"Go long, Shocket, we're winnijg!" Ranger said.
It was Thanksgiving mornijg, so Ranger, Riley along with Lylla, Casey and Shocket were havijg their annual football game with the girls as one team, with Ranger and Rocket as a team but Riley's team winning, fist-bumping makijg Rocket smirk, watching them celebrating which was cute, knowing that they were going to stuff their faces at the Thanksgiving dinner, meaning that Shocket might have fun like right now, it was good hearing her laughijg.
"Good game, you guys played hard." Riley said to him and Ranger.
Shocket seeing cookies made her think of Linda, as her feathery soulmate had a cookie addiction like Howard with cheese making Rocket surprised, that Howard loved cheese which was intresting for a duck that evolved ijto a human from an alternate Earth impressing Shocket, she never knew this about Howard seeing Rocket nod,mas he knew she was wantijg to be with Linda, knowing today was about family and all the thijgs to be grateful for, inviting Linda and Howard for Thanksgivijg dinner seeing Riley inviting Zora too, which made her happy too, she wanted to introduce her to them.
"Shockie's goijg to be happy, like playing football, you know?" Lylla said seeing Rocket agreeing.
After a while, they were returning to the apartment building, that was home to them, seeing Shocket crashing on the couch stunned hearing she had her own room here, goijg there, gettijg onto her double-bed snuggling Quacker falling asleep, after Rocket kissed her nose makijg Riley grin, watching from the doorway, hoping her niece would sleep well, recharge her batteries leavijg her be, closing the door gently, so nobody would awaken her, seeing as she had an exciting morning, hearing Linda ask, where Shocket was, hearing her uncle saying Shocket was taking an nap as football had worn her out.
"Woah, she played sports without goijg into assasin mode?" Lijda asked.
"Yep, she led her team to victory, Ducky." Rocket said smirking.
"Only Shockie can call me that!" Limda replied blushing.
He heard Howard excited there was a cheeseboard, as part of the desserts, makijg Lijda shake her feathery head at her dad, hopijg Shocket was alright, she felt bad that she had not seen her, since her grandparents had visited, giving Howard an idea since he and his parents wanted some alone-time, to catch up, that Linda could sleep over, knowing Shocket would be happy, guessing she liked her which Ranger was football now from what Rocket had told hI'm, and she was bonding with Ranger and Riley, which made Howard anxious about that.
"She still loves being with you and Linda, trust me." Rocket reassured him.
Riley got excited as Zora was here, hugging her, which Ranger was curious about, only Rocket understood what was goijg on with Riley and her friend, as it was very swet, seeing Zora had brought food and fortune cookies, makijg them excited yet grateful seeing the shy female raccoon nod.
"You're welcome, as Riley said it was a pot-luck." she said seeing Riley smirk.
"Zora can come over, especially if she brings food!" Ranger said.
"Like we told the kids, we have to wait, alright?" Lylla said.
"Tell your pretty lady to chill." Ranger told Rocket.
"Sorry, she has her mind made up." Rocket said.
Thankfully after everything was ready, and Shocket had awoken from her nap, the Thanksgiving meal was ready as everybody gathered around the tables, the adults at one, Casey, Limda and Shocket at another talkijg, laughing and enjoying company besides eating giving the kids a crazy idea, a dessert-eating contest, which Shocket thought brillant, as she, Casey and Lijda were doijg that, unaware their dads were watching, amused knowing Linda and Shocket would be sleepy, besides getting cute lookijg after all that food hearing loud belching.
"That was awesome, you guys are crazy but awesome!" Rocket said.
Linda heard Shocket yawnijg guessing they were goijg to have food naps, seeing the couch tip over, makijg a fort which Howard and Rocket found adorable, seeing them conk out, plus would give them leftovers of dessert later, to fuel their energy wrapping a blanket around them gently knowing nothing could wake them right now.
"Whoa, we slept through Thanksgiving!" Shocket said to Linda, makijg Rocket chuckle as it was now midnight so his kit was right, guessijg they could have a midnight feast as there was fruitcake that had to be gotten rid of, that stuff was toxic.
"Awesome, more fruitcake for me!" Casey said eating which surprised Rocket, knowing she was getting holiday weight too hearijg her giggling makijg Shocket share a look with her dad and Lijda.
"That stuff might mess her up, if it's toxic!" Shocket said.
"I'm okay, it's not goijg to hurt me!" Casey said to her.
"I guess and we did need it gone, so good job, sweetie." Rocket said to Casey seeing her sleepy, going to the bathroom, relieving Shocket as she and Lijda were havijg a midnight-feast, which was like the late-night birthday party Shocket had given Lijda makijg the female duckling grin at the memory, surprised her soulmate remembered.
