It had been a while since Gwen and her friends returned home after their adventure at the fourth isle. Gwen tries every day to adjust to having her new celestial powers and keep them under control without exposing them. Her FBI agent friend Kai-Ming tries in every way to help Gwen keep them under control.
One afternoon, Gwen was preparing to leave for her bachelorette party trip to Miami, Florida with her fellow bridesmaids Rose, Ms. Chalice, Kizzy, Akilah and Cordelia. Gwen closes her studio and prepares to gather the girls and teleport to Miami. She gathers Kizzy from Mattapan and meets the other girls at the cottage all with their suitcases.
"Alright, that's everyone. Are you girls ready?" Gwen asked excitedly.
"YEAH!" All girls cheered.
"Yeah." A familiar voice said.
Gwen and the others looked and notice Kai-Ming approaching the group with a suitcase.
"Kai-Ming? What are you doing?" Gwen asked.
"I hope you don't mind, but I'm tagging along with you." Kai-Ming answered.
"You're gonna keep an eye on me, aren't you?" Gwen asked, figuring it out.
"Yeah. Just to make sure you girls stay out of trouble. Miami can be dangerous." Kai-Ming added as she winked.
"Aw come on; we can handle anything." Ms. Chalice said.
"Do you even have a room booked at the hotel we're staying at?" Rose asked.
"Yep. I've taken care of that. I'll be in your suite." Kai-Ming answered.
"You're full of surprises." Cordelia said.
"Thank you." Kai-Ming thanked.
"Where are we staying again?" Akilah asked.
"We're staying at Flamingo Hotel." Cordelia answered.
"Alright then, ready to head to Miami?" Gwen asked.
"YEAH!" All the girls cheered.
Gwen teleports themselves to the Flamingo Hotel, enter the hotel to start their weekend together. They check-in, travel to their suite, find their rooms and unpack their suitcases and settle in while Gwen magically decorates their suite with bachelorette themed decorations.
"Okay, looks the first thing is…" Gwen said as she checked her schedule.
Then Gwen gets out her ink pen and magically gives each of her friends a gift bag.
"Here's your welcome gift bags!" Gwen announced.
The girls open their gift bags, and they all receive a pair of sandals, sunglasses, shell-themed jewelry, beach hats and toiletries. Rose receives a sash that says, "Maid of Honor". Gwen made herself a sash that says, "Bride to Be." Ms. Chalice, Kizzy, Akilah and Cordelia each get a sash that says, "Bridesmaid." Kai-Ming receives a sash that says, "Security."
"How cute." Kai-Ming complimented.
"Aw thanks girl!" Kizzy thanked.
"This is stylin'!" Ms. Chalice said, trying on her sash.
"Beautiful." Akilah complimented.
"This is gonna be a fun weekend!" Cordelia said happily.
"Indeed, it will be." Gwen agreed.
"So, now that we're settled in, what do you girls wanna do first?" Kai-Ming asked.
"Well…" Gwen said as she checked the schedule.
"You guys wanna hit the beach?" Gwen asked excitedly.
"Yeah!" The girls cheered.
All the girls get dressed in their beachwear and start their weekend fun by hanging out at Miami Beach.
Meanwhile, Clarence along with his groomsmen Cuphead, Mugman, William, Elijah, Virgil and Isaiah all gather at Gwen's cabin for their bachelor party weekend.
"This is gonna be a fun weekend!" Cuphead said.
"Yep, just us boys." Mugman agreed.
"It was nice of Gwen to let us use her cabin for us to stay." Elijah said.
"Yeah. Cousin Gwen has pure heart." Virgil agreed.
"So, what are we gonna do?" Isaiah asked.
"Well gentlemen, here's your welcome gift bags!" Clarence said as he presented each friend a gift bag.
They all open their gift bags, and they all receive sunglasses, fedora hats, gold pocket watches, bowties, personalized drink mugs, toiletry bags, gold chunky necklaces. Clarence gets a sash that says, "Groom to Be." William receives a sash that says, "Best Man." Cuphead, Mugman, Elijah, Virgil and Isaiah receive a sash that says "Groomsmen."
"Awesome!" Cuphead said.
"Gwen really outdid herself." Mugman complimented.
"Yeah. I'm digging these gifts." William added.
"We're gonna party til we drop!" Isaiah said.
"Then get ready fellas, cause we're goin' to the jazz club tonight!" Clarence announced.
