And on it goes. You are welcome to guess what this chapter was inspired by ;)
What were Alicia's least favourite subjects at school?
- Chemistry, mathematics and physical education (or volleyball)
If the Devil actually considered about firing Stickler and if he takes up a job as a teacher at a university, would find any of his lectures boring?
-Probably something with laws where you sit in the office all the time. So political science or what his profession is already. Auditor
Any thoughts they might consider doing a Henchman plushy someday?
- Definitely
Alicia's favourite season?
-Winter and Autumn
Any favourite choices of destinations for Alicia's ideal vacation?
- Probably rather quiet areas so like mountains or forests and small towns. She would definitely want to go to Alaska as well as Norway.
Alicia's favourite choice of pizza toppings? And any least types of toppings she refuses to have
-Pineapple and Fish
To the one with the request. I think you have me confused with someone else. Sorry.
Until then
In the guest room Alicia and Cuppy sat on the still empty bed which they used either as a shelf or as a table to play Monopoly. Alicia was in the lead and had already bought some avenues while Cuppy had only two and didn't have much money left. He pondered and considered buying the house in the field where he was standing before rolling the dice. "Hmm..." he scratched the back of his head thoughtfully while Alicia waited patiently. "Yeah I'll buy the house here" Cuppy said, handing Alicia the matching money before placing a small red house on the field with Cuppy's figure still a hat on it. Alicia had chosen the car as the figurine.
"You do know that I won't get to you for another two moves?" she asked him. But Cuppy didn't mind. He rolled the dice and was able to skip the three avenues Alicia had bought without paying for them. She had to smile and rolled the dice when she landed on an empty alley that she bought immediately. Cuppy rolled the dice again and to his misfortune he landed on the very field where Alicia bought the new alley. With his $500, he couldn't pay enough and ended up in jail again. "You're good Alicia" Cuppy said as he looked to her "How come you're so good at Monopoly?" he asked her.
She looked at him. "Oh, that's because me and John and our cousins used to play it when we were at a family party," she explained, and was about to roll the dice when they heard noise coming from upstairs in the brothers' room. "What's going on now?" asked Cuppy annoyed as he got off the bed and was about to go out the door when it suddenly opened. "We need to lay down some ground rules if we're gonna be living in our room together!" said Mugman who came out of the door followed by Cuphead who just looked at him confused. "What kind of rules?" he asked him, confused. Alicia and Cuppy were only more confused than before and didn't even know what was going on. "Um Cups, Mugs what's up?" asked Alicia to the two who just stared venomously at each other before turning their faces to Alicia.
"Mugsy is once again exaggerating nothing more" Cuphead said loosely which made Mugman even angrier. "You want me to exaggerate?!" he asked him, getting in his brother's face. "I've told you a hundred times to leave my books alone and not draw in them!" said Mugman annoyed as Cuphead pushed him away "And I've told you a hundred times not to touch my stuff!" growled Cuphead. Both were about to fight with themselves when Alicia and Cuppy separated them from each other so that the quarrel would not escalate. But the two continued to argue "Thank God I don't snore through my nose when I sleep!" said Cuphead. "At least I wash my clothes once in a while!" said Mugman and took out of his pocket a red sock that stinks extremely. "Washing clothes is a waste of time!" said Cuphead before getting his sock in his face.
But this statement bothered Mugman more than it should have. "Blah, blah, blah" he said with his head swaying back and forth "All right if you blah blah one more time...". Of course Mugman couldn't help himself and blah blah again. "Okay, that's it, that's the final straw!" Cuphead said annoyed. "Oh really, I thought you said that last time" said Mugman with a pout. Alicia and Cuppy just shook their heads. "Maybe we shouldn't share a room anymore" said Mugsy. "Okay then..." Cuphead mused "Well, maybe we shouldn't!". "Fine by me!" said Mugman "Double fine by me!" said Cuphead. But then the question remains who keeps the room and who moves out and sleeps somewhere else. Both looked at the third empty bed Alicia and Cuppy were sitting on and agreed. "Problem solved! I'll move in here!" both brothers said at the same time.
