It was a warm Summer morning, as mid-morning sunlight peeked through the bedroom window of a house in Brooklyn making the female purple mohawked raccoon female's pink eyes flutter open but annoyed as the sun's glare irritated her eyes. Shocket Melissa Raccoon or just Shocket to those who knew her had just been reunited with her father, Rocket and had moved in with him so still getting used to things here especially the humid New York heat this time of year which Rocket had told her about, when telling her about the city making a frown cross her furry face realising it was ten in the morning.

Shocket you up yet honey. I think Birdie's coming over. This from her dad got her attention getting out of bed in her nightshirt and tail armour because with being covered in thick, soft brown fur Summer was making her uncomfortable to sleep, despure the bad dreams she'd had from living in Tivon's fortress added to this so Linda coming over was making her excitable tidying up her room, just in case she and Linda wanted to hang out in here along with getting dressed in a purple shirt and shorts which allowed her fur to breathe and could brush her Mohawk after breakfast hearing her tummy rumble.

"Yes daddy I'm up and coming." Shocket yelled bounding downstairs amusing Rocket seeing her with bed fur and a messy mohawk still in her nightshirt as she sat down at the table seeing him pulling out a tray of… Rice Krispue squares and pouring orange juice or Tang into a pitcher making Shocket confused as she piured cereal into a bowl drowning it with milk giggling at this making Rocket roll his eyes knowing she was just being cute since Tivon had conditioned her to be his weapin which he'd read about in her medical file knowing there was a teaumatised lil kit who needed his love and snuggles, even if she embarrassed her at times.

"Dad, Byedie's Linda's hero name, everytime else, it's Linda okay." Shocket said with her mouth full.

"Shockie, first off we swallow our food before we talk, and I know that Birdie is Linda's hero name maybe later, we can do stuff." Rocket said seeing Shocket swallow grinning as there was milk on her furry lip yawning which bothered Rocket. "Yeah that'd be awesome." Shocket said smirking drinking coffee which bothered him knowing physically she was old enough to drink coffee but it might make her mentally excited swiping the mug from her, which annoyed her.

"Sorry honey, but coffee might mess you up, like what Tivon did to you-" Rocket said.

She knew her dad had read her medical file and he was just trying to protect her, give her the missed kithood she'd lost when being with Tivon making her paws shaky like when she had a bad dream or anxious that Tivon might kidnap her, drag her back to the fortress which she kept from her dad hearing him ask, if everything was alright nodding and smiling to assure him she was okay plus she was curious about thingsthat were happening in the city like Pride knowing her dad was majibg a float which seemed cool as he accepted her and Linda as they were very sweet together.

"Shockie honey, is something bothering you inside. That's affecting your sleep as you look sleepy plus hear you crying at night." Rocket told her drinking coffee. This made her want to admit that she was having sleep issues and aboht to until she heard the doorbell saying she'd get it.

"Linda grined as Shocket opened the door letting her in, hugging each other before heading to the living room noticing Linda had her swim gear knowing they could cool off in the community pool which Shocket thought an awesome idea grabbing her swim gear telling or yelling to Rocket she and Linda were going out hearing her dad okay with this.

"Let's go." Linda said as Shocket nodded grabbing an inner tube so she could float.


"This was such a good idea Linda, to cool off in the pool and refreshing. So have you seen your folks lately you know since you moved into the Baxter Building." Shocket asked. Both of them were in the pool, Linda swimming and Shocket in an inner tube floating as she was still learning to swim with her dad's help but floating was nice and relaxing

"Yes they know Shocket, and proud. We video chat a lot pkus go to their house for dinner every weekend." Linda said.

"That's cool Linda as my dad and I have that Shabbat thing every Friday. Maybe my folks and I should come over." Linda said.

After a bit, they returned to Rocket's house sitting on the couch talking hearing footsteps seeing Rocket coming in with a putcher of Tang and a tray with Rice Krispues squares on it making Linda sigh knowing Rocket was just being a dad.

"Awwww thanks dad, this is what you were doing this morning. Thanks." Shocket said making Rocket smile.

"Yeah, thanks Mr R." Linda said. "You're welcome girls. If you want me, I'm in the garage." Rocket told them.

"Okay daddy, have fun." Shocket said to him as he left the living-room.
