~The Next Morning~

As The New Day Rose Upon The TrollTree And The Rosiepuff Pod, Grandma Rosiepuff Was Already Up And Working Some More On Her New Novel, Completely Unaware Of Her Runaway Grandsons.

Opening Up Her Novel, Grandma Rosiepuff Had In Mind From The Meeting With The Publisher Yesterday Of What To Write About, But Was Hesitant To Write About Her Grandsons Being Considered "Antagonists" In Her Story.

"C'mon C'mon C'mon C'mon Words! Word Up My Brain I'm Trying To Write Here! Ummm...Uhhh..."
Grandma Rosiepuff Told To Herself, Still Hesitant To Write.

The More Grandma Rosiepuff Could Hesitate Some More, She Tried Looking Around Her Living Room For Some Motivation, Until She Stumbled Upon A Photo On The Wall Of Her Grandsons, Looking All Happy In The Photograph.

Grandma Rosiepuff Sighed To Herself.
"Maybe I Can Use The Ol' Writers Block Excuse.."

Getting Up From The Couch To Get Fix Herself Some Morning Coffee, Grandma Rosiepuff Was Then Stopped By A Knock On The Door.

As Grandma Rosiepuff Opened Up The Door, It Was The Publisher, R.T. Plumegrass, And His Glowbug Assistant, Edward, Checking In On The Progress Of The New Novel.

"Ahhh! Ms. Rosiepuff! Top Of The Morning To Ya!"
R.T. Plumegrass Shook Grandma Rosiepuff's Hand.

"Oh! Hi Mr. Plumegrass"
Grandma Rosiepuff Shook His Hand Back.

"C'mon Now, Remember Call Me R.T. Or Rufus For Short If You Please"
R.T. Plumegrass Said As He Walked In.

"Uhhh Sure! What Brings You Here?"
Grandma Rosiepuff Said As She Shut The Door.

"Well I Was Actually Coming To Check In On Your Progress Of Your New Novel Entry As Well As Show You Something I Think You'd Like! EDWARD! 👏"
R.T Plumegrass Clapped His Hands For His Assistant.

Flying Over To Grandma Rosiepuff, Edward Handed Her 5 Different Posters Of Each Of The BroZone Brothers, Designed As Mischievous Antagonists, To Advertise The New Novel.

"Oh Wow Ummm, More Of The Boys Looking....Evil?"
Grandma Rosiepuff Raised Her Eyebrow As She Flipped Through Each Poster.

"Let's Not Call It Evil Persaaaaay....Let's Call It More Of Mischief Makers! Our Advertising Team Thought It Would Be The Perfect Edge To Get People Really To Be Invested In Reading Your Novel!"
R.T Plumegrass Explained.

"Well-"
Grandma Rosiepuff Said, Doubtful Of That.

"Just Think About It! The Boyband Phenomenon Of BroZone, As The Troubled Pentagon....Causing Mischief To One's Grandmother And Go Through Her Journey Of Chaos By One's Bad Antagonists Of Grandsons! Amrite Edward??"
R.T Plumegrass Said.

"Well According To Our Data Sir, Audiences Love A Good Twist On Celebrities Lives"
Edward Said, Holding Up A Chart Of Audience Data.

"Ya See! An Audience Chart Never Lies!"
R.T. Plumegrass Gestured.

Grandma Rosiepuff Gave Back The Posters To Edward.
"That All Sounds Very....Interesting But I Don't Know If The Boys Would Be Comfortable Being Advertised As...Mischief Makers? It's Bad Enough They Got Kicked Out Of School Yesterday, I Wouldn't Want To Add THAT Layer Onto Their Behavior"

"Proving My Point More Ms. Rosiepuff! If These Boys Are Truly The Mischief Makers As You Say They Are, It'll Make Audiences MUCH More Intrigued To Read!"
R.T. Plumegrass Said.

"NONONONO Heh, That's Not What I Meant To Put It As! I'm Just Saying....Ugh, I'm Having A Hard Enough Time To Even Write A Novel Of My Boys As Quote On Quote Antagonists"
Grandma Rosiepuff Said, Using Air Quotes.

"That's Another Reason Why We're Here! Me And My Team Thought Of The PERFECT First Story For The Troubled Pentagon! To Really Give It That Edgy And Drama Audiences Love!"
R.T Plumegrass Said.

"What Kind Of Story?"
Grandma Rosiepuff Questioned.

"A Runaway Story!"
R.T Plumegrass Told To Her.

"A Runaway Story??? You Want Me To Write About My Grandsons Running Away?"
Grandma Rosiepuff Said.

"My Team Thought It Would Be A Intriguing Tale To Tell That Involves All Kinds Of Twists And Turns For The Boys To Deal With, As You As Their Guardian! Just Think....The Boyband Of BroZone Runs Away From Their Troubles And The Struggling Grandmother Must Find Them And Undo All Their Upcoming Runaway Mischief! Eh? Eh?"
R.T. Plumegrass Smirked As He Nudged Grandma Rosiepuff's Arm.

"Hm...I Just Don't Know. I Never Written Anything That Bad Of My Grandsons Before. Besides, All My Novel Entries I Wrote About Them Are Things That Actually Happened! Not Made Up"
Grandma Rosiepuff Said.

"I Understand, And That's Why We'll Promote It As A True Story Even If It Didn't Actually Happen! That's What Brings In The Readers"
R.T. Plumegrass Said.

"And It's On The Data"
Edward Gestured To The Data Chart Again.

"See! Who Argues With The Data?"
R.T. Plumegrass Said.

"But Mr. Plumegrass- I Mean Rufus Sir! I Don't Write Fiction, I Write Real. And Writing A Fake Story Of My Grandsons Running Away With Trouble Would NEVER Happen"
Grandma Rosiepuff Said.

"Well Do You Mind If I Ask The Boys Myself If That Would Ever Happen?"
R.T. Plumegrass Asked.

"Sorry Sir But No, The Boys Are Grounded And Locked In Their Room For Now. Gotta Lay Down The Law On Them Ya Know! Heh Heh. Grandparenting Stuff"
Grandma Rosiepuff Chuckled.

"From The Stuff Of Bad Things They've Done?"
R.T. Plumegrass Raised His Eyebrow.

Grandma Rosiepuff Sighed To Herself.
"Sir, Not Everything I Wrote Of My Grandsons Is Considered Bad Things"

"Is That So?"
R.T. Plumegrass Said.

"Yes! See Here Look At My Entries From The Past Few Weeks!"
Grandma Rosiepuff Handed Her Novel To R.T. Plumegrass.

R.T. Plumegrass Flipped Through Some Of The Novel Entries.
"Hmm...This One Here Reads On How You Grandsons Lit Your Dinner Table On Fire After Their Principal And Teacher Came Over To Your Pod To Discuss Their....Binky Addiction?"

Edward Shook His Head.
"Tsk Tsk, Sounds Like Trouble To Me"

"Ummmm LOOK AT THIS ONE! Right Here!"
Grandma Rosiepuff Quickly Flipped The Page.

"Now This One Reads On How Their School Haircoming Dance Was Flooded By An Exploding Dynamite One Of Their Friends Lit Off"
R.T. Plumegrass Said.

"Tsk Tsk, Even Hanging Around Bad Influences.."
Edward Blurted Out.

Grandma Rosiepuff Snatched Her Novel And Tried Flipping To A Different Entry.
"UM UM UM THERE'S GOTTA BE A NORMAL ONE IN HERE"

R.T. Plumegrass Headed To The Door.
"Listen Ms. Rosiepuff, You're An Inspiring Author And You Have An Incredible Future Ahead With This Novel So I Know You'll Write The Right Choice! Keep Up The Good Brainwork!"

As R.T. Plumegrass And Edward Left The Pod, Grandma Rosiepuff Gave Up Trying To Find A Non-Troubled Entry She Wrote About Her Grandsons And Got Even More Writers Block.

Heading Upstairs To The Door Of The Brothers Bedroom, Grandma Rosiepuff Had It In Her Heart To Check On The Boys, But Hesitated To Knock On The Door.

