~On Vacay Island~

On The Island Where Every Day Is A Vacay, The Vacaytioners And Some Trolls Were Enjoying The Sun And Tropical Atmosphere.

Meanwhile, In The Noodle Jungle, Where It's Filled With Pool Floaties, Branch Was Doing Some Tube Surfing Throughout The Jungle.

Using His Sick Moves And Flips, Some He Learned From One Of His Older Brothers, Branch Smoothly Did His Tricks Along The Jungle Plants With A Radical Happy Expression.

"WOOOOOHOOOO! YEAH! HAHA!"
Branch Yelled Out As Excitedly As Can Be, Having Some Me-Time To Himself As He Tube Surfed.

Finishing Up With A Epic Pose On The Sun Reflection In The Sky, Branch Landed Down On A Noodle Plant, Holding His Tube In His Arm.

"Whew!"
Branch Shook Himself Off, Taking A Little Stretch As He Was About To Continue.

"YO BRO!"
John Dory, The Oldest Brother Of Branch And BroZone Member, Interrupted Next To Branch.

"AH! JOHN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING???"
Branch Flinched, At His Square Of A Brother.

"Just Letting You Know We're Gonna Be Leaving Soon To Head To Our Cousin's Wedding....OKAY! BYEEEE!"
John Dory Used His Hair And Swooped Away.

