On October 15th, Ashley woke up on her birthday. It wasn't a day she particularly looked forward to.
She stays in bed or more like, stays in her room. She wasn't going to have a party, no matter what her friends did to ensure it.
With Shane, he cried as he walked to school with Luke.
"Two more months." Luke says.
"Screw you." Shane says under his breath. He was mad because Luke was getting to go to Homecoming and not him. Shane had no Homecoming date.
"You're going to Homecoming as my pet." Luke says. Penny kicked Luke in the goodies, having had enough.
"Enough!" Penny says, kicking him in the teeth and walking away with Shane. Shane just looked away, in tears. Luke cried as he was ruined again.
"I can't believe he did this to you." Penny says.
"I can't believe you left me." Shane says.
Penny looks down. "I'm sorry. I mentally broke for some time. I wanted to go to Homecoming with you, but it was Luke. He wouldn't let me, but now we can go." She said and took out a homecoming ring she made. "Will you go with me?" She asked.
Shane was stunned by this. He didn't know what to say at first.
"Yes!" He says, putting on the ring.
A water balloon hits Penny.
"Water girl!" The bullies teased, but Penny took out her blasters as they ran.
Meanwhile, Mona came with a present.
Mugman opens it, seeing a cake that was asking him if he would like to go to Homecoming with her.
"I thought you'd never ask!" Mugman says and kisses Mona. "I would love to."
Later, Ashley was walking. She didn't want a party, but no one listened like usual. When Penny threatened the others, they immediately canceled their plans for Ashley. They now knew that Ashley hated parties.
Lucy checks on Luke. Charity had managed to fix his teeth using her healing powers and also his bruises and cuts. He felt like a horrible person for hurting Shane and questioned why he even treated Shane so horribly.
During lunch, a band Ollie liked came with Molly. They played a song he liked before Molly smiled.
"Will you go to Homecoming with me?" She asked. Ollie was too surprised to speak.
"And my brother has been rendered speechless." June says.
"Yes! Yes, of course!" Ollie says 5 minutes later.
Haiku slowly walked in and went to Remy and asked him out, to which he said yes.
Melony had already asked Garrett to Homecoming days ago. Garrett was obviously speechless when she spelled out You And I Are A Sweet Couple! Let's Make It Even Sweeter At Homecoming! in colored M&M's, although Melony didn't actually do the hard part with the M&M's as Savannah had helped her do so.
She just knew it was Garrett's favorite candy besides Snickers bars.
To be fair, she was blind and Savannah knew Melony had no idea what color to use. Heck, Melony just sees pitch darkness.
"So, Stephen, you wanna go to Homecoming with me?" Lonnie asked.
Stephen shook. She had dumped him a long time ago and now all of a sudden, she wanted to take him back?
"Look, I'm sorry I dumped you. Maybe we can just go as friends?" Lonnie asked, holding out her hand.
Stephen thinks about this. "Sure. Okay." Stephen says, taking her hand.
Penny walked and saw Ashley.
"You kicked him, why?" Ashley asked.
"He was treating Shane like an animal!" Penny shouted.
Ashley sighed. "You're dead. Luke will be mad." She says.
Meanwhile, the siblings see Shane and Luke fighting as this was on the news.
Shane was punching Luke. Luke shot flames as Shane dodged and used musical shockwaves.
Kat and Ana used ninja ropes to tie them but their aura tore through as the battle was causing damage.
"You won't hurt Penny!" Shane says.
"She attacked me!" Luke hissed as they rush around, shooting ice and music notes
Shane used a bunch of of music notes.
Charity was horrified upon seeing the damage to Royal Woods. Gabriel was speechless.
Penny and Ashley gasp as Ashley looks at Red, who nods and turns into a wand as Ashley uses her wand to use a powerful spell destroying the ice.
She then chanted a spell to fix the damages. She flew after the boys and used a spell on them, freezing them in place, then separated them, then walked off.
"Penny kicked me! She had some nerve!" Luke says.
"You just had to hold a grudge. Sure, Shane made you a water boy, but making him your slave? Just make up and move on. I'm younger than you and you behave like an annoying brat. When you want revenge you always go the extra mile. First Garrett, now Shane." Ashley said.
Luke hissed at Ashley and took away Red's powers and grabbed her.
"Put me down! You know I'm right." she says, not scared of Luke.
"What's going on?" 5-Volt asked.
"Luke got mad. Really mad." Lana says.
"Yeah!" Kat and Ana say.
Penny holds Shane as he sobs.
Luke's lackeys carried Luke away as Charity was mad at her own son.
Later, Ashley arrived home to see a cake and smiled.