"WHOO!" All the boys cheered.
They take a cab and head downtown to the jazz club to start their bachelor weekend fun.
Back in Miami, the girls all go to a club and celebrate their first night together. Kai-Ming made sure Gwen didn't expose her celestial powers as well as make sure her friends stayed out of trouble. They all went dancing to the jazz music and have appetizers and hors d'oeuvres. Ms. Chalice showed off her dancing skills.
The next day, the girls have breakfast and decide to go to the Everglades for a booked tour. They take a taxi to the Everglades National Park and arrive at the tour carts. They get on with fellow tourists and they are driven around the park and notice a lot of alligators big and small.
"Wow! Alligators!" Akilah exclaimed.
"Yeah. This is the part of the US you get to see them sugar." Cordelia said.
"Snap! Snap! Snap!" Ms. Chalice taunted the alligators.
One large alligator hissed at Ms. Chalice, making jump into Gwen's arms.
"I warned you not to taunt them, Chalice." Gwen said.
"She's right. They'll tear your limbs off in one snap!" Rose added.
"Oh, girls look! Flamingos!" Kizzy yelled and pointed.
Everyone looks and see a flock of flamingos at a nearby pond as Kai-Ming took more pictures. They are all awestruck by the beauty of the Everglades and the wildlife as the tour later ends.
Meanwhile, the boys have fun by getting breakfast then going into town and head to the beach for some fun. They hang out on the beach with the other locals having fun playing beach volleyball, making sandcastles, bury each other and laying out in the sun.
Later, the cup's friend Captain Brineybeard shows up in his pirate ship and takes the boys out boating on the ocean. They all drink root beer together as they enjoy the sights of the sea creatures.
"A toast! To Clarence our groom to be. May you and Gwen live in happiness together forever!" William proposed a toast.
"Aw, thanks Will." Clarence thanked.
"To Clarence!" William yelled.
"To Clarence!" All the men cheered and banged their glasses and drank the root beer.
"Good toast lad. I'm lookin' forward to their weddin' day. Me and me sweet." Brineybeard complimented.
"Thanks Captain. I do too." William thanked.
Later, Captain Brineybeard dropped the boys off at the docks and hey head out into town to continue their fun.
The next day was their last day of fun before they have to return home the next morning for both girls and boys.
The girls do some sightseeing around Miami and look at all the landmarks. Later, they go to a local spa and get their toenails and fingernails done, have massages and hang out at the beach once again.
The boys all go get breakfast together in town and all decided to have a spa day too and go to a local Turkish bathhouse. They all lay on a stone and local workers begin giving them massages as the men relax peacefully.
That night in Miami, the girls once again get dinner and go out dancing. Gwen was having too much fun she doesn't even notice her hair began to turn celestial colors. Kai-Ming catches this and quickly grabs a blanket and covers Gwen's head.
"Okay, that's enough fun. Come on Gwen. Let's get you to bed." Kai-Ming said, trying to calm her down.
Kai-Ming escorts Gwen back to their hotel suite and closed the door. She has Gwen lay in her bed as her hair continued glowing and her eyes turned shining yellow.
"What are you doing?" Gwen asked tiredly.
"You're doing it again." Kai-Ming answered.
"Doing what?" Gwen asked.
"Your celestial powers. You need to calm down. I think you were having too much fun you didn't notice you accidentally triggered them." Kai-Ming explained.
Gwen looked in the mirror and realized Kai-Ming was right.
"Oh, oops." Gwen admitted as she quickly restored her hair and eyes.
"It's okay. Now you lay down and rest. I'm gonna go back to the dance floor and let the others know you're alright. I'll be back in a while. Okay?" Kai-Ming asked.
"Okay." Gwen agreed.
"Good. We'll see you later." Kai-Ming said and leaves their suite.
Gwen lays under the covers and tries to sleep it off. She gets thirsty and gets out of bed to get herself a glass of water. As she was sipping, the water suddenly splashed in her face.
"What the?" Gwen asked herself as she got a towel and dried herself off.
"Need to cool off my dear?" A familiar voice asked.
Gwen eyes widened and she turned around to see a familiar figure standing in the shadows.
"Enjoying your last moments being single with the ladies?" The Devil asked.
"Please, go away! I don't need you ruining my weekend!" Gwen yelled.
The Devil snickered as he came out of the shadows.
"I know your secret." The Devil revealed.
