"I think Rockford has our germs, from when we were sick and he took care of us." Ranger told the other Rockets a few mornings later at breakfast making them worried by this wondering if he had just a cold or the Terran Corona bug that the Terran news had been talking about which had worried the family, guessing it was just a bad cold like they had.

"Nope, he had the Corona vaccines just like us, I think he just has a rotten flu." Ranger replied to them seeing Rock-E making a kettle's worth of magic, mystery tea to help Rockford with his cold, and the other Rockets were making a care package for Rockford.

They were then going to his room, seeing Rockford asleep in bed with the blankets wrapped around him so were leaving the stuff there, letting him rest but would get him meds to help him feel better, along with sleeping leaving him be.

Rockette was goijg to her room, to practice magic, along with working on potions making Rock sigh, as he was seeing Rockie Mcfly grab his hoverboard, along with Rock making Rocket chuckle knowing they were being careful, while Casey was helping Rocket make ramen for Rockford in the kitchen.

"I hope this helps, as he does a lot for us." Casey said.

"That's true kiddo and show him how much we care, like Valentine's Day." Rocket replied seeing her quiet at the mention of Valentine's Day explaining that she could make Valentines for family and friends, not just romantic ones.

"I guess you have a point, uncle." she said softly making Rocket understand until he saw Rockford out of bed which bothered him in case he got worse seeing them frowning as Rocket was leading him back to his room.

"You have to stay in bed if you wanna get better, don't make me duct tape your butt to the bed." he told Rockford seeing him relent until he found a chest of the beardedmale's things including a stuffed kaiju guessing Rockford could use a snuggle buddy, he had to clean it up first, letting Rockford rest.


It was a few days later and Valentine's Day which made Casey sigh getting up and ready for the day noticing heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast with chocolate-scented magic, mystery tea which made the female-kit's frown widen seeing Rocket, Rockette, Thorocket and Rock-E being lovey-dovey however Rock-E noticed the frown on her furry face but her fur was turning light-blue wondering what was wrong on this holiday of love and sweetness seeing her cut down the middle of the heart-shaped pancake with her knife and looked like a broken heart as normally, she was in a bubbly mood.

"You guys get ready, I wanna talk with somebody as her mood bothers me." Rock-E told the others which Rocket understood, knowing Casey didn't get this holiday or thought it wasn't for her plus right now, it was just him and Casey sitting on the floor of the living-room, recently the other kits had been having lots of adventures with the adults so thankful he and Casey were doing something together.

"Why so down about this holiday, when you get to have chocolate and gifts but tell those you love how much you love them." he asked softly stroking some of her bangs gently to get her to look at him like with some of his shyer students.

"It's just it's ronantic stiff, I don't have a boy or girlfriend to give a gift to plus other kids in mygrade would reject my valentines." she mumbled making Rock-E understand, hugging her guessing Sif had not explained Valentine's Day was not just for romance, but to celebrate other forms of love, knowing self-love would be Casey's say of celebrating so had to explain seeing she was now curious than upset

"Some people don't have a soulmate and that's okay, so on Valentine's Day, they do something nice for themselves or give themselves a gift, it's not weird but let's go so I can show you." he told her as they were having their own little adventure or a field-trip, he'd let Piper help set up the class party as he had told her where everything was and Groot could help.

Meanwhile in the third-grade room, Linda noticed Shocket was embarrassed, a lot of Valentines were in her mailbox seeing her soulmate did not know how to explain she had a girlfriend at their age without kids making fun or Shocket almost goijg into a certain mode seeing the middle part of her furry nose went pink, which the female duckling thought adorable.

"I'll give you yours later at your house, alright." she whispered kissing Shocket's furry cheek while the class was stampeding outside for recess, only Casey wasn't here which was odd.

"She wasn't in a good mood this morning." Shocket told her.

"Ohhhh, she has been acting ofd about this holiday." Linda replied

She was excited about the Valentine's dance later which was why Linda was coming over to Shocket's house to hang out and get ready for the dance excited hearing the last bell ring and Shocket excitedly running out with Linda goijg to her house seeing Rocket surprised by how many Valentines Shocket had gotten from her classmates, despite having a soulmate at their age, telling her Casey was taking an nap after being out all day with Rock-E which made Shocket more curious about her cousin's day plus Rose had madecCasey a Venomtine which Rocket found cute.
