Two hours before the incident
"This is going to be fun!" Zonia said as she skipped off the Milano's ramp joyfully and looked around at her surroundings.
"Enough with the damn skipping, pinkie. It draws way too much attention."
"Oh sorry." she said sheepishly, "I'm just so giddy right now."
"Don't be sorry. Ranger Rick here is just a dick when it comes to happiness and joy."
"Shut it, Star-Dork."
"You two are so funny, it adds to my happy mood," she giggled.
"Well that's great kiddo, I'm glad you're happy."
"Yeah," she said sweetly, "I'm finally one step closer to feeling Cain's blood on my hands."
She happily walked past them leaving them completely wide eyed and dumbfounded. They broke out of their state when Drax let out a hearty laugh. "I agree with her excitement! It does warm me to know I'm one step closer to mercilessly gutting Cain."
"No one is mercilessly gutting anyone just yet." Gamora added as she walked down the ramp. "Not until we figure out what this crystal means."
"Then what are waiting for? Come on." Zonia exclaimed.
They quickly walked off the ship lot and into the marketplace and Zonia looked in awe at the various stores and people.
"Woah, this is so pretty." she said.
Peter looked at her wide eyed. "You think this place is pretty?"
Zonia nodded her head. "Of course I do, it's very cultural and intriguing to me. It just screams beauty."
"Your eyes must be severely damaged." Drax bluntly stated.
"Zonia, you do realize this is a planet full of outlaws and trash right?"
"The only thing I see is a beautiful place with cute animals like those ones over there playing with Groot." she pointed out.
"The two orlanos and Groot fighting over a shoe." Peter said with disbelief.
"Yeah, or those kids and that old man playing with sticks."
"Uh, sweetie, I think they're mugging him."
"Oh." she said bluntly.
Peter just laughed nervously and led her and the rest of the Guardians in a different direction. "Let's go this way." he said, "We just have to go through security and we'll be in the gem market."
"It's about damn time. I wanna steal some stuff."
"What part of 'we don't want to draw attention to ourselves' don't you understand?" Gamora stated bluntly.
"What? It's not like I'm gonna get caught. I got thievin' hands."
Drax just shook his head and laughed at Rocket. "That's wrong, you have tiny baby like hands."
"BABY HANDS!" Rocket shouted in disbelief, catching nearby passerby's attention.
"Nothing to see here folks just walking our puppy." Peter said.
"PUPPY!"
"Keep your voice down." Gamora seethed. "What part of 'we don't want to draw attention to ourselves' don't any of you understand?"
"I understood it perfectly well." Zonia added, making Rocket roll his eyes. "Yeah, whatever. Keep bragging about it, pinkie."
Groot stuck his tongue out at Rocket. "I am Groot." he said enthusiastically.
