A/N: If you haven't read the fanfiction before this, then I suggest you go to my profile and read Quills so you can understand the story more. Anyways, enjoy!
Chapter one, We're going back.
Phoebe's point of view.
The weeks after Ronan had been defeated were one of the best, and most annoying, of my life. It was like I had a family again, not just Peter. Of course, I still had Peter, my big brother who would do anything for me.
Gamora had become like a sister to me. Sure, we often had our differences, but we shared a bond that I've never had with anybody before.
Drax was like another brother to me, in a way. He often cared for me, making sure I was feeling okay if I was quieter than usual, and pulling me into a hug against my will on more than one occasion.
Groot was like a little baby to me. Since being in the pot, he's made immense progress. He grew arms and got body shape, and was almost ready to come out of the pot. I went to him every day and watered his pot, and made sure he was okay. I was even there for his first 'I am Groot.'
Rocket, that was difficult. Me and him didn't have a specific name for our relationship. We often got along so well with each other, but other times we could be like worst enemies. I didn't know why we fought, but we did. It always made me feel terrible when we did, because I felt like I'd lost the person that I need the most. Rocket normally would stay away from me if he was in one of his moods, which had started to become most of the time.
Even just lounging around the ship was fun when everybody was there. Since the battle against Ronan, Peter had gotten extremely overprotective of me, causing the others to catch onto his drift. I wasn't aloud to leave the ship for a week after the battle because of my rib. Even when it was fine, Peter made me stay on the ship.
It was nice to have him back and caring towards me. The two years I spent without him were the hardest of my life. However, sometimes he could be a bit much to handle.
I had healed well. With all of the medicine Rocket had managed to smuggle from Xandar, it didn't take long until I was almost better. My side still got sore from time to time, but I had been making progress. Enough progress that Peter finally let me leave the ship.
The day started off as usual. I was the first one up on the ship, so I decided to take a wander around. The good thing about the new ship was that it was so much cleaner than the last one. Peter had made it a lot worse than when we first got it, but I cleaned up anything I saw.
I wandered around until I found Groot's pot by the sound system. He smiled and waved his little arm at me when I came into view.
"Hey buddy." I smiled, carefully grabbing his pot and making my way over to our kitchen area. I put him down on the side and went over to the sink with a plastic cup. I carefully poured the water into his pot then sat on the counter next to Groot.
"You'll be able to come out of your pot, soon." I said gently, stroking the side of his face with my finger. He smiled at me.
"I am Groot?" He asked in a tiny voice. I smiled hearing him.
"Ya know, he doesn't need a babysitter." I flinched, almost falling off of the counter. I looked up to see Rocket smirking, leaning against the doorframe.
"Don't do that!" I held a hand over my chest, causing him to chuckle. I got off of the counter and grabbed Groot gently, before making my way out of the room.
"Quill said we're goin' back to Xandar today." Rocket said from behind him. I looked back at him once I put Groot back.
"You mean you guys are going to Xandar." I said, looking at him. He shrugged.
"I dunno, maybe you'll be let out of the prison today." He smirked. I rolled my eyes.
"You think it's funny. I'm going insane!" I exclaimed, exasperated. "He won't even let me stand right outside!" Rocket just chucked again.
Peter walked into the room and smiled, making me give Rocket a look that said speak of the devil...
"Right, game plan." I rolled my eyes, leaning on the wall behind me.
"You don't need a game plan for everything." I mumbled. Peter ignored my comment and carried on.
"We need to go to Xandar and stock the ship because somebody ate all of the food." He glared in the direction on Drax's room, making me chuckle slightly.
"Anyways, since we haven't been able to do something because of your recovery," Peter gestured to me.
"Bullshit." I coughed, making Peter glare at me.
"I thought we could find a nice place to celebrate saving Xandar, with you." Peter looked over at me and grinned.
"Wait, so my sentence is over?" I asked sarcastically. Peter rolled his eyes.
"Haha, funny, but you know you had to stay here." I rolled my eyes again.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." I mumbled, walking away towards my room to get ready.
XxX
"Alright, Xandar." Peter said as the planet came into view.
"How long will we have to stay there for?" I asked, sitting in the co-pilot seat again. Peter shrugged.
"I dunno, we should probably re-stock everything so we're set for a while. Plus we're still goin' out to eat." He grinned at the mention of food. I rolled my eyes, though I grinned as well. As we came closer to the planet, the others made their way to the front of the ship, too.
"At least there's no blue nut-jobs this time." Rocket mumbled from behind me. I shrugged.
"There might be, you never know." I mumbled. Peter entered the atmosphere of the planet and came closer to the ground as we spoke.
Xandar looked as beautiful as ever. The sky was a bright blue, and the suns rained light on the city. Looking closer, I could see many builders and repairmen fixing the damage that Ronan had managed to create on the world. Everybody was out enjoying the weather, and it reminded me of the day I met everybody else.
