~Around The Village~

Inside A Mystical Pod, Poppy And Branch Entered Inside Past The Strings Of Beads And Mist Of Smoke In The Room.

"Cybil? Cybil You Here?"
Branch Called Out In The Pod.

"Really? You're Gonna Ask Cybil For Help For A Prank? She's A Spiritual Troll! All About Zen And Fortune Telling Stuff! Better Than Creek Ever Did"
Poppy Whispered.

"Don't Mention That Name. Besides, She Once Helped Me With My Bad Luck Before So I'm Sure She's Got Ideas To Help Me Get My Brothers Back"
Branch Whispered Back.

"But This Is About PRANKINGGGG! I Thought You Would've Went To Barb For Help"
Poppy Said.

"Hey, I'm Trying To Prank My Brothers, Not Kill Them"
Branch Replied.

"Eh, Fair Enough"
Poppy Shrugged.

The Couple Searched The Empty Pod, Where Cybil Usually Would Be On Her Table Doing Her Fortune Telling Stuff, But There Was Only A Glowing Crystal Ball On The Table. 🔮

"Cybil? Cybil?! Cybil Where Are You?!?!"
Branch Called Out Louder.

"Guess She's Not In Today"
Poppy Said.

Branch Sighed Into His Hands.
"Of Course, When I Need The Help The Most, No One's Here"

"I'm Sorry Branch But Ya Know- WAIT! LOOK! CYBIL'S CRYSTAL BALL! I COULD TELL THE FUTURE!"
Poppy Zoomed Over To Cybil's Table.

"Poppy, We Didn't Come In Here To Fool Around"
Branch Crossed His Arms.

"Oh C'monnn! These Things Are So Cool! Does It Look Like I'm Cybil??? oOoOoOOoOo spiRiTs fRom tHe fuTureEeEe, i cOmE wiTh a dEsiRe plEaaAaa....bRancH wiLl giVe mE aLl hiS hiDdeN stAsH oF chocOlaTe"
Poppy Waved Her Hands Above The Crystal Ball.

"Seriously? -.-"
Branch Glared At Her.

Poppy Continued.
"aNd iF hE doEsNt....i wiLl bE foRcEd tO mAke cLoUd gUy giVe hiM thE tExAs wEdgiEeEeeEe....oOoOoOOo!"

"Ha Haaaa, Very Funny, Can We Go Now?"
Branch Rolled His Eyes Playfully, Can't Help But Chuckle A Little At Poppy.

Poppy Giggled And Stepped From The Table.
"I Guess We Can! But I Felt So Mystical!"

Branch Headed Towards The Door.
"Gee I'm Sure You Did. What's Next? You're Gonna Start Working At The Haunted Mansion?"

🔮 WHO DARES AWAKEN THE ONE AND ONLY, ALL GREAT, POWERFUL, CYBILLLL! 🔮

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Poppy And Branch Scream Together As They Jumped And Turned Back To The Crystal Ball.

".....H-H-He Does..."
Poppy Pointed At Branch As She Shivered.

".____."
Branch Turned Towards Poppy With An Iconic Serious Look.

Suddenly, Cybil's Face Appeared Inside Of The Crystal Ball As She Was Trying A New Trick For The Trolls.

Cybil Laughed To Herself.
"Hehehehe, Sorry About That Guys! Just Trying Out This New Toy I Got For Hairloween. Apparently Heads Being In Small Glass Sphere's Are Pretty Spooky. At Least That's What My Employees At The Haunted Mansion Gig Told Me"

Poppy Gasped And Shook Branch's Arm.
"😱, YOU WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT THAT! She's Good!"

"Or Maybe She Overheard Us-"
Branch Told Poppy.

"Potato Potatdick"
Poppy Shrugged.

"That Doesn't Even- Ugh, Nevermind"
Branch Gave Up.

"Come In, Sit Down, Enter My Mystical Abode 😌"
Cybil Allowed.

Poppy Ran To Her Seat Excitedly To See Cybil Again, As Branch Sat Next To Her Casually In Front Of The Crystal Ball.

