Chapter 1: The Sea Fair
On a happy and bouncy trolley, the Cup Bros poke their heads out of the vehicle while Elder Kettle stands behind them.
"Sea Fair! Sea Fair! Sea Fair!" the Cup Brothers shouted in excitement.
"Now, now, boys. We're almost to Inkwell Pier," said Elder Leaf.
"But how can we not keep still, Elder Kettle? There is the fishing tournament, seashell auctioning, seafood, beach merriment, ocean theme attractions, rides, and games," said Mugman.
"And let's not forget these sweet sailor outfits wearing. I hope we can look for treasure or go on a sea adventure," said Cuphead.
The Cup Brothers then reveal their cute matching sailor outfits but Cuphead's red and Mugman's blue.
"Well, I doubt about you not fun over there," said Elder Kettle.
"What are you going to do when we reach Sea Fair, Elder Kettle," Cuphead asks.
"Well, there are two rare seashells that you want to get during the Seashell Auction, and I want to get me some of that calamari platter."
"Elder Kettle, you know what happens when you eat calamari," said Mugman, disappointed.
"That's all in the past, Mugman. I'm sure my digestive system can handle it now."
"Okay, but if you get another boom-boom incident, you get an 'I told you so'."
"Oh, whatever. You're just like your mother. Too big on health."
Upon hearing the word 'Mother,' the Cup Bros begin to have a flashback in black and white. Cuphead and Mugman are six years old. They wear their pants, but they're in overalls. They held each other's hands and their parents', Herb Alan Cup and Mocha Latte Cappuccino Cup. Herb has a HEREND Princess Victoria Blue Tea Cup for a head, the eyes of Cuphead, and the nose of Mugman. He wears a blue coat, a red shirt, white gloves, brown pants, and yellow shoes. And Mocha has a TheFrenchBudgie Royal Stafford Red and Gold Vintage Teacup for a head, the eyes of Mugman, the nose of Cuphead, wear red lipstick and pretty big eyelashes. She wears a pink blouse, pale blue shirt, yellow high heels, and white gloves. The Cup Family were walking towards the Inkwell Pier for the Sea Fair. Upon arriving, the Cup Bros smiled when they spotted a stage performance of a pirate and sailor show. However, the Brothers can't see the show due to the crowd. But luckily, Herb puts Cuphead on his shoulders, and Mocha holds Mugman in her arms for them to see. Their parents smiled when the boys became giddy.
When the flashback ends, the Cup Brothers look upset before Elder Kettle pats their backs and says, "Now, boys. I know it's been a year since they moved into the clouds, but I'm sure they would love to see you stay as your happy selves. Okay?"
Hearing his comforting words, the Cup Bros respond with smiles, "Okay."
When the trolley stopped, it said, "Here we are, men. The Inkwell Pier."
When the boys and Elder Kettle got off, they were amazed to see so many rides, attractions, games, and ocean and sea-themed booths.
After Elder Kettle takes a deep breath, he says, "Ah, can you smell the sea air and excitement, boys."
After the boys take a deep breath, Mugman says, "Oh, yeah. I can smell it."
Then Cuphead added, "Yeah. Nothing beats that summer breeze with a hint of sea salt, seaweed, and seafood. I think I can smell the sushi and juice."
"You boys go have fun. And be careful."
"We will, Elder Kettle," said the Cup Brothers.
When Elder Kettle walked off, the Brothers said before running off, "SEA FAIR FUN!"
However, hiding behind a ticket booth, the Devil, King Dice, and Henchman are seen staring at the Cup Brothers.
"Hehe. That's what they think. They're in for Sea Fair Fear," said the Devil.
"Hey, Boss. I thought we were going to have a day off and have fun at the Sea Fair," said King Dice.
"Duh, yeah. I want to get on the Sea Serpent Coaster and eat some Conchas," said Henchman.
"Do you even know what Conchas are?"
"Duh, of course. They're seashell-shaped sweet bread in Spanish."
"Wow. That's pretty good."
"Oh, yeah. I need a break from all that chasing that Cup's Soul, anyway," said the Devil.
"That's the spirit, Boss. Besides, it's good for the health too."
"Alright, gentlemen. Let's go have some relaxing fun."
Then the three walk into the Sea Fair to have fun.
