Chapter one

It had been a few weeks since his younger brother had found his plushie and Cuphead was simply sitting in his bedroom while staring at the plushie in his hands with a thoughtful expression.

'I wonder how he's doing...' he thought with a thoughtful frown, wondering of what had happened to his old friend for a few minutes before groaning and buried his face into the pillow while holding the plushie close to his chest. He was simply motionless on the bed for three minutes before quickly sitting up, 'I should find my way back to that place to see if he's still there' he thought, slightly doubtful that his friend might still be there or simply 'gone'.

Quickly making up his mind, Cuphead got off the bed while gently placing the plushie on the bed and walked to his closet. 'I'll go tomorrow night' he thought with a slight nod.

(Next Day)

"You sure you don't want to come Cuphead?" Mugman asked his older brother as he was fastening his scarf while the other brother was sitting on the couch, looking over him.

"Naw, I'll just stay and relax a bit" Cuphead said with a small laugh and slightly waving at his younger brother, "You go have fun with Maria" Cuphead said before slightly snickering when he saw Mugman lightly blushing.

"W-Whatever y-you say then, I won't be out too late" Mugman quickly said while giving his brother a smile before stepping out.

'That should be enough time' Cuphead thought with a smile as he sat on the couch for a few minutes before quickly launching himself off of the couch and towards the small cupboard underneath the stairs and opened it. "Don't worry Mugman, I won't be out long" Cuphead mutter out as he grabbed the backpack before grabbing a black-and-red sweater, putting it on and silently walked out, making sure to not wake Elder Kettle.

Once outside, he could see the sun starting to set and was glad that he packed a flashlight if it gets too dark and started walking towards the same woods that he got lost in when he was younger, letting his feet take him as he started to get lost in his thoughts.

'Will he remember me? Hopefully he's been doing well since the last time I saw him...o-or maybe he's...' his thoughts trailed off, not wanting to believe that his friend might not be around anymore but he quickly pushed that thought down, firmly believing that his friend was still alive.

He was soon brought out of his thoughts when he heard someone calling out his name and quickly stopped walking before looking back to see one of the residents, Cagney.

"H-Hey Cagney" Cuphead quickly greeted the other with a slight nervous smile, hoping that the flower wouldn't ask. "Mm...hello Cuphead, where are you heading to?" Cagney asked while raising his eyebrow questioningly.

"Um...j-just going to explore the woods" Cuphead quickly answered with a bigger grin, 'Please stop asking' he soon thought.

Cagney stared down at him for a few more minutes before slightly humming, "Well, have fun then" he said, still staring at him with a suspicious glint.

"T-Thanks!" Cuphead quickly said before turning around and forcing himself to walk away instead of running while feeling the other's stare on his back. 'At least he didn't ask me why'

Soon enough Cuphead got out of the other's view and let out a sigh of relief, 'His stares are always so scary' he thought before continuing walking until he finally made it to the edge of the woods.

He could slightly feel his heart skip a beat, though he doesn't know if it was from fear or anticipation, but he ignored it before stepping into the woods and started to rely on his memory to find his way to his destination.

(Twenty minutes later)

'I think I see it' Cuphead thought as he was using the light from his flashlight to see the pathway in front of him, catching sight of something at the distance.

He quickly felt a feeling of deja vu and soon started running towards the building, still being careful of his steps to not trip.

Cuphead started to grin, "It still look the same" he commented as he remembered that he enter through a broken window, but he couldn't enter it because it was too small.

"Maybe there's another way inside" he said as he started walking along the edge with his right hand against the wall. Luckily it only took five minutes when he found a broken down door and was super lucky that it wasn't boarded up and unlocked so he grabbed the doorknob, but not opening it yet.

'Why am I feeling nervous?' he thought as he felt his heart beating fast from nervousness and started to take deep breath to calm himself down. 'Nothing bad will happen Cuphead' he thought, trying to reassure himself before turning the knob and swinging the door open and soon stepped inside the building.

The next chapter is where everything will slowly pick up so yeah
