- 10 HOURS -

All of those moments are things that are inspired by me and siblings on roadtrips- yw. Enjoy.


...

- HURRY UP BOYS !! WE'RE LEAVING IN 2 MINUTES !!

The van critter was full of bags and 3 huge cool boxes; Brozone was on a tour around the troll tree and for the first time they were going to perform on the biggest stage known in the village! Only to get there, it took a while [8 hours !!], and Rosiepuff had decided to make this a fun roadtrip that they spread on 2 days... worst idea ever and she would soon know why.

Only Baby Branch was already sitting in the baby seat behind the driver seat, nibbling on his Crocko the crocodile plush. The boys were still preparing their activities bag where they choosed what they would keep with them in the car, even though she had told them to prepare them yesterday-- first to arrive, running, was Clay.

- I'M THE FASTEST AHAHAH- He throwed his bag in the car, YEET-

- CLAY ! Rosiepuff jumped when she heard the sound of his many books crashing against the window, Careful !

- Sorry Grandma ! He climbed in the car to get to the backseat, close to the window, right behind Branch, Aaaah ! Sweet spot !! He placed all of his books next to the window like a little library.

Floyd, Spruce and John arrived short after, all carrying their bags to the car so they could go.

- OKAY! She said, as we planned yesterday, Floyd gets the front next to Branch! She helped him to climb in the car.

- I wanna be next to the window ! Spruce insisted,

- I'm the one with motion sickness though I thought everyone knew that ! John Dory mentionned, surprisingly when you know what troll he would grow up to be, I need the fresh air !!

Rosiepuff held back herself from rolling her eyes, she took a package of pills and gave one to John Dory as she spoke to Spruce;

- You know why John gets to sit by the window, sweetheart.

- HE ALWAYS GETS TO WINDOW, AND... CLAY IS BORING !

- HEY-

- HE WILL READ THE WHOLE TRIP AND AND... JOHN STINKS SO I NEED THE FRESH AIR.

- Fine, do you wanna sit next to Floyd then ? She tried to give him another option.

She proposed to move the baby seat between Clay and John Dory, which Floyd blinked in confusion, because then how could he play with his best brother friend ??

Spruce saw the pony dolls the pink toddler had took out of his activity bag and grumbled;

- URGHH, He climbed in the car, followed by John Dory that took the window seat, like planned.

- Relllaaax, Clay rolled his eyes at his brother crossing his arms angrily, I'll let you my seat later if you want.

- That's very nice of you, Clay, Rosiepuff smiled.

- Grandmaaaa, can I bring Rhonda ???

John Dory made puppy eyes, but no- she had refused a thousand times already, so she shook her head.

The family was ready to leave... but as Grandma sat down in front of the steering wheel, she realized she had forgot the keys.

- Oh- I'll be back in a second, no switch ! She pointed to the group of trollings.

She got out of the cartepiller and quickly went to grab the keys in the pod.

Clay had already opened one of his books and was flipping through the pages as he waited for Grandma to come back.

It was taking a while.

- Urgh... John sighed annoyed it took so long.

He looked over at Spruce that had discretely started to read along with Clay, and then at the two youngest children in the front; Floyd was proposing one of his game to Branch that was staring at him with wide open eyes;

- I could play Sunshine Springs, and you Branch, you can be... hmmm...

- Waa, Branch tried to hit the yellow pony doll with his blue crocodile plush.

- A dragon?? Floyd smiled, Oh ! Like a mean or nice dragon? I kinda prefer nice dragons, Floyd admited.

John Dory smirked, and moved up from his seat;

- I got the perfect role for Branch ! He giggled, taking the baby out of the seat.

He placed him in the front seat, Branch curiously took the steering wheel in his chubby little hands. John Dory faked making the baby drive the car.

- But... that's the driver seat ! Floyd was confused, but giggled, Branch can't drive !!

That immediately remembered JD of a catchy song;

- BABY IN THE DRIVER SEAT.

Knowing the song, Spruce smiled and clapped his hands;

- OKAY !!!

BABY IN THE DRIVER SEAT
.

BABY IN THE DRIVER SEAT !!

BABY IN THE DRIVER SEAT

- oOOoOooOooo ! Floyd playfully made a dramatic note.

- YEAAA, Clay screamed randomly.

BABY IN THE DRIVER SEAT !!!

HONNNNKK

-Branch had just slammed his huge head against the honk.