"So What Brings The Inevitable Broppy Back Here? Bad Luck Issues Again?"
Cybil Asked.

"No, Nothing Like That....Thankfully. But I Need Your Help. See, I Don't Know If You Know But My Fellow BroZone Brothers Can Be Huge Jerks Like From Last Nights Concert"
Branch Said.

"Ooo Yes I Heard About That. Better Yet, I Got Myself A T-Shirt"
Cybil Gestured.

Up On Her Wall, The T-Shirt Of Branch Screaming From The Bird Was Hanging On Her Dresser.

"Awwww"
Poppy Awed At The Shirt.

"-.-"
Branch Immediately Gave Poppy A Death Glare.

"😶"
Poppy Immediately Shut Up And Glanced Somewhere Else.

"Annnnnyways, Tomorrow Is Hairloween And I Was Hoping You Could Potentially...I Don't Knowww...Help Me Prank Them Back So I Can Prove To Them I'm Not To Be Messed With?"
Branch Explained.

"What Do I Look Like? A Prankitorium?"
Cybil Replied.

"SEE!"
Poppy Blurted.

"Why Not Go To Queen Barb For Help?"
Cybil Added.

"EXACTLY WHAT I SAID!"
Poppy Blurted Out Again.

"POPPY!"
Branch Yelled Out.

"Hmph"
Poppy Crossed Her Arms And Legs With Sass.

"I Know, But She Would Try To Legitimately Kill My Brothers. I Just Wanted To Give Them A Good Scare That Can Show That I'm An Adult Now And Not A Baby! So, Wouldn't You Have Any Mystical Stuff Or Gadgets That Could Help Me?"
Branch Asked.

"Branch, I'm Sorry To Disappoint You But I'm Just A Spiritual Troll Who Gives Out Fortunes"
Cybil Said.

"B-BUT YOU GOTTA HAVE SOMETHING! PLEASEEE CYBIL I NEED THIS"
Branch Begged.

"The Most I Can Do Is Give You A Future Reading Of When They'll Prank You Next"
Cybil Suggested.

"BUT THAT'LL MAKE ME SEEM LIKE A COWARD! UGGGGHHHH!!!"
Branch Slammed His Face On The Table.

"I Toldddd You 💅"
Poppy Said, Looking At Her Non-Existent Nails.

"POPPY PLEASE-"
Branch Blurted Out Loud.

"CYBIL! I NEED YOUR HELP TO PRANK SOME TROLLS STAT!!!"
Guy Diamond Burst In The Pod At Sudden, Yelling That Out.

"Guy??"
Poppy And Branch Turned Around In Their Seats.

"Okay, Why Is Everyone Coming To Me For Prank Guidance .___."
Cybil Told Herself.

"Oh- Heyyy Guysss. Didn't Realize Cybil Had Customers, Heh Heh, I'll Come Back Later"
Guy Diamond Was About To Walk Out.

"Wait Guy! You're Trying To Prank People On Hairloween Too?"
Poppy Asked.

Guy Diamond Stopped And Turned To Them.
"Truth Is Yes. And The Other Truth Is, Branch, I Share Hairloween PTSD With You Too"

"You Do?"
Branch Raised His Eyebrow.

"But Guy, You Love Hairloween! We Used To Trick Or Troll A Lot!"
Poppy Said.

"That May Be True Poppy, But I'm Just That Good At Hiding My Deep Fear Of Halloween Just For Appearances....Ever Since...That Night"
Guy Diamond Stared Out Into The Distance, Looking Spooked.

Poppy Gasped Loudly.
"😱.....YOU WERE BORN IN 1987 TOO?!?!?! AND YOU'RE 40??!?!?!"

"._____."
Branch Glanced Over At Poppy, Giving Her A "Really" Look.

"What? No, I Could Never Reach 40 With This Body"
Guy Diamond Posed, As His Body Sparkled.

"Mans Got The Nude Goin' On"
Cybil Bounced Her Eyebrows.

"Okaaaay....What Happened To You Guy?"
Branch Questioned.

