"Woah, you're sending Thrud to boarding school, in Asgard, is she alright with this?" Rocket asked, after Thor had told him while they were hanging out, knowing that Casey was not going to be happy when she heard Thrud tell her and the other kids.
"Yes she is okay with it, once we told her that she could visit on weekends along with the holidays, but we should wait until later to tell the others." Thor told him while they were drinkimg mead hopimg that the other kids would take it well, knowing Casey would freak out, when Thrud told her seeing Sif agree tellimg Thrud to wait until a few days which made the blonde-haired Asgardian female feel bad, because Casey was her best friend and lime a sister to ner, plus her uniform for Asgard Elementary makimg Casey curious, as to that kids wore uniforms at Asgardian school.
"Oh boy, I hope she doesn't figure it out, or she'll flip." Thrud said to herself makimg a ed expression cross Casey's furry face, makimg Cassie and Monica exchange a look, because Thrud had told them about her goimg to Asgard Elementary, makimg tbem promise not to tell Casey just yet, knowing she might flip out seeing her with Yama relieving Thrud feelimg bad deciding she had to tell her, making Cassie and Monica nervous, in case Casey's reaction was not good, hearing Thrud telling her, makimg Casey surprised, askimg if she'd done something bad, that had made Sif and Thor decide to send Thrud to boarding school, making Thrud surprised.
"No it's not because I did something ad, my parents felt ghat Asgard Elementary was better, than school on this planet." she told Casey makimg her sad but concealing it, making Thrud surprised, that Casey had taken it so well, knowimg that she'd want to go with her to her new school so it migjt make her feel better about this new change, msking Rocket, Sif and Thor impressed, hoping she wouldn't come up with a plan, to break Thrud out of her new school..
"I think she's hiding how se really feels about Thrud going to her new school, we should give her some alone time, you know?" Sif heard Kamala tell them, making Rocket decide to go check on Casey, hearing laser blasts from where he did target practice, seeing Casey hitting targets using her laser bladt power which was shooting out of her paws, makimg him impressed yet nervous.
"Casey you alright, is this to do with Thrud leaving forher new school?" he asked her.
"M-maybe, as you do this, or set off fireworks, when anxious or upset." she admitted.
"Awww kitdo, I know how you feel." he told her.
"Really, how?" Casey asked sniffling.
"Yep, when Thruds's dad goes back to Asgard, as like you and Thrud, her dad and I are best friends, we do funny stuff together like the TikTok stuff you and Thrud did, she's not gone forever, she can visit on the weekends and the holidays, plus we can visit her and you can video-chat with her, like TikTok." he told her hugging her, feeling her baby claws dig in a little.
"Oops sorry, that happens sometimes." Casey told him giving him an idea, as he felt she was old enough to have some mead, telling her to not tell the others, following him to the kitchen, as they were sitting at the kitchrn table pouring mead into mugs making Casey surprised hearing her uncle say, this helped him feel better when Thor had to go to Asgard sometimes makimg her get it sipping and liming it, gulpimg, as her uncle poured more.
Rocket was a little surprised as normally his ideas worked, but his niece was getting tipsy, knowing she'd sleep well since Thrud was leaving in a few days for Ashard Elementary, saving some mead for that day, knowing Casey might need it like tonight, hopimg the others including Lylla wouldn't be mad at him, for giving her mead as it was helping her relax hearing her giggling, singing which was kind of cute, recording it on his phone.
"Okay I think you've had enough mead for tonight." he said.
"I'll tell you when I've had enough!" she said hissimg.
He couldn't help but smile with pride at her reply, because it was cute, hearing her calming down, getting her some coffee, as that would help soften the hangover blow for her, knowing wnat Lylla and Casey did for him, when he was like this, seeing her a little calmer after drinking coffee, hiccupimg which was kind of more adorable recording on his phone, scoopimg her up gently, lime when she had been Shocket's age, when he used to babysit her.
Hr knew when she was littler, and not wanting to sleep, he would tell her bedtime stories about a superheroic kit she loved, guessing that might make her feel better, knowing he had gotten hdr into mead but only when she needed it, goimg to her room turning on her nightlight getting her MP3 player, pressing the record button, telling her a Raccoon Girl story inspired by what was going on with her and Thrud seeimg she was likimg it relieving him.
After finishing, he kissed her furry head seeing her asleep knowing she'd be sleeping the entire day, leaving her room going to his and Lylla's room, hearing her ask, if Casey was feelimg better, seeing him nod.
It was a few days/nights later and the night before Thrud was leaving for Asgard Elementary the next morning makimg Cassie, Monica and Yama along with Rocket keeping an eye on Casey, because of Thrud leaving seeing the female kit acting like she was okay making Rocket decide to give her mead again later to help her feel better, plus Casey had given her best Asgardian friend a gift which zThrud loved, sensing she was sad about her going to her new school, huggimg her.
"I nust need some alone time, alrigjt!" she said running off on all fours.
"She just needs to cool down, alright?" Rocket assured Thrud.
He guessed she was doing target practice again, hopimg the other kids didn't see, but they could hear her yellimg, makimg Thrud surprised along with the other kids, seeing fireworks going off, impressing Rocket, hopimg Carol would not think it was him doing that after ladt time, remembering to give his niece mead later to relax her, tellimg her to ta,e deep breaths which was relaxing her goimg to her room makig him and the kids relieved, askimg what was going on, hearing Thrud say, that Casey was sad about her goimg to her new school.
"We should let her be, plus I know something that'll calm her down later, which helped a few nights ago." Rocket told them, shich Yama knew about and had promised Casey not to tell the others, guessimg she'd have some tonight with her uncle supervising her, remembering what he had shown him on his phone which was cute going to check on her, seeimg her asleep, relieved aboyt that.
Later that night/early morning he and Casey were hanging out, eating leftovers because Casey had slept through dinner, plus drinkimg a t of mead making Rocket grin, recording on his phone, knowing she would sleep well the rest of the next day, seeing her eating rainbow cupcakes, getting frosting all over her furry face, making Rocket take a photo, because it was sweet, hearing her giggling and singing hoping the adults did not hear, as he was helping Casey feel better.
"Oh boy, let's get you cleaned up, and into bed, alright?" he said putting the mead in the fridge, scooping her up going to her room, tucking her in, telling her another bedtime story, which was helping her relax
The next morning, he alomg with Sif and Thor were taking Thrud to Asgard Elementary, in the Milano, hearing Thrud ask where Casey was, hearing him say she was sleeping making the female Asgardian youngster wonder, if her best furry pal was okay, makimg Rocket sigh, knowing Thrud would freak, if she knew that he had given Casey mead, saying Casey had been up listening to podcasts or to her night-forest
"Give her this, when you come back to the compound, alright?" she said giving Rocket a wrapped box, making him nod saying he would as they took off...
