I sharpen my sword as Peter flew the Milano through space. We were hired on a mission to retrieve an artifact for a Xandarian collector. But instead, me and Peter were betraying the Ravagers. I finished sharpening my sword and tuck it away in my back sash before joining him sitting in my co-piolet seat.

"This is a bad idea, Peter." I tell him.

"Come on Bullet, you agreed to come with me so we could split the profit between the Orb." Peter said in that prideful tone of his.

"No, I agreed to come with you because you're my best friend." I responded giving a soft glare.

Peter just playfully chuckled. The ship was beginning to land, I hopped out of my co-pilot seat and looked outside. The planet was deserted, nothing but dusty winds and gray skies. The Milano doors open, and we both get out as I feel the wind blow on my fur.

I trailed behind him as the wind got stronger and harder on my fur. I stopped next to Peter and in front of us was multiple destroyed buildings. Peter takes out a device shaking it a couple of times as it glitched. The device then revealed a thin blue ray hologramming the entire scenery to what it once was before. It revealed an entire city with people and then a red dot spawned the main location.

"Right over there, come on." Peter pointed to the dot ahead.

"The sooner we get out of here, the better." I added.

I follow behind him as we walked across the dune. We later arrived at the abandoned temple and the hologram showed a little girl and her dog playing together. I couldn't help but stare in awe. That's when Peter turned off the scanner and put it away. We walked deeper into the temple. I watch Peter push a button that took off his helmet and revealed his face. My breath silently hitched as I felt my fur quietly tense.

I guess I should let y'all in on a little secret... I may have a small crush on Quill.

I met Peter when our captain Yondu took me in with him and the Ravagers. Actually, it was more like he took me in captive. Peter was the first one to welcome me and we became best friends.

The only reason I pushed my feelings down is because he likes to flirt with other women and also because I'm a raccoon and he's a human, it wouldn't really work out. I take a deep breath so my fur would loosen up before I spoke again.

"Peter if we're gonna do this please take it seriously."

"Don't worry Bullet, I'm being fully serious~"

I raise a brow confused but then I watch Peter put on his headphones and mess with his walkman. I hear music coming out of his headphones. 'Come and Get Your Love'

"Quill!! If you start dancing-" I growled at him.

But before I could finish, he already started dancing his way through the temple and kicking the water. I playfully smirk and roll my eyes at him. He loves that walkman so I guess I'll just let him have it, again. I followed him as he danced his way through the temple. I couldn't help but laugh whenever he danced. Not that he was a bad dancer, he's just a complete dork sometimes.

I watch him kick some small monster lizards coming up to him. And next thing I knew, he grabbed one of them and used it as a mic. Yeah, it's kind of hard to be in love with an idiot. I continued to follow Peter as he spun around a couple of times, turned around some beat up sign, still using that same lizard as a mic and now he's sliding down some black goo as I kept up with him. He does this all the time, so I've gotten used to it.

We both reached a cliff, looking down we see three water monsters. One of them snapped their mouth at us. Peter turned his head to me and signaled for me to get on his back. I obliged crawling on his back and held on to his shoulders as he used his rocket boots to fly across to the other side. I jumped off of him until we came up to the chamber doors.
