Summary
John Dory knew he had been gone for too long, and he regretted it. Spending time on the Neverglade Trail, by himself with the exception of Rhonda helped clear his head. Helped him remember just how much he valued his family, how much he loved them. As he made his way back to Bergen Town, back to the Troll Tree he had lived in with all his bros. Hopefully they would accept his apology. Hopefully they could all be a family again.
Viva warned Clay this would be a dangerous journey. And he did not disagree, but he had to know if Branch, Floyd and Grandma had survived. He had not made it back to their home in time on the day of the Great Escape, and while Viva was worried that all the other trolls were gone he could not believe his family was. He refused. While Clay was plenty angry about the events leading up to the BroZone breakup still, he loved his family. Floyd, Branch and Grandma had not done anything wrong. So he needed to confirm they were okay. If they made it out he would stop at nothing to find them.
But neither John Dory nor Clay knew who they were about to run into.
And neither knew the journey they were about to embark on together.
A journey that would reunite BroZone once more.

Summary
Branch doesn’t remember everything about the past, especially about the earliest days of his life. Those memories are faded, the words washed away to leave behind only feelings of warmth, safety and love. It leads him to leaning more on his still secure toddler memories whenever he wants to recall his brothers John Dory, Spruce, Clay and Floyd. He remembers their smiling faces, the way they loved and encouraged him. Those memories were still vibrant and easy to understand.
But in the land of dreams exceptions could be made.
In the land of dreams Branch could feel their love from any year, from any time. Even if the memory went away when he awoke, those feelings always remained. Branch could always take solace in that. Which he did for over two decades.
But things were different now. Because they were here now.
John Dory, Bruce, Clay and Floyd.
His brothers are home.

Summary
It had been a long time since Branch had agreed to do one of these events. The last time he had was with BroZone, and since he’d only been a trolling back then, his job had been relatively simple: act cute, don’t tell the fan your name, and have fun. Bitty B never had to worry about doing much else for an event like this and that was if he was included in the first place. Normally these events were themed around dating. And all of his older brothers John Dory, Spruce, Clay and Floyd handled those. But now, as the leader of Kismet, someone who a lot of fans found mysterious and desirable at that, he would have to do a lot more to do with this. A special “Hang Out With Kismet For A Day” event, where anyone could win and the proceeds went to charity.

After the events of the first Trolls holiday special, Branch feels all partied out. As much as he enjoys being around Poppy and singing, there was only so much social battery for Branch to go off of.

Summary
When Clay had been a little trolling, he had received a dictionary for his birthday. His brothers Johnny and Spruce had given to him, and even though Grandma thought he was a little too young to get a book as a present, Clay took time every day to read his favorite book, learning as many words as he could and using them in front of his very impressed big brothers.
“You’re so smart Clay!” Spruce would say.
“We’re so proud of you little bro,” John Dory would say, ruffling his wild hair.
And back then, being smart and silly had been the highlights of Clay’s personality, things all his brothers praised him for. But things were different now. Clay was a teenager now. And while he used to love being funny, these days it just wasn’t the same.
No one took him seriously.
Whenever he tried to be smart, whenever he tried to use his knowledge to better BroZone, it was overlooked, and Clay found himself feeling unseen. Being the “Fun One” of BroZone had used to be just that: fun. But now it left him feeling like no one saw him for all that he was anymore. Well, almost no one as he would soon find out on a certain little trolling’s birthday.

Summary
Branch felt exhilarated every time he slipped into his “B” persona and tonight was no different. They were at the end of a show, trolls cheering their names as Branch, Hype, Trickee, Boom and Ablaze danced and sang together. Their voices blended beautifully, harmony on point as the show came to a close.
And then they were done for the night. Heading back to the Bunker for a sleepover, it was easy to fall into this new rhythm of celebrating together over their success. Branch felt at ease with his friends and bandmates. They spent the night winding down chatting about anything that crossed their minds. Including a certain pink troll.

Summary
Ever since the start of BroZone Spruce had been known as the heartthrob. And while that had been a title that he had worn with pride at the very earliest years of the band, these days he had mixed feelings.
Very mixed feelings.
Something about all the constant pressure to perform, work out, look good, and all was getting to him. He could feel it in the way he could feel his irritation growing at his brother John Dory with each passing day. He’d even given back his glasses that John gave him when they were kids, hoping his only older brother would get a clue. A clue that Spruce was mad at him. Which of course didn’t work out. Because now Bitty B had glasses which defeated the purpose of what he was trying to express but who was he kidding Bitty B was adorable in those glasses. And now said trolling was being handed off to Spruce for very important lessons that his brothers deemed only he could give:
Lessons on ways with the ladies.
And with a trolling as excitable as Branch he knew he’d have his hands full. And even if Spruce thought Bitty B was too young for this sort of thing maybe it would still be fun.

Summary
Within a month of his friends’ proposal, Kismet was born. It was the perfect name for their group, a word that dealt with fate and destiny, things that they all felt tied their friendship together. And while none of them had intentionally tried to create stereotypical roles to fall into like Branch remembered from his days in BroZone, as they developed their own unique style within the band, each member soon found their role both on stage and in public.
And while some made perfect sense, Branch couldn’t help but wonder if he was cut out for this. His friends are quick to reassure him that he definitely was.

Summary
For the longest time, John Dory and Spruce had both worn goggles and glasses respectively while performing in BroZone. They were the two that had started the band all those years ago and it was only fair they wore something special together that signified their bond. But that was years ago. Now that Clay, Floyd, and Baby Branch are in the band too, John Dory sadly finds that Spruce isn’t as interested in matching with him anymore.
In Clay’s words, it’s cringe.
So yeah, he’s pretty sad Spruce is getting rid of the glasses. But it seems there might be someone else who wants to wear glasses instead.
AKA I always thought it was weird that Spruce had similar glasses to Bitty B in that one album cover Branch was looking at in Trolls 3 so this is my explanation for it.

Summary
It had been three months since Branch had become friends with Hype, Trickee, Boom and Ablaze and everything was going surprisingly well. Branch did his best to split time between Poppy (his crush and current best friend) and hanging out with the guys. Hype, Trickee, Boom and Ablaze were happy to hang out just about anywhere, but the group usually met by the river or at Branch’s Bunker. His relationship with them was one he kept entirely separate from the one he had and friends he shared with Poppy. It was also one that gave way for a brand new opportunity.
Question was would he be ready to take it? Or would memories of the past hold him back once more?
