"Who are you?!" Twilight got herself into a fighting stance with her scythe in the direction of the hedgehog.

The hedgehog giggled to herself as she flipped her butterfly knife closed and jumped off from the unconscious people pile. She put the knife up her sleeve for future uses.

"Aww, what with all the hostility?" She walked up to Twilight and stopped in front of the scythe.
Twilight growled as the hedgehog took a look at her scythe. She suddenly wacked the scythe away from herself, of which didn't make Twilight too happy.

"Don't touch that!" She started hugging her scythe.

The hedgehog only giggled again.

From behind Twilight, she could hear someone stammering. She turned around to see Surf pointing at the hedgehog with wide eyes. He continued stammering like an idiot as the hedgehog swept past the she wolf and walked up to Surf who continued.

When it seemed that Surf wasn't going to stop the hedgehog slapped him and left a red hand print on his left cheek.

Twilight went "Ouch…" with the blue bird, which retreated away and flew next to her head, chirping as if it was saying "Ouch" too.

"JO-CHER!" He yelled, completely oblivious of the pain from the smack.

"The one and only!" She smirked.

"But… but… HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?!"

"Things, stuff, pandas." She answered nonchalantly.

"I never thought I'd miss not getting a straight answer from you." Surf chuckled.

"I only give straight answers to straight people!"

"Oh really? Wait… HEY!"

Jo-Cher started laughing as Surf just looked at her with steam coming from his head. Twilight was looking at two, completely lost.

"So you two know each other?" She looked to Jo-Cher and to Surf then back to Jo-Cher.

"Thought it was pretty obvious." Jo-Cher said sassily.

Twilight glared.

"I was just making sure!" She rested her scythe on her shoulder and the blue bird perched on it.

"Riiiggghhhttt." Jo-Cher pretended to believe.

Twilight scoffed as Surf was pondering something.

"But seriously, how did you survive the poison?" Surf hoped she would give a straight answer.

"I told you already, things, stuff, and pandas!"

"Okay, are we going to get out of here or not?" Twilight interrupted.

"Maybe we will." Jo-Cher answered as she looked at her "nails".

Twilight didn't like this Jo-Cher gal but realized something.

"How did you get in here?"

"Exsqueeze me?" She looked up.

"How did you get into the facility and not get caught?" Twilight elaborated.

Jo-Cher was silent for a minute.

"My cloaking device can be useful when it comes to being sneaky." She started dancing around with her humming being her music.

Twilight eyed her suspiciously despite her happy mood.

As Jo-Cher hopped around Twilight walked up to Surf.

"I don't trust this girl."

Surf gave her a weird look.

"And what's your reason to not trust?" He questioned as he crossed his arms.

"She's just soo… optimistic. It's unnatural!" She saw Jo-Cher from the corner of her vision do a twirl in mid air as she continued humming.

"She's always like this though." He stated.

"But as if she has a cloaking device." She gave a look at the dancing hedgehog.

"Oh she does! I've seen her use it many time… for my pain…" Surf had flashbacks of the start of The Fight of Discovery to the apple incident. He shuddered.

"But still, there's something off about her… as if she's hiding something… something bad."

"Well I trust her completely." Surf said as he had his hands behind his back.

"And what's your reason to trust." Twilight countered.

"She tried to save me before I was taken. She ended up getting bitten by that cobra though and I thought she died! But lookie, she's right there." He gestured to Jo-Cher who stopped her dancing and was playing with her knife now.

"And she won't TELL ME HOW SHE LIVED!" He yelled directly at her.

She looked up with innocent eyes which quickly turned to eyes of insanity.

"Haven't you heard the saying? Curiosity killed the cat." Jo-Cher started sneaking up to Surf.

"Well if you haven't noticed, I'm not a cat." Surf smirked.

She stopped a stood straight.

"You're getting better, Surf." She swept up to him and patted his head as if he was a dog.

