"You okay sweetie, maybe have sime coffee, it always wakes you up mentally, we know you're not a mornin kit." Ranger asked Casey as the now-twelve-year old kit was up, after her nightly patrol as their friendly neighbourhood Raccoon Girl using her many powers to help her fellow raccoons and humans in the city, only last night she'd felt weird, like what her mom had told her about.
"I feel kinda weird, daddy, I need help, as my stomach hurts, I feel like I'm growing a longer tail plus my brain is kinda fuzzy and uncle Rockie didn't give me mead." Casey said whimpering, making Ranger go get Riley, making her happy knowing at was goimg on, tellimg Ranger their little kit was sick, getting a hot-water bottle for Casey's stomach.
She found their little kit wrapped up in her favourite blanket, hearing her emotional, noticing she was not using her powers putting an ice-pack on Casey's furry gead after pushing some of her shoulder-length bangs away, telling her that it would make her head feel better like how the water-bottle would help her stomach, telling her to rest kissing her furry cheek.
"Thanks mom, for helping me, is dad and uncle Rockie oKay?" Casey asked yawning.
"Yeah, your dad was worried about you, alomg with uncle Rockie, you'll be alright." Riley replied.
Casey then drifted off into sleep, because the hot-water bottle was giving her chubby belly a hug, like warm milk zoning-out into sleep as Ranger was checking on her, telling Rocket that Casey had fallen asleep.
While Riley was excited about Casey's next birthday and her becoming a teen, Ranger was freaking out about it, knowing teens wanted space away from their parents, making Rocket shake his furry head at his big brother, assuring him that this was Casey they were talkimg about, meaning they could have fun with her making Riley agree, like having adventures, making Rocket agree chuckling.
"Just enjoy your brand-new teenager, alright?" he assured Ranger drinkimg coffee.
Cassey began to stir, after her cellphone had went off, seeing it was afternoon, that Crystal had been texting or WhatsAppimg her after another night of being the friendly-neighbourhood Raccoon Girl which was distracting her from attsnding daytime classes at Xavier's School for Giftsd Youngsters which had been Rocket's idea as he was sending Shocket and Linda there for daytime classes too making her anxious, feelimg Rufus, her pet bazaki nuzzle her furry cheek while she was eeding him seeing Ranger and Riley, her parents enter her room.
"That's great you're awake sweetie, we have to get your school stuff, wash your paws after putting Rufus in his house, so we can get going, alright, Starshine." Ranger said making Casey sigh.
After putting Rufus back in his house and washing her paws alomg with putting on her signature long-sleeved black top with a sparkly paw-print on it with khaki-green shorts which made her tail feel comfortable, she and her folks left the compound but Casey was quiet because of the dream she'd had before waking up along with her anxiety, about this new school which made Ranger and Riley worried.
"I'm good, don't worry about it." she said faking a smile, to make them happy.
"Alright then, but you can tell us, if something's bothering you." Riley told her.
Casey sighed at that, knowing her cousin, Shocket didn't tell Lylla and Rocket everything, unless she was in trouble like her dad relieved tbey had gotten everything she needed, including a backpack going home making Rocket impressed despite sensing his niece was distracted..
