Chris Felhopher (A Rocket Raccoon Series) Book 1

Chapter 10 Getting Clean

Chris opened his eyes from his dream, he felt like almost his father was speaking to him in his dreams but he didn't understand so Chris just ignored it. Chris yawned and stretched off of the bed, Chris walked over to his door and pressed a button to open it. Rocket was coming out of his room as well.

"Good morning," Chris said with a smile.

"Hey," Rocket answered with him still half asleep.

Chris wasn't sure what was wrong with Rocket but he heard a rocking sound coming from his room in the middle of the night, but Chris was focused on the present right now. Chris walked on over to the bags that he set on the kitchen counter.

"I found myself in my room when I woke up was that you?" Rocket asked.

Chris nodded smiling in response. Rocket just shrugged. Chris took out the clothes first then set them on the counter then he grabbed the black and orange suit.

"Rocket," Chris said as he threw the suit to Rocket, "Got an outfit for you, I think you might like."

"Thanks," Rocket says as he grabs the suit and heads toward the bathroom, "I'll take a bath, while I'm at it."

Chris nodded in response. Chris grabbed some towels and helped get Rocket set up.

"Enjoy," Chris said smiling.

Rocket then climbed into the shower as Chris shut the bathroom door behind him. Chris was in his room putting on his new shoes, and shirt. Chris had his new shoes on, with his earth shorts, his tech shirt, and over it was one of his hoodies from earth where he wore his red one, which red was his favorite color.

Chris looked himself in the mirror showing himself off, "Looking good," Chris told himself.

Chris opened his bedroom door to be out in the hallway Chris heard the water in the shower stop, telling Chris that he was all clean which was good so he didn't have blood in his fur. Chris sat in a chair in the main room waiting for Rocket. Chris then looked up seeing Rocket in his suit.

"You look nice, Rocket," Chris says.

"Yeah it fits," Rocket says, checking himself out.

"Hey...uhh...Chris. You've done so much, and I was asking if I could stay here with you," Rocket asked.

Chris looked at his tail seeing it turn and move.

"Yeah I think I could use the company and after all we're friends aren't we?" Chris saying to Rocket.

Rocket smiled, "Your right."

Rocket then jumped onto the table to reach Chris's height.

"So where are we going?" Rocket asks.

"I honestly don't know? Although Rocket I still want to find my father he disappeared and I think he's in space somewhere I need to find him," Chris replies.

"Then I'll help you find him," Rocket says smiling.

Chris then grabs Rocket and hugs him in his arms, "Thank you Rocket," Chris says.

"Okay space," Rocket says, a little disturbed.

"Hey if you're going to stay on my ship then you'll need to know how to get used to hugging," Chris replies with a smirk.

"Ha ha very funny," Rocket says sarcastically.