"What secret? You know I'm marrying Clarence and I'm never marrying you!" Gwen angrily said.
"That will all change later but no, your other secret." The Devil said.
"What are you talking about?" Gwen asked in denial.
The Devil approached her and backed her against the wall. He reaches his fingers through her hair as it magically turned back into celestial colors. He also puts his hand in front of her eyes, making them turn shining yellow. Gwen hid her face in shame, now knowing he knows about her new powers.
"Ah, beautiful. Just like the night I caught you showing off your new powers. You are the glow." The Devil said and revealed.
Gwen's cringed, realizing too late the Devil was spying on her that night.
"They mean nothing! Now go away!" Gwen yelled.
The Devil held her trembling face.
"They're nothing to be ashamed of my dear. Once you and I are married, your new powers will become very useful to me along with the inkwell when I conquer both worlds and collect everyone's souls when I have you under my control." The Devil said evilly.
Gwen's eyes widened in horror, realizing he has more evil plans for her than what she saw in her nightmare of her marriage to the Devil.
"But I should warn you, if you don't cooperate soon, something else is gonna come. Something much worse than anything before. So, If I were you, I'd consider making the right choice of who to marry if you don't want anyone to get hurt or worse." The Devil threatened.
"No. No! No! NO!" Gwen yelled.
"Oh yes. Well, I'll let you enjoy your last moments of being single. But mark my words my beautiful flower, you better make a good choice before it's too late. See you later." The Devil warned as he tapped his pitchfork and disappeared.
Gwen held her head in her hands and started crying and sat on her bed. Just then, her friends enter the suite and all head to bed. Gwen quickly wiped her tears, tucked herself into bed and went to sleep.
Rose came into Gwen's room and sat down on her bed.
"You okay sis?" Rose asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Gwen said.
Rose immediately noticed something was wrong.
"Something happened, didn't it?" Rose asked.
Gwen cringed in bed.
"Please, don't tell me he showed his ugly face again when Kai-Ming left you alone." Rose guessed.
"Okay." Gwen agreed.
"What did he say this time?" Rose asked.
"He said…" Gwen hesitated to answer and sighed.
"Gwen, I'm always here to help you. You are not alone." Rose reminded her.
Gwen cringed until she finally comes clean.
"He found out about my new powers. And he said I need to make a choice of who to marry or something is much worse is gonna happen than anything he's done to us before. I think he's gonna try to kill Clarence. He's planning not just to conquer both worlds, but to collect everyone's souls." Gwen said as she started tearing up.
Rose gasped and hugged her sister.
"We'll warn Clarence and have him put on his invisible sweater every day until the Devil stops trying." Rose said.
Gwen sniffled.
"Okay." Gwen agreed.
"Alright, you need to get some sleep. Wear your invisible sweater just in case he comes back." Rose instructed and left her room.
Gwen puts on her invisible sweater and lays in her bed upset. She thought for a moment and decided to call Clarence. She gets the phone and dials the cabin number.
Back at the cabin, the boys were eating Cordelia's homemade cherry pie for dessert. Clarence hears the phone ring, and he puts down his piece of pie and answers it.
"Hello?" Clarence greeted.
"Hey love." Gwen said.
"Oh, hey honey. How's your weekend with the girls? I can't wait to see you tomorrow." Clarence said.
"It's going great. Me too." Gwen said.
Clarence could tell in Gwen's tone of voice something was wrong.
"Is everything okay? You don't sound good." Clarence asked.
"Love, there's something you should know." Gwen said.
"I'm listening." Clarence said.
Gwen explains the situation with the Devil showing up and revealing he knows about her powers and threatening her to make her choose who to marry or else he will do something worse to her. She thinks he's going to try to kill Clarence and warns him to wear his invisible sweater.
"You can't be serious. He was in your room, and he threatened you?" Clarence asked shockingly.
"I'm sorry, but it's true. I had to warn you. He's more determined now." Gwen said as she was tearing up.
Clarence thought for a moment and gets an idea.
"Hey honey? Would you mind sending us several dozens of eggs to the cabin? The Devil's gonna have a surprise waiting for him at the casino." Clarence asked.
"Well, okay. But you guys be careful. And don't forget about King Dice." Gwen warned.
"We won't. We'll take care of him. I promise." Clarence promised.
"Okay, the eggs are on the kitchen counter. Good luck." Gwen said as she magically used her ink pen.
