~In The Morning~

Down In The Bunker On The Next Day, As It Was Very Early In The Morning, Coming Out Of Their Rooms Were John Dory, Clay, And Floyd, Since They Now Moved In The Bunker, Meanwhile Bruce Stayed On Vacay Island With His Family.

As Each Of The Three Brothers Woke Up, They All Put On Their Winter Clothes And Stuff They Would Need For The Day, As They Were Beginning To Start Their Holiday Plans.

John Dory Grabbed His Gear And Stuffed It In His Backpack.
"Alright Got My Map Of The Woods, My First Aid Winter Kit, My Grappling Hook, And My Night Light Of Dwayne The Troll-Johnson!"

Clay Wrapped His Scarf Around His Neck, As He Overheard His Brother.
"Dwayne The Troll-Johnson Night Light? What's The Point Of Bringing That?"

"Excuuuuuuse Me Clay, But It Happens To Be Very Dark On Winter Nights Out In The Woods! Plus, It's Dwayne The Troll-Johnson...Who Wouldn't Want That As A MANLY Night Light? He's The G.O.A.T! As The Young Folks Say 😌"
John Dory Said As He Straightened Up His Coat.

"Cringe- And Plus, That Doesn't Sound At ALL Manly Of You, If You Ask Me"
Clay Shrugged To Himself.

"IT IS TOO MANLY! ☹️"
John Dory Frowned And Whined Like A Little Kid.

Floyd Rushed Over To The Brothers And Handed John Dory Something.
"John! I Got Your Scooby Doo Blankie!"

"YAAAY! GIMMIE!"
John Dory Squealed And Bounced Like A Little Kid Again As He Snatched The Blanket.

Clay Sighed And Shook His Head, Mumbling Under His Breath.
"Sorry Ass Brother.."

"I Don't Wanna Hear From You Mr. Host Of Having A Depressing Reading Lecture Pfft"
John Dory Scoffed To Himself.

"HEY! Never Disrespect A Book Club Host, Besides It's Not For Rugged Trolls Like You Johnny Boy -.- It's For Sophisticated pRoFESsiOnAl Sad Readers Such As Myself!"
Clay Said As He Straightened His Sweater Romper In His Sophisticated Way.

"And Yet They Made You The Host?"
John Dory Raised His Eyebrow As He Snickered.

"AHA AHA AHAAAAA, It's More Of A MANLY Thing You'll Ever Do! If You Were Truly Manly, YOU WOULDN'T NEED THIS-"
Clay Tried To Snatch John Dory's Scooby Doo Blanket.

"GIMMIE MY SCOOBY- 👺🥺"
John Dory Tried To Tug And Pull His Blanket Back From Clay.

"....."
Clay Blankly Blinked At His Brother, Who Was Indeed Not Very Manly At The Moment.

"...."
John Dory Gripped Onto His Scooby Doo Blanket As He Side Eyed Floyd For Help.

"Clay, You Better Give Him His Scooby 🤨"
Floyd Said In A Sassy Firm Tone.

Clay Immediately Let Go Of The Blanket.
"Whatever-"

"OI-"
John Dory Flung And Fell Back From Clay Letting Go Of His Grip On The Blanket.

"What About You Floyd?"
Clay Questioned His Brother.

"Well Like I Said Yesterday, Me And Boom Are Having Caroling Dates All Winter! Today's Day One And It'll Be Just The Two Of Us Singing Christmas Cheer ☺️"
Floyd Blushed As He Twirled Some Of His Hair.

"Awwww"
Clay Said In Awe As He Patted Floyd's Shoulder.

"Nauseating-"
John Dory Said As He Got Up Off The Ground, Dusting Himself Off.

Floyd Rubbed His Hands, Beginning To Feel Guilty Again.
"You Think We Should Wake Up Branch And Apologize For Missing Out On The Bro-liday This Year? He Seemed Pretty Disappointed.."

John Dory Side-Hugged Floyd.
"He'll Be Fine Flo-Floooo, Besides! He's Got Poppy And They'll Be Smooching So Much Under The Mistletoe, They Won't Remember The Bro-liday!"

"Branch Just Has To Understand That Things Changed Over The Years And Won't Be The Same"
Clay Shrugged To Himself.

"Yeah...I Guess.."
Floyd Said As He Rubbed His Arm, Thinking About His Brother's Feelings.

John Dory Hopped On The Elevator Platform And Grabbed The Lever.
"ONWARD TO SNOW CAMPING!"

"AND SAD BOOK CLUB LECTURESSS!"
Clay Said As He Jumped On The Platform.

"AND MAKING ME AND BOOM'S HEART GO BOOM-BOOM! 😄"
Floyd Also Said As He Got On The Elevator Platform.

".___________."
John Dory And Clay Stared At Floyd In Awkward Silence Over His Fruity-Side.

".....What? I Said It And I'm Proud Of It 😌"
Floyd Said Proudly With Pride.

Clay Shook His Head With A Chuckle.
"You're So Zesty Bro.."

As John Dory Pulled On The Elevator Lever, The Platform Brought The Brothers Up To The Surface, For Them To Start The Day And Their Holiday Plans.

With The Brothers Gone, Poppy And Mr. Dinkles Peaked Out Of Two Vases, As They Were Hiding And Making Sure The Coast Was Clear To Come Out.

Poppy Hopped Out Of The Vase And Pulled Mr. Dinkles Out.
"I Think They're Gone Mr. Dinkles! Oo! I Think That Tight Vase Broke My Spine.."

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Wished Anything Would Break Biggie's Spine Instead.

"Now Branch Said For Us To Meet Him Early In The Morning Today...Where Do You Think He Is?"
Poppy Tapped Her Chin.

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Hoped He'd Be Anywhere But Here, Such Dying Again To Meet The Worm-Lords.

"IN HERE MY HOLIDAY SWEET!"
A Voice Familiar To Poppy Shouted Out From A Room, Deep Into The Bunker.

After Hearing The Voice, Poppy Made Her Way Over To The Other Room In The Bunker, Where Branch Was And Had Displayed His HUGE Spread Of His Vision Board Of Very Orchestrated Plans.

Poppy's Glanced Around At The Vision Board In Front Of Her.
"WHOAAAAA BRANCHIFER! Nice Vision Board...And Definitely Not At All Insane Looking.."

Branch Chuckled To Himself As He Grabbed His Pointing Stick.
"Why Thank You Popifur! You're Looking Not Insane At All This Morning Either!"

"Yeah That's A Compliment .___."
Poppy Said, Using Some Of Her Boyfriend's Sarcasm.

