Of goats and trees
Summary: In which Groot tries to befriend Shade. This was probably a bad idea once both owners noticed that one is a talking tree and the other is a goat.
Shade was a very special goat, special indeed she only lived outside if her father deem it in other words sunlight is good for goats and too much shade is bad. She pooped outside only to poop and never did it inside for she was a very well and very trained goat.
Until one day strangers walked inside the tower saying the globe was coming to an end and all is doomsdays and we shall all burn in hell because we've upset and ticked off a God. Blah, blah, blah, thought Shade the goat and then they had to battle an evil alien named Thanos. Whom had a nice little hobby in collecting shiny crystals and golden gloves. Thanos didn't make it though and quickly died allowing them to have the nice shiny crystals and pretty glove which Shade the goat was never allowed to touch. There for never allowed to eat and there for never allowed to gulp them down her throat no matter how much she wanted or missed food, which was very rarely since she got three meals per day all in vegetables and fruit of course.
Then the worst happened.
Shade had to meet a tree this tree off course came from space and there for name Groot, it clearly talked because apparently all trees talk in space for some what reasons there were trees in space. For somewhat reasons there was a talking raccoon by the name of Rocket whom didn't come from earth. As one would think all raccoons would come from instead it came from space and could talk English. Much better then Shade knew English leaving her very baffled and very confused on why this was a thing and what an earth they were on about because Shade didn't know nor care. She was just lost and confused and wanted to eat those shiny rocks instead of that tree branch.
But the battle has one and her so-called human of a father wanted her to befriend a tree. A tree. Goats ate wood which came from trees meaning she was going to eat this damn talking and very much moving plant. Infant or not. She was gonna to eat it. If only this damn lead wasn't on her she would've been able to eat the damn thing and call it a day.
Can't eat shiny rocks.
Can't eat moving talking and breathing plants that give off glowing bugs at night and likes listening to rock and roll music in the even while swinging back and forth to it's drumming beat. Can't eat it. Can't eat the rocks. This was not Shade best known month.
"Maybe this was a bad idea," said Tony Stark as he tried his best to hold onto his goat lead.
"Nah, it's a great idea," said Hawkeye as he crawled through the air vents.
"They need to know each other Stark," said Rocket as he pulled his tree friend over his head. Shade tried to jump over his head.
"But still. Goat's eat trees and leaves."
"Yeah, will space plants eat goats."
They paused. "Wait? What?"
They glared and turned to their rightfully pets, ah friends, ah, animals, ah thing eh bobbers one can keep and add to their collection of strange and wonderful things.
"This is not going to work out well," said Stark.
"It will if we just believe."
"In what? The power of friendship? How, lame can we get?"
"In the power of trusting our so called companies that they can't eat each other."
"I can't believe you have a talking moving plant which is known for eating goats."
"I can't believe a billionaire has a goat," said Rocket.
"Will, I can't believe this a normal conversation on a Monday."
"I can't believe the word believe is back in fashion," said Black Widow as she typed on her phone and ignore the both of them.
"I can't believe this is real butter," yelled Hazel from the distance.
"Out of the kitchen," yelled Aunt May.
"I'm doom," Hazel said to herself.
"We're all doom," said Hawkeye. "Dun-dun-dun air vent's," whispered Hawkeye.
Rocket and Tony Stark both turned to look up at the air vents including their companies.
"What is with that guy and air vent's?"demanded Rocket.
"I think he was dropped on the head."
"No, he was wracked by a bat," said Black Widow still not looking away from her phone as she walked away from the slightly scary old lady known as Aunt May.
"Okay, okay let's start this again. From the very top. You go that way and I go this way. We both meet here and let them get to know each other, but I swear if that thing eats my goat. I'm using it for camp fire wood," said a panic Tony Stark.
"This is fair," said Rocket.
The two retraced their steps. Stepping away from each other slowly even Hawkeye retraced his steps.
"Dun-dun-dun," he said again doing a little shuffle in his air vents.
Rocket popped out casually and walks slowly to a Tony Stark walking his goat.
"Rocket."
"Stark."
Rocket placed Groot on the ground.
"Stay," said Tony Stark to his goat.
The human male and the talking animal seemed awfully proud of each other at the mere thought of their good and honest hard work in slowly getting their friends to know each other. However, they were rudely woken up by the mere idea of Shade leaning in to take a bite out of Groot. Groot shivered in fear. Tony glared.
Shade back away and ate the wall instead.
"Well it's a start. Eh, Stark," said Rocket holding out his paw.
"Aww, I've got another pet. Only this one talks. Neat," said Tony Stark patting Rocket head the raccoon was very unimpressed with it all.