Thinking The Brothers Were Probably Still Upset Over Being Grounded, Grandma Rosiepuff Thought It Was Best To Leave Them Be For A While, Still Thinking They're Locked Inside Their Room.

~~~

~Out In The Forest~

After Their Choice Of Running Away From Home, The Brothers Spent The Whole Night In The Empty Forest, And As The New Day Rose Up, The Runaway Brothers Spent Their Morning Singing A Depressing Song.

🎵 Where is the moment
we needed the most? 🎵

🎵 You kick up the leaves
and the magic is lost.. 🎵

🎵 They tell me your
blue skies fade to grey.. 🎵

🎵 They tell me your
passion's gone away.. 🎵

🎵 And I don't need
no carryin' onnnn.. 🎵

Baby Branch Was Leading Their Acapella Song, Laying On The Ground.
🎵 Cause you had a bad day! 🎵

🎵 You're taking one down! 🎵

🎵 You sing a sad song
just to turn it around! 🎵

🎵 You say you don't know.. 🎵
Spruce Sung Out Loud, With His Hand Over His Head.

🎵 You tell me don't lie.. 🎵
Clay Sung With His Face In The Ground, Sounding Like He's Muffling.

🎵 You work at a smile
and you go for a rideeee.. 🎵
Floyd Sang, Trying To Make His Face Smile But Couldn't.

🎵 You had a bad day,
You've seen what you like! 🎵
John Dory Sung As He Made A Beat On The Hard Dirt.

🎵 And how does it feel
for one more time? 🎵

🎵 You had a bad day.. 🎵

🎵 You had a
bad daaaaaaaaaaaay! 🎵
The Brothers Finished Their Depressing Song In Depressing Harmony.

Clay Rose His Face From The Dirt.
"Okay I Can't Take Anymore Of This! WE'VE SUNG 78 DIFFERENT DEPRESSING SONGS ALL NIGHT-"

"Well What Other Choice Do We Have To Live For Clay??? We Ran Away From Home! The Only Concerts We Can Have Are To This Empty Forest!"
John Dory Said.

Floyd Hugged His Knees And Rocked Himself.
"I Can't Believe It....We Ran Away From Home....WE'RE RUNAWAYS!"

"And Bad Kids As Everyone Else Said.."
Baby Branch Said With His Ears Drooped Down.

"Do You Really Think Running Away Was The Best Option John? I Mean Maybe We Overreacted"
Spruce Shrugged To Himself.

John Dory Stood Up.
"Overreacted??? No Way! Bro's, Everyone Called Us Pretty Much Bad Kids To Their Lives! I Mean Who Are We Kidding- Our School, Our Friends, That Publisher Guy, Even Grandma! They All Think We're Nothing But Trouble! There Was No Point In Staying In A Home Where People See Us As Nothing Else.."

"I Guess John Is Right. I Wouldn't Wanna Stay In A Place Where People Call Me Bad. I Rather Safety Nerd Or Branchifer! Oo, I Like Those Names!"
Baby Branch Thought To Himself.

"Okay But John, We Have No Home Now! What Do We Do?? Just Walk Across The Earth On A World Tour For The Rest Of Our Lives?!"
Spruce Said.

"SUCK IT UP SPRUCE! Look, We're All Just Gonna Have To Accept The Fact That This Is Our New Life Now! That Means No More TrollTree, No More School, No More Bedroom, No More Rhonda.."
John Dory Listed, Already Thinking And Missing His Armadillo Pet.

"No More Makeup, No More Princess Dress Up Games, No More Fawn, Or Dora, Or Claire, Or Boo, OR SIDNEY!"
Floyd Listed Off.

"I Could Live With That Last One"
Spruce Blurted Out.

"SPRUCE!"
Floyd Gently Shoved His Brother.

"FINEEEE, I Guess I'll Miss Sidney....Toooo An Extent"
Spruce Said.

"No More BroZone.."
Baby Branch Blurted Out, Thinking About Never Being In The Band Again.

"Yeah...That Too...But It's A Noble Sacrifice Guys. For Our Identities!"
John Dory Said.

"But John, Everything We Just Said IS Part Of Our Identity. Even Grandma!"
Baby Branch Said.

"I Know But...If Everyone Back Home Thinks Us Causing Trouble Oversees That, Then We're Better Off Away.."
John Dory Said As He Sat Back Down.

"Well, On The Upside, At Least We're All Still Together!"
Floyd Said, Trying To Be Positive.

Baby Branch Looked At The Wattpad Readers.
"Yay? 🤨"

"I MEAN YAY! 😄"
Baby Branch Reacted Happily To Floyd's Statement.

"Yeah, Good Point Floyd! And Plus Since We're Runaways, All That Running Is Good For Your Buns And Thighs! How's Mine Look??"
Spruce Stood Up And Flexed His Butt And His Hefty Thighs.

Floyd Tried To Look Away From His Brother's Ass.
"Uhhhh....Sturdy?"

"YES!"
Spruce Cheered To Himself.

"And That Means No More Rules! Our Chaos Can Run Wild And Free As We Please!"
John Dory Added On.

"CHAOS FOREVERRRR!"
Floyd Shouted With His Hands Up High.

"CHAOS FOREVERRRRR!!! 🗣‼️ 🔥"
John Dory, Spruce, Floyd, And Baby Branch Screamed Together In Sync.

"And We Owe It All To You John!"
Baby Branch Said With A Grin.

"Pffft, What Are You Talking About? The Credit Goes To You Guys! If You Didn't Interfere With The Science Fair, We Wouldn't Be Here"
John Dory Replied.

"Oh Yeahhhh! So Most Of That Credit Goes To Clay! YAY CLAY FOR BLOWING UP THE SCIENCE FAIR!"
Floyd Shouted For His Brother.

"Hm? Oh Yeah Mmh! Mmh!"
Clay Was Busy Doing Something With His Back Turned, Looking Like He Was Chewing.

John Dory Noticed Something.
"Wait A Minute- CLAY ARE YOU CHEWING??"

"HUH? MMH! MMH! MMH!"
Clay Quickly Shook His Head, Still Munching On Something.

"You're Eating Something! -.-"
Floyd Glared At His Brother.

"YOU BASTARD- YOU HAVE FOOD?!?"
Spruce Said.

"UHHH I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT-"
Clay Refused To Turn Around.

Spruce Went To Grab Whatever Clay Was Eating.
"GIMMIE WHATEVER YOU'RE- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

Snatching It From Clay, Turns Out Clay Was Eating Spruce's Beautiful Purple Hair The Entire Time The Brothers Were Talking, Leaving A Huge Dent In Spruce's Hair.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Spruce Remained Screaming Out Loud, Holding His Munched On Hair.

"OH GOD OH GOD EW"
John Dory And Floyd Looked Away In Disgust, Covering Their Eyes.

"CLAY.....YOU'VE BEEN EATING MY HAIR?!?!?!?!?"
Spruce Said Loudly.

"See Now This Is Why I Didn't Wanna Say Anything- I Knew You Were Gonna Get Like This"
Clay Replied Casually.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!??!?!?"
Spruce Yelled Again.

"Look Spruce I-"
Clay Said.

"YOU'VE BEEN EATING ME!!!!!!"
Spruce Yelled Even Louder.

"Okay Let's Just Agree To Disagree, I've Been Eating Your Hair, Not Your Skin 🤨"
Clay Said.

"Plus Spruce, You're A Troll. You Can Just Grow It Back .____."
Floyd Reminded His Brother.

"......Oh Yeah"
Spruce Put His Hand On His Nose And Blew Into It, Making His Hair Grow Back Immediately.

Floyd Sighed To Himself.
"Well If We All Don't Eat Or Drink Something, We're All Gonna-"

John Dory's Ear Twitched As He Heard A Swallowing Sound.
"Wait Hold On...Branch? What Are You Doing?"

Baby Branch Turned Around And Wiped His Mouth Quickly.
"What Do You Mean? 😶"

"Why Was Your Back Turned And Faced Down Into Your Runaway Scarf?"
John Dory Said, Starting To Stand Up.

"U-Um...It's....C-Cold In The Scarf..?"
Baby Branch Replied Nervously.

"I Heard You Swallow -.-"
John Dory Said, Getting Suspicious.

"...."
Baby Branch Didn't Know How To Respond To That, Looking Guilty In The Face.

"....Gimme The Scaf....GIMME THE SCARF!!!!"
John Dory Shouted As He Went To Tackle His Baby Brother.

"H I S S S S A A A A ~ 🐍👹"
Baby Branch Hissed Like A Demon Snake At His Older Brother.

Tackling And Fighting Each Other, John Dory Tried To Grab The Runaway Scarf From His Brother As Baby Branch Refused To Let Him Take It, Pulling It Back N Forth.

"GIMME THE SCAF GIMME THE SCARF YOU GUILTY SON OF A BINKY! NO YOU FREAKY MOTHERSQUARING SHAPE OF MAN BREATH NO NO NO!!!"
John Dory And Baby Branch Yelled All At Once Over Each Other As They Fought.

"....."
Spruce, Clay, And Floyd Casually Watched This As They Moved Their Heads Side To Side Watching John Dory And Baby Branch Tug-A-War.

John Dory Successfully Snatched The Scarf And Unveiled A Bottle Of Milk.
"AH HAAAAA!!!! MILK....HE HAS MILK!!"

"GIVE IT BACK!!! 👹"
Baby Branch Used His Demon Deep Voice.

"YOU HAD MILK....THIS ENTIRE TIME...AND DIDN'T SHARE WITH THE REST OF US?!?!?!?"
John Dory Said.

"ᵇᵘᵗ ᶦᶠ ᶦ ˢʰᵃʳᵉᵈ ᶦᵗ, ᵗʰᵉʳᵉ ʷᵒᵘˡᵈⁿ'ᵗ ᵇᵉ ᵉⁿᵒᵘᵍʰ ᶠᵒʳ ᵐᵉ 🥺"
Baby Branch Said, Using His Cutesey Baby Voice For Sympathy.

"DON'T USE THAT BABY SHIT ON US"
Spruce Shouted At His Baby Brother.

"THEN GIVE ME MY BABY SHIT BACK!!! 👹"
Baby Branch Used His Demon Baby Voice Again.

Floyd Glanced At The Almost Empty Baby Bottle.
"There's Barely Enough For Us To Share!"

"I WANT IT!"
Clay Tried To Reach For The Bottle.

"NO! We Will Share It....One Tongue Dip Each.."
John Dory Told His Brothers.

Baby Branch Sighed To Himself.
"Okay Fine, We'll Share It.."

"YOU GET NOTHING! 🫵"
John Dory Pointed At Baby Branch With A Fierce Tone.

Baby Branch Faced The Wattpad Readers.
"And I'd Be In The Wrong Of I Have A Baby Crash Out Tantrum 😒....Yes I Can Say The Phrase Crash Out, Even If It Is In The 90's In This Book, I'm The Narrator! ✋️"

Taking The Bottle Nipple Off, John Dory Poured The Little Sip Left Into The Nipple Cap For Each Of The Brothers To Share Equally.

"Okay, Everyone Gets ONE, I Repeat, ONE Tongue Dip, No Sipping!"
John Dory Instructed His Brothers.

"Got It"
The Brothers Nodded And Understood.

John Dory Went First As He Brought The Nipple Top To His Mouth And Dipped His Tongue In It Once, Staying To The Rules.

"So Refreshing.."
John Dory Said As He Handed The Nipple Top To Spruce.

Spruce Took The Nipple Top And Dipped His Tongue In It.
"So Good.."

Handing It Over, Clay Took The Nipple Top And Went To Dip His Tongue In It As Well, And After Tasting It's Refreshing Goodness...Clay Shoved The Whole Thing In His Mouth.

"NOOOOOOO!!!! SPIT IT OUT! GET IT OUT! STOP STOP CLAY NO NO!!"
The Brothers Tackled Clay To Try To Get The Nipple Top Out Of His Mouth.

Spruce Got The Nipple Top Out Of Clay's Mouth And Threw It.
"UGH! IT'S EMPTY!"

"WELL I'M SORRY!!! I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF!!! WE'RE LOST AND HAVE NOTHING TO EAT OR DRINK AND I'M NEVER GONNA READ A JAMES FROND COMIC BOOK OR SAD BOOK AGAIN!!! AND I'LL NEVER SEE CLAIRE AGAIN!!!!! WAAAAAHHHHHH!!! 😖"
Clay Faceplanted Into The Ground And Sobbed Weirdly And Uncontrollably.

Floyd Sat Beside His Brother And Rubbed His Back.
"Aweee Claaaay....But He's Right. Without Food Or Anything, We're Doomed.."

"I Don't Know About You Guys, But That Milk Has Me Stuffed"
Baby Branch Patted His Chubby Tummy.

"Keep Talking And I'll Stuff A Foot Up Your Ass -.-"
Spruce Threatened His Baby Brother.

"....Oh My God 😟"
Baby Branch Said, Holding His Knees In Fear.

Feeling All Hope Was Lost For Something To Eat, John Dory Was About To Give Up Until His Ear Twitched Again With Some Noise He Heard Nearby.

Peeking Through A Nearby Bush, John Dory Spotted A Farmers Market, Where Different Critters Were Shopping For Produce Foods, Such As Vegetables And Fruits.

"Perfect! A Farmers Market! Guy's, Imma Solve Our Hunger Games Issue! Be Right Back!"
John Dory Told His Brothers Before Wandering Off To The Farmers Market.

Clay Layed Out On His Back On The Ground.
"If He Doesn't Come Back And I Just Want Ya'll To Know....I'm Killing Him First To Eat"