The next day, Luke made Mike and Josh embarrass Shane. Shane blushed profusely and ran off in tears. It just so happened that Charity and Sharon were there as Sharon was applying to be the new high school gym teacher at Oakley Academy.
"Shane, baby, are you okay?" Sharon asked him. She could see the tears rolling down his cheeks.
"They….they…they made me…pleasure the high school mascot costume for their own sick desires!" Shane sobbed as everyone around the group gasped in horror.
"Oh, baby, I'm so sorry…" Sharon says.
"LUKE FLYNN HUNTINGTON! WHEN I FIND YOU, YOU ARE IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE, YOUNG MAN!" Charity screamed.
Mugman was sickened by this and went to call Penny. She wasn't going to like this at all.
Penny gasped as she came and held Shane with Sharon.
"Randy will probably kill Mike and Josh." Melony says, punching her fists together.
Randy found out about this through the school news network.
"Okay, boys, we're hunting tonight." Alem tuber says
"Oh, yeah!" Alex says.
"What if Luke is there?" Jack asked.
"Oh, that will be more fun." Reilly says.
Ashley coughed.
"Are you sick?" 5-Volt asked.
She nods as her stomach heaves up.
"It was the cake I made, wasn't it?" 5-Volt asked.
She slowly nods. 7-Volt saw his wife sobbing her heart out. She had worked hard on the cake for Ashley, and her feelings were now hurt.
"I knew she wouldn't like it!" 5-Volt cried.
"Ashley…" Red says.
"It's true. I started feeling like this after I ate the cake." Ashley says.
"What did you put in it?" 9-Volt asked his mom.
"Normal cake-making stuff. I didn't add anything extra." She sniffed.
Soon, a doctor checked on Ashley.
"She's worse. She's never had a shot." he says Ashley froze and tried to fly out. The doctor snuck the shot into her arm as she soon passed out.
"So it wasn't the cake?" 5-Volt asked.
"No, she has…leukemia." the doctor stammered.
"And?" Red asked.
"Can't say for sure." He says and leaves.
With Luke, Charity was embarrassed by the behavior she had to witness. Shane was visibly traumatized as Lance held him.
"What do you have to say for yourself, young man?!" Charity screamed at Luke.
"I'm sorry…" Luke says.
"If you were sorry, you wouldn't have made Shane literally fuck the Golden Knight mascot costume in front of the whole school!" Charity screamed. "And what's worse, I think you also made him have sex with it during cheer practice, which horrified Howard McBride."
"Isn't Mugman the mas-...oh" Luna says putting two and two together and nearly vomited. She didn't want to think about what that was like if she had seen it.
Kat and Ana came home. "We're home! Tomorrow is our ninja-versary!" they say and run upstairs.
"That is just sick!" Lance says.
"They told me to strip and do it in front of the cheer squad! It was horrible!" Shane sobbed as he told his dad this.
"Luke Flynn, words do not describe how disgusted I am with you right now!" Charity screamed.
Kettle came in. "My boy is the mascot." He says.
"They made Shane have sex with the costume. Without anyone in it." Charity says. "Mugman is pretty disgusted as he had to see that."
Meanwhile, Mona noticed the commotion and came to Warioware.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Ashley has leukemia." Young Cricket says.
"You're kidding, right?" She asked
"She never got a shot or saw a doctor as a kid." Lulu says.
"Oh, and the whole Shane banging the Oakley Academy high school mascot costume thing, too." Young Cricket says.
Mona gasped.
"Mugman witnessed it. He wasn't even wearing it." Lulu says.
18-Volt showed Mona the full video of the entire scenario as Shane was seen naked, banging the Golden Knight mascot costume until he climaxed at least 4 times.
"9-VOLT!" 5-Volt screamed, furious he was seeing something as lewd as this.
"Uh-oh…" he says and runs. 18-Volt ran too.
"Is it true? Is Ashley sick?" Penny asked.
Mona was horrified by what she saw in that video, thanking God that Mugman wasn't in the costume.
"Hey, bubs." Alem tuber says as the cosmic buddies show up.
"Hey, look, you don't wanna risk destruction now, do ya?" Mike asked
"We do." Alex says. "Trust me, Mrs. Charity is going to have a field day with you two when we're done with you."
"Okay, Cosmic buddies, bring it on!" Mike says as Wildy charged as Delta shape-shifted into Luke and shot an elemental storm at Wildy, before reverting back. Wildy was sent flying.
"I forgot you can do that." Chrissy says
Mike tries punching Alem tuber, who dodged.
Alex and Josh clashed swords as Oime tries punching Jason, who punched him.