"What? Why do you automatically get the bed?" the two said at the same time, not noticing that Elder Kettle was standing behind them. "Wait a second" Elder Kettle walked into the guest room and stands between the two brothers. "So you both want this bed, huh?" both brothers nodded. "I guess I'll give it to..." his gaze moved from Cuphead to Mugman who both nodded respectively. "Whichever one of you I like more" he explained and walked out of the guest room. But before he walked completely out of the room he dropped his left shoe and waited to see what would happen. "Uh oh. Looks like I lost one of my shoes!". Both brothers looked at the shoe and then at eachother before struggling to get Elder Kettle's shoe "Give it to me!" the two said as they pulled on the shoe. Elder Kettle looked at his watch and realized it was time to prepare lunch. "To the kitchen!" he said and the two brothers still fighting over the shoe followed him, leaving Alicia and Cuppy confused.
They both ran after the two brothers before they could enter the kitchen "Whoa. I don't know boys" said Alicia as she stood in front of the two. "We don't have as much space in the guest room as we do in your room". "Maybe you two should appreciate what you got" said Cuppy but both brothers ignored it and ran into the kitchen while the two were still holding the shoe and fighting over it. "Elder Kettle!", "I gotta have that room!". Once in the kitchen, Elder Kettle tried to explain to them how it was going to go down. Both brothers were still bickering, but they listened to their godfather. "All right boys, here's how it's gonna go down" both brothers looked to him "Whoever sucks up the hardest, gets the empty bed in the guest room" he explained to them both.
Mugman did not agree. "Elder Kettle, we're not going to suck up to you just to get the bed from the Guest room" but Cuphead disagreed. "Yeah, we are!" he said while Mugman stared at him in annoyance. "Ten suck up points for Cuphead!" said Elder Kettle which made Cuphead very happy. But Mugman was not very pleased. "I mean, uh, yeah we are!" he chuckled nervously. But Elder Kettle was not satisfied with this. "Trying too hard. Minus 15 suck up points". "What?" Mugman was startled when he heard this. "Good decision, Elder Kettle," Cuphead said with a fake grin. "Trying way too hard! Plus 50 suck up points!".
"Now who wants to re-tile the roof?" he held a bucket of straw in his hands while looking at both brothers "In searing 105 degree heat!". Both brothers grabbed the bucket "Me! Me!", "Me! I'll do it!" said the two while Alicia and Cuppy didn't know what to say. "No, Mugsy! Give it here!" said Cuphead as he ran after his brother who was leaving the house with the bucket. "Ahh, Kettle, you're a good guardian" he said and took care of lunch. From the window behind him, both brothers were seen fighting over the bucket. "I'll kill you!" said Cuphead as he pulled on the bucket holding Mugman. "So much for not being able to enjoy our peace soon" said Alicia as she walked out of the kitchen with Cuppy. Both were always happy when they could retire to the guest room. But it looks like that was soon over.
Some time passed and both brothers took care of the lawn. The sun shines on the two brothers. Mugman stopped briefly to wipe away his sweat when he heard Elder Kettle and turned to him. "You're phoning it in!" said Elder Kettle who was sitting on his rocking chair outside watching the two at work. In his hand he held a bottle that said Fitz's Root Beer on it. "Ahh that's refreshing" he said as he took a big swig and leaned back. "Ten suck up points for this Root Beer". "Thank you, Elder Kettle" he said in a high pitched voice. "Oh, ho! Ten more for politeness". He took another sip "Oh, and so sweet" Alicia and Cuppy who came back from shopping and heard the whole thing were more than disturbed about it. Well, I'm off to my room. She walked past him and wanted to forget the whole thing as quickly as possible.
Some time passed again as Mugman opened the door to the guest room and looked around. He was dirty from head to toe with engine oil. "All these chores will be worth it when I get this bed" he said and was about to put the toolbox down when he saw something under the bed. He put the toolbox down on the chair next to the desk and pulled out an old blue rug with a yellow line around the edge and a yellow circle in the middle with an arrow bending in the circle and pointing to the left. He placed the rug on the open space between Alicia's and the still empty bed and noticed that the rug is very soft. "Shag carpeting... come on!" He sat on Alicia's bed and took off his shoes while he walked on the carpet with his blue socks, not noticing that he was charging himself with electricity. He wanted to relax, but Cuphead was standing in the doorway with his arms crossed.