~~~

~At The Farmers Market~

Heading Down To The Farmers Market, Different Critters Were Shopping For Their Fruits And Vegetables, As John Dory Walked Through The Market, Trying To Find The Right Appetizing Food For His Brothers.

Stopping At A Stand For Flavor Berries, John Dory Saw How Delicious The Fruits Looked And Was About To Grab One, Until He Saw The Sign Displaying The Price Of $5.00.

Feeling His Pockets For A Moment, John Dory Groaned To Himself As He Realized He Didn't Even Bring Money Along With Him For Emergency.

Before John Dory Could Walk Away, He Spotted Someone Sneaking Around The Flavor Berry Stand As Well, Looking For Something To Eat.

A Flop Hop Bunny, By The Name Of "Floppity", (Voiced By "Ice Cube"), Was A Gray N Back Flop Hop Bunny With A Black Scarf Over His Head, And Looking Very Mischievous In The Face.

As John Dory Watched The Mysterious Flop Hop Bunny, Floppity Made Sure No One Was Looking Before He Could Hit The Stand With His Elbow And Landing A Flavor Berry Into His Hand, As He Was Stealing It.

Floppity Turned His Head And Noticed John Dory Watching Him.
"Ay What's Your Problem Man? Never Seen Someone Steal Something Before?"

"Who Me? Oh No! I Don't Have A Problem I'm Jussstttt...Farmering And Marketing Ahaaa.."
John Dory Tried To Look Elsewhere, Awkwardly.

"Mhm Right. You Seem Like A Goody Two Shoes And I Ain't The One To Mess With If You Gonna Snitch On Me"
Floppity Said In A Firm Tone.

John Dory Got Offended By That.
"Goody Two Shoes? You Got It ALLLL Wrong. Cause Apparently I'm Bad! Where I Came From, Everyone Always Sees Me As A Troublemaker, And Never Understands Me! Well I Don't Care Anymore, This Is A New Day And Time For Me! So Ya Know What? I Don't Care Anymore! I'm A Baddy Uhhh....Four...Shoes Now?"

"Hm, Good For You Man. But Little Word For Advice, If You See A Gang Member Thieving On The Street, Don't Open Up Of Your Own Personal Issues- Nobody Got Time For All That"
Floppity Told John Dory.

"Oh- My Bad"
John Dory Rubbed His Neck.

"Nah, I Actually Kinda Dig It. Sometimes Out Here, Not Most People Wanna Be Opening Up Ya Know? It's A Streets Smart Kinda Thing"
Floppy Shrugged To Himself.

"Ah, Gotcha. Thanks"
John Dory Replied.

"And Another Thing, We Aren't Polite Wise So We Don't Take Thank You's Very Well"
Floppity Said.

"Oh, Makes Sense"
John Dory Said.

"The Name's Floppity"
Floppity Introduced Himself As He Eat The Flavor Berry Whole.

"I'm John Dory!"
John Dory Put His Hand Out To Shake.

"....Yeahhh Nah. Put That Thing Away"
Floppity Said Towards John Dory's Hand.

"Oh- Is That Another Streets Smart Thing?"
John Dory Questioned.

"It's Just A No In General. Plus, As A Thief, We Don't Respect Anything Or Show Any Signs It"
Floppity Replied.

"Fair Enough- Wait! You're A Straight Up Thief?? Like You Take As You Please??"
John Dory Said.

"As I Please And As I Want. And I Assume You Do Too So Take A Flavor Berry"
Floppity Said As He Snatched Another Flavor Berry.

"Oh Ummm, I Didn't Really Carry Any Cash With Me So Uh-"
John Dory Said, Feeling His Pockets Again.

"No, I Said TAKE One. As In Steal -.-"
Floppity Corrected John Dory.

"STEAL??? But I Don't- I Can't Just-"
John Dory Said, Very Hesitant.

"Ay Man, You Said You Weren't A Goody Two Shoes! You Gonna For Real Lie To My Face Right Now After I Gave You Street Smarts???"
Floppity Said, Glaring At John Dory And Approached Him Slowly.

John Dory Thought About It As He Remembered His Earlier Statement.
"You're Right....I'm A Baddy Four Shoes"

Attempting To Copy What Floppity Did, John Dory Hit His Elbow Against The Stand To Catch A Flavor Berry In His Hand, But Fail And Made All The Fruits Fall In His Head.

"OW OW OW DAMN HOW ARE THESE FRUITS SO HEAVY-"
John Dory Said, Covering His Head.

"Rookie 😒"
Floppity Rolled His Eyes As He Ate His Flavor Berry.

As The Flavor Berries All Fell, The Farmer That Worked At The Flavor Berry Stand Came Over And Saw Flopptiy And John Dory Stealing.

"HEY YOU TWO KIDS! GET AWAY FROM MY BERRIES!"
The Farmer Shouted At Them.

"Aw Shit- Nice Work Squarey Two Shoes -.- NOW RUN!"
Floppity Told John Dory As He Began To Hop Off.

John Dory Was About To Follow Until He Remembered.
"WAIT BUT- MY BROTHERS! THE FOOD!"

"SHOO! SHOO! GET OUTTA HERE KID!"
The Farmer Tried To Shove John Dory Away With A Broomstick.

Using His Hair, John Dory Lifted Himself Over The Flavor Berry Stand To Steal A Handful Of Fruits Before Flipping Over In Front Of The Farmer.

"HEY! THIEF!! KEEP AWAY FROM MY FRUITS!"
The Farmer Tried To Whack John Dory With The Broomstick.

Using His Reflexes, John Dory Grabbed The Broomstick And Used It To Sweep-Kick The Farmer Onto The Ground To Steal More Fruits Before Leaving.

Floppity Watched All Of That In Amazement Of John Dory's Skills.
"WHOA! YOU JUST BROOM KICKED THAT FARMER MAN!"

"I DIDN'T MEAN TO BUT HE TRIED TO SHOO ME AWAY WITH A BROOM! I'M NOT A FURRY BEAST TO DO THAT TO! THAT'S NOT WHAT A BROOM IS FOR!"
John Dory As He Ran With Floppity Into The Forest.

