Chapter 7: Chalice's New Family
Chef Saltbaker climbs the ladder to the King's Leap with the Cup Trio and the Guardian Pete Trio on his back while they enjoy some Strawberry Puffs and Marshmallow Fudges.
"Our parents have great taste in sweets," Chalice commented.
"Sweet teeth are in the genes," said Cuphead.
The duo Trio gets off Saltbaker's back when they reach the group.
"Though the training was short and easy. I think we're more powerful than we anticipated," said Mugman.
"You have no idea," Chef Saltbaker answered.
"We better get home. I want to show off Sugarcube to Elder Kettle and the Goat from the Front Yard," said Cuphead.
"Chalice, I've been thinking," Chef Saltbaker continued. "I was wondering if you're interested in working at my bakery. I even have a room for rent. If it's okay with you, it's just that I've been living by myself for a long time and-"
Chalice then hugged Chef Saltbaker and said, "Yes. I'll be your daughter."
Happily, Chef Saltbaker hugs her back. This touched the Cup Bros while the Guardian Pet Trio wags their tails in joy.
"Aw, isn't it sweet? Chalice has a new home and family. What a way to end the day," said Cuphead.
But Chef Saltbaker grabs Cuphead at the top of his to lift him and says with a scary grin, "Cuphead, if you ever put the moves on Chalice, I will turn your head into a serving dish while baking your soul into a Wondertart!"
"I don't understand what you're saying, but I get the message," said Cuphead, trying to hide his pale frozen white fearful expression.
"Papa! Leave Cuphead alone," said Chalice once Cuphead was let go.
"Be careful around this guy, Chalice. He looks like he's nothing but trouble," said Chef Saltbaker.
"So am I."
As Chalice, Chef Saltbaker, and Acinus leave together like a family, Mugman says, "I remember when our parents escorted us home. Come on, Creamer, Cuphead, and Sugarcube. Let's all go home as a family as well."
While the Bros and their Guardian Angel Pets leave, their parents watch from their lake at the unfamiliar place.
"That Chalice has eyes on my Cuphead. I won't allow it!" Mocha angered.
"That's what my Mother said about when we were young, and just look at us now," said Herb.
Mocha blushed before saying, "Well, the boat fix. Next, we need to find the portal that brought us here, so we can finally go home."
"Then it will be like the good old days: having tea, coffee, strawberry puffs, and marshmallow fudges together as a family."
"Yep."
THE END…?
