This story takes place before the big escape from the troll tree, during the time when brozone was very popular. One day, a big fight broke out between John Dory and his brothers, which made him so upset he blurted out "I wish I wasn't in this dumb family anymore!" Storming off to his room. Later into the night, he notices a shooting star outside his window and decides to make a wish he will soon regret. "I wish I lived a life WITHOUT my brothers!" He goes to sleep thinking it wouldn't come true, because he always thought that wishing upon a shooting star wasn't real and that "wishes don't actually come true" After the wish came true and he realizes it was real, he questioned himself "Where are my brothers now that we are separated?" Each chapter focuses on the life of John Dory's brothers and how they are without him.