Guy Diamond Sighed As He Began To Explain.
"Well, It Was My First Hairloween As A Young Glamorous Star. And I Was Just Hanging With My Fellow Glitter Friends. But Little Did I Know, It Would Also Be My Last Hairloween To Enjoy..."

~Flashback~

Almost 20 Years Ago, Little Guy Diamond Was In His Glitterwolf Costume And Held Up His Bucket For Hairloween Candy.

"AAAWOOOOO!!! Who's Ready For Hairloween?!"
Little Guy Shouted.

"WE AREEEEE!"
The Group Of 5 Glitter Trollings Shouted Back.

"How Do You Guys Like My Glitterwolf Outfit?"
Little Guy Posed.

"It's So Glittery And Furry!"
One Of The Glitter Trollings Said.

"Yeah I Know, Made It Myself 😌 And It Means Nothing Can Scare The Glitterwolf!"
Little Guy Insured.

"Oh Really? Not Even That Place?"
Another Glitter Trolling Gestured.

Down In The Spooky Forest, A Abandoned Haunted Cave Was There With Bats Flying Out Of It.

Little Guy Gulped Terrifyingly.
"😳..."

Of Course, Me Being The Mini Great Diamond I Was, And Still Am, Had To Prove Myself Of Being Worthy

Little Guy Walked Towards Inside The Dark Haunted Cave, Slowly And Quietly.

As Little Guy Tip Toed, He Clenched Onto His Bucket Full Of Candy And Shivered His Legs As He Made His Way Through.

But Then Turns Out...

...I Wasn't

Little Guy Looked Around At All The Scary Bugs Inside The Cave, All The Spooky Cave Drawings On The Wall, And The Haunting Thunder Heard Out Loud.

Little Guy Started To Hyperventilate As It Was Too Scary For Him To Comprehend, And Screamed As He Ran For The Exist, Leaving His Candy And Costume Behind.

As He Ran, Little Guy Felt The Cave Closing In On Him And Felt He Wasn't Able To Escape On His Own.

Thankfully, Little Guy Made It Outiside The Cave And Slid Up Against A Rock Outside, Shaking And Whimpering To Himself.

"LOOK! THE GREAT GLITTERWOLF IS SCAREDDDDD!"
One Of The Glitter Trollings Shouted As He Pointed At Little Guy.

"HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂"
The Group Of Glitter Trollings All Pointed And Laughed At Little Guy Being Scared.

Little Guy Glanced At All His Friends Laughing At Him For Being Scared And Terrified, Feeling Like A Coward As He Grew Tears In His Eyes.

~End Of Flashback~

"Since That Night, I Knew I Could Never Let My Dazzling Troll Image Go Through Such Mockery Cowardness Again.."
Guy Diamond Finished His Story.

Poppy Held Her Heart.
"Awe Guyyyy! I'm So Sorry That Happened"

"Sad Story .___."
Cybil Got Bored, Listening To The Story.

"Yeah That's Tragic Guy, But How Exactly Does That Relate To My Hairloween PTSD?"
Branch Questioned.

Guy Diamond Grabbed Branch's Shoulders.
"DON'T YOU SEE BRANCH! I Was Humiliated! You Was Humiliated! Both Traumatized By People Laughing At Us For Just Being Scared! Well This Hairloween I Can't Let It Happen! And Seeing How Your Brothers Pranked You??? I Can't Let Anyone Scare Me Or Put My Ego Against That Again! So I'm Gonna Prank Them Before They Prank Me."

"Huh, I Guess That Makes Sense"
Branch Tapped His Chin.

Tiny Diamond Popped Out Of Guy Diamond's Hair.
"DON'T HELP HIM! Daddy, I Told You It Doesn't Matter About Your Ego! If You're Scared, You're Scared! A Real Man Takes In Fear 💪"

"Sorry Tiny, But You're Only A Month And A Half Old. Fear Is Always Gonna Be Around You"
Guy Diamond Said.

"Harsh Daddy....Imma Let That One Slide -.-"
Tiny Diamond Glared At His Father.

"So Cybil! Anything To Help With Pranks? 😁"
Guy Diamond Asked.

