"Wait, you're going to school was this the grown-ups's idea." Rocket asked stunned.
"Y-Yeah as they think I should and wanted you to coke, they think you're not ready yet." Gamora replied to him feeling Groot squeeze her hand gently.
"I am ready, but are you gonna be okay, without me or Groot." Rocket asked her.
It was later that afternoon and after having some awesome playtime at the park, they'd returned to their apartment to have an afternoon snack however Gamora had remembered what Kamala and her had talked about so had felt anxious about telling Rocket however she felt that he would understand, this was a great oppournity drinking a tall glass of chocolate-milk which was calming her nerves helping her metabolism knowing her people were cute and chunky but had amazing upper body strength knowing Rocket's species had the same metabolism.
"I think so but I'm not leaving you, I come back at the end of the day plus you'll have Groot to play with." Gamora reassured the male kit kissing his nose which was makijg him feel a little better relieving Groot as he cared about his friends and this was a big change for them making Gamora understand.
"Okay then, you have our blessing." Rocket said hugging her.
"Thanks buddy, as I should tell them my decision." Gamora said mouthing ijto the place where the camera was, but hadn't told Rocket where it was in case he trashed it when he got angry on her first day of school, taking deep-breaths seeing Rocket watching shows on TV relieving her and Groot as that kept him calm.
"I hope he'll be okay on my first day." Gamora whispered to Groot as he nodded.
"I am Groot, I am Groot." Groot replied to her as Rocket was distracted by anime which was entrancing his youhg mind.
"Everything okay, Gammy." she heard him askijg her, breaking his focus.
She nodded in reply grinning telling him not to worry, that everything would be alright and she'd tell him what school was like making a curious look cross his furry face at that seeing Groot think that was a good idea so when he was ready for school, he'd be prepared ordering pizza getting excited, knowing all Terrans especially the kids loved it.
"Yeah, we get to try it, as Terran kids love it and ice-cream too." Rocket told her seeing her smirk at his thinking as they had Ben and Jerry's in the fridge which they could have for dessert seeing Rocket more excitable.
"I am Groot, I am Groot." Groot told him in a calming tone, seeing him relaxed seeing Gamora turn the channel over so he would calm down because he needed his rest to grow including his paw had to heal up, which was still in the cast seeing Groot leaving to get the pizzas being a teenager, but a sweet and kind one who was like a big brother seeing a worried look on Rocket's furry face thinking Groot might need help.
"Don't worry buddy, Groot can take care of himself, he's a big kid tree." Gamora assured him sitting beside him on the couch cuddling on the couch watching a fun movie and giggling at the antics so Rocket wanted to tell Groot all about it when he got back with the pizzas.
Groot smirked with pride as he was walking back to Brooklyn, where he and his friends lived hoping they were alright and not causing trouble or Rocket wasn't getting into trouble playing carrying the pizza boxes in his vine-like hands spotting the apartment-building they lived in, sneaking into their apartment seeing Gamora and Rocket calm relieving him.
"Hey, Groot's back with the pizzas, yay." Rocket said making Gamora smile.
"I am Groot, I am Groot." Groot replied to him grinning Making Rocket giggle.
"He said he swiped them, before the delivery-guy delivered them." he told her.
Gamora hoped the grown-ups that were secretly looking out for them hadn't heard them as they might not approve of what Groot had did, seeing the treelike boy shrug his shoulders at her as they were digging in, enjoying the food plus the ice-cream was good and wiring Rocket up, knowing Groot could help calm him down before bedtime seeing Groot nod.
