"We've gotta get him to try new foods, he's drinking app,esauce with you, isn't he
Maybe but he loves it, like his other favourite foods and treats, it's not fair to take them away, just because we want him to make better food choices, we'll talk about it when you get hoke.
"Why does mommy want to take my applesauce away, not fair I'm the prince." Rocket thought.
It was afew days later after his daddy had given him an nightlight and put glow in the dark stars on his walls which had been helping him sleep much better which relieved both Jupiter and Herbert only Jupiter was concerned about his applesauce addiction, wanting him to eat other things only Herbert knew that might upset their prince and have meltdowns which he wasn't looking forward to.
"Don't worry buddy, I'll talk to mommy." Herbert reassured him, making the infant cub relieved, he knew his daddy was the king like he'd told him when he got too carried away so he could tell her so she'd have to listen smirking, his whiskers being straight meaning he was calm which made Herbert happy plus Rocket had just woken up from his nap so was having applesauce and cookies kissing his head hearing happy purrs from him.
"I know you'll make mommy understand or I'll go on strike, I won't do what she says or eat what she puts in front of me." Rocket thought as he was drinking applesauce giggling which melted Herbert's heart hearing a vet calling him making him but also Rocket curious as he was in the pet backpack, his eyes widening along with Herbert seeing a baby female otter, hearing the vet asking, if he could help seeing Herbert nodding.
"Yes Rocket, she might be an new friend for you to play with, once I make her stronger." he said to the male-cub seeing him reaching out a paw to her seeing her doing the same weakly making Herbert smile as they gave her some sleepytime meds rushing her to the surgery room but Sacha and Simone were watching Rocket as no cub should watch surgery being performed as he played with toys until Herbert entered, making him excited hugging his dad's leg.
"Yes, buddy she's okay but resting and yes, you can try being friends when she feels better but made her stronger like you, I don't know where her mommy is." he told him scooping him up gently thanking Sacha and Simone for watching his prince hearing them say he was welcome.
"I think mama's home, let's go see." he told him heading to the hangar bay seeing Jupiter's ship making him happy but Rocket was thinking about the otter-cub he'd seen hoping she was okay.
"I have an idea on how to get youknow who to try new foods, what's going on with him." Jupiter said.
"I'll explain when we get home, Jupe." he told her as they left the hangar-bay.
"What're mommy and daddy doing, with those plates, this isn't a trick right, nope daddy wouldn't allow it if it was bad for me only Inhope this is a good idea." Rocket thought as he was in his highchair, as it was dinnertine as usual but the cub noticed something was up making them know this.
"We're just trying something new, okay buddy." Herbert told him making an anxious look cross hisfurry lil face which made Herbert sigh knowing there was no way his prince would try anything if he was scared getting an idea of turning it into a game knowing he loved games cutting the food into smiley faces so they'd look inviting to him than worry him which Jupiter found a good idea as she put the plates in front of Rocket making Rocket curious about what was happening but liked the smiley faces reaching out for the goldfish crackers impressing Jupiter.
"Good boy Rockie, as it's okay to try new foods." he told Rocket seeing him munching which was good.
"Sshhh honey, as this is good for him plus you said he made an new friend." Jupiter told Herbert
"Yep, there's a baby otter at the vet's that he's curious about." Herbert said to her offering Rocket a marshmallow which he was loving making him and Jupiter laugh at him snatching marshmallows from Herbert which was cute knowing this was a good thing hearing giggles from him enjoying this game.
"These fluffy things are really good, I want some more." Rocket thought smirking.
"Let's try some more new foods, okay buddy." Herbert heard Jupiter say.
That next morning, Herbert wanted to check on that otter knowing Rocket would want to come, hearing he was awake but making pop tarts for them, hearing him saying they were going to check on that female otter out making him excited because he wanted to meet her, he didn't have many friends right now, but maybe this lil otter could be his first friend, explaining she was still recovering from getting cybernetics seeing she was in bandages like him after that.
"But she'll get better like I did, then we can play, but what's her name." Rocket thought watching his dad and the vet were checking it out hearing the female-otter infant whimpering as they were doing this astounding them seeing Rocket hold her paw gently which they found sweet, guessing they were becoming friends leaving them be.
"He looks sweet, and his dad is nice, he found me and made me stronger, yet still have to rest." she thought looking at him as Rocket was by her side seeing Herbert and the vet returning, hearing the female otter's name was Lylla.
"Wow, that's a pretty name, hi Lylla, I'm Rocket wanna be friends." Rocket thought looking at her seeing her smile at him and he smiled back gently taking in her scent but she was taking in his scent too, which Herbert got, knowing he had to go check on the rest of Wondergore telling Rocket he could stay with Lylla until he got back seeing the vet giving Lylla some pain meds as Rocket was curious about what he was doijg.
"Just giving Lylla some meds to help her handle the surgery like when you had that surgery." the get told him.
"Ohhhh Inremember that, it hurt for a few weeks but after that, Istarted feeling better." Rocket thought.
Lylla grinned weakly, enjoying the company the male-cub was giving her which the vet approved of, knowing that he should visit because it would help her feel better which Herbert loved the idea if deciding to keep this from Jupiter.
