"Let me back in mommy please, I'll do whatever you want, it's cold out here." Rocket begged crying scratching on the trunk of the tree his family called home, no respinse which made the infant kit sad. He decided to go find a tree of his own that was safe and warm but he wasn't feeling good but his eyes widened in happiness seeing stars. "Daddy always talked abiut the stars and that if you wish on them, it could come true, starlight, starbright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, wish I might have the wish I wish tonight, I wish for an jice family who wants me, who doesn't care I'm arunt." he mumbled sleepily. He then was asleep lost in dreams unaware his wish might be coming true and Herbert was surprised, as he'd seen Elanor throw the kit out of the tree wanting to take care of him.
"Thank you star for granting my wish." Rocket weakly whispered while in Herbert's arms.
Rocket was in his room using his telescope to do stargazing, one of his favourite night-time things he did once Herbert had fallen asleep but seeing the wishing star pass by Wondergore had reminded him, of how Herbert had found him wanting to wish on it deciding to let other kids who needed it's magic more to wish on it. "Thanks wishing star and hope you help another lil kit who needs help, especially if they're a runt." he whispered softly yawning.
It was gery late and way past the kit's bedtime yet he wanted to stay up with the stars but then his imagination turned the stars into constellations which he knew about from a book that Herbert had read to him, only he imagined a constellation of him being hugged by Herbert making his brownish eyes widen in awe. "Wait until I tell daddy later…" he said drawing it so he could show Herbert passing out. Herbert came into Rocket's room seeing him asleep on the floor near his telescope guessing he'd been star-gazing plus smiled seeing his drawing.
"Ohhhhh my lil prince, you're adorable, and love everything about you, including yohr love of the stars. You can tell me about your drawing later." he told him while tucking him back into bed kissing hisfurry head putting his star stuffie near him seeing him hugging it in sleep. Herbert returned to his room getting into bed but heard that an armoured chunky male-raccoon was searching for his son who'd been kicked out of his family making him realise that was Rocket's birth-father sighing yawning tucking himself into bed loving being Rocket's adoptive father hoping Rocket Senior would give up his search falling asleep.
That next morning, he found Rocket asleep on his bed which he found sweet stroking behind Rocket'sfurry ear seeing hisstar pyjamas which were his favourite ones wrapping his arms around him hearing snorts and Rocket'ssleep sounds which melted his heart kissing his head.