"You're Probably Wondering Why I Brought You Here This Early!"
Branch Said To Poppy And Mr. Dinkles.

Poppy Raised Her Eyebrow.
"Um Nooooo? I Know Why I'm Here, We Literally Discussed This Last-"

Branch Put Hid Pointing Stick On Poppy's Mouth.
"BAH BAH BAH BAH! The Leader Is Speaking. Good Girl!"

"......Chapter -.-"
Poppy Finished Her Statement Anyways, Breaking The Fourth Way.

Branch Got On One Of His Elevators And Pulled Himself Up To His Vision Board.
"Now! Since Yesterday, We Learned That My Selfish Brothers Are Ditching Out On Our Family's Annual Bro-liday, Which Sent Me On A Sad Downward Spiral...Boohoooo.."

"Awwwee Branchieeeee...
Poppy Said In Awe, Holding Her Hands Together.

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Wanted To Stab Their Hearts Out With Branch's Pointy Stick, To Near Hear Anymore Of This Nonsense.

"SO! I Spent All Last Night Crafting A Brilliant Mission And This BOOTIFUL Vision Board, In Mind To Bring My Brothers Away From Their Plans And Back Together To Celebrate The Bro-liday! I Give You....MISSION: BROZONE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS!"
Branch Used His Pointing Stick To Gesture At His Magnificent Vision Board.

"WOOOOOO!!! YOU GO CUTIEEE! YEAH! OOH YEAHHH! 👏👏"
Poppy Clapped And Cheered As She Hyped Up Her Boyfriend.

"Thank You, Thank You Very Much 😌"
Branch Bowed In A Proud Manner.

"Isn't He Just So Cute When He's Crafty Mr. Dinkles?!"
Poppy Nudged Mr. Dinkles Next To Her.

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Rather Craft A Plan To Drown Biggie In A Pool Of Orange Juice Acid.

"And Now, Just How Will Be Bring Mission: BroZone Home For The Holidays Into Action?"
Branch Asked The Two.

"Hmmm 🤔...OOH! OH! OH! OH! 🙋‍♀️"
Poppy Eagerly Raised Her Hand, Wanting To Be Picked On.

"Hm, Yes Uhhh....Poppy! Yes!"
Branch Picked On Her Girlfriend.

"😄......I Don't Know 😐"
Poppy Lowered Her Hand, Feeling A Bit Of Stupidity.

"Don't Worry, That's Why You Have Me As A Leader!"
Branch Patted His Chest.

"Oooo~ I Love When You Refer Yourself As A Manly Take-Charge Leaderrrr~ Ooooo Heh Heh~ Rawr Rawrrrr~"
Poppy Giggled As She Purred At Her Boyfriend, Flirtingly.

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Wished A Roaring Tiger Instead Would Eat Him To Not Listen To Poppy's Annoying And Cringe Flirting.

"I'll Tell You What We're Gonna Do, We're Gonna Use Their Old Bro-liday Traditions Against Them! HA HA!"
Branch Mischievous Laughed For A Moment.

"Wait- Use Their Traditions Against Them? Won't That Just Make Your Brothers Feel Worse?"
Poppy Wondered And Asked.

Branch Scoffed To Himself.
"Pfffttt, Noooo, Don't You See Poppy?"

"No- That's-...That's Why I Literally Asked You Why .___."
Poppy Replied To Her Boyfriend.

"Oh Right- WELL! It's More In The Sense Offff....Reminding Them What They're Missing Out On For The Bro-liday! We Use Their Traditions Against Them And They'll Be Reminded Of The Happy Memories We Shared Back In The Day! IT'S A FOOL PROOF PLAN!"
Branch Grabbed Poppy's Shoulders.

".....Or Maybe Just The Fool Part-"
Poppy Blurted Out.

"Hilarious -.-, Now The First Operation We're Gonna Put Into Action Is With My Dear Brother Floyd! Today, He's Starting One Of His Many Caroling Dates With Boom, So We Just Need To Figure Out A Way For It Not To Happen.."
Branch Tapped His Chin.

Poppy Tried To Think And Tapped Her Head Rapidly.
"Hmmm...OOH! I KNOW!"

"YES?!"
Branch Turned To His Girlfriend, Eager To Hear Her Idea.

"We Can Just....LEAVE THEM ALONE! 😄"
Poppy Told To Branch With A Smile.

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

"Well I'm Sorry! Ruining Floyd's Date Plans Would Just Break Both Of Them!"
Poppy Said, Rubbing Her Neck.

Branch Sighed Into His Hands.
"Poppy, We're Trying To Get Rid Of Their Plans, Not-....."

D I N G ! 💡

"POPPY! THAT'S IT!"
Branch Grabbed Poppy's Face And Pulled Her Close.

"What's It?"
Poppy Said With Her Cheeks Squished Together.

"Break! All We Gotta Do Is Break The Date And Then They Would Rather Do The Bro-liday Than Caroling Together!"
Branch Said To Her.

"And How Do You Suppose We Break Up That Date Einstein Timberlake?"
Poppy Crossed Her Arms.

Branch Tapped His Chin Again.
"Hmmm....Boom Wouldn't Want To Carol With Floyd If He Knew Floyd Was Caroling With OTHER People Than Just Him.."

"Yeahhhhh Soooooo?"
Poppy Tilted Her Head At Her Boyfriend.

Branch Began To Smirk With An Idea In Mind.
"Mr. Dinkles! Print Out A Bunch Of Paper!"

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Stretched Out His Mouth Wide, As He Somehow Printed Out Dozens Of Colored Paper.

"And Poppy......Get Me Scrapbook Supplies 😏"
Branch Bounced His Eyebrows And Smirked At His Girlfriend.

Poppy Gasped And Immediately Squealed.
"😱, EEEEEEEE!!!!! I'VE WAITED SO LONG FOR YOU SO WILLINGLY WANT SCRAPBOOK SUPPLIES! I'M ON IT- NYYYYYOOOOOOOMMMM 🏃‍♀️💨"

As Poppy Ran Out Of The Bunker To Fetch Her Scrapbook Supplies, Branch Looked Back Up At His Vision Board Having Slight Second Thoughts Of This, But As He Glanced At Each Of His Brothers Faces On The Wall, The More He Wanted Them Home For Their "Bro-liday".

Branch Nodded At The Vision Board As He Spoke To Himself.
"Bro-liday...Here We Come"

~Outside~

Around Pop Village, Floyd, And Kismet Bandmate, Boom, Went All Over The Village To Do Some Caroling To Spread Christmas Cheer In Song Form, As The Happy New Couple They Are.