"Thanks honey, love you." Clarence said.
"Me too to you. Bye." Gwen said as she hung up.
Clarence hangs up and is now furious at the Devil. He notices the eggs on the counter and calls a meeting.
"Gentlemen!" Clarence called.
All his friends stopped chatting and turned their attention to Clarence.
"Gather around." Clarence said as he entered the living room.
All the boys sat down on the couch and chairs.
"What's wrong?" Elijah asked.
"I just got a call from Gwen, and she informed me the Devil's paid her a visit and threatened her once again." Clarence announced.
Everyone gasped.
"Why is that big jerk pokin' his nose where's he's not wanted?" Cuphead asked.
"He never gives poor Gwen a break." Mugman said.
"What are we gonna do?" Isaiah asked.
"Say the word and we'll do it." Virgil agreed.
"Gentlemen, I propose we pay a visit to his casino and show him what happens when he messes with us." Clarence said.
"Ooh! Things got more exciting!" Cuphead said excitedly.
"What is it?" William asked.
Clarence brought in some of the eggs.
"Wait a minute, you're not thinking about pranking him, are you?" Mugman asked.
"Oh yes. I'm getting fed up with him and his shenanigans. So, I wanna return the favor." Clarence said.
"I'm in!" Cuphead said.
"Me too." Virgil said.
"I'm not so sure about this." Elijah said.
"Have you forgotten what he did to Akilah?" Clarence reminded him.
Elijah realized Clarence was right and grabbed a few boxes of eggs.
"I'm in too." Elijah agreed.
"We're all in." Isaiah said.
"We just better not screw this up." William said.
"Not to worry. I have a plan." Clarence assured him.
That night, the boys snuck up to the Devil's Casino and hid in the bushes. They all dress up in black outfits and masks so they wouldn't be recognized.
"Alright, what's the plan?" William asked.
"Phase one, we lure out King Dice. One of us is going to be the bait to draw his attention. Phase two, we capture him, tie him up and tar and feather him. Phase three, we egg the entire casino." Clarence explained the plan.
"Oh boy." William said worryingly.
"Now, who wants to be the bait?" Clarence asked.
"Ooh ooh! Pick me! Pick me!" Cuphead said and raised his hand.
"Okay Cuphead. Go lure King Dice out here." Clarence said.
"Alright, come on Mugsy!" Cuphead said as he grabbed Mugman's hand.
"Wait! I don't wanna be the bait!" Mugman protested.
"Too late. We're the bait!" Cuphead taunted.
They both run inside the casino.
"This better work." William said.
"Relax brother. What could happen?" Isaiah asked.
Just then the humans heard screaming.
"I think that is our cue to get ready." Virgil said.
"I think Virgil's right." Elijah agreed.
Suddenly, the cups are seen running out of the casino with King Dice chasing after them with a crowbar.
"You little brats!" King Dice yelled.
Both cups ran towards the bushes as the boys get ready to attack.
"Here they come! Get ready to tackle him!" Clarence whispered.
The cups ran down a path in the forest. Before King Dice could follow them, the human men jump out of the bushes and tackle King Dice. Virgil pins King Dice down while Elijah and Isaiah tie him up and gag him with a cloth gag. The cups rejoin the humans and get to work tarring King Dice and feathering him. William puts a red oven mitt on King like a chicken waddle. Clarence finishes by putting a fake beak on his nose, making King Dice look like a chicken.
The boys escort King Dice and tie him to a tree and run off with the crates of eggs.
"Alright gentlemen. Commence phase three." Clarence instructed.
Everyone grabs an egg and start egging the casino until they all ran out of eggs. The boys quickly run away from the casino laughing as they disappeared into the night.
The next morning, King Dice was still tied up to the tree until he felt something untie him. He fell to the ground and removed his cloth gag. It is revealed that Henchman untied him.
"Duh, are you okay King Dice?" Henchman asked.
"No…" King Dice weakly answered.
Just then, the Devil angrily approached the duo. To their shock, the Devil was painted in rainbow colors.
"Uh, boss? Why do you look like a rainbow?" King Dice asked.
"Why do you look like a chicken?!" The Devil angrily asked.
"I…I can explain!" King Dice said fearfully.
"SHUT UP!" The Devil roared.
The Devil pointed at his casino.
"My precious casino is vandalized, and you let some stupid kids get the best of you!" The Devil angrily yelled.
