It was early-morning on Wondergore and in his room, four year-old Rocket Junior or RJ began to stir despite being tired. It was a few weeks after his grandpa, Herbie had brought the youngster to Wondergore since his parents, Nebula and Rocket along with the other Guardians were living on Planet Groot as toddlers but now he was feeling like Wondergore was his home now getting dressed in his favourite shirt which was a bit bigger, he was a growing-kit putting on his tail-armour and trousers looking at himsekf in the mirror.
"Rocket Junior, you up yet, buddy." he heard Herbert calling.
He left his room heading to the kitchen and Herbert was relieved, that RJ was up and dressed seeing Star-Rocket in his highchair as he'd climbed onto his booster-seat seeing Herbert putting breakfast in front of him. "Thanks Herbie and just got up and dressed but everything okay." the toddler-kit replied eating cereal despite eating messily making Herbert chuckle along with Star-Rocket making RJ grin.
"Yes RJ everything's okay, but maybe after I do some work, we can go to the playground." Hernert to,d him, drinking his morning coffee making RJ curious as to what was in the mug. "That's dirt buddy, lil ones like you don't need it." Herbert told him. This made RJ even more curious about this drinkable dirt seeing Star-Rocket wondering what his brother was thinking as Herbert put them in the living-room to play and Star-Rocket was in his playpen.
"We gotta try Herbie's drinkable dirt, plus he'll be busy working, so he can't stop us." RJ told him. "Yeah, I do get curious, is it another quest." Star-Rocket said to him. "I guess but cone on." RJ said as he scampered over to the playpen using his claws to open the latch as Star-Rocket got on his feet following RJ out of the living-room into the kitchen seeing Herbert's mug of coffee seeing Star-Rocket climb onto him as he wrapped his paws around the mug sipping it drinking it just as Herbert walked in. "Rocket Junior what did I tell you about coffee." he said hearing the male-kit giggling as the coffee was kicking in. "More, More, I want more." RJ yelled hyped up which bothered Herbert as the male-kit being wild terrified him and R3 as the dirt had turned RJ inti sone kind of monster.
"We've gotta turn RJ back to normal, as I want him back." R3thought seeing in his imagination, a ferocious RJ was approaching but tripped him relieving Herbert seeing RJ tired meaning the coffee was wearing off. "Atta boy, as dirt turns you into a monster but somebody needs a nap." Herbert said picking him up gently carrying him to his room tucking him into his bed, kissing his furry head leaving him be.
"Are we still going to the park, daddy." R3said making Herbert's eyes widen. "R3 did you just talk." he asked the infant star-kit just hearing noises and sighing getting an idea as he was curious making R3 facepalm as RJ was the only one that could understand him hoping his dad wouldn't keep up this idea so would talk to RJ about this after he felt better.
"Holy crutack, R3 Herbie is trying to hear you talking, don't worry we just have to be extra careful orvwe could have sone fun with this." RJ told R3. It was later that afternoon and RJ had women up from sleeping and they'd gotten back from the park having a snack unaware Herbert was watching them.
"What kind of fun are we talking about, RJ" R3 asked him.
"We could mess with Herbie, turn it into a game." RJ replied with a smirk. R3 loved when he was like this knowing he would be starting pre-school soon and RJ would be gone all day frowning. " Hey you okay, is it about what Herbie told je aboht school, don't worry, I'll come back. Then we can drive Herbie nuts." RJ assured him.
"Yep but I'll miss you all day, while you'recat school as Indon't go there, to big-people school." R3said.
"I'll tell you all aboht it when I get home, maybe Herbie will do stuff with you." RJ replied to him hugging him.
Herbert was relieved they weren't getting into shenigans after this morning knowing in a few days, RJ was starting pre-schooll knowing the chunky lil kit wasn't sure aboht it because R3wouldn't be going with him as they were close but would help him out and make him feel better plus knew it was R3's naptime scooping the infant star-kit up gentky telling RJ it was quiet-time while R3napped. "Okay Herbie, as I can play with Lego." RJ told him.
"That's so okay buddy, but we can talk aboht things after I put him down, forvan nap." he told him leaving the living-room with R3in his arms making RJ sigh getting his Legos out from the toybox in the living-room where he kept some of his toys he liked playing with. Herbert then came into the living-room saying that R3was asleep so was telling him aboht when his dad was at pre-school making him grin, he loved hearing stories about his dad at his age, sitting on his lap