Knocking On Some Of The Pods, Floyd And Boom Held Hands And Sang Together In Beautiful Soft Harmony, Making Other Trolls Smile As They Listened To Their Sweet Holiday Symphony.

Floyd And Boom Stood Together, As They Sang To A Family By Their Doorstep.
"Chriiiiistmas, Chriiiistmas time is near! Time for toys and time for cheer! We've been good and we can't laaasst! Hurry Christmas, Hurry Fast! Like a plane, it loops the loop~"

"Meeee I want, a hulaaa hoooop~
or is it fruit loops? 🤔"
Boom Rethought To Himself.

Floyd Rolled His Eyes Playfully And Grabbed Boom's Hand To Continue Singing.
"Weeee can hardly stand the wait! Please Christmas don't be laaateee~"

"YAAAAAY! 👏👏"
The Family Of Trolls Cheered For The Caroling With Big Grins On Their Faces.

Over In A Corner Nearby, Hiding Inside Two Snowmen, Poppy And Branch Were Spying In Floyd And Boom To Make Sure Their Plan Went Into Action.

Poppy Poked Her Eyes Out Of Her Snowman's Head.
"Branch! There They Are!"

Branch Poked His Eyes Out Of His Snowman's Head.
"Perfect! Now We Wait As Mr. Dinkles Hands Out My Amazingly Scrapbook Flyers"

"Eh, Rookie"
Poppy Said As She Rolled Her Eyes.

"HEY! You Know Scrapbooking Isn't My Thing! I Tried My Best!"
Branch Said To His Girlfriend.

"Branch- You Played With The Glue Most Of The Time -.-"
Poppy Glared Over At Her Immature Boyfriend.

"WELL I'M SORRY! But Glue Is Fun ☹️"
Branch Frowned To Himself And Pouted.

"Fun Until You Quote On Quote, "Accidentally" Glue Your Fingers Together While Doing It"
Poppy Giggled A Little.

"Ahahahahaaaaa Funny Girl Funny Girl 🙄"
Branch Sarcastically Laughed At Poppy And Rolled His Eyes.

"Shh Branch! Here They Come!"
Poppy Gestured At Floyd And Boom Coming Over To The Area.

Branch Took Out His Walkie Talkie.
"Alright Mr. Dinkles, Did You Hand Out All Of The Flyers?"

Mr. Dinkles Over The Walkie Talkie: "Mew 🖕"

"Great! Here We Go~"
Branch Gained A Mischievously Devious Grin On His Snowman Disguse.

Floyd Held Boom's Hands As He Brought Him Over.
"Wasn't That Fantastic Boom?! I Really Felt The Holiday Spirit With That One! Didn't You?!"

"YEAH! ROCK ON FLOYD! 😄"
Boom Said With A Clueless Grin, As He Was Just Happy To Be There.

"Alright Duely Noted! Wanna Head To Another Pod?"
Floyd Asked Towards Boom.

"THAT SOUNDS RAD! 😁"
Boom Kept His Smile.

"Awww, Not A Single Thought Behind That Beautiful Rainbow Hair Head Of Yours"
Floyd Put His Hand On Boom's Cheek.

"Well I Do Have One Thought! Think About What If The Sun And The Moon...Were In The Same Place At The Same Time....CAUSE THEY'RE THE SAME PERSON! 😦"
Boom Said Out Loud.

"They Sure Are Cutie....They Sure Are"
Floyd Patted Boom's Head.

Aspen Came Over To The Couple, With A Flyer In His Hand.
"Hey Floyd!"

"Oh Hey Aspen! What's Up?"
Floyd Said And Greeted.

"Oh Don't Act Like You Don't Know Buddy 👀"
Aspen Bounced His Eyebrows And Nudged Floyd.

"Uhhh....I Don't Know?"
Floyd Raised His Eyebrow Confusingly.

"C'monnnn Me And You Were Gonna Do Caroling Today!"
Aspen Said With A Grin.

"WHAT?!?! YOU ARE?!"
Boom Said, With A Gasp.

"I AM?!?"
Floyd Replied Back.

"Duuuhhh! You Did Advertise It After All!"
Aspen Held Up The Flyer.

"Lemme See That!"
Floyd Grabbed The Flyer And Began To Glance To Read It.

📃 "Wanna Do Some Caroling With The One And Only Floyd From BroZone?! Then Come Join Me EVERYDAY For Some Caroling! It'll Be Just YOU And ME And Absolutely No One Else! ✨️
XOXO, Floyd,
The Single Sensitive One ♡ 📃

Floyd's Pupils Shrunk Down As He Couldn't Believe What The Flyer Read.
"😳 Oh Dear.."

Boom Snatched The Flyer And Read It Also.
"LEMME READ! OH MY GOSH....FLOYD! YOU'RE ADVERTISING CAROLING WITH OTHER TROLLS??!?!"

"NONONONO I WOULD NEVER!"
Floyd Rapidly Shook His Head.

"YOU PROMISED IT'D BE JUST YOU AND ME.."
Boom Said Back, Feeling Hurt.

"TRUST ME BOOMY, IT IS! Just Me And You, No One Else"
Floyd Said As He Rubbed Boom's Back.

Harper Came By, Holding Up A Flyer.
"Hey Floyd! I'm Here To Do Some Caroling!"

" I ' M
A
D O C T O R . . . .
And Floyd Is Caroling With Me As Well"
Doctor Moonbloom Said As She Held Up Her Flyer.

Skyscraper Troll Stood High Above Everyone And Held Out 3 Flyers.
"NO/NO/NO! HE'S CAROLING WITH ME!"

"🖕"
Fuzzbert Made His Weird Squirming Noises As He Stuck His Finger Out At Everyone, Indicating He's Caroling With Floyd.

"U-U-U-UH....Everyone Here Relax! None Of This Is True! This Flyer Is False! I Didn't Advertise This! Calm Down!"
Floyd Told The Trolls Coming Up To Him.

Boom Got Sad Cutesey Eyed And Sniffed To Himself, Almost Tearing Up.
"C-C-Calm Down? How Can I Calm Down....When You'd Rather Carol With Trolls Other Than Me 🥺"

"Boom Please Don't Cry! None Of This Is Real! I Didn't Advertise This! You Gotta Trust Me! It Doesn't Mean Anything!"
Floyd Tried To Comfort Boom, Holding His Hand.

Branch Burst Out Of His Snowman And Walked Over To The Two.
"Tsk Tsk Tsk...Floyd, My Own Sensitive Brother.."

Floyd Turned Around To See His Brother.
"Branch?"

"Ahem, AND POPPY-"
Branch Cleared His Throat Out Loud.

