Yays for chapter 13! (bad luck number...)

Thank you, everyone, for taking your precious time to read my chapters! REALLY!

And now I hope you enjoy and not think that this was a complete time waster.

Characters (Except for the usual) are mine.

"So how did they make you all rebotic-y?" Sarah and Cara both asked as Sarah grabbed Surf's artificial arm while Cara started poking at his black eyes.

"Hey hey now you're gonna scratch the glass." Surf swatted Cara's hand away.

"Whoops sorry!" She apologized.

After Surf was taken to the school courtyard by everyone, everyone finally set him down next to the edge of the school grounds which of is next to the fence that had an old building on the other side. The building was scheduled to be taken down by late December which was also when everyone was going to be in winter break.

When they set Surf down everyone in school started bombarding him with questions, mainly about his death and how he came back here. The crowd of kids slowly got smaller and smaller as Surf slowly answered or partially answered all their questions. Soon what was left of the crowd was just some of Surf's actual classmates which were Oceana, Sarah and Cara, Rodger, Mindy (Red fox girl), Tib (Squirrel boy), Wilson (Penguin guy), and the two black bears whose names were Mike and Alan.

Surf didn't notice the two bears since Sarah and Cara kept asking him questions that he answered quickly. (The reason I say this is because he doesn't know that the bears aren't with Brian anymore.)

"Okay I don't have any more questions." Cara announced.

"Neither do I!" Sarah said in a singing tune.

Surf was finally able to have a breather when he noticed the two black bears. They were standing next to each other not too far away to Surf's left.

"Hey! What are you two doing here? Aren't ya supposed to be with your "Boss"?" Surf did the quote and quote sign when he said "Boss".

"We left Brian a long time ago." Mike (Surf's left) stated.

Surf looked to the others who were standing by to make sure that the bears weren't lying. Everyone nodded reassuring that they were speaking the truth.

"It's funny because I always thought the day you guys would rip yourselves from Brian's quote and quote rule would be the day I die." Surf said this while scratching the back of his ear.

"But you did!" Tib shouted.

"Exactly why I said it was funny."

"Yeah but now you're OUR boss!" The bears said together.

"Little bears say what!" Surf eyes widened.

"We said you're our boss now." The bears repeated.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa slow down!" Surf put his hands in front of him.

Everyone perked their ears to listen to what Surf had to say.

"So let me get this straight… You want me to be your… leader?" Surf asked the two.

"That's right!"

"I'm sorry but I can't be your boss or anything."

"Why not boss?"

"Please don't call me boss…" Surf begged.

"Okay boss!"

Surf sighed. He turned around and grabbed the fence as he looked up the ancient building. It was at least fifteen stories high.
Surf decided to change the subject.

"Shame they're gonna take Ol' Bessie down." The school called the building Ol' Bessie and sometimes after school Surf would explore it.

"Why couldn't they just keep Bessie there? Not like we need another grocery store anyway." Oceana said.

The others agreed to her comment including Surf.

Silence followed after the comment from Oceana but then someone shouted his name in rage.

"Surrrrfff! You pathetic rodent!" Everyone knew that voice all too well, especially Surf and the two black bears.

Surf turned around and saw a very angry grizzly bear coming towards him. Behind him were some very large polar bears that everyone thought were his new minions.

"I thought you were dead meat! And if you knew better you would have stayed dead." Brian growled.

Rodger stepped up to Brian.

"I thought you got suspended for twelve days!"

"I did, but then I heard some very interesting news from my new "friends"." Brian eyed the two black bears when he mentioned the polar bears. Mike and Alan were brave and didn't back down from his stare.

Surf yawned at Brian's outrage. This didn't make Brian too happy.

"You dare yawn at my face, rodent!" Brian spat.

"One I'm a porcupine! And two I wouldn't have yawned and I didn't dare."

You could see steam coming from Brian's ears.

Surf smirked.

"Oooh what now?!" Surf teased as he jumped around.

"You're pushing it twinkle toes." Brian warned.

Surf stopped jumping around.

"You know I've gotten better at defending myself ever since my little accident." Surf warned as well.

"You're just saying that! And I bet that little costume of yours is just to get everyone's sympathy. Tsk desperate as usual." Brian chuckled.

