Prompt: Write a scene that includes a character speaking in a different language, speaking in a thick accent, or otherwise speaking in a way that is unintelligible to the other characters. (Note: You don't necessarily need to know the language the character is speaking - be creative with it!)
Story:
"How's he doing rocket?" Peter asked, looking concerned.
"Still sleeping" He replied, looking at the little plant. "We'll probably wait another day, give or take"
"Okay" Peter went out.
"Just take your time little guy. I'll be here" Rocket whispered calmly at the tired plant. Eyes closed, chest breathing lightly, little leaves spread about his head.
"Is the little plant awake?" In came Drax stomping into the bedroom.
"Shhh Shhh! Quiet. You'll wake him up!" Rocket tried to push the big guy out the room, he succeeded but barely. They were standing in between the corridor and the bedroom. "Listen, you can't just keep barging in and making noise like that."
"Oh. I just thought the puny plant had woken up. I wanted to give it a hug." Drax scratched his hairless scalp.
"No, that will crush him. Just go" Drax was just about to leave when the bedroom door suddenly cracked open.
"Groot?" Groot spoke in a tiny voice, crawling out of the bedroom.
"Groot!" Rocket cheered.
"THE BABY PLANT IS AWAKE!" Drax screamed.
"I am groot" Groot said.
"What's he saying?" Drax questioned.
"I am groot" Groot said.
"Okay little guy. I'll be right back." Rocket started running towards the main deck of the ship. "Watch him Drax!" He ordered.
"I can see him just fine" Drax replied.
"I am groot." Groot spoke to Drax.
"Hi groot. I am Drax. Do you remember me?" Drax knelt down to talk to baby Groot.
"I am groot" Groot replied.
"What does that mean?" Drax asked.
"I am groot" Groot replied and started crawling back into the bedroom.
"Wait. What are you saying?" Drax questioned, following Groot inside the bedroom.
"I am Groooooooot" Groot screamed, as loud as a baby can.
"I don't get iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit" Drax joined in on the screaming as well.
"What are you two dunderheads doing?" Rocket comes in with water.
"I am groot" Groot exclaimed.
"He started it" Drax pointed to Baby Groot.
"Well I'm ending it, now out" Rocket was pushing hard to draw Drax out of the bedroom.
"But he started it!" Drax repeated himself.
"I don't care. Out!" Rocket was persistent.
"I am groot" Groot smiled.
"What were you two doing?" Rocket asked baby Groot.
"I am groot" Groot started.
"Uh huh." Rocket followed.
"I am groot. I am groot." Groot said.
"Well you both are stupid. Now drink up." Rocket gave Groot the water he brought.
