"This is the best party ever, thanks guys as we're having fun and I did okay during my bar mitzvah right like my torah portion and my speech, I hope I didn't let you guys down." RJ said to Nebula and Rocket

"You did great bubbelah and your speech was very heartfelt which we sensed and you're welcome as turning thirteen is a big deal only we noticed you didn't invite any friends from school, just Rockai but that's okay." Rocket replied to him makihg RJ gulp. What his parents didn't know was that he was an introvert and didn't have many friends at school and declined social invitations unless it was Rockai and dreaded group projects in class hoping his parents didn't find out seeing his younger sibs enjoying the trampolines and doing stunts making him giggle as they were playing with Star-Rocket's sibs.

"They were too busy with things and didn't want to get in their fur." he said seeing Rockai there.

"Just relax mate, everybody that loves you is here, so it's okay." he said kissing his furry cheek.

"Arigatou buddy as they're brave and not afraid to talk to others compared to me." he replied

The party was in full swing and all the family was here including the entire Rocket Dynasty which made RJ happy, plus he'd stuttered during reading his torah portion but he'd used Rockai's trick of faking confidence like Rocke when off stage which had helped the male-kit through it so relieved it was party time plus he'd did the being lifted in the chair which had been fun and an awesome photo but hungry hearing his stomach growling making Rockai giggle.

"Didn't you have a snack after the ceremony, let's get something." he told hij. RJ grinned eating vegan burritoes being a Therian raccoon-kit he didn't eat meat which his parents, Herbert and Grandpa Marshmallow understood and accepted but he didn'tvreveal this to his peers at middle-school even though he ate salad at lunch knowing he got asked questions only Rockai told them.

"Ummmm is that your drone foying around, RJ." Nebula asked pointing to a drone flying around annoying the male-kit knowing who it belojged to. "It belongs to a jerk in ohr class who tries to be our friend but he's not." Rockai explained seeing Casey destroy it using a laser-blast from her paw blowing the drone up making Rocket excited, that an explosion had happened hoping the drone's owner wasn't too mad.

"Raccoon Girl shoots, she so scores and saves the party." she said makingRocket smirk wondering what kind of antics happened at RJ's school seeing the teenage-kit shrug his shoulders in reply.

"Thanks for blowing up Zeke'sdrone, cuz." he whispered to Casey.

"You're welcome, we introverts gotta stick together." she whispered back.

They were having afive course meal but sitting at tables but RJ had Rockai and Star-Rocket at his table with his family and grandfather feeling good and feeling the love.

"Ohhhhhh the beignets are so good uncle Steamie and you gotta make these for Hannukah asthey're deep-fried and see why uncle Rocke loves them so much." RJ praised Steamboat Rocket making him grin. It was later that night so while his younger cousins were getting ready for bed, RJ was still up with his dad and some of his uncles stargazing but Steamboat had given them beignets which were one of hisfamous recipes.

"You're welcome kiddo, and yeah Rocke loves my beignets like everybody else, want sone moonshine." he replied making Rocket Senior nervous as RJ might be a teen but not an adult grabbing the jug from Steamboat's black paws before his grand-kit got tipsy knowing Rocket would het angry if that happened.

"Somebody looks sleepy after a lomg day so could use hot cocoa to help you sleep." Rocket Senior told him going inside and making hot cocoa for RJ making some for Nebula and Rocket as it had been a lomg day so they needed to relax thanking Grandpa Marshmallow

"You're welcome guys as it was fun." he told them
