<PART 2>

(First prson POV)

I open my eyes to see the bright light of Berhert's Suns, which makes me shield my eyes from its blinding light. I feel a slight weight on my chest and arm. Looking down, I see Rocket and baby Groot curled up as balls on top of me. I smile and scratch just behind Rocket's ear. His ear twitches and his leg jerks, a thing it does when I scratch that spot. He shifts around, slowly falling off my chest and onto the ground.

I keep an arm close to him, not wanting him to land on the ground. He continues to shift but stops briefly, then stretches out him limbs, almost hitting the tiny tree at his head. Speaking of said tiny tree, he, too, starts to stretch out and yawns. He starts opening his eyes, then does a cute little snort as he looks up at me. A big smile grows on his face, "I am Groot!" I chuckle quietly. 'Good morning!'.

I hush him slightly, but respond anyway. "Morning, Groot. Now you gotta keep quiet, or else Mr. Grumpy will wake up next to you." He looks away from me and to Rocket, who is still out like a light. He turns back to me, and a mischievous smile arises onto our faces. I snort, knowing what he's gonna do.

Quietly, Groot stretches out a branch and reaches up to Rocket's ear, tickling just behind it. Rocket starts mumbling something and swatting at his ear before squirming a little bit. Rocket soon starts shifting so much. He falls off of my chest and lands on the ground, waking him up.

He groans as he hits his head, rubbing where it had hit the ground. Groot giggles, and I chuckle in unison, slowly sitting up. "Groot, why'd you gotta do that every morning?" Groot continues giggling, "I am Groot." I try to hold back hysterical laughter so as not to wake the others. 'You snore too loud!' I silently chuckle, my shoulders clearly bobbing as I laugh.

Rocket glares at me, and I hold my hands up in surrender, slowly shuffling backwards. He starts walking towards me, smirking. My hands fall, and I place Groot on a small nearby rock. Then I rush to stand, and I start running, Rocket chasing behind me. "Get back here!" I laugh hysterically, "I didn't do anything! It was all Groot, chase him!" A small voice behind us calls out, "I am Groot!"

'You encouraged me!'. I gasp, turning around and running backwards, I put my hands to my mouth, "You snitch! No sweets for you!" I hear a tiny call of distress. But before I can respond, I trip up, obviously not looking in the right direction. I fall on my ass and groan at the pain.

Again, clearly not paying attention, Rocket takes that chance and lunges at me. He starts poking my sides, and I start laughing maniacally. "Rocket, I'm sorry! Stop poking me, please!" He laughs with me, gradually stopping. I catch my breath, then playfully glare at him, "You are so mean." He pokes my face, then hops off of me and onto the ground, and turns to the tiny stomps behind him.

I stand up after a second and gaze over him and towards the noise as well, only to find baby Groot running at us. He runs past Rocket and starts climbing up my leg, then up my torso until he reaches my shoulder. He climbs a little further up on top of my head and plops himself down, getting comfortable.

Rocket snorts then turns on his areo-rig and flies up to Groot, "Why you up there, Groot?" A little giggle the little tree makes me smile, "I am Groot!" I start laughing more. 'Until they give me sweets, I'm staying on their head!' Rocket starts chuckling before getting eye level with me. "Looks like you're stuck with him." I wave a hand in his face, making him fly backwards.

I start walking back towards the others, "Oh, that's fine. He'll be a great company for me while I eat some sweets for myself." I feel a small tap on my head, and I chuckle. We start making our way back to the others who we can guarantee we had woken up.
