"What was the idea, you were gonna tell me on Knowhere." Casey heard Rocket ask.

It was early-evening and Casey and Rocket were home butvafter doing her homework, they were having a dinner of shwarma and she hoped he wouldn't laugh, if she told him the idea she'd came up with taking a deep-breath before speaking. "It was about combining Christmas with Hannukah if it's not a bad one." she told him seeing a big grin on his furry face. "I love it kiddo and guess you're a smart lil kit ohhh I have something for you speaking of this." he told her seeing her eyes widen, seeing a little Christmas tree.

"Thanks big brother, when does Hannukah start, plus Branchie and I can decorate it in ohr room." she told him. "Soon kiddo, and I have a lot to do includihg Knowhere's holiday celebrations." he told her seeing her feeding Branchie shwarma hearing her giggling. "That's right Branchie, you see the tree Rockie got us." she told the female-sapling hearing her giggle.

"I am Groot, I am Groot." she replied drinking soda making Rocket smile as right now, she reminded him of Groot as a sapling and was talking to Nebula making him smile. He was also getting a message from Ms Stripes asking him to cone to her shelter in the morning making him curious hearing soft giggling, guessing Branchie and Casey were decorating the holiday tree in their room. He was knowing that Casey would want to come visit her friends in the shelter so was telling her at bedtime making her excited. "Of course I wanna come plus bring them some of that Jewish candy Ms Stripes would give us this time of year." she replied to hij making him grin. "Sure we can bring gelt." Rocket replied to her.

That next morning, after breakfast of latkes, Casey ahdRocket left the house heading to where Ms Stripes's sheoter forcStray and Homeless Kits but Casey saw her friends playing in the snow but also Tyrell who was a mean big kit seeing him throwing snowballs hard annoying Rocket at the teenage-kit's behaviour seeing Ms Stripes there telling the kits to come inside along with Casey and Rocket seeing Casey hug her leg, making the youndvadult raccoon-female giggle. "It's good to see you hobey and yes, you can give your friends gelt, as they were asking me when they could have some, and Rocket told je he's been teaching you about Hannukah." she said seeingvthe female-kit smile leaving her with Rocket.

"Casey youbcame to visit and you brought gelt awesome." she heard her friends say. "You're welcome as Rocket has it at home and he let me bring some." she told them paw-bumping which made them giggle. "We heard that Raccoon Girl is gonna light the Christmas tree in Rockerfeller Center which we heard on the news." they told her stunning her as this was the first time she'd heard this.

"That's cool and a lot of kits love her." she replied to them unaware Rocket had heard knowing Casey loved watching him and the other Guardians light the tree in Knowhere City and she'd get to, which he wasn't missing plus he wanted to take her to Temple which they could do after the tree lighting but kept the fact she was Raccoon Girl a secret from others but knew the other kits in the city would be excited.

He was surprised that Ms Stripes asked him to help with gifts nodding and knew Casey would want to help too.


"Where're we going, Rockie and hope I did a good job of lighting the holiday tree, like you with the one in Knowhere City." Casey asked Rocket. It was early-evening in Brooklyn and Casey as Raccoon Girl had lit the holiday tree at Rockerfeller Center and Rocket had been proud of her but was taking her to Temple knowing she'd love it. "You'll see bubbelah and you'll love it." Rocket told her making her curious but in awe seeing the Temple in front of her as they went inside

"Wow, this is so cool and relaxing where're we." she asked him. "Welcome to Temple bubbelah." Rocket told her

She was enjoying being at Temple plus saw her eyes wide, glistenihg with joy but also joyful tears fall down her cheeks as that was how he'd felt the first time he went to Temple. "I was like this too my first time too, which is good." he told her squeezing her paw gently introducing her to the rabbi and he was welcoming her to Temple.

Later that night after returning to their house, Casey felt tired as she was getting ready for bed making Rocket chuckle hearing her asking if she could go to Temple again with him. "Sure kiddo as I can tell you enjoyed it, and you have something on your mind." he told her. "I wanna be Jewish and celebrate Hannukah like you." she told him.

"We'll talk about it in the morning, honey." he told her kissing her goodnight leaving the room, going to hisroom and was getting ready for bed knowing tonight had been an incredible night.
