It was the night, before Lylla and Rocket were to get married, so Casey and Crystal were hanging out while the wedding court were having a party for Lylla, only thefemale kit sensed a strange aura, her eyes widened seeing the future her in Shocket's snare trap, wondering what shewasdoing here, was something wrong?
"Thanks mini-me, I-I just needed alone time." she told Casey.l
Casey saw that her older self's front paws were shaky, like hers when anxious, guessing she was still anxious, wondering if something had frightened her, hugging her like Crystal with her, seeing a small grin on her furry face, sitting beside her on thefloor feeling a bit better.
"I just had a panic attack, because my dad wants to give me his mantle." she told Casey, seeing hersurprised.
"Woah, the next Rocket or Rockette is us, you're scared of letting him down, or Shocket will freak, but Crystal will bethere foryou." Casey said making her older self smile at this.
"Yes, my Crystal or Magica-Kokoro which is her hero name is excited." Casey said.
Casey wanted to ask questions, but she wanted to know, if she got more braver in thefuture, to talk to others without freezing up orstuttering wondering why she felt comfortable to talk to Crystal, her dad and now her older self, but not theotherkidsat school feeling her future selfgently squeeze her paw.
"I still am like that, until we become Raccoon Girl, then we're brave, because people andothers need us, the best superheroes are anxious but havea strong and good heart, like Tara Tremendous." Future Casey assured her.
Casey smirked at that, noticing her older self feeling better too, saying she would make up her mind about becoming Rockette disappearing througha portalimpressing her, just as Crystal entered with Rocket as they had gotten takeout for dinner so wouldtell Crystal lafter, as her dad might not believe her, that she had met her older self, even helped her calm down smirkijg making Crystal wonder what was goijg on, thinking somebody had reviewed one of her fan-fictions.
"I'll tell you later, okay?" Casey whispered.
"Wow, in the future, you're awesome despite beijg anxious, were you writijg fanfiction?" Crystal asked.
It was later that early mornijg and Casey was still up, writing on her tablet, guessing she was writing a fanfic, because Kamala of all Avengers had introduced Casey to fan-fiction after Casey had read one of Kamala's stories where the Avengers protectijg Planet Unicorn so Kamala had explained fanfiction, then set up an Archive of Our Own accoujt, so she could write fanfiction, hopijg Rocket would not fijd out, imagining his reaction.
"Casey, you have to rest, your dad's gettijg married later, don't you wanna charge your tablet, in case you get ideas." Crystal asked the female kit hearijg Casey yawning, seeing Crystal chargihg the tablet for Casey, impressed she imagined her, Crystal, Linda and Shocket as their own Guardians team, with Rocket as their mentor.
"You're pretty good at writijg, Raccoon Girl." she whispered lyijg beside her, fallijg asleep.
