Summary
For the longest time, John Dory and Spruce had both worn goggles and glasses respectively while performing in BroZone. They were the two that had started the band all those years ago and it was only fair they wore something special together that signified their bond. But that was years ago. Now that Clay, Floyd, and Baby Branch are in the band too, John Dory sadly finds that Spruce isn’t as interested in matching with him anymore.
In Clay’s words, it’s cringe.
So yeah, he’s pretty sad Spruce is getting rid of the glasses. But it seems there might be someone else who wants to wear glasses instead.
AKA I always thought it was weird that Spruce had similar glasses to Bitty B in that one album cover Branch was looking at in Trolls 3 so this is my explanation for it.

Summary
Ever since the start of BroZone Spruce had been known as the heartthrob. And while that had been a title that he had worn with pride at the very earliest years of the band, these days he had mixed feelings.
Very mixed feelings.
Something about all the constant pressure to perform, work out, look good, and all was getting to him. He could feel it in the way he could feel his irritation growing at his brother John Dory with each passing day. He’d even given back his glasses that John gave him when they were kids, hoping his only older brother would get a clue. A clue that Spruce was mad at him. Which of course didn’t work out. Because now Bitty B had glasses which defeated the purpose of what he was trying to express but who was he kidding Bitty B was adorable in those glasses. And now said trolling was being handed off to Spruce for very important lessons that his brothers deemed only he could give:
Lessons on ways with the ladies.
And with a trolling as excitable as Branch he knew he’d have his hands full. And even if Spruce thought Bitty B was too young for this sort of thing maybe it would still be fun.

Summary
When Clay had been a little trolling, he had received a dictionary for his birthday. His brothers Johnny and Spruce had given to him, and even though Grandma thought he was a little too young to get a book as a present, Clay took time every day to read his favorite book, learning as many words as he could and using them in front of his very impressed big brothers.
“You’re so smart Clay!” Spruce would say.
“We’re so proud of you little bro,” John Dory would say, ruffling his wild hair.
And back then, being smart and silly had been the highlights of Clay’s personality, things all his brothers praised him for. But things were different now. Clay was a teenager now. And while he used to love being funny, these days it just wasn’t the same.
No one took him seriously.
Whenever he tried to be smart, whenever he tried to use his knowledge to better BroZone, it was overlooked, and Clay found himself feeling unseen. Being the “Fun One” of BroZone had used to be just that: fun. But now it left him feeling like no one saw him for all that he was anymore. Well, almost no one as he would soon find out on a certain little trolling’s birthday.

Summary
Branch doesn’t remember everything about the past, especially about the earliest days of his life. Those memories are faded, the words washed away to leave behind only feelings of warmth, safety and love. It leads him to leaning more on his still secure toddler memories whenever he wants to recall his brothers John Dory, Spruce, Clay and Floyd. He remembers their smiling faces, the way they loved and encouraged him. Those memories were still vibrant and easy to understand.
But in the land of dreams exceptions could be made.
In the land of dreams Branch could feel their love from any year, from any time. Even if the memory went away when he awoke, those feelings always remained. Branch could always take solace in that. Which he did for over two decades.
But things were different now. Because they were here now.
John Dory, Bruce, Clay and Floyd.
His brothers are home.
