"Wow, Mom's coming, really, you're not makimg this up?" Thrud asked, seeing Thor nod while the chubby Asgardian female youngster sat on his lap in ger and Casey's room sitting on the double-bed which she and Casey slept in, after Celesta had left with Nebula which Rocket had been surprised by.

"Yes little one, your mother is coming to stay, and bet you can't wait to show her around, as well as introducing Casey to her, since you two are like sisters." Thor replied to her since it was bedtime, knowing that Casey was listening to a story, that her uncle was telling her, making Thrud smile, knowing her best furry pal and soul-sister was recording it on her MP3 player for when she needed them.

"Yep, it's going to be fun, Casey will like mommy." Thrud said yawning while tucking Thrud into her side of the bed, cuddling her World Tree plush, makimg Thor smile kissing her forehead before leaving the room, just as Casey entered, in her night-shirt putting her MP3 player in the charging dock. seeing her get into her side of the bed.

"You alright, you know?" Thrud asked her seeing Casey nod.

"I hope your mom's nice, like you, and chubby, like your dad." she replied.

Thrud smirkedat that, because she knew her mom was nice, knowing her furry best pal and soul-sister was curious, but also nervous hugging her gently, feeling the female youngster relaxing, knowing Casey loved hugs but also giving them to others, despite super-strength being one of her many powers.

"Don't worry, my mommy is nice, plus I told her about you." Thrud said yawning drifting off to sleep.

Meanwhile the others especially Thor and Rocket were still up, having coffee hanging out, plus Thor was talking about his wife, Sif making Rocket impressed, because Lylla was moving into the compound too, which was also making Casey anxious, besides Celesta stowing away on Nebula's ship knowing Monica and Thrud were better for her, knowing Casey and Thrud had decided to become sisters, which he got.

"Yes it is, and Thrud is very excited, about her mom coming." Thor replied.

Hearing the video-phone made Rocket sigh, leaving the kitchen, making Thor get it, because it was nearly sun-rise, needig to get some sleep leaving the kitchen, going to his room hopimg that things were alright.


"So Casey is still sleeping, you know?" Monica asked Thrud that next morning, going to get breakfast after they'd gotten ready for the day, seeing Carol had made pancakes impressing them, asking where Casey was understanding, after Thrud told her.

"We should save some for her, Ms Carol, you know?" Thrud said seeing Monica agree because they had school, seeing Thor agree making coffee for himself saying that Rocket was also asleep making Thrud get it, sprinklimg loganberries on hers, making her dad smile, seeing her and Monica leave to get their school stuff, and Thruds's was in her and Casey's room, being quiet as not to wake Casey.

She smiled hearing Casey talking in her sleep, about gamma cookies, grabbing her backpack leaving the room, closing the door softly making Monica wonder, why Thrud was smiling hearing her tell her, making her get it, makimg Thor chuckle taking her to school knowing Casey would feel better, after breakfast.

Later that morning/early morning, Casey woke up stretching and rubbing the sleep from her brown eyes, getting out of bed, not realising Thrud was at school right now entering the kitchen in her night-shirt seeing Lylla was here, making her feeling anxious because she didn't feel comfortable around new people or places until she got to know them.

"It's alright, Casey, this is Lylla but take your time alright?" Rocket said to the female kit, who was very quiet while eating pancakes and drinking de-caff coffee makimg Lylla confused, until Rocket told her, making the female otter understand, hoping that Casey would warm up to her sooner or later.

"She will, but we should let her be, Lylla." Rocket said, seeing Casey leave after putting her plate in the sink going up to her and Thruds's room, closing the door breathing deeply, getting her ukelele, strumming which was helping her relax, unaware that her uncle was listening impressed by her playing.

"I'm just calming myself, after what's been happening, but curious about Thruds's mom coming." Casey told him, makimg Rocket get it along with Lylla sitting on the bed, explaining that change was scary, yet good seeing her nod, talking to him and Lylla feeling a little better rubbing her eyes, with one of her paws makijg them get it, letting her be.

Monica and Thrud were impressed coming home later, meeting Lylla making them guess, that Casey was probably shy, despite Rocket saying that Casey was already warming up to Lylla, relieving both female youngsters going to their rooms, plus Thrud had brought her and Casey milk and cookies, seeing her asleep with a smile on her furry face.

"That's good, as she was anxious about my mom coming." Thrud told Monica.

After a while, Casey began to stir, happy to see Thrud, hugging her makijg Thrud giggle, at her friend being happy seeing she had been playing her ukelele seeing the brown-red furred kit nod in reply, saying she had needing to calm down because of Lylla