There was a bristling sound in the air which Brian didn't notice due to the fact he was too busy trying to think of things to insult Surf with.

However, Surf's classmates noticed the sound and were confused as to where it was coming from.

"I am not desperate!" Surf shouted at Brian.

"Sure you aren't…" He responded sarcastically.

The two kept bickering as the bristling sound got louder and louder the more they fought.

Surf noticed the way his classmates were reacting from the corner of his vision and remembered what happens when he gets angry.

"I really think you should stop getting me angry Brian. You don't know what happens when I do…" Surf warned the snickering Brian.

"Oh I know what you do! You start crying like the little baby you are." The polar bears behind Brian started laughing and they both high fived him.

"That's it!" The sound of multiple arrows being shot echoed around the court yard with everyone ducking their heads in fear. Not even a minute passed when the sounds passed and finished.

The ones that stopped ducking their heads saw Surf looking at Ol' Bessie who was now covered in blue quills.

"Well, look at what you did." Surf said not looking at Brian who was staring at the quills.

"Was that what you were all worried about? Phhfffttt, what a rip off."

"Now…" Surf put his hands on his hips.

"RUN!" Surf sprinted pass Brian. Everyone else started running from the sudden shout.

"What are you running for you little wusses!" Brian called out to the shrinking classmates.

"Your funeral not mine buster!" Surf yelled back.

"What *pant* are *pant * we *pant* running for *pant*?" Mindy asked during the run. (She's out of shape…)

Surf was about to answer when explosion sounds came from behind.

Behind the retreating kids Brian was watching in horror as one by one the quills exploded the side of the old building into pieces. Brian and the two loyal polar bears started running for their lives as the building came crumbling down from behind them. Dust took over the court yard making it hard for anyone to breathe. The sounds of crumbling concrete stopped and everyone tried to see what the aftermath was but couldn't due to the huge dust cloud.

The cloud soon settled down and everyone looked to where Ol' Bessie once stood. In her place was a mountain of rubble that even rammed its way through the weak fence.

Everyone was in shock from the damage Surf just caused with his quills alone.

"Well this is just great!" Surf yelled in frustration.

Surf got up and stomped towards the cowering bears that weren't too far away from the wreckage but they weren't harmed. Brian looked up seeing Surf towering over him and was obviously steamed. (How ironic)

"I warned you to stop but nooooooo! You had to push it and look what you did to Ol' Bessie!" He pointed to the rubble.

When he pointed he noticed that some rocks that were on school grounds were being thrown to the other side. Surf put his arm down and had an annoyed expression.

"Whoa, who's throwing those rocks?" Tib asked with wonder.

"50 bucks says it's Jo-Cher." Surf said confidently.

Surf rushed over to the depleting rubble and, just like he said, found Jo-Cher throwing rocks over the fence.

"Well hello there!" She said in a British accent as she threw a big rock over.

Surf said nothing.

"What? Aren't you going to yell at me for coming back here or be like "Why are you here, Jo-Cher?" or "Why are you helping, Jo-Cher?"" She nagged.

"I was thinking of what to say but you said the basics." Surf confessed.

Jo-Cher was the one being quiet this time.

"But I have to admit. It's pretty nice of you to help with this. I might as well help around too." Surf picked up a decent sized rock and threw it over.

Surf couldn't see it but when Jo-Cher had her back turned to him after he said the sentence she had the smallest hint of a blush within the white powder. ( :O *gasp* )

Everyone tried to stay away from the rubble due to danger hazards but soon enough the principle came running out in a panic.

"What happened?! Is everyone okay?! No one hurt?! Is the school damaged?!"

"Sir!" Oceana stood in front of him to make him stop panicking.

"Everyone is okay… no thanks to Brian though." She pointed at the bad boys crew.

"Hey don't put all the pressure on me! Surf was the one who destroyed the building!" Brian countered.

"Building? What in the worl- OH SWEET CORN APPLES!" The principle finally noticed the mountain of rubble and the fact that it tumbled past the fence line. He ran over to where Jo-Cher and Surf were with a lot of kids following.

Surf threw a boulder over when the principle started screaming in his ear in an especially high voice.

"SWEET CORN APPLES WHAT DID YOU DO?!"
"OW!" Surf covered his ears and sparks started flying from his arm.

