~Outside~

Branch crossed his arms, scrunched his face, and grumbled as he walked alongside his brothers through Troll Forest to get to the playground. He did not want to go to the playground. He would rather stay in his bunker than be out in public where every Troll could see him, especially when he's still wearing a diaper, looking like a baby as an adult.

He also did not want to grab any attention from anyone who would know him, including those who annoyed him or those who would definitely laugh at him.

Then out of the blue, John Dory started to sing.

🎶 Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes 🎶

🎶 Turn and face the strange 🎶

🎶 Ch-ch-changes 🎶

Clay sang too.

🎶 Don't want to be a richer one 🎶

Bruce and Floyd joined in the song, except for Branch.

🎶 Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes 🎶

🎶 Turn and face the strange 🎶

🎶 Ch-ch-changes 🎶

Bruce looked at himself in the hand mirror that he brought with him, singing.

🎶 Just gonna have to be a different man 🎶

John Dory jumped in front of him, singing.

🎶Time may change me 🎶

🎶 But I can't trace time 🎶

The brothers continued to walk as they got attention from other Trolls. Branch covered one side of his face with one hand, walking at a fast pace, hiding behind Floyd. Trolls gazed at the brothers in excitement. John Dory winked, Bruce smiled in a charming way, Clay waved, and Floyd let out a nervous smile. Soon, Trolls had their eyes on Branch. Some giggled, some laughed but most of them squealed and waved at him. He groaned and awkwardly waved at them back.

Floyd sang in a soft way.

🎶 Still don't know what I was lookin for 🎶

🎶 And my time was running wild 🎶

🎶 A million dead-end streets 🎶

Branch ended up singing too.

🎶 Every time I thought I'd got it made 🎶

🎶 It seemed the taste was not so sweet 🎶

BroZone sung, walking in unison.

🎶 Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes 🎶

🎶 Turn and face the strange 🎶

🎶 Ch-ch-changes 🎶

They walked towards a huge puddle to look at their reflection, except their reflection was their younger version of themselves.

With an angelic voice, Branch sang out loud.

🎶 Don't want to be a richer one 🎶

BroZone sang in harmony, walking pass the puddle.

🎶 Time may change me 🎶

🎶 But I can't trace time 🎶

The BroZone brothers finished their song with a pose. The Trolls clapped and cheered for them. They took a bow, signed a few autographs, and did some selfies. For a moment, Branch had totally forgotten about looking like a baby and was enjoying himself, being with his brothers. Afterwards, the brothers continued to walk to the playground, where Branch returned to being aware of looking like a baby.

~At the Playground~

"Here we are," John Dory said.

"Are you ready to have some fun and play with the little ones?" Bruce said.

Branch scowled. "No."

"Aww, Bitty B's shy?" Clay asked and squeezed Branch's face.

"Noooo....it's more like this is totally humiliating," Branch said.

"I totally get it," Floyd whispered to Branch. "I feel so sorry for you."

Branch smiled at his caring, sensitive brother. "Well, at least you understand. But could you at least tell our other brothers to....."

The sudden crawling, tingly feeling came back to Branch as he instinctively used his right hand to grab some Troll's hand with a tight grip, knowing exactly whose hand it was.

"BRUCE! QUIT THAT!!" Branch said, facing his 2nd oldest brother who had a cheeky smile on his face.

"It's Sprucey, Bitty B. Spru-cey," Bruce corrected him.

"Seriously? Bruce, we're out in public. Plus you shouldn't be doing that anyways," Floyd said. "No touchy, remember?"

"What? Got to check-check," Bruce said.

"Ugh, how long are we going to be here?" Branch grumbled.

John Dory looked at his wrist as if he was wearing a watch. "One hour at the playground. One hour of lunch. 2 hours?"

"Fine. I'm just going to go to the sandbox and just..."

"Ooohhhhh, wait a minute. Wait just a minute. Hold up." A tiny Troll rode his tricycle towards them. Tiny Diamond greeted everyone with a hello. Branch's brothers greeted Tiny who gave them each a fist bump. When he pedaled to Branch, he smiled.

"Oh wow. You're a baby now?" Tiny asked.

"Oh. What? Oh. They did it," Branch said, pointing at John Dory, Clay, and Bruce.

"Really? Is that so?" Tiny said.

"Yeah, man," Branch admitted. "They've been treating me like a baby all day."

"Ooh, tell me about it," Tiny said.

"Branchifur!"