- AH ! Everyone jumped and covered their ears.

Rosiepuff ran out of the pod and went to the driver door to quickly lift Branch off the steering wheel;

- BOYS ! She placed the infant back in the baby seat while he was laughing out loud, Why was Branch in the driver seat??

- BRANCH IS IN THE DRIVER SEAT !!! Floyd just laughed his heart out.

The Grandma just couldn't help but giggle and think of this as a funny accident.

...

The car was on the road now, having left the pod 30 minutes ago. The first part of the trip was always the easiest after all;

Clay was reading one of his books.

Spruce had fell asleep- of course he did.

John Dory was imagining a super cool squirrel jumping on the branches outside to the beat of a music he was humming to.

And Floyd was speaking none stop with Branch as they played with their toys, very quietly still so it wasn't bothering anyone.

- Can I play music on the radio ? John Dory suddendly asked Grandma Rosiepuff.

No one else was asking, so she nodded;

- Sure, but only one ! She told him.

John Dory opened a trap in the ground next to Floyd's seat; there were all the mixtapes that they would play. Floyd looked over his shoulder and noticed one song that he really liked;

- OOO !! Can we play Barbie Girl ?? He asked, Branch likes this song !! He smiled, taking the mixtape and giving it to the driver.

- NO ! Grandma said I could choose a song !! JD frowned and picked one quickly; This one !!

It was a song with not such a good meaning behind the lyrics;

I'M BRINGIN SEXY BACK (yeah)
THEM OTHER BOYS DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACT (yeah)
I THINK IT'S SPECIAL WHAT'S BEHIND YOUR--

Grandma immediately stopped the song;

- JOHN DORY! She glared at him in the rear view mirror, Choose an appropriate song !!

- What do you mean ?? It was appropriate ! It was written by-

- CAN WE PLAY MY SONG NOW?? Floyd was bouncing on his seat.

She took the mixtape since the turquoise trolling couldn't come up with any appropriate songs and Barbie Girl was blasted in the car, waking Spruce next to the oldest child.

- Huh, what??.... he hummed.

I'M A BARBIE GIRL
IN A BARBIE WORLD
LIFE IN PLASTIC
IT'S FANTASTIC!!

- YAAAY !! Floyd and Branch cheered.

- THEIR SONG ISN'T APPROPRIATE EITHER !!! John crossed his arms, angry.

- We should play my song after, Clay smirked as he kept reading.

- If you think we are gonna all get rickrolled by your banana hair again- Spruce glared at his younger brother.

25 MIN OF BARBIE GIRL LATER ...

- MAKE. IT. STOOOP !! Clay couldn't even read anymore.

- AGAIN !!!!! Floyd and Branch were very much enjoying this.

- I WOULD PREFER GETTING RICK ROLLED PLEASE !!! Spruce was banging his head on the bench in front of him.

- I aM kEn, John Dory was loosing it.

- We need to do a stop to the feed critter station ! Grandma told them, So we are getting-

- FASTFOOD !!! Everyone raised their arms in the air.

The family stopped at Mc Muffin' Donnuts, a very popular fastfood in the trolls world that would sell lots of [as you guessed] muffin and donnuts. Only, the restaurant they found had a park outside... full of statues of...

- DINO-CRITTERS !!! Clay screamed out excited and jumping on his two feet, GRANDMA, GRANDMA THEY HAVE DINO-CRITTERS !!!

- WHY ISN'T YOUR BELT ON-

- DINO-CRITTERS !!!!

- WE ARE HERE FOR THE FASTFOOD NOT THE DINO-CRITTERS.

- Then why did you took him to a Dino- Mc Muf n' Don- Spruce asked.

Clay was the first to jump of the critter car and rush without looking to the closest statue of a dino-critter. His 7 year old body couldn't handle that much emotions so he was just screaming and jumping around the statue;

- DINO, DINO, DINO !! HAHSHSHAHA--

- CLAY ! Grandma called him, Cmon we're getting muffins !!

- DINO, DINO, Clay finally followed them, still screaming like a maniac.

She grabbed his hand and guided him inside of the fastfood restaurant. There everyone choosed to take blueberries muffins, something simple for those young trollings !

- I wanted the chocolate one ! Floyd sobbed quietly

- Aww, adorable thing !! The troll behind the counter did not realized they were BroZone and only saw an adorable toddler troll with cuddlepuppy eyes, Here you can have it !!