However, as he swiped the hand away he noticed something peculiar.

"What-is-that."

Jo-Cher was quite confused.

"What is what?"

"THAT, ON YOUR FACE!" Surf started freaking out and grabbed his ears.

Jo-Cher's face was completely green and showed a frown.

"…. THIS IS MY FACE!" She yelled at him.

…

"Ooooooohhh…" Surf felt stupid.

Jo-Cher glared and crossed her arms as she turned a bit away, still glaring at Surf.

"That was stupid even for you Surf." She scoffed.

"Well sooowrrryyyy! I've never really seen your face because of that make-up you always wear!" Surf snapped.

"Excuses, excuses!" Jo-Cher snapped back.

They turned their backs on each other and huffed.

Twilight just looked at the two thinking them of an elderly couple when she heard the sound of an intercom turning on. All of them had their ears perk up to hear the voice of a familiar enemy.

"I mussst congratulate all of you on finding a way to get into the main sssector of our facssility."

Surf and Jo-Cher frowned and Twilight growled. Even the bird seemed to be mad at the voice by the way it did multiple chirps in a low voice.

"Now don't be ssso hossstile, after all the hossspitality I've given."

"HOSPITALITY?!" Surf exclaimed.

"That's some crappy hospitality then." Twilight stated.

They heard the cobra snickering to himself.

"Ahh, but that wass the bessst hosspitality I could have given to prisonersss." The cobra added.

Surf "Hmpt"ed and Jo-Cher glared at the ceiling.

"Since you're on the intercom talking to us, I'm guessing you know where we are." Twilight looked around to see if she could see any cameras.

"Ah yesss, I ssee you ssstanding in the little corridor with my men sscatered around, completely ussselesss." He reassured in a stern voice near the end.

That one agent who was stuck to the wall looked sad from his boss's comment.

Jo-Cher noticed the agent and figured something.

"How come those quills haven't exploded yet?"

"Oh, I was hoping for it not to when I threw it and I guess it… didn't." Surf rubbed the back of his head with a confused face.

Suddenly the main hallway that they all came in from was cut off by a sort of clear blue force field.

"HEY!" Surf ran up to the blue wall and looked up, down, and all around it. He frowned and readied himself to punch it.

"Surf, don't!" Jo-Cher caught his hand before he punched the wall.
"Why?"

Jo-Cher didn't say anything but went into her sleeve and pulled out a pebble. She tossed it at the wall and on contact the pebble incinerated into a white dust.

"Jeeezzz that would have looked ugly." Surf said as he backed away from the wall.

After giving the wall one more look, Surf walked a little way off to see if there was anything to shut down the force field.

Twilight became even more suspicious with Jo-Cher.

"And how exactly did you know that would happen." She walked up to her.

"Dude, I work for an organization that's against this one. Of course there's going to be some fighting between them. And in some of those wars, there was that." She gestured to the blue, water like wall.

Twilight looked at her for another minute.

"I got my eye on you." She warned.

"And I got my eye on yooou!" Jo-Cher went all happy again and poked the top of Twilight's head.

"Don't touch me!" She yelled at Jo-Cher but Jo-Cher wasn't fazed from the yelling.

She only skipped off to Surf's side with Twilight rubbing the top of her head. She still had her scythe on her shoulder with the blue bird perched atop. She looked at the bird and the bird looked at her with a cocked head.

"Do you trust her?" She asked the bird.

The bird did a small shrill and flew off to the direction the other two went, leaving Twilight by herself.

…

"Now it's me talking to animals." Twilight face palmed and slumped over to where everyone gathered.

That darn cobra is such a snake *Awesome/epic face*

I won't be really saying how Jo-Cher survived the poison since I'm going to let you, the readers, guess.

The bolded part of the story was a hint to how she did LIVVVEEDD and I won't be announcing how she really did til later on.

Good luck with your guesses =P

(And no it wasn't really pandas XP)
