"Woah, somebody's wearing quite the bling on their paws, is that normal." Rocket asked Rock-E seeing him nodding.

"Yes, they help with playing guitar if you know what I mean, he's excited about Sakura's bakery opening." Piper replied changing the subject.

Why did Piper change the topic, I was being curious, but why is he wearing sparkly gloves.

"Rocket-kun you alright, you kinda spaced out there." Rock-E told him, guessing he was curious about the gloves but heard him playing guitar, but whimpering makijg Rocket surprised and Piper nervous getting the first-aid case out of her bag.

"Is Rock-E okay, is it to do with his paws." Rocket asked her seeing her nod

"Hai it's to do with his paws, take off your gloves, he won't be mad or mean." she said.

Rock-E then did so, hearing Rocket gasp, seeing how sore his brother's paws were asking how this happened noticing Rock-E quiet whimpering which Piper understood hugging him.

"The strings of his guitar dig into his paw-fur and he plays it a lot so playing guitar a lot hurts his paws a lot which is why he wears fingerless gloves besides adding to Rock-E's look." Piper explained to Rocket.

"Wow, you're suffering for your art, sorry about that.":Rocket replied to Rock-E.

"It's okay, it's kind of true, Piper worries everytime this happens, even when we were little and I had my first guitar." Rock-E told him.

"Ohhhh but maybe you should take a break, so they can heal." Rocket told him.

"You have a point, but we were goijg to perform for Mama Sake's bakery opening." he said as Piper was putting band-aids on Rock-E's paws which Rocket thought sweet seeing him put his fingerlesss gloves back on, knowing if fans saw, they might be concerned for him.

"We had band practice earlier and I had no choice, but to play my guitar." Rock-E said.

"I get it, but you have to be nice to yourself sometimes as how can you play guitar, if your paws are really sore." Rocket told him seeing Piper agreeing noticing her musical furboy's claws were broken and needed tending to, seeing Rock-E's furry cheeks goijg pink.

"Rocket said you have to be nice to yourself, taking care of your claws is part of that plus I found Beatles-themed claw decals for you." Piper told him seeing a grin cross his furry face allowing her to do this, unaware Rocket was watching quietly, as not to distract Piper.

"Wow, they're beauitful, Arigatou Pipes." he replied to her after she was done.

"You're welcome buddy, let's go to the opening." she told him as they left with Rocket.


"Wow, your treats are a success with everybody Mom, you should be proud." Rock-E said seeing Sakura nod in reply ringing up the register.

"I know sweetie, and no health-inspector can stop me." Sakura replied to him after closing the bakery for the day knowing this was a good idea

"We should get going, you know." Rockie told her seeing her hand Piper a few boxes for her and Rockie's family makijg Rocket grin, liking how sweet Sakura was to Rockie compared to his own mother, feeling Sakura hug him after she had hugged Rockie and Piper leaving the bakery.

"Holy crutack, obaa opened a bakery and gave us free treats." Yoko asked.

"We're her grand-kits, of course she'd hook us up." Shocket replied.

"PJ you okay, it's okay." Piper assured her and Rockie's youngest kit.

"Yeah I'm okay mommy, Shocket was being her usual self." she replied.

Rocket understood reassuring her, his Shocket drove other kids crazy so was calming things down giving Rockie an idea for him and Piper to have a date-night since Rocket had told him he had to be nice to himself, knowing they needed a sitter hearing Rocket say he would do it making Shocket and Yoko along with PJ happy.
