"Yes, it's today, it's today!" a young voice said excitedly, belonging to Kari as a few years had passed so now she had grown from an infant into a very active and happy yet healthy three year old who loved being with her awesome dad, her aunts and uncles so was getting ready.
Today was the brown-red furred female's first ever day of school, and she was super excited because all summer long, her dad along with her favourite aunt, Carol had been helping her get ready for school, besides getting her supplies, as she was going to pre-school in New Asgard which had been Thor's idea which Rocket was alright with comparedto sending her to schoolOn.
"I know it's your first day sweetie, but good you're getting ready, like a big kit." Rocket said, as he had came to check on Kari, impressed she was up and ready so was going to the main kitchens in the compound, so was making her breakfast, but also her lunch knowing what his little one liked to eat, adding snacks impressing Thor at his friend's parenting skills knowing Kari had one ajor obstaxle, to speak Asgardian, making Rocket frantic.
"Whoa Captain Rabbit, I have a plan, as you temd to say." he responded making Rocket curious, at what Thor was up to, seeing Kari there dressed in her favourite shikrt which which had the Guardians of the Galaxy emblem on it, but wearing shorts, hugging him and Thor but had her backpack which was purple sitting at the table eating fast making Rocket chuckle, while drinking coffee, seeing Thor whispering something, pointing at Kari.
"I just did something, to help your little bunny with that problem." he said to Rocket makimg him get it, guessing Thor ad put an enchantment on her, guessing she would be able to speak Asgardian like how Rocket was teaching her to speak Groot, since her uncle was now a sapling again which made her think of him as her little brother.
"Whoa kiddo, slow down, school's not going anywhere." Rocket said to Kari.
"Sorry daddy, I'm just excited about that." she replied taking slower bites.
Carol was relieved that things eerd going well, making Rocket sigh, hoping she would not get mad at what he had packed for Kari's lunch, as Kari had already put it in her backpack, along with her stuffed bunny for naptime, which they got seeing Rocket nervous.y drinking coffee making the others get it, so would calm him down after he dropped Kari off at school, activating his ship, making Kari excitable, makimg tne others chuckle.
"Captain Rabbit is very stressed this morning, maybe Kari can calm him down." Thor said to them.
"Daddy you alright, you look scared about something?" Kari asked her dad, as she and Rocket were in his ship, headed to New Asgard where Kari's pre-school was plus last night, Rocket had trouble sleeping because of today, not wanting to make her anxious.
"A little as you starting school is a big deal, and daddy is just being stupid." Rocket said feeling her squeeze his paw gently.
"It's okay to be scared, like what you told me, remember?" Kari said to him, making him relax a little making Kari relieved, because she had sensed he was nervous making her happy because she cared about her dad a lot making a grin cross Rocket's furry face while they were talking, until hearing Kari ask, if the other kids would like her made a frown replace it wanting to reassure her.
"They will, you're very sweet, friendly, kind, creative among other things, so don't worry about it, and if some kids don't wanna be friends, it's tneir loss." he told her seeing the anxiety on her furry face melt away, relieving him.
She then realised that they were here, making Rocket chuckle, at her renewed excitement, ashe landed the ship outside the school seeing Kari unbuckle erself out of her seat, grabbing her backpack, making Rocket chuckle at her impatience.
"You're about to embark on an adventure, and I don't get a hug?" Rocket asked her.
"Of course I wanna give hou a hug!" Kari replied hugging him tight, making him choked up watching her leave the ship, wiping proud tears away leaving returning to the Avengers compound, making the others wonder, if he was alright, along with how Kari did when he dropped her off at school.
"She was helping me feel better, plus she did good and made me proud." Rocket said wiping a tear away stunning Carol guessing that he was choked up about Kari, letting him be, and saw im going to the tech-lab which was his comfort zone.