Cybil Sighed.
"Again, Not A Prankitorium"

Branch Stood Up From His Seat.
"You're Wasting Your Time Guy, There's Nothing Here That Would-"

Branch Suddenly Paused, As He Noticed A Strange Book On Cybil's Shelf That Caught His Attention.

"Wait A Second.."
Branch Stared Heavily At The Book On The Shelf.

Branch Made His Way Over To The Shelf, Picking Up The Book And Blowing Dust Off The Cover, Which Read: "Spells Of Spooks"

"Cybil? What's This?"
Branch Questioned.

"Oh That? I Got That When I Was At My Gig From The Haunted Mansion. They Said I Could Have A Souvenir. It's Called The Spells Of Spooks."
Cybil Replied.

"Interestingggg..."
Branch Opened The Book, And Looked Through It To See Different Mythical Spells.

"It's Full Of Different Spells To Cast. Which I Don't Believe It But Good For Spooky Season I Guess"
Cybil Explained.

Branch's Face Lit Up As He Started Thinking.
"Spells To Cast. As In Like....Let's Saaaay...Pranking Wise?"

"Braaanch?"
Poppy Glanced Up At Branch, Having A Feeling Of What He's Thinking.

"I Mean Sure But Who Knows If They Really Work"
Cybil Said.

Branch Smirked With An Idea, As He Wrapped His Arm Around Guy.
"Cybil, Allow Me And Guy To Be Your Spell Tester!"

"What?!"
Guy Diamond And Poppy Say.

"C'mon Guy! Team Up With Me! You Get Your Redemption Arc To Scare Those Who Made Fun Of You! And I Get To Scare The Hairy Nutsacks Outta My Brothers!"
Branch Explained.

"Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa!"
Poppy Said.

"This Would Help Regain My Hairloween Status! I'M IN!"
Guy Diamond Nodded.

"GUYS!"
Poppy Yelled.

"LET'S GOOOOO!!!"
Branch Ran Outside With The Spell Book.

"BRANCH WAIT!"
Poppy Shouted, Going After Branch.

"WOOHOOOOO!!!"
Guy Diamond Was About To Follow, Until Tiny Diamond Pulled Him Back In.

"Whoa Whoa Daddy! You Can't Do This! You Don't Always Have To Make Your Ego Big"
Tiny Diamond Crossed His Arms.

"Tiny, Someday You're Gonna Meet A Woman And If You Wanna Impress Her, You Gotta Show Your Inner Alpha! And Not Be Scared!"
Guy Diamond Told His Son.

"1. I'm No Simp. 2. WHAT?!?!?"
Tiny Diamond Said.

"YOUR DADDY IS FINALLY GONNA BE REDEEMED!"
Guy Diamond Went For The Door Again.

Tiny Diamond Jumped On His Ear And Pulled Him Back Inside.
"NO DADDY! I FORBID IT!"

"TINY FITZGERALD DIAMOND! YOU STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!"
Guy Diamond Demanded.

"FIRST, APOLOGIZE FOR MY MIDDLE NAME!"
Tiny Diamond Demanded Back.

"...I'm Sorry..."
Guy Diamond Apologized.

"Hm...Okay....BUT STILL NOT LETTING YOU DO THIS!"
Tiny Diamond Refused.

"YES YOU WILL!"
Guy Diamond Shook His Head Rapidly.

Tiny Diamond Kept Tugging On His Dad's Ear, As Both Moved Around The Room Crazily Looking Like A Pair Of Dingdongs, Which They Were.

Until, Through The Chaos They Were Causing, Guy Diamond Accidentally Tripped And Crashed Into One Of Cybil's Shelves.

"Thanks Guys, Really Appreciate The Mess 🙄"
Cybil Said Sarcastically.

Guy Diamond Rose Up From The Pile Of Mess, Groaning And Holding His Hand.
"Uggghh....Owww...Tiny, Why Would You- Huh?"

Guy Diamond Then Noticed Something On The Hand He Held, That It Was Cut And Bleeding A Little.

