"You wanha come to my house, Bree as we could build a snow-fort, or have a major snowball fight as my dad and mom won't mijd." Bree heard Shocket asking the she-Hulk youngster with excitement in her Brooklyn-accented voice which made her sound like her dad a little which all the adults found cute.
It was now the end of the school-day at Avengers Campus so while students stampeded into the chilly, snow covered outside, Bree and Shocket were sitting on the snow-covered steps in theur winter coats, Bree's teal green wearing a purple beanie which hid her shoulder-length hair from view while Shocket wore a puffy purple-jacket with an orange beanie hat over her mohawk but both youngsters were waiting for their dads, Rocket was still in a meeting with the faculty including Dean Carol so Shocket had to wait for him to finish guessing Bree's dad was picking her and Charlie up seeing Charlie working on something in the snow, tapping Bree's shoulder gently wondering what was on her best-friend's mind.
"Ohhh sorry Shocket, I'd love to go to your house and have lots of fun, but my dad has to pick me and Charlie up, hey, he's making a snow-Hulk awesome, let's help until my dad comes." she told Shocket making the female raccoon-cub grin as it was like having a play-date seeing Charlie needed help making Charlie grin that his big sister and ger best friend wanted to help him seeing them nodding saying that Shocket wanted her to come over to her house and play so helping him waa kind of a compromise giggling as Bree was using her she-Hulk strength grinning but frowning hearing the horn of their dad's monster-truck like jeep seeing Charlie grab his backpack racing towards the jeep.
"Shockie are you gonna be okay, until your dad's doje." Bree asked grabbing her bag.
"Cambria Banner, get in the jeep, before you freeze your butt off." Bruce called.
"I think so, you should get going before you get in trouble." Shocket replied hugging her, seeing Bree get in her dad's jeep in the back not caring Charlie was in the front waving out the window at Shocket with her waving back until Hulk's jeep was out of sight sighing, she should've asked or texted hervdad to ask if she could go with Bree to her house remembering her dad was setting up her phone and she had to learn to be phone-smart before she could have it.
When Bree and Charlie got home, they were having hot chocolate and cookies, which was relieving after a full school-day and Bree was excited about the christmas tree hut getting to decorate it later after she finished her homework and they had dinner, she wanted to make sure Shocket was okay as she'd looked sad after she'd hugged her.
"Hey Banners, merry Hulkmas, hehehe." a British-accented voice called out as Emile entered making Bruce and Charlie happy to see him noticing Bree was quiet going to do homework then mayge, she could ask her dad if she could borrow his phone to check on Shocket stunning Emile, normally she was happy to see him and called him UnclecAbomination knowing she was being cute makijg Bruce sense something bothered her looking to Emile as he was good at helping with emotional-problems seeing him hand a sleeping Emlia to him going upstairs just as Jennifer returned with Shocket making Bruce realise, why Bree had been acting so weird.
"Gamora and Rocket had to go pick up some relatives so Shocket's staying here, until they come back." she told Bruce noticing the female-cub was shy arouhd him but then was getting a message from Skarr his son saying he was coming to stay knowing he was shy, introverted unaware Shocket had heard going upstairs' or was about to until Jennifervsaid about a snack.
"Yes pkease, Ms Banner, and guess Bree's doing homewirk, I did mine before my dad said I could come here as Linda went to Florida with her dad for Winter which made her lonely but at leastvshe still had Bree.
"Wow, Shockie dame to my house aftervall, does your dad know." Bree asked hugging her.
"Yes her dad gave permission as hecand her mom had to go do things." Jennifer told her as Emile tumbled downstairs in his Abomination form so it didn't hurt him seeijg Bree applauding and Bruce sighing knowing his and Jennifer's daughter was impressionable, along with inspiring Shocket only Bree was surprised that Skarr was staying with them because she andcCharlie didn't know their brother very well knowing their dad would give them the Give Him A Chance lecture.
"Relax Bruce, we'll help especially Emile." Jennifer told him kissing him under mistletoe seeing Charlie looking grossed-out but Bree and Shocket found it sweet.
"We're big and in third-grade, it doesn't gross ys out besides Shocket's seen her parents kiss a lot." Bree told him going to make ornaments they could put on the tree seeing Shocket joining them, but makijg a gery cool dreidel-shaped ornament involving her and her parents and Bree noticed Casey, Emily weren't on it yet fouhd it sweet.
"I know we don't celebratecChristmas like your family, Bree but you think my parents would like it, as a Hannukah present from me, I made them a card in art-class and wanted to give it to mybdas he was busy, I know Casey and Emmy got them something good." Shocket said seeing Bree nodding saying it would be a wonderful Hannukah gift to give hervparents, it came from her heart knowing the holidays brought out goidness in others seeing her putting the ornament in a spare guft box decorating It, writing on the tag in her best writing, putting it in her backpack for now.
"I'm gonna makecan ornament for your Groot now, is that okay." she said
"Yep, that would be awesome, Uncle Emile made one too." Bree said hearing Charlie ask, why Shocket called the tree a Groot as Bree explained making the six-year old get it.
"Wow the tree looks awesomevwith all the decorations, especially the ones the kids made, they made one forvEmlia since she's too little yet to do this or understand what's happening, but Santa will still bring her tots thatvare baby-Hulk proof." Bruce said seeingvCharliecand Bree nod sipping hot cocoa as Shocket was talking to her parents on the Banner house-phone which got outer-space servuce making Bree hope her friend's parents were okay, knowing she was missing Linda making Jennifer understand because it was nearly Hannukah which Rocket along with Gamora, Shocket and her sibs celebrated guessing her phone was an early gift as the holiday hadn't started yet.
"My parents say hi, they'll be back in the morning with my auntvJupiter and uncle Herbert, Casey's actual parents but they miss me and love me, what did I miss." Shocket saud as they were telling stories but when Bruce's story was getting good, they heard a Hulk-sized knockijg on the door and Jennifer answered it, seeing Skarr there shyly standing there with a backpack hugging him, seeing Bruce come over hugging him.
"H-Hi, I'm Skarr your brother from space." he told both Bree and Charlie shyly so Shocket was following Jennifer to the kitchen deciding to leave the Banner sibs alome to bond.