"Hey, brother. Don't get too comfortable" he said as Mugman turned to him "I just made Elder Kettle an omelet shaped like his own face". In the kitchen, Elder Kettle sat at the table and looked at his omelet that looked like himself. Well, almost like himself. "I have seen the face of beauty" he said and cut a piece of the omelet while Alicia and Cuppy continued to enjoy their meal. "Face it. I'm like a suck up ninja!" said Cuphead as he stood on the carpet laughing. Mugman circled him and walked around the carpet with his socks on. "This bed's as good as mine!" said Cuphead victoriously. "You might as well give up now" Cuphead said as Mugman continued to walk, not noticing that he was continuing to electrify himself with the carpet. "What do you say?". "I say, I'm gonna win this bed somehow, and when I do I'll finally have my own space, and we'll never have to share anything ever again!" Mugman stopped in front of him and rubbed his sleeve, which was also charging electrically, before slapping Cuphead's hand away from him.
But both got an electric shock so strong that they flew away from each other. Cuphead got up again and rubbed his head. "Ugh... What happened?" he asked in the voice of Mugman. Mugman also stood up and rubbed his cheek as he looked confusedly at his brother until he realized something was wrong. "Mugsy? Why are you wearing my clothes?". He held his face tightly "And my...face!?". Both brothers had swapped bodies through the carpet and were in each other's bodies. Only their voices were in each other's. Cuphead's voice was heard from Mugman's body and vice versa. "Am I in my your body?" Cuphead asked as he looked down at his gloves that belonged to Mugman. They both looked at each other before they started screaming.
You could see the panic in the eyes of the two who did not want this to happen. Cuphead, who was in Mugman's body, ran to the mirror and hoped it was just a bad dream, while Cuphead, in Mugman's body, ran to the bathroom to throw up in the toilet. Unfortunately it was not a dream but reality. "Get out! Get out!" Cuphead said as he punched himself in the stomach several times. "This isn't happening. This isn't happening. This isn't happening" said Mugman as he crouched in the corner, rocking back and forth as he saw the shadow of his brother, or rather himself, still screaming.
Both calmed down after a while and stood in front of the mirror as they looked at each other. "Great, just what we need. A carpet that can switch our bodies!" said Mugman in Cuphead's body. "This is stupid! Sharing a room was bad enough" said Cuphead in Mugman's body as they looked at each other. "Now we're sharing bodies?" he points to himself. "Ugh, this nose is too small!" Mugman touched his now small nose with which he was not satisfied. "It's like my body hates me!". The straw in his head was spinning, which he noticed. "And why is the Straw bend?" he asked, playing around with it. "I wanna know why you're nose is so big and awkward" asked Cuphead.
His eyes fell on a label attached to the carpet. "Hey, look!". Mugman looked to him as Cuphead read the label. "Experiment 78!" he flipped it over "Electron carpet." "Atoms can swap electrons" said Mugman. "This carpet must build up a static charge so powerful it can swap minds". Cuphead was confused. "It was the static electricity. Maybe we could use it to switch back!" explained Mugman as he thought. Both of them still wanted to fight for the bed. "Phew. Oh, oh! Glad I'm switchin' back" he chuckled nervously, which confused Mugman. "If I were you, I would totally lose the contest" he said, moving Mugman's arms as if they were noodles. "And if I was you, which I am..." Mugman was silent for a moment until he had an idea. "I could sabotage myself!" that pleased him all the more. "Then Cuphead would lose all his points and the bed would go to Mugman!".
"Wait, what?" Cuphead asked, confused. "Oh, Elder Kettle! I've always hated you!" exclaimed Mugman, which Cuphead did not like. He would lose his points as well as the bed. "Ha ha! See who he gives the bed to now!" said Mugman and ran out of the room. "No! Wait!" yelled Cuphead as he ran after him. But the open shoelace on his left foot prevented him from following his brother any further. "Tie your shoes!". In the kitchen Elder Kettle was enjoying the rest of the omelet "Mmm...those cannibals are onto something" he said looking at the last morsel of the omelet while Alicia and Cuppy looked at him confused and slightly disturbed. "I taste delicious!" he said and was about to eat it when Cuphead walked in to the kitchen.