The Farmer Layed Out On The Ground, With His Broken Back.
"OW OW- HELLPPP! THIEFFFFF! THIEEEFFF! KID STOLE MY FLAVOR BERRIESSS! Which Makes My Life Sound Sad Out Loud ☹️"

~~~

~Back In The Forest~

Leaving The Farmer's Market, John Dory And Floppity Went Back Into The Forest With The Haul Of Flavor Berries John Dory Stole.

"Damn! I've Never Seen A Rookie Thief Move Like That To Steal!"
Floppity Said To John Dory, Impressed.

"Well It's A Gift! Terrible At Reading But Great At Cartoon Violence"
John Dory Chuckled To Himself.

"You Know, You Got Potential JD. That Thievery Move Was An Eye Catcher!"
Floppity Said.

"I Wouldn't Call That Thievery! It Was More Of Taking Without Paying And Hurting An Innocent Bystander At The Same Time....So Maybe Thievery- BUT IT WASN'T INTENTIONAL!"
John Dory Replied.

Floppity Chuckled To Himself With A Smirk.
"The Crew Might Think Otherwise"

"I'm Sorry- Crew?"
John Dory Raised His Eyebrow.

Suddenly, As John Dory Said That, The Ground Of Dirt Began To Rumble As Something Was About To Rise Out Of Down Below, With It Being A Creepy Looking Snake With One Eye, Named "Slither", (Voiced By "Steve Buscemi").

"AH!"
John Dory Backed Up At Slither, Getting Into Defense Mode.

Slither Used His Snake Tail To Wrap Up John Dory And Bring Him Close.
"WHO-SSSS THE NEW GUY-SSSSS~"

"AH AH AH AH SNAKE-"
John Dory Tried To Wiggle Out Of Slither's Grip.

Floppity Hopped Up And Brought John Dory Down From Slither.
"JD, Meet The Crew. This Here Is Slither. A One Eyed Snake Who Uses His Sneakily Slithering To His Advantage Of Thievery"

"ONE EYE ONE EYE- THAT SNAKE'S GOT ONE EYE"
John Dory Tried Not To Look And Turned Away.

Slither Got Offended And Glared At John Dory With His One Good Eye.
"YOUUUU-SSS LEAVE MY EYE-SSSS OUT OF THIS-SSSS~ HE'S VERY SENSITIVE-SSSS~"

"And Also Only Talks In Hisses"
Floppity Added On.

"Ya Don't Say.."
John Dory Mumbled To Himself.

Looking Down At His Feet, John Dory Saw A Tentacle Wrapping Around His Foot As He Was Lifted Off The Ground And Brought Forward By A Snuggle Squid By The Name Of "Octo", (Voiced By "Eminem").

"WHAT THE- WHOA WHOA!"
John Dory Screamed As He Was Being Dangled By A Tentacle.

Octo Looked John Dory In The Eye.
"Hmmm, So What Floppity? We Bringing Starburst Candies Into Our Gang Now? This One Seems Soft Inside"

"Chill The Hell Out Octo, This One's Got Skills For The Crew"
Floppity Replied With A Smirk.

"Mmm, If You Say So, But I Got My Eye One This One -.-"
Octo Glared At John Dory With His One Eye Also.

"And What A....Glossy Eye You Have There!"
John Dory Tried To Give A Compliment.

"WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT MY MOMMA????"
Octo Blurted Out Randomly At John Dory.

"NOTHING! NOTHING! I WAS JUST.....Please Put Me Down With Your Magnificent Tentacles 😁"
John Dory Said With A Innocent Smile.

"Fine"
Octo Casually Let John Dory Go And Dropped Him.

"D'OW!"
John Dory Landed On His Head.

"That's Octo. With Those Tentacles Of His, Dude Can Steal At Multiple Places At Once!"
Floppity Explained To John Dory.

John Dory Began To Feel Something In His Hair, Moving Around.
"HEY HEY WHO'S IN THERE?!"

Coming Out Of John Dory's Hair, A Cute Grinchilla Named "Twee", (Voiced By "Cameron Diaz"), Happily Jumped Out Of The Hair And Hugged John Dory Close With The Biggest Smile.

"HIIIII! I'M TWEE! AND I LOOOOOVE YOUR HAIR! IT'S SO GREEN AND FLUFFY! LIKE ME! Although I'm Not Green- BUT STILL FLUFFY! EHEHEEEEE!! 🤗 💕"
Twee Bounced Around With Energy.

"And This Is Twee"
Floppity Introduced Lastly.

John Dory Chuckled To Himself.
"Huh. She Seems Nice"

Twee Turned Red And Fiercely Grabbed John Dory To Scream In His Face.
"𝗗𝗢𝗡'𝗧 𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗠𝗬 𝗖𝗨𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗦!!!!!! 😾 🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️"

"GAH-"
John Dory Fell Back From The Yelling Wind Blow From Twee.

"Hehehe Thankies! 😊"
Twee Swung Her Hands Side To Side Innocently.

Floppity Helped John Dory Up.
"Yeah, Twee Here Helps Us Fool Idiots Into Thinking She's Sweet And Innocent, But Is Secretly Rageful Enough To Steal Anything"

John Dory Wobbled Off The Ground.
"G-Got It.."

"And Together We're....THE MISCHIEF CRITTERS!"
Floppity Presented As Him And The Crew Posed For A Moment.

"It's Like A Club ☺️, 𝗕𝗨𝗧 𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝗢𝗙 𝗕𝗔𝗗 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 𝗗𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗡 𝗕𝗬 𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗥𝗥𝗥!!!!! 🔥"
Twee Said Cutely Until Her Rageful Side Came Out.

John Dory Flinched At That Again.
"OKAY OKAY! Sooooo Like A Gang?"

"Not Just A Gang, We're THE Gang. A Crew Of Misunderstood Teenagers Who Steal And Commit Crimes With No Care In The World!"
Octo Said.

"PEOPLE-SSSS SEE USSS-SSS AS BADDDD SO WE INDULGE IN ALL IT'S-SSSS GLORIOUSNESS-SSSS~"
Slither Said With A Hissful Laugh.

"We Pull Off The Biggest Causes Of Mischief Anywhere! With The Amount Of Thievery We Pull, We Couldn't Careless About Anything Else In The World!"
Floppity Added On.

John Dory Snickered To Himself A Little.
"Pffft- Really? You Sure About That?"

"He Snickered. Flopptiy He Snickered!"
Octo Said.

"I Hear Him Snicker, Why Are You Snickering -.-"
Floppity Crossed His Arms.

"I'm Just Saying, I Get You Guys Are In A gaNg Butttt You Gotta Have Some Care In The World! Otherwise What's The Purpose Amrite?"
John Dory Told Them.

"HE'S-SSS NOT GETTING IT-SSSS~"
Slither Blurted Out.

Floppity Approached John Dory With A Serious Glare.
"Lemme Tell You Something Man. This World Has NOTHING To Care About! In This World, No One Cares How You Feel, Or Care To Understand You, OR ANY SHIT IN BETWEEN! IF YOU CARE IN THIS WORLD, YOU END UP DEAD INSIDE! I HOPE I MADE THAT PLAIN AND SIMPLE TO COMPREHEND! AND THAT'S HOW WE ARE! AND THIS IS HOW WE STAY! OKAY? -.-"

John Dory Gulped Nervously To Himself.
".....Okay 😅"

"OKAY! -.-"
The Mischief Critters Yelled In John Dory's Ears, Before Surrounding Him In A Circle.

Making That Very Clear To Him, John Dory Rubbed His Ears From That But Saw The Mischief Critters Were Making Music Beats With Snapping As If They're About To Sing.

The Mischief Criiters Began To Sing Around John Dory In A Circle.
🎵 What do we
care about nice? 🎵

🎵 What do we
care about sweet? 🎵

🎵 All that we care
about's vice! 🎵

🎵 And deceit! 🎵
Twee Sang In John Dory's Face.

🎵 Eatin' the mice-sss~ 🎵
Slither Sung As He Gobbled Up An Innocent Mouse.

🎵 Cheatin' at dice! 🎵
Octo Sung As He Rolled A Bunch Of Random Dices At John Dory.

🎵 Which is neat! 🎵
Twee Booped John Dory's Nose Sweetly.

🎵 We've got no
time for taste! 🎵

🎵 Who's got the
time to waste?! 🎵

🎵 We've got
a better plan- 🎵

🎵 To be as MEAN
as we can! 🎵

"...."
John Dory Didn't Know How To React As He Was Watching The Mischief Critters Sing To Him.

🎵 What do we
care about grace? 🎵

🎵 What do we
care about shy? 🎵

🎵 What do you say to
a pie in the face?! 🎵
Floppity Attempted To Throw A Pie At John Dory's Face.

"WHOA-"
John Dory Quickly Reacted And Dodged The Pie.

🎵 Or to a punch,
right in the lunch?! 🎵
Octo Tried To Punch John Dory In The Gut With All His Tentacles.

"AH! HEY! CAREFUL!"
John Dory Managed To Dodge Each Tentacle.

🎵 Or the EYE?! 🎵
Slither Loudly Sang In John Dory's Face, Showing Off His Damaged Eye.

🎵 We hate
your ugly mug! 🎵

🎵 This putrid place! 🎵

🎵 The lousy stinkin'
critter race! 🎵

🎵 What we love most.. 🎵

🎵 Is just disgusting
and gross! 🎵
Slither Showed Off His Nasty Disgusting Looking Snake Tongue.

"OH GOD THAT'S BAD BREATH- 🤢"
John Dory Held In His Nose.

🎵 We don't care
for sweet serenity! 🎵

🎵 We prefer
obscenity! 🎵

🎵 Low-life
language! 🎵

🎵 Filling the airrrr! 🎵

🎵 What do we
care for polite?! 🎵

🎵 What do we
care for genteel?! 🎵

🎵 What do you
say to a FIGHT?! 🎵
Floppity Threw Fake Punches Towards John Dory.

🎵 That's for REAL! 🎵
Twee Shook John Dory's Arm.

🎵 Really corrupt! 🎵
Octo Sung In John Dory's Ear.

🎵 Don't interrupt! 🎵
Slither Sung In John Dory's Other Ear.

🎵 It's a DEAL! 🎵
Twee Shook John Dory Faster Again.

🎵 We wanna build a world
with truly crude things! 🎵

🎵 Loathsome,
lewd things! 🎵

🎵 REALLY
rude things!!! 🎵

🎵 Can't you tell?!
We hate each other as WELL! 🎵
The Mischief Critters Started Group Fighting And Attacking Each Other For A Moment.

"Ummmm.."
John Dory Tried To Awkwardly Back Up Out Of The Song Number.

The Mischief Critters Pulled John Dory Back And Continued.
🎵 We shout our dirty words
in dirty voices! 🎵

🎵 We like dirt-bikes,
not Rolls-Royces! 🎵

🎵 Stick it there! 🎵

🎵 CAUSE WHAT THE
HECK DO WE CARE!? 🎵

🎵 WHAT DO WE CARE?! 🎵

🎵 WHAT DO
WE CAAAREEE! 🎵

Floppity Pulled John Dory Back Over As The Song Finished.
"Now Do You Get It?"

"You Guys Don't Care About Anything And Just Cause Trouble- Got It!"
John Dory Said Awkwardly.

"Exactly! And You My Man, You Can Be Just Like Us"
Floppity Said.

"I Can?"
John Dory Raised His Eyebrow.

"You Sure Can! We Saw How Yoy Handled That Farmer! Floppity Is Right, You'd Fit Right In With Our Criminal Schemes! EEEEEE!!!"
Twee Squealed Loudly.

"A Criminal Though?? But That's Not Me! I'm Not A Thief!"
John Dory Said.

"Well You Just Stole All Those Flavor Berries Didn't You?"
Octo Gestured At The Pile Of Fruits.

"WELL YEAH BUT I-"
John Dory Tried To Speak.

"SOUND-SSSSS BAD TO MEEEE-SSS~"
Slither Said With A Hissful Chuckle.

Floppity Wrapped His Arm Around John Dory.
"And We're You Just Trying To Accept The Fact That You ARE Bad? See With Us JD, Troubled Teenagers Are Accepted! Our World Is Full Of Non-Stop Trouble Where It Is Embraced. You Won't Have To Be Anyone Else But Your True Bad Self. And Wherever You Came From, If They Don't Accept That Side Of You...We Surely Will"

Hearing That From Floppity, John Dory Was Hesitant But Remembered The Whole Reason Behind Running Away From Home, And That Was To Keep Him And His Brother's Troubling Ways To Themselves Than Anyone Else.

"And If You Join Our Gang, You Can Venture And Live With Us! YOU'LL HAVE AN ACCEPTING HOME WHERE NO ONE TELLS YOU HOW BAD YOU ARE! EEEE IT SOUNDS SO FUN JUST THINKING ABOUT IT! A NEW MEMBERRRRRR!"
Twee Excitedly Sang For A Second.

"An Accepting Home...That's All I Really Wanted Honestly. Back Where I Came From, Everyone Always Told Us How Bad We Were"
John Dory Told Them.

"Well With Us, Trouble And Chaos Is Accepted. This Could Be Where You Belong Man"
Floppity Said.

"Chaos Is Our Thing So HECK YEAH WE'LL JOIN THE MISCHIEF CRITTERS!"
John Dory Excitedly Accepted.

"WHOA WHOAAA Hold Up There Square Skittle, Did You Just Say We? As In You're Not Alone?"
Floppity Questioned.

"Oh Yeah- I'm With My 4 Brothers! We All Kinda Ran Away From Home Together"
John Dory Said.

Floppity Stroked His Chin.
"Really Now? And Are They Are Troubled As You Are?"

"OHHHH Yeah, For Sure. We All Pretty Much Can't Go Anywhere Without Getting Our Hands Into Some Trouble"
John Dory Chuckled, Thinking About It.

Getting A Mischievous Idea In His Head, Floppity Smirked To Himself As He Gave Each Of The Mischief Critters A Look, Seeing If They Were Thinking What He Was Thinking.

"Hm, Alright JD, Here's The Deal. I'll Let You And Your Brothers Join The Gang And Have A Home With Us-"
Floppity Said.

"REALLY?!"
John Dory Said, Beginning To Have Hope.

Floppity Continued His Idea.
"BUT! In Order To Join, There's Oneeee Thing You Have To Do For Us First"

