Bruce, Clay, Floyd, and John Dory sat on the floor near the same table that they played with the play doh at, but this time they were having a tea party with Melody.

"What a lovely day to have a tea party," Bruce said.

Melody smiled. "Tea? 😊"

"Yes, please, princess," Bruce said, holding out his tea cup while Melody pretended to pour him some tea. "Thaaaank you, Princess Melody! 😄"

Clay pretended to sip on the tea. "Mmmm, how delicious! 😋"

"Definitely, 😄" Floyd said.

John Dory pretended to slurp on the tea. "Tasty!! 😋"

Melody giggled. "Clink!"

"That's right! Clink!" Bruce said, clinking his tea cup with Melody's tea cup.

"Tea?" Melody asked her pony stuffed animal.

Floyd picked up the purple pony, speaking in a high-pitched voice. "Why, yes please, Princess Melody. I would love some tea."

Melody laughed, and so did Floyd, who couldn't stop laughing so hard. Then Bruce, Clay, and John Dory laughed too.

They continued to do their pretend tea party, clinking their cups, pretending to eat cookies.

Bruce, along with his brothers and Melody crawled around the playroom, pretending to be in the jungle.

"Now, what sound does a tiger 🐅 make?" Floyd asked Melody, holding out a tiger stuffed animal.

"Roar!!" Melody said.

"Oh, look, Mr. Lion is here too! Roooaaar!! 🦁" Bruce said, pretending to be a lion.

Melody roared and giggled.

"You make a great lion, Bruce," Floyd said.

Bruce flipped his hair. "Haha, I know!"

Melody crawled towards Bruce's hair, brushing it with her tiny hands. "Oooooooo! Pretty!"

"Awwwwww, thank you," Bruce said.

After an hour of playing, Clay carried Melody and laid her down on the changing table.

"Alright, it's time to change you...again, 😅" Clay said.

"Now are you sure that you want to do it this time? 🤨" Bruce asked in concern.

"Yeah. I want to because I'm her uncle," Clay faced Floyd who smiled and nodded at him.

"Attaboy! 😃" John Dory patted him on the back.

"Yay for you, 👏👏👏" Bruce said, clapping.

Melody giggled as Clay started to tickle her tiny feet. He quickly played peek-a-boo with her using his hair.

"Eek-a-oo!!" Melody said.

"Peek-a-boo, I see you!" Clay said.

"Aww, Clay, I never seen this soft side of you before," Floyd said.

"Me neither," John Dory said.

"Yeah, me neither," Bruce said.

Clay stopped to face his brothers with a nervous look on his face, clearing his throat before Melody grabbed one of his hair strands.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, aaaaahhhhh not too hard," Clay said.

"Pretty!" Melody said, finally letting go of one of his hair strands.

"Yeah. Pretty. Okay, here we go... 😷" Clay reached into his hair to grab a blue face mask and put it on. He slowly unfastened the diaper. 

"See? Not bad, right?" Bruce said.

He talked in a muffled way due to wearing the mask. "Yeah, you're right. She's just wet. I guess I don't need the mask. Can you help me take it off?"

"Sure, bro." John Dory helped Clay take off the face mask.

Clay grabbed a few baby wipes. "Alright, time to wipe you, Melody."

"Clean! 😊" Melody said.

Not wanting to be in the bunker for most of the day, Bruce and his brothers decided to take their little niece outside for a walk.

While walking, Bruce pushed the pink stroller where little Melody was inside, sucking on her pink pacifier while looking at her surroundings.

Melody bounced in her seat. "Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm!"

Bruce looked at her and smiled. "What? What is it? Are you happy?"

Melody looked up and sucked her pacifier.

"AWWWWWWWWWW!!! 😍😍😍😍" Bruce, Clay, John Dory, and Floyd said.

"That's adorable," Clay said.

"I feel like another cuteness overload feeling coming," Bruce said.

"Awww, this reminds me of how Branch used to suck on his pacifier when he was a baby," Floyd said.

