Quite the Cherry Cuphead
10/7/2017
It was another happy day in Inkwell Isle for the two cup brothers. Their home was peaceful after they defeated the Devil and burned the soul contracts, but never heard or seen him or King Dice ever since. But today, all thoughts of that were pushed aside for the brothers as today they decided to see how their ex-foes are doing. Mugman went on his own to see the beautiful Cala Maria while Cuphead went to visit Baroness Von Bon–Bon.
It didn't take him long to reach the Candy Land-like area of the Inkwell Isle as he treads on the pink sugary ground of the Baroness' homeland. Many of the candy creatures that resided there recognized Cuphead, but no longer as an enemy since of the good deed he and his brother did for the Baroness. "Good morning Cuphead!" the Gumball Machine Man greeted him with a friendly smile. "What're you doing here?" Cuphead smiles back, "I was just wondering where the Baroness is," Cuphead said. "My brother and I just wanted to make amends with the other residents so there are no hard feelings upon us from what we've done."
"I understand, and I forgive you and your brother," the Gumball Machine Man said. "But the Baroness might forgive you and your brother. The Devil has been and might always be a bully. Before you boys came here, the Devil has treaded our land for many years, preying on us small and powerless residents for our souls. We all fell for the same bait you two boys did, and we ran and hid from the Devil so he couldn't collect our debt. It's a miracle that you two were so willing to stand up from your fears and save us all from him."
Cuphead smiles generously, "and I'm glad we did. But if he ever shows up again, Mugs and I will give him a what for. But about the Baroness?" The Gumball Machine Man thought for a minute. "I don't know what she's doing, or where she is. Honestly, I have no idea what a Baroness does. You might have to wait until she shows up, but in the meantime, let me show you around." Cuphead didn't mind, the candy place was a sight for sore eyes and he did want to see more of the place after they fought the Baroness. So he follows the G.M.M (Gumball Machine Man) around, and the place was so beautiful. There were lollipops that looked like flowers, giant cakes that made up as mountains, and they even had a chocolate waterfall that spilled into a large spring that extended into a river that flowed through the area. But Cuphead didn't eat any of the candy goods because he didn't want to upset anyone if ate something, he mostly looked at anything they came across.
"Cups?" the boy heard his name and turned his head to the G.M.M.
"Yes?" Cuphead asks.
"Are you okay?" the G.M.M asks. "You hardly touched anything."
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to show respect to your land. I just didn't want to offend anyone from eating the property," Cuphead admits. "But mostly I don't want the Baroness to be upset at me." The G.M.M nods understandingly, "I see," he says. "It seems you're the first outsider to say that. Usually, when outsiders come here, mostly children, they eat anything in sight like little pigs. And they're very bratty too with very rude behavior. So we had to kick them out and repair the damage they caused. But I know you're not like them, Cuphead. You and your brother are special."
Cuphead smiled appreciatively. "In fact, you're so special that I'm willing to let you try something. Anything you want, I'll let you eat it," the G.M.M adds. The boy looks around the area before pointing to a chocolate tree that had pink and red leaves with something brown dangled from the branches. "Ah, the Truffula Tree. Yes, a very special specimen of our land, good choice," the G.M.M said before they walked to the tree.
When they were closer, Cuphead climbed the tree and looked at the truffles that were dangling from the branches. All of them were coated in either milk, dark or white chocolate in various shapes and sizes, but Cuphead wanted a special one, so he kept looking. Soon he found a semi-circle dark chocolate truffle with small thin yet red icing lines on it, so he picked it and then ate it. The dark chocolate crushed between his teeth and a cherry filling oozed out, spilling on his tongue as Cuphead enjoyed the flavor. The toon jumped down from the tree and landed a few feet in front of the G.M.M with the Baroness a few feet behind the G.M.M.
Cuphead smiles in delight as the Baroness looked happy, so he kneels before her. "Good afternoon, Baroness Von Bon–Bon," Cuphead said politely. The Baroness looked flattered. "Good afternoon to you too, you little charmer," the Baroness said politely, patting Cuphead's rim of his cup head and his face immediately blushed red. "So what're you doing here, buttercup?" she asked Cuphead.
"I–I just came here to apologize for the trouble I put you through while trying to collect your soul contract, and that–" Cuphead said, stammering a little but was interrupted by a kiss on the lips by the Baroness which caused his blush to take over his face. "Say no more, I forgive you and your brother. But I'm sorry for trying to shoot you, and I also thank you both for burning my contract," the Baroness said. "Y–you're welcome," Cuphead stammers bashfully, and then the Baroness gently took Cuphead's hand. "Come on, Buttercup, let's go to my castle. I have a bunch of candies that I'm dying for you to try." Cuphead smiles at the Baroness as they walked, then looks over his shoulders and mouths 'thank you' to the G.M.M. And he smiles, giving Cuphead a nod.

Part 2? Maybe.
But I am sorry for the so called "Updated Chapter" to BatB–LBS! I was in depression and was desperate, but I no longer am. But I am glad that the 2017 Beauty and the Beast is now on Netflix so I can continue my work on the next BatB–LBS. Also I do want your opinion though; I have posted a poll on my Fanfiction profile if I should continue because I am thinking of posting a Kingdom/West of Loathing story featuring my KoL character and Markiplier's WoL character. But no romance though. The story will be on both my Fanfiction and DA websites.
But starting today, ending next Saturday, the poll will be up. And I will post a new poll saying if I should post Kingdom/West of Loathing stories on my Fanfiction and DA pages, as well as drawing K/WoL art on my DA. Happy Voting.
P.S: I love Grammarly!
Update (10/8/2017)- Wow, you guys must really like it, I'm impressed. But don't worry, I am planning to make a Part 2 and a story for Mugman and Cala Maria.
