tree care

It's 7:36AM and I'm not happy. Why am I not happy? Beacuse I've been up all night on duty. Quill, Gamora and Drax are away doing...something. I didn't bother to ask about but has something to do with Nova and the short of it is that I'm alone on the ship. Okay groot is still here but at nine days old I don't think he's ready for night duty. I plod back to our room and open the door. Groot's pot is on the small table I have near my bed and Groot is inside it sleeping. I smile as I watch him sleep but that smile soon disapears when Groot begins to whimper. I run over to him at once.
"Groot buddy, what's wrong?" I ask but he just whimpers more.
Groot isn't old enough to talk yet so even I don't understand him that well at the moment.
"What do I do?  "What do I do?," I ask myself and I pace up and down.
Truthfully I don't have a clue as to how one wuld look after a child. I try my best but I'm really not that good at it.
I stop paceing as an idea comes to me.
I may not be good with kids but I know someone who might be.
I go over to my datapadand click away until I see the name,Xiximagicramen.
"I must remember to ask her if that's a code name," I say to myself before calling her.
After a moment an image of Xiximagicramen appears.
I first met Xiximagicramen a year or so ago on a moon infested with killer earwigs. It was a hard bettle but in the end she and I were victorious against our creey-crawly foes.
"Hello Rocket" Long time no see,"Xiximagicramen says cheerfully.
"Hi," I reply then get down to business and add, " Xiximagicramen I need your help."
"Really? I thought since you joined theGuardians you had turned over a new leaf."
"No, not that kind of help," I tell her quickly then ask,"How did you know about the Guardians?"
"Rocket,"Xiximagicramen replies, "the  whole galaxy knows about you guys. Now what did you want again?"
"It's Groot. I need your help taking care of him?"
"Is he sick?"Xiximagicramen asks with conceren.
"that's the thing. I don't know what's wrong with him," I confess. "I just thought you might be better with kids then me."
Xiximagicramen  looks confused when I say kids.
Quickly I explain to her what happened to Groot in the bettle for Xandar and why he's a baby. It takes a while but Xiximagicramen gets it.
"Okay I'm coing over,"  Xiximagicramen says once I have finished.
I turn off my datapad and run a paw though the fur on my head. Nothing to do now but wait for... A blue light appears and there stands Xiximagicramen.
"How did you get in here?" I ask in surpries.
"Teleporter Xiximagicramen says with a smile.
I'm not to happy about this but I say nothing and instead motions for Xiximagicramen to follow me over to baby Groot.
Groot is still awak and wiggles his arms at me then whimpers again.
"I don't get it," I huff. "I mean I've watered him, given him sunlight and shade and...and...well I don't know what eles to do."
Xiximagicramen looks closely at groot then at his pot and says, "Well for starters we have to changes his soil."
With that she picks something out of the soil and hands it to me.
I look at it and see  it's a bug.
"You little devil," I snarl at the bug, more angry at myself really.
I should have thought about checking Groot's soil.
I squish the bug then turn back to my Xiximagicramen and say, "okay let's get that pot cleaned."
 It done't take long to get rid of the bad soil in Groot's pot and to replace it with some new bug free soil. Groot calms down at once and then after a few moments of thanking Xiximagicramen and me he asks for a drink.
"I'm just going to get Groot some water okay." I tell Xiximagicramen then add, "think you can handle him until I get back?"
Xiximagicramen nods so I grab a jug from my desk and walk into the bathroom next to my and Groot's bedroom.
I fill the jug halfway add some plent growth into it before taking it back to Groot and Xiximagicramen.
"May I?" Xiximagicramen asks, reaching for the jug.
I nod and pass it to her.
Xiximagicramen pours the water over groot. Groot sighs happerly then yawns.
I pick Groot up and sit with him on my bed. Xiximagicramen sits next to us and begins to stroke Groot's head.
"Xiximagicramen, thanks for helping out okay," I tell her.
"Anytime," she says and pats my cheek.
Normally I'd bite anyone who tried this but for now I just smile and bare it.
