Lylla grinned, getting ready for school, or her first day at Tokyo Middle School but she was listening to Rock-E's newest song while gettijg dressed in her uniform, hearing her father's servant call her for breakfast sighing as shewent to the kitchen.

Lylla or Lyllie as her parents that owned a tech-company, plus her siblijgs were genuises, compared to her who loved music and idolised Rock-E, Japan's most popular singer and in the famous band, Guardians of the World that she idolised especially Rock-E as he was a raccoon but a talkijg and singing one who had found fame and fortune but she found him adorable, much to her parents and sibs.

"Lyllie, excited about your first day of middle-school, is that a Guardians of the World backpack?" she heard her dad ask making the female otter cub ftown, other kids in the city liked Guardians of the World and Rock-E not just her.

"Hai, I guess guys." she replied to them.

She was drinking coffee, as she'd been up late watchijg the Guardians of the World along with Rock-E performing, she'd lied to her parents about sleepijg, they were into technology and math, like her brothers and sisters, she was more into swimming, art and music which made the female otter-cub misunderstood, she had also taken her mom's sunglasses, making them look like Rock-E's which her brother who was the president of her family's tech-company had seen, but had kept it a secret, Lylla was just a cub hitting puberty.

"I-I should get goijg, you know?" Lylla said grabbing her backpack, which had her lunch in it, leaving the mansion she lived in, walkijg the few blocks wearing the sunglasses she'd made, hummijg one of Rock-E's songs, unaware the universe would bring her a friend bumpijg ijto somebody wearing a black and orange hooded top with black trousers wearing sunglasses with art on them makijg the brown-furred male shy, as his sunglasses had fallen off.

"Sorry about that, you okay?" Lylla asked seeijg the stranger had a raccoon-tail!

"I'm good, peachy, you alright?" he replied to her helpijg her up.

"Peachy, but you seem familiar and wear sunglasses?" Lylla said.

"Ohhhh you think I'm him, my name's Rocket.& he lied.

They were hanging out and talkijg, hearing the school bell makijg Lylla frown, after they exchanged WhatsApp codes, scampering off, Lylla towards school, but the raccoon male in an nearby alley lowering the hood revealing blue spiked hair, smirkijg as he was Rock-E but dressed like an normal kit to have some alone-time hearijg giant footsteps, as it was his bodyguard and best bud, Groot relieved to see him.

"I made a friend, her name's Lylla, just don't tell the guys." he said seeing Groot nodding, seeing fans surround him, makijg Groot protective of him, hearing the male raccoon assure him, they were harmless, wanting selfies or an autograph seeing Groot relent being on alert just in case, curious about this new friend, seeing him distracted.

"I am groot?" he asked.

"I'm okay buddy, you know?" Rock-E replied softly.

He sighed as maybe some tea might relax him, seeing Rock-E join him, as they were leaving seeijg his furry pal, putting up his hood concealing his identity, unless he made a TikTok video as he and Howard had set up TikTok accounts, hearing his phone buzzing as it was Honward, his best friend who was a duck rapper, famous like him wondering why he had made an new video watchijg with earbuds in his furry ears.

"It's just Howie bragging, as usual." he told him gettijg a text from his niece's sitter saying she had snuck out again, makijg him sigh making Groot squeeze his paw gently, assuring him, Casey was alright, probably makijg friends.

"I hope so, but her mom trusted me with her, I can't let her down, or that her kit runs around Tokyo, when my back is turned!" he said seeing the cops show up with a purple-haired but brown-furred kit in an ninja outfit, makijg Rock-E sigh.

"Konnichiwa uncle, I was just hanging out at the arcade, then these guys showed up." Casey said.

"Arigatou, I got it from here, should I pay you?" Rock-E said winking at the female officers from behind his shades, makijg Casey make a face seeing the cops leave, glaring at her makijg the female-kit gulp.

"I am groot?" Groot asked.

"Casey, I promised your mom, that I would look out for you, and you pull crazy stunts, like mess with claw machines, what should I do?" Rock-E said to her.

"Let me slide?" Casey said smirking.

"Nice try, you're grounded for the night, no festival!" he replied.

"Whatever, I don't wanna see your dumb band, Baka." she replied makijg Rock-E feel bad, feelijg Groot hug him, which helped him, as he had a sound-check to do, hoping Casey would chill and control herself and her powers, leaving his house with Groot after leaving yen so Casey could order herself dinner, he loved her and wanted the best for her, even if she didn't realise it.

Casey could hear her cousin, Shocket in her room, singing as she was musical like her uncle, sighing as she felt lonely hearing her phone go off, as it was Crystal, her best friend who was a writer and an awesome one, which made her feel better tellimg her what had happened like getting arrested, besides being under house arrest from her uncle.


Lylla sighed sitting at the back of the classroom, as she had been quiet when entering and introducing herself but being anxious making the class laugh, which had made the female otter-cub feel embarrassed and had sat down at the back of the classroom yet was thinkimg about that strange raccoon boy, he was wearijg the same sunglasses, that Rock-E wore even though he had said his name was Rocket, something was off.

"Ms Otter, focus!" her teacher said snapping her out of her thoughts, as it was almost the end of the day, excited about the festival as Rock-E would be performing so was doijg her homework the second she got home, excited hearing her parents sayijg she could go to the festival.

"Woah, Rocket texted, he's goijg to be there!" she said to herself, done and getting ready, dressing like she wanted, knowing there was a science exhibition her family were showcasing tech at.