Poppy Burst Out Of Her Snowman And Came Over.
"I'M HERE!"

"Poppy? What Are You Two Doing Here?"
Floyd Asked And Wondered.

"Oh Us? We Were Just Taking A Stroll And Found This Odd Flyer Of You Advertising To Go Caroling With Trolls Other Than Boom"
Branch Held Up The Flyer And Nudged Poppy.

"Oh Yeah! Um, It Sounded Very Alarming To Us That YOU Of All Trolls Would Just Walk Out On Someone Just To Carol With Others!"
Poppy Said In A Dramatic Tone.

"Sounds Pretty Selfish Amrite?"
Branch Patted Floyd's Back.

"B-B-But I Didn't Make This Flyer! I Only Wanted To Carol With Boom! Honest!"
Floyd Put His Hand On His Heart.

"Mmmm I Don't Know Brooooo....Amazingly Crafted Scrapbooked Flyers Don't Lie-"
Branch Gestured At The Flyer.

"Amazingly Crafted?"
Poppy Raised Her Eyebrow Over At Her Boyfriend.

"Shut To The Up Babe -.-"
Branch Whispered At Poppy.

"This Is Ridiculous! I Would Never Wanna Break Boom's Heart! Do You Two Know Who Might've Made These Flyers???"
Floyd Asked Towards Poppy And Branch.

"🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️"
Poppy And Branch Shrugged Together, Playing Dumb As They Looked Away.

"I Just Don't Understand!"
Floyd Said As He Gripped The Flyer.

Boom Crossed His Arms.
"I Understand Plenty Floyd! You Never Wanted It To Be Just You And Me Caroling...You Wanted To Cheat! GAAASSSPPP! YOU'RE CHEATING ON ME THROUGH CAROLING! OH MY GOD, I NEVER FELT SO STUPID!"

"Really? 🤨 🤨"
Poppy And Branch Say Together, Questioning Boom's Stupidity.

"THIS ISN'T SEASON'S GREETINGS....IT'S SEASON CHEATINGS! 🫵"
Boom Pointed At Floyd.

Floyd Shook His Head At Boom.
"NONONO BOOM PLEASE I DIDN'T-"

"YES YOU DID! AND THIS FLYER....Made That Perfectly Clear You Don't Want Our Caroling Dates 🥺....WAAAAAHHHH!! 😭 😖 I THOUGHT WHAT WE HAD WAS SPECIAAAAALLL!!"
Boom Began To Sob Uncontrollably And Ran Off, Brokenhearted.

"Yeeessshh, Tough Love Huh Bro"
Branch Said As He Patted Floyd's Shoulder.

"BOOM WAIT! COME BACK! WE DO! WE'RE TWO FRUITS IN A PAIR!!"
Floyd Shouted As He Ran To Follow After The Crying Boom.

Poppy Fiddled With Her Fingers.
"Awe, Boom Seemed Really Upset 👉👈 Are You Sure That Was The Right Move Branch?"

Branch Gave A Little Chuckle.
"Boom? Upset? Oh Pleaseee He'll Be Fineeee, We'll Send Him A Frozen Yogurt Gift Card With A Cat Mascot On It And He'll Be Clueless Smiling Again"

"Mmmm....Okay I Guess.."
Poppy Said, But Still Really Felt Bad As She Rubbed Her Arm, Guilty.

"1 Brother Down! 3 More To Go? 🤜"
Branch Wrapped His Arm Around Poppy And Held His Fist Out.

