I coughed amd wheezed a few times before I was basically scared straight out of my socks. Rocket landed right next to me with a thump. I jolted to the side, trying to move any body part away that he could accidentally land on. I took a deep breath before looking up to stare into the friendly brown eyes and cute flashing grin.
