)