~~~

Meanwhile, Where The Rest Of The Brothers Were, Each Of Them Were Laid Out On The Ground, Looking All Hungry And Thirsty In The Face.

Spruce Coughed To Himself.
"Okay....So Since....John Didn't Come Back...We'll Do Your Plan Clay.."

Clay Nodded Slowly.
"Alright.....I'll Eat His Ribs First"

"THAT WON'T BE NECESSARY BOYS!"
An Optimisic Familiar Voice Shouted Out, Getting Closer Nearby.

Throwing A Bunch Of Flavor Berries In Front Of The Brothers, John Dory Returned To His Siblings With Food And Good News For Them.

"There You Go Guys! Dig It! Bite Into Those Berries!"
John Dory Said, Allowing Them To Eat.

"JOOOHNNN! OUR SAVIORRRR!"
Baby Branch Stuffed His Face Into The Flavor Berries Immediately.

"JOHN! I KNEW YOU'D BE BACK 😁"
Clay Stood Up And Said Innocently.

"Clay Was Planning On Eating You-"
Floyd Pointed At Clay.

"DAMMIT FLOYD-"
Clay Shouted In Annoyance.

Spruce Went Up To John Dory.
"You Okay Though Bro? What Took You So Long?"

"Well Actually Turns Out, I Met Someone!"
John Dory Said.

Spruce Gasped To Himself.
"😱....You.....YOU MET A GIRL!"

"What?! No!"
John Dory Said In Disgust.

Spruce Kept Getting Excited.
"THIS IS SO BRO-DACIOUS! It's About Time I Should Say- WHAT'S HER NAME?! No Lemme Guess! Savanna?? Julie?! Anna?! Camila?! Gwen?! Rachel?!"

"Floppity .___."
John Dory Answered To His Brother.

"WONDERFUL!"
Spruce Cheered Happily.

"What? No! He's A Thief"
John Dory Replied.

"Oh- John, You Do Not Have My Blessing To Kiss A Thief ✋️"
Spruce Put His Hands Up In Disapproval.

John Dory Rolled His Eyes.
"UGH- WILL YOU JUST LISTEN TO-"

"AAAAAAHHHH!!"
Floyd, Clay, And Baby Branch Shout Together And Stopped Eating At They Saw Someone Behind John Dory.

Floppity Made It To The Area, Along With Behind Him, Octo, Twee, And Slither, Glancing Down At The Other Brothers With Intimidating Gang Looks.

"O____O Uhhh John...Who's Errmm...Your Friends There?"
Spruce Gestured Behind His Brother.

"Guys, Meet My New Friends, Floppity, Octo, Slither, And Twee! Also Known As, THE MISCHIEF CRITTERS!"
John Dory Introduced The Gang.

"Hi! 😄 👋"
Floyd Waved Happily To The Mischief Critters.

"Mischief Critters, These Are My Brothers, Spruce, Clay, Floyd, And Branch!"
John Dory Introduced His Brothers.

Floppity Stared At The Brothers, In A Odd Way Of Not What He Expected.
"You're A Colorful Bunch-"

"Yeah Uh Who Exactly Are The Mischief Critters?"
Clay Said Using Air Quotes.

John Dory Began To Explain.
"They're A Gang Of Thieves And-"

"THIEVES?!??!"
The Brothers All Say Together In Sync As They Got Concerned.

Slither Went Over To Them And Wrapped Up Floyd And Baby Branch In His Tail Grip.
"ISSSS THAT A PROBLEM-SSSS~"

"U-UH NO! NOT AT ALL SNAKE GUY! 😬"
Floyd Said, Trying To Remain Calm.

"😓 I Think I Wet Myself.."
Baby Branch Said, Feeling His Diaper Getting Full From Fear.

Clay Went To Octo And Poked His Tentacles.
"Whoaaaa, If You're A Thief, I Bet You Steal A Hell Lot With Your Floppy Arms There!"

Octo Grabbed Clay's Leg With His Tentacle And Held Him Up.
"You Better Believe It Yellow! And Why's There A C On Your Hoodie?"

"Why Do You Have One Eye And Smell Like Spoiled Seafood? 🤨"
Clay Said Back.

"WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT MY MOMMA?!??!!?"
Octo Said Again And Yelled At Clay.

"Okay, I'm Already Over These Plot Convenience Characters-"
Clay Said, Dangling Upside Down With His Arms Crossed.

Spruce Whispered Over To John Dory.
"Uhhh John, Why Are You Hanging Out With Criminals?"

Twee Grabbed Spruce And Twirled Him Around.
"O-M-GOSHEEEEE!!! YOU ARE SOOOO CUTE AND FIT!!!!! I Declare You As Mine And Only Mine And You Shall Be MY SQUISHY BAE! 🥰 Are You Into Inter-Species Coupling? We Can Make It Work! THE FIRST GRINCHILLA X TROLL YOUNG LOVE!"

"WHAT?! NO! I'M NOT INTO THAT AT ALL!"
Spruce Tried To Get Away From Twee's Grip.

"𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗟 𝗕𝗘!!!! 😾🔥🔥‼️"
Twee Screamed Ragefully Into Spruce's Face.

"J-J-JOHNNNN.."
Spruce Called Out His Brother For Help.

John Dory Pulled Spruce From Twee's Grip.
"Listen Guys! They Aren't Just Thieves!....Well They Are- But They're Gonna Let Us Live With Them!"

"They Are?!"
Baby Branch And Floyd Say Together.

Clay Leaped Back Down From Octo.
"Wait Wait- You Want Us To Just Hang And Live With A Bunch Of Stranger Thieves?!?!"

Floppity Stood Up To Clay.
"Well From What Your Brother Told Us, You Could Appreciate It"

"John, What'd You Tell Them?"
Clay Questioned.

"Guys, Floppity And His Crew Get Where We're Coming From! They're Teenagers, Who Like Us, Are Seen As Only Troublemakers And Nothing More. So They Embraced It And Became What They're Told! And They Wanna Accept Us Too!"
John Dory Explained To The Brothers.

"I Get You Guys Are Runaways And We All Started Out Like That. Until We Found Each Other And Realized....If Everyone Sees As Us Bad, Then Why Try To Deny It Anymore? It's Our Identity"
Floppity Added On.

Spruce Pulled John Dory To Him.
"John, You Can't Be Serious"

"Spruce, Don't You See? We're Supposed To Be Bad! If Our Entire Home And Friends And Even Family See Us As That....Why Not Embrace It With People Who's Just Like Us!"
John Dory Gestured To The Mischief Critters.

"But Johnnnn...These Are Criminals! Grandma Would Never Look At Us The Same If We Hung Out With Them!"
Floyd Said.

"Floyd, Think About It! What Does Grandma See Us As Now?"
John Dory Said Back To Floyd.

"Well...She...Hhhh.."
Floyd Didn't Wanna Answer And Just Drooped His Ears Down.

