In the Stadium of Volcano Rock City cheers could be heard, Cheers coming from the crowd of Trolls in the audience, a mixture of Trolls from various Cultures and Tribes who attended for one reason to Hear Queen Barb and her band play.
One the stage, the redhead Queen of Rock was wailing a solo on her guitar, running the tips of her fingers along the neck as she moved her left hand back and forth, tapping an amazing solo. This alone would have been applause-worthy but the pyrotechnics shooting out of the head of her guitar pushed it over the edge as she continued going crazy on her axe, swinging it down, cracking the instrument down the middle as she hit it on the floor, splitting the body from the neck as she swung again. Barb tossed the broken guitar in the audience, putting up the horns as flashpots shot up, showing the band. "THANK YOU! Goodnight! there will be no more encores!"
After the performance the Band was lounging in the Green Room, Barb was sitting on the couch, the head of Branch resting in her Lap as she looked down at her Bass playing Boyfriend, exhausted from the show as she handed him a bottle of water, pointing out it would help his voice as blue Troll took a sip.
In one of the chairs Carol, the band's keyboard player and rhythm guitarist was lounging, downing a can of cheese as was her usual hobby. Riff, The Drummer was walking back and forth massaging his wrists which were sore from drumming as a can of ointment flew towards him, thrown by Carol as Riff Caught it. he smiled, opening the can and rubbing the stuff on his wrists.
"That was a hell of a show" Barb praised, exhausted and taking a sip from Branch's water as she got up, moving her BF, claiming she was going to get something from the Stadium's food court to eat, asking Branch if he wanted anything.
"Nachos" the tired bass player requested curling on the sofa tired as Riff looked at Barb, adding He could use a hotdog.
"Well than, YOU can WALK down there get a hotdog" Barb responded as Carol got up, walking with him, claiming she had to use the toilet as the two walked off, leaving the Queen and her Boyfriend alone as Barb smiled looking down at Branch happily, claiming she would be right back.
Branch drifted off to sleep, the concert triggered the dream of a different concert, specifially a memory.
It was over 20 ago, back at the Troll Tree as a bunch of Stagehands were running around. Branch was standing watching the events unfold around Looking at the Troll tapping a pencil on his lips, planning out the setlist.
"Okay, hear me out, we move 'Baby Girl' after 'You're my Babe' and Open up with 'What a fine Woman' he asked before changing the setlist, happy with the set as he walked by another Troll, telling him to work on the crunches.
"I Wanna be able to cook an egg on the abs" John Dory, The Leader ordered as Spruce, The Heartthrob took a deep breath, claiming if it kept going he would be tired for the actual concert.
"John, Do I have to wear this" Clay, The Fun Boy asked, standing in a pair of breif as JD Nodded, claiming that they were his signature Funder-drawers,now with 67% more fun, instructing Clay to practice his Dance Moves. John continued instructing his siblings around as he felt a hand on his shoulder, belonging to second yougest, Flyod AKA 'The Sensitive One'.
Floyd only instructed John to Breathe as he was clearly stressed and being stressed before a big show could only spell trouble as John Dory huffed, thanking Floyd for pointing out what was obvious. It was the first concert of the New Tour, not only would they be showing off the new line up live but they would also end the night with a perfect family Harmony, something that had never been achived.
"We promised our fans a perfect show, and If we DON'T deliver, then we lied to them, which means we're nothing" John defended as Floyd could tell to back off, just asking JD to take it easy, while Branch had song on records before, it was his first LIVE performance.
John huffed, mumbling to himself as the younger brother approached the final member; The Baby, Branch who was hiding behind the curtain. Floyd managed to convince Branch to step out from behind the curtain, always the one to comfort his baby brother.
Floyd Looked at Branch, giving him the advice to stay calm and the confidence to go on stage. Despite being Baby, Branch knew the importance and Power of Perfect Harmony, it was said to be most powerful magic a Troll could use, though no one had ever actually done it, even having the power the shatter diamond, allegedly.
"Okay everyone we're on in one minute, we can do this, just remember... FOLLOW MY LEAD" JD repeated as the boys took a breath, if feeding JD's ego was what it took to hit Perfect Harmony, they were willing to do it for now. the crowd cheered as the five boys entered the Stage. The show seemed to go well, there were minimal problems and the few errors that did occur were quickly corrected. This could be attributed to BroZone's ability to work as a unit.
