"Hello, who's there, don't be afraid." Herbert called out, as it was late-night on his ship and sensed something or somebody had stowed away, he wasn't mad but curious guessing whatever stowed away needed his help having tech, he could donthat easily.

"I-I'm here." he heard a gentle voice replying seeing a female-raccoon wearing pilot goggles over her eyes wearing armour but had lomg messy brownish hair to match her fur, having baby-blue eyes holding warmth and sentience in them noticing she was injured making Herbert concerned for her despite just meeting her making his cheeks pink.

"My name's Jupiter, like the planet and thank you for letting mevstay." she told him.

"H-Herbert but let's get you checked out, Ms Jupiter." he said softly gently scooping her up onto his back going to the infirmary….


Casey was in awe, as it was pretty late but had decided to take a break from being Raccoon Girl enjoying bonding with Jupiter her mom alomg with Herbert who was tellijg her how he and Jupiter had met, because stories helped cubs wind down for sleep which Casey needed only she had questions, like what happened next making Jupiter chuckle at her curiousity, feeling pain in her mouth makijg Jupiter excited as Casey opened her mouth revealing a loose fang making her, Herbert and Rocket happy confusing the female-cub

"Sweetie, you have your first loose fang which is a good thing and when it comes out, somebody special will visit you and leave a gift under your pillow but so proud." Jupiter said makijg Rocket realise something.

"Don't try to make it come out fast, the Fang Collector likes loose fangs in pristine condition." he said.

"Who's the Fang Collector, he orvshe isn'tva friend of Tivon, right." Casey asked concerned.

"No he's not, he comes to cubs of ohr species, who lose their baby-fangs but leave a bounty in return." Rocker assured her.

"Okay then, he can have my loose fang, when it comes out." she said yawning as Jupiter kissed her goodnight which Rocket found sweet knowing he normally did that letting things be unaware Herbert sensed something bothered him seeing him shaking his furry head leaving Casey's room making Gamora guess that with her first loose-fang, Casey was growing up a little seeing him nodding looking atva scrapbook he'd added to every year, since he'd adopted her as an infant which Gamora looking over his furry shoulder seeing photos of an infant-Casey with him which made him grin.
