"Whoa, somebody left a package for you, what do tou think it is?" Linda said.
"I don't know, but it has to be something cool, so let's find out, alright?" Shocket said.
It was the weekend and Howard had left for some case, but both youngsters haddiscovered somebody hadleft a package for Shocket which was surprising since they did not get much mail, opening it excitedly, seeing Shocket's eyes widen as it was a rocket-pack that was purple matching the co,our of Shocket's mohawk, making Lindasurprised, that Rocket hadgiven herone, despite the fact she might takeup hismant,le someday, seeing a huge grin on Shocket's furry face, her whiskers twitching in excitement.
"Let's take her fora spin, eh?" Shocket said pumped up, making Linda gulp.
She wasn'tsure that Shocket shoulduse it, until she learnt to use it, like her dad did seeing her sigh, guessing she sensedshe wasnervous, feeling hungry since they did not have breakfast, doing this, hearing Shocket excited while eating messily which Linda found cute, handing her an napkin hearing her giggle kissing her despite having morning breath which the femaleduckling pointed out.
"Sorry Ducky I forgot, plus the surprise made meexcited, alright?" Shocket said.
Linda saw her getting ready, putting therocket-pack on, looking in the mirror, grinning with pride as shelooked awesome just like her dad letting her imagination run wild giggling taking off when outside, despite Linda covering her eyes, she did not want anything to happen to her Shocket, hearing her laughing, seeing her doing loops, impressing her alomg with Rocket.
"I see somebody got her rocket-pack, and having a blast, eh?" he said.
"Yes but I get worried, in case she gets hurt, you know?" she said.
Rocket understood thefemaleducklings'sanxiety but Shocket was his kit, so he knew she was okay, he would never put her in danger or in harm's way only he was anxious about her meeting Lylla, since he had told her about Shocket which made her excited, oneof the reasons he had given Shocket her roctet-pack which Linda thought a good idea, but she could help Shocket.
"Lyllas's ship is arriving soon at the campus, let's go." he toldthem.
Shocket was feelijg anxious about Lylla as herdad talkedaboit hera lot, makimg Limda understand, going with hersoulmate for moral support, giving the female kit an idea, scooping Limda up gently, activating her rocket-pack taking off following her dad andat firstLinda wasnervous realising thatShocket would not drop her, enjoying it, hearing Shocket giggle which made her heart skip a beat likealways landing at thecampus.
"Aww we almost beat my dad here!" Shocket said.
"You got us here, maybe we can getto school like that." Limda said.
That put thesmirk back on Shocket'sfurry face but itfaded, seeing Lylla, hearing her dad calling her over, making Linda stunned, it wasan otter and not a femaleraccoon, making Lylla smirk at her thinking, noticing Shocket wasquiet, veryquiet making Linda guess her soulmate washaving a quiet meltdown, understanding this wasa lot to take in, knowing shecould help Shocketseeing Rocketunderstand, impressed shewas not yelling or hissing.
"I got this uncle, you and Lylla catchup." Linda said.
"Okay, but I had a feeling this wouldhappen." he said.
Linda guessed that was why Rocket had given Shocket her rocket-pack, be ause itwould distract her, when Lylla showed up seeing Rocket nodding at her logic, wanting to talk to Shocket, onceshe felt calm enough, seeing Shocket saying to Linda they shouldgo, making Linda understand hersoulmate didn't wantto meet her dad's soulmateandstep-mom, giving thefemaleduckling an idea, as Galacta wasprobably here.
"I guess we can go say hey, she always has goodsnacks." Shocket replied wiping tears away with her paw.
"Atta girl, let's forgetabout Lylla, havesome fun with friends." Limda said.
Rocket wassurprised seeing them run off, guessing introducing Shocket to Lyllawould have to wait, guessing they were hanging out with a frKendall, probably Galacta leaving them be, hearing Lylla suggest theyhavedinner together, which Rocket,oved thesound .
Shocket smirked as she, Galacta and Linda were in Galactas's room, hanging out, playing video games which was making herfeel better about!ylla which Linda understood, at least shewas feelijg better, seeing a text from Shocket's dadsaying about the dinneridea which made the femalekit growl, surprising Galacta, asking ifeverything was okay, hearing Shockettelling her which she understood giving Limda an idea, telling her, she would feel weird, seeing her dad with his dates, until he hadexplained they made him happy, like they madeeach otherhappy, seeing her in thought.
"You havea point, Ducky, she makes him happy, I just don't know." Shocket said.
"Hey itwill bealright, besides I'll bethere too, let's just try." Linda replied.
Shocketnoddedreplyingto her dad, taking a deep breath, relieving Linda, leaving theirfriends's dorm room, feeling itchy which wasstrange shrugging itoff, going after Shocket who was usingherrocket-pack beingfast when she used it, like herdad meaning shecouldtake his mantle one day, seeing her joiningher dad despitebeing shy around Lylla until Lindajoinedthem, scratching a little, which Shocketthought cute, asking her if shewas alright, astounding Lylla, that herstep-kit could talk.
