"Why's there a tree inside, your friends didn't cut it down?" Meeko asked nervously, makimg Rocket understand knowing his friend didn't get what Christmas was, but he could teach him since he knew about Thanksgiving, placing a paw on his furry shoulder.

"They didn't, it's a sythnetic one, it wasn't cut down, but it's for a special holiday this time of year." he said.

"Is it to do with trees, this special holiday?" Meeko asked, making Rocket snort at that.

"Nope kiddo, it's called Christmas, and a lot of fun, you'll see." he said seeing the others bringing boxes of ornaments down, making Rocket chuckle, seeing Meeko's eyes widen seeing boxes full of shiny ornaments, holding him back, before he could get his paws on any of them, despite having to explain why, making Kamala giggle because she thought it was cute.

"It's alright, as he's just curious, plus Hulk almost wrecked some himself, bringing them down, your friend can help decorate." she said making Rocket guess it was alright.

"Why do they have these shiny things out, for the tree?" Meeko asked.

"Yes at Christmas we decorate them and make them pretty, then on Christmas Eve, presents go under them, for everybody to open on Christmas, but guess you don't have Christmas where you're from, right?" Kamala explained seeing Meeko nod.

"Yeah as this stuff is awesome, and shiny, we don't have it at home, Poca and the others would love it!" he said juggling baubles making Rocket nervous in case he dropped any, seeing Casrud catch some, relieving him, guessing she wanted to help, seeing her nod, helping things move smoother.

"Sorry about that, I just got carried away." Meeko said.

"It's alright uncle, it happens this time of year." Casrud said to him.

She was excited for the holidays herself, giving her family gifts, eating a huge meal together, among other things making Meeko impressed by her describing what happened this time of the year, astounded it was his first one of sorts, making Rocket understand, explaining that where Meeko lived, they celebrated Winter making her understand, wanting to make it awesome seeing Rocket agree.

"The holidays are also about family, besides the other things." Casrud told him.

"Ohhh that does sound cool, Poca would love this holiday." Meeko replied.

"Poca is his human pal, that he lives with, kiddo." Rocket replied.

Casrud got it, thinking it was cute that her other uncle had a friend, like Rocket having Groot, besides his Avenger friends, making Rocket nod, a bit distractddseeing mistletoe makimg Casrud grin, confusing Meeko, by shy.

"He has a mate, Lylla, so they might kiss, under the mistletoe." Casrud told him, making Rocket sigh, shaking his furry head at his niece's words making the others woncer why Rocket was freaking out.

"Nothing, really!" Rocket snapped making Meeko nervous, at his tone making Casrud get it, assuring him that sometimes this time of year, people got a little cranky or yelled when they didn't mean it, relieving him, feeling her hug him which was helping him feel better, guessing his friend needed a time out.

"Are you feeling better, after earlier?" Meeko asked Rocket later that night/early morning while in the kitchen seeing him nodding in reply while making drinks for them hopimg he would not get the kit in trouble, if he got hyper.

"Yeah kit, plus hanging out with Lylla helped too, she's very important to me." Rocket replied to him, handing him a tumbler of non-alcholic pina colada, seeing him drinking, making Rocket smirk, knowing it would just make the kit hyper but tired the next morning.

"Woah, you guys are having fun, eh?" Casrud said seeing Rocket and Meeko nod in agreement, as they were listening to holiday music making Casrud giggle at this hoping the others were not awake.

"They're deep sleepers, unless a mission happens." Rocket assured her, seeing her getting soda from the fridge, making Meeko grin at this but knew that she was going to be just as tired in the morning, which she would not mind.

Right now, both males were dressed in Christmas outfits, as Casrud was taking photos using her phone, trying not to giggle hysterically, at what was happening before her, knowing the others would agree, seeing her uncle dressed as a snowman while Meeko was dressed as a Christmas tree.

"We look good right?" Rocket asked her, as she nodded, posting the photos onto her Instagram, knowing the others would get a kick later when they saw, seeing it wassunrise, feeling tired getting rest..


What's going n, what's so funny?" Rocket asked the next morning.

He had no idea that Casrud had put the photos of what they had been doing last night onto Instagram, which the others had seen and loving much to his shock and embarrasement.

"It's alright, as it's funny, you gotta admit that." Carol heard Kamala say.

"I guess, but you should have asked me, if you could do that." Rocket said to Casrud, seeing the female kit nod in agreement hoping the others would find it funny and cute, like Kamala did.