"B-b-b-but boss! There were too many of them! I didn't see their faces! They were wearing disguises!" King Dice fearfully explained.
"SHUT UP! Now get to work! Those eggs aren't gonna clean themselves off!" The Devil ordered.
King Dice quickly runs back to the casino, grabs buckets of soap and scrubbers and got to work cleaning the egged casino.
Back in Miami, it is revealed that Gwen pranked the Devil with painting him rainbow colors with the magic inkwell.
She and her friends pack up their suitcases, have breakfast in the café and magically takes Kizzy, Kai-Ming and Rose back to their homes. Then she takes the rest back to the Inkwell Isles and returned home. Gwen even takes William and Isaiah back to their homes and returns to the cottage. She reunites with Clarence and the cups.
"I'm home!" Gwen said happily.
"Great to have you back." Clarence said and both kissed.
"Gweny!" Both cups exclaimed.
Gwen hugged her cup brothers happy to be home with them.
"Did you guys have fun with Clarence and the other boys?" Gwen asked.
"Yeah! We had a great time." Cuphead answered.
"We went to the jazz club, dancing, boating, got a Turkish bath, hot tubbing and pranking." Mugman added.
"Aw that's great. Here, I got some souvenirs for you from Miami." Gwen said as she gives the cups gift bags.
"Wow! Sweet!" Both cups exclaimed as they look through their gift bags.
"Did you guys do it?" Gwen asked.
"Yep. We gave it to Dicey really good." Clarence answered.
"And I gave it to the Devil pretty good too." Gwen said.
"What'd you do?" Clarence asked.
"I gave him a makeover while he was sleeping last night." Gwen revealed.
"Cool. He deserves it." Clarence said.
Gwen and Clarence say goodbye, return home and Gwen heads upstairs to her room to unpack. Her little friends the butterfly, flower, Jack-in-the-box and Cerulean Bolt all greet her.
"Hey everyone! I'm home!" Gwen greeted.
Her butterfly fluttered in her face. Cerulean Bolt flew around her and hugged her. Jack-in-the-box sprung out from his box and yelled,
"Welcome home Bride-to-Be!"
"Aw thanks Jack-in-the-box." Gwen thanked.
Gwen waters her flower and her birds-of-paradise then prepares to go to bed. She puts on her invisible sweater and goes to sleep. Gwen started to dream and finds herself once again in the astral plane.
"Why am I back here? What'd I do wrong?" Gwen asked as her voice echoed.
"Nothing." A familiar voice echoed.
Gwen's eyes widened, recognizing the voice. She turned around and saw the ghost of her late grandfather Earnest floating.
"Hey, Doodlebug." Earnest greeted.
"GRANDPA!" Gwen exclaimed.
Gwen and Earnest embraced each other as she was crying. After calming down, Gwen looked up at Earnest.
"How did you get here?" Gwen asked as she wiped her tears.
"I was paid a visit from the Angel and Demon and told me what happened and your new cosmic powers. So, I am here to help." Earnest answered.
"With my powers?" Gwen asked.
"Yes. The cosmic powers of the astral plane are not for the faint of heart. They could easily be unrestrained and chaotic unless you learn to control them. That is why I am here to help you do that." Earnest explained.
"How? Do you have a plan?" Gwen asked.
"I do. Every night when you go to sleep, you'll be summoned back here, and we'll start training until you wake up in the morning." Earnest answered.
Gwen thought for a moment and realized she does need help with controlling her new powers.
"Okay. I'll do it." Gwen agreed.
"Wonderful. Let's begin Doodlebug. Let's start with your hand problem." Earnest said and gestured to follow her.
Gwen followed Earnest and he begins with her first lesson of controlling her cosmic powers. Throughout the night, Earnest trained Gwen until it was morning and her body started to wake up. Gwen is spirited back into her body as Gwen wakes up back in her bed.
She noticed her hands were once again circled with planets, stars and moons. Gwen closed her eyes, took a deep breath and relaxed herself.
"Calm yourself. Just relax. I am one with the universe." Gwen said to herself.
Then, the planets, stars and moons disappeared. Gwen smiled at her hands being cleared and felt proud of herself.
Gwen continued her usual day while keeping her cosmic powers under control with help from her grandfather.
Meanwhile down in Hell, the Devil frustratingly spent most of his time taking many baths to clean the rainbow paint Gwen caused him. Which of course will take a long time to clean off.
