How did he even get onto the Milano without the others knowing, did they think it was me? No way besides Groot would figure it out because I speak Groot, yet Meeko can't!

It was a few days later and after making new armour, Rocket was supposed to be going off-planet to Half-world, his planetfora visit, only Meeko had been playingdress-up with Casey, put thdarmouron so theotbersincluding theotherGuardians thought the mit was him, which was kind of funny, plus Half-worldwas notdangerous, it wouldremind Meeko of home, still he had to get him back, as his human friendwas visiting.

"Casey, you have yourspaceship ,icence, right, thibk you can help me?" he asked his young niece.

"It'sa learner'spermit, but sure, I can't believe uncle Meeko went on a Guardians mission, andsorry, everybody thought he wasyou, wewere just playing." the female kit rep,.

She had just assed her spaceship driving-test, and gotten herlearner's permit in Avenger Scouts so her parents and Rocket allowed her to take the cockpit when she had it like now, hopimg Meeko was alright, makimg Rocket agree, maybe the others had figured it out by now, hoping they were notmadat Meeko approaching Half-world seeing the Milano was there.

"Wow, this is so cool, too bad Rocket's not here, we could have a lot of fun climbing trees among other things." Meeko murmured, after he and the others had left the Milano as it made him excited yet reminded him of home, feelimg a wave of homesickness fill his stomach, makimg Groot understand, as Rocket had told him aboutMeeko's home feeling the little kit climb onto his back, like Rocket when he was smaller like Meeko, with baby claws makimg him grin.

"I am Groot." he told him gently as they were waliking, seeimg Casey and Rocket show up, relieving the others making Rocket chuckle softly seeing Meeko on Groot guessinghis best friend had figured it out , seeing the others agreeing.

"He let Mantis snuggle him, which is not like you, he also didn't know how to drive which you can, he also didn't arguewith me." Starlord pointed out makimg Rocket get it remindingthe kit they had to get going, seeing Meeko nod, looking longingly at the forest, hearing Rockettell him theywould come back, seeing him scamper down off Groot gently goimg over to Rocket, hugging him making him chuckle, surprising the others.

"We're brothers, it's what we do." Meeko said seeing them stunned.

"Are you from here, like yourbro?" Starlord asked him.

"Nope, I live on Earth." Meeko said to him.

Rocket got nervous, and protective, being older than Meeko, he knew what Starlord would do, tellimg Meeko to go wait in the ship with Casey, seeing him do that making Starlord chuckle at that, as Mantis was using her empath powers to cool them down, before somethinghappened seeing Rocket walking to his ship makimgCasey guess what had happened, deciding not to talk about it in frontof Meeko, which Rocketfelt was a good idea, looking to thepassenger seat seeimg the kit wasasleep.

"Awww, he must be tired, at least we'll be back, when his friend Poca gets here." Casey said.

Rocket had been so concerned about Meeko being in space, he hadforgotten all about that, as Casey understood her uncle's anxiety because sometimes Poca got mad at some of the things her uncle had let Meeko do, like the pina-colada thing and she knew Meeko had powers, they just called it super-magic, maybe Meeko could explain how thisadventure had happened, so shemight notget mad at Rocket, or think it washis idea hoping she would belid e him if Meeko did tell her.

"Are you okay, why do you look scared, or like you had too much cookies?" Meeko asked.

They were back at the compound, and were having a snack, seeing Poca there, scampering overto her, hugging her leg knocking her over makimg her laugh, knowing he had missed her, hearing her ask, shere Rocket was, makimg Meeko getwhy his brotherhadlooked likehe had eaten too many cookies, but Poca was nice and connected to Nature plus could talk to animals makimg the Native-American girl understand, wanting to explain, knowing how.

"Remember how Vanellope would chase after you, and made you scared where you hide under the table?" she began.

"Yeah, the scary purple-hired girl, what does this have to do, with Rockie?" Meeko told her.

"I think he'ss ared of me, because he thinks I might not let you two hang out, but I see it makes the both of you happy, you should talk to him." Poca replied giving Meeko an idea, draggimg her to where he knew Rocket would be.

He was hanging out with Groot, seeing him jump, seeing Poca making Meeko surprised by this, seeing Poca staringat Groot in surprise explaining to his brother, that even though they had crazy adventures like today, Poca would still letthem hang out and let him live here which Rocket appreciated, feeling her scratching behind his ears, which was helping him relax a little.

"You shouldn't be worried, as Meeko told me how much fun he has with you, which makes me happy." she told him with Meeko watching seeimg his brother relax around Poca, knowing his two worlds were merging perfectly seeing Rocket agree.

"That went well, you know, plus Poca isn't so bad." Rocket said.

"I told you, plus we get to have more adventures, right?" Meeko said later.

"Yep, and thimgs will get intresting, you know?" Rocket replied to hem.