Floyd ended up with 2 muffins for his little hungry stomach. Spruce got offended;

- HEY!! Why does Floyd have 2 muffins ??

- Be the favorite child and maybe you will get one, Clay said to him.

- WHAT DOES THAT MEAN--

- Aww, here Spruce ! Floyd walked up to him with his blueberry muffin, two muffins is way too much for me !

He gave him the blueberry muffin and Spruce took it without protesting, John Dory was about to steal it but Spruce had already shared the muffin in two equals part to share;

- I choose peace-

After eating, the chaotic family was back outside in direction of their car for another hour and Clay's eyes sparkled as he saw the dino-critters, but he frowned;

- WAIT A SECOND, He rushed to one of them and Grandma sighed, Why don't they have feathers ???

- What-

- THEY DON'T HAVE FEATHERS THIS IS BAD, I NEED TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER-

- Clay enough ! We have to go or we will be late for the show tomorrow !!

She wrapped her hair around him and pulled him away from the dino-critters;

- NOO THOSE POOR MISS INFORMED TROLLS !!!! Clay shouted dramatically.

...

Now back in the cartepiller, the Brozone brothers and their grandma were back on the way to the show. Only because the trip took so much time, Rosiepuff had decided that it would be a great idea to do none other than camping- again, it was NOT a good idea.

First problem; they couldn't find the camping site.

Rosiepuff was trying to act like nothing, not wanting to trigger any bad reaction- but the smart ass kid that was Spruce realized quickly the situation they were in.

- Oh we're lost, he said.

- WE'RE LOST??? John Dory grabbed his vest and screamed into his face.

- ... I'm gonna loose my shit if you don't let go of me-

- LaNgUagE, Clay mimicked Grandma.

Grandma was about to say something, to rassure them that it was fine- but she wasn't quick enough before the 4 year old in the car started panicking;

- W-W... W-We're lost ? Floyd whimpered.

- ... very much, Spruce nodded.

- Totally, John Dory leaned back in his seat.

- Ooh ! "Book to read when you're lost"... Clay started to read his new book.

- Wost, Branch shoved Sunshine Springs in his mouth.

- ....................................

- ... oh uh- John Dory realized.

- ...WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! Floyd started to sob out loud.

Grandma reached to gently pat his knee and try calm him down while still driving;

- Aww, Floyd, we aren't lost ! Just a bit disoriented ! She told him gently

- I DON'T KNOW WHAT DISWENTOTED M-M-M-M-M-MEANSSSS!!

- No Floy- Spruce used the nickname, That's not how-

- I am a lost boy- from neverland- John Dory hummed.

- OH MY TROLL, Can you get any louder ?? Clay plugged his ears as he let go of his book called "Book to read when your little brother is breaking your ears from crying so loudly"

But then as if to cause more distress the rain started pouring on the roof if their cartepiller. Hearing the unexplained scary sound, Floyd panicked and cried louder.

- IT WASN'T AN ACTUAL REQUEST- Clay tried to hit him with his book.

- OKAY ! Well because we can't find the camping site and I can't see the road- We're eating dinner here, Rosiepuff decided.

She stopped their vehicule on the side of the road, since it was way too dangerous to drive with that weather. The brothers were all arguing in the back of the car when she turned around them, whistling to call their attention.

- Okay ! Now I'm gonna need your help guys ! Dinner is in the green cool box right behind Spruce's seat ! She explained, Can any of you reach it ??

- ON IT, Clay jumped above the seat into the trunk.

He opened the cool box, and started looking through it.

- Get the pasta salad ! Rosiepuff told him.

- OOOH, BURGERS !!! Clay showed proudly the package of not cooked burgers.

- SHE SAID THE SALAD, IDIOT, Spruce smacked the back of his head.

- OW ! Okay fine ! You boring-

- SAY THAT AGAIN.

- ....boring.

- YAAAAA!!!

They both jumped in the trunk of the car and started wrestling for the pasta salad. Rosiepuff being way too tall to get to them from the driver seat just couldn't stop the battle;

- John ! She called, Seperate them ?

- Why ? He asked, confused.

- Grandma ? Can we get burgers instead of papa salsa ?

- Pasta salad- John corrected.

- That's what I said ! Floyd glared at him.

But Grandma, using her hair to stop the battle between Spruce and Clay, shook her head;

- No, sweetie, we can't get the burgers.