"And the time we put him in a stroller too. See?" John Dory reached into his hair and pulled out a photo of Baby Branch in the stroller with his pacifier on.

"AAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍" Bruce, Clay, and Floyd said.

"Boy, do I miss those days, 🥺😭" Bruce said.

"Me too, 🥺" Clay said.

"Same, 🥺" John Dory said.

"So do I, 🥺🥺🥺 but at least we got Melody to kind of like relive those memories," Floyd said.

"So true, Floyd. So true," Bruce said.

They continued to walk through Pop Village where a lot of Trolls, including Synth, Holly, Demo, Biggie, Legsly, Smidge, DJ Suki, and even Cooper and his twin brother Prince D greeted them, including Melody.

After taking a ten-minute walk, they stopped for a moment due to hearing a tiny, but audible rumbling noise. Melody held onto her tummy and looked at her uncles with a surprised expression on her face.

"Are you hungry, my Melody? You must be hungry," Bruce said.

Melody opened her mouth. "Aah!"

"Here Melody, you can snack on baby puffs until we have lunch." Bruce zipped up the diaper backpack that John Dory carried, pulled out a bowl of baby puffs and gave it to her.

"Oh man, I wish I had something to snack on. All we had was oatmeal for breakfast," Clay said.

"Yeah. I'm getting hungry," Floyd said.

"Me too," John Dory said, patting his stomach.

"Here." Melody gave each of her uncles four baby puffs to snack on. This touched them sooo much that it melted their hearts. They ate their "mini" snack.

"Awwwww, thank you, Meliboo! 😊" Floyd said.

"That's so sweet of you, Melody! 😄" John Dory said.

"You are so kind to share your snack with us, Mel Mel! 😁" Clay said.

"Such the sweetest little Troll ever! 🤗" Bruce said, hugging her.

Melody munched on them, humming. "Yum, yum! 😋"

"Yum, yum, right? Alright guys, let's head back to the bunker, so we all can have some lunch," Bruce said.

~In the Bunker Kitchen~

Wearing his kitchen apron, Bruce spun around and served each of his brothers two veggie wraps for lunch.

"Lunchtime!" Bruce announced.

"Yum! Thanks, Bruce!" Floyd, John Dory, and Clay said.

Bruce then served a bowl of sliced avocados, black beans, and a tortilla on the side.

"Yummy!! Thank you!" Melody said.

Bruce smiled. "You're welcome, everyone, including you, my Melody! Now, let's eat!"

"Party in tummy!" Melody cheered.

"There's a party in my tummy!" Bruce sang.

"So yummy, so yummy!" Floyd, Clay, and John Dory sang.

~ ~ ~

After lunch, the four uncles played "Peek-a-Boo" with Melody, who kept gasping and smiling at them.

"Where is Brucey.....PEEK-A-BOO!! 🤗" Bruce said.

Melody gasped and laughed.

"Where's Clay-Clay? Here I am! 🤗" Clay said.

Melody copied him. "Eek-a-oo! 🤗"

"Where's Jon-Jon? Peek-a-boo! 🤗" John Dory said, making a silly face!"

"Eek-a-oo! 🤗" Melody said.

Floyd covered his right eye with one hand since his bang already hid his left eye already. Melody looked confused.

"Where's Flo-Flo? Peek-a-boo!! 🤗" Floyd revealed himself and moved his bang to reveal his full face.

"😮" Melody gasped and blinked at him. 

"😮😮😮" Bruce, John Dory, and Clay faced Floyd in shock as well.

Floyd looked at them. "What? 😐"

Five minutes later, Bruce, John Dory, Clay, Floyd, and Melody were in the living room, watching one of Melody's favorite tv show....

As the theme song started to play, Melody screamed in excitement and pointed at the TV.

It didn't take long for Bruce to start singing the theme song with his baby niece.

M-I-C-K-E-Y  M-O-U-S-E

"Come on, bros!" Bruce said.

