Rocket grinned, as he remembered that today was the anniversary of when he and Groot had first met, but was going to Terra, which was Starlord's planet and was getting his infant buddy cake but also got gifts for him, so had told Mantis to keep an eye on Groot, while he was gone because he did not want to ruin things for him.
"Buddy, I have a secret mission to go on, but annoy the otjers until I get back, alright?" Rocket told him, leaving in a ship from the Milano as Baby Groot looked annoyed because he and Rocket always did stuff together, so Mantis could feel his anger making her worried since she was still new to the group, remembering one of her powers.
"Please cheer up little Groot, your buddy will be back soon." she said to him.
"Whoa, I know Yoj want to help, but don't try to alter his mood!" Gimora said.
They saw him go off guessing he was looking for something, making them guess that the treelike infant wanted music, since he loved music so loved listening to a certain Walkman so he could dance to it.
"Yeah, dancing should help him cool down, but he wanted to go with Rocket, unaware of what he was doing but Starlord saw him wearing his headphones, and music was blasting out of them but Baby Groot was dancing his butt off which was very cute like the time they were fighting that giant monster, and had been listening to Mr Blue Sky.
"What is Rocket doing, or where did he go?" Drax asked him, making Starlord grin.
"It's to do with his and Groot's friendship, that was all he told me." Starlord told him.
"Oh, but we should see what he's up to, right?" Gimora asked, seeing Starlord shake his head.
Later after a while, Rocket returned with things making the others curious, since there was cake making them curious, wondering where the heck he had been, plus they were surprised that he had been on Terra, Starlord's planet surprising Starlord seeing Baby Groot sleepy making Rocket grin, guessing his best friend had been dancing.
"Yeah, he was upset after you left, because he wanted to go with you." Gimora heard Starlord tell him.
Rocket chuckled as he knew his friend needed an nap, plus he could set up in their room, putting him down for an nap and was setting up things because he wanted to hang out with his friend, hoping that he would like it.
