"What do you think of my resume, Ducky, great or what." Shocket asked fired up.
It was early-evening in their part of the apartment and Shocket was filling in her application for Harvard but writing her resume and adding things that were truthful seeing Linda checking it, her eyes wide smirkijg at some of the things Shocket had written knowing the admissions board of Harvard would be amused by her soulmate's resune and essay deciding not to correct her seeing Rocket also reading it bursting out laughing seeing Shocket grin at him.
"Yep it's great sweetie, and know you're trying hard with this thing." he told her.
"Yeah, maybe, just maybe they'd want somebody like me and if they don't, there's other ways to follow Ducky to Harvard." Shocket replied grinning like a Guardian making Rocket guess what she meant by her words, she was his kit after all.
"Oh yeah the admission board will have a field-day, with yours not being the typical applicant." he told her high-fiving her knowing she was pretty strong but being careful not to hurt her dad plus wanted to dance with Linda at the graduation ball and wanted to wear a tux which Rocket found sweet guessing his story of how he and Gamora had gotten married, had inspired her but she had gotten Linda a gift with the momey in the swear jar, realising it wasn't bad as she thought if it helped her get Linda a gift for graduation seeing Rocket nod knowing how much his lil troublemaker loved Linda to the point whereshe wanted to actually try college so would help her however he could knowing Emily would be at community college as sleepaway college might be too stressful for her.
"Yeah let's take a break and have a snack like ice-cream, I'll send your application for you, your eyes need a break from all that concentration." Linda said to her seeing her putting the application in the envelope taking ut to the mailbox only Rocket sensed Shocket was anxious about this, letting her pick him up in a hug because she was needing comfort because college was a big deal.
" I'm not getting in, but it'sfun to try, plus I get to be a Guardian during the summer." Shocket told him feeling him squeeze her paw gently in reassurance knowing this was a big deal saying not to worty and focus on having fun with Linda seeing her hug him, picking him up being taller than him like Ranger only she wasn't a jerk like Ranger was.
"Just have hope honey, and we're gonna have so much fun over the summer and maybe become a honourary Guardian even if you do get into college." he told her kissing her head before going home hearing Gamora asking, how Shocket was doing excited hearing she was applying for Harvard because Linda was going there which she got giggling hearing about Shocket's essay that she'd sent into the admissions board.
"That's our girl, she's so you despite looking like a super-soldier." she said seeing RJ hug his leg and tail imagning an older version of him.
"Sorry buddy, daddy was side-tracked thinking about Shocket." he told him nuzzlijg him gently making RJ giggle seeing Emily happy he was home chuckling loving his kits were happy to see he was home.
"Owwwww, my tummy hurts, I feel like my tail's growing, my head hurts and I just want chocolate, Ducky help." Shocket whimpered as Linda was packing to go to college for orientation for the weekend so she'd get used to it in the Fall making Linda gulp guessing her soulmate was on her Hulkcoon Week which happened every momth but this time she was prepared putting the things Shocket needed to get through it including lots of clean tail-armour, getting ice-pack strips for her headaches, so would explain to Firestar and Gravity what was going on.
"Awww I think Hulkcoon Week is starting, come over here honey, just lie down." Linda said softly leaving their part of the apartment getting a hot-water bottle coming back putting it on Shocket's growing belly, which was soothing Shocket into sleep making Linda protective of her furry soulmate hearing Howard there kissing Shocket's head grabbing her bag, leaving her varsity jacket seeing a letter for Shocket from Harvard, putting it in her bag because It could be a rejection letter which she might not be ready for it until after Hulkcoon Week ended which Howard got finding it sweet, Linda was protective of Shocket.
"Yeah, but hope uncle Rockie's not mad at me, for that." she told him.
"No, as he knows this could happen and I'll explain." he told her relieving her.