Poppy Sighed And Put Out Her Fist To Complete The Fist Bump.
"🤛 3 More To Go.."

~~~

~Meanwhile~

Off To Get Some More Advice Of What To Get The Ultimate Gift Giver That Is Her Sister, Viva Went To Attend A Special Meeting Group In Pop Village, Known As: "The Poppy Present Support Group"

In The Meeting, A Bunch Of Trolls Sat Around In A Circle, Where They Would Discuss Their Deepest Feelings Of When Poppy Would Give Them The Most Magical And Heartfelt Gift Of Their Lives.

Viva Came Over To The Meeting Before It Began And Took Her Seat.
"Can't Believe Me Not Trying To Find A Gift For My OWN Sister Results In This! I'm One Shameful Older Sis.."

Satin And Chenille Were Both Beside Viva As She Spoke.
"WE SAY THAT EVERYDAY!"

"AHHHHHHH- Satin? Chenille? What Are You Guys Doing Here?"
Viva Questioned The Twins.

"Oh, We Just Come For The Snacks-"
Satin Said As She Ate A Donut.

"Cause SOMEONE Always Had To Be A Big Back And Eat Up ALLLLL Our Food Supplies -.-"
Chenille Glared Over At Her Sister.

"HEY! I'M NO BIG BACK! I'm Just A Foodie 🙁"
Satin Said With A Little Frown.

"What About You Veev?"
Chenille Asked Viva.

"Well Since Yesterday When You Two Told Me About Poppy Being The Ultimate Gift Giver- I'VE BEEN FREAKING OUT! If I Don't Get A Gift To Out-Do My OWN Sister....I'll Be The Worse Sibling Known To Troll Kind! OR SISTER KIND FOR THAT MATTER!"
Viva Said As She Got Stressed With Anxiety.

"And Sister Kind Is The Worseeee.."
Chenille Shook Her Head.

"So You Came To The Poppy Present Support Group For Help?"
Satin Questioned Her.

"I Thought Maybe If I Heard What Other Trolls Got From Poppy, Maybe It'd Help Me Top It!"
Viva Explained To The Twins.

"Last Time We Joined This Group, Us, Biggie, Branch, Smidge, And DJ Almost Killed Each Other To Get Poppy A Flower For Her Half Birthday"
Satin Told To Viva.

"Oh Yeah? How'd That Turn Out"
Viva Asked, Curiously.

"It Ended Up With Us Giving Her The Flower As....A Group Gift 😦"
Satin Replied In A Disturbing Tone.

"eEeuGh.."
Viva, Satin, And Chenille All Shivered In Disgust From The Thought Of A Group Gift.

Smidge, The Host Of The Support Group, Came Up Onto The Stand.
"I Hereby Declare The Meeting Of The Poppy Present Support Group Into Action! With It Being The Holiday Season, Poppy Is Bound To Get Everyone Here A Meaningful Gift That Will STAND Against The Test...Of Time...Within Us 😔✊️"

"AMEN! 😔✊️"
The Trolls In The Support Group All Shout Together As They Patted Their Chests.

"Now Let's Go Around The Circle With Anyone Who'd Like To Share What Poppy Has Graciously Given Them Over The Years On Christmas"
Smidge Told The Group.

"I'll Start, Hi Everyone, I'm Moxie Dewdrop"
Moxie Stood Up And Introduced Herself.

"Hi Moxie"
The Support Group Replied With An Unenthusiastic Greeting.

"It's Been Five Years Since Poppy Gave Me The Gift Of A Hug.."
Moxie Told The Group.

"Huh, Not So Bad"
Viva Said To Herself.

"...FOR 29 HOURS!!!! Thank You"
Moxie Finished And Sat Back Down.

"Hallelujah To That Moxie....Hallelujah To That.."
Smidge Patted Her Heart Again.

"😬"
Viva Gulped To Herself, Not Knowing How To Outdo That Kind Of Gift.

"Hello Everyone, I'm Thistle"
Thistle McCall Stood Up.

"Hi Thistle"
The Support Group Unenthusiastically Greeted Back To Him.

"Last Year Poppy Gifted Me An Essay Of How Well I Tricked Branch A While Back With Mr. Glittercakes And I Think To Myself...What If I'm A Master Trickster....WHAT IF I'M A MASTER TRICKSTER!!! 😨"
Thistle Said As He Gripped His Chair.

"Deep Stuff"
Smidge Nodded To Herself.

"Poppy Once Gifted Me A YOU CAN DO IT Poster For Motivation And Everyday It Motives Me To Run And Run And Run...But I Realize...I've Never Gone Nowhere In Life Without Poppy....NOWHERE!!!"
Mandy Sparkledust Expressed Herself.

After Numerous Of Trolls Speaking Up About Their Past Gifting Experiences From Poppy, Viva Began To Get More Anxiety, Knowing She Can't Possibly Top ANY Of Those Gifts.

"And Now We Move Onto Our Newest Member, Poppy's Own Older Sister, Viva"
Smidge Gestured And Introduced Viva.

Viva Cleared Her Throat And Stood Up.
"A-Ahem, Hey Everyone! I'm Viva"

"Hi Viva"
The Support Group Once Again Unenthusiastically Greeted Her Back.

"I'm Here For The First Time Due To...Well...For The Gift Swap This Year, I Got My Sister Poppy To Give A Gift To.."
Viva Nervously Rubbed Her Neck.

"OH MYYYY GAAAAAAHHHH!!!"
Smidge Yelled Out In Agony After Hearing That From Viva.

"SHE'S DOOMEDDDD!!!"
Thistle Screamed Out.

"SHE CAN'T POSSIBLY GIFT THE ULTIMATE GIFT GIVER! AND ON CHRISTMAS?!?!?!"
Mandy Sparkldust Said.

"SHE'S SCREWEDDDDD!!!"
Moxie Dewdrop Said.

"HER BEING HERE IN OUR PRESENCE MIGHT GIVE US BAD LUCK OF GETTING POPPY NEXT YEAR FOR THE GIFT SWAP!"
Rudy, One Of The Trolls Screamed.

"WAIT WAIT! BUT I CAME HERE FOR HELP TO MAYBE GET SOME ADVICE OF HOW TO WRITE HER A SONG AS A GIFT!"
Viva Told The Support Group.

"A SONG FOR A GIFT?!?! EVEN WORSE AND MORE IMPOSSIBLE!!"
Moxie Dewdrop Said.

"SANCTUARY! SANCTUARY! RUN IN A CRAZY SCATTERED MOB!!!"
Smidge Instructed And Yelled At The Support Group.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💨"
The Support Group Of Trolls All Scattered Crazily To Run Away From Viva's Problem.

"What Kind Of Support Group Was That? .___."
Viva Said To Herself.

"A Trolls One"
Satin Replied To Her.

"Fair Enough-"
Viva Shrugged At That.

"Wait- You Were Gonna Write Poppy A Song As Her Gift Swap Present?"
Chenille Questioned.

"THAT'S GENIUS ACTUALLY! Poppy Loves A Great Song!"
Satin Nodded At Viva.

"Yeah But The Song Has To Be The Best Holiday Song Ever To Out Gift The Ultimate Gift Giver...And If I Can't Do That....Poppy's Christmas Will Be Ruined.."
Viva Told The Twins Before Wrapping Her Scraf On And Walking Off Sadly.

Satin And Chenille Glanced At Each Other, With The Same Idea In Mind.
"INTERVENTION!"

Chenille Took Out Her Snailphone To Call Someone They Knew Can Help.
"Queen Barb? Could You Make A Trip Over To Pop Village As Soon As Possible? 👀"

~~~

~Back In The Bunker~

After Completing One Of Their 4 Operations For The Mission Of Keeping BroZone Home For The Holidays, Poppy, Branch, And Mr. Dinkles Returned To The Bunker To Brainstorm Ideas For The Next Operation.

Branch Crossed Out Floyd's Photo On His Vision Board.
"Floyd's Operation Has Been Complete! Now Onto Clay!"

"My Favorite BroZone Member! Gehe 🤭"
Poppy Giggled To Herself.

"Don't Tempt Me -.-"
Branch Glared At Her Girlfriend.

"Alright Plans To Stop Clay's Holiday Plan! What We Got?"
Poppy Asked Her Boyfriend.

"Hmmm, Clay's Bro-liday Tradition Was Performing His Annual 12 Pranks Of Christmas Sooo.."
Branch Tapped A Pencil On His Chin.

"OOO! LIKE THE SONG! THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS!"
Poppy Said Excitedly.

"Yes, Great For You Finally Catching Onto That-"
Branch Said Using A Sarcastic Tone.

"And Clay Also Mentioned That His Plans For Christmas Is His Depressing Literature Session Holiday Spectacular With His Book Club! He's Hosting!"
Poppy Reminded Her Boyfriend.

"Hmmm...Ooh! OOH! THAT'S PERFECT! I KNOW HOW TO INTERFERE WITH THAT PLAN!"
Branch Was About To Run Off.

Poppy Grabbed Branch's Hand.
"Wait Wait! Orrrrr....We Can Take A Break From This And Do Some Holiday Couple Stuff I Listed For Us To Do Together 😁"

"....Uhhhh...Sureeee Why Don't You Tell Me That WHOLEEE List While I Go Get Something- 🏃‍♂️"
Branch Immediately Dashed Off To Clay's Room In The Bunker.

Poppy Blinked And Took Out Her List.
"Um Okay? AHEMEMEMEM! First Thing I Thought We Can Do Is Make Snow Angels For Two Hours, And Then We'll 'll Go Ice Skating, And Then We'll 'll Eat A Whole Roll Of Trollhouse Cookie Dough As Fast As We Can, And Then To Finish, WE'LL SNUGGLE UNDER THE- Well This Is Stupid, He's Not Even Here To Listen .___."