"Even Her Novel That She WROTE Claims Us As Bad! These Guys Are Wanting To Give Us A Home To Stay And Join Their Gang!"
John Dory Said.

"Mmmm I Don't Know John...This Is The Most Risky Decision We Could Ever Make. And That's Saying Something Coming From Me"
Clay Said.

Baby Branch Tugged On John Dory's Shirt.
"John? I Don't Know If It's Safe To Hang Out With Bad People.."

John Dory Kneeled Down To Baby Branch.
"Branch, Don't You Want A Home? A Home That Accepts You?"

"Well Yes But....I Don't Know.. 👉👈"
Baby Branch Fiddled With His Chubby Little Fingers.

"You Guys Can Have It All With Us, A Home, A New Family, And Be Invited To A World Fun Of Trouble That Is Accepted"
Floppity Said.

"Whaddya Say Guys?"
John Dory Asked His Brothers.

Contemplating About This Decision, The Other Brothers Glanced At One Another Not Knowing How To Respond Or Even Accept This Offer, While They Did Want To Be Accept As They Are And Have A New Home.

Spruce Sighed Deeply And Stepped Up.
"While We Can Call This TEMPORARY, I Guess We Don't Have Any Other Choice"

"But, There's One Thing We Gotta Do First In Order To Join Them"
John Dory Mentioned.

"And That Issss?"
Spruce Crossed His Arms.

"OH NOTHING JUSSSTTT....YA KNOWWW.....Pull A Heist To Steal The World's Largest Rubber Band 😁"
John Dory Blurted Out As Quickly As He Could.

"WHAT?!?!?!?!?"
The Brothers Yell At Once.

"STEAL A GIANT RUBBER BAND?!"
Spruce Said.

"PULL A HEIST???"
Clay And Floyd Said Together.

"Steal..? 😟"
Baby Branch Said Nervously As He Gulped.

"YESSS-SSSS~ STEALLLL~"
Slither Weirdly Said In Baby Branch's Face.

"IIIIII Don't Like This Snake.."
Baby Branch Backed Up A Bit From Slither.

"YOU'VE GOT TO BE CRAZIER! WE CAN'T PULL A HEIST JOHN!"
Spruce Shook John Dory's Shoulders.

"Your Brother Said You Guys Get Your Hands Dirty In Chaos ALL The Time. This Should Be No Different"
Octo Said.

"Exactly! Guys We've Done Worse Things! We Can Pull A Heist! Plus It's Just A Rubber Band We're Stealing!"
John Dory Wrapped His Arms Around Clay And Spruce.

"Steal Us The Giant Rubber Band And You Guys Are In The Gang! Which Means A New Home To Call Your Home"
Floppity Explained To The Brothers.

"Hm...I Mean It Can't Be That Hard To Steal A Giant Rubber Band? I Could Use My James Frond Skills"
Clay Thought About.

"And I Am A Little Sneaky As I Am With The Ladiesss If I Do Say So Myself"
Spruce Thought About.

"SEE! THAT'S THE SPIRIT!"
John Dory Said.

"Sneaky Huh? 👀"
Twee Bounced Her Eyebrows At Spruce, Flirtingly.

"6 Ft Dollface-"
Spruce Pushed Twee A Away A Bit.

"I Really Don't Know About This John! Heists Are Big Things To Do....BIG BAD THINGS! Are You Sure?"
Floyd Rubbed His Arm.

"I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE SURER FLOYD! Plus We'll All Be Together Doing It!"
John Dory Ruffled Floyd's Hair.

Floppity Nodded To That.
"Trust Me, If You All Can Pull This Off As Good As JD Says, Welcome To The Mischievous Club"

"YES! THIS IS GONNA BE FUUUNN!"
John Dory Hyped Up For His Brothers.

"Ehhhh.."
Clay, Spruce, And Floyd Exchanged More Doubtful Looks To One Another.

Baby Branch Turned To The Wattpad Reader Audience.
"We're About To Pull A Heist...To Steal A Giant Rubber Band....How Hard Can That Be Right? 😬"

~~~

~Back At Rosiepuff's Pod~

Meanwhile Back At The TrollTree, In The Rosiepuff Pod, Grandma Rosiepuff Got Up From Her Afternoon Nap After Still Having Writers Block For Her Upcoming Novel.

Heading To The Kitchen, Grandma Rosiepuff Opened Up The Fridge And Noticed Something Odd Inside: It Was Still Full Of Food.

Grandma Rosiepuff Rubbed Her Eyes And Got Confused.
"Wait A Minute- It's Saturday Afternoon And Still The Fridge Is Full? BOOOYSSSSS! I THINK IT'S TIME TO COME DOWN TO EATTTT!"

When There Was No Response To Her Shouting, Grandma Rosiepuff Started To Get Concerned And Suspicious Of Her Grandsons, Seeing How Odd It Was That They've Been Locked In Their Room ALL Saturday.

Going Up The Stairs, Grandma Rosiepuff Went To The Locked Door Of The Bedroom Of The Brothers And Knocked On It Gently, Hoping For A Response.

Grandma Rosiepuff Spoke Against The Locked Door.
"Boys? Booooys? Listen Um, Look I Understand If You're Still Upset Over Me Grounding You All Yesterday But...Unfortunately As Your Guardian And Grandmother I Have To Use Tough Love On You Five. And I Want You To Know, No Matter What Consequence May Come Upon You Boys, I'll Always Love You! Troubled Or Not Alright? So Please...Come Downstairs And Eat"

Once Again, With There Still Being No Response From The Locked Bedroom, Grandma Rosiepuff Immediately Began To Get Worried And Tried To Open The Doorknob.

"BOYS??? ARE YOU IN THERE?? STAND CLEAR, I'M GONNA KICK OPEN THE DOOR!"
Grandma Rosiepuff Shouted As She Jiggled The Doorknob.

Getting In A Fighting Stance With A Back Up, Grandma Rosiepuff Lifted Her Kick And Kicked Open The Door To The Brothers Bedroom.

"HI-YAH!"
Grandma Rosiepuff Shouted As She Jumped Into The Bedroom.

As Expected, The Bedroom Was Empty With None Of The Brothers Insight To See, This Gave Grandma Rosiepuff A More Confused Thought.

"Boys?? John?? Spruce?? Branch? Anyone?"
Grandma Rosiepuff Said In The Bedroom.

Suddenly, Hearing Slight Crying In The Room, Grandma Rosiepuff Searched Around The Room More Until She Spotted Something Underneath The Covers On One Of The Top Bunks.

Carefully Grabbing The End Of The Blanket Hanging Down, Grandma Rosiepuff Pulled The Cover Off, For It To Reveal Rhonda Cuddling And Snuggling With The BroZone Plushie Dolls, As She Cried Her Armadillo Tears.

"Rhonda..?"
Grandma Rosiepuff Said With A Confused Expression, Not Expecting Rhonda.

Rhonda Didn't Pay Grandma Rosiepuff Any Mind, As She Was Busy Tearing Up As She Snuggled With The BroZone Plushie Dolls, Especially John Dory's Doll, Missing Each Of The Brothers.

"Wait A Minute...If They're Not Here Then.."
Grandma Rosiepuff Started To Think The Worse As She Panicked.

Grandma Rosiepuff Immediately Ran Out The Bedroom To Search For Her Grandsons.
"OH NO! NONONONO BOYYYSS??? BOOOYSSS?!?"

Grandma Rosiepuff Looked Underneath The Couch.
"FLOYD??!?!"

Grandma Rosiepuff Looked In The Cabinets And Closets.
"SPRUCE?!?!"

Grandma Rosiepuff Looked In The Baby Crib And In Some Shoes.
"BRANCH?!?! BRRAANCH?!?!"

Grandma Rosiepuff Looked In Rhonda's Literbox.
"JOHN??????"

Grandma Rosiepuff Looked Inside Of The Toilet.
"CLAY?!?!?!?!?!?"

Grandma Rosiepuff Ran Outside The Pod And Shouted Loudest She Has Ever.
"PEEEEEAAACCCHHFUUUUZZZESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!"

~~~

~At The Rubber Factory~

After Agreeing And Willingly Accepting To Pull Of A Heist With The Mischief Critters, The Brothers All Arrived To The Area Of Where The Rubber Factory Was Being Held.

The Rubber Factory Was A Big Facility Building Where All Items Made Of Rubber Were Made, Making It A Highly Secured Factory With Lots Of Security And Cameras.

On Top Of A Hill Nearby The Factory, The Brothers And The Mischief Critters Were Staring At The Factory From The Distance They Were, Plotting Their Heist Attempt.

"There It Is, The Rubber Factory!"
Floppity Pointed Across At The Factory.

"And Inside Is Where The Prize Lies.."
Octo Said.

"The MEGA Elastic Rubber Band"
The Mischief Critters Say Together At Once.

"The Biggest Rubber Band There Is! Once We Get It- EEEEE! WE'LL BE ABLE TO PULL OFF ANYTHING!"
Twee Squealed To Herself.

"ANYTHINGGG-SSSS~"
Slither Hissed With Joy.

Spruce Whispered Over To His Brother.
"Uhm- John Dory? Can I Have A Word?"

Listening To His Brother, John Dory And Spruce Scooted Over A Little To Talk In Private Of The Insanity Heist They Were About To Pull Off.

"Are You Absolutely 100% About This? I Mean We're Not Talking About A Little Steal, This Is A FULL ON Crime Heist! And For A Rubber Band??"
Spruce Whispered.

"Dude, This Is The Chance Of Inclusion! To Be With Teenagers Like Us! A New Home Of Acceptance! Right Guys??"
John Dory Said Over At The Other Brothers.

"Mmmm.."
Floyd, Clay, And Baby Branch Replied With Doubtful Looks.