Branch Blinked And Shook His Head.
"Wait! Wait! Our Cousin???"

~~~

~At Bruce & Son's (And One Daughter) Catina~

Inside The Catina Restaurant And Spa, It Was Closing Up For The Rest Of The Day As The Employees Cleaned Up.

Meanwhile, The BroZone Brothers, Bruce (Formally Known As "Spruce"), Clay, Floyd, And As Well As Poppy And Her Older Sister Viva, Stayed At The Catina Together.

"Our Cousin Is Having A Wedding?! THAT'S GREAT NEWS!"
Poppy Said, Getting Excited.

"You Got That Right Poppy Seed! 👉"
John Dory Gave A Finger Gun At Poppy.

Coming From The Noodle Jungle, Branch Made It Inside The Catina To See What All The Wedding Fuss Was About.

Poppy Gasped And Jumped Onto Branch's Vest.
"BRAAAANCCCCHHH!!!! YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU HAD A SECRET COUSIN?!?!?! STOP KEEPING FAMILY MEMBERS FROM ME!"

Branch Gently Grabbed Poppy's Waist And Put Her Down.
"Whoa Whoa Whoa, First Of All, Cousin's Aren't Secret. We All Have Some Out In The World. Second Of All, OUR COUSIN?!?!?"

"Yep Little Brother, Our Cousin Has Invited Us To Her Wedding! She Just Sent Us A Letter"
John Dory Handed Branch Over The Letter.

Branch Took The Letter From John Dory And Began To Read It Out Loud As He Opened It.

✉️ Dear BroZone Cousins,
It's Me! Cousin Zeidea! I'm Happy To Announce I'M GETTING MARRIED TO MY NEW FIANCÉ! I Recently Heard You Boys Got The Band Back Together And I'd Be Thrilled If You Can All Make It And Perform!
We'll Be Tieing The Knot In Hitched Hills In 5 Days.
If You Do Come, WEAR YOUR GOLD & WHITE TUXEDOS! 👹
Hope To See You All Then! ✉️

Branch Scratched His Head At The Letter.
"Huh...I Guess She Really Wants Us To Wear Gold And White?"

"She Has Good Taste!"
Poppy Replied, Glancing At The Letter.

"That's Not The Point Branch, She's Inviting BroZone To A Wedding! What An Honor Right?! We Have To Go! Plus, She Is Family"
John Dory Shrugged.

Bruce Turned From Wiping Counters And Faced His Brothers.
"Hold On, Cousin Zeidea? Doesn't Ring A Bell"

"She's That Cousin Who Came By Every Holiday And Gave Us Those Painful Head Noogies"
John Dory Replied.

"Head Noogies?....OHHHHH! Noogie Z! I Remember Her! Those Noogies Almost Gave Me A Bald Spot.."
Bruce Nodded.

Floyd Sipped On His Drink And Came Over.
"She's Getting Married?? That's So Sweet! To Whom Though?"

"Not Sure, Didn't Say On The Letter. But Who Caresss? What Matters Is She Wants BroZone To Come And Perform! And Now That We've Reunited For A Week, It'll Be Great For Us!"
John Dory Told Them.

"ANOTHER FAMILY REUNION?!? This Just Keeps Getting Better And Better For You Branch!"
Poppy Said.

"Oh Yeah Totally, Our First Gig In The Last 20 Years At A Wedding For Our Cousin! Can't Get Any More Family Reunion Than That"
Branch Chuckled.

Clay Came Over With His Notepad.
"Wait Wait Hold Up Ya'll, Now Will We Be Getting Paid For This Gig? Just Asking Cause Our Expenses For It Could Be Sky High"

"Clay, You Can't Put A Price On Family"
John Dory Said.

Clay Cleared His Throat.
"Ahem....aCkShuAlLy 🤓☝️"

"-.-"
John Dory And Bruce Glared At Their CPA Licensed Middle Brother.

"Fineee, You're Right"
Clay Threw Away His Notepad.

Viva Zoomed Over To Clay In Her High Energy Speed.
"MR. CLAAAAY! Can't You Set Aside Your CPA Duties For Your Cousin's Wedding??? It's Supposed To Be A Magical Family Moment!"

"I Suppose, Though I Wondee Their Expenses For The Wedding Overall"
Clay Tapped His Chin.

