"Pops you alright, as you're not wearibg yoyr rocket-pack, you're not retiring right. Is it something you and Rocke know but we don't." Shocket asked nervously making Rocket facepalm at this. What Shocket didn't know was that her dad's back was sometimes hurting which Rocke along with Herbert and Rocket Senior knew about and Rocket only wore his rocket-pack on missions but right now they weren't on a mission or he'd just came back from a mission but Rocke had seen him staggering in pain so had gotten him to tell him aboht his back so had given him a back massage guessing he might need one.
"Excuse us Shocket, we need a few moments alone, don't worry you'll get him back." Rocke told her.
Rocket was slowly following the male-tenuki but lying on his tummy on the couch as he was massaging his furry back making Mini-Shocket curious about what they were doing. "Ssshhhh as papa's back hurts so I'm giving him a massage to ease it. No yoyr bigger self doesn't know and we don't want her to worry." Rocke told her
"Okay daddy, but papa's gonna be okay, right." she asked him seeing Rocket nodding.
"Yeah kiddo I'll be okay, my spine's beibg stupid, daddy knows how to help." Rocket told her.
"Shocket you okay, where did you go, is everything okay." she heard Mini-Itsy saying.
She then went tk find her deciding to keep what was going on with Rocket's back a secret knowing her bigger self would find out sooner or later going back into the backyard where everybody was seeing her Itsy hug her asjunf if she was okay seeing her nodding hearing her 616-sekf asking where Rocke and their dad was makihg her feel bad because she)£ pronused to keep what happened a secret. "It's a secret big me." she to,f her.
A few minutes later, they saw Rocke and Rocket joun them making Shocket curious about what her mini-self was keeping a secret makibg Rocket sighing whispering into her ear seeing her eyes wide. "Does Herbie know, aboht yohr back as he could help." she told him seeing he looked ashamed.
"I don't want anybody to know or worry about me, since we have to get rid of Mocket and you need my help." he saud to her seeing her leading him toward Herbert telling him making him get it teleporting them to Wondergore so he could examine Rocket's spine noticing the cybernetics were wedged inti his spine frowning.
"Don't worry I can help him but go tend to your and Itsy's fam." Herbert told Shocket as she git it.
"Is he alright, as I saw you guys teleport to Wondergore, and guess it's his spine right." Rocke told Shocket seeing Rocket underst Rocket her nodding. She noticed he'd been eating guessing he'd used his pendant to calm himsekf down which she got hugging him seeing Rocket Senior come over as he'd heard Mini-Shocket telling Mini-Itsy what was happening to Rocket.
"He'll be okay Rocke and know how much he means to you, me too." Shocket told him gently realising Rocke and Rocket had promised both Mini-Itsy and Shocket to Coney Island but maybe with Rocket's back being sore, it might not be a good idea to ride rollercoasters hoping both Mini-Itsy and Shocket weren't disappinted.
