Shocket smiled as she snuck out of the compound, as it was a rainy day which made her happy which Linda didn't know about as the rain helped her relax but was running around in her armour but loving how the rain felt in her mohawk and fur plus was going to the forest area of the campus where the lavender bushes were which were her favourite plants as she had learnt that lavender was very relaxing to her which she needed right now, because of the project they were doing in class to do with family and when the teacher had announced said project it had made her frown which Linda had seen wondering if she had been okay.

Stupid project, as they don't understand how that stuff sets me off, but I couldn't explain in fromt of the class, at least the lavender is helping relax me which is a good thing as Ducky probably noticed and worried.

She was smelling the lavender, which smelt good lying under there as she was tired but had not slept because Demetra had been really hyper so she had not taken an nap hoping that Linda or her dad weren't worrying about her as she could handle being missing for a while, unaware her dad had figured out that she snuck out to be in the rain sometimes, and had went out after her stunned, finding her asleep under lavender understanding knowing that a certain project had her upset and happy she hadn't taken it out, on other kids or Demetra ruffling her mohawk seeing her begin to stir surprised to see him wondering what he was doing here.

"Oh hey daddy, I just stepped out for some air." Shocket said.

"It's okay sweetie, I know what's happening with you." Rocket replied.

He was listening to her telling him about the project that her teacher had started making him understand knowing she couldn't stay out here in the rain getting an idea knowing Demetra and a few kindergarten students had gotten out, so had followed Rock-E outside to herd them inside, making Shocket realise why there was mud on his armour.

"Yeah, your sis was throwing mud at us." he said.

She relented goijg inside as he was grabbing a flowerpot from one of the greenhouses putting a lavender plant in it for Shocket, goijg back inside heading to Linda and Shocket's apartment seeing Shocket was taking a shower to get warmed up placing the lavender plant on Shocket's desk.

"So, that's where she sneaks off to when upset." Linda told him.

"Yep, but it's a good thing and it helps her relax." Linda heard him say.

After a while, Shocket came out putting on pyjamas which was helping her relax, smelling lavender stunned that her dad had brought her lavender lying on her and Linda's bed as she was tired making Linda understand joining her.

"Feeling better after today." she asked seeing Shocket nod.

"Yeah, plus the lavender helps, is this odd." Shocket asked.

"No sweetie, it's sweet and helps you relax, plus Demetra got in trouble sneaking out into the rain.":Linda replied to her hugging her.

That night Shocket was putting some of Groot's soil into the lavender plant's flowerpot unaware of what would happen, but in the morning she got a surprise seeing a lavender-furred sapling in the flowerpot looking at her makijg Shocket impressed taking it in her paws feeling her nuzzle her nose, showing Linda.

"Whoa, how did this happen, we have to show your dad." she told Shocket.

"I am groot, I am groot." the sapling said makijg her giggle.

"I'm Shocket, that's Linda, I don't know what to name you, maybe daddy knows, he's a Groot expert." she said picking the flowerpot up gently from her desk heading to the lab seeing her dad surprised, hearing her explain.

"Awww now you're really taking after me, you have your own unique Groot." Rocket told her nodding as her sapling was on her shoulder which reminded him of Groot at this age giving her tips seeing her understand, feeling hungry heading to breakfast plus givingher sapling milk, as like Shocket, her bones needed it noticing kids were curious about Petal which Linda thought a good name.

"No fair, how come daddy gave you a Groot." Demetra asked.

"Rocket didn't give her it, it's big kid stuff." Linda told her.

"Okay, I can't wait to be big so I can have one." Demetra replied.

"I am groot, i am groot." Petal asked.

"That's Demetra, Shockie's little sis, now she saw you, she's gonna bug her and Shockie's dad for one." Linda said seeing Shocket sigh, Petal was hers and a happy accident sharing bites of pancakes with the lavender-furred sapling seeing her loving it making Shocket grin.


Later that afternoon, after getting Petal to have an nap, Shocket was taking one too as an entire day of classes wiped her of energy which Linda knew only Petal had kept Shocket happy all day, guessing she was good for her hoping Demetra had forgotten about wanting her own Groot or Rocket had told her why not, chuckling softly at that while doing homework seeing Shocket cuddling Quacker, her stuffed duck she still slept with which Linda thought adorable but kept secret as the other kids might not understand doijg homework, knowing her furry soulmate had did hers.

Plus there had been news reports of somebody masquerading as a certain web-slinger but had a furry tail which surprised Casey but impressed her, thinking it was her friend, Rockelle from the Rocketverse making Rocket quiet, hoping Peter didn't see making Casey wonder why.

"Oh no reason, don't worry about it." he said to her.
