A/N

So this was what happens when you watch Inside Out 2 again and then think about Rocket along with my OC, Casey Raccoon who we know as Raccoon Girl so one thing led to another. Plus recently in A Raccoon Girl's Adventures, Casey helped Rocket break the emotional pickle-jar freeing his emoticoons so wanted to write a story or a series of stories where they're helping their furboy navigate life like being with Nebula, being a good parent, captain of the Guardians but working for NASA too.

His emoticoons refer to themselves as the Guardians of Rocket lol.

So in this first lil story, it's Dexember on Raccoon-Earth and in their house in New Raccoon City, Nebula and Rocket are preparing for Hannukah which makes Rocket delighted including finding the menorah among other things but his emoticoobs are ready to help but celebrate too.


"Alright, our boy found the menorah in the attic. Hannukah's gonna be awesome this year plus we've new members of our family that have never had Hannukah before." Merry, who was Rocket's happiness emoticoon told his sibs. It was Dexember on Raccoob-Earth in NewcRaccoon City and in Nebula and Rocket's house, they were getting ready for Hannukah, and Rocket was excited so in Headquarters in his Rocket's mind Merry's golden fur was glowibg vibrating with joy. They knew how much Rocket loved this time of year giving loved ones gifts each night, lighting the menorah, singing songs and stuffing his furry face with treats like gelt knowing a lot of happy core memories were going to be made even if he needed their help even if he didn't notice they were there.

"Daddy, can we light the menorah each night." Luba asked Rocket making his emoticoons awww at that deciding how their boy should answer this. "Of course they can light the menorah, they're in school." Aggro his anger emoticoon suggested making them surprised. "Aggro no, what if they do, burn the house down and we're living in cardboard boxes." Anxy his anxiety emoticoon said feeling Merry hug him as he needed them along with the Calmness Lounge for when he got out of control so he didn't hurt Rocket.

"If he says no, they'll be sad, he doesn't like making them or Nebula sad." Teary his sadness said wiping tears away with his paw.

"Maybe we can let you, if mommy and I help you." Rocket told her making Luba and her sibs cheer and Nebula kiss him. "You're a good daddy, Rocket Raccoon." Nebula told him making him blush knowing that was Pinky his embarrassment.

"Good job everybody, we helped our boy with that one. It's a good thing Casey helped him break us out of the emotional pickle-jar he kept us in for many years until facing the HE and then Casey freed us. We gotta do a good job of protecting him." Merry told them. For a long time, Rocket had suppressed them putting them in a pickle-jar because of all the trauma he'd went through growing up in the lab and then Casey had through her imagination had helped him decide to break the pickle-jar freeing them so they'd been determined to do a good job of looking out for Rocket knowing he appreciated them.

"We're the Guardians of Rocket." Nervy declared which they agreed with seeing Rocket's Sense of Self glow brightly knowing their furboy was in good paws so far wanting to keep him that way hearing Nebula saying coffee was ready.

"Coming Nebs and in a really good mood. I guess it's the Hanukkah spirit, it's infectious like the flu." Rocket told her.

"Soeajibg of the flu, we have to get our flu shots in the morning." Nebula said making the emoticoons widen their eyes in shock knowing that Rocket was kinda nervous about getting shots because of his past in the lab only Merry knew their boy needed his flu shot to stay healtby pkus Nebula would hold his paw while he got it.

"You're right, Rocket has to stay healthy even if it means pain from a shot." Teary told them seeing Rocket was drinking coffee which was making him relaxed plus wearing his yamaka which he wore thistime of year which Nebula had lovingly knitted for him, after learning he was Jewish along with her and their kits so it was making him feel better.

"Mmmmmmm gelt's so good, hehe." Merry said giggling accidentally getting near the console.

"Awwww it must be the holiday spirit activating in you. It's good to see you like this plus your whiskers are twitching in joy." Nebula told him so was putting their kits down for their nap making Rocket grin as a golden memory orb rolled down the tube which Merry scooped up into his golden furred paws replaying the memory grinning putting it on a shelf with other golden memory orbs as Aggro paw-bumped him.


"Okay, Rocket's awake, and we've to get our flu shots. This should go well." Aggro said.

It was the next morning in the Raccoon house but they were up early because they were going to the doctor's to get their flu shots plus would get breakfast after seeing the kits dressed feeling nervous about the shots making Rocket sighing knowing he had to be strong making Merry frown at this.

"Okay everybody in the car, we gotta go." Nebula told them as they bundled in but Nebula was driving knowing Rocket was feeling nervous about it. "Everything will be okay honey as you need it to be healthy." Nebula reassured him.

"Yeah, but she should get it, she was experimented on too." Nervy told his sibs as the car arrived as they got out at the doctor's office entering but the kits were noticing their dad was quiet surprised their dad was afraid of getting shots hugging him which was making his emotioncoons smile at the kits trying to calm Rocket down seeing the nurse come out saying the doctor was ready for them.

"Come on gigs, let's do this, get this over with." Nebula told them.

"I think daddy should go first, you know." Nebula tokd them making Rocket surprised.

"This ain't gonna end well…" Aggro muttered seeing the doctor putting the needle in Rocket's furry shoulder making the emoticoons feel it as Teary cried but making Rocket cry a lil surprising the kits despitecNebuka hokdibg his paw seeing him wiping the tears away after the doc put a band-aid in the area

"It's okay Teary as we needed that." Merry told him.

"Thanks Merry, I hope our boy feels better." Teary said to him.

After they got their flu shots, the family were heading to their favourite diiner for breakfast ordering pancakes along with Nebula and Rocket havibg coffee and the kits were having chocolate milk which was helping them relax after their shots making sure they weren't having side effects from the shot like what the doctor had told them looking at Rocket seeing he was in a better mood.

When they returned home, Rocket was getting Hannukah wishes and messages from the rest of the Dynasty making him grin but in Headquarters, his emotioncoons were enjoying this knowing the next few nights were going to be fun seeing Aggro excited about dreidel making Merry smirk. The next eight nights were full of laughter, singing playing games but mainly love which were creating new core memories for Rocket and his emoticoons