Branch faced ahead of him to find his girlfriend Poppy, the Queen of Pop Village, running towards them.

"Poppy!" Clay, Floyd, Bruce, and John Dory said in unison. Poppy came over and hugged them all.

"Hey, guys!" Viva popped from behind them and jumped on top of Clay. "BROCCOLI BABE!!"

Clay laughed and hugged her on the ground. "Hey, babe!"

Bruce leaned towards them. "Oooooo, Cliva! Kiss, kiss!"

Clay moved Bruce's face away from him. "Ha, ha, very funny."

When Poppy came towards Branch, she stared at him from head to toe, blushed and smiled at him. Branch blushed and smiled too as the two of them hugged.

"AAAHHHHHH!!! Look at you! You look so cute! I love it! Aww, cutie, cutie, cutie!" Poppy said.

Branch let out an embarrassed smile while still blushing. Poppy rubbed his right cheek. Seeing this got Bruce, John Dory, and Clay to cuddle and talk to Branch in a babyish way while Floyd stood there in surprise. He then came to hug Branch as a way to comfort him from feeling less embarrassed.

"So, what brings you to the playground?" John Dory asked Poppy.

"Oh, me and Viva were taking Tiny Diamond to the playground," she replied. "You guys?"

"Taking our baby brother to the playground," Clay said, pointing at Branch.

"Look, Poppy, I'm sorry. I know that we were supposed to go on a date, but no, my plans got thrown off." Branch eyed at John Dory, Clay, and Bruce.

Floyd crossed his arms, slowly shaking his head at John Dory, Clay, and Bruce. John Dory and Clay had a guilty look on their faces while Bruce laughed in a nervous way, twirling one of his purple bangs.

"Aww, it's okay. I know, let's have a playdate instead," Poppy suggested.

"A playdate?" Branch questioned.

"Yeah! Come on, let's go have some fun, Branchifur."

Poppy held out her hand. At first, Branch hesitated, but he couldn't help but smile at his girlfriend. He eventually went along with this "playdate" idea.

"Aww, his first playdate," Clay said.

"We got to get a picture," John Dory said.

"Got it," Bruce said, holding out his phone.

Poppy let out a bright smile while Branch let out an embarrassing smile at the camera. Afterwards, the two of them held hands and skipped together towards the playground.

~A Few Minutes Later~

"Come on, Branch, crawl to me. You can do it," Poppy said, smiling.

Branch looked around to see if his brothers were. Clay and Bruce were playing tag with Viva, Tiny and some little Troll kids, Floyd was swinging on the swings, and John Dory was on the monkey bars...trying to get down, calling for help sarcastically.

Branch chuckled at them as he finally got the courage to crawl towards his girlfriend. She  "tried" to pick him up and they both fell down, laughing.

Poppy cheered. "Yaaaaaay, Bitty B! Having fun?"

Branch nodded. Branch had to admit it: He didn't mind being a baby for Poppy and only for her because not only was she his girlfriend, but also she still treated him for who he is, just like Floyd, though he kind of liked it when she talked to him in a babyish way. He also didn't mind when she cuddled him and rubbed his cheek. Overall, he was having a good time with her.

They slid on many slides, they played Hide-and-Seek, they built sandcastle in the sandbox, and swung on the swings, doing things that he wished that he could've done more during his childhood, especially when he was a baby.

After spending a great time at the playground, Branch, his brothers, Poppy, Viva, and Tiny Diamond laid on the grass, looking at clouds in the sky, trying to imagine what each cloud looked like.

Branch smiled at Poppy. She smiled at him and he did too. They moved closer to each other. Expecting them to kiss, Branch leaned towards her lips and she leaned towards his lips. However, she put her lips on his right cheek, blowing at it, making Branch let out a cute giggle but soon got interrupted as his tummy growled.

"Awwwwww, sounds like someone's hungry," Poppy said.

"I am," John Dory said, rubbing his own stomach. "What about you guys?"

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

"Hungry," Branch said in a babyish way, rubbing his stomach, making a pouty face.

Branch's response shocked not only himself but also the others, especially his brothers who looked at each other and back at him.

Another shocking thing that Branch did was when he crawled towards Bruce, saying "hungry" in a babyish way multiple times, giving him the puppy eyes. Floyd stood there in shock.

Bruce blinked at him in shock but then he smiled. "Okay, Bitty B. Let's go ahead and get you something to eat."

"Lunch nom nom," Branch said.