He looked at Elder Kettle, slightly annoyed, which confused Alicia and Cuppy. "What's the word, Cuphead?" Elder Kettle asked him. "That's right! It's me, ugh, Cuphead!" he said. But what Elder Kettle didn't hear, but Alicia and Cuppy did, was the voice of Mugman coming from Cuphead's body. Um, what's going on here? She looked at her glass of orange juice before looking at Cuphead. "If you like that omelet, you'll love this" From his pocket he took out a sandwich covered with stones instead of sausage and cheese slices. "A sandwich made out of rocks! Elder Kettle looked to the side and took the sandwich as he asked what kind of rocks it was. "Regular rocks!" said Cuphead with a nasty smile. Elder Kettle was not amused and put the sandwich on the table. The corners of his mouth were lowered.
"Keep that up, and I'll be giving your brother the bed" he pointed at him which made Mugman very happy "Ha ha!" he fell silent when he noticed that everyone was looking at him confused "I mean...darn!". "Hey, Elder Kettle!" everyone looked to the door where Mugman was standing. Why does Mugman sound like Cuphead and the other way around? Alicia was confused. "Your face looks like a butt!" said Cuphead in Mugman's body. "What?!" asked Elder Kettle as steam came out of his nose."Breaking stuff is so much fun!" sang Cuphead as he slammed down the bowl of fruit in Mugman's body. "I am Mugman and I stink!" with his foot he kicks away an empty bottle. This made Elder Kettle even angrier as he slowly turned red. "Cuphead's gone bananas!". Elder Kettle, Alicia and Cuppy looked at Cuphead who was now standing on the table holding a cereal box over his head. "Bing! Zow! Ba-low!" he said as the contents fell out of it.
"Um am I in the wrong movie here?" asked Alicia as she and Cuppy looked confusedly at Cuphead while Elder Kettle was a little scared. "Well, this is getting weird" he said and walked out of the kitchen. Cuphead and Mugman stopped fooling around when they saw Elder Kettle leave the kitchen. "Wait! Are you gonna dock Cuphead points?" asked Mugman. "Mugman should lose all his points!" yelled Cuphead after him. The latter was about to run when Mugman jumped on him in Cuphead's body. Both of them followed him, leaving Alicia and Cuppy confused.
Once in the guest room, the two noticed the carpet. Since Alicia had no shoes on, she walked on the carpet with her socks and charged electrically. Cuppy noticed the label and walked over to it. "What does it say?" asked Alicia as she approached him and both also got an electric shock that switched their bodies. Alicia was now in Cuppy's body while he was in hers. "Um what happened now?" asked Alicia as she looked down at her hands and noticed she was wearing white cartoon gloves. Cuppy was also confused when he had five fingers instead of four. "Why don't I have my gloves on and all of a sudden I have five fingers?" they both looked at each other and couldn't believe it. "Did we...", "switch our bodies?". Alicia was about to faint while Cuppy looked at herself in the mirror.
"This is not good, this is not good at all!" said Alicia as she jumped off the bed. That she was now smaller took some getting used to. "How can we switch our bodies?" asked Cuppy as he walked onto the carpet in Alicia's body and touched her. The electrical charge caused the two of them to swap bodies again and they were relieved about it again. But unfortunately it was also so strong and both exchanged bodies again. Only Alicia flew out of the open window in Cuppy's body. Not far from the cottage appeared the devil and King Dice hiding behind a bush and waiting for the right moment. "When Alicia and the cups come out, we'll grab them," he said. "But isn't a cup still wearing that sweater?" asked King Dice nervously, "That's why I took you along. I want you to take that sweater off him!" he said as the two watched Cuppy fly out the window and rub his head.
