     As Ruby tapped her foot,she heard an explosion. "I swear if its another bomb your gonna get it Rocket..."But as she turned around the corner,what she found was the opposite of what she expected.

  It was a firework display and it was one of the most beautiful she ever'd seen,like brilliant diamonds in the night.

    As she soon found out,apparantly this was a ravager funeral. "Well its about damn time they showed honor to their good captain. Put some respect on his name,fools."she whispered,obviously not meaning anything bad behind her words.

   As she stood by the guardians' side,she heard a whisper from a certain violence-loving raccoon.

"He didn't chase them away."

"No."

"Even though he yelled at them,and was always mean...and he stole batteries he didn't need."

Taking the hint,Quill and Ruby smiled warmly as Quill responded,"Well of course not."

     Moving on to Gamora,she looked at him curiously,which didn't go unoticed. "What?"

"Its just some unspoken thing."

Amber squealed softly and before she could screech TEAM STARMORA,Ruby covered her mouth with a paw.

Now on to Mantis,she commented like an innocent child on new year's eve,"Its beautiful."

"It is. And so are you. On the inside."

Staring at the fireworks,then back to Rocket,it gave Ruby a sense of happiness she haven't really had in a long time.

Noticing her warm glance,Rocket glanced back. Its not very noticable,but for the observant like Ruby,there was a soft trance of happiness and look of love.Just not too lovey-dovey,of course. Who would want to read a book where the male and the female lead just act like love-sick puppies all the way?

These fireworks are as beautiful as her. Rocket thought. He always felt that way about Ruby ever since 8 years after they met,even if he'll never admit it.

At least not to the guardians.Ruby however,is a different matter altogether.

Maybe.Just....Maybe.
