- The Best Brother -

It was night, stars weren't visible; the ones that usually painted the sky like diamonds were hidden by dark clouds.

No one suspected anything about the weather; it was time to get a good night of sleep. YET, the Timberlake brothers were still screaming and did not wanted, for sure, to go to bed— Grandma Rosiepuff did not have any control over this chaos, and dear heaven she did tried to stop them!

Running in the living room was John Dory, the oldest, trying to catch Clay; the middle child had stole the googles of the oldest sibling and had decided to be the first role of a theater play he just created, acting like his older sibling.

- CLAY GET BACK HERE !!

- WHO IS THIS AWESOME CLAY YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT?? This last mentionned climbed on the kitchen table; As the oldest sibling, I should stay up late tonight ! SHAKE THAT BOOTYYY

He just random started to dance, shaking well... that booty. JD took this as a provocation and jumped on the yellow haired trolling that had stole his precious glasses, Spruce walked in the room at this exact moment;

- Grandma says you should stop, he calmy stated, she can't handle this because she's busy giving a bath to Floyd and Branch.

- NEVERRRR!!!

- Kk, he mumbled.

He walked back to the bathroom; there Grandma Rosiepuff was trying to take the babies out of the tub but they had created a very fun game; playing submarine, aka splashing water everywhere.

- Watch that, Branch ! Floyd laughed.

He proceeded to hit and shake the water around like crazy to which Branch bursted out laughing and tried to make as much splashing.

- Floyd ! Cmon, it's getting late ! You two have to get to bed now ! Grandma tried to stop the game gently, but the brothers just ignored her, I know this is very fun but we gotta go to bed !!

- JUST FIVE MORE MINUTES !! Branch show her the Tsunami !!

He placed one of their toy [a yellow duck] on the water and Branch understood the assignement;

- WAAAAA!!! Branch just used both of his baby hands to hit the water, which ended on Rosiepuff's clothes with the duck.

- YOU DID IT BRANCH !!!

Both laughed and took another toy to do it again. Spruce went to pat Rosiepuff's shoulder:

- They don't wanna stop, he said, mentionning Clay and John Dory fighting in the kitchen.

- Urgh... Welp, tell them no story time if they don't get in their bed right now !

- Story Time?? Floyd's eyes sparkled.

- Gababoo? Branch's eyes sparkled too.

...

Eventually all the brothers were in their bed, wrapped in their blankets, tired from their crazy day. They were still awake but Rosiepuff had managed to calm them down with the story;

-... and the two critters became the best of friends ! The end, she closed the book, goodnight my little peachfuzzes, she told them.

She gave a kiss on everyone's forehead and left the room. Floyd and Branch were of course already asleep. Clay too since he had been running around the house a few minutes earlier and hummed in joy when Rosiepuff placed the sweet gesture on his forehead.

She closed the door quietly. Only a few seconds to be sure she was gone and John and Spruce started to talk;

- Hey Spruce?

...

- Spruceee ?

- What?

- Are you still awake ?

- Yeah ! I can't sleep !!

- Wanna sing a song??

.....

- CANDY GIRLLL, YOU ARE MY WORLD!!!

- YOU LOOK SO SWEET!! YOU'RE MY SPECIAL TR-

- GOODNIGHT BOYS!!! Grandma screamed from the other side of the pod.

- GOODNIGHT!!! They giggled and finally layed down.

....

Later in the night, the gray clouds really did covered the stars... and thunder shook the sky. The loud sounds of raindrops started to fall on the pod of the Brozone brothers.

One of them, the youngest sweet little baby Branch, woke up because of the scary thunder and immediately started to cry. It took a few seconds for Floyd to wake up;

- Branch? He whispered, What's going on?

The pinked haired toddler sat up in his bed and grabbed his flashlight; he opened it and walked toward the baby's bed, looking between the bars at the blue baby boi.

- Hey you're okay ! Floyd told him, you're safe ! Why are you crying ??

But Branch did not stopped crying. Floyd frowned and went to get help; he climbed in Clay's bed since it was the only one he could reach. Spruce's bed was above his and John's was above Clay's.

- Clay? He shook his shoulder, Clay wake up!!

- Hmm, what? Clay's eyes opened, Floyd, what are you doing?

- Branch is crying !! He revealed.

- Huh??

Just a few seconds and both brothers were next to Branch's bed, worried. Clay had been smart enough to place books under their feet so they could see the baby better.

- I don't know what to do he won't stop ! Clay told Floyd, why is he bawling like that??

- I don't know ! I woke up and he was already crying !!

- We need Spruce and John, they will know what to do !!

Clay ran to John's bed ladder and climbed it. He pulled on John's hair to wake him up;

- OUCH!! Bro, why??? He glared at Clay that was already going to pull on Spruce's hair, What's going on??

- Branch is crying!! Floyd explained.

- Wait, what ?? Spruce had been woke up too, shocked.

Now that the 4 of them were around the baby bed, they were all discussing and trying to find a solution; Branch rarely cried this bad at night!!

- Did he lost his pacifer ?? Spruce proposed.

- I tried, he does not want it ! Clay told them.

- How do we calm him down?? Floyd asked

- We could abandon him for 24 years and then come back like nothing happened because Floyd got kidnap by two giant homophobic dolls, John Dory randomly predicted the future.

- What did you say? Spruce got confused

- I don't even know, let me get him out of there, his bed looks like a prison !!

He pushed the baby bed's door down and took Branch out of there. Immediately the poor trembling thing wrapped his arms around his oldest brother, sucking on his thumb.

- There you go, I love you too Branch! John Dory gladly hugged the baby that finally stopped crying.

- I think he wanted us, Clay said.

- Yeah; the thunder probably scared him, Spruce realized.

- How do we rassure him all night now ?? Floyd grew concerned.

- I think I got an idea... John smirked.

....

The morning rised on trolls village, and Rosiepuff was surprised to notice she hadnt been wake up by screaming and running around the pod.

Worried she went to the boy's bedroom... only to find the cutest show to exist.

The brothers had, all by themselves, pulled Floyd and Clay's matress in the middle of the room. Everyone had brought their blankets and pillows and apparently party and dance here before falling asleep from exhaustion. She smiled seeing Branch in the middle of the group; yep. They did had someone to connect them all together, the best brother.
