This was just randomness and involves Rocket's birth-dad Rocket Senior or Poppa Marshmallow as everybody knows him and I wanted to write a story revolving around him, plus I love his friendship with Juilet Lennon so here we go. In this first one, it's Sunday and Poppa Marshmallow uses Sunday to relax but also creates a lovely Sunday dinner for him, Juilet, Casey, Rocke and Rocket which they enjoy especially Poppa Marshmallow
"Ahhhhh, a perfect Sunday morning, calm, quiet plus not teaching my lil kits or other teachers just me and my thermos of coffee. Plus Casey won't wake up until moonrise along with Juilet and Rocket." Rocket Senior said softly to himself. It was just a typical Sunday morning in New Raccoon City on the grounds of Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and right now the big, fluffy armour wearing male raccoon known as Poppa Marshmallow to his kits Casey and Rocket but also allowed Juilet Lennon, Rocke's vamp mother to call him this was sitting on a bench on the Xavier's quad watching Autumn leaves falling on the grass but this was his normal Sunday morning thing since being a preschool teacher and the best one at Xavier's, this was his relaxation time where he could just reset for the week, like his own mini Shabbat. Also he was looking forward to later tonight when Juilet Lennon alomg with Rocke and Rocket would come over so they'd have Sunday dinner together which made him very happy, so was planning it in his mind breathing in the cold Autumn air which made his furry snout tingle chuckling softly as he liked that feeling knowing others asked him why he did this every Sunday morning which he didn't answer because it was his business and not theirs so it bothered him, when other teachers asked him.
After a bit, he was getting up and going to his townhouse which was on the Xavier's grounds opening the front door with his clawinstead of the keys Principal Jubilee had given him when he'd moved in along with becoming the preschool teacher closing the door gently taking off his scarf which Juilet had knitted for him which he'd appreciated and loved turning on the heating and TV making himself more coffee, listening to Matlock well the new one with Kathy Bates which he loved sitting down on the couch which was comfy wrapping the blanket around his big, fluffy self watching and enjoying yawning because after Casey had returned at sunrise, he'd made her breakfast so was sleepy zoning out into sleep gently snoring which Casey could hear getting up to pee. A while later, Rocket Senior stirred from sleep because he was hungry so making himself lunch and nothing too crazy, just sandwiches as he had to cook a meal for not just him, but Casey, Juilet, Rocke and Rocket as he'd gotten roast chicken at the store, when he'd went shopping for groceries getting ready wearing safety goggles while cooking just to be safe than sorry.
"Okay things are going good, plus I made black pudding just in case and there's cake for dessert but it's good and it's our tradition which is good." Rocket Senior told himself washing his big, fluffy paws as the kitchen was smelling good looking out the window hoping it would get dark soon or the moon would rise so Juilet, Rocke and Rocket alomg with Casey would wake up so they could hang out pushing that feeling aside.
"Come on moon, please rise." he said softly to himself He was deciding to go take a bath as it would calm him down, but after that, was putting on lounge pyjamas which felt good and relaxibg but going downstairs seeing Casey awake realising the moon had risen exciting him hearing the doorbell answering it seeing Juilet Lennon there withRocket and Rocket hugging them making Juilet giggle alomg with Rocke and Rocket being in one of his big, fluffy hugs making him chuckle letting go as they entered the house seeing them drinking their juiceboxes as they'd just woken up.
"The food smells really good Marshmallow, it must take you all day." he heard Juilet say making him blush. "Sort of honey but I don't. Mind." he told her. "We'll thanks for making dinner as usual Marshmallow " Juilet told Rocket Senior making him blush as they were going to the kitchen sitting at the table and after saying the blessings, they were eating
"Wow, that was such a good meal pops and you are really good at cooking." Rocket told Rocket Senior making him smile.
"Thanksbuddy as besides our Friday Shabbat dinners, I love our Sunday night dinners so it's worth it." Rocket Senior said.