"C'monnn, Trust Me! I Would Never Put You In Danger!"
John Dory Ensured His Brothers.

".___."
Floyd, Clay, And Baby Branch Blankly Stared At Their Oldest Brother, Knowing That Was A Lie.

".....Again"
John Dory Added On.

".______."
Floyd, Clay, And Baby Branch Held Their Expression, Knowing Damn Well John Dory Put Them In Danger Multiple Times.

".........I Promise"
John Dory Added On Again.

".__________________."
Floyd, Clay, And Baby Branch Remained Their Expression, With No Hope In John Dory Whatsoever.

".....Okay, I Can't Promise That- We're Gonna Rob This Place, Are You In Or Out?"
John Dory Told Them.

Floppity Turned Towards The Brothers.
"Alright You Five! It's Crime Time! The Mega Elastic Rubber Band Is Hidden Deep In That Factory. Me And My Gang Have Tried To Infiltrate It Before, And Obviously Failed. So You Think You're Up For This?"

"Oh Sureeee, I Mean It's Stealing A Giant Rubber Band! Can't Get Much Easier Right?"
Clay Said.

"Yeah Yeah Whatever Yellow- I Just Need You Five To Be Focused On This Heist!"
Floppity Told Them.

"Don't Worry About That Floppity! Cause My Baby Brother Branch Happens To Be A VERY Operational Baby! He Once Helped Our School Pull A Prank War On Our Teachers! And Who Organized That? THIS BABEHHHH!"
John Dory Held Up Baby Branch And Snuggled Him.

"Seriously? The Baby?"
Octo Raised His One Eyebrow.

"Surprisingly He's Not Wrong! I'm The Only One Who's Egg Didn't Fall So I've Got Some Smarts Of How We Can Pull This Off"
Baby Branch Stroked His Chin.

"Sounds Believable- OH! And One More Thing....Don't Get Caught, I Can't Stress That Enough"
Floppity Begged To The Brothers.

"Why?"
Spruce Questioned.

"So You Won't Get Caught By....H e r"
Twee Whispered At Them.

"Enough With The Vagueness! WHO?"
Clay Said.

"......Chief Firm"
Floppity Told The Brothers, In A Dramatic Sense.

"Chief Firm?"
The Brothers Say Together.

"SHE'S-SSSS THE WORSEEEE-SSSS"
Slither Said.

"She's The Chief Officer Of The Worse Place On Earth For A Misbehaved Kid! The Delinquent Center"
Floppity Told The Brothers.

Floyd Gasped To Himself In Horror.
"The Delinquent Center?! IT'S REAL?!?!?"

"Oh Ho Hooo Yeah It's Real! And Trust Me, You Wouldn't Wanna Get Locked Up In That Place"
Floppity Warned The Brothers.

"We All Got Locked In There And Were Lucky To Have Made It Out Once!"
Octo Explained.

"And Ever Since We All Broke Outta There, Chief Firm Has Been On Our Case For Years! She's Desperately Determined To Bring Us Back And Any Troubled Kid That Stumbles Her Path.."
Floppity Explained More.

Floyd Gulped To Himself.
"I May Need To Borrow One Of Branch's Diapers.."

John Dory Rubbed Floyd's Back.
"Relax Floyd! No One's Getting Locked Up In No Delinquent Center Or Caught By This Chief Firm! We're Just Gonna Break Into This Factory And Get That Rubber Band!"

"O-O-Okay.."
Floyd Replied, Still Feeling Scared Inside Of This Whole Thing.

John Dory Kneeled Down To Baby Branch.
"Alright Branch, You're The Brainy Baby, What's Our First Move?"

Baby Branch Thought To Himself.
"Hmmm...Well, First We Gotta Get Ontop Of The Roof!"

"Sounds Easier Said Than Done"
Spruce Said.

"Oh It Isn't! Follow Me Guys!"
Baby Branch Formed His Hair Into A Glider And Began To Fly In The Air.

Following Along Their Baby Brother, The Rest Of The Brothers Formed Their Hair Into A Glider And Flew Behind Baby Branch To The Roof Of The Rubber Factory.

Floppity Mischievously Smirked To Himself, Watching The Brothers.
"Good Luck~"

~~~

On The Roof, The Brothers Hair-Glided Up Without Being Spotted And Landed On Top Of The Factory's Roof, Beside A Nearby Vent.

"Great Plan Branch!"
John Dory Said.

"I'm The Baby With The Plan 😌 Patent Pending"
Baby Branch Winked At The Wattpad Readers.

"Okaaaay But What's The ACTUAL Plan Of Getting The Rubber Band And Inside?"
Spruce Asked.

"Simple! Clay, You Have Your James Frond Ear-Mics?"
Baby Branch Asked.

"Always! WA-BAM!"
Clay Reached In His Hair And Handed Each Brother An Ear-Mic.

"This Will Give Us The Opportunity To Communicate!"
Baby Branch Said.

"Awww These Are Adorable"
Floyd Said, Putting It In His Ear.

"HEY! JAMES FROND IS NOT ADORABLE! He's Professional"
Clay Corrected Floyd.

"Sooooo The Plan?"
Spruce Said.

Baby Branch Began To Explain.
"Alright Since This Is A Highly Secured Factory, There Must Be Workers And Security Cameras All Over! So In Order To Get The Rubber Band Undetected, Here's What We Do.."

~~~

Baby Branch's Plan: "First, You Guys Are Going To Have To Sneak Into The Air Vent, And Drop Everyone Off At A Specific Location! Spruce In The Computer Room, Clay In The Electrician Closet, Floyd In The Hallway, And John Dory To Stay In The Air Vents"

Inside Of The Rubber Factory, Coming Down And Landing On The Floor, Spruce, Clay, And Floyd Tip Toed Across The Lobby To Their Assigned Locations, While John Dory Remained In The Air Vents.

Baby Branch's Plan: "And I'll Remain On The Roof For Look Out. Once Split Up, Spruce Will Head To The Computer Room Where All The Security Camera's Are, So That He Can Be Able To Turn Off Each Camera To Avoid Being Seen"

Knocking On The Door Of The Computer Room, The Factory Worker Inside Opened The Door And There Was A Plate With A Sandwich On The Floor.

"Sandwich?"
The Factory Worker Said Confused.

"NOPE! A KNUCKLE ONE! 👊"
Spruce Jumped Down And Punched The Factory Worker Dead In The Face.

With The Worker Knocked Out, Spruce Pushed Their Body And Tied It Up In The Corner, Then Jumped To The Seat In Front Of The Security Cameras.

Spruce Logged Onto The Computer, And Spoke Into His Ear-Mic.
"Copy That! I'm In!"

Baby Branch's Plan: "When Spruce Logs Onto The Security Cameras, Clay Will Make His Way To The Electricians Closet, Where He Will Operate His Classic Prank Techniques"

Opening Up The Closet For Electricians, On The Wall Was The Light Switch To The Entire Rubber Factory, In Which Clay Began To Flicker Off And On.

"Dark!"
Clay Flipped The Switch Off.

"HUH???"
The Factory Workers All Got Confused In The Dark And Stopped Working.

"Light!"
Clay Flipped The Switch Back On.

"Phew.."
The Factory Workers Sighed Of Relief And Continued Working.

"Dark!"
Clay Flipped The Switch Back Off Again.

"AAAAAAH WE'VE BLINDDDD!!! HELP USSSSSS!!!"
The Factory Workers Freaked Out Again.

"Light!"
Clay Flipped The Switch Back On Again.

"What A Relief.."
The Factory Workers Say In Relief Again.

Clay Grinned Evily And Flipped The Switches Off And On Rapidly.
"LIGHT DARK LIGHT DARK LIGHT DARK LIGHT DARK LIGHT DARK LIGHT DARK LIGHT DARK LIGHT DARK-"

"AAAAAHHHH IT'S THE BLINDING APOCALYPSEEEEEE!!!!"
The Factory Workers Ran Around In Circles, Panicking Once More.

"Mehehehe~ Workers Are Traumatized!"
Clay Said Into His Ear-Mic.

Baby Branch's Plan: "As Soon As Clay Pranks The Workers, Floyd, You'll Be Dressed Up As An Old Janitor Who Accidentally Mopped The Floor With Slippery Degreaser, Causing All The Workers To Slip Away"

Coming Out Of The Janitors Closet And Into The Lobby Of The Factory, Floyd Was Dressed As An Old Janitor Worker With A Red Puffy Mustache.

Floyd Cleared His Throat And Fixed His Mustache, Mopping The Floor.
"mY oLd lAdY's gOt nO tEeTh, dOo dAh! dOo dAh! iM juSt a mAn moPping uP tHe fLoOr, oH tHe dOo dAh dAy! 👴"

The Factory Workers Freaking Out All Ran Across The Floor But Slipped From Floyd's Mopping.
"WHOA WHOA WHOA- AAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

With The Door Opening To The Lunch Break Room, All Of The Factory Workers Slipped Into The Break Room As Floyd Locked It Up.

"wOrKeRs aRe trApPed! 👴"
Floyd Said Into His Ear-Mic With His Old Man Voice.

Baby Branch's Plan: "Once The Workers Are All Trapped, That Will Give John Dory The Advantage To Swoop Down And Steal Our Rubber Band! While I Wait Out Here To Bring You Guys Back Out!"

Baby Branch On The Mic: "Everyone Copy That?"

John Dory On The Mic: "Copy!"

Spruce On The Mic: "Copy!"

Clay On The Mic: "Copy!"

Floyd On The Mic: "cOpY 👴"

Baby Branch On The Mic: "Alright! The Heist Operation For The Mega Elastic Rubber Band Is On And Poppin!"

Sneaking In Through The Air Vents, With His Goggles On, John Dory Crawled To Find The Correct Room Where The Mega Elastic Rubber Band Was Being Held.

