Something's wrong with him, he must have the flu, probably from those fangirls who were snugglinng him, at least it's not that bug, we have our vaccines just in case it happens, he might not be performing tonight, I should tell the others just in case.

Piper was worried, Rockie was not feeling himself, he was coughijg, sneezing feelijg feverish and not the best he could be knowing it was Osaka Flu season making her worried knowing he needed to rest, he was slumped on the couch being brave making Piper understand placing a hand on his furry head feelijg he was red hot with sweaty paws hearing his voice was scratchy from being sore bringing him ice-tea one of his favourite drinks for his throat.

"Everything will be okay, you need meds, rest but TLC to get back on your paws which I can help with, let me help you." Piper told him seeing his nose was leaking handing him tissues for it

"Arigatou Yoko, my nose hurts…" he said feeling sleepy as she picked him up gently taking him to their room and tucking him into bed as she placed a cold cloth on his furry head to bring the fever down taking a photo to show their bandmates what was going on with her furboy letting him rest seeing Shocket excitable about spikeball makijg Piper sigh.

"Shocket this isn't the best time, your dad is resting." she told her.

"Really, he's not performing tonight." Shocket replied.

"Yes, we have to let him rest-" she said hearing Groot enter, he was worried for his furry friend after seeing the photo Piper had sent them, hearing him ask if Rockie was okay as she could understand the treelike being's tongue through her translator.

"He's resting now, and has flu after snuggling fangirls." she replied.

Casey understood peeking into her dad and Piper's room hearing Beatles music seeing her dad in bed sleeping with a cold cloth on his furry head but not wearing shades which made sense, leaving him be to rest seeing Groot there.

"SSH, my dad is asleep, I feel bad for him, we should make him some soup." she told him.

"I am Groot, I am Groot." Groot replied making him smile.

"Why is Groot-chan here." Rockie said weakly.

This frightened Groot stroking his friend's furry head gently with a vine-like hand which Casey found sweet seeing Piper join them, seeing her furboy calm as she'd called his doctor to examine him only hearing something smash guessing Shocket was behind it, seeing she had been playing spikeball looking worried.

"It was just a vase, relax Piper." Shocket said annoyed.

"That doesn't matter, no spikeball in the house, I regret Howard giving it to you." she heard Piper say annoying Shocket, deciding to go to Linda's house, packing sneaking out before Casey or her step-mom saw.

Meanwhile Casey and Piper were in the kitchen, making soup for Rock-E to help him feel better while Groot was helping Rock-E feel better noticing Shocket was quiet after the spikeball thing pouring soup into a thermos so her musical furboy could drink it up tellijg Casey to give it to her dad, seeing her do so making her stunned that Shocket was not there sighing, goijg to check on her furboy.

"Relax, Shockie's with Linda did you make soup." Rock-E asked coughing.

"Yes soup is very good for those who're sick." Piper replied to him.

"We put our love in it, dad." Casey replied.

"Thankssweetie." he said softly
