Got the title idea from Orange. (Thanks!)

Many pairs of translucent orange and green eyes watched as the tall human figure walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him. “...is he gone?” someone asked. Many pairs of translucent eyes flicked in the voice’s direction, glaring.
“Shut up! He might hear you!” A voice whispered urgently.
Many minutes of silence passed slowly, all ears in horror at the prospect of their owner walking back in to see what he shouldn’t. Nothing happened.
From the top of the bookshelf, a form dropped, and grabbed the edge of one of the lower shelves. The small cat-like Zoid tilted his head, listening. He could hear footsteps on the stairs. “Oh, no... Move over! I need to hide!”
The white and blue liger tucked himself into the gap between two of his bigger cousins, just when the door swung open, and the human walked in, muttered a curse, grabbed a set of keys and walked back out, shutting the door once more.
Sam (LB Murasame Liger) released a non-existent sigh and stepped out once again. “I hope he doesn’t come back. My core can’t take another surprise, thanks to that stupid Bio.” He said, glaring up at the Bio Megaraptor on a shelf on the opposite side of the room.
“Murasame!” shouted a voice. He froze, and slowly turned in the direction of the voice, only to find Saber Tiger staring down at him, fury in his green eyes.
“Eep! S-Saber Tiger!” Sam said, ducking behind Shield Liger. Shieldy grumbled and rolled his… canopy, eliciting laughter from the idiots by the edge of the shelf. “Oh, shut it, you nitwits.” He growled. The smaller zoids immediately went silent.
“Get out from behind him, Murasame.” snarled Saber Tiger.
Sam crept out, head held low. “Y-yes…?”
“You almost blew our cover, you idiot!” Saber Tiger growled, baring his fangs. He lifted a metal paw, ready to swat Sam off of the shelf.
Shieldy stepped forward, standing between Saber Tiger and Sam. “Cut it out, Saber Tiger. You know he’s easily excited.” Shieldy grumbled. “Get going …”
Sam sighed with relief as Saber Tiger stomped angrily back to his side of the shelf. “Thanks, Shieldy.”
“Whatever, kid. Give him some time to cool down. He’s one of the originals. Been stuck in a box for almost twenty years.”
“Okay!” the little Neo Blox replied, trotting off to the opposite side of the shelf from Saber Tiger.
“I hate the name Sheildy…”
On the other side of the room, the odd bone-like form of Bio Megaraptor paced angrily. “When I get my claws on that pitiful excuse for a Zoid...”
“Plotting more evil, oh fiddly one?” Asked an orange painted tyrannosaurus Zoid, looking over from poking at a Storch, which was flapping its wings angrily. The Storch pulled herself out from under Orange’s claw and fell from the ledge, landing in a pile of discombobulated Stikfas. “Wait ‘til I find the spork, Orange. Just wait.”
The orange Berserk Fury just grinned down at her friend.
“Dysfunctional dimwits.” grumbled the larger raptor zoid, stomping off angrily. A small group of Bio Raptors and Bio Raptor Guis trotted, or glided, in the case of the Guis, after him like good little fanboys.
Sam bounced from his shelf onto the TV stand, and looked around, only to have a pair or orange eyes meet his gaze. “Hiii!!!”
Sam jumped back in surprise. “Wha?!”
An oddly-familiar looking zoid stood in front of him, tail wagging happily. Something about the white liger was different. He was much smaller than usual. “I’m Zero!” he bounced as he talked, his voice like a young child’s.
Sam sweat-dropped (Well, he would if this were anime...). “Uh... that’s nice... I’m Sam.”
The small KFM Liger Zero bounced in a circle around the white and blue NeoBlox. “I’m new here! Yay! This place is so much fun!” he exclaimed, little tail wagging back and forth with excitement.
The slightly smaller liger tilted his head. “Hey, wanna be friends? Most of the larger guys don’t like us smaller ones...”
The black and white liger positively radiated joy. “Of course!!” he bounced happily, bumping into a black object on the TV stand with the.
“Look out, the sword stand!!” Sam said, jumping forward to steady the precariously teetering decoration. He let out a sigh of relief as it balanced itself.
Zero blinked, staring up at the three weapons on the wooden stand. “Whoa... those put your sword to shame!”
“Thank you for pointing that out,” he muttered, head hung low. “Oh! A bit of warning. Stay away from the top of that shelf over there!”
He motioned with a paw at a shelf across from his own. “It’s full of mean Bio Zoids and evil people like Genobreaker.”
“I see.” Zero blinked. He looked over at Sam’s own shelf. “Oooooh! Can we go meet people?!”
“Sure!” Sam said, hoping back onto the shelf. Zero followed, having a harder time getting on due to weight (He IS the KFM Liger Zero afterall.).
“Oh, great. More little annoyances.”
Saber Tiger stood nearby, glaring down at him.
“HI! Are you one of Sam’s friends?” Zero asked, his head tilted at an angle. Sam inched backwards, nudging Zero. “What?” He asked, turning to look at Sam.
“Ixnay on the Riendsfay.”
“What? Ixnay? What’s that?” Zero blinked in confusion. Sam hit his head with a paw.
“Oh, never mind. Just leave Saber Tiger alone,” he said, then lowered his voice, “he’s kinda... grumpy 24/7.” Zero “ohhhhhh”ed and looked back at Saber Tiger.
“Oh, err, never mind!”
Sam and Zero trotted off to the other side of the shelf.