"Awe Great, Now You Got Me A Cut On My Hand! Ow!"
Guy Diamond Said As He Held It.

"Sorry Daddy, But I Had To Stop You! Looks Like This Necklace Of Strange Large Sharp Teeth Cut You Tho"
Tiny Diamond Pulled Out The Necklace.

Cybil Realized What That Was And Her Eyes Widen.
"Uh Oh.."

Guy Diamond Turned To Cybil As He Stood Up.
"Define Uh Oh?"

"Nothing...Heh.."
Cybil Tried To Look Away In The Crystal Ball.

"What Was This Weird Necklace Of Sharp Teeth That Sliced My Hand?"
Guy Diamond Held It Up.

"Let's Just Say...Not Good?"
Cybil Said.

"Define Not Good?"
Guy Diamond Said.

Cybil Sighed And Explained.
"Fine. You Crashed Into My Findings Of Rare Artifacts. And That's My Necklace Of Wolf Teeth I've Once Found Deep In The Bowels Of Misty Meadows"

Tiny Diamond Snickered.
"Pff- Bowels"

"Shh!"
Guy Diamond Shushed His Son.

"And If Cut With One Of Those Teeths, They Say You Can Slowly Turn Into A Bloodythirst Howling Wolf Beast Yourself.."
Cybil Said Seriously And Firmly.

Guy Diamond's Eyes Widen In Shock And Despair.
".....You Should...Probably Mark These Things..."

Tiny Diamond Pulled Out A Box.
"HEYYY LOOK! I FOUND A BOX THAT SAID PLEASE DO NOT OPEN, TEETH OF A WEREWOLF IS IN HERE AND IF CUT YOU CAN BE TURNED INTO A BLOODTHIRSTY WOLF BEAST! HA! Funny Right Daddy?"

"Yeah...Haha...Funny....Um, Is There Any Signs I Should Watch Out For?"
Guy Diamond Asked.

Cybil Thought A Bit.
"Hm, Well I Don't Know For Certain It Can Actually Turn You Into A Bloodthirsty Wolf But If So, I Heard You'll Feel Your Appetite To Change For A Huge Craving Of Meat, Fur Arising Upon Your Skin, And The Insane Urge To Howl At A Full Moon"

"I See..."
Guy Diamond Said Nervously.

"HAHA! HEY LOOK! TONIGHT'S A FULL MOON ON THE CALENDAR! Funny Right?"
Tiny Diamond Pointed At Cybil's Calendar.

"Haha...Funny..."
Guy Diamond Said.

"But Don't Worry About It Too Much. It's Probably Just Some Myth"
Cybil Told Guy Diamond.

Guy Diamond Gulped.
"Oh Yeahhh, Probably Right! Just Some Myth! C'mon Tiny Let's Go Home!"

"Aweee, But I Wanted To Snoop Through Wizard Lady's Stuff"
Tiny Diamond Pouted.

"I Gotta Get This Wound On Some Ice! And Also Um....How Do You Feel About Medium Or Raw Steak For Dinner Tonight?!?!"
Guy Diamond Asked His Son, With His Eye Twitching.