Floyd, John Dory, and surprisingly Clay sang along with them too.

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

It's the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

Come inside, it's fun inside

It's the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

"My kids love this show. Whenever this comes on, we all sing the theme song, including me and my wife," Bruce said.

"We all used to love that show, especially Floyd when he was little," John Dory said.

"That's true and I still love it since I have been watching it with Melody lately," Floyd said.

"Oh Clay, you look so serious. You need to loosen up and become a kid for just one moment," Bruce shook his younger brother's shoulders in a playful way.

Clay laughed. "You're right. 😅"

"Awwww, and look how happy Melody is, 🥰" Floyd said.

"Mickey! Mickey ub! 😄" Melody said, trying to say "Mickey Club".

"Just you wait until we get to almost the end! That's one of my favorite parts! 😁" Bruce said.

"Oh, Bruce, you're young at heart," Floyd said.

Bruce laughed. "That's me! 😁"

"Huh, I wonder what would happen in this episode?" John Dory asked.

"Mickey-Go-Seek!! I used to LOVE that episode!!" Bruce said.

"Yaaay!! 🥰" Melody cheered.

***

"Ance, ance!" Melody said.

"Dance! Yes, Melody!! It's finally time!! To do the Hot Dog Dance!!! Everybody up!!" Bruce said.

Melody climbed off the couch while Floyd, John Dory, and Bruce got off the couch too, getting ready to dance. Even Clay got off the couch to join them. 

Once the music started, the four brothers danced.

At first, they danced in unison, and soon they each did their own dance, going freestyle, which Bruce liked. Melody stood and bounced on her toes.

Once the song and the show was over, everyone clapped.

"Wow, what a show! I enjoyed it!" Bruce said.

"Yeah, I like the part when we said 'Oh Toodles'!!" Floyd said.

"That's always been your favorite part," John Dory said.

"I actually had a lot of fun," Clay said.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah!" Melody said.

Bruce gasped. "Awww, you wanna try to walk?"

"Ah, ah, ah!" Melody said, reaching out towards them.

"Awww, come on! 😄" John Dory said.

"Jon-Jon!" Melody reached out towards him.

Floyd hugged her. "You can do it! 😊"

"Come on, Melody, you can do it! 😍" Bruce clapped.

"Oooohh, this is exciting! 😁📹" Clay said, holding out the camera.

"Ah, aaaahhhh!!" Melody said.

"Walk to us!" Bruce, John Dory, Clay, and Floyd got excited.

"Jon-Jon! Flo-Flo! Brucey! Clay-Clay!" Melody screamed in excitement.

"You can do it, my Melody!" Bruce said.

Melody squatted and then stood up. She reached out towards them and lifted her left foot...

They gasped.

She took one step, fell over and ended up crawling towards them.

"Oh my gosh, Melody!! You literally took one step!!" John Dory cheered.

"YAAAAAAAAY!!! 👏👏👏👏" Bruce, Clay, and Floyd clapped.

Melody smiled and clapped. "Hehehehe, yaaay!! 👏"

Bruce picked her up and laughed. "Just wait until we tell your Mommy and Daddy about this later!"

"Mommy! Dada!" Melody said.

"Yeah, when they get back home we can show them the video," Bruce said.

Melody started to yawn and laid on Bruce's shoulder. 

Bruce held onto her and smiled. "Awwww, it looks like it's nap time for you."

Melody quickly shook her head. "No! 😏"

"🤯🤯🤯🤯" Bruce, Floyd, John Dory, and Clay gasped.

"Did you just say "no"?? 😲" Bruce asked.

"No! 😆" Melody said.

"Come on, let's go get Melody to take her nap," Bruce said.

Melody bounced in Bruce's arms, singing. "La, la, la, no, no, no, no, la, la, la!" 

"Do you think we can do this?" Clay asked.

"I believe that we can," Floyd said.

"Yeah, I mean how hard could it be?" John Dory smiled confidently.