Juilet Lennon nodded seeing him go clean up, but she was going in there to help him, surprising him.
"It's fine, as you've been doing this all day pkus friends help each other and I do consider you my friend but sometimes I think you're lonely you know because your kits are vamps that sleep during the day, so it's okay to let me help." she told him. They were hanging out in the kitchen listening to music and talking which Casey, Rocke and Rocket heard smirking knowibg their dad needed this making Rocke smile. "Yes he does plus I think he's lonely which he doesn't admit sometimes." Rocke whispered to them seeing them come out of the kitchen.
"Everything okay guys." Rocket asked them.
"Yeah buddy I'm good plus hanging out with Juilet." Rocket Senior told him. He was happy his dad was happily enjoying their company knowing in the morning an new week would begin and an new class week for his dad teaching seeing him yawning making him get hewas tired seeing him shake his big, fluffy head in reply making Juilet get it making tea to relax himwhich had blood-orange in it which smelt good. "This should help you relax, Marshmallow as you need your rest to be the best preschool teacher at Xaviers." she told him.
She was leadibg him upstairs, to his room and was tucking him into bed noticing a framed photo of him with a female of his species with a baby in her arms guessing it was Rocket smiling as she saw him asleep super-speedibg downstairs but Casey knew her and Rocket'sdadwere sleeping so leaving him be
"We should make pops a snack, for when he wakes up." Casey said doing this.
"Good thinking sis, as he needs that because he has to deal with preschoolers all day." Rocket told her.
They then left the house, to do their things but Casey would be back by sunrise hoping when
oppa Marshmallow would be awake since he had school today so was getting up at sunrise seeing Casey up so was making himself his lunch adding snacks along with a thermos of coffee then making Casey breakfast asking her about her night, hearing it was good relieving her as she was going to bed as he was leaving for school to make it to his preschool classroom setting up for the day before his students arrived.
"All good to go as the students should be arriving and hope things go okay today." he mumbled sitting on the rug waiting for the students seeing them arrive sitting on the rug. "Good morning and happy Monday as I know not everybody enjoys Mondays but in here, it could be fun." Rocket Senior told them. Adter lunch, he was reading a stiry to them vectored naptime and they were settling down plus he was lying down feeling his students cuddle near him falling asleep as Jubilee was checking on things knowing since Rocket Senior started teaching preschool, the students respinded to his gentle vibes and like a big, fluffy daddy to them especially the shyer students who missed their parents after being dropped off so was leaving things be.
After nap and snack time, it was free play as it was almost the end of the day and saw the students being calm hearing the bell so were tidying up and grabbing their backpacks saying goodbye hugging him before leaving the classroom making Rocket Senior smirk tidying up but having a snack from his bag before leaving seeing Jubilee wondering if something was wrong seeing her shake her head. "Nothing's wrong, but was checking on your class as the superintendent was here but it was when naptime happened." Jubilee told him.
"Yeah, naptime is an important part of the day for them." Rocket Senior said making her nod.
"Don't worry, I told him very good things about you." she told him making him relieved.
After a bit, he went home but was on the couch exhausted, after dealing with preschoolers all day despite loving it plus the superintendent saw he was a geeat teacher deciding to resr for a bit but Juilet showed up later after the moon rose inviting him over to the Lennon house for dinner majing him surprised sitting at the table.
"So, how was your day Marshmallow as Rocket said, you're a teacher." Juilet asked him seeing him nod.
"Yep Jules, but the kits are very sweet, but sometimes it can be hard. It's why we've nap time as it helps us after anactive morning." Rocket Senior told her drinking tea unaware Rocke was watching them, along with Rocket sensing his dad and Juilet were connecting agreeing on this. unaware Rocke and Rocket were watching them excited as they were wanting Juilet and Rocket Senior to get closer butcJohn wasn't sure knowing his two younger brothers being baby brained fledglings, they didn't see problems with it.
