Pretty soon, John dory, clay,bruce, branch and Floyd were on their way to chez Dantes.

John dory,clay and Bruce were chatting with each other.

Floyd on the other hand was quiet as he walked. Branch glanced back and frowned, was Floyd doing ok? Taking a deep breath branch walked over to Floyd and gently touched Floyd on his shoulder.

Floyd gasped in surprise and looked up, he relaxed a bit seeing it was branch.

"Floyd,are...are you alright? You've been quiet ever since we left the bunker."

Floyd nodded. "I'm fine branch. Please don't worry about me."

Branch looked at floyd not convinced but not wanting to make Floyd feel like he was obligated to tell him what was going on right away. But... he could tell something was wrong. But what was it? Was Floyd still tired? He did have that nightmare late at night.

Branch noticed they were approaching chez Dantes. Maybe after breakfast Floyd would feel comfortable enough to talk about what was going on?

Pretty soon they had arrived at chez Dantes where they were greeted

By poppy and viva.

Poppy hugged each of the brothers and greeted branch with a kiss.

Branch smiled. "Morning poppy. You sleep ok?"

"I had the best sleep branch. How about you and your brothers?"

Branch froze 'what should we say' he thought. 'If we tell poppy we woke up to Floyd having a bad dream. Poppy will ask what his dream was about and I don't want Floyd to feel pressured to tell us what's bothering him, unless he feels ready.

"Floyd? Floyd are you alright?" Branch glanced at Floyd who blinked a bit sleepily.

"Huh?" Floyd looked confused and rubbed his eyes. Had he dozed off for a second..

"You look a bit tired." Viva said.

Branch's eyes widened in fear. Oh no. Poppy and viva were going to catch onto the fact Floyd had a nightmare. What should he do?

"He's fine." A voice said. Branch looked around before he realized that it was him who had spoken. "He's still waking up. Just needs a little coffee and he will be feeling better. Right floyd?"

Floyd looked over at branch before he gently smiled and nodded. "Yeah. I'm just...still waking up."

Poppy gently smiled. "Come on. Let's get inside so we can eat."

As the walked to their table. Bruce looked around in awe. "Wow this place looks really fancy."

"Wait til you try the breakfast specials bruce." Branch smiled. "I actually had breakfast here. Their breakfasts are amazing and the coffee is incredible."

Pretty soon their breakfast was placed in front of them. Poppy got the chocolate chip pancakes with whipped cream. Viva got some waffles with syrup, whipped cream and strawberries.

Clay got some French toast with a side order of fried eggs.

John dory got eggs and sausages.

Bruce got some toast,fried eggs and bacon.

Branch got toast, and scrambled eggs.

Floyd looked at his breakfast he got muffins with strawberries and chocolate chips.

Everyone began to eat their breakfast, well everyone except floyd. Well floyd did try to eat but... he just didn't have any appetite.

Branch noticed this and whispered. "Floyd. What's wrong?are the muffins to hot?"

Floyd shook his head. "I'm just not feeling hungry."

Branch looked worriedly. Uh oh. Poppy noticed.

"Floyd is everything alright?"

Floyd sighed. "I'm sorry i.... I'm just... I don't really feel hungry..."

Viva reached over to feel Floyd's forehead which startled Floyd.

"Well,he's not running a fever." Viva said.

"Floyd, did anything happen last night?" Poppy asked worriedly.

"You mean besides the fact he woke up screaming from a nightmare last night?" John Dory asked without thinking.

"JOHN!" Bruce,clay and branch yelled.

"What?" John Dory asked then realized what he had said and realized his mistake. Why dud he always act without thinking?

"Floyd, you had a nightmare last night?" Poppy asked.

Floyd looked down. Wishing to disappear.

"Yeah he had a nightmare about velvet and..."

John dory again spoke without thinking.

"JOHN DORY!!" his brothers yelled.

John dory covered his mouth and groaned. He did it again. He spoke without thinking.

Floyd looked away. "Floyd,I I'm sorry bro. I wasn't thinking. Oh man I'm sorry." John dory stammered. What should he do? How can he make this right.

"It's fine. They were gonna find out anyways." Floyd mumbled.

Poppy gently walked to floyd. "Do you want to talk about it?" She asked.

Floyd shook his head. He didn't want to talk about it.

"Is the nightmare why you can't eat breakfast?" Viva asked.

