Linda saw the grin on her furry face fade, as they were workijg on their project, about family makijg her understand, because that was a touchy thing for Shocket, knowing that Rocket had explained to Sif about this, seeing Casey confused about why her cousin seeing her sigh at this, so would explain to her, at recess seeing Shocketlost in thought doing worksheets makimg Linda understand seeing Shocket curiois seeing plant pots, making Sif grin.
"You'll find out after recess, but you'll like it." she whispered.
"Sweet, I think I knoe what it is." Shocket replied.
Linda wonderedwhat her best pal and soulmTe hadfigured oit, so Casey was curious, about what Shocket had figured out, hearingthe recess bell ringing, so the kids were going outside into the playground so Linda was showing Shocket how a magnifying glass worked makimg things look bigger, goofing around, seeing Scott stop them, from causing mischief, making Linda guess hewas right, promising notto fry any ants with it.
Back in class, the kids were excited about growing trees, only Shocket had a feeling they weren't normal ones, they were Groots, impressing Sif realising Shocket'sdad was theGroot expert, seeing her and Linda fist-bump, surprised theseeds came from a female Groot on campus, as the only Groot that anybody knew wasRocket's one, seeing Linda excited, there wasa mystery on herfirst day.
"Yeah, I wantto meet her, are you sure you can find her?" Casey asked seeing Linda nod.
"I am groot, I am groot." they heard a soft voicesay coming from the pipes, seeing Casey, Linda and Shocket exchange a look, guessing they could ask Rocket, he might know about this female Groot seeing him tending to it, impressing them, despite it being Hulked out making him understand, knowing that they hadrecievedGroot seeds, so guessedthey should know.
"This isMira, andyes, she'sa female Groot, she used to bea tree until gamma waste leaked on her, transforming her into a Hulk Groot only Iam theonly onewho knows about her, besides DrBan er as she makes methink of Groot." heexplained giving Shocket one of her crazy ideas, asking why her dad'sGroot couldn't come here, if Mira was his kind, seeing Rocketagree, hearing Lindas's watch beep, as she haddetective class, seeing Shocket hug her, seeing her leave.

"This isuncleRockford, he lives in Japan, where humans respect our kind, he drops in a lot." Rocket told her.
She was unaware that the prince of Mischief, Loki was there causing mischief, turning Rocket imto a little kit, making both Mira and Shocket freak out, seeing him scared, hiding under his desk.
"Don't be scared dad, it's me, Shocket, I think something happened, let's go." she told him after she and Mira had gotten him to come out, guessing Dr Banner or Ms Sif alomg with Ms Danvers could help, he looked cute being her age, stunning the kids in their class including Ms Sif, saying it was a spell that might last a few days, impressing Shocket, seeing Linda just as surprised, hearing Loki was here, so they had to stay in class until he was gone, in case the prince of Mischief spelled anybody else.
"It's okay Rockie, the grown-ups know what to do, this is Linda my soulmate." Shocket said to him, seeing the class goijg beserk because of the situation, plus they would have to tell Howard, bringing an aged-down Rocket home, until the spell wore off, seeing him quiet guessimg everything was overwhelming, seeing Galacta join them, feelimg hungry, annoyed that Loki was ruining things, feeling Shocket hug her, knowing she was craving her kumk food, hearing it was safe.
"Thank Groot, come on let's get lunch." Shocket said.

" That's a relief, hey, he's eating the beans sandwiches we didn't eat, is that a good thijg?" Linda said.
"I guess, it's not gonna hurt him, just whatever happens when we eat it." Shocket told her.
They were doing homework, relieving Howard that they had taken Rocketwith them, hoping whateverLoki had did wouldwear off andhis bestfriend would go back to hisnormal self, knowing Shocketwas becomingattached to thegrown-downversion of her dad letting things be, hearing laughter from Linda andShocket's room, realising theyhadgiven Rocketbeans, guessing hisfriend mighthavea point, aboutgiving them beansa lot.
"This is what happens when we have beans, it's why my dad gets ureal food, or we trade it with Galla." Shocket told him.
Howard sighed at this, letting them be, but he smirked later that night, seeing the aged-down Rocket sleeping on Linda and Shocket's bed, letting them be for now, going to sleep plus he had a case in the morning knowing they would be alright, going to his room but the next morning, he heard Linda, little Rocket and Shocket awake having breakfast, as they had school and the abe-regressed Rocket was goimg with them, knowing they were helping him, remembering when the phoenix gave him a second chance at being young.
"Come on, Rockie, we have to go." Shocket told him.
Howard chuckled seeing them leaving the apartment, plus Shocket was holding the flowerpot that had had her Groot in it, which she had named Gaia after Sif had told her class a story about Gaia which inspired her, makimg Linda smile plus she noticed her soulmate had slept well noticing her mood, feeling that would last when her dad grew up again, arriving at Avengers Campus seeing Casey and Crystal in their armoured outfits, saying that there would be a sleepover in a coupleof nights, makijg Shocket feel anxious.
"Don't worry about it, alright?" Linda whispered to her.
"Why does it upset her?" Rocket asked her.
"She doesn't sleep good, alright?" Linda said.
Casey sighed handing out invitations with Crystal, as she was Shocket's half-sister since Rocket had found and raised her as a baby before finding out about Shocket, so hoped that Shocket would come to the slumber party, feelimg Crystal's magenta-furred hand on her shoulder before going to class, like Linda and Shocket alomg with young Rocket.