Meanwhile, Mugman searched for Elder Kettle in Cuphead's body "Elder Kettle, come back! I have more terrible things to do!" he shouted but Elder Kettle did not answer him. "You're toast Cuphead!" he shouted "That bed's as good as mine!" he said victoriously. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. He went to the door and opened it. Behind it were Bowlboy and Bulbface. "There you are, Cuphead!" said Bowlboy as he walked into the house with Bulbface. "Attack him with love!" said Bulbface as he and Bowlboy hugged Mugman. "Um what are you guys doing here?" he asked confused. "Well, what to talk to you about the project?" said Bulbface as he showed him a poster that came from a Boy Scout troop in which the two brothers are members. Well, Mugman is a member. Cuphead is not anymore. "And to talk about it in peace we decided to spend the night at your place". "What!? No no no!" said Mugman as the three ran upstairs with Cuphead following them. "Hey wait, come back!" but the others ignored him and closed the bedroom door.
"Hey! Could I talk to my brother for a sec?", "This is a conversation for former members!" said Bowlboy as he opened and closed the door. But Cuphead could look through the keyhole and observe what the three were doing. "Look guys, I'm not really in a mood right now for this project" said Mugman. But the others ignored him. "Come on, we've been planning this for weeks to get revenge on the leader and now you want to run away with your tail between your legs?" Bowlboy asked him. "Come on the Leader's Diary aren't going to read themselve!" Bulbface said as he held the diary in his hands. Cuphead watched the whole thing and did not notice that Elder Kettle was watching him. "What's goin' on Mugman?" he asked him. He gasps. "Ahh... you're at that creepy age where you spy on girls huh?".
Cuphead was confused because it wasn't the guest room or was it? No, it was the room of him and his brother. "Um no there are no girls in there Elder Kettle!" said Cuphead as he shook his hands and sweated with nervousness. "Oh, and this drawing here?" he asked, holding a notepad with a picture of a mermaid kissing Mugman. "Guess it's time you and me had a man-to-man talk about the birds and the bees, ya know". Cuphead was not very happy about this and actually wanted to leave already. But Elder Kettle pushed him into his room when he took out a book with a boy on it who was sweating. The title of the book is "Why am I sweaty? Cuphead looked from the book to Elder Kettle who was grinning happily at him. "I...I should really be going..." he said nervously and was about to jump off the chair when Elder Kettle stopped him. "No way out of it!" he said and opened the book.
"Look, it all begins with this little fella, the pituitary gland" he pointed to a drawing that showed a human being with various organs. Elder Kettle pointed to the brain. "He may be little, but he has big plans" he twitched his eyebrows as he said what made Cuphead scream. This was also heard by Alicia who was outside and stood up. "What was that scream?" she asked when she felt two people standing behind her. She turned around and flinched when she saw the devil and King Dice looking down at her from above. Normally she was used to it but now that she was even smaller it looked more scary than before. "Hello my little one, would you mind if we took your sweater off for a moment?" King Dice asked her. But before he could even think about getting closer to her Alicia was already gone. "Damn it, follow him!" said the devil.
Meanwhile, in Elder Kettle's bedroom, he closed the book but Cuphead was still distraught. "And now you know where babies come from," he explained. Cuphead was even more disturbed than before "Goodbye, childhood" he said softly. "You know, I find you more likable today than usual" said Elder Kettle which confused Cuphead. "Maybe you could still win that game after all" Elder Kettle said as he scratched his chin. "Huh?" asked Cuphead in confusion. "I was goona give that bed to Cuphead...", "No you should! Give it to Cuphead!" he interrupted Elder Kettle. The latter was confused when Mugman talked to him like that. "You big jerk!" he said. This didn't really please Elder Kettle and he looked at Mugman annoyed. "What did you say to me?" he asked as Cuphead continued to sweat inside Mugman's body. "I said, uh, shut up, old man! You're fat and dumb, and you're a dummy and take that!" he punched Elder Kettle lightly on the elbow.
This was not enthusiastic about it "Finally standing up to me, huh?" he asked him with a slightly angry look before he started laughing, which confused Cuphead even more. "I love it!" said Elder Kettle, slapping his hand on his knee while looking at Mugman. "You know, I've made up my mind." From his pocket, he retrieves a spare key connected to a wooden sign that read Guest Room II. "The bed belongs to you, Mugman" he said but Cuphead objected and said "You can't! You have to give it to Cuphead!" he said, but Elder Kettle hugged him. "Shh. You had me at shut up old man" Elder Kettle stroked him. This did not please Cuphead, so he screamed. But Mugman wasn't feeling too well either when they finished reading the diary of the leader of his scout troop. "Phew, thank goodness there's only one diary," he said with relief. "Nope we found his 14 other diaries!" said Bowlboy. Mugman screamed when he heard that.