"I guess." Floyd said.

"Well sometimes after I talk to clay about a nightmare. I feel a lot better. So maybe if you talk to us about it it will help you feel better and..."

"I don't want to talk about it. " Floyd said gripping the tablecloth with his hands.

That wasn't good. Floyd was trying to stay calm. But his emotions were bubbling up inside him. He wanted to tell them but he felt..he didn't deserve any help.

"Please Floyd I promise we won't judge you or..."

That did it Floyd couldn't stop it he yelled. "I SAID I DONT WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT POPPY!"

Floyd covered his mouth with his hands he backed away.

"I I'm sorry... I didn't mean too...i..." was everyone staring at him.. he had to get out of there. Floyd ran out of chez Dantes as fast as he could.

He ran fast as he could. He couldn't brleive he had just yelled at his brother's girlfriend. He tripped on a stone and fell. He sniffled, and unable to stop the tears let them fall. He sobbed burying his face in his arms.

Floyd felt a hand touch him and tensed up.

"Oh Floyd. I'm so sorry." Poppys voice said.

Floyd looked up and sniffled wiping his eyes.

"I'm I'm sorry.." he sniffled.

"No, I'm sorry floyd. I shouldn't have asked you to tell us when you weren't ready to."

"I shouldn't have yelled. I just... I don't feel that I can talk to my brothers about what's going on. I feel as if... I'm all alone and.... Poppy I'm I'm scared."

"What are you afraid of floyd" a voice asked and Floyd and poppy saw it was branch, clay, viva, bruce and John dorydory.

"Floyd, I'm sorry this is all my fault.".

John dory said. Looking down and feeling guilty about blurting out Floyd's nightmare.

"It's ok John dory. I've been bottling up some emotions. And I've been too afraid to talk about them."

"Floyd were your brothers you can talk to us about anything you are feeling and we will listen and do our best to help you." Bruce said.

Floyd took a deep breath. "I've been worried about.. what if she does escape prison,she will search everywhere for us and..."

"Floyd. That won't happen." Clay replied. " I doubt they would let Velvet escape plus. I doubt she knows where trollstopia is or where any of our homes and former homes are. We are perfectly safe."

"But if I'm safe, why do I feel stressed why am I still scared? I want to feel safe but.. perhaps I deserve feeling this way because I didn't come back to the troll tree..."

Floyd immediately was enveloped by hugs from his brothers.

"Floyd, listen to me you do not deserve to have any of this happen to you. I'm certain you have a good reason for not returning soon like you promise. And I do want to know but... I don't want you to feel forced to tell us until you are ready to. But know this whatever that reason was, know this I will never hate you big brother."

Floyd hugged branch he felt calmer and much more relaxed. His stomach growled.

" Branch smiled let's hurry back to chez Dantes, hopefully our breakfast is stil warm.

Once they arrived at chez Dantes Floyd found his muffins were still warm and found that his appetite had returned. He began to eat his muffins hungrily.

"Floyd slow down." John dory cautioned."you're going to get the hiccups."

"Sorry. I'm just... my appetite came back. Talking to you guys about what was going on actually helped."

Floyd continued to devour his muffins.

"Poor Floyd." Bruce sighed . "He really doesn't deserve to have that nightmare or these negative emotions he's been feeling. I wish..I wish there was something we could do to help him out."

"Yeah I know. But I think Floyd just needs to find a chance to relax. To be able to calm down."

"That or find a way to make his fears go on a permanent vacation. John dory said."

Vacation? Bruce gasped. Then whispered. "John dory you are a genius."

John dory blinked. "I am?"

"He is?" Clay asked.

"Vacation. That's how we can help Floyd. We can take Floyd to spend the weekend at vacay island. The place is perfect. It's relaxing, has fun activities. I'm positive that by the end of the weekend Floyd will be so relaxed he won't be so worried that his nightmares won't ever come back."

"That's actually sounding like a good idea bruce."

John dory smiled.

"What is?" Floyd asked curiously.

Bruce smiled. " how would you like to go to vacay island with me and our brothers and poppy and viva? We can stay there for the weekend. I have a feeling that a weekend at vacay island will get rid of your nightmares.

Floyd looked thoughtful. "Well... alright. I guess I could use a little vacation."

Poppy squealed " cone on viva. We gotta pack." She said as the 2 sisters ran off excitedly to get ready for their trip to vacay island
