It has been 1 week since the party was formed, and the team has made very little progress in their travels. Despite their shortcomings however, the group has had much to learn and experience, especially Naruto after being given the capability to speak and understand proper English.

The knucklehead ninja has even found some fondness towards certain music,shows, and movies that do not exist in his world. But enough exposition from me, as narrator, it's best to show rather than tell. So let's see the details from Star Lord's POV as he sits in his retro style room that only an 80's baby could love on his desk using what looks like a really old retro cassette tape recorder.

Oh…And Quill has two guests hidden in his bed underneath the blankets, looks like.

"So it's been a week since I formed my ragtag group of toons." "And truth be told; I can't stand em' any longer, someone PLEASE save me…"

Quill pause for second with a slight snicker before continuing on, saying-

"Nah, in all seriousness though; they're a pretty fun bunch." " But I'd be lying if I said they don't annoy me at times, except for Tails, he's-he's alright, he is an ALRIGHT kid…who is also a fox." "A talking fox, so I found the perfect stand-in for Rocket, only his potty-mouth degenerate behavior is nonexistent, which for all intents and purposes; is a welcoming upgrade…no offense, Rocket.

Peter flashes back to Tails assisting him with a miniature drone that resembles a canister to a retro vacuum cleaner.

"Man, this is tough." Tails says, struggling to fix the drone.

"Like I said, little buddy; stuff like this is LITERALLY out of this world compared to what you're used to." "So it's okay if you wanna stop, I can handle the rest-"

"Got it." Tails said nonchalant, leaving Quill flabbergasted when the drone starts speeding down the hallway to mop up the floor. Quill then slowly turns his head to Tails, who shows off by patting the dust out of his now blackened gloves.

"What?" "It was tough for me, but not impossible." Tails said with a smug face and shrug…A smug shrug.

"Go new Rocket!" Quill's shouts, and high fives Tails, who doesn't get the name he's referencing, but assumes that's his new nickname that Quill has given him.

"OK, I take that back; he's a cool kid."

While recording, it's revealed that Peter has been drawing on his desk, making some nice colored sketches of his new team. After finishing his drawing of Tails, he moves on to drawing Sakura in a realistic art style where she actually looks like a real Japanese girl.

"Then we have these two knucklehead foreign toons…Ana-MAY, I think they're called."

Quill has another flashback of Sakura helping Peter make tea in the kitchen. Peter pours an extremely hot tea in his cup from a retro teapot.

"Is it supposed to be that hot?" Sakura asked.

"I have major sinus problems, so I need it to be as hot as possible if I ever wanna breathe naturally again."

After taking some time for it to cool off, Sakura and Peter take small sips of the tea while sitting on the dinner table.

"So what do you think?" Asked Quill.

"Hmm…Not bad, but it could use a little more flavor."

Moments later, Sakura speeds her way to the kitchen and adds some extra ingredients to the tea and makes a new cup for them both.

"Now try my version; straight outta Okinawa!" Sakura said with pure confidence.

After taking a sip of Sakura's supposed better tea, Peter's face scrunches up.

"What the SHIT!?"

Sakura's face drops from a smile to a worried face, but before she can ask what's wrong, Quill follows up with a-

"This is GOOD… this is REALLY really good!"

"Oh…" Sakura says with a sigh of relief.

"What, I thought I hated it?"

"Well, YEAH…not the ideal positive response you'd expect from a taste test."

The two then share a laugh.

"As expected from Japan, it's impossible to get bad tea from there…makes me wonder which country has the best tea out of China,Japan, and UK…France too, I guess."

Peter flips to his next and final page which is Naruto, who looks more American than Japanese for some reason.

"Based on what Naruto told me; his world sounds like it has a mix of modern and old time resources." "He knows about television,VHS, and cellphones, but doesn't know about CD's,DVDs, or even credit cards." "REALLY makes me wanna visit his world just to check out how advanced it is."

"But my favorite thing about hangin' out with this kid is his COMPLETE and UTTER cluelessness."

Peter flashes back to a point where he and the gang were having what seems to be a movie night sitting on the couch eating from a bowl of popcorn in the dark.

"So let me get this right; John sent Reese to the past just so he can get his mom from the past pregnant?" Naruto asked confusingly.

"Yeah, pretty wild, I don't get it either." Says Peter.

"I like these turtles, but why don't they use ninjutsu or genjutsu?"

"Is it because they have 3 fingers?"

"Nin-what?"

In another movie night flashback, Naruto is left saddened from the ending of a slasher horror film and asked Quill-

"Was there really no way to save Michael?"

"Nope, once the evil takes over, it doesn't leave until its host dies."

"Poor Laurie…things could've been totally different if evil never consumed Michael."

In another flashback, Naruto hops up from the couch after a shocking revelation is revealed from a sci-fi film, making him shout-

"WHAT!?"

"NO…no that's not true!"

"That's IMPOSSIBLE!"

"Dude, calm down, the signs were there all along." Quill said calmly.

Peter has now completed his sketches and prepares to get to a stopping point.

"Can't wait to show him some more flicks."

"I can safely say he's my new Drax."

*KNOCK-KNOCK!*

Peter gets up from the desk and puts on his pajama pants as he walks towards the door in his room. When Peter opens the door, he meets eyes with a mildly annoyed Sakura dressed in black shorts and a gray t-shirt with Smurfette from the Smurfs on it.

"Sup'?" The nonchalant Quill asks.

"I'm pretty sure you know what is up..." Sakura says with a slight smirk.

"I know it's your ship and all, but you've been going at it like rabbits all night and I'm running out of excuses to tell Naruto and Tails why you and your friends are working out so hard."

"OK, Tails I completely understand, but why Narts?" The puzzled Quill asked.

"Are you finished or not?"

"Because the boom box you have is NOT helping at all to drown out the noise."

"Sorry, one of them's a screamer, so-

Sakura blushes and frantically cuts off Quill before he can say more, shouting-

"I DON'T want to know the details!"

"Sorry…but yeah, we're done."

"Good."

Sakura walks off, it seems like she regrets her choice to stay now.

The drone from earlier passes by Sakura and goes inside Quill's room before shutting the door. Remembering that it's a cleanup type of drone, Sakura can only imagine what kind of mess was made there.

"Honestly, how do you live with that?"

"I have no choice, but I have little issue with what Peter Quill does in his spare time. Mating IS part of natural human life after all." So states the the Ship.

"But yes, it can be rather annoying however; which is why I can mute my hearing sensors when he engages in lucrative activities."

"Wow...you have it all." Sakura says in amazement.

"You know it, bitch."

"When Peter gets ready to head back to bed, one of his playmates rises from the blankets.

"She's cute, is she legal on your planet?"

Peter turns and faces a blue humanoid alien with puffy orange hair covering up her goodies with the blanket. Beside her is a beautiful pink humanoid alien with long wavy purple hair.

"My team's off limits." Said Quill.

"Aw…" The blue girl says in sadness.

"Too bad, Kapooska wanted a schoolgirl AND little fox man to join." Said the pink girl.

This awkward comment makes Quill's jaw drop leaving him speechless for a moment. Star Lord is obviously a nasty individual, but thankfully he clearly has a limit.

"Get the hell off my ship!" Peter says, pointing towards the door.