......oh god you just know what's gonna happen I don't even need to wri-

- WAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! I WANTED B-B-B-BURGERSSSSS !!!!

- You MORRON, Clay shouted as Grandma lifted him in her hair, IT'S POURING OUTSIDE, YOU WANT SOGGY BURGERS ??!

- WAAAHHHH-

- AAAAHHHH!!! Branch thought the screaming was a game.

- MAKE IT STOP, MAKE IT STOP!!! Spruce pulled on his purple hair.

- Why ? John Dory asked once again.

- CAUSE I'M GONNA LEAVE THIS FAMILY, MARRY A MUPPET, HAVE 13 KIDS OF MY OWN AND NEVER COME BACK-

- What-

- I DON'T KNOW.

- OKAY ! Rosiepuff raised her voice, If you all don't STOP YOUR NONSENSE WE ARE GONNA PACK EVERYTHING UP AND IM GONNA TURN THIS VAN AROUND AND NOBODY IS PEFORMING JACKSQUAT, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!

The boys were all shocked by the call back to order. John Dory blinked;

- ....But I didn't scream-

- John Dowy, Branch randomly throwed Sunshine Spring on him.

- AAAAH!! the oldest yelled and tried to get rid of the saliva on his vest

- Now you did- Clay pointed out.

Soon the boys all had a plate of papa salsa on their laps and were eating their -cold- dinner. Floyd was a bit dissapointed they couldn't get the burgers but ended up really liking the salad. So win !

When the rain calmed down, the cartepiller took back on the road to find the camping site; they found it in a lost area and once there, took the tents out of the van to put them in place.

Rosiepuff kept looking at the sky full of gray clouds a bit unsure about this whole camping night now, but they did not had any choice of wherelse to sleep- no hotel would accept 5 young trollings screaming and arguing over who sits next to the window in the morning.

- Grandma ? Floyd pulled on her dress.

She smiled to the pink haired toddler, stopping her sky observation;

- Yes ?

- You'll never believe it... the toddler whispered, but Branch ate the instruction plan that was suppose help us build the tent !!

- HE WHAT—

Branch had in fact, somehow, ate the instructions of the tent and swallowed it. Now they had to build the tent without the instructions. Don't worry though, paper is safe for baby trolls.

- I guess we will just have to try understand how to build it ourselves- Rosiepuff sighed.

The family tried their best to communicate while building the tent, guessing what stick was suppose to be attached with the other stick– only without the instructions and 5 children screaming the whole time it was quite impossible to do the right thing.

After an entiere hour of trying to build the tent- it looked like a mess. But at least they could get inside of it and sleep there for the night, even if the other trolls gave them strange looks at the appereance of their tent- it looked like it had a weird curve on the right side.

Grandma was placing the beds with Branch sitting in a corner and Floyd's help while the rest of Brozone brothers were playing tag outside running around the tent. The sun was falling so she had to call them to bed time;

- Okay boys ! Time to go to sleep !

At least there was no protest and everyone rushed inside of the tent; after all it was more exciting to sleep in a tent than a pod.

The lights were soon closed, and everyone closed their eyes for a good night of sleep.

....

plic ploc

In the middle of the night, a certain little trolling with pink eyes woke up.

Floyd scanned the tent around him, holding his huge unicorn plush in his arms as he sat up. Branch was still sleeping peacefully next to him, Grandma was on the other side of him. At his feet were John, Clay and Spruce.

ploc plic ploc

His ear twitched when he heard the sound again and he looked at the weird roof of their shelter. He tried to lean in to see it better- only to realized his bed was LITERALLY in water.

- AH ! He squeaked, shaking his hand, What the ??

The corner of the tent was literally in a puddle of water, which was where half of his bed was. He was nervous to wake anyone up for this so he shook John Dory's shoulder.

- John ? He pulled on his hair.

The older brother gasped in pain;

- OW ! My hair !

His feet kicked Clay's face and the middle child woke up complaining as well. Spruce was still sleeping soundly even though Clay slapped him in the face by accident.

- What is it Floyd ?? John Dory asked him while Clay grumbled and tried to fall back asleep.

He had no idea- all he knew is that it was raining, but he had no idea the water would get through the tent so he came up with what seemed the most logical to him;

- I think Branch peed the bed !

- .... But he has a diaper on ?

- Look !

He showed John Dory the puddle, and immediately his blue eyes widened;

- Quick, Clay, grab a towel !

- Why me ??

- Just grab a towel !

