The next morning, Peter walked with Gamora to the living area, where Tori was still sound asleep on the couch. She was curled up in a ball, hugging the stuffed dragon close to her. The sheet she was covered up in, was kicked to the floor and her curly hair, no longer in a pony tail, covered her small, diamond shaped face.

Peter smiled and wrapped an arm around Gamora's waist. She smiled back and kissed his cheek. "She sleeps like an angel."

Peter laughed. "That's a new one."

Gamora laughed along with him. "Are you going to keep count of every new thing I say?"

Her smirked at her, as she looked up at him. "Yeah." He kissed her and gestured for her to wake Tori up.

"You don't want to come with?" She whispered. He shook his head. 'You're an ass.' She mouthed.

Peter smirked. 'I know.' He mouthed back.

Gamora shook her head and walked towards the young girl. She carefully sat down next to her and gently shook her shoulder. "Victoria."

The young girl's eyes fluttered open. Tori sleepily looked at Gamora. The green woman laughed at the hair covering her face and pushed it out of her eyes. "Hi." She said with a yawn.

'Good morning." Gamora replied with a soft smile.

"Are we on Xandar yet?" She asked sitting up.

Gamora smiled. "No, but we are close."

"Okay, then-" Tori sat up and started to grab her things. "I'll get ready to head out." Gamora laid a hand on top of Tori's.

"Victoria, would you like to stay with us? You're still just a young girl and we don't want you leaving on your own." Tori pulled her hand away.

"But, I don't even know you." Gamora frowned.

"Well, I guess we'll get to know each other then." Tori smiled at her. She looked over at Peter, who was smiling back at the both of them. Gamora gestured for him to walk over to them.

"What do you say, Kid? Are you staying with us?" Peter asked as he sat next to Gamora. The two adults stared at the girl with hope in their eyes and a soft smile upon their lips.

She thought long and hard about it. 'What if this is a trick?' She thought. 'What if they bring me back to dad? Although, Gamora said she hated Thanos. It's clear that Rocket doesn't want me to stay. Did he really agree to this? What if my dad put a bounty on me? Would they bring me back to him for the money?' She didn't know why she was thinking like that. It was clear that Gamora had fallen deeply in love with the poor girl when she first locked eyes with her. She looked at the couple in front of her and smiled.

Peter walked into the meeting area and stood on the stairs that led up to the cockpit, where Rocket and Groot were piloting. "Hey, just to let you know, we have a new Guardian." He shouted up to them as he quickly made his exit.

"Quill!" Rocket shouted back. "I'm going to kill you when I put this on auto-pilot! Quill? Quill!" He glanced behind him to see that left.

Peter ran through the halls of the Milano until he bumped into someone. He looked underneath him to see something green staring back at him.

"Peter, what did you do now?" Gamora asked with an expressionless face.

He smirked. "I told Rocket and Groot about Tori."

"I thought we were going to tell all the guys together." She sighed, then laughed. "You act like such a child at times."

"I know but, you have to admit, you love me more when I act like a little kid." Gamora chuckled, pushed him off of her and switched their positions.

"I'm not going to admit that." She kissed him. "But, I do love you." She got off of him and helped him up. The two walked to the living area, where Tori was no where to be found.

"Where's Tori?" Peter asked looking around the room.

"She's getting settled in her cabin."

"We don't have an extra cabin." He asked confusedly.

"I let her have mine." Gamora said folding up the sheet Tori used the night before.

"Where are you gonna sleep?"

Gamora chuckled and set the folded sheet on the coffee table. She walked up to Peter and put her arms around his neck. "Where I always sleep."

"That's a big step. Are you sure?"

"Positive. I trust you, Peter."

Peter smiled at her and wrapped his arms around her waist as he pulled her closer. "You should've asked to move in with me. That was very rude on your part." He teased her.

"You were going to ask sooner or later." She replied with a smirk.

Peter laughed. "I won't deny that."

Rocket walked into the room just as they had finished their conversation. "Jesus!" He threw his arms up in the air and looked at the pair in disgust. His loud voice made the couple jump. "Get a room!" He yelled as he started to walk in the opposite direction.

"He needs a girlfriend." Gamora said with a chuckle.

"He has one. Her name is anything lethal and explosive." The pair chuckled for a minute. "Oh! Wait a sec." He pulled out of their embrace and walked over to his stereo. He placed Awesome Mix Vol. 2 in it and turned it up. A loud groan, that came from Rocket, filled the Milano, along with the upbeat lyrics of September.

Peter held out his hand for Gamora. "I'm not dancing."

"Why are you so stubborn? You dance all the time."

Gamora tried to hold her blush in, but couldn't. "I do not."

"When I play my music in the morning you do!" She scoffed. "When you are getting ready!" She playfully hit him upside the head.

"How did you know that?" She asked.

Blush filled both of Peter's cheeks. "I might have accidentally walked in on you, one day, when you were getting dressed." She raised another hand to his head. Peter caught it before she could slap him again and continued talking. "I gotta say, you have sexy hips!" Gamora laughed.

"You are so charming." As soon as he let go of her hand, she slapped him again. He grabbed both of her wrists and forced her to dance with him. She rolled her eyes playfully and let him pull her around the room.

The loud giggling of the two adults drew Tori towards them. She looked at them in confusion. "What are you doing?"

Peter let go of Gamora and ran up to Tori, picking her up and tossing her in the air. "We're dancing." He caught her and started to twirl her around the room. The sight made Gamora's heart melt and made her laugh at the same time. The three Guardians continued to dance until the music stopped.

"That was fun!" Tori announced, panting. "I've never danced in my whole life!" She giggled.

Peter's and Gamora's smiles turn to frowns as they looked at each other in concern.

"We should do that again, sometime!" She exclaimed, as she ran out of the room.

Peter and Gamora were facing each other in bed. His arm was wrapped around Gamora's stomach, while his other hand was intertwined with her's as she used it as a pillow. Her eyes were closed while his were still open in concern. "What's on your mind, Peter?" Gamora asked, with her eyes closed.

"How did you-"

"You move a lot when you are asleep; you are staying completely still right now. Plus, mods. I can sense that your eyes aren't shut."

"That's not creepy at all." Gamora opened her eyes and glared at him. "Fine. It still bothers me that Tori didn't even know what dancing was. I mean Ronan was a complete dumbass, so it didn't surprise me that he didn't know what dancing was, but Tori; she's a smart girl. Plus, she said she's never experienced what fun is like."

"She reminds me of myself when I was younger. I was about her age, maybe a little bit younger, when Thanos took me. Over those years, I forgot what having fun felt like and then I met you. You taught me what it felt like to have fun, again, maybe you can teach Tori, as well." She said with a hopeful smile.

Peter kissed her forehead. "We'll do it together." She smiled back at him. Soon enough, they were both able to fall back asleep.