'Since when do men have such a squeaky voice?' Surf thought as his eyes spazzed out.

"Oh dear my bad, but what happened to Ol' Bessie?!" The principle threw his arms in the air. (Funny how I was going to put Snowy XP)

"I thought it was pretty obvious that it was taken down."

The principle looked at the top of the rubble that went past the fence to see Jo-Cher standing there.

"You get down from there this instant young lady!" He yelled.

"You're not my *Beeeep* dad." Jo-Cher picked up a rock and threw it away.

From behind the principle you could hear kids going.

"Oooooooo she said a baaddd woorrrdd!"

"Like I give a crap!" Jo-Cher snapped.

"Jo-Cher please calm down! Do you really have to get all worked up because of small things?" Surf said as he had his pinky in his left ear.

Jo-Cher pouted and threw another large rock onto the mountain rubble.

"Okay Surf, now tell me what happened to *sniff* Bessie." The principle was tearing up.

Surf gave him a weird look before answering his question.

"Well Brian and I were a small argument, and I use the word small loosely, then I started getting angry." He was interrupted.

"I don't understand how an argument made this happen!" The principle pointed to rubble.

"You didn't let me finish!"

"Oh okay, continue please."

Surf rolled his eyes.

"Anyway so I started getting angry and I knew what happens when I get angry so I warned Brian to stop, but no! He had to push it and cause me to shoot my quills out!" Surf started to have a small tantrum to himself.

"I thought that was a wives' tale of porcupines being able to do that."

"Well I'm the only porcupine, that I'm aware of, that can do so." Surf said as he got out of his small tantrum.

"But I still don-"

"I must add that my quills are explosive…" Surf mentioned.

"Oh, are they now?" The principle thought Surf was kidding.

Surf gave him a serious look before reaching for the back of his head, of which he pulled a quill out. Most of the kids started getting worried and backed away.

"Don't worry, it only blows when it's not in contact with me." Surf remembered The Slide from his "test" a while ago.

Surf lengthened the quill to where it was about half as tall as himself. He then pointed the quill at the principle.

"If you don't believe me when I say these are explosive then you should have no trouble in taking this out of my hand."

The principle looked hesitant.

He looked at Surf who was waiting and then back at the quill. His instincts were going wild telling him not to touch the quill. Another moment of an awkward silence occurred before the principle broke it.

"Okay I believe you!"

Surf moved the quill away from him.

"Good, now I have to wait for something to come up that would let me use this." He looked at the quill.

"Until then, I have to hold on to this dangerous quill." Surf put emphasize on the word "dangerous".

"So does that mean I have to do all this myself?!" Jo-Cher called down to Surf.

"Hey I still have a free arm to use until the police get here! " Surf called back.

And right as if Surf summoned them, everyone heard a siren in the distance.

"Speaking of the devil…" Surf mumbled to himself.

Soon enough cruisers and fire trucks came to the front of where the great building once stood.

A lioness officer got out of one of the cruisers and inspected the area. The lioness had sun glasses on as well as a very serious face to top it off.

"Well, sure seems like some knucklehead bombed the place." She growled as she put a tooth pick in her mouth.

"Pretty stupid of them too…" She mumbled to herself as a rookie Dalmatian rushed to her side. (Familiar?)

She looked down at the rookie, waiting for his report.

"Ma'am we got a large amount of children near some of the rubble that broke through the fence!" He was in a salute during the whole time.

"We also have something unknown that is throwing big pieces of concrete over to this side!"

"Hmmm…" The lioness walked to where the fence broke and started climbing over the rubble.

She managed to get over the rubble and into the sight of the children.

Most of them jumped from her sudden appearance.

"Okay! I need everyone to get back, it's too dangerous for you kids to be near this!" She started shooing the kids back towards the school as well as some other officers that were coming from where she came from.

They failed to notice Jo-Cher and Surf, who also failed to noticed the officers as they threw huge rocks around.

The officers got the yellow caution tape and created a fence of tape that kept the kids from getting anywhere near the rubble.

Once they finish, the lioness started talking.

"Okay, so here's the deal! I need you all to be truthful when answering these important questions that I am going to ask you now, got it?"

Everyone nodded their heads.

