"I think, Shocket didn't sleep well last night, along with uncle Rocket judging from this morning as they were out of it plus Ms Lylla made them take an nap." Linda said.
"Because of Tivon, right?" Casey replied while making holiday cards.
It was early afternoon at the compound but after lunch, Lylla had made both Rocket and Shocket rest, so Casey and Linda were doimg their own things, Linda watching TV while Casey was doing art stuff, guessing Linda was waiting for Shocket to awaken, noticing she was quiet, deciding to leave her be making Lylla understand, asking her, if she wanted to help her bake making Casey nod excitedly following her into the kitchens.
"I guess that Shocket's remembering about her past, which is bothering your uncle, plus I see you're making holiday cards eh?" she told Casey seeimg the female kit nod, guessing that was why Linda was being quiet while helping decorate cookies.
"Maybe we should let uncle Rockie and Shocket have cookies, it might make Shocket feel better." Casey told her.
After a while, both Rocket and Shocket were awake, smelling cookies, making Lylla smile, at that reaction, seeing Linda hug Shocket, knowing what was bothering her, which Rocket understood, before they went to get a snack relieving Rocket that hs little girl wasfeelimg a little better, seeing Lylla agree because she cared about Shocket seeing her drinking milk, dunkimg cookies into it.
Shocket grinned going into the kitchen, finding soda, knowing that Terran kids liked it, so guessed that it was worth a try, opening a can of Coke making Casey impressed, hoping the adults were prepared for Hurricane Shocket, hearing her gigglimg and getting jittery seeing her taking off like a furry blur, making Rocket amused, knowing that his little one was going to crash hard once thesoda
"She's just experimenting, like all kids, plus she'll probably take an nap, once the soda wears off." he told the others.
Plus Rocket had gotten some big news, which he needed to talk to Lylla about, once Shocket fell asleep, trying to calm her down by letting her run on a treadmill, to make her tired after drinking soda, making Ranger and Riley confused, about what Shocket wasdoing, until Rocket told them, making them understand, along with his big news seeing him telling them to be quiet about that, making them confused.
"I need to think about it, as it means being away from Lylla and Shocket, even though it would be awesome, to sit in the cockpit chair." Rocket said to them softly, making Shocket wonder what was going on with her dad, trying to listen unaware her dad knew that seeing she was sleepy, taking her to her room, so she could sleep off the soda high, which was like him when he was drunk
Lylla wassurprised and impressed, that Rocket was becoming the new leader of the Guardians, wondering why he was feeling conflicted, hearing him explaining making her think, it was sweet he was concerned about her and Shocket seeing him nodding hopimg that he would take the mantle, since being an Avenger had prepared him for this, plus she would look after Shocket while he was on missions, relieving him seeing Groot hug him.
"Yeah, I'm gonna pick up the mantle, as Lylla helped me decide." he told him, making Lylla happy, kissing him making him chuckle knowing he could make this work, deciding to wait until later, to tell both Casey and Shocket, hoping Shocket would understand when he told her.
"You should tell them, before Shocket finds out, and gets upset." Lylla told him.
"Yeah, you have a point, I'll tell her at bedtime." he replied to her.
Casey had been listening using her cloaking-power, guessing that her uncle was becoing the new leader of the Guardians, deciding to let him tell Shocket, going to get ready for bed seeing Shocket anxiously waiting to hear what she had found out, hearing her say that she should ask her dad about it.
