Answer: Buy your own pens! You cannot borrow ours'!

Explanation: The word "ours" needs an apostrophe because the pens in question are being possessed by the speaker and whoever is in their company! Because there are multiple individuals in question, the apostrophe follows the "S" rather than coming before the "S!"