Tiny Diamond Just Stared Up At His Father.
"...............Wha-"

~~~

~Outside~

Running Out Of Cybil's Pod, Branch Was Eager To Use The Spell Book As He Was Running Like A Maniac.

"OOO HOO HOO HOOOO!!!"
Branch Rose Up The Book Of Spells.

"BRANCH!"
Poppy Ran Right Behind Him And Eventually Grabbed Him To Pull Him Back.

"A Book Of Spells?! ARE YOU CRAZY?!"
Poppy Told Him.

Branch Scoffed Sarcastically
"Pfft- You're The One To Talk"

Poppy Groaned In Her Hand.
"Ugh! Branch, This Is Witchery Of All People I'd Least Expect You To Use! I Mean Who Knows What Kind Of Spells Are In That Book! And You Wanna Use It On Your Brothers Cause Of Simple Prank?"

"Simple Prank? Oh There's Nothing Simple About Traumatizing Someone! And I Wouldn't Expect You To Understand. You Did Help Them Afterall"
Branch Rolled His Eyes.

"I SAID I WAS SORRY! JOHN DORY MANIPULATED ME!"
Poppy Said.

Branch Rolled His Eyes.
"Mm 😒, Sounds Like Him Alright"

Poppy Sighed.
"How Did We Get To This Point In Our Lives When I'm The One Stopping You From Doing Something Crazy"

"It's Called Rubbing Off. In Which Of Years Of Dealing With You....You Did Rub Off On Me. And I Don't Know If It's Good Or Bad 🤔"
Branch Tapped His Chin.

"Just...Please Reconsider"
Poppy Held His Hand.

"Poppy, My Brothers Traumatized Me Enough My Whole Life. And Now They're Doing It Again For Funsies? I Don't Think So! It's Time To Show Them Baby Branch Is Now....ALPHA BRANCH!!! ONWARD TO SPELLING!"
Branch Zoomed Away From Poppy.

"Alpha Branch- Yeah Right 🙄. AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA SEE ME AND VIVA'S COSTUME TODAY!!!"
Poppy Yelled Out In The Distance.

Branch Yelled Back As He Ran.
"SORRY POPIFER, I'VE GOT PRANKING MATTERS TO- OOF!"

Branch Accidentally Ran And Crashed Into His Brother Floyd, Who Was Still In His Black Cat Outfit.

Branch Sat Up And Rubbed His Head.
"Owwww....Floyd?"

Floyd Sat Up As Well.
"Oh Hey Lil Bro! I Was Just Looking For You"

"Really? I MEAN UHHH, REALLYYYY? FOR WHAT PARTICULAR REASONNNN? HEH HEH"
Branch Said As He Quickly Hid The Spell Book In His Hair.

"Well First And Foremost, I Am Truly Heartbreakingly Sorry For The Prank Pulled On You From Last Night"
Floyd Apologized.

"Oh...Yeah..."
Branch's Voice Of Tone Went Down.

"You Just Know How Our Brothers Can Be. Always Trying To Treat You As The Little Baby Still"
Floyd Said.

"And Still Traumatizing Me Since The Night Of 87"
Branch Rolled His Eyes.

"1987?"
Floyd Raised His Eyebrow.

"Nothing! But The Prank Was Awful! Horrific! I Felt Like I Was Gonna Pee My Shorts! And Puke! And And.."
Branch Tried To Think Of Something.

"Shoot Diarrhea Out Your Butt All At Once?"
Floyd Finished Off For Branch.

"HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS STUFF?!?"
Branch Pulled His Ears.

"Well, It Wasn't Right For Them To Use Your Own Fear On You. And I'm Sorry I Ever Let Them Get The Best Of Me For Making Me Participate. It Was Really Insensitive.."
Floyd Frowned, With His Ears And Cat Ears Going Down.

"Well, I Appreciate You For Apologizing. At Least You Did"
Branch Smiled A Lil.

"I Know How Much Hairloween Scares You Since That One Hairloween When You Were Born, So I Thought I'd Give You This"
Floyd Handed Branch A Folded Paper With Something In It.

"What's This?"
Branch Asked As He Held It Up.

"For Whenever You Feel Scared Or Alone Or Terrified, Just Know Regardless Of How Our Brothers Are, We'll Still Always Be Here For You"
Floyd Gave Branch A Heartwarming Smile.

Branch Gave A Little Smile Back As He Looked On The Front Of The Paper As It Read: "For My Favorite Baby Brother, Love Floyd ♡ "

"Thanks Floyd"
Branch Thanked His Big Brother.

Floyd Stood And Ruffled Branch's Hair.
"Everything's Gonna Be Alright"

As Floyd Walked Off, Branch Felt Comfort From His Closest Brother, And Started To Have Second Thoughts On Doing A Prank On His Brothers.

Branch Was About To Open Up The Folded Paper, But Then Thought It Would Be Best To Open It Whenever He Did Feel Scared Or Afraid.

~~~

~Late At Night~

As The Late Night Shining Moon Rised Up, Branch Still Went On With His Planned Prank, And Went Out To The Dark Forest With Guy To Try Out The Spell Book.