"FOUND ITTTTTTTT!"
Branch Sang With His Falsetto Made Of Gold As He Came Back With A Folded Piece Of Paper.

"Found What Exactly?"
Poppy Asked And Curious.

Branch Unfolded The Paper To Reveal A Written Song On It.
"It's Clay's 12 Annual Pranks Of Christmas Song! He Wrote It To Recite All 12 Pranks He's Done!"

The 12 Prank's Of Christmas Song:

🎶 "On the first day of Christmas
Clay pranked our family..
Twelve rotten shortcakes,
Eleven sharpies markers,
Ten banana peels,
Nine hanging spiders,
Eight stinky stockings,
Seven toothpaste cookies,
Six whoopi cushions,
Five glitter bombs,
Four glued seats,
Three jumpscares,
Two sneak attacks,
With a snowball in
the square's face!" 🎶

Poppy Read The Song In Her Head.
"Dang, Clay Wrote And Did All That?! He Truly Was A Devious Alvin-Child Back Then"

"You Have NOOOO Idea- BUT! This Is Great For The Plan!"
Branch Gestured At The Song.

"You Want Us To Prank Clay With His Old Song?"
Poppy Raised Her Eyebrow.

"No! Look, Clay's Having His Sad Book Club Meeting This Evening Right?"
Branch Said To Poppy.

"Yeahhhh Sooooo?"
Poppy Tried To Catch On.

"Clay's Whole Thing Now Is Being Serious Than Fun, And Everyone Knows That Including His Sad Book Club!"
Branch Added On.

"Go Onnnnn.."
Poppy Said Stroking Her Chin.

"Since He's Hosting The Club, If Clay Were To Go Back And Pull His Fun Childish Pranks ON The Club.."
Branch Nudged Poppy To Catch On.

Poppy Gasped And Got It.
"THEN THEY WOULDN'T WANT HIM TO HOST OR BE PART OF THE CLUB FOR THE HOLIDAYS!"

"BINGOOOOO!"
Branch Playfully Poked Poppy's Stomach.

"Wait But That'll Be Impossible! Clay Is sEriOUs Boy Now, What Makes You Think He'll Just Willingly Prank His Sad Book Club Members?"
Poppy Thought To Herself.

Branch Bounced His Eyebrows At His Girlfriend.
"Who Said Anything About Clay Pulling The Pranks 👀"

"Ahhhhh Gotcha Gotcha You Sneaky Minks You~"
Poppy Bounced Her Eyebrows At Her Boyfriend Back.

"Now If We're Gonna Pull Off These Pranks, We Can't Just Walk Right Into The Club As Ourselves Or Everyone Will Get Suspicious.."
Branch Tapped His Head.

"Then We're Gonna Need Disguises!"
Poppy Suggested To The Plan.

Branch Got An Idea Of A Disguise.
"Hmmmm I Might Know Just The Thinggggg.."

~~~

Coming Out Of His Closet, Branch Came Out Wearing A Table Cloth He Was Gonna Use As A Disguse, And Showed It For Poppy And Mr. Dinkles's Approval.

Poppy Blankly Stared At That Choice.
"Uhhh..."

"Mew"
Mr. Dinkles Mewed As He Thought The Table Cloth Looked Like An Unattractive Dress.

"It's Not A Dress, It's A QUILT! SICKO!"
Branch Ripped Off The Table Cloth, Revealing His Lingerie Underneath, And Went To Try On Another Disguse.

~~~

Coming Out Again To Show Another Disguse He Found, Branch Walked Out His Closet To Show Poppy And Mr. Dinkles His Old Baby Overalls And Bowtie He Wore To School Back In The Day.

"Mmmm..."
Poppy Tilted Her Head At The Disguse.

"T-T-T-This D-D-Doesn't F-F-Fit L-L-Like I-I-It U-U-Used T-T-To.."
Branch Said As His Baby Clothes Were Everso Too Tight On Him.

"That And It Makes You Look Like A Blue Steve Urkel"
Poppy Replied With A Giggle.

"I-I-IT W-W-WAS A-A-AN E-E-ERA!"
Branch Said In A Tight Voice As He Carefully Waddled Back To The Closet.

~~~

Branch Rapidly Threw Clothes Out Of His Closet To Look For Disguises.
"Stupid! Lousey! Out Of Date! THIS IS RIDICULOUS! IF I CAN'T FIND A DISGUISE FOR US THEN IT'S HOPELESS!"

Poppy Scratched Her Head.
"Well Branch Maybe We Can-"

"SH! Wait....Do You Hear That?"
Branch Shushed Poppy As His Ears Twitched Hearing Something From Outside.

~~~

Outside Of The Bunker, A Troll Was Dancing In A Black Spandex Outfit As He Was Dancing To Single Ladies By "Beyoncé", Doing The Dance Moves Seen In The Music Video.

