Jake: So, Rocket, what will happen to the Guardians now?

Rocket: We'll continue our adventures, as always. But I'll miss this place. Wakanda is something else.

Jake: Yeah, it's a special place. I'm glad you got to experience it.

Rocket: Me too, bud.

Ramonda: (enters) Excuse me, I don't mean to intrude.

Shuri: (appears) What's going on?

Ramonda: I saw Rocket's gun, and I thought--

Shuri: (notices Ramonda's concern) It's okay, Mom. Rocket wouldn't hurt us.

Ramonda: My apologies. But... whose thing is that? (points to a nearby communicator)

Shuri: (irritated) That "thing" belongs to Jake's adopted father, Rocket Raccoon.

Ramonda: (embarrassed) I didn't know. I'm sorry.

Rocket: (puts down his gun) Don't worry about it, Your Majesty. It's all good.

Ramonda: (bows) Thank you. I'll leave you three alone.

(Ramonda exits)

Rocket: (to Shuri) Sorry to freak you out, kid. I tend to forget that not everyone is used to my weapons.

Shuri: (smiling) Don't worry about me. I've seen weirder things than a raccoon with a gun.

Jake: (laughs) She's not wrong.

Rocket: (chuckles) You got me there.

(Jake and Rocket have a quiet moment together before Rocket has to leave)

Rocket: (to Jake) Take care of yourself, okay? And keep an eye on little Shuri for me.

Jake: (grinning) Of course. She's in good hands.

Rocket: (pauses) Jake... thanks for everything. For taking care of me and Groot when we needed it.

Jake: (smiling) You didn't need to thank me, Rocket. You guys are family to me.

Rocket: (emotional) You have no idea how much that means to me.

(Jake and Rocket share a hug)

Shuri: (peeking in) Aww, how cute. (teasingly) Don't get too sappy on us, guys.

Rocket: (smiling) Too late, kid.

(Jake and Shuri chuckle)

Rocket: (to Shuri) Take care of this old man, okay?

Jake: old I am 20 I say

Shuri: (playfully) Don't worry, I'll keep him in line.

Rocket: (grinning) I bet you will.

(Rocket waves goodbye before leaving)

Jake: (smiling) All right, let's go back to the center of Wakanda.

Shuri: (enthusiastic) Yes! I want to show you the latest tech project I've been working on.

Jake: (excited) Ooh, I can't wait to see it.

(The two leave hand the room, ready for more adventures in Wakanda)
