~At Spruce's Place~

Spruce (also known as Bruce in his family) returned home with a lot of chaos. His kids weren't in bed yet as they wanted to see him. After putting the kids to bed, he said goodnight to them and talked to his wife Brandi about hosting a BroZone Sleepover tomorrow.

A few minutes later, Spruce went into his bedroom. Yes, he had his own personal bedroom, also known as his man cave. It was filled with his favorite items, posters, and a huge photograph of himself, which he loved dearly. He changed into some gray shorts and took off his vest, not minding to be half naked since he's all alone in his own bedroom. He grabbed his laptop from his desk and sat on his bed, opening his laptop.

Spruce cracked his knuckles. "Okay, time to find and book the perfect hotel room. Hmmm...near the beach....around five to ten minutes to walk there. Hmmm...let's see what I can find here."

He continued to look some more for hotel rooms.

~At Branch's Bunker~

After changing back into his usual clothes and doing his bedtime routine, Branch walked into his bedroom and greeted his remote control son Gary who sat on his bed.

Gary said nothing to him, but Branch nodded, knowing that it was his son's way of communicating. Okay, he would make interesting crackling noises too, but tonight, he was communicating in silence.

Branch got down onto the bed's level, eyeing Gary. "Daddy's going to a sleepover tomorrow, so he must make a quick list of what he needs. Okay? Then we'll have Daddy and Son bonding time of reading a book, okay?"

Again, Gary said nothing, but he fell forward on the bed, which Branch indicated that he was responding with a yes. Branch made Gary stand on the bed again, grabbed a notebook and pen, creating this list of what he needed for the sleepover.

Things to Bring

1. Pajamas

2. Robe

3. Toiletries (Toothbrush, toothpaste, toilet paper, etc.) (DO IT TOMORROW!)

4. Extra clothes

5. Phone charger

6. A few games

7. Croco my crocodile stuffed animal????

"Okay, all I've to do is to find the items that I need for this BroZone Sleepover," Branch said.

He started following his list one by one.

~At Floyd's Pod~

Floyd was multitasking: Dancing, Listening to music on his MP3 Player and packing his backpack.

[I LOVE the Fluttershy cover for Roar]

(Go to 0:49 of the video)

🎶 I got the eye of the tiger 🎶

🎶 A fighter 🎶

🎶 Dancing through the fire 🎶

🎶 'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar 🎶

🎶 Louder, louder than a lion 🎶

🎶 'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar 🎶

Floyd kept dancing, twirling around and bopping his head to the beat of the song. He stopped by his drawer and pulled it open.

"What do I need to bring?" He rummaged through his drawer. "I need to bring clothes, swim pants, black sweater—um, um, um—blanket—ooh—do I need my pillow?"

Floyd couldn't help but to dance with his pillow. He changed the song into ballroom music and he danced along with the soft music. 

https://youtu.be/AIp_9eAt2Cc

Dancing with his pillow, Floyd imagined as if he was dancing with someone. He closed his eyes, sighing and kept doing this waltz dance.

By the end of the song, he spun around, putting his pillow into his backpack. "Just in case."

Floyd went through his drawers, searching for a pair of pajamas.

~At Clay's Bedroom~

Clay breakdanced all around and packed his backpack at the same time while making up his own song listening to the "So What" instrumental.

https://youtu.be/CPd0ZnjDY9Q

🎶 Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na 🎶

🎶 Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na 🎶

🎶 I guess I just lost my comfy pajamas, I don't know where they went 🎶

🎶 So I'm gonna spend all night long, I'm going to wear my funderdrawers 🎶

🎶 I got a brand new attitude and, I'm gonna wear it tonight 🎶

🎶 I wanna get in trouble, I wanna start a prank 🎶

🎶 Na, na, na, na, na, na, na I wanna start a prank 🎶

🎶 Na, na, na, na, na, na, na I'm going to prank my brothers 🎶

🎶 So So What? 🎶

🎶 I'm still a prankster, I've got my prank moves 🎶

🎶 And I don't need to worry 🎶

🎶 Guess what? 🎶

🎶 I'll be having more fun, and when I prank them 🎶

🎶 I'm going to show them tomorrow 🎶

🎶 And they will be shock 🎶

🎶 So So What? 🎶

🎶 I am a prankster, I've got my prank moves 🎶

🎶 And I don't need to worry at all 🎶

He danced and jumped on his bed in his funderdrawers. He ate more cookies too as he continued to act silly and have fun while making the time to pack.

~Back at Spruce's Bedroom~

After ten minutes of looking around, Spruce found and booked a hotel room. Getting excited, he pulled out his huge suitcase, and walked towards his wardrobe.

Spruce opened his wardrobe, which was filled with lots of clothes. "Okay....time to start packing....but what should I pack?"

He looked through his wardrobe. He had tons of swim shorts to pairs of pajamas to vests that looked just like the one he was wearing at the moment. He also had jackets to pairs of underwear with different patterns on them. Overall, he had a lot of clothes, which he blamed on the shopping spree that he loved to do in his spare time.

"Hmmm....obviously I'm going to bring my same pair of clothes that I'm wearing now." He grabbed them from the drawers. "But what about my pajamas? There's so much to choose from in my wardrobe."

He pulled out random pajama shorts from the drawer. Now these pajama shorts were the ones that his kids got him for Father's Day.......

He blushed. To Spruce, they looked like underwear, which he wouldn't wear these pajama shorts out in public, except when he's at home. It wasn't proper for a BroZone Sleepover. What would it be like if he wore that in front of his brothers?? Total embarrassment. He wouldn't even dare, so he put them away.

