"Wow, the tree looks awesome and see Casey helped with the tree like how Emily helped Gammy and me decorate for Hannukah while RJ and Shocket were being their usual selves." Rocket told Herbert
"Thank you my lil prince and know you don't like being called that as you're a Guardian of the Galaxy but you'll always be my lil prince." he said making Rocket's furry cheeks go pink sniffling hugging his leg which Casey found sweet along with Jupiter joining in the hug unaware one of Roxy's drones was watching them making Roxy roll her eyes.
"Ugh too mushy, and he's getting soft showing his weakness the ones he loves." she said drinking eggnog that was in the fridge belching unaware Rocket had heard that, turning to where the drone was scowling which turned into a smirk confusing Roxy.
Real mature Roxy, why're you spying on us, just give up and surrender don't make me and my friends have to stop you as Indon't want to do that, especially during the holidays.
"You ain't got the guts boy, go ahead, I dare you runt." Roxy replied seeing Rocket grab his blaster, aiming it at the drone shooting it destroying it, impressing Jupiter and Herbert along with Casey at that.
"I could've done that with my laser paws, mom too you know." she told Rocket seeing Jupiter nodding only she wondered why Roxy calling her step-son runt upset him.
"It's complicated mom-" Rocket said seeing Casey's eyes go wide at that as Rocket left at once, making Herbert know he and Jupiter had explaining to do to Casey after Rocket had called Jupiter mom hoping Roxy had heard that, even though the drone was destroyed revealing to the female-cub her uncle was also her step-brother making her in awe.
"This is so cool, wait until I tell my friends." she said making Jupiter giggle reminding her to take some deep-breaths to relax from the excitement seeing her do so feeling better and calm WhatsApping Crystal but wanted to go find Peach and Raya as she wanted to help them decorate their treehouse for the holidays hearing that was okay.
Merry Grootmas and see you later." Casey said before leaving only Jupiter and Herbert were wondering what to get her from them so going into town to do holiday shoppijg for them, their cubs but their friends knowing being with Peach and Raya would tire Casey out so she wouldn't guess what they were doijg.
"Alright you're here, now we can start decorating but what took you so long." Peach saidas she and Raya were happy seeing Casey had arrived making her grin, explaining she'd been ready to go then Rocket had visited her parents deciding to keep what she'd learnt from them seeing Branchie frown, as she was with Casey.
"I am Groot." she told her softly which Peach and Raya couldn't hear, plus she wanted to get Rocket a special gift after finding out he was her brother which made her so happy, plus had made a special Hannukah card using her art supplies which she planned to give to him later when she, Jupiter and Herbert visited later which filled her big heart with joy which helping her friends decorate added to seeing a huge grin on her furry face which Peach and Raya saw.
"Somebody's feeling the joy of the season alright, we love seeing you like this." Raya told her seeing Casey nod.
Later that early evening, Casey was humming holiday music including Jingle Bells which Branchie loved singing in Groot hearing Jupiter giggle hearing them singing loud.
"Woah did you two have buttloads of cookies with Peach and Raya, you know how I feel about you hyper." she told her.
"Nope just feeling joyful, I made Rockie a Hannukah card." she replied showin her mom which made her in awe knowing he'd love it.
