One sunny afternoon, Gwen and her fiancé Clarence both stop by the church they are planning to get married. They go over the program for the wedding ceremony including the wedding vow ritual to stop the Devil.
Meanwhile, Cuphead and Mugman stop by Chef Saltbaker's bakery to have a snack. They open the door and Chef Saltbaker noticed the cup's arrival.
"Good afternoon my little friends!" Chef Saltbaker greeted.
"Hey Chef Saltbaker!" Both cups greeted.
"What are ya hungry for today? Cookies? Donuts? Cake? Pastries?" Chef Saltbaker asked as he held up a platter of sweets.
Both cups felt their mouths watering, having a hard time deciding.
"I know! Wanna sample all of them since I have too many choices?" Chef Saltbaker asked.
"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" Both cups exclaimed excitedly.
Just then, Chef Saltbaker hears the telephone ringing.
"I'll just leave it right here. I'll be right back." Chef Saltbaker said as he set the platter down on the counter and leaves for the telephone.
Both cups sampled each of the sweets until the whole platter was wiped clean.
Just then, they eye the rest of the sweets in the display counter. They give into their temptation and start scarfing down the rest of the sweets. They both groan in pain laying down on the floor.
Chef Saltbaker hangs up the phone and comes back to check on the cups.
"Alright my friends, did you enjoy the… WHAT THE?!" Chef Saltbaker asked until he stood in shock at the sight of the cups.
Both cups with much larger bellies struggle to get up and both hiccupped from eating too many sweets.
"Oh, hi Saltbaker. We sampled all your sweets." Cuphead said, slurring his speech.
"They were so… HIC!... delicious." Mugman agreed as he hiccupped.
Chef Saltbaker stood steaming hot red and growled in anger. Then with all his might, he kicked both cups out of his bakery. The cups landed near the wishing well.
"What?! You said we could sample all your sweets!" Cuphead yelled.
"I think maybe he meant what was on the platter! Not literally all his sweets!" Mugman yelled, realizing too late their mistake.
Just then, Gwen and Clarence walk up to the cups.
"Hey buddies. You ready to… WOAH!" Gwen was about to ask until she stood in shock at the sight of her best friends.
"What happened to you guys?" Clarence asked, also shocked.
"Oh, hey Gweny. We just sampled… HIC! Saltbaker's sweets." Cuphead answered and hiccupped.
"Guys, did you eat all of Chef Saltbaker's sweets?" Gwen asked suspiciously.
"Uhh…" Both cups hesitated to answer.
"I'll take that as a yes." Clarence said.
"Guys, we talked about this! You're getting your wedding tuxedoes soon! Now you both put on more weight and you guys won't fit!" Gwen scolded.
Both cups groaned in pain.
"Now you guys got tummy aches. Come on, let's get you home." Clarence said.
Both humans help the cups up then Gwen teleports themselves back to the cottage and has them go to bed and give them medicine.
"Now lay down and get some rest. Your tummy aches should go away in a while." Gwen said.
After leaving their room, Gwen rejoins Clarence downstairs.
"So, now what?" Clarence asked.
"Well, they've both gained weight. And now they're not gonna fit in their tuxedoes for the wedding." Gwen groaned.
"Well, what are we gonna do?" Clarence asked.
Gwen thought for a moment until she got an idea.
"I think I better call on my old friend to help me." Gwen said.
"Who?" Clarence asked.
"Kizzy Thompson. Isaiah's girlfriend." Gwen answered.
"Oh yeah. But what can she do?" Clarence asked.
"If anyone can get anyone into physical shape, it's her. She's a no-nonsense gym teacher and athlete." Gwen answered as she grabbed the telephone.
Later that day, Kizzy meets Gwen at the cottage and sit together at the table.
"So… let me get this straight. Those cups put on a ton of weight and now you want me to get them back into shape?" Kizzy asked trying to understand.
"Yes. They will no longer fit in their wedding tuxedoes. We just got them in for them as the other guys did too." Gwen answered.
"Yeah, Isaiah got his and he is lookin' handsome in it." Kizzy said.
"So, please will you help them drop all their weight gain?" Gwen pleaded.
"It won't be easy. But I'll do it." Kizzy said, agreeing to the deal.
"Oh, thank you Kizzy! You're the best!" Gwen thanked and hugged Kizzy.
"But on one condition." Kizzy continued.
"Okay, what do you want?" Gwen asked.
"Well, you know I've been meaning to get my own gym?" Kizzy asked.
"Yeah?" Gwen answered.
"Would it be alright if you can magically make one for me?" Kizzy asked.
"Sure. I can do that. It's a deal." Gwen agreed.
"Wonderful. I know just what those two cups need. Bring them to the outdoor training grounds at 5 AM. Don't be late." Kizzy instructed.
"You got it Kiz." Gwen agreed.