"Wellllll! I For One, Am Actually Looking For To This Wedding. I Think This Is A Great Thing For BroZone! Plus We're Reunited After All, Let's Share It With Others! And Who Better Else Than More Of Our Family Members Eh?"
Branch Said Optimistically.

"That's The Spirit Branch!"
John Dory Gave Branch A Side Hug.

"Yup! And In Fact, I'll Book Us Our Plane Ticket Right Now 😌"
Branch Proudly Said As He Walked Away.

John Dory Quickly Pulled Branch Back For A Second.
"Whoa Whoa Whoa Branch, Plane Ticket?"

"Uh Yeah, How Else Are We Gonna Get To Hitched Hills For The Wedding? It's Pretty Far"
Branch Said.

"It Really Is. Brandy And I Got Married There, And It Was Such A Long Drive Back Home, That We Had Our Honeymoon On The Road...Hehe Freaky Times Man"
Bruce Chuckled To Himself.

"Yeahhhh...Good Times Huh.."
Floyd Patted Bruce's Shoulder, Awkwardly.

"Anywhoozle, I'll Get On Those Plane Tickets!"
Branch Continued To March.

"Nope Nope! That Won't Be Necessary Branch"
John Dory Said.

Branch Paused And Turned To His Brother.
"Annnnd Why Wouldn't It Be..?"

"Cause We're Gonna DRIVE IT!"
John Dory Blurted And Got In A Random Action Pose.

"I-I'm Sorry, WHAT?!?!?'
Branch Questioned.

John Dory Wrapped His Arm Around Branch's Neck.
"We're Gonna Take A Road Trip! It's The Best And Most FUN Way To Get To The Wedding! Just Us Brothers On The Road Of Life...Who Knows What We'll Get Into!"

"B-B-BUT, THAT'LL TAKE FOREVER TO GET THERE!"
Branch Said.

"Exxxxactly The Point! 5x The Fun! Ya Know, Cause There's Five Of Us"
John Dory Bounced His Eyebrows.

"BUT-"
Branch Tried To Speak.

"OOOH! ANOTHER ROAD TRIP! BRANCH, YOU'RE IN FOR A TREAT AGAIN!"
Poppy Held Branch's Arm And Shook It Excitedly.

"BUT-"
Branch Tried To Speak Again.

"A Road Trip With Quality Family Bonding?! This Will Be Great For Us Guys! And Me Too, It'll Get The Whole...Trapped In A Perfume Bottle By Spaghetti Dolls PTSD Off My Mind"
Floyd Mentioned, As He Had A Mini Flashback To His Nightmares.

~Flashback~

On The Night Heading Back Home From Mount Rageous, Everyone Was Sleeping As Well As Floyd Who Slept On The Top Bunk Inside Rhonda.

Floyd Twisted And Turned In His Sleep, Having Nightmares Of Being Killed And Stuck In A Diamond Bottle For 2 Months.

"Diamond...Spaghetti Dolls...Crinkled Mop Head...Getting Pale...Heart Aching...No Talent..."
Floyd Spoke To Himself In His Sleep, Squinting His Eyes.

John Dory Climbed Up On The Top Bunk To Check In His Younger Brother, Whom He Just Saved, To Make Sure He Was Doing Okay.

"Oh Floydddd~"
John Dory Smiled And Whispered In His Ear.

"No...NO...NO!!! STAY....BACK!!! 🎹"
Floyd Suddenly Held Up A Random Piano In The Air.

"•_• Wait, Where'd You Get That Piano-"
John Dory's Eyes Shrunk Down, Wondering And Scared For His Square Life.

🎹 S M A S H 🎹

~End Of Flashback~

John Dory Rubbed His Face, Also Remembering That Flashback Of Floyd Having PTSD In His Sleep.

"Yeah It'll Definitely Be Good For You Floyd!"
John Dory Immediately Said.

"Oooh! We Can Even Stop At The Best Roadside Attractions! I VOLUNTEER TO KEEP TRACK OF THAT IN MY TRAVEL GUIDE BOOK!"
Clay Raised His Hand, Eagerly.

John Dory Chuckled To Himself.
"All Yours Bro!"

"YESSSS! This Will Be Great To Talk To My Sad Book About. To Discuss The Sorrow Ways Of The Road Of Life...Gonna Add That To My Column!"
Clay Gripped Onto His Travel Guide.

"And I'll Be Charge Of Getting You Looking FANTASTAMAZING FOR THE WEDDING! Even Though You Already Do, BUT YOU MUST LOOK FANCY! COME COME CLAY"
Viva Grabbed Clay's Arm And Brought Him To Sit Down.

"WHOA-"