"Good! So, does anyone know who is responsible for this mess?" She pointed her thumb to behind her, gesturing to the mountain of rubble.

Everyone immediately pointed to where she was pointing which confused her.

She looked behind herself and finally noticed Surf among the rocks, as well as Jo-Cher.

She frowned and made her way to them.

"Hey!" She shouted within hearing distance.

Surf's ears perked up as he looked behind himself, seeing a very not happy lioness coming towards him.

"Nice Halloween costume kid, now tell me… did you cause this?" She stopped in front of Surf and glared angrily down at him.

Surf gulped.

"Yeah…" Surf couldn't hide his fear of the lioness.

She grabbed his wrist of his real hand that held the quill.

"Where's the explosives kid!?" She demanded.

Surf was freaking out so he stuttered so much that she couldn't understand a word that he was saying.

"Speak clearly!"

"I didn't mean too!" Surf wailed.

"Where are they?!" She shook his wrist violently.

Evidently, the shaking caused him to drop the quill…

Surf gasped and started trying to pull away from the officer, which he succeeded in doing so. He ran, knowing that the officer would chase after him.

Jo-Cher was watching from atop the pile but when she saw the quill drop she ran for it.

"That son of a…" The lioness mumbled to herself as she gave chase to the fleeing porcupine.

'Just a little bit more away… from… the… quiilll…" Surf thought.

Then he was tackled but the lioness.

"Oof!" Surf face planted to the ground again with a very heavy lioness on top of him.

"You're in a lot of trouble kid…" She started putting hand cuffs on him when there was an explosion that went off from behind them.

Surf squeezed his eyes shut when he felt the strong winds coming from behind him and the lioness fly on by. He could hear large rocks smashing onto the ground dangerously close to where he was. He slowly opened his eyes when the winds stopped and rocks weren't falling.

He was suddenly pulled up but the officer and was made to stand up. The lioness's glare was more intense then it was before.

"So what was that huh? Were you planning to blow me up or something?"

Surf started stammering again.

"HUH?!" The lioness repeated.

"No no! I wasn't planning to, you made me drop the quill!"

"What in heaven's name are you talking about, boy?" She questioned as she started pulling Surf back to the rubble that now had smaller rocks and a small crater.

She dragged him by pulling the one hand cuff that was locked on his real wrist.

"Well you see, my quills are explosive and everything. Then you made me drop the quill I had in my hand which activated it to detonate." Surf explain, not expecting her to believe him.

"You got yourself some imagination kid." She responded.

"It's true! I can prove it to you right now!"

She stopped and glared at him again.

"Then prove it. And I swear if you try to attack me…"

"I promise I won't!" Surf quickly said.

"Okay then, go on ahead and prove it to me that your quills are explosive." She put emphasize on the word "explosive".

Surf hesitated for a split second before grabbing one of his quills. Once he got one he threw the quill over the fence and into the mountain of cement pieces.

"I think we should put some distance between us and the bomb." Surf said as he tried tugging to the direction away from the quill.

The lioness thought he was playing games as she just rolled her eyes and followed Surf.

Then Surf switched from walking to running which almost made the lioness trip.

"Why you little…" The lioness was about to yank back when another explosion went off.

This made her trip and Surf to fall backwards from the weight.

She looked up seeing pieces of rocks flying above them and crashing onto the ground, some very close to the two.

When everything was settled, Surf started getting up and helped the lioness onto her feet as well.

"Okay… so you proved that your quills are explosive but that still doesn't explain why you bombed the building." She said as she dusted her shoulder off.

"It wasn't entirely my fault!" Surf exclaimed.

"When I get angry my quills shoot out to behind me and then, you know, explode. And Brian got me really angry earlier." Surf explained.

"And who is this Brian?"

Surf looked over to the crowd of kids who made a clearing with only a grizzly bear and two polar bears standing in the middle.

The lioness walked over to the three with Surf reluctantly following since he was hand cuffed to her.

She made it to the tape wall and did the sign to the bears that said "Come here". They did so, not wanting to anger a police officer.

"So… Did you get this kid angry?" She pointed to Surf who was behind her.

"Phhhfftt no! He's only trying to get me in trouble!" Brian exclaimed.

