________________
Laura didn't get a chance to spend time with Hamtaro that morning; her alarm clock went off way too late. She dashed out of bed and gave a simply "Mornin', Hamtaro!" to the empty cage, not noticing he wasn't there, and ran downstairs for breakfast.
Her mother smiled. "Good morning, Laura."
"Morning, mom!" Laura replied with a smile, sitting down in front of her plate of food already set out for her.
Her dad grunted as he drank his coffee, and peered out from his morning newspaper. "Seems the Ushida Science Research Lab lost an animal from an important experiment."
"Animal?" asked Laura between mouthfuls of pancakes.
"Yeah," Forest replied before taking a sip. "They do experiments on animals- like gerbils, rabbits..."
Laura frowned, an upset look on her face. "What about hamsters?"
"Sometimes."
She chewed on some more pancake. "Isn't that illegal?"
He shrugged. "I don't know, pumpkin. There's laws against it, but only if it's cruel."
She frowned and looked at her plate. "Is my experiment cruel?"
"No, of course not, dear." her mother replied. "You respect Hamtaro and Oxnard and treat them well in your experiments, and you're not hurting them."
Forest looked up from his paper again. "Seems they're offering a reward for her return. She's a bear hamster, it says, and she was in a metal animal carrying box."
Laura looked up at the clock. "Oh my gosh, I've gotta run!"
And she did.
________
Laura ran in the classroom. Unlike she thought before, she wasn't late.
Maria and Kana were talking to each other, and she joined the conversation, since there were a few minutes before class. "Hi! Whatcha talking about?"
Maria frowned a little and pointed to a metal box on her desk. "I found zhis box in zee yard. I'm not sure vhat it is."
Laura's eyes went wide and she looked at the box. "Isn't that the box dad was talking about?"
"What box?" Kana asked, her voice curious.
Laura filled the two in.
Maria looked upset, her brow furrowing. "But... zhere was no hamster inside..."
Laura bit her lip, as did the other two, and Kana said what they were all thinking. "If the hamster wasn't there... then where was she?"
