He needs to take a break or relax, or he'll snap which I don't think we want to see and maybe ask Mantis to use her powers on him, if he doesn't calm down or get his friend to relax him, he also hasn't done any knitting since we got back here, that normally relaxes him but being the leader is stressing him out but he nedds help.

Nebula was in her room, on her bed just thinking, plus could hear a certain furboy helping with things plus they'd returned to their base on Knowhere so hoped he'd relax but nope, he was pushing himself harder since having more leadership duties in the team which she was happy about but they hadn't huhg out together or had knitting time looking at the age-regression dial on the back of her blaster arm tempted as being little again might remind him, to stop and smell the Groot-flowers only that would be a last resort taking a deep-breath deciding to knit her feelings or concern for her best friend hearing Quill and him arguing so closed the door, but knitting the patch ijto the friendship tapestry they'd been working on which was in a shoebox under the bed putting it back in the box after she was done, going to check on things sensing stress seeing Tocket squishing his paws ijto furry fists, something Rocke had taught him.

"Woah, somebody looks like he's gonna explode, wanna talk about it." she told him.

"Oh hey Nebs sorry if I've forgotten to do stuff, just been busy with things." he said feelijg her hand on his furry wrist which was relaxing him, plus surprised Casey was on Knowhere, seeijg Nebula curious as he scampered off to go check this out relieving the others especially Quill looking at Nebula.

"Please for the love of Groot, chill him out like your knitting club you two have, or give him booze." he told her makijg her frowning, she knew Rocket was taking this seriously deciding to go ijto his room to look for clues noticing the calendar was marked for today seeing a cake emoji realising from RJ what that meant.

His birthday is approaching, and from what he's told me, it has sad memories attached to it like what his mom did, no wonder he's going hardcore leader, it's distracting him from this but can't tell the others as we promised each other not to spill our most personal stuff with the others.

She then left the room before he returned seeing the others curious to know what she'd found out so lied that she hadn't fouhd out because she valued the bomd she and Rocket had so wasn't risking it to make the others especially Quill happy hearing giggling seeing a female-cub with her best friend who,wore purple armour with a paw crest with the letters RG but had shoulder-length hair which was brown like the rest of her fur, noticing she had blue eyes instead of brown like Rocket's plus she was hovering without a Rocket-pack.

"This is Casey, my lil s-sis who decided to visit and she has powers." Rocket told them.

"Hey everybody my brother told me and our parents all about you when he's in the mood." she told them.

"How can somebody like you be reatled to him." Quill asked her but Nebula shushed him.

"I need your help, kid to figuring out something, why he's in a bad mood." she whispered.

She saw Casey become invisible through her cloaking-power following Nebula to her brother's room, understanding seeing the calendar nodding saying Rocket-Day was approaching explaining it was what was called his birthday On Wondergore their home impressing Nebula as Casey showed her the gift she'd made, a canvas of all her memories of them growing up making Nebula stunned.

"Mom and Dad were hoping for him to come home but he's always busy so mayge my gift might inspire him or calm him." she told Nebula putting the canvas on her brother's desk before leaving the room.

"Somebody went to a certain tavern to take a break so we can take a break, he gets sleepy after coming back but who put thethe pellets up his tail-" Quill said as Nebula punched him.

"Yeah, leave him alome there could be a reason why he's being like this." she told hik.

Later, Rocket returned to the Bowie and ijto his room seeing the gift that was on his desk makijg him choked-up knowing his birthday was approaching which he had kept a secret from the others except forvNebula plus had a huge chest of gifts his and Casey's parents had sent him hidden but this time decided to leave it there makijg him smile for the first time that day unaware Nebula saw.

"Ohhhh hey there, you seem in a better mood, and see you found what your sis left." she told him.

"Yep, sorry for being hard on the others along with neglecting you and our knitting time just I get anxious this time of year." he told her feeling her hug him smelling his breath, guessing he'd had fun at Starlijg's hoping he hadn't trashed it because of some jerks making fun.

"Nothing like that just playing darts using an arrow-rig." he said grinning and yawning getting sleepy as she tucked him in leaving him be noticing the others had been there