The officer looked back at Surf who looked really angry.

"Are you really going to try to lie to an officer like that?" Surf asked.

"You can ask anybody! Just ask these two if I did." He pushed the two polar bears in front of him.

The lioness stared at the bears before questioning them.

"So, did he get this boy angry?"

"Oh no, no, no! Bos- I mean… Brian would never do such a thing." They both said in a stupid sounding voice.

"Is that so?" She looked at Surf again.

Surf was still looking at Brian with his arms crossed now.

"Why don't we ask the rest of the school?" Surf suggested.

This is where Brian started freaking out.

"NO! I mean… do we really need the whole school to say otherwise? Isn't two people enough?"

"Not in this situation." The lioness said.

"Did he get this boy here angry?!" She yelled loud enough for everyone to hear.

Everyone started saying "yes" or "heck yeah" or "yep!" but not one single no.

She then did her death glare on Brian who started wimping out.

"Do you know what happens to kids who lie?" She asked calmly.

The bears shook their heads even though they had an idea.

The lioness looked at officers that weren't too far from her right and whistled. They came to her side and she pointed at the bears.

The other officer dogs saluted and went over the tape to hand cuff the bears.

"No! I'm too young to go to jail!" Brian cried.

"That's right! So you're going to a juvenile detention center instead."

All three of the bears started crying and called for their "mommies!" as they were taken away. Surf couldn't help but let a laugh escape from him but the lioness caught this immediately and gave him a look that made him lose his giggles.

Once the bears were out of sight, the lioness put her cuffed hand up in the air, which made Surf do the same, and opened the hand cuffs that she had on herself and Surf.

"Well I have to say you're free to go kid but don't go on blowing up any more buildings now or I'll have to take you in next time." She warned.

Surf nodded in understanding.

The lioness started looked around though for an unknown reason.

"Wasn't there another kid around here helping around with the rocks?" She asked.

Surf was about to answer when Jo-Cher appeared next to him, looking pretty angry.

"I'm not a kid!" She yelled as she started stomping in place and throwing her arms around.

The lioness looked at her weirdly.

"You got a little something there." She pointed to her cheek.

"And here, here, here, here, and here." She pointed to other parts of her face.

Jo-Cher crossed her arms and stared at the lioness angrily. The lioness stared back with that same deathly glare that scared Surf to death.

Jo-Cher, soon enough, looked away in defeat.

"Okaaayyy…" Surf broke the silence that was occurring.

"What's going to happen now?"

"Well, first I have to call the construction team that was planning to take the building down before… you happened." She looked annoyingly at Surf who did a cheap smile.

"And now I have to tell you all to go home and possibly come back in about, let's say, a week? Maybe two, it really depends how fast the workers work." She explained.

The principle came up to the front and suggested.

"How about everyone goes home and then I'll call everyone with an automated message saying when school is going to start again."

"That's a good idea, now… everyone get your stuff, you're going home!" She yelled loud enough for everyone to hear again.

All the kids started cheering and rushed back into the school to get their stuff.

Surf had to push through a crowd of kids to get into the classroom that had his stuff in it due to the fact that the room was completely trashed. He once again had to push through with his little bag and school supplies in hand. The halls were pack which caused "traffic" and made Surf make slow progress in making his way out.

He finally made his way out into fresh air after lord knows how long and got his personal space back. Kids that ran past said good bye to him which surprised Surf quite a bit since no one never really said a good bye to him in a friendly way.

'Well I sure have to get use to this." Surf thought to himself as he made his way down the empty road that he always went down to go home.

He noticed that Jo-Cher disappeared when everyone went inside the closing school but he expected that she was nearby.

"I have a feeling that you're stalking me again, Jo-Cher!" He shouted at nothing.

But, apparently it wasn't "nothing" for Jo-Cher appeared next to him with her hands behind the back of her head.

"Sup."

"Is it really necessary for you to be invisible?"

"For me, yes."

Surf frowned at her logic but decided not to question it.

A moment of silence followed.

"You know, your school is really sucky." Jo-Cher randomly said.

"I'm sorry! Since when were you a school critic?" Surf asked as his home came into view of the fighting two.

Please review on how I did. Don't be shy now =P

See ya later in chapter 14! (So many chapters =O)
