Plot[]

Groot goes on many adventures as a baby. Another tree steals his spot on the table, so he attacks it in hopes that he can get his spot back. Eventually the two tree's fall to the ground, breaking Groot's pot. He then emerges with feet and is able to run around. Later, he goes to a planet where he finds a tiny species called Grunds. He terrorizes them thinking he is being playful. Eventually, they attack him which scares the baby tree enough to fart a leaf. The Grunds thankfully eat it as the leaves are their source of food. A happy Groot gathers up more leaves for them, but doesn't watch where he is going. He steps on all of the Grunds, walking away as if nothing happened.

Groot wakes up in the Quadrant from a loud noise. He eventually finds that it was made by a shape shifting alien named Iwua. Groot has a dance off until he leads Iwua to the escape hatch and sends him into space. Another time, Groot is back on the Grunds' planet and finds a puddle. He takes a bath and finds out the mud helps him grow leaves. He makes various hairstyles, but is also very loud, annoying a pink alien bird. The bird has had enough and attacks Groot. Groot then realizes the mud is gone, so he cuts off all of the birds hair and uses it as a scarf.

Back on the Quadrant, Groot decides to make a picture of the Guardians of the Galaxy. He gathers up many things to use and eventually creates a bomb in hopes of getting glitter for his drawing. Rocket Raccoon hears the explosion and investigates. He finds Groot, who shows him the drawing. Rocket forgives him, but another explosion is set off. Rocket falls into a crater, but Groot catches him.