"If you liked it you should've put a ring on it! Whoa oh oh! Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh! Whoa oh- WHOAAAA!"
The Troll Suddenly Got Grabbed By The Neck And Pulled Away.

~~~

Branch, Trying On The Black Spandex Outfit, Came Out To Flex It On.
"Oooh! 💅 "

"Aaah! ✨️"
Branch Twirled Around As He Struck A Pose With The Spandex On.

"Mmmmm~ 🍑 That's It, I'm Done 🚶‍♂️"
Branch Felt His Ass In Weird Way Before Giving Up And Walking Away.

~At The Sad Book Club~

Later In The Evening, Inside Of One Of The Pods In Pop Village, The Sad Book Club Was Being Held For Their Depressing Literature Session Holiday Spectacular, As Clay Was The Host For It And All The Club Memebers Gathered Around.

Clay Stood In The Center Of The Pod.
"Hello! Hello! Sad Greetings To You All And Happy Holidays As I Welcome You To Our Depressing Literature Session Holiday Spectacular!"

"👏....👏....👏....👏..."
The Sad Book Club Members All Slowly Clapped, In A Sorrowful Way.

Clay Nodded And Grinned At Everyone.
"Thank You Thank You Very Much, I'm Very Honored To Be This Year's Host! So We'll Begin Shortly So-"

"IT BETTER START! I AIN'T GETTING ANY OLDER HERE!"
Pebble, A Grumpy Old Man Troll Said As He Eager To Start Already.

"Right You Are Pebble! And Soon You'll Be Getting Dustier In Your Ashes! 😁"
Clay Said Back With A Innocent Grin.

"Watch It Cudi Kid -.-"
Pebble Said Slowly Pointing At Clay.

"Other Way Around But ANYBOO! EVERYONE GET COMFY AND ENJOY THE SNACKS! We'll Start In A Few Minutes!"
Clay Announced To The Club.

In The Corner Of The Pod, Poppy, Branch, And Mr. Dinkles Were Trying To Blend In, As They Were Disguised As Depressing Emo Billie Elish Style Costumes And Clothing.

Branch Cleared His Throat And Whispered Over To Poppy.
"Psst! Ready Poppy?"

"Ugh, I Can't Believe You Made Me Wear This! This Belt Buckle Is Pinching My Tummy!"
Poppy Tried To Straighten Her Clothes.

"Shhh! We're Trying To Blend In And This Was The Best Disguise To Blend Into A Sad Environment"
Branch Whispered To Her.

"The Things I Do For You.."
Poppy Sighed With Her Head Shaking.

"Now We Just Have To Get Clay Outta Here To Pull Off The 12 Pranks"
Branch Said To Poppy.

"Then We'll Need A Distraction! Mr. Dinkles, Do Ya Thing"
Poppy Winked Down To Mr. Dinkles.

" M e w "
Mr. Dinkles Mewed In A Depressing Way To Match The Energy Of The Sad Book Club Before He Squirmed Away Out The Door.

Maple, One Of The Club Members Ran To Clay And Hugged Him Tight.
"CLAY! EEEEEE! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DEPRESSING LITERATURE SESSION HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR! Although We Should Discuss That Long Title, BUT WHO CARES! WE'RE GONNA SADLY READ AND DEEPEN OUR HEARTS! EEEEE!!"

Clay Chuckled As He Parted From Maple's Hug.
"Right You Are Maple! This Will Give Us A Chance To Harden Our Hearts To Christmas Sadly....And The Red Knight Goblin We Call Saint Nick 😒"

"Red Knight Goblinnnnn 😑, I LOVE HOW MUCH WE DESPISE THAT GUY! HEHE!"
Maple Laughed At That.

Branch, Coming Up To Clay, Used His Disguised Voice To Talk To Him.
"hEy uH fEllOw sEriOuS duDe, sOMe rAnDoM wOrm oUtsIdE iS diSreSpEctInG jAmeS fRoNd"

"WHAT?! OH HELL NO- JAMES FROND SHALL BE INSULTED BY NO WORM! THANKS FOR THE TIP FELLOW CLUB MEMBER! 🏃‍♂️💨"
Clay Immediately Dashed Out The Door Of The Pod.

Branch Took Out His Walkie Talkie And Spoke Into It.
"Alright Poppy, Time To Commence The 12 Pranks Of Christmas"

Poppy Over The Walkie Talkie: "Copy That Brookie!"

"Wait What? What Did You Call Me?"
Branch Said Into The Walkie Talkie.

Poppy Over The Walkie Talkie: "Brookie! Ya Know, Branch And Pookie Smushed Together! Brookie!"

"OHHHH! I Like It But Not Alot 😃.....I Don't Like It 😑"
Branch Replied Over The Walkie Talkie.

Almond, One Of The Members, Went By The Snack Table And Took One Of The Shortcakes To Eat, But Then Spit It Out To Realize It Was Rotten And Spoiled.

"BLEUGH! Who Dare To Put Rotten Shortcakes On The Snack Table! It Is Much Not Sophisticated Of Them!"
Almond Said, Straightening Himself.

Poppy, In Her Disguse, Stood By Almond And Shook Her Head.
"Tsk Tsk...Shame That Ol' Clay Replaced The Good Shortcakes With Rotten Ones For A Quick Joke...It Just Ain't Right"

"....Do I Know You?"
Almond Raised His Eyebrow.

"Uhhh- NOPE!"
Poppy Hid Her Face Into Her Shirt As She Quickly Moved Away.

Bramble, One Of The Members, Went To The Bathroom And Looked In The Mirror, Only To See That His Face Was Covered In Sharpie Drawings And Markings.

"AH! WHAT THE FLIP?! WHO DREW ON MY FACE?! Although I Do Admire The Craftsmanship Of Each Individual Drawing And The Design Of How Complex They All Are BUT WHO DARESSSS!!"
Bramble Said Into The Mirror.

Branch, In His Disguise, Popped Up Behind Bramble In The Bathroom.
"Darn That Clay! Seems He Can't Shake His Fun Immature Side And Decided To Just Prank You With Those PERMANENT Sharpie Drawings! Terrible Amrite?"

"....Do I Know You?"
Bramble Questioned Branch In The Disguse.

"Um- Nope! I Reckon You Don't!"
Branch Backed Up And Left The Bathroom.

Coast & Shore, Two Twins Of The Club, Walked Around The Pod Together, Not Aware They Were About To Step Over Banana Peels.

"I Love You More! 😊"
Coast Booped Shore's Nose.

"No I Love You More! 😊"
Shore Booped Coast's Nose.

"No I- WHOOAAAA! OOF!"
Coast And Shore Both Slipped Over 10 Banana Peels, Landing On The Backs.

"OWWW.....I Still Love You! 😊😊"
Coast And Shore Said In Pain, But Still Expressed Their Sister Twin Love.

Nettle, Another Member, Went To Sit In A Chair Until A Fake Spider Dangled Above Her.
"AAAH! W-W-What Was That?!"

Sage, Another Member, Quickly Came To Protect Her Best Friend.
"I'M HERE FOR YOU NET! What Happened?!"

"T-T-There Was Dangling Spiders Above Me! Normally I Love Spider Critters But THOSE ARE SCARY!"
Nettle Shyly Pointed Above Her.

Sage Snatched The Fake Spiders And Gripped Them.
"UGH! These Are Fake! Who Dares To Scare Nettle?! Unless It Was That Sickening Bramble -.-"

Poppy Popped Up Behind Sage And Nettle.
"Nope! That Was Clay! We Felt He Might've Not Gotten Rid Of His Fun Side Of Things"

"I Guess Some Trolls Just Can't Change Or Help Themselves.."
Branch Shook His Head.

"Do We Know You Two?"
Sage Raised Her Eyebrow At Poppy And Branch In Disguises.

"Just Forget We're Here.."
Poppy And Branch Said Together As They Lowered Themselves Behind The Chair.

After Numerous Pranks From The 12 Pranks Of Christmas Song, From Stinky Stockings, Toothpaste Cookies, Whoopi Cushions, Glitter Bombs And More, Almost Each And Every Member Of The Club Got Pranked.

Pebble Went Up To Get A Coffee Drink, Until Suddenly A Snowball Was Thrown At His Face.
"OW! DARN HECK WAS THAT?!"

Branch Popped Up Beside Pebble.
"That Sir, Was A Snowball!"

Poppy Popped Up Beside Pebble As Well.
"Thrown By None Other Than The Host Clay! I Mean His DNA Was ALLLL Over That Snowball"

"MMMMMMUGGGHHH!! NO ONE MESSES WITH MY COFFEE! ESPECIALLY NOT CUDI BOY!"
Pebble Said In His Elderly Anger.

"Clay Messed With Nettle Too! Pranking Her Against Her Love For Spiders!"
Sage Said As She Comforted Nettle.

Bramble Came Up With His Face Covered In Sharpie.
"And He Drew Drawings ALL Over My Face! Again, Love The Craftsmanship But This Is Permanent Marker! Although It Would Be Nice For Tatoos And Other Designs As Well A-"

"Okay No One Asked For A Yappers Meal Dude-"
Sage Said At Bramble.

Fern, Another Member, Stepped Up As She Ugly Cried About What Clay Did.
"And Clay Pranked Me With A Glitter Bomb! RUINING MY SAD DRESS TO LOOK MORE SPARKLINGGGG 😭😭"

"Not To Mention Clay Set Whoopi Cushions Underneath My Seat! No One Wants To Date A Farter.."
Jewel Frowned To Herself.

"And There's No One Else To Blame Than Clay Himself!"
Branch Said To The Club Members.

"Pretty Shameful To Be A Host For This Holidays Amrite?"
Poppy Said With A Snicker.

Maple Tilted Her Head At Poppy And Branch.
"....Do I Know You?"

"We Feel Like We Know Them Too!"
Coast And Shore Say Together.

"Uhhh No No, You Don't Know Us We're Um....New! And Foreignnnn..?"
Branch Tried To Make Up.

"From The Country Of....Billie...Elish...Landia..?"
Poppy Tried To Make Up As Well.

"Makes Sense-"
Almond Shrugged To Himself.

"But The Fact Of The Matter Is, What To Do About Clay Hosting When He's Clearly Pranking All Of Us!"
Branch Told The Club Members.

"I Say We FIRE THE CUDI BOY!"
Pebble Shouted And Suggested.

"YEAH!!!"
Everyone In The Sad Book Club Shouted As They Wanted To Get Rid Of Clay.

Maple Stood In The Center To Calm Everyone Down.
"Okay Okaaay Everyone Settle! Now I Know It May Seem Clay Has Made Some Rather....Childish Choices In Wanting To Prank Us All But C'monnnn! This Is Clay We're Talking About! Our Buddy! Can't We All Just Give Him Another Chance? 😁"

Suddenly, As Maple Said That, Branch Secretly Pressed A Button Behind His Back That Activated A Snowball Being Shot Into Maple's Face Out Of Nowhere.

Maple Sighed Annoyingly As She Wiped The Snow Off Her Face.
"......Fire Him"

"YEAAAHHHH!!"
The Club Members All Cheer As They Were All On The Same Page Now.

"Hehehehe~ 🤜🤛"
Poppy And Branch Sneakily Fist Bumped Each Other Behind Their Backs.

Clay Came Back Into The Pod, Dusting Off His Hands.
"Whew! Got Rid Of That Random Worm Dissing James Frond! No Matter Serious Boy Or Fun Boy, James Will Always Be Respected By Me ✊️ NOW! Let's Get This Depressing Literature Session Holiday Spectacular Going!"

"We Don't Think So Mr. Serious Boy....If That Is Your Real Identity -.-"
Pebble Said, Glaring At Clay.

"Listen Old Timer, You're Just In Need Of Your Nap And Prune Juice So Calm Your Wrinkles"
Clay Patted Pebble's Head.

"No, Pebble's Right Clay! How Can You Host Tonight's Club If YOU Disrespect All Of Us With Your fUn Pranking"
Maple Told Clay.

"Fun Pranking? What Are You Talking About? Guys Remember, Serious Boy Now"
Clay Replied To Maple.

"Serious? DOES THIS LOOK SERIOUS TO YOU CUDI BOY?!?!"
Pebble Turned Clay's Head.

As Clay's Head Was Turned, He Glanced At Every Club Members Affected By Each Of The 12 Pranks Pulled On All Of Them.

"Whoaaaa What Prank-nado Hit You Guys?"
Clay Chuckled To Himself.

"YOU!!!! -.-"
All The Club Members Shout And Crossed Their Arms At Clay.

"WHAT?! C'mon Now! You All Can't Believe I Did This?! I Don't Do Pranks Anymore!"
Clay Told Them.

"The Proof's All In My Damaged Coffee Cup Cudi Boy -.-"
Pebble Glared More At Clay.

"HMPH!"
Everyone Gave Clay The Cold Shoulder And Firmly Stared At Him.

Clay Put His Hands Up, To Seem Innocent As If He Was Framed.
"GUYSSSS C'MONNNN IT'S ME CLAAAY C'MONNN, SERIOUS BOOYYY C'MONNNNN YA KNOWWW...WELL-OILED ROBOT...CPA...HOST OF TONIGHT....Right?"

Maple Sassingly Stepped Up To Clay.
"......Ex-Host -.-"