They had just finished up 'Girl, You Broke My Heart but I think We Should Get Together and Talk About It Because I Still Love You Baby' as they were in a group huddle.
"We might Actually pull this off" Spruce commented, noticed that had not messed up as JD Smiled, that's what happens when you Follow my lead. Okay, let's bring it home Bros" JD Said turning on his Ear Mic, addressing the Trolls in the audience.
"Trolls, Tonight prepare to be amazed as we, BroZone will make Boyband History. Tonight, WE will be the first Trolls to achieve Perfect Harmony" JD called out, basking in applause.
"Here's a New Song, never before Heard, feel free to pick up the single after the Show" Spruce Called out, flexing his abs as multiple Trolls in the audience fainted.
"We Hope you Like it, It's Called 'Perfect' written for tonight" Floyd added.
The performance actually went off well. everyone step was matched, every note was hit, and the brothers started glowing, which was when everything went wrong. JD Felt the Performance wasn't 'Perfect' enough and changed the choreography on the spot, pissing off the band as the fumbled the final note. Everything after that was a disaster as the brothers, minus Branch were hanging from vines.
"Is this part of the Show" a young Pink troll with blond hair, asked her father who was watching, knowing her Daughter was an avid BroZone Fan, he rubbed his chin.
"I Don't Think so Viva" Peppy replied as the young Princess looked at the stage confused at what happened.
Back in the Family pod JD was Throwing a fit, claiming the show failed because they did not follow his instructions. the which Clay roasted him for changing the choreography on the spot without even telling them, THAT was what messed them up.
"We followed your orders exactly and it was working but then you pull this change out of nowhere that was what did it" Spruce shot back. Clay chipped in reminding JD they started BroZone because they enjoyed singing together, adding it wasn't even fun anymore. The continued arguing until Spruce threw his puffer on the ground quitting, Clay followed suit, throwing his Funder-Drawers in John's face as they both left.
Eventually John Dory huffed out, quitting it, as he pulled a grappling hook, zipping out of the Pod. Only Branch and Floyd were Left.
"It was fault... wasn't it?" Branch asked, blaming himself as it was his first show. in his mind he must have been the reason it happened. Floyd simply comforted him, Telling Branch he did NOTHING wrong. He told Branch that JD, Spruce and Clay were just heated, they would come around but maybe it was best they took some time for themselves.
"You're not leaving too, are you Floyd?" Branch asked as the pink-haired boy looked at his brother, trying to find the right words to say for a Branch that he wouldn't be gone forever but he had to follow his heart, which was telling Floyd to go solo for a while, grabbing a white guitar, looking at his baby brother.
"Branch I have a very important Job for you" Floyd added, instructing the Baby to take care of their Grandmother, as he was the man of the pod. Flyod promising he would be right back as Branch watched his last brother leave.
"Branch, Branch... Branch!" the blue Troll heard opening his eyes, seeing Barb standing Infront of him holding the tray of Nachos we wanted. she apologized for waking him, but the show was over, and it was time to head home.
Branch shook his head, collecting his thoughts as he walked with Barb, leaving the stadium. whenever they walked together it got attention as they were literally the Power Couple of Volcano Rock City. Since it became public news that Barb and Branch were officially dating.
While Barb was uncomfortable about emotion, she was not ashamed of being seen with Branch, anyone who had a problem could get a taste of her fist to their jaw. She Loved Branch and at times was known to be a little overprotective of her man. They headed back to Skull Castle as Barb grabbed Branch by the vest, pulling him into a Kiss.
"You know you're welcome to spend the night with me...again" Barb flirted as Branch smiled but turned her down, claiming he was tired. Barb understood, kissing Branch goodnight as she retreated back into her room.
Once Barb was alone she walked over to her desk, covered in CDs, pens and a cup of some sort of drink. Bard reached over finding a small balck box, holding it as it clicked up. Inside was a silver ring shaped like a skull with red gems in the eye sockets, Barb admired the rig she had custom made. This was not any normal ring. This was the ring She was going to use to propose to Branch.
Barb, despite being so forward and unashamed of being affectionate with Branch, froze up when she thought about giving him the Ring. As the Sitting Queen of Rock and a member or the Royal Family proposing was HER duty when selecting a partner and she knew she wanted Branch, but it was a question of finding the right time. she plopped on her huge bed, adorned with fur sheets.
There was always tomorrow
