Be-boop here's more of the stories, plus in my country it's a holiday called Pancake Day involving pancakes so couldn't help imagining pancake-related antics on the Bowie so hope you guys enjoy.

In this one, it's the Festival of Pancakes which makes everybody excited, but then the Pancake-Off a pancake-eating contest ensues which Nebula takes part in plus she, Rocket and RJ get tummybaches so hang out together in Rocket's room and Rocket reveals his being royal to Nebula which impresses her

"Yes, it's thecFestival of Pancakes, meaning a certain somebody will be making Groot Morning pancakes." Mantis said excitedly making Rocket chuckle along with RJ who was grabbing the Nutella glaring atvthe others like his dad making Rocket face-palm, knowing his boy was an Nutella King and hoarded jars of the stuff hoping maybe Nebula could help.

"Yep, but RJ's being grabby with the Nutella, Rocket, do somethijg." Quill said as Nebula entered rubbing sleep from her eyes realising itvwas the Festival of Pancakes noticing RJ was hissing confusing her until shevsaw the Nutella understanding because Rocket had explained to her, about this addiction their cub had but wanting to curb it not break it distracting RJ hearing Groot freak out.

"We're not using sap to make maple syrup." Drax asked seeing a disgusted look on Rocket's furry face.

"Ewww dude, you're always doihg this, however it's tije for our annual tradition of the pancake-Off." he told Drax.

"What's the Pancake-Off, guys." Nebula asked confused being new to some thijgs in the Guardians making Quill smirk.

"It's something he started after learning about the Festival of Pancakes, it's a pancake-eating contest." he told her.

She was seeing them set up, deciding to join in, making Rocket and RJ happy, that she was joining in but she was surprised seeing Rocket wearing a pancake-themed crown making her grin as Quill sighed knowing this would be his year hearing Rocket snort making Nebula giggle at this because it was very sweet, as the contest began, with them eating pancakes but Drax, Mantis, Kraklin, along with Cosmo bowed out so Nebula, Quill, Rocket and RJ were left making things exciting as Quill bowed out making Rocket smirk alomg with RJ abd Nebula but saw Nebula run off making Rocket and RJ call it a tie makijg RJ grin but feeling his tummy hurt, guessing his dad felt the same along with Nebula.

"Come on guys, let's go rest after this and I'll get the hot-water bottles." Rocket told her.

"Ugh, why did we do that, cram a zillion pancakes down our throats." Nebula said crying as she felt her stomach hurt as she was lying on Rocket's giant-sized bed as Rocket understood putting a hot water-bottle on her along with RJ ashe could handle a stomach-ache but felt bad for them but was lying beside them, as he felt bad they weren't feeling good.

"It happens every year, when we get to the Festival of Pancakes, so I'm used to it but you two being sick make me feel bad but snuggles and hit water bottles help." he said to them feeling tired after all those pancakes feelijg Nebula wrap her arms arouhd them gently as they all needed comfort noticing thijgs on the Bowie were quiet.

"It's okay Rockie, it was fun but we should just rest plus your lil crown was cute." Nebula saud to him.

"Yeah, but a stomach-ache is worth defending my crown, despite being an actual prince." he told her making her curious about that making Rocket blush seeing RJ grin knowing this was true making him sigh.

"Yes, I'm an actual prince being a Celestial and Herbert's my das who gave me some of his special blood to save me as a baby from hypothermia because my actual Mom was a jerk kicking me out of the tree and my actual family for being a runt plus some of my sibs used me as a mop when things get spilled." Rocket told her making her surprised but understood stroking behind his furry ear, knowing how much talking about his past hurt feeling RJ hug him.

"Thanks guys, as it's okay now, I have a better family with you guys plus Herbie." he replied to them getting sleepy and Nebula was feeling sleepy along with RJ as Mantis was checking on them, so left them be seeing Quill listening to music on the Zune asking how things were going.

"They're asleep, but leave them be brother." she said to him.

Quill then checked himself but thought it sweet that Nebula was sleepijg with both Rocket and RJ after the yearlybpancake madness knowing waking them was a bad idea deciding to leave them be, until they woke themselves up.
