Chapter 1

Sunlight poured into Cuphead and brother Mugman's room as he lay upside down on his bed. First day of summer, so what to do? He wasn't gonna ask Mugman, that's for sure. He didn't want to look bored around his brother.

Groaning, Cuphead reached for his phone (which was a Christmas present from Ashley) and signed in to the Toon Squad group chat. Maybe one of the guys had an idea of what to do.


Bendy was bored. Bored as h-e-double-hockey-sticks (he wasn't gonna say it). What was there to do on the first day of summer? His dad was busy at his new job at Warner. Bros., working on the latest Animaniacs episode. Something about a rapper, he said. 'Would be nice to check it out.' he thought.

Bendy frowned. He couldn't just lie down all day, he had to do at least a little mischief!

He grabbed his phone and checked in on the chat. Maybe one of the gang had some tricks up their sleeves for summer.


Felix looked up from his guitar as his phone vibrated in his pocket. He pulled it out and signed in to the chat.

"Cuphead: Hey guys! What's going on with ya?

Felix: Not much. You?

Cuphead: Not much either. There's nothing to do.

Bendy: Dude, you have no idea. I'm as bored as h-e-double-hockey-sticks (you know I hate the word now).

Mugman: Yeah yeah, we get it.

Minnie: What is there to do on the first day of summer?

Mickey: Dunno, there are so many choices! We could go fishing, hiking, look for Bigfoot …

Bendy, Cuphead, and Mugman: Say what now?

Minnie: Hey! You know what all those things have in common? They take place in the woods; we should go camping!

All: (respond with party emojis)

Oswald: Sorry guys, I'm gonna have to sit this one out. My remote is broken and I need to fix it pronto. We'll just keep in touch.

Mugman: Alright Oswald, do what you want. Where should we camp?

Bendy: How about Gravity Falls, Oregon? I heard it's great this time of year.

Minnie: Are you sure, Bendy? I heard it has a bunch of scary anomalies and monsters!

Cuphead: Aw come on Minnie; you're not scared are ya?

Minnie: What?! No! I'm just making sure it's safe.

Cuphead: Uh huh, okay …

Mickey: Alright guys, pack your bags and meet up at my place! We're going to Gravity Falls!

All but Oswald: YEAH!"