Wildy shot lighting at Delta, who dodged. Chrissy kicked him as Wildy picked up a statue and tried using it on Delta as she grabbed it as they played tug of war with it.
Jason punched Oime again, knocking him back.
The Cosmic buddies smirk and leap in attacking together as they smile and dump Mike and Josh into the trash. They laugh and walk off as Delta recorded this.
Mike and Josh grabbed Emma and did something cruel. They put her in the costume.
Emma screamed as Skara, Angry Luigi, and Alem tuber gasped.
Angry Luigi lit up with lighting and shot a burst of electricity zapping them as they ran.
"Worthless scum!" Alem tuber glared.
Emma screamed, trying to get out. Skara got her out of the costume and took her to get a bath.
Mike and Josh ran home to see it totaled.
"Well, this is just great." Mike says as the windows were shattered.
With Luke, he sat in his room.
"Servant." Luke says. Shane sniffed.
"WHAT IS IT NOW?! DO YOU WANT ME TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT ANOTHER SCHOOL'S MASCOT COSTUME?!" Shane screamed.
"Luke stop okay? Look, Ashley has leukemia and Shane's probably going to end up in the hospital. He's mentally broken now. " Kat says
"Yeah, Garrett was sent to the hospital because of your abuse." Ana says, sword in hand in case Luke went out of line.
"Now Shane will know how I felt when Lucy found me. I was treated way worse then what Shane went through." Luke says.
"Are you serious right now? Shane went through worse just today and you don't seem to care about that at all." Charity says. "You made him fuck a school mascot costume!"
Luke looks down. "I was in one because of most of my siblings."
The siblings wince as Lana and Luan felt guilty. Lisa frowned, remembering the incident.
Meanwhile, Emma shook in the bathtub as she could still smell Shane's sperm on herself.
"Emma, you okay?" Skara asked.
"Ye-yes." Emma lied.
"Emma, it's okay." Skara says.
"Don't let me go!" Emma sobbed as Skara was surprised. Usually Emma was trying to get away from her.
"Awww, Emma, look, you can sleep with me tonight." Skara says. "Let's scrub you clean and get you into your pajamas, then I'll read you a story from this series that me and my friends like, The Good Witch Azura."
Soon, Skara got Emma in her pajamas, then read some of the first Good Witch Azura book to her.
"You wanna team up with me instead of Randy?" Skara asked. Emma nods.
Luke was being interrogated by Charity yet again as all he could do was look ashamed of himself for his actions.
"I'm sorry…" he says.
"Shane is beyond traumatized and it probably turned him off to any sexual interaction for a while." Penny says.
Luke looks down, feeling sorry.
"Where's the costume? We need to destroy it and get a new one." Charity says.
The next day, Skara helped get Emma ready for school as Emma shook, looking at the costume.
"I'll return it tonight." Skara says.
"I don't wanna go to school. I wanna stay with you." Emma sniffed.
"Listen, it's going to be okay. I'll tell Luke to make sure Mike and Josh leave us alone, then we're going to the Hot Slice Experience concert later, okay?" Skara says. "It's going to be fun! And besides, I have to go to my school."
Emma nods as she allows Skylia to take her to school. Skara then teleports to Hexside.
At Oakley Academy, Shane had to be taken to the SPED class for the day by his dad as the others headed off to their classes.
Luke was once again unpopular thanks to the footage of Shane's mascot costume sex going viral.
Mugman was still sickened by all that had happened. But at the moment, he had to focus on getting ready for Oakley Academy's pre-Homecoming festivities. His band was performing at the celebration.
Fans were talking about this and couldn't wait for later.
At Hexside…
"What are your plans for tonight?" Boscha asked.
"Not sure." Skara says. "I am taking Emma to the Oakley Academy pre-Homecoming celebration tonight. The Hot Slice Experience is going to be performing there. Would you like to join us?"
"Do you think the cups will sign my poster of them?" Boscha asked, showing Skara the poster of them on the beach. They were posing on beach towels, wearing nothing but Hawaiian swim trunks and charming smiles.
Skara nods. Boscha squealed.
"Those cup brothers are so hot!" Boscha says.
Meanwhile, Lisa thinks of June. June smiled and looked over some Halloween costumes with her brother.
Lisa looks away, blushing.
"What is Halloween like here, do you think?" June asked Ollie.
"Luke has the best parties." Ollie says. "But before that, he takes his group to raid the drugstores for discount Halloween candy, then it all gets taken to the party to be put in a giant candy cauldron. But we get to keep whatever we want from our own drugstore hauls."
"Oooh! Sounds exciting!" June says.