"Not This One...Not Here....Ooh! There It Is!"
John Dory Looked Down Below.

Opening The Air Vent Under Him, John Dory Poked His Head Out In The Room Where The Mega Elastic Rubber Band Was Being Held, As It Was A 5 Times Their Size Giant Red Rubber Band.

John Dory Spoke Into His Ear-Mic.
"Guys I've Found It! It's So Big And Majestic.."

Clay On The Mic: "That's Swell Johnathan....NOW FUCKING GRAB IT!!!"

"Wait! It's Too Big! Might Need Some Back Up. You Got Me Spruce?"
John Dory Said Into The Ear-Mic.

Spruce On The Mic: "I Got You Bro, I'm On My Way"

Back Inside Of The Computer Security Camera Room, Spruce Finished Logging And Turning Off Each Camera, And Proceeded To Jump Up And Climbed Into One Of The Vents.

What Spruce Didn't Know Was, One Secret Camera In The Computer System Still Wasn't Turned Off, And Was Catching The Footage.

The Factory Worker Who Was Tied Up By Spruce Slowly Woke Up.
"H-Huh...What Happened.."

~~~

Climbing Through The Vents To Reach His Brother In Time, Spruce Arrived To John Dory And Both Of Them Looked Down Below In The Secured Room Of The Mega Elastic Rubber Band.

"Alright, Now How Do We Get The Rubber Band?"
Spruce Gestured.

"We Can't Just Snatch It. It's One Of Those Weight Detectors. We Have To Replace The Rubber Band That Matches It's Heavy Giant Weight Exactly"
John Dory Explained.

Spruce Thought And Reached In His Hair To Take Out One Of Baby Branch's Full Diapers.
"How About This?"

"....Why Do You Have- You Know What? Not Even Worth Asking"
John Dory Said As He Took The Full Diaper.

"Ay, If I'm Ever To Be A Dad, Imma Have To Get Used To It"
Spruce Shrugged.

John Dory Took Out Some Rope And Tied It Around Waist.
"Alright Mr. Hefty Hairoids, You're Gonna Lower Me Down Then When I Switch The Diaper And Rubber Band, Yoink Me Up, Got It?"

"Who Says Yoink?"
Spruce Said.

"JUST YOINK ME-"
John Dory Replied.

"Alright Yoinker"
Spruce Rolled His Eyes.

Taking A Deep Breath, John Dory Then Jumped Down Below Carefully To Reach The Bottom Where The Mega Elastic Rubber Band Was Being Held.

John Dory Inhaled And Exhaled.
"Hhh! Hhh! Alright...Just Gotta Switch Em Carefully.."

"C-C-C'MON YOU HEAVY JUG OF SQUARE-"
Spruce Said, Holding Onto The Rope.

"Yeah Yeah Just Two Seconds!"
John Dory Said.

Ready To Switch The Items, John Dory Carefully Pushed The Enormous Rubber Band Off The Pallet And Placed The Full Diaper On It Quickly.

"YES! Perfect Weight!"
John Dory Said As He Tugged On The Rope.

Feeling The Tug On The Rope, Spruce Began To Lift John Dory Back Up As He Held Onto The Mega Elastic Rubber Band And Into The Vent.

"I'VE GOT IT!"
John Dory Gestured To The Long Big Rubber Band.

"WE'VE GOT IT!"
Spruce Was About To Give John Dory A High Five.

🚨 ❗️ 🚨 ❗️ 🚨 ❗️

John Dory And Spruce Froze With Their Too-Soon Smiles Stuck On Their Faces.

Factory Speaker: 🔊 "ATTENTION RUBBER FACTORY EMPLOYEE! WE HAVE SUSPECTS WHO HAVE BREACHED THE PREMISES AND HAVE ATTEMPTED TO STEAL THE MEGA ELASTIC RUBBER BAND! ANYONE WHO LOOKS OUT OF PLACE, STOP THEM! 🔊 "

"😀.....R U N 😀"
John Dory Blurted Out To Spruce.

"🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️💨"
The Two Brothers Dashed Out Of The Vent As Fast As They Could In Blue Blurs.

Factory Speaker: 🔊 "I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL! WE HAVE SUSPECT INFILTRATION IN THE FACTORY 🔊 "

🚨 ❗️ 🚨 ❗️ 🚨 ❗️ 🚨

With The Alarm Of The Rubber Factory Going Off, John Dory And Spruce Jumped Down From The Vents And Into The Lobby, Where Floyd And Clay Arrived As Well.

"WHAT IS HAPPENINGGGG!"
Floyd Said As He Took Off His Old Man Janitor Disguise.

"I DON'T KNOW, SOMETHING MUST'VE TRIGGERED THE ALARM!"
John Dory Said.

"-.-"
Everyone Glanced At Clay, Thinking He Might've Been The Problem.

"OH SURE- BLAAAME THE GUY WITH THE COPY CAT CHIPMUNK HOODIE! SONS OF MUNK-BITCHES! 😒"
Clay Rolled His Eyes, Offended.

"LOOK I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE ALARM BUT WE GOTTA GO! BRANCH! BRANCH DO YOU COPY??"
Spruce Tapped On His Ear-Mic.

"HE'S NOT ANSWERING-"
Floyd Said.

"WE'RE DOOMEDDD! ALL THIS FOR A FUCKING RUBBER BAND??? HOW MUCH RANDOM PLOTLINE CAN YOU GET?!?!"
Clay Blurted Out Loud.

"HEY!! HEEEY!!! THIEVES!!! OPEN THIS DOOR! OPEN THE DOOR!!!"
The Factory Workers Trapped In The Lunch Break Room Yelled And Banged On The Door.

"AHHH! WHAT DO WE DO?! WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!!"
Floyd Grabbed His Hair As He Panicked.

"ALRIGHT DUDES STAND BACK! I Got This 💪"
Spruce Began To Run Towards The Locked Shut Door, Hoping To Bust It Open.

S L A M !

Spruce Wobbled Backwards All Dizzy As He Failed.
"😵‍💫 N-N-Nevermind.."

"Thanks For The Hope ._____."
Clay Patted Spruce's Shoulder.

"WAIT! What's That Sound..?"
John Dory Said As His Ears Twitched.

Suddenly, The Sound Of A Car Skrrt Was Heard Outside Of The Factory, Until Bursting Through The Walls, Was A Big Junk Truck, Driven By The Mischief Critters Crashed In To Pick The Brothers Up.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!"
The Brothers Screamed As The Junk Truck Backed Up And Pushed Them All Into The Back Of The Truck.

"YAY YOU GOT THE RUBBER BAND! It's So Larrrgeee.."
Baby Branch Poked The Giant Rubber Band.

"WHERE ARE WE?? WHAT IS THIS?!"
Spruce Blurted Out, Inside Of The Junk Truck.

Floppity Looked Back At The Brothers.
"WE CALL IT....The Mischief Mobile"

"How Original?"
Clay Raised His Eyebrow.

"Don't Sass Me Yellow -.- STEP ON IT TWEE!!!"
Floppity Ordered Out Loud.

"STEPPING!!"
Twee Jumped Down On The Gas Pedal.

With The Mega Elastic Rubber Band Secured In Their Possession By Their Heist, The Junk Truck With Both The Brothers And The Mischief Critters Inside, Dashed Out Of The Rubber Factory And Drove Out To The Road On Their Getaway.

The Factory Workers All Banded Together To Break Down The Lunch Break Room Door, Finally Escaping From Being Trapped.

"SIR! THOSE WERE KIDS WHOL STOLE OUR MAGNIFICENT RUBBER BAND! WHAT DO WE DO?!?"
One Of The Factory Workers Said.

The Rubber Factory Owner Took Out His Snailphone And Dialed A Number.
"INITIATE A LOCKDOWN EVERYONE! AND GET ME CHIEF FIRM FROM THE DELINQUENT CENTER!"

~~~

~In A Secret Location~

* R I N G
R I N G *

* R I N G
R I N G *

In The Disclosed Location, The Snailphone There Was Ringing Loudly As Someone Answered The Call, Being None Other Than "Chief Firm" (Voiced By "Cathy Moriarty"), The Head Officer Of The Delinquent Center, Who Was A Large Walking Cuddlepup.

Chief Firm Answered The Snailphone Reluctantly.
"Speak To Me....A Large Rubber Band? Who Was It? Some Adrenaline Junkies? Old Man Thieves? Colorful Creatures With Hair Huh? KIDS?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

Hearing The Word "Kids" Triggered Chief Firm As It Was Her Destiny To Always Catch And Lock Up Any Kids Or Teenagers Who Cause Trouble And Place Them In The Delinquent Center.

With That Being Said, Chief Firm Pressed A Button That Summoned Her Team Of Men Cuddlepup Officers Who Will Join Her In Her Assignment.

Chief Firm Walked Up And Down Beside Her Team.
"ALRIGHT TEAM! WE'VE GOT A BUNCH OF NEW DELINQUENTS ON OUR TRAIL AND I MEAN WE CANNOT LET THEM GET AWAY WITHOUT A FIRM CHASE! THEY'LL RUN LIKE A CAT AND HIDE LIKE A MOUSE! And They're Colorful Hairy Little Fellows By Sound Of It- SO NOW IT'S TIME TO CATCH THE DELINQUENT BEASTS AND BRING THEM TO JUSTICE!"

"YES MA'AM! 🫡"
The Officer Team Shouted And Saluted.

"LET'S MOVE OUT!!!"
Chief Firm Announced To Her Team.

With Each Team Member Grabbing Their Items And Anything They Might Need To Catch Any Troublemaker Kids, They All Hopped In Their Squad Cars, Ready To Roll Out. 🚓

Chief Firm Gripped Her Wheel And Gave A Firm Determined Expression.
"Poor Poor Kiddos, Should've Just Stayed In School.....Now You Deal With Me~"
