◇ The One That Left ◇
Crickets were singing in the distance, hidden in the woods, away from their responsabilities.
Trolls were having a huge party tonight for Tiny Diamond's 2 months birthday, the music not so loud so it didn't bother the birthday boy who was already off to sleep now after the busy day. Around a table, some friends were chatting with each other with energy, the group including Queen Poppy, Princess Viva, Branch and the rest of the Brozone brothers. The children were gone and it now let place to some more adult conversations and activities... such as drinking.
At first it was fine, just talking about old memories and sharing funny stories; but some trolls didn't know when to stop filling up their glass, which could be acceptable to some point... yet a troll with such an emotional baggage like Clay taking another drink wasn't maybe the best idea.
Everyone was laughing, Clay had been talking none sense and well, Branch had understood that he was the type of the troll who would just let all the emotions take over when being drunk. Out of the group, him and John Dory had decided to stay away from the acohol to make sure no one would do anything stupid— when in reality, Clay probably should have been the one to not drink anything.
- AND THEN, Bruce giggled, still clear enough to be able to just spell out correct grammar, John Dory grounded us for a WHOLE month !
All the family laughed, Floyd and Bruce included, not seeing the akward giggle John Dory gave back to them in response... it was well deserved, wasn't it ? And Clay well, he was fine–
.... until he was not.
- YEAH !! And then that's when he started to call me BANANA HAIR !!
The group was still laughing, but not so enthusiastically anymore; Clay wrapped his arm around Viva's shoulder for a side hug, getting his glass to bring it closer to his lips once again, barely able to hold it, shaking;
- YEah that gave me TRAUMA man !! Clay wheezed hard, which could almost be compared to strangled sobs.
Viva's pink eyes widened in shock as she looked over at the rest of the group. Branch who was sitting next to Poppy even sent a look toward John Dory to try and analyse the situation; this was indeed, deeply akward...
- Uhh... Clay, you good man ? Floyd questionned. 
Clay laughed; chasing some tears;
- YEAH ! He jumped; What ? Who said that ? he looked around to see who had spoke up with his voice, OH OH !! He suddendly pointed his drink toward Bruce, You guys remember when John Dory wouldn't play with us because he was bUsY trying to bE pErFecT, He did his best big brother impression.