Sitting In The Middle Of The Forest, Branch And Guy Were Setting Up To Try The Spell Book, As Branch Set Up A Candle And Used A Can Of Cheese Wizz To Circle The Candle.🕯

Guy Diamond Stared Confused At That.
"Uhhh, Tell Me Again Why Use A Can Of Spray Cheese For The Candle.

"Cause Cheese Prevents Dangerous Catastrophic Events! Carol Taught Me That 😌"
Branch Said Proudly.

Branch Finished Spraying The Cheese Around The Candle And Sat Across From Guy Diamond, Picking Up The Spell Book.

"Okay, Let's See Which Spell We Should Cast First!"
Branch Opened The Spell Book, Looking Through It.

Guy Diamond Was Shivering And Shaking To Himself, As He Was Nervous Of Being Turned Into A Wolf, As Cybil Described.

As The Full Moon Started To Rise Up Even More, Guy Diamond Got More Nervous And Rubbed On The Cut On His Hand.

"Y-You Think We Could Speed This Up Branch??
Guy Diamond Asked Anxiously.

"Shhh! Casting Spells Take A Great Amount Of Thought"
Branch Looked Back Into The Book.

"O-Okay But After This Is Done, Wanna Get Something To Eat Like MEAT?!?!?!?!?!?"
Guy Diamond Asked, Licking His Lips.

"Like...Steak?"
Branch Asked.

"YES! STEAK! PLEASEEE, I NEED THE MEAT 🥩 🤪"
Guy Diamond Gave A Crazy Looking Face.

"You Alright Guy?"
Branch Asked.

"Pfft What Me? OF COURSE I'M FINE! NOT LIKE I'M SCARED OF BECOMING A FOWL BEAST THAT COULD HOWL AT THE MOON COVERED IN FUR!!??!?!!?!? NO!!! NOT ME!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHSHSHSHWHQJQJAHSJAKQNSHSJWJWHSHEYCOCK 🤪"
Guy Diamond Laughed Crazily, With His Eye Twitching.

Branch Blinked Awkwardly.
".....Okay- Anyways...OOH! I Found One!"

"You Found A Spell??"
Guy Diamond Asked.

"I Think So. It's Called....Family Away Spell....oOoOoOOOoo"
Branch Waved His Hands Mystically, As He Chuckled To Himself.

"Family Away Spell?"
Guy Raised His Eyebrow.

"I'm Guessing It Sends Them Away Like OOOH! Maybe To A Desert! And They'll Be AWAAAY! HA THAT'S A GREAT PRANK!"
Branch Said Excitedly.

"If You Say, LETS JUST SPEED THIS UP!"
Guy Diamond Quickly Said, Nervously Rubbing His Hands.

"Okay Okay! ahEm"
Branch Cleared His Throat As He Read The Spell Out Loud"

" 𝕱𝖆𝖒𝖎𝖑𝖞, 𝖂𝖍𝖔 𝕴 𝕷𝖔𝖛𝖊 𝕰𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝕾𝖔 𝕸𝖆𝖞

As Branch Read And Finished The Poem, A Mist Of Green Smoke Formed Around The Two Trolls For A Second And The Mist Swooped Up Into The Air.

Branch Blinked.
"What- THAT'S IT?!? I READ THIS STUPID SPELL JUST FOR A BUNCH OF GREEN GAS?!?!?! UGGGHHH!!!"

"Sorry Branch, Maybe We Try A Different Spell But RIGHT NOW I'M HUNGRY AND NEED TO GO!!!"
Guy Diamond Shouted At Branch.

Branch Rolled His Eyes And Stood Up.
"Ugh Fine. We'll Try Again Tomorrow Night And Think Of Something Else"

Branch Grabbed The Book And The Candle As He Blew It Out, And Walked Away Disappointed.

