Brozone Brain Rot

The Massage (You scared us part 2)

Several months had passed since the passing out incident. Their lives had gone back to normal, well their new normal.

It was early October, the rest of the brothers trying to squeeze out some warmth before the cold of autumn hit by going to Vacay Island.

It was a slow day so Bruce had time to sit and chat, enjoying talking to his brothers. He had been planning a surprise for his older brother and was waiting for his moment to bring it up with the others.

John Dory left the table to go to the bathroom and check on Rhonda while he was up, Bruce taking this as his chance.

"Ok, I'm planning a surprise for John for his birthday. I'm booking him a spa day. The works, mud bath, massage, facial. Nothing that kind of facial Floyd ." Bruce said, gently scolding Floyd for the face he made at the mention of a facial.

"I'm surprised you even know what that is." Floyd mumbled, taking a sip of his drink.

"I have Internet, I'm not stupid, Floyd. I've learned a thing or two from adult films." Bruce said, purposely making it worse to watch Floyd's face go red.

"Ok, ok. Enough about.... that . Why are you telling us this? You want us to chip in?" Clay asked, also a bit red in the face.

"Nah, I can cover it. I'm telling you so you don't also plan something like that. It's probably gonna take almost all day and I didn't want to ruin anything else you guys planned." Bruce answered, leaning on the counter.

"Well I didn't have anything planned but I know Poppy is trying to plan something for him. I think he reminds her of me and just like with me, she's trying to force him out of his shell. It just might work." Branch jokes, swirling his drink before taking a sip.

"Well, tell her to schedule it for another day or something because that day is reserved already." Bruce said, pursing his lips. Branch nodded, finishing the last of his drink.

"So what's the plan besides the spa? I don't think any spas around here are gonna be any good for us with our size, you know?" Clay says as Bruce makes Branch another drink

"I never said it was a spa here. Believe me, they are not equipped for our size. It's a spa near the classical trolls, uh...., Symphonyville. That's the place. It's near there, like on the outskirts. Place has good reviews, very relaxing." Bruce answers, pulling up the spa on his phone.

"Johann Stress to-be-gone. Hmm? Yeah, nice." Clay reads a snippet of a review. Floyd pulls up the place on his own phone.

"Hmm. Says their massages are to die for, if you don't get one it's a tragedy. Weird choice of words but ok. Yeah this looks great Bruce, now your problem is getting him there." Floyd said, wearing an amused smirk.

"As much as I hate to say it, I already have the lie I plan to tell him ready." Bruce sighs.

"Well, I guess it's settled then. You get John for his birthday and we'll celebrate it later. And I have to make sure Poppy doesn't plan anything too strict, speaking of Poppy, she's calling me." Branch says standing up and walking away to take the call. His voice can be heard going soft and sweet for her.

The brothers snicker, before turning back to each other. The topic changes as John Dory comes back.

And just like that, the plan is set. Bruce comes up to Pop Village the week of John's birthday. The day of JD's birthday, Bruce told John that he had a surprise planned for John Dory. That excited John, this being the first birthday he had that was being properly celebrated.

Bruce drove Rhonda to the spa, JD excitedly asking what the surprise was. Bruce continued to lie to John, telling him it was an indoor obstacle course. The conversations were happy, chatting about this and that.
