"SHE WAS A FAST MACHINE!"

"SHE KEPT HER MOTOR CLEAN!"

"SHE WAS THE BEST DAMN WOMAN THAT I HAD EVER SEEN!"

"SHE HAD SIGHTLESS EYES, TELLING ME NO LIES!"

"KNOCKIN' ME OUT WITH THOSE AMERICAN THIGHS!"

Both screamed the lyrics as they came on the screen, strumming at toy instruments. The two were on the plane, playing Guitar Hero on the projection tv.

"Keep it down," Gamora called from the cockpit.

"WORKING DOUBLE TIME ON THE SEDUCTION LINE, SHE WAS ONE OF A KIND JUST MINE OH MINE!"

"WANTED NO APPLAUSE, JUST ANOTHER COURSE. MADE A MEAL OUT OF ME AND CAME BACK FOR MORE!"

They only yelled louder.

Both finished the song with exhaustion, but laughter. Rocket and Groot had been watching from the couch and stood for their turn. Grace and Peter sunk into the couch, her head on his shoulder.

"That was quite impressive, Peter. You sing better than you fly, and you're a decent flier."

"Gee thanks," he chuckled. The two watched as Rocket explained to Groot how to play, twice. Rocket took a play guitar and set the base of it on the ground, due to how small he was compared to it.

Groot stood with the strap awkwardly hitched on a bark-coated shoulder.

"Ready?" Rocket asked.

"I am Groot," Groot replied. Rocket took it as a yes and started the next song. He'd, of course, nailed every note and even hummed a little.

Groot attempted multiple times, only to scratch up the guitar's keys. He had enough and surrendered it to a guitar stand. Peter and Grace applauded at the end of the song, and let Rocket go again.

Peter's arm went around Grace's shoulders and held her closer now that they caught their breath. He kissed her hairline and she looked up at him.

"You have to be a little more rock-n-roll than that," she pulled him into a kiss. He grinned.
