"Y-You sure this is a great idea dad, what if he says no way, jose." Ranger asked nervously making Rocket Senior understand giving him an encouraging smile. He and Ranger were walking through the streets of Knowhere heading to Rocket's place where he lived with Rocket and Nebula plus he knew Ranger had been alone on Halfworld so had brought him to Knowhere knowing Nebula would let him move in with them, Rocket might take convincing but would help Ranger do this. "He won't buddy, you gotta believe in yourself more plus your brother is all about family so he'll welcome you." he reassured Ranger as they came to the embiggened house using the key Rocket hid to let themselves in if he and Nebula weren't home as they entered and Ranger breathed in the cosy vibe sitting on the couch. "I'll make us some tea." he said going to the kitchen knowing his way around.

He heard the door opening hearing Rocket home and surprised Ranger was here surprising Ranger that he was hugging him unaware their dad had explained to him, why his brother had behaved that way to him because of their mom relieving Ranger noticing him looking at him then at their dad. "You kinda look like dad but ummm, don't you wanna freshen up plus we can put your overalls in the laundry." Rocket told him. "Okay thanks bro." Ranger replied to him letting him show him aroubd his and Nebula's house impressing Rocket Senior but was making another cup of tea for Rocket seeing him come into the kitchen helping. "Thanks for being understanding about Ranger being here as he was alone back home." Rocket Senior said to him making Rocket nodding.

"Yeah he's a bit jumpy from what I remember but we can bond like you and me, pops." he replied.

"Yep, but have you heard from RJ as he's probably having fun on Wondergore." Rocket Senior asked.

"You mean moreso Herbie, right." Rocket replied with a smirk. Rocket Senior blushed at his younger kit's words making Rocket chuckle seeing Ranger join them wearing a hooded top with the Guardians emblem on which he'd borrowed as his overalls were his only clothes making Rocket in thought while drinking tea as they were catching up. "Relax Ranger, you're family so Nebula will be cool with you being here, too bad RJ's not here." Rocket reassured him realising it was Friday meaning Shabbat dinner so would get started on this jumping up scampering to the kitchen making halla bread like he was making pizza getting the cup for the wine humming knowing he had a lot to teach Ranger as their dad knew he was Jewish along with Nebula seeing Rocket Senior come in, asking if he could help seeing him nod.

"Rocket, Marshmallow I'm home and see you're starting on the Shabbat stuff, oh hey Ranger good to see you as yohr dad told me you were moving in with us." she said smiling at him heading to the kitchen but knew Rocket had things under control as she was tired from doihg mayor stuff so looking forward to Shabbat plus they'd have to explain to Ranger about that unaware he'd fallen asleep on the couch making Rocket guess that he had ship lag after travelling from Halfworld seeing Rocket smile checking on him wrapping a throw blanket around him. "Welcome home, brother." he whispered before going back to the kitchen to work on Shabbat dinner hearing Rocket Senior asking him, how Ranger was.

"He's asleep on the couch, and I wrapped a blanket around him." he said to him. "That's good buddy as he was tired but nervous to come." Rocket Senior told him. Rocket understood as he loved his big brother and wanted him to feel welcome hoping he'd understand the Shabbat dinner after he woke up making his dad understand

"We'll explain to him." he told him.

After Ranger woke up later, he smelt something good, realising dinner was ready not knowing it was a special meal seeing his dad, Nebula and his brother happy to see him noticing things as he sat beside Rocket listening to him explain about Shabbat and that he was Jewish along with Nebula impressing him. "Thanks Ranger as this is your home now too and surprised Herbert ain't here." Rocket told Ranger drinking wine along with Nebula.

"This is actually nice guys, and learning things about my brother." Ranger said drinking wine making Rocket grin knowing his big brother would sleep good despite it being his first night here, hoping he'd sleep okay making Rocket Senior get it.


That later night into early morning, Rocket heard sniffling getting up out of his and Nebula's bed leaving their room seeing it was Ranger making him protective guessing his brother had an nightmare rubbing behind his furry ear telling him it was okay seeing him relax beginning to stir wiping tears from his eyes. "Sorry for waking you, y-yeah I had a bad dream." Ranger admitted making him get it making him warm milk to help him relax. "Thanks Rocket, as I'm not used to being here." he said softly. "You will in ho time plus we know you like growing things, maybe there's a farm you could work at or the community garden." Rocket told him.

"That's true Rocket, I like growing things, maybe we can try growing things in the morning." Ranger said yawning lying back down falling asleep sohe was going back to his and Nebula's room getting back into his side of the bed hoping Ranger was okay. That next morning which was Saturday, Rocket was making pancakes for everybody seeing Ranger up wondering what was going on. "Just making breakfast for everybody and still Shabbat so we have to rest alright." he told him.

"Ohhhhh, okay is this part of your Jewish thing, sorry still getting used to things here." Ranger told him.

"It's okay as we can help you get used to things here, but let's make coffee." Rocket told hik seeing him nod and after a bit, Rocket Senior and Nebula were awake smelling pancakes. "How did you sleep, buddy." Ranger heard his and Rocket's dad ask. "Okay dad but let's just enjoy breakfast." he told him hearing they needed honey and Ranger spitted a beehive outside knowihg how to get honey without being stung going outside. "I can't look as he's gonna get stung." Rocket said but Nebula was surprised Ranger didn't and had gotten honey seeing him come inside.

"I just did what I do back home, when I need honey." he said shyly impressing them

"That's pretty amazing bro, but let's eat and take it slow." Rocket told him as they were eating plus Rocket was putting honey in coffee impressing Ranger trying ut enjoying it. "I think I'm gonna like it here." he told them making Rocket grin at his big bro's words.