After school, Mona goes to get ready for the concert. It was going to be a pretty big one as Oakley Academy was a big school and a lot of the general public would also be in attendance.
With Luke, he sighed. He was going to the pre-Homecoming celebration with Zee, and he was currently waiting for her.
Zee soon came. She looked a bit disappointed.
"Are you okay?" Luke asked her.
Zee sighed. What Luke did wasn't nice at all. Then she could tell he looked genuinely sorry for what he did. He was already feeling guilty for what he did. He didn't need to get yelled at anymore. He just wants to go out and have fun tonight.
She decided to forgive him.
The celebration was set up on the Oakley Stadium grounds. There were food and drink stands, Oakley Academy merchandise stands, and game booths. There was also a face painting booth, photo booths, a few inflatables, a caricature booth, a balloon artist, and a concert stage. The grounds were decorated in green, gold, and white with banners that read Oakley Academy High School Homecoming Festival in green letters on white banners that were strung around in a few places, including the entrance itself.
Shane smiles as he enters with Penny. Penny takes Shane to get his face painted.
Shane giggled as Penny was taking pictures of Shane getting his face painted.
"Look at you!" Penny says. "You look awesome in your green and gold war paint! My turn!" She takes Shane's place.
Shane took pictures as Penny smiled with her face having war paint like Shane's.
Luke entered the festival, the hood of his Oakley Academy Golden Knights Cheer hoodie covering his whole face as he was hiding it from everyone. He was ashamed of himself.
The cups set up on the stage with Mona, Art, and Deco. This was their biggest concert event aside from the music festival that they went to in Baltimore that took place in early August.
Skara and Boscha were watching them set up. Skara was holding Emma's hand as they stood in front of the stage.
Emma looks in awe. Boscha was squealing.
"Well, who are you, the one squealing in front of our stage?" Mugman asked as he flashed a smile.
"We'd love to know your name." Cuphead says, also flashing a smile.
"Boscha!" she says. "My name's Boscha!"
"What can we do for you, Boscha?" Mugman asked.
Boscha holds out the poster she showed Skara earlier. "Can you please autograph this?" She smiled at the cups.
"Of course!" They say and sign the poster before giving it back to Boscha.
"Thank you!" Boscha says, smiling.
"No problem!" Mugman says. "Hope you enjoy the concert later!"
"I will!" Boscha says before standing next to Skara again.
Luke just looked down and sat on a bench. Zee hugged him.
"I…I feel like a real jerk…" Luke says. "I'm not normally a jerk to people…"
"You will get redemption." Zee says.
"I feel like it's too late for me…" Luke sniffed. "How will that happen? Every time I gain it, I'm always told to do bad things just so I can lose it again."
She holds him. She realizes that he was being influenced to do bad things.
"Maybe you need better friends." Zee says.
Soon, Emma got hungry as Skara sighed and took her to a food stand.
Emma ordered pizza and Skara took a Fire In The Belly burger, a delicacy that she brought to Hexside, though she originally tried it in Royal Woods.
Skara begins to eat. Boscha sat next to her.
"So good…" Skara says.
Emma walked off.
Mona puts makeup on for the show. The cups were decked out in green and gold from head to toe.
Soon, the show starts as Emma sits on Skara's lap.
"Ladies and gentlemen, but mostly ladies, are you ready for a show?!" Cuphead asked.
Fans cheered as The Hot Slice Experience began their show. Cuphead opened the show with his I'm Yours song.
Fans cheered as he smiled. Then Mugman took the lead on the song Little Willy, a song the band meant to do for so long and they finally get to perform it tonight.
Girls screamed for Mugman as he grinned and kept singing.
"Ahhhhh! Mugsy!" Boscha screamed.
The band did more songs, including two songs Mona sang. All that led up to the final two songs. Melina with Mugman singing lead, then Closing Time, where both cups took turns singing lead.
Once the concert ended, Kettle and Chalice smiled once they saw the cups walk off the stage.
"You did great, boys." Kettle says.
"Thanks." Mugman says.
"You ding-dongs are incredible!" Chalice says.
"I know." Cuphead says.
Boscha squealed, getting their autographs.
"Come on, Emma, let's get you home." Skylia says, letting Skara be with her girlfriend. Emma leaves with Skylia.
Luke gets ready to leave, ready for the actual Homecoming events to begin. The festival was fun and all, but he was ready for the actual Homecoming week to begin.
He felt jealous about not getting to do a concert at the festival this year, but deep down, he knew that he did some bad things and didn't deserve a Homecoming concert. He then headed home.
As soon as he arrived home, he saw Ana and Kat being celebrated. He then went to his room and shut the door. He wanted to be alone.