Cuppy let me in please!" said Alicia as she knocked on the door in a panic. King Dice and the devil came closer and closer to her, which did not please Alicia very much. But luckily the door opened and she ran into the house before the devil and King Dice got closer. "Phew thanks!" she said as she looked to herself. "No problem" said Cuppy in Alicia's body still looking hypnotically at his five fingers. "We really need to switch our bodies again!" said Cuppy as he unintentionally transformed into Alicia's demon form. Both heard the whistle of Elder Kettle. Alicia reacted immediately and pushed herself and Cuppy into the guest room as she closed the door behind her. The latter was confused but thought nothing of it and went into the kitchen. Just in time the devil and King Dice entered the house and went to the guest room door. Fortunately, Alicia was back in her body. "Open the door my dearest Alicia" said the devil as he tried to open it but Cuppy held it so that he could not open it.
"This is the plan" said Bowlboy as he laid a blueprint of the event hall on the floor. "We'll place the trap here so the leader can..." both noticed Cuphead wasn't with them. The latter ran downstairs and was about to catch his breath when he realized that he was supposed to sabotage his brother and started calling for Elder Kettle. "Hey Elder Kettle It's me, Cuphead!" he ran around the living room "I'm doing things you hate! "Um what?" asked a voice Mugman knew and feared. Only now he saw the devil and King Dice slowly approaching him. "Well, well, well, I guess I can get the soul from that one cup that easy!" he said and grabbed Cuphead's soul. But instead he pulled out Mugman's soul, which confused him. The soul went back into Cuphead's body.
"Since when is the other brother's soul in the body of this one, please?" the devil asked, confused. But Mugman ran to the guest room door and asked Alicia and Cuppy to let him in. "Yeah, sure, we don't believe in that cheap trick!" said Cuppy, which made Mugman even more panicked, so he knocked even harder on the door. "LET ME IN!" he yelled. Alicia opened the door. She saw Mugman in Cuphead's Body standing in front of the door. She looked from him to the devil and King Dice who were getting closer to her. "Okay, I'll let you in, but don't let your-" it was already too late when she saw Cuphead running towards her in Mugman's body, opening the door so that not only the Devil and King Dice could enter the room, but also Bowlboy and Bulbface who found Cuphead.
Since Mugman's body still had his socks on, he and Cuphead switched bodies again. "Yes, I'm me again!" said Cuphead as he landed on the devil. Mugman sat on Alicia's lap. He did not know that he had won the bed. But that didn't matter for now. The others were more than confused about what had just happened. "Wait! Hold on here. What just happened?" Bowlboy asked, confused. "I barely understand it" Cuphead said looking at the carpet "All I know is if you shuffle your feet on this carpet, you can switch bodies or whatever". When the devil heard this he looked at Cuphead. "So you're back in your body?" Cuphead nodded and swallowed nervously when he realized he was sitting on the devil.
This one was ready to grab his soul. But Cuphead charged himself electrically "Zip zip!" he said and touched the devil, causing the two to swap bodies. "Aw, come on!" said the devil annoyed when he was in Cuphead's body. "Hey I'm the devil!" said Cuphead as he looked at himself and was thrilled with his new body. "What's up?" he asked, giving King Dice a thumbs up. But the devil wanted to get back into his body so he charged himself electrically and was about to get his body back from Cuphead when the two started to fight and King Dice intervened to separate the two. Thereby the three charged themselves electrically. The devil was now in King Dice's body while King Dice was in the devil's body and Cuphead was back in his body.
"Everybody, look. Swap back in three, two..." Alicia said as she ordered the two to change back. But in the process, they all became electrically charged and swapped bodies again. The beam of light was seen shining from the room. But Elder Kettle ignored it. "Give me my body back!" Alicia shouted, which Elder Kettle heard and confused. He was angry and turned on the radio to distract himself with music. He knew nothing about the body swap. Alicia was in the body of King Dice which did not please her very much. King Dice was also not happy to be in the body of Mugman. He was in the body of the devil while his brother was in the body of Alicia. Cuppy and Bowlboy also exchanged their bodies. "Oh great I'm the Psycho Dice" said Alicia annoyed as she looked down at her hands and didn't have five fingers. She was also a little uncomfortable with the fly. "Why is it so tight?"
