A/N After becoming a fan of the movie, Osmosis Jones, I made an OC: a pet hyena for Thrax, named Almira. I decided to introduce her by telling her life story. Her picture can be found in my DeviantART gallery; I go as DarkraixCresselia there.

I own only Almira and any other characters you won't recognize. The ones you DO recognize from OJ are owned by Warner Brothers.

As soon as we entered our hideout, Thrax collapsed onto a chair. He laid his hand on his forehead for several seconds before sighing and brushing his dreadlocks back. "Well, thismesses everything up." He huffed as I approached him. "The Immunity's probably lookin' for us as we speak."

I stood and placed my paws on his thigh, then dropped the paper on his lap. "Whatcha got there?" He picked up the paper as I backed away on four paws. After a few minutes of reading, a grin grew on his face. "Scratch that; only Jones knows of my plan." He said, tossing the paper back onto the floor.

I cocked my head, confused, as he stood up and ripped the curtain off of a large window, laughing. "What's so funny?" Bruiser asked.

"I dunno." Beauford shrugged. They glanced at me; I shrugged and shook my head. I wasn't so sure myself.

Thrax continued to laugh as he leaned on his hands against the window. "They're makin' this too easy!" He leaned down and against the window on one hand, and held his stomach with the other, as he laughed harder. Finally composing himself, he stood up and said to the germs, "You know, in all the bodies Mira and I've been in, no one has ever gotten wise to us, and now, for the first time," He jabbed the window a couple of times with his claw in emphasis. "An Immunity cell has figured out everything, and they don't believe him!"

While the germs only chuckled nervously, I laughed. Oh my goodness, so that's why he was fired!

"Can you taste the irony in that?" Thrax chuckled, making me laugh more. The germs laughed as well until Thrax snapped, "Shut up!"

I immediately stopped and sat up straight, startled, as the germs quieted down. I glanced at them as Thrax continued, "What're you three laughin' at?" He shoved a box away from a car and pulled off a tarp, revealing a trunk of pollen pods. "Alright, we're back on schedule." He said as he began stuffing pods into his coat pocket. I jumped onto the car and grabbed one in my mouth, squeezing it like a toy.

"But Boss, we're the only ones left." Bruiser protested. "Maybe we should, incubate for a while?"

Seeing the glare grow on Thrax's face made me think only two words: uh oh. He turned sharply on his heel and pointed his glowing claw into Bruiser's face. "You incubate!" He snapped as I climbed to the floor and glared at the germs. I lived with Thrax long enough to know nothing will stand in his path to victory; nothing.

"I said 48 hours, and I'm gonna make my deadline!" He continued, lowering his claw as Bruiser and Beauford crouched down in submission, whimpering.

"B-b-but dere's only three," I growled as Beauford corrected himself, "Four o-o-of us! We can't get th-the bead a-a-and avoid Jones! He knows a-a-about our p-plan!"

"Hmmm." Thrax hummed, dimming his claw. "You're right, all four of us can't." He snapped his fingers as he sauntered to the door. I walked behind him, knowing where he was going with this. "That's why it'll only be the two of us: me and Almira." He opened the door and exited. I sneered and giggled at the astonished looks on the germs' faces. Suckers.

As soon as I was out, Thrax closed the door and locked it with his claw, igniting it at the same time; he still had a scowl on his face. As we walked away, the warehouse burst into flames. "Medical books aren't written about losers!" Thrax snapped.

I snorted in agreement. That ain't how viruses get in the books; they keep their eyes on the prize. My thoughts were interrupted as Thrax rubbed my head. "I guess we're flyin' solo, Baby Girl." He smirked. "Just like ol' times, huh?"

I nodded, smiling, as I remembered my first heist with Thrax a year ago. It went smoothly, just like this one would.

Boy, was I wrong…again!

A/N I know, a short chapter. I just couldn't think of enough to put in this, aside from the Thrax scene we see in the movie. The next one will be longer, I promise.

Like I said, this is another of my favorite Thrax scenes :D Especially when he's laughing at first, then he yells, "Shut up! What're you two laughin' at?"

You'll notice he kinda/sorta/a little yelled at Almira, as she was laughing along. I wanted to show that he doesn't always favor her; she gets in trouble sometimes. It just doesn't seem like Thrax to totally favor her, sparing her from punishments should she do something wrong. He's a bit soft on her because of her past, and because she sticks with him no matter what; he's just not totally soft.

Recognize Almira's last quote? It was when she thought nothing could separate her and Thrax, then he had to leave. If you know Osmosis Jones, you'll know what she meant by she was wrong again ;)