~~~

"AAAAAEEEAAAA- D'OH!"
Clay Shrieked Like A Female As He Was Thrown Out Of The Club Pod And Landed Into A Pile Of Snow.

"AND STAY OUT CUDI BOY!"
Pebble Shouted As He Angrily Slammed Shut The Door To The Pod.

S L A M !

Clay Raised His Head Out Of The Snow And Groaned To Himself.
"Uugggghh.."

Branch, Still In Disguise, Came Over To Clay And Patted His Head.
"Yeesh, Tough Luck Huh Dude?"

"Womp Wompppp.."
Poppy Also Patted Clay's Head.

"Guess That Means You Should Spend The Holidays With Your Family Instead Huh?"
Branch Bounced His Eyebrows At Clay.

Clay Raised His Eyebrow At The Two, Not Recognizing Them In Disguises.
".....Do I Know You Two?"

"Uhhhh....NOPE!"
Branch And Poppy Said As They Walked Away Quickly Before Clay Recognized Them.

Clay Sighed As He Faceplanted His Head Back Into The Snow, Being Kicked Out Of His Club.
"Bah-Hum-Bug.."

With Another Operation Completed, 2 Of Of The 4 Brothers Plans Have Been Sabotaged, As Poppy And Branch Fist Bump Each Other 🤜🤛, Going On To Continue On With Their Mission.