The middle child gave up on his normal sleep schedule and grabbed a towel to give it to John Dory. The oldest placed it over the puddle, but the rain kept falling and did not help them to stop the flowing.

Until-

BADAM !

Thunder was heard, and out of nowhere, a downpour started and woke up everyone- except Spruce.

The tent was starting to fall under the weight of the intense shower. Grandma woke up in shock and tried to hold the structure up with her arm, the other protecting baby Branch that was crying loudly.

- AAH! HOLD IT UP GUYS ! She asked for help.

Clay was dying from laughter, John Dory was holding the tent above Grandma and Floyd- Floyd was just crying.

- WE'RE ALL GONNA DIEEEEE !!!!!!

- NO FLOYD, WE AREN'T, John Dory tried to stop him from crying again.

- AND I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT DISWENTOTED MEANS, WAAAAAHHH !!!!

- BUAHAHAHA- Clay was just laughing his ass off at this point.

- IT'S JUST RAIN IT'S GONNA STOP EVENTUALLY—

Meanwhile Spruce was snoring loudly through the chaos, with the tent 2 inches away from his nose.

- RRRRRHHHHH-Mimimimi....

IN THE MORNING...

The sun was rising on the camping site with critters singing randomly classical sunrise music. The brothers were all still asleep as Grandma had decided to sleep in the car because of the rain.

So the tent was all destroyed- so much that they just had to throw it away, sadly :/

Once she was up, she went back on the road, hoping her grandsons would sleep through the rest of the trip- 4 hours left. She can do it-

No she can not-

Branch was the first to wake up, feeling that the vehicule was moving. He started cooing as he noticed that Grandma was in the driver seat in front of him.

- Heyyy, Branch ! She smiled to him, Did you sleep well?

Branch puffed out his cheeks.

- ..... No please don't-

- ...👹 RAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!👹

Branch screamed like a demon out of joy, waking up everyone- except Spruce.

What? It's impossible to disturb Spruce ! He's sleep-unstoppable, the only thing that could wake him up is-

John Dory randomly ✨️ farted. ✨️

Smelling the bad perfume, the purple trolling opened his eyes, gasping for air.

- AAAH, OPEN THE WINDOW.

- Spruce, c'mon this is natu- AAAAHHHHHHH!!!! Clay screamed too when the smell reached his nostrils.

...

The carterpiller was stopped on the side of the road at a random lost in the middle of nowhere for a bathroom stop. All of them were done, waiting for John Dory to come back.

Suddendly the trolling ran out of the cabin, screaming as if he was being chased by a murderer. He jumped in the other front seat next to Grandma and tried to turn the keys to start the critter van.

- START THE CAR, START THE CAR !!!! He shouted, shaking, terrified.

Grandma, not asking any question, started to car slammed her foot on the pedal, taking off the road fastly. She looked over at her terrified grandson;

- WHAT WHAT-- WHY?? WHAT'S GOING ON??? She tried to make sure he wasn't hurt or something.

- I DID NUMBER 2 AND THE TOILET WASN'T FLUSHING.

Everyone stopped being scared and glared at him.

- Seriously ?? You almost gave Branch a heart attack !! Floyd gestured to the baby next to him.

- Bah, Branch was happy he had a diaper on so he was not afraid of not-flushing toilets.

Grandma just rolled her eyes- she really was impatient for this trip to finish now.

...

Story short- the family had gotten lost to the way to the show, and instead of 8 hours, they had spend 10 hours on this trip- they had been late to their own show.

So 2 days later they were back at the pod, and Grandma had to endure their shenanigans for 8 more hours. When they finally got to the pod, she sighed in relief; finally home !

- Everyone, we're there !

- YAYAY!! Floyd took Branch, letting all the ponies in the car to rush back inside of the pod.

Spruce and Clay followed- and Grandma noticed that John Dory was trying to hide something in his hair. She stopped him;

- John? What are you hiding?

The oldest child eyes widened in fear that he had been caught-

- Oh uh---

But before he could explain, his armadillo critter Rhonda rushed out of his hair.

- ..

Grandma blinked.

- ... I COULDN'T LEAVE HER HERE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN SO SAD-

- You're telling me that THIS WHOLE TIME, even if I told you NOT TO— YOU BROUGHT RHONDA WITH YOU ON THE TRIP ???

-..... yeah-

Grandma sighed- she would never be done with those trollings.

THE END.
