After blasting off from the hangar bay into outer space, Rocket was excitable about seeing Howard again knowing that Shocket was the same hopimg Lylla would not ask questions, if they were gone for a long while, seeing Shocket imitating her mom phoning her principal so nobody at her school wouldbe suspicious or call Lylla, impressing her dad as she was his kit forsure, seeing a mischievous grin on her face at his words, as they were initating hyperspace, disappearing.

"That's good that we will be there soon, and didn't have to use my stone to get us there, which would have aroused suspicion." Rocket toldher, staring at her mohawk, noticing she had redyed it purple, knowing Lylla had flipped out majorly seeing she had did that, knowing it was her signature look.

Shocket knew her dad was curious about her life before they had found each other, knowing hewould understand, as she knew some things about hI'm, from Howard telling her stories which made her feel braver, when Tivon was being a major jerk to her and Linda.

"We've got time, so why not?" she said.


Shocket smirked, finding a s can of hair-dye, knowing that she wanted to be her own being, plus Howards's stories about her actual father who wasbrave, rebellious was the inspiration that she needed, looking at herself in the mirror, as she couldn't dye her whole furry body thinking, then she saw her brown-haired mohawk makimg her eyes light up.

"That's it, that's how I rebel, I'm not his kid and neber will be!" she said.

She got to work, dying her mohawk, the one thing on her body that stood out, knowing Tivon was busy so he would not check on her or Linda for a while yet when she was finks he'd, she looked like how she felt inside knowing this was her signature look, she couldnot wait to show Linda.

"This is me, Shocket and nobody can take this away, not even Tivon!" she declared proudly.

"What the flarg, what did you do to your mohawk?" Tivon said to her, making her smirk.

"Yeah, I made it my own, I'm not your kid, Linda too." she replied.

Linda was impressed by her best friend, standing up for herself, guessing the stories that her dad had toldthem had inspired her, seeing Howard agreeing with her not letting Tivon see, he would tell Shocket later, when they were alone seeing Shocket run off, before Tivon could do anything, deciding he wouldtell her the nameof her actual father makimg Linda promise, not to tell until ter.
