Chapter Text

Rocket smiled as he left Gamora's class. He thought,' it was to bad the idiot was not smart enough to know better.'. As he spotted Groot sitting by the water fountain.

Rocket approached Groot before asking," What is wrong, buddy?"

Groot answered, "I am Groot." 'How am I to teach about the loveliness of nature thru holographic imagery. You can not smell the flowery scent on the wind or the feel of the water as it flows over your bare feet. Nor can you enjoy the beauty that is the sunrise or the magnificent magnitude that is the night sky.'

Rocket glanced at Groot and immediately thought of a solution before replying," I have an idea but first we need to find, George."

Groot asked, "I am groot?"

Rocket answered," The nitwit that gave us all those stupid test."

Groot replied," I am groot" 'so where do you think he is currently at."

Rocket smirked and answered," most likely the officers lounge.". before heading towards the lounge.

Groot loved it when Rocket smirked, that meant he had a devious idea to work out the problem

Rocket and Groot entered the officers lounge, one quick glare took the bartender out (he heard what Rocket did to the recruits) before heading over to George's table.

George seeing Rocket asked," What do you want, Rocket?"

Rocket answered, " I need you to allow Groot to take his class on a field excursion."

George replied, "He can use the holographic projector. It is as good as being outdoors itself."

Rocket spotted The head of Computers and junk sitting at the next table before saying," Than at least allow me access to the main computer, so I can make it more realistic."

Groot asked," I am Groot" 'what are you doing rocket?'

Rocket answered," Trust me Groot, when I am done it will be really like being in the outdoor."

Groot caught the code before sadly saying." I am groot" which was his way to telling Rocket he knew it was part of Rocket's plan.

George replied," I will get you clearance to get into the main computer."

Phelph had heard enough before tunring around and saying," There is no way that you are going to allow Rocket amywhere near the main computer. He is a hacker."

George replied," Sir, I will keep an eye on him and will not let him do anything outside the holographic nature scene."

Phelph said," Under no circumstances are you going to let Rocket near the main computer. He could install a program while he is reprogramming the nature holo."

Rocket innocently replied," I would never do anything like that."

Phelph snarled at Rocket before saying," We will find the door you use to erase your hacking a couple of nights ago. Ben saw how fast you can type and from personal experience, I know your an excellent hacker. So your not getting to the main computer."

George replied," You heard him, Rocket. There is no way your getting to the main computer and I am not allowing you to take the recruits off base."

Rocket turned to Groot before saying, " Well Groot, I guess, your going to have to put an unfinished volunteer requisition for the entire current recruits. I am sure they will not mind redoing the entire past few semesters over."

George replied," Rocket, you can't do that."

Rocket smirked before saying, "I might not be able to but Groot can. So the recruits will have to redo a few semesters, it should not be that big of a problem."

George replied." You win, I will get Nova Prime to permit your entrance into the main computer."

Phelph was not going to allow that and quickly called Nova Prime and explained the situation to her before saying, "George, Someone is on the phone for you." and putting the phone on speaker.

George said," Hello." Not sure who Phelph had called.

Nova Prime immediately said, "Phelph is right. You are not to allow Rocket anywhere near the main computer. You are going to have to allow Groot to take his classroom out onto a field trip."

George replied," But Nova Prime there is no way I can keep an eye on all the recruits and Groot and Rocket."

Rocket asked, "Why not let Sargent Mary Sweet co-chaperone the outing?"

Nova Prime replied," Than it is settled George and Mary will chaperone the outing." before hanging up.

Phelph said, "Sorry George but I have more than enough to do without letting Rocket anywhere near the main computer."

Rocket turned to Groot before saying," Buddy, you have got your excursion."

Groot asked," I am Groot?" 'rocket are you coming along.'

Rocket replied," Would not miss it." before turning to George ands saying," Have the recruits ready and transportation ready."

George glared at Rocket before getting on his hand phone and notifying the recruits and Mary.

Rocket said," While we all get ready, don't forget we need transportation to the area." before leaving with Groot
