Author's Note: There was a scene in my MLP story 'Jealousy and obsession that I thought would be good for this story, as long as I edited some parts. I like the idea of Rocket being the submissive one in the relationship, though I know that that's against his character so I debated for a bit about how I would approach the concept. Then, I had the idea of a character who could tame Rocket. A character whom Rocket was so attracted to that he would allow himself to be the 'pet' in the relationship. Then I got the idea of Peter being jealous and this story came to mind. Everyone is out-of-character in this chapter because they're in an alternate universe, as well as because the relationship that Rocket has developed with the now-teenaged Gamora has altered all of the characters involved to some degree. In the next chapter both Peter and Rocket will the irony of me writing a story and making preparations to brutally murder the characters in it while the characters are having a conversation about a theoretical benevolent narrator is god good of an opportunity to pass up.


"…And they all lived happily ever after." Gamora read out loud to the modified-raccoon who was currently resting his head on the lap of the teenaged girl as they sat together on one of the three couches in the school's library. The raccoon smiled at his friend as she closed the book and gently placed it on a small table located near the end of the couch.

"I think that's the best way to end a story." Rocket said with a smile on his face as Gamora started to gently run her fingers through her friend's fur. "It feels nice knowing that the characters you've grown attached to in the story will continue to live happy lives after the story is finished." Rocket said as he allowed the silent rhythm of Gamora's fingers and the body heat in her lap to send her into a state of relaxation.

"I agree that it's a pretty good way to end a story." Gamora said with a hint of drowsiness in her voice that seemed to mimic the way that Rocket was feeling at the moment. "Everything works out well for the main characters and the reader usually learns a valuable lesson at the end of the story." Gamora said with a smile before opening up her mouth and letting loose a small yawn. Seeing the older girl yawn made Rocket yawn as well, which had the unfortunate side-effect of making her feel more tired than she already was.

"Sometimes I think that the world would be a much better place if everybody had a narrator who could make us all live happily ever after." Rocket said with a dreamy smile on his face as his imagination started to paint a picture of the world he was envisioning. Gamora smiled at the cute little slightly-psychotic raccoon and leaned forward to give him a small kiss on his forehead before whispering into his ear.

"If I could be your narrator I would." Gamora whispered into the raccoon's ear, causing him to blush beneath his fur.

"But I would much rather be the author of your book, because then I could make sure that you get to have the one thing that a pure-hearted creature deserves." Gamora said with a smile that was sleepily returned by a near-sleeping Rocket Raccoon.

What do you think I deserve?" Rocket asked, causing Gamora to smile as she leaned in towards the raccoon for a second time to whisper into his ear.

"Love." GamorA said, before laying a gentle kiss upon the forehead of the now sleeping raccoon.
