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.

It all started about an hour after Thrax decided we'd go solo. We arrived at the foot of the brain. Hiding in an alleyway, Thrax looked up at it and whistled, "For a stupid guy, he's got a big brain."

I chuckled lightly at this. "And apparently he's goin' to some chicken wing festival in Buffalo, New York. Y'all know what that means? Hundreds of people to infect!" He laughed quietly, as to not attract attention. "I'm thinking of takin' the next body down in 36 hours, then 24, if that goes well." Looking outside, he nodded, "Let's go." He and I dashed outside, ducking from shadow to shadow until we were at a fence. "Mira, if you please,"

Nodding, I let loose a stream of fire, which burned the chain-link fence until there was a hole big enough for Thrax, who was at least twice my size, to get through. After he squeezed through, I jumped through and followed him to the elevators.

"This time we ain't takin' the elevators, stairs or even escalators." He winked as he led me underground to the underside of the elevators. I climbed onto his back, gripping his shoulders, as he sunk his claws into the underside of an elevator. "Goin' uuup." He said as we rose up. Looking through the clear windows, I could see a lot of Frank. Luckily, I didn't see a familiar blood cell or cold pill.

As soon as the elevator stopped, Thrax nodded up. I bent my head back and blew a small stream of fire on the floor of the elevator shaft in a circle, making a large plate-like part of the floor fall on my nose. I pushed it back up and onto the floor. I climbed out onto the now-empty elevator and held the "hold open" button as Thrax climbed into the elevator. "Good job." He nodded as he hurried out of the elevator. I scurried out before the doors could catch my tail and caught up to him. "Now for the most important room."

I smirked as we walked down the hall to the door leading to the hypothalamus chamber. Thrax burned down the door in no time flat. "Hey, um, you two can't come in here." A brain cell said sternly.

Thrax just chuckled, holding his chain in his fingers as he grabbed the cell and threw him at the hypothalamus chamber. It electrified him on contact, and he exploded. I tackled the other cell, bit at his neck and threw him onto the desk. The buttons electrified him, but he didn't explode. Then I joined Thrax as he approached the chamber, humming. "Baby, you are lookin' fiiine today." He drawled, smirking and adjusting his sunglasses. He shoved his glowing claw into the membrane. It exploded, making us cringe back and cover our eyes. There was a large hole, revealing spinning beads. Thrax leaned in, holding his hand up like a viper, ready to strike. "Hmmmmmm-yeah!" He grabbed a blue bead and pulled it out.

"Yeah." He chuckled as he held the bead near his chain. It sucked it in on contact. As the numbers of the temperature began rising, we left the room. Thrax began to chuckle evilly. "All we gotta do now is get outta here. Medical books, here I come!" He laughed.

I threw my head back and cackled alongside him. Suddenly, alarms began to blare. I looked around with wide eyes. Aww no, now what?

Thrax was probably thinking that as well as he removed his sunglasses, glaring. We ran down the hall until I spotted a door to our right. I stopped, but Thrax kept going. "Wuff!" I barked. He backed up, turned around and followed me into the door. We failed to see it read, "Subconscious: Authorized Cells Only."

Thrax and I pressed our ears against the door, waiting as the cells passed right by. We exchanged victorious smirks until Thrax happened to glance at the rest of the room. He straightened up in surprise as he pushed his glasses onto his forehead. "Huh?"

I looked, and my eyes widened. There were screens everywhere, and they were all black-and-white movie screens. I didn't quite realize where we were until too late; this was the place where bad dreams and memories were stored and played as horror movies in theaters.

Apparently Thrax realized this. "Wait, wait-wait." He muttered as we walked down the halls, looking around. I was getting kind of freaked out at the memories and nightmares this dude had. Scratch that; I was getting really freaked out! Apparently Thrax was as well. A woman on a screen yelled, "Get out!"

"No, I can't," Thrax muttered, sounding nervous as he spun around, looking kinda scared. I pressed my body against his legs, bending my ears back in fright. Thebes saw a screen where Frank was in a classroom with kids…wearing nothing but a shirt and underwear.

"What the-huh?" Thrax looked, flabbergasted at that memory…or was it a nightmare? My eyes widened in horror as I buried my face in his coat. I almost never noticed when he bolted for the door until he was gone. I looked at the screen and saw it was burning. I looked to my left and saw the last of Thrax's coat as he ran back the way we came. I ran after him, not wanting to be in Frank's freaky subconscious mind anymore. I crashed into the door as it was slammed shut. Pressing my ear against it, I heard Thrax saying something about Frank being, "Sick before I even got here." Then I heard footsteps.

No! He's leaving me! No, come back! Growing frightened, I frantically scratched at the door, whining as though a monster was in the room. When the door opened, I dove out and fell to the floor, covering my eyes with my paws and shaking.

"Aw, did those, memories and nightmares scare you, Baby Girl?" Thrax asked, laying a hand on my back.

Whining, I nodded. "Yeah, freaked me out too. But that ain't the Almira I know."

I looked up at him, confused. "The Almira I know would face those horrors and growl." He explained. "Now, I want y'all to do Big Daddy Thrax a favor and face that door and growl."

Not getting to why this was necessary, I stood up, faced the door and growled; since I was still nervous, it was a small one. "Ok, that's good." Thrax nodded. "Now louder."

"Grrrr."

"Louder."

"Grrrrrr."

"Louder!"

"Grrrrrr!"

"LOUDER!"

I opened my mouth wide and let loose a fierce growl, "GRRRR!" I stood there panting.

"Good job." Thrax petted my head. "Now c'mon, we gotta split." I followed him as we ran.

A/N I had a bit of trouble figuring out how Thrax could get under the elevator in order to hold onto it from underneath, but I think I got a decent explanation. There was also the trouble of how he'd get out. So I had Almira make a hole in the elevator floor for them to get out of. I think that's what Thrax would do had he been alone.

I love his line, "Baby, you are lookin' fiiine today!" I think that's his most popular line, next to, "Careful, I'm contagious."

I love the scene in the subconscious mind. When I first saw it, I thought, "If it scares the villain, it MUST be scary!" My favorite line was, "Whooh! This cat was sick before I even got here." I also LOVE the face he makes when he sighed; someone on DeviantART had a pic of him like that, and made him say, in comic style, "Man, my eyes hurt." Or something like that XD Now that's what I think he's thinking when I see him with that face XD
