Piper was curious, because Rock-E was up to something which involved a lot of artifical roses, chocolate, wine and food wondering what was going on, realising it was Valentine's Day finding whatever her musical furboy doing sweet, deciding not to ruin whatever surprise he had in store for her, as she had gotten him a gift and gotten him a card.
"Oh h-hey Pipes, how's your day going." Rock-E said acting casual.
"It's alright buddy, and yes I'm having a good day." she replied
She then noticed something fall out of his jacket, an envelope that had his mother's name on it, guessing he wanted to give his birth-mom a valentine which she found sweet poking him gently on his shoulder showing him the envelope seeing his furry cheeks go pink.
"Yeah, I made Mommy Sakura a valentine, but too shy to give it to her." he replied.
"I don't think it's dumb, it's sweet we should go give it to her, I know you've been missing her." Piper told him seeing him agree, getting out of the house walkijg the blocks to the apartment building that Rock-E's birth-mom lived in but the place held many memories of him and Piper growing up, climbing up the fire escape into Sakura's apartment making Piper impressed.
"Piper, Rockie, this is a surprise, Kimi had a shift." Sakura said hugging them but kissed Rock-E's nose which Piper found adorable, seeing Sakura stunned by the card hugging Rockie.
"You're welcome mommy, I have been missing you." he admitted.
"Sweetie is everything alright, the label aren't being mean." Sakura asked.
"No, they're fine I was just missing you, but was busy." he replied.
She was understanding plus tellijg him, how things were goijg like working at a cafe until the health inspector had threatened to close it, if she had not , left which made Rockie's blood boil, his mom was so kind and made great food, he had to find her a good job feeling Sakura squeeze his paw gently.
"It's okay sweetie, honestly I'll be okay plus I was baking, it's Valentine's Day after all." she reassured hin seeing her pop a cookie into his mouth hearing him chew seeing him enjoying it seeing Piper grin at this, eating one herself.
Hmmm, maybe Sakura should open her own bakery, as she's really good at it, maybe she'd like to do it, I'll tell Rock-E on the way to 616 later.
"Piper you okay, what's on your mind, are the cookies good." Sakura asked.
"No Sakura they're awesome, I think you should open a bakery." she told her.
Sakura's eyes widened at her suggestion, she had wanted to do that only it involved the health inspector making Rock-E hug her, explaining they'd find a way to make it happen because she had supported him with his music growing up.
"Okay honey, Arigatou for the idea, Piper." she said.
"You're welcome, Sakura." Piper replied.
Rocket wondered why Rock-E was so distracted, unaware of his friend visiting his mom but was seeing him smile seeing the strawberry cupcakes that his mom had given him, to share impressing Rocket that his Japanese brother's mother was so good at baking and so sweet to him, it made him wish he had this relationship with his mom deciding not to tell Rockie, as he loved His mom so hearing that Rocket and his mom didn't get along.
"Sorry Rocket, just thinking about my mom, I know you and your mom don't get along, my mom got fired from the cafe she worked at." Rock-E said softly.
"That's too bad, why did she get fired." Rocket asked him.
"The health inspector said she'd shut the cafe down, if she didn't leave, however Piper gave her the idea of starting her own bakery." Rock-E replied.
"Wow, that's awesome you're helping your mom, mine became the lunch lady of Avengers Campus." Rocket replied to him.
"Ohhhh that's nice of you, yeah we have to figure out a way for Sakura to open her bakery without health-inspectors in her fur." Rock-E told him.
"Maybe I can help too." Rocket said.