Clay Laughed With Viva's Hyper Energy, And Sat Down Looking At The Travel Guide.

"Now Let's Get This Hair Right.."
Viva Rapidly Tried Numerous Hair Styles For Clay To Have Fancy Hair For The Wedding.

"Ooo! We Can Even See The World's Biggest Rubberband Ball!"
Clay Pointed At The Travel Guide, Not Minding To Viva's Hairstyling.

"Needs More Braids!"
Viva Started To Add Braids To Clay's Hair.

"Oh, We're Gonna See ALLLLL The Places!"
John Dory Insured.

"Bruce! You Gotta Be In Man! There's LOTS Of Grilling Food Stops You'd Love!"
Clay Mentioned.

"Oooh, I Can Try Some Of That Food Truck Deliciousness! And Maybe Take Some Tips For The Catina"
Bruce Thought To Himself.

Suddenly, All Of Bruce's 13 Kids Were Surrounding Him And Wanting Him To Not Go And Stay Home.

"Dad! You're Leaving AGAAAINN??"
Cove Groaned Annoyed.

"Well Yes But-"
Bruce Said.

"YOU ALREADY LEFT A WEEK AGO! DON'T GO AGAINNN.."
Bruce Jr. Begged.

"It's For A Wedding Son! It'll Only Be-"
Bruce Said.

"DADDDDDY! YOU CAN'T GO! THE GOVERNMENT TRACKS WHERE YOU GO! IT'S PROVEN! PLEASE DON'T GO!"
LaBreezey, Bruce's One Daughter, Said And Pleaded.

"Honey I-"
Bruce Kept Trying To Speak.

"DADDY DADDY DADDY DADDY NO NO NO DON'T GO DADDY DADDY STAY STAY STAY WITH US"
The Kids Yelled And Grabbed On Their Dad, Pulling On Him And Grabbing Him.

"KIDS! OW OW STOP! OUCH! RIGHT IN THE CHEST HAIR- WANT ME TO CALL YOUR MOTHER?!??!"
Bruce Blurted Out Loud.

"NO- 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️"
The Kids All Immediately Ran Away At The Mention Of Their Mom.

Bruce Snickered To Himself.
"Heh, Works Everytime. They're Scared To Death Of Her 😌"

"Call Me For What?"
Brandy, Bruce's Wife, Popped Up Above Him.

"AH- Oh! Brandy My Love! Heh Heh.."
Bruce Chuckled Nervously.

"Brucieeeee, What's Going On?"
Brandy Crossed Her Arms.

"So Ummm, Brandy, My Lovely Wife Of 13 And Who I Always Cherish 😅"
Bruce Didn't Know How To Tell His Wife.

"Mmmm?"
Brandy Waited For Bruce To Blurt It Out.

"I Know Last Week I Kinda Left To Go Ya Knowww, Rescue My Brother And Have You Manage Everything But Wouldn't It Be Crazy AGAIN To Go Off To My Cousin's Wedding Who Wante BroZone To Play There?....😁"
Bruce Grinned Innocently.

"So You Want Me To Manage A WHOLE Restaurant AGAIN So That You Can Go Off On A Chaotic And Hilarious Road Trip With Your Brothers To A Wedding To Perform For Your Cousin, Although You Did A Similar Thing A Week Ago?"
Brandy Raised Her Eyebrow.

"Yeah...That.."
Bruce Rubbed His Neck.

"Well It'd Be Crazy If You Didn't! It's Your Cousin's Wedding And She's Hoping For You And Your Brothers To Perform! She Is Family Afterall"
Brandy Smiled And Kissed Bruce's Cheek.

Bruce Smiled Back Thankfully.
"Oh Thanks Babe! I Owe You One!"

"You Sure Do Cause You Can Cover For Me 2 Months From Now When I Take My 3 Week Long Cruise With My Homegirls!"
Brandy Added.

"Fair Deal.."
Bruce Gulped Nervously.

"ANNNND, If You're Gonna Go, You Have To Take Our Newborn 5 Baby With You-"
Brandy Had Something In Her Hand And Placed It Down.

✨️ BITTY BRUCE ️✨️

Bitty Bruce, Was Bruce & Brandy's Newborn Child Who Was Born 5 Days Ago, More So Looks Like A Troll And Is Much Smalled Compared To Their Other Children, And Shared A Similar Look To Bruce With His Hair And His Seashell Necklace, Along With His Egg Shell For A Diaper.

"AWWWWWWWW!!!!"
The Group Awed At The Cuteness Of Bitty Bruce.

"AWWW THERE'S MA BOYYY!"
Bruce Picked Up Bitty Bruce And Held Him In His Arms.

