"Way to go Star-dork. Thanks to you, we have to stop to get more fertilizer for Groot," Rocket shouted as he was going down the Milano's ramp. Peter turned around when he heard Rocket's comment.

"Hey it's not my fault that you blasted Groot's fertilizer."

"Well I wouldn't have blasted Groot's fertilizer if you hadn't thrown your stupid purse at my face," spat Rocket.

"Okay one, it's a knapsack, and two, I didn't mean to throw it at your face. It was an accident."

"Was not."

"Was too."

"WAS NOT."

"WAS TOO."

" WAS NOT. "

" WAS TOO. "

"ENOUGH." shouted Gamora who was currently inside the Milano. She had watched as the two so called "grownups" argued like small children fighting over a toy.

They both shut up quickly but glared at one another coldly.

"You two are squawking like small birds." stated Gamora who was looking at both of them.

"I do not hear the squawking that you speak of, I only hear Quill and Rocket arguing," stated Drax, as he was going down the Milano's ramp.

"We have seriously got to teach Drax about metaphors. But that's beside the point. I need you two to get the fertilizer." Peter transferred Rocket the units on his data pad to buy the fertilizer for Groot.

"Why the hell do we have to get it, and who's gonna keep an eye on Groot?"

"Gamora and me have important matters to discuss, so we'll stay behind and watch over Groot"

"Important matters my ass. You just want us out of the ship while you try to get her in your pants."

"Won't that be hard because your pants are too small even for you?" stated Drax as he got next to Rocket.

Rocket smirked at Drax's comment and let out a laugh, "Well put Drax, well put Drax."

"Just go already. Me and Gamora will keep an eye on Groot while you two are gone." Peter turned around and started to walk up towards the Milano's cockpit to talk to Gamora.

"Yeah,yeah whatever Star-dork." Rocket shouted as he and Drax were walking away from the Milano in search of fertilizer for Groot.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Zonia was annoyed.

She had been on her own for four months, two weeks, and two days. She had been keeping count of the days. During those long months she had been going to every single pawn shop, antique shop, and jewelry shop across the galaxy, but they all had one thing in common: they didn't have what she was looking for, which was an answer. No one seemed to know what it was, or where its place of origin, making Zonia feel very frustrated, and it also didn't help her situation that she was being hunted down by countless bounty hunters.

The broker was examining the small crystal in his hand, it was unlike anything he had ever seen before. It had a bluish, purple color and hardly weighed anything.

"I have never seen anything like this my dear. It is very unique. Tell me, where exactly did you get it from?"

Zonia shrugged her shoulders. "That's just the thing. I don't know where it came from, my father gave it to me."

"Well it does look like it's worth a few units. How does 100 units sound?"

Zonia just closed her eyes and took a deep breath through her nose. "Sir, as I have told you before, it's not for sale. All I am looking for is information."

She snatched the crystal from his hand and put it in her satchel. She was turning towards the exit when all of a sudden a huge burly man walked through the door.

The broker nervously gulped. "Can I help you with anything?"

"No, but she certainly can." He had put his big beefy hand on her shoulder and was squeezing it.

"You're coming with me."

She then turned her head towards the man, and gave him a smirk. "I don't think so. Either you walk out of here now or I'll break your nose, but not before I bruise your genitals."

The broker raised his hands. "Why don't you take this outside?"

"Shut it old man." The bounty hunter growled.

He cracked his massive knuckles. "I'm going to enjoy this. Easiest three billion units I've ever earned."

He threw his fist at her, but she dodged it and grabbed his other fist and squeezed. She felt his bones crack in her fist.

"Ah,you little bitch."

She just raised her eyebrow at his comment and tilted her head in confusion.

"I do not know what this term means."

He then tried to punch her with his free hand, but she just dodged it and raised her leg and kicked him hard, straight in his genitals.

He fell on the floor in pain and was gripping his bruised genitals in pain. "I thought you said you would break my nose."

"Are you calling me a liar, good sir?"

She then gave him an uppercut punch and broke his nose. He then fell backwards and was knocked out.

Zonia then wiped the man's blue blood off of her gloves and then looked at the broker. He was against the wall and had his hands raised high in the air.

"Take whatever you like just don't hurt me."

Zonia just rolled her eyes and walked towards him. "I'm not going to rob you or hurt you."

She then leaned towards his ears and whispered in an eerily calm voice, "But if you tell anyone, and I mean ANYONE, that I was here I ' ll gouge out your eyes and slit your throat where you stand."

The brokers' eyes went wide when he heard her comment. He was speechless.

Zonia then kissed his cheek and pat it. "I bid you farewell well, good sir."

She then turned around and started to walk towards the exit.

Before she left, she pointed to the bounty hunter on the floor."You might want to throw him outside before he stinks up the place."

With that last comment, she left leaving the broker completely baffled trying to process what just happened.

He looked around his store and saw the bounty hunter groaning in pain,on the floor bleeding.

"Why do all the crazies walk in here?"