He picked out a few pairs of pajamas to the point where he picked out a pile of pajamas, including several sleep masks.

"How can I decide what to pack? Hmmmm......." Spruce pondered for a bit until he gasped. "Solo Fashion Show."

~~~

~10 minutes later~

Spruce tried out many pairs of pajamas to eye masks to a few clothes, staring at himself in the mirror, and so far, he picked out two pairs of pajamas, one sleep mask, but when he came around to picking swim shorts......

Spruce stared at the pile of swim shorts. "Time to try some swim shorts out............or........"

~Outside the Troll Supermarket~

Finished packing, John Dory drove Rhonda all the way to the nearest Troll Supermarket that was opened until 11 pm, which it was already 9 pm.

John Dory parked Rhonda. "How could we forget one of the most important necessities for a BroZone Sleepover: Snacks!"

Rhonda grumbled and made a noise of annoyance.

John Dory hugged her. "Don't worry. I'm going to pick you a snack too. Apples? No? What about......pickles? No. Oh, right, that's a me thing. Hmm....what about ice cream? Vanilla?"

Rhonda nodded and hopped around, nuzzling John Dory who laughed and hugged her again. She made a noise of excitement and stood on her back legs.

John Dory smiled. "Okay, girl. Vanilla ice cream's coming up."

In his pajamas, John Dory grabbed a shopping cart, pushed it as if it was a skateboard, and rode it towards the entrance. 

~~~

~In the Troll Supermarket~

After a minute of strolling through the Troll Supermarket, he made his way to the snack aisle. He picked out cookies to tortilla blue corn chips to salsa to chocolate chips. It didn't take him long to get to the ice cream aisle.

─── · 。ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

~Back at Floyd's Bedroom~

Floyd put the last item into his backpack, taking off his headphones. "Wow, I've got the packing done in just five minutes, though I need to buy me new pajamas tomorrow before 5 pm."

He sat on his chair, picked up a piece of paper, pencil and put back on his headphones. He picked out a different song and this time something more soft and relaxing, but not too relaxing as this troll with magenta hair didn't want to fall asleep. He couldn't. This song project that he just got into was important.

Floyd looked at the piece of paper and smiled. "For now, I can work on this surprise song for my brothers tomorrow."

Floyd put his backpack near his bedside, sat at his desk, opened his notebook and opened the cap of his pen. He got into his songwriting mode as he began to write, listening to the soothing music.

─── · 。ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

~Back at Clay's Bedroom~

After finishing packing, he decided to spend the next thirty minutes going on his laptop and searching for.....pranks and supplies he needed for them.

Clay smiled and laughed in a mischievous way. "Now. I'm going to prepare some pranks that I can do on my brothers. I'm so going to prank all my brothers tomorrow....especially Spruce."

Of course, he didn't forget about what he told his 2nd oldest brother years ago about pranking him so good that it would embarrass him. Was he actual serious? Yes, his personality might've changed a bit into being serious, but not fully as he was being serious about pranking Spruce.

"Ha, jokes will be on"—Clay pretended to be a DJ and made a noise as if it was a record scratching—"him."

─── · 。ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

~Back at Branch's Bunker~

Branch added Croco last, stuffing him at the bottom of his backpack. He put his backpack to the side and laid on his bed.

Branch wiped his forehead. "Phew, I'm all done with packing....time to relax and get ready for bed."

Gary said nothing, which Branch looked in shock at him. Out of the blue, Gary made a crackling noise.

Branch gasped. "Oh, right. Daddy and son bonding time. I'm sorry. Story-time."

─── · 。ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

~Back at the Troll Supermarket~

John Dory arrived at the front, ready to pay for the snacks, and once the cashier scanned them all, she gave him a look. He looked at the total price in total shock. He blinked at the price and at the cashier who she didn't look as amused. In fact, she looked as if she was ready to leave for the night.

The cashier spoke in a tired voice. "That would be fifty dollars, sir."

John Dory shouted. "Dang!"

There was a moment of silence. The cashier blinked at him. John Dory blinked at her, then at the items, at the price, and back at the cashier.

John Dory coughed. "Dang! How many snacks did I put in the shopping cart to equal fifty dollars? Dang. Alright. I'm sorry to do this, but.................."

John Dory opened his wallet, pulling out the money, slamming sixty dollars onto the desk. The cashier gave him an unamused look while he smiled at her. She sighed, rolled her eyes, and gave him a ten dollar bill.

"Have a nice day," the cashier replied in an annoying way.

JD held onto her hand. "Miss, you just saved my poor piggy bank. Thank you."

He winked at her, which she gave him a weird look.

How in the world does Spruce do it with charming the ladies when it comes to his wink? JD, focus. You've got to prepare for a sleepover, not flirting with random girls, okay? Plus, she has a ring on her finger. Must be married. No wonder she felt uncomfortable. Oops. 

He let go of her hand. "Sorry. My bad. Have a wonderful night."

John Dory grabbed his shopping cart filled with bags of snacks and left the Troll Supermarket, carrying bags of snacks. Rhonda came to him in a flash, making noises of happiness and wiggling around.

He opened the pint of vanilla ice cream. "Come and get it girl."

─── · 。ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

~Back at Spruce's Bedroom~

Spruce placed the last item inside his 2nd suitcase, closing it. He moved his two suitcases aside and laid on his bed, sighing in relief.

"Phew, packing's all done. Time to text my brothers." Spruce grabbed his phone.