Guy Diamond Followed Right Behind Branch, But As He Walked, He Looked On His Arm As He Notived Couple Strands Of Fur Coming Upon His Glitter Skin.

~~~

~Meanwhile~

Over At The Trolls Pumpkin Patch, The BroZone Brothers Were Carving Late Night Pumpkins Together As Floyd Spoke To Them About The Prank.

"All I'm Saying It Was Wrong To Use Branch's Fear Against Him For Some Silly Prank!"
Floyd Told Them.

"Oh C'mon Lil Bro, Branch Loves Those Pranks When He Was Younger! It Was Totally Bro-some!"
John Dory Said.

"It Was Insensitive John Dory -.-"
Floyd Glared At His Older Brother.

"Listen, Branch Is An Adult Now, I'm Sure He'll Cope With This. We Were Just Having Fun"
Spruce Shrugged.

"Traumatizing Your Little Brother Is NOT FUN!"
Floyd Yelled At Them.

Clay Finished Carving His Pumpkin.
"DONE! Check It Out Bros!"

Clay Carved His Pumpkin Into The Face Of A Ken Doll, With A Lightskin Stare Added To The Face.

"....."
The Brothers All Stared At The Pumpkin And Looked Up At Clay.

"What?"
Clay Said.

"You're Just Clay .___."
John Dory Said.

Floyd Sighed And Stood Up.
"I'm Just Saying, Don't Be Surprised When Branch Gets Enough Of These Pranks And Snaps"

Floyd Paused At Suddenly, As He Felt Himself Gasping For Air, And Held His Throat Until His Eyes Rolled In The Back Of His Head, Then Dropped To The Ground.

"FLOYD????"
John Dory, Spruce And Clay Immediately Went To Check On Their Younger Brother.

Spruce Held Up Floyd's Arm And Felt It.
"No Pulse...And He's Cold"

"Is He-...?"
John Dory Didn't Want To Think Of The Worse.

"UHHHH....GUYS???"
Clay Felt Himself Feeling Odd Too And He Held His Heart.

Clay's Heart Stopped As His Eyes Rolled Behind His Head And Dropped To The Ground.

"CLAY???"
John Dory Said.

"J-JOHN..."
Spruce Said His Last Words As He Also Felt No Breathing And Eyes Rolled In The Back Of His Head, Causing Him To Drop.

"No....N-No..."
John Dory Couldn't Cope With The Process Of His Younger Brothers Being Dead.

Until That's When John Dory Felt Himself Not Breathing, And Held His Heart When He Dropped Down To The Ground.

The BroZone Brothers Laid On The Ground With Their Cold Dead Bodies, Until The Green Mist Arrives To The Bros And Swirled Around The Lifeless Bodies.

The Green Mist Caused The Brothers To Glow A Little, As Green, Purple, Yellow, And Pink Spirits Shot Out Of Them And Into The Sky.

The Brothers Spirits Flew In The Sky, To Reveal That Branch's Spell Book Causes His Brothers To Turn Into 4 Ghoulish Ghosts! 👻

"MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! LOOK AT US! OH WOULD YOU LOOK AT US!"
Ghoul John Dory Laughed Maniacally.

"I Feel So Alive Yet So Ghoulish! AND FREE!"
Ghoul Spruce Said.

"I HAVE SO MUCH ENERGY IN ME BROS! LIKE I WANNA CAUSE AS MUCH MAYHEM AS POSSIBLE! HAHAHA! OHHH THE NON-EXISTENT ADRENALINE!"
Ghoul Clay Snickered Mischievously To Himself, Swirling In The Air.

Ghoul Floyd Tried To Feel Himself And Realized What Happened To Them.
"Oh No....Guys, I Don't Think This Is Something We Should Be Celebrating"

"HUSH LITTLE BAFOON! THIS IS A MIRACLE! NOW WE CAN BE FREE AS WE WANT! Haunt As We Want! And Wouldn't Ya Know, We're In A Village That Needs Some Haunting~"
Ghoul John Dory Glared Above At Pop Village.

"YEAHHHHH!!!!!!"
Ghoul Spruce And Clay Shouted With Excitement.

"Please No..."
Ghoul Floyd Begged.

Ghoul John Dory Grinned Evily.
"We Were Once BroZone, And Now We Have Become..."