Bitty Bruce Cooed And Giggled At His Father, Wiggling His Fingers Around And Played With His Chest Hair.

"Well?"
Brandy Asked.

"Of Course He Can Come! Hanging With The Boys!"
Bruce Said.

"Hey Little Man!"
Floyd Waved.

"Sup Baby Nephew!"
Clay Waved Also.

"POUND IT BB!"
John Dory Put His Fist Out As Bitty Bruce Put His Little Hand On His Fist.

"Hiiii Bitty Bruce"
Branch Greeted.

"-.-"
Bitty Bruce Glared Over At Branch, Not Too Fond Of Him Yet.

"Still Doesn't Like Me Yet Huh ._."
Branch Said.

"I Think It's Cause I Named Him After Your Stage Name And Thinks You Stole It"
Bruce Shrugged.

"Well I Didn't For The Record Okay?"
Branch Said Towards Bitty Bruce.

"-.-"
Bitty Bruce Gave Branch Another Glare.

"Okaaaay Course Correcting.."
Branch Backed Up.

"Well Brothers, This Is Gonna Be Great! Just Us Out On The Road, Together, Bonding And Having The Most CHAOTIC TIME!"
John Dory Said As He Handed Out Mugs To Each Brother To Drink.

"YESSSSS!!!"
The Brothers Yelled In Excitement Together, Ready For The Trip.

The Brothers Spoke Over Each Other Talking About The Trip And Things They Should Do, As Branch Zoned Out Thinking Of Only The Worse Can Happen On The Road Trip.

"AND BRANCH IS SO IN!"
Poppy Screamed Out.

"WHAT?!?! Poppy? A Wordddd?"
Branch Grabbed Poppy And Pulled Her Over To The Side Gently.

"Yesssss Fun Sucker?"
Poppy Giggled And Teased.

"What Did I Just Get Myself Into?"
Branch Questioned To Her.

"I Think You Just Agreed To Take A Road Trip Odyssey With Your Brothers! You'll Have A Blast!"
Poppy Insured.

"I Know And I Love My Brothers And All But....Yeesh, That's A LOT Of Time With My Brothers 😬"
Branch Said Doubtfully.

"But Don't You Want To Spend Time With Them? You Just Got Them Back In Your Life"
Poppy Said.

Branch Shook His Head.
"You Don't Understand My Brothers Ms. BroZonie. THEY'RE CRAZY! INSANE! Might I Add, CHAOTIC! Now That Was Us As Kids...Imagine Us Now As Adults...10X THE CHAOS!"

"Okay, Don't Go"
Poppy Replied.

"NO NO NO, YOU CAN'T JUST PERSUADE ME TO- Wait...Come Again?"
Branch Turned To Her.

"I'm Just Saying If Youuuu Don't Wanna Spend Time With Your Brothers Cause It's Too Much For You To Handle On A Road Trip Then It's Fine And You Shouldn't Do It"
Poppy Explained.

Branch Chuckled At Her.
"Poppy, I've Survived In A Bunker For 20 Years, Saved The World, Conquered My Bergen Fear, And Literally Just Saved My Brother Last Week From Pop Singing Succubi. I Think I Can Handle A Measly Little Road Trip"

Poppy Held Branch's Hands And Teased Him Flirtingly.
"Prove It~ Prove It~ Prove It~ Proooooveeee It~"

Branch Tried Not To Blush But Couldn't Resist His Girlfriend.
"Heh Heh, Alright Alrightttt ☺️"

"I Know You Adore Me 😌"
Poppy Stroked His Cheek Lovingly.

"All Day Every Day Hun. But It's Just...We Haven't Been Apart In Like YEARS! I'm Going To Miss You.."
Branch Told Her, Looking Down For A Second.

"As Long As You Think About Me, I'll Always Be There The Whole Time"
Poppy Put Her Head Against His.

Branch Felt More Optimistic About This Knowing Poppy Knew It'd Be Great For Him And How She'd Miss Him Constantly.

"That And We Have Snailphones To Always Call"
Poppy Shrugged.

"Right"
Branch Chuckled For A Second.

"Welllll?"
Poppy Bounced Her Eyebrows At Branch With A Grin.

John Dory, Bruce, Clay, And Floyd Glanced Over At Branch For A Gesture, If He Was Ready To Go On Their Brotherly Road Trip.

Branch Was Ready And Was On Board To Join His Brothers Road Trip.
"I Guess It's Settled Then. BroZone Is Hitting The Road!"