This one gave her an annoyed expression. "It makes you look nicer!" he said, giving her an annoyed expression as he crossed his arms. "Well, I guess I'm the Devil now" Mugman said as he surveyed his body. "This body's not that different from my old one" said Cuphead as he began to transform into Alicia's demon form and back again. "Oh I want to go back to my body and not stay in this one!" said Cuppy annoyed while Bowlboy felt comfortable in his. Only the devil was not enthusiastic and ran towards Mugman. But in the process he also caught Alicia and Cuphead. These in turn fell into the others, so that everyone swapped bodies once until they were all sitting on the two beds and were back in their bodies. "Cuppy, are you you?" asked Alicia who was back in her body and sitting on the empty bed with Bowlboy, the Devil and Mugman. "Yeah, I'm me" he said happily "And Mugman won the bed" Cuphead said sadly.
This confused the others, but they did not go further into it. Bowlboy and Bulbface disappeared, as did the Devil and King Dice, who had a headache from the whole body-swapping thing. The souls of the two mugs and forcing Alicia to sign the marriage proposal they could do later. But that didn't stop the two brothers from continuing to argue. "What's with you?" Cuphead asked his brother as he pushed him to the ground. "Why do you need that bed so bad?". Mugman growled even more when his brother asked him that. "I never even wanted to move out!", "Me either!" Mugman said. This confused Cuphead and the others a lot. "Wait, what? Say that again!". Mugman sat down as Cuphead got off of him. "I... I never wanted to move out" he said as Cuphead looked at him in confusion. "Then what was all this?" asked Alicia as the two looked to him. Neither really knew either. "Everything was fine until you started bringing your friends around every night," Mugman explained. Cuphead was confused until he remembered. "Bowlboy and Bulbface are not my friends Mugsy" he explained. But it was already too late for that the bed belonged to Mugman.
Later that evening, Alicia and Cuppy got ready for bed. With Mugman now as a roommate, they still had to get used to it a bit. The carpet was rolled up again under Alicia's bed where it could do no more damage. No one would want to change their body again. On the wall above his bed, Mugman hung a poster from his Boy Scout troop. "Ah, there," he said with satisfaction. "And are you looking forward to your first night in your new bed?" asked Alicia who was lying in her bed looking over at him. Just as he was about to say something Elder Kettle came into the room. "Ahh, a man in his own space" he took a sip of the root beer. "That's right! Finally!" said Mugman nervously.
"So what are you gonna do with this old thing?" Elder Kettle asked when he saw the rolled-up rug peeking out from under Alicia's bed. "Get rid of it," she suggested before continuing to read her book. "You got it" said Elder Kettle, taking the rug with him before closing the door behind him and turning off the lights in the living room. "Ah, finally, my own room" Mugman said as he looked around and noticed Alicia and Cuppy looking at him. "Well, almost my own room," he said nervously as he lay down in bed. "Goodnight, Cuphead" he said and was about to look down when he noticed that there was only the floor and not the lower bed where Cuphead normally lay.
The latter was lying in his bed and was just making himself comfortable. "Goodnight Mugman" he said and looked up into the upper bed when he noticed that nobody was lying there anymore. That worried him until he remembered. Mugman was now with Alicia and Cuppy in the guest room and no longer in his. He was trying to fall asleep when there was a knock at the door. Confused, he went to it and opened it. Behind it stood Mugman with a pillow under his arm. "Hey, um, you wanna have a sleepover?" he asked his brother. He grinned and nodded as he opened the door wider to let his brother in. They both hugged and went back to sleep in their beds. The whole thing was watched by Alicia, Cuppy and Elder Kettle. "So much for me having my own room" said Elder Kettle as he went to bed. Alicia and Cuppy also went to bed to prepare for the next day, which was sure to be full of adventures, as every day is.
