It's been about a year since that day and I haven't seen my dad since. I feel so much better and I have to say that Rocket has really grown on me. I mean he is a friend but sometimes when I look at him or when he smiles at me I get this funny feeling in my tummy and sometimes I can hardly breathe. I don't know what it is and it kinda annoys me but anyway life is grate and I'm having the best time of my life.

Today is an off day for use because yesterday we caught a guy and they played us a lot of money. We landed on a planet that I've been on before and decide to practice my skills. I grab my jacket and am about to leave the ship when I hear Rockets voice.

Rocket: Hay Kat where are you going?

I turn to face Rocket with a smile and that funny felling comes back.

Me: There's a shooting range down the road. I was going to practice.

Rocket smiles brightly.

Rocket: Can I come?

I nod my head and he grabs his gun. After telling Groot where we're going we head out to the shooting range. It's quite a big place surrounded by trees and I pick the one furthest away from all the people. I take out my gun and shoot the target with Rocket by my side. I hit the head of the target about five times and then aim for the chest. I'm not using the gun that shoots electric bullets because that would be a waist. I sigh as I the clip empty's and reload and do the same again. Me and rocket spend almost the whole morning there and it's nice having someone with me while I do this and enjoy it with someone. My stomach rumbles and Rocket laughs at me. What's so funny about me being hungry? I stand over him and glare at him. He looks up at me and smiles at me with a cocky smile.

Rocket: How about we get something to eat?

Me: sure.

Rocket puts his gun on his back and takes my hand. We walk thought town until we find a restaurant that looks cheap. We order our food and I can tell that rocket is a little annoyed. I think that it's because of the waiter he was kinda hitting on me but I didn't take any notice of it.

Me: Are you ok Rocket?

Rocket: Yea I'm fine. Why?

Me: You just seem a little tense.

Rocket: I'm not I'm fine. How did you know that shooting range was there?

Me: I've been on this plant before. I hope Groots ok.

Rocket: He'll be fine don't worry.

Rocket smiles at me and that funny felling comes back man I hate it and I really want to know what it is. Soon our food comes and we dig in. I can't believe how hungry I am but by the end I'm full and the waiter comes back.

Waiter: Can I get you anything else?

He says looking at me.

Me: Just the bill please.

The waiter gets the bill and me and Rocket split it. Before we can leave the waiter hands me a piece of paper and I look at it to see that it has some numbers on it. It must be his number. I smile at him and hand him the paper back and walk out the restaurant with Rocket behind me. When we're out of his sight Rocket laughs.

Me: What's so funny?

Rocket: That guys face. What did he hand you anyway?

Me: His number.

Rocket: You handed him it back?

I looked at rocket to see a confused yet relived face.

Me: We'll I'm never gonna call him and I don't even know the guy so what's the point.

We make it back to the ship to find Groot asleep in the passenger seat of the ship. I smile at him because he looks so cute when he's sleeping.

Rocket: Hay, Kat? I know it's your off day and all but I think there's something wrong with the engine could you take a look?

Me: Sure.

Oh I forgot to mention I can now fix ships and stuff. I took a couple of lessons off a guy and surprisingly Rocket can't fix ships witch is strange considering that he's so smart. I head into the engine room and fix something with the wiring but other than that nothing is wrong. It's nice to spend the morning with Rocket without Groot. I don't mean to be mean but I still can't figure out what this funny feeling is. Could it be.... No it couldn't... could it?
