"Rocket you alright, you don't seem you this morning, everything okay." Jupiter said.
She had a feeling that discovering that Casey had her first loose-fang alomg with what it meant might be making him sad as he'd been Casey's caretaker since she'd been an infant understanding he didn't want her to grow up fast squeezing his paw gently so she wouldn't hurt it with her super-strength power making him smile a little.
"I'm used to it, plus Casey is careful, when she hugs others including me." he assuredher making her relieved asking if it was because of Casey's loose-fang that made him sad.
"Yep, but maybe you're right as I know she's your cub but-" he began seeing Casey enter.
"Morjing starshine, did you sleep well." Jupiter asked her seeing her nodding asking Rocket, if he was okay.
"I'm good starshine, and see you didn't try tonget your loose-fang out." he said faking a grin.
"Casey's not a moron, she can sense you're not okay." Jupiter whispered to him making breakfast.
Rocket sighed, as he didn't want to upset her, sipping his coffee, as he had work soon seeing Herbert up wondering what was going on hearing Jupiter say she'd tell him when Rocket left the house seeing Casey makijg edible art out of her pancakes impressing Jupiter knowing how talented her cub was at art grinning seeing Herbert hug Rocket before he left for work making Casey wonder, if her uncle was okay as shevsaw him like a father only knew that Herbert was to be her stepfather making a frown crossing her furry face.
"I'm just feeling confused about the dad thing." she admitted making Jupiter understand.
"Papa Herbert and Rocket can both be your dads or joint dad, but we'll figure it out." she told her.
"Okay I guess mom, as I think that's why Rocket's upset." Casey said to her drinking milky coffee.
"It's more to do with you having your first loose-fang." Jupiter told her making Casey confused until Herbert explained making her understand wanting to hug, when he got home from work seeing Jupiter agreeing as she knew he was also cobfused about the dad thihg hoping he was okay getting a Whatsapp message from her uncle saying he and Gamora were going to Italy making her excited for him, plus heard knocking from her bedroom window going upstairs seeing Crystal on Bailey but had a pet carrier on Bailey's tip.
"Can I come in, Iwanna introduce you to somebody." she said
Casey opened the window as Crystal flew in jumping off landing on Casey's bed turning Bailey back into a lomg-cane hearing purring noises from the carrier making Casey wonder, if she had a cat in there making the magenta-furred goblin girl giggled.
"Come meet Casey, Toshi." she said after opening the carrier making Casey's eyes widen in awe, seeing a tenuki Cub, wondering how Crystal had gotten one asking if she swiped it from a tenuki-cafe making Crystal laugh.
"Nope, she's my familar and the next part of my sorceroress-training as every good sorceroress needs one but my new special wand is also tenuki based. UnclecDugli helped me find it in thecSceptrecForesr in Aria, it's why I've been gone for a bit but how's things." Crystal told her seeing her playing with Toshi.
"Can I be her big sis, Crystal." she asked her seeing Crystal noddihg.
"Things are a lil weird right now, but I have my first loose-fang only it makes uncle Rockie sad, he thinks I'm growing up fast but I'm get ." Casey told her making Crystal grin at this but hugged Casey as she was going through a lot
Rocket was surprised, seeing Casey hug him after he'd gotten home to pack for his and Gamora's Italian vacation telling him she was still figuring out the dad thing too, making him emotional seeing Gamora choked-up along with Herbert and Jupiter seeing Casey teaching her uncle Italian words.
"Honey grazie but the trahslator in my brain helps me speaj the language of whatever Terran country I'm in which Herbert knows about." he told her impressing Jupiter in awe at this seeing Herbert nodding excited that his son was exploring Terra with his soulmate like how theyd explored the galaxy.
"We're taking the Milano to get to Italy." Rocket said impressing Casey knowing her uncle loved pizza and meatballs knowing Italy was the capital of both foods.