Peter landed the ship where there was the least amount of people, not wanting to accidentally squash somebody, after a comment Rocket had made a few minutes before. I unbuckled my harness and got up, quickly running to my room. I grabbed my jacket and made sure I had my Walkman, before going to meet up with the others. The hatch was already open when I got there, so I quickly stepped out of the Milano before Peter could change his mind.
"Freedom!" I exclaimed when I got outside. Rocket chuckled as well as Gamora, watching me as if I was a toddler.
"What? You'd all be this happy if you were stuck in there for two weeks." I defended, pointing to the ship. Rocket rolled his eyes.
Before I could do anything to protest, Drax came over to me and hugged me tight, lifting me off of the floor as he squeezed the life out of me.
"Finally, Phoebe has been released from the confinements of the ship!" He boomed above me.
"Drax...I can't breathe..." I rasped out. He immediately put me down, though he was still grinning.
"Dude, don't kill her straight away!" Peter said, looking at Drax. I looked around at the city and smiled. I had lived here for two years of my life, and had never had the chance to enjoy it. I was always feeling horrible, wether it was because of what Peter did, or that I had gotten into an argument with some Xandarians. Then the second time I had come to Xandar was to fight Ronan, and the only things I felt was fear for Ronan, and then pain for my injury. I had a chance to enjoy the city with Peter. I looked at my brother and smiled innocently.
"Peter?" I asked, going up to him.
"Yeah?" He looked over at me.
"So, you know that I'm your favourite person?" I asked. He rolled his eyes.
"Debatable. What do you want?"
"Well, since I've never really had a good time here can I go and wander around the city for a bit?" I asked quickly. He rolled his eyes again.
"Fine, but once the ship is locked up we're going to get some food." I grinned and thanked him, before running off in another direction of the city.
I started to get deja vu as I strolled round the main part of the city. I soon realised that the water fountain I was walking towards was the same one I was near when Rocket first tried to kidnap with me. With my Walkman playing music in my ears, it was almost the same situation.
"I can't stop this feeling, deep inside of me." I started to sing along to another one of my favourite songs quietly as I walked through town.
"Girl you just don't realise, what you do to me." I looked to the floor and started to step to the beat of the song.
"When you hold me, in your arms so tight." I started to dance to the music, shuffling my feet and doing slight hand gestures.
"You let me know, everything's alright." I started to sing louder, closing my eyes as I got into the music.
"I'm hooked on a-" I bumped into somebody and stumbled backwards, tripping over my own feet and falling to the floor.
"Shit I'm sorry!" I immediately apologised, taking off my headphones and wrapping them around my neck. I looked up and saw a guy standing there, looking apologetic, himself. His skin was a pink colour like most other Xandarians around here. His hair was black and was quite messy, falling in his eyes. He looked quite tall, maybe Peter's height. I couldn't help but look at him. He looked perfect.
"Uhm, miss? Are you okay?" I blushed when I realised I had been staring at him for a little too long.
"Yeah, sorry about that." I said with a nervous smile. He reached down and held out his hand, which I gladly took, and was helped to my feet.
"Is that Terran music you were singing?" He asked. I blushed a deeper red when I realised he had heard me.
"Y-yeah it was. I'm Terran." I shrugged, trying to hide my embarrassment. The guy looked astounded. Obviously he had never met a human before, as they had never left earth.
"Really?" He asked, amazed. "I thought Terrans stayed on their planet." I nodded my head.
"They do. I was taken as a child." I explained.
"Oh I'm sorry." He apologised.
"No it's fine. I don't mind." I smiled at him. He looked at me for a second, before shaking his head.
"Oh how rude of me. I'm Soren." He held out his hand again. I took it and shook it gently.
"I'm Phoebe." He pulled my hand towards his lips and brushed them against the back of it, smiling, before dropping my hand.
"A pleasure." I blushed, smiling.
"So, Phoebe, what brings you to Xandar?" He asked.
"Oh, um, I'm here with my brother and our friends, and he wanted to take us out to eat." Soren nodded his head, smiling.
"So...will I see you again around here?" He asked. I shrugged, smiling at him.
"Maybe. I think we're leaving our ship here over night." He nodded his head.
"I actually need to go, they'll be waiting for me." I said, frowning. Soren frowned too, for a second, before giving another breathtaking smile.
"Well, it was a pleasure to meet you." I smiled.
"You too, Soren."
"See you around." He said with a wink, before he walked away. I sighed and watched him walk for a second, before putting my headphones back on and making my way back to the ship.
There you go! Chapter one of my sequel. As you can tell, this isn't based off of Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2. No, this is a separate storyline of my own. I would like to thank XxWolfLord95xX for the idea of this, it's really helped me out. I'm so excited to get the second part of this out. I'm really happy with how vol. 1 turned out, so I have high hopes for this one. So, what did you think? What do you think of Soren? Is Phoebe falling a little too hard for him? Reviews and suggestions are much appreciated. Thank you for reading!
