Arthur P.O.V
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*
I hit the alarm clock the was 'screaming' in my ear as I rolled over to get up out of bed that became a task since I was tangled in the sheets. Sitting up in bed I had peered over the edge to see that Mystery was nowhere to be seen until I felt something soft rub on my leg. "Good Morning bud, how did you sleep?" I asked grabbing some skinny sweats and a clean black shirt to get in the shower. Mystery yipped at me as I guess it was a 'yes' that he was telling me, dancing around my feet as I set his food down. Once I had finished with him I jumped in the shower, feeling the warm water cascade down my hair and body as I scrubbed myself clean. Getting out of the shower I took my time drying myself off since It was complicated with one arm.
Before putting on my clothes I stepped back into the bathroom and looked inside the cabinet for my pills. Ever since I left the hospital the doctors there kept on giving me all of these 'happy' and 'anti-depressant' pills that they think I needed, but I never liked taking them. Putting on my clothes, socks, and shoes I calmly made it downstairs with Mystery right beside me. Uncle Lance had waved a hand to me as he kept on reading the paper while I grabbed me some coffee and headed towards the garage. Turning on the lights in the room I sat down at my desk looking at the project that was laid in front of me. It was an unfinished project of a prosthetic arm I was working on, but I didn't have any motivation whatsoever.
Normal P.O.V
It had been 4 hours since Arthur had come down to his desk in the garage to work on his arm and there was no progress coming along. Sitting back in his chair, Arthur sighed out loud at the fact he hadn't done anything since he got in there. Suddenly the door to the garage open, and there stood Lance in his amazingly short glory (haha) with a Kingsmen mechanic shirt, blue jeans, and brown boots. "C'mon squire, we're going to go get some fresh air by going to the pet store to get your weird dog Mystery some food, and because you haven't been getting any sunlight. You look like a damn ghost for crying aloud!" Lance spoke up, tossing Mystery's leash to Arthur. "I'll be in the car so you need to be there in 7 minutes." and with that Lance walked out of the garage, closing the door behind him.
"Well I guess I should bud, I mean I do look really pale so I guess getting some fresh air will benefit the best of us," Arthur grabbed the leash from Mystery's mouth and clipped it on him. "And see if we can maybe find a new partner as well." Arthur finished before walking upstairs with Mystery tailing behind him. Closing the door behind them, Arthur raised his hand to his face as the sun pierced his eyes with its bright glow. "C'mon son, before traffic is backed up!" Lance yelled from the car. Jumping inside the car, Arthur strapped both of them while Lance pulled out onto the street to get through the errands for the day.

Pulling up in front of the pet store, Lance had immediately found a parking spot and parked the car right there so it was closer to the front, and they wouldn't have to worry about the extra weight of the groceries they were buying. Lance had gotten out of the car and locked his side before moving to the passenger to let Arthur and Mystery out. Locking the car behind them Arthur, Mystery, and Lance made it inside the cool building. "Damn it all! They changed the order inside the store now I can't find anything," Lance gritted his teeth together turning to Arthur and saying "While I figure out where that blasted dog food is why don't you take a look around son". Arthur nodded his head before walking down to the new small animal's area the store had just installed for more business.
"Wow! This must the new section placed inside the store since I've heard from Vivi the last time she went...." Arthur's voice trailed off after her name left his lips. Before the group had divided and they weren't in between a rock and a hard place, Vivi knew Arthur was very fond of small critters especially hamsters. Mystery jumped up on Arthur's leg and softly nudged his hand with his cold and wet nose in which Arthur responded with a soft scratch behind his ear. "It's okay buddy I'm fine, we just gotta work everything out together and it'll be alright," Arthur spoke to mystery when he lifted him up to his chest like a baby and said "Ha! That one looks just like a mini version of me; eyebrows and color scheme just alike." Arthur laughed. Mystery softly yipped at Arthur then used his paw to point back into the little terrarium where the little guy wasn't moving.
"Excuse me, sir." A woman beside Arthur stood in front of the terrarium before reaching inside to grab the small non-moving hamster. "Excuse me, miss, is there something wrong with the little guy?" Arthur asked the employee, who was gently holding the little guy in the palm of her hands. "I'm sorry sir, but I was just taking his little guy with me because his hind legs are paralyzed which makes him immobile to move so -". "Bullshit!". "Sir, I understand you're mad about the hamster being put down, but -" Arthur immediately cut the lady off. "I'll take him off your hand's miss, bullcrap they just won't adopt him." Arthur carefully held the hamster in his hand after the lady settled him gently in his hands.

Driving home from the pet shop, Lance had grumbled under his breath for the extra items for the new member of the family he had to pay for. "Arthur," Arthur flinched and then turned his head towards Lance. "Remind me to never kick you out of the house ever again" Lance grumbled as he remembered that they only stopped for dog food, so how the hell did they end up getting a hamster and other crap. A small smile graces Arthur's lips and nodded his head as he looked down at the box.
'Maybe I have a chance to creating something new for him so I can give him a life that he needs' Arthur looked at the little hamster that was settled in his new environment. The hamster reminded him of his favorite he used to look up to as a child. " I'm going to name you Galaham, little buddy" and the hamster, Galaham, nudged his head softly into Arthur's fingers in acknowledgment to his new name.
