"So, this is where Rocke lives." Nebula said to Rocket.
"Yep, and so glad Rocke invited us, for the sakura festival." Rocket replied.
It was Spring on the planet Terra and Rocke had invited them to spend some time with him in his Japan for the cherryblossom festival which made Nebula curious because she'd never been here before, plus she was stunned that Rocke lived in a mansion making Rocket chuckle at her reaction rijging the doorbell.
"I'll get it-" he heard a familar voice yelling.
"Who was that, Rockie." Nebula asked hearing the door opening seeing Yoko in her kikono, making Rocket smirk guessing Rocke was wearing one too alomg with Piper seeing her calling Rocke seeing him in a pinkish kimono with a peace sign pattern holding knitting needles making Nebula smirk, knowing their secret knitting club was still goijg strong.
"Konnichiwa loves and welcome to Japan, yes I was knitting, it helps with my excitement." he told them.
"Excited about the festival, right, which is why you were knitting, right." Rocket asked him as they entered seeing Nebula looking around seeing John Lennon paintings smirking seeing what the Tenuki-male was knitting a family crest making them smile remembering RJ's flag which was on the moon smelling tea was ready seeing Yoko, Rocke's daughter who reminded them ofvCasey hearing Rocke chuckle.
"How's thijgs been going, my nakamas." he asked pouring tea ijto cups for them.
"Mmmmm, this tea's so good-smelling, we should tell Zeke about it." Nebula said.
"Hai, I can give you the recipe, but we made it from cherryblossoms from our tree in the backyard." Rocke told them as Piper entered smirking seeing Rocket and Nebula with her furboy, smirking seeingvYoko talking to Casey on video chat.
"OoohhhI forgot that I got you kimonos, and hope you like them." Rocke told them.
"Of course we will buddy, Casey wears hers a lot from what Jupiter tells me." Rocket told hik seeing Rocke delighted putting the knitting needles away feeling better now his friends were here, whispering to his John Lennon shrine in Japanese whichbNebula found beauitful like Yiddish making Rocke blush.
"Hmmm, oink is not normally my colour but it does look good on me, and hope everybody's okay back hoke like RJ behaving himself." Nebula told herdelf after dressing herself in a libht-pink kimono with a star pattern on it looking at herself in the mirror hearing soft singing which made her curious, following the sound to the study realising it was Rocke softly clapping which stunned him.
"Did I wake you, Nebula-chan if I did, I'm sorry." he told her.
"No, I was curious, hearing singing." she replied to him.
"Arigatou as I was practicing for the festival." he repliedto her.
She noticed it was late and he needed his rest,, guessing like Rocket, the Tenuki-male needed help to rest wondering if chocolate would help calm like Rocket making him some hot chocolate which astounded the tenuki-male as she was his guest seeing her shake her head.
"I do this for Rocket, when he can't sleep." she told him.
She noticed he looked exhausted and needed rest, humming something she sang to Ursa when itvwas time to quiet down for sleep seeing it was working as his eyes closed in sleep wrappi a blanket arouhd him putting him on the couch smirking
