"Of course, I'm stressed!" John Dory said, exasperated. "It's the first show of the tour. We have to hit the Perfect Family Harmony. We promised the fans!"

Floyd patted the air with both hands. "Calm down," he whispered. "You're making Baby Branch nervous."

John Dory looked over at Baby Branch who was super anxious. His expression softened seeing his baby. "Right. It's his first show." John said.

"I'll talk to him," Floyd stated. He went over to his youngest brother and bent down. "Hey, Baby Branch. How you feelin'?"

Baby Branch clutched his stomach. "I feel like I'm gonna barf and pass out."

"And pee your pants all at once?" Floyd finished.

"How did you know?" Branch asked.

"You got the preshow jitters," Floyd said, patting him reassuringly. "It's totally normal. Everyone gets them. Know what I do when I get them?"

"Barf, pass out, and pee your pants?" Baby Branch guessed.

Floyd chuckled. "I remember that I'm with my brothers and that when we come together, there's nothing we can't do."

The stage manager announced that the show was starting in ten seconds. "If we can't hit the Perfect Family Harmony, we aren't perfect," John Dory insisted. "And if we aren't perfect, we're NOTHING! Being nothing is not an option. So just follow my lead." He stuck his hand out, palm down. "Let's do this!"

Each of his brothers piled their hands on top of his. Together, John Dory, Spruce, Clay, Floyd, and Baby Branch shouted, "IT'S BRO TIME!"

A smooth-voiced announcer spoke through the arena's loudspeakers. "Ladies and gentlemen! Here they are!" Thousands of fans cheered, clapped, and stomped their feet.

"The Heartthrob!" the announcer said, introducing Spruce.

Spruce walked onstage blowing kisses. Pop Trolls fans squealed with delight. Spruce was so dreamy!

"The Fun Boy!" said the announcer.

Then Clay popped out through the curtains doing his dance moves. The audience laughed and applauded. They thought he was hilarious no matter what he did.

"The Sensitive One!" Floyd entered slowly with both hands pressed against his heart.

The Trolls closest to the stage sighed, wishing they could take care of him and protect him from all the harsh things in the world.

"The Leader!" said the announcer. John Dory strode onstage, full of confidence and determination.

The audience cheered, ready to follow him wherever he wanted to take them.

"And making his first live appearance, the Baby!" Glitter burst over the stage, revealing Branch suspended on a wire.

"Awwww!" the whole audience said, charmed by the adorable sight.

BroZone rolled right into their first song.