Both girls hug and Gwen returns Kizzy back home then returns to have dinner with her family. Later, when the cups struggle to get ready for bed with their large bellies, Gwen enters their room.
"Guys, I have some good news." Gwen announced.
"Oooh! Are we going somewhere fun?" Both cups asked.
"Not exactly. You guys are going somewhere early tomorrow morning." Gwen answered.
"What is it?" Cuphead asked.
"Don't leave us hanging!" Mugman added.
"Well, you two got hanging bellies from Chef Saltbaker's sweets. So, I talked to Kizzy, and she's agreed to help you two lose of all that weight to fit in your new tuxedos. So, she wants me to bring you two to her outdoor training grounds first thing in the morning. I'll wake you guys up and we'll head there." Gwen explained.
Both cups gasped and groaned.
"But she's too hardcore!" Cuphead whined.
"And she's too strict!" Mugman added.
"Exactly. So, you two go to sleep. You got a lot of work to do tomorrow. Good night." Gwen said and leaves their bedroom.
Both cups groaned as they struggled to climb in their bunk bed. Finally, they get in their beds and went to sleep.
Early in the morning, Gwen goes to wake the cups up and enters their room and turned on the lights.
"Rise and shine guys!" Gwen called.
But to her shock, she finds them gone, making her facepalm.
"You ding-dongs are not getting off that easily!" Gwen grumbled.
Outside the cottage, the cups are revealed to be hiding in the bushes.
"You sure this is gonna work Cuphead?" Mugman whispered.
"Just trust me Mugsy." Cuphead whispered.
Just then, they hear Gwen calling their names.
"Cuphead! Mugman! Where are you?"
Both cups ducked down in the bushes and remained very quiet. They hear footsteps arriving until they walk past their hiding spot.
"Phew! That was close!" Cuphead said.
"Yeah." Mugman agreed.
"Yeah, super close." Another voice whispered.
Both cups looked and see Gwen joined them in their hiding spot.
"What are we hiding from fellas?" Gwen asked, pretending to be excited.
"We're hiding from you, so we don't have to work out with Kizzy." Mugman answered.
"Oh, that's nice." Gwen said calmly.
"Yeah." Cuphead agreed.
Suddenly, both cups' eyes widened.
"GWEN?!" Both cups exclaimed.
Before the cups could run, Gwen used telekinesis on her friends and lifted them out of the bush as she stood on her feet.
"You dolts didn't think I'd fall for a stupid trick like that, did you?!" Gwen angrily asked.
"Uh…" Both cups hesitated to answer.
"Let's go guys. I owe Kizzy a huge favor for her helping you guys fit back into your tuxedoes again." Gwen grumbled.
Later, Gwen brings the cups to the training grounds where Kizzy is waiting for them.
"Hey girl!" Kizzy greeted.
"Hey Kiz! I caught these two trying to sneak off!" Gwen said as she lowered her friends down to the ground.
"Woah. You two put on a lot of weight. Well, with my training, we'll get you two back to your old bodies in no time." Kizzy said, taking a good look at the cup's weight gain.
"Don't remind us." Cuphead groaned as he and Mugman struggle to get up.
"Alright you two, let's start with warmups! Follow my movements!" Kizzy instructed.
Kizzy starts their workout with stretches with her arms and legs. But the cups struggle to keep up.
After warming up, Kizzy got to work by having the cups run around the track. But they keep running out of breath and stopping every 5 seconds. Kizzy and Gwen keep watch over them.
"This is gonna take a long while." Kizzy said.
"I know, but don't give up on them." Gwen said.
Kizzy sighed, knowing she had her work cut out for her.
For the next few days, Kizzy puts Cuphead and Mugman through her vigorous workouts such as pushups, pullups, cardio, lifting weights and making healthier choices of eating. Mugman begins to lose weight while Cuphead still struggled with escape attempts and getting caught by Gwen each time.
One day, Gwen and Kizzy sat together watching the cups working out.
"How are they doing Kiz?" Gwen asked.
"Mugsy's losin' weight and improvin'. Cups on the other hand is still strugglin'." Kizzy answered.
"Hmm. I think what Cuphead needs is another motivation since fitting back in his tuxedo isn't working." Gwen said.
"Like what?" Kizzy asked.
"Maybe Chef Saltbaker can help me with that." Gwen answered.
"Wait, isn't he that chef guy who tried to kill you and Rose? Why would you ask him for help?" Kizzy asked confused.
"I know he did that to me and Rose. But Kai-Ming's been making sure he's been behaving himself and so far, he's remorseful of what he did. He's slowly earning my trust back." Gwen assured her.
"Okay. Just be careful. I don't want him hurtin' you again." Kizzy said, fearing for Gwen's safety.
"I will. I'll be right back." Gwen said.
Gwen disappears to Chef Saltbaker's bakery and enters the shop. She noticed Chef Saltbaker struggling to carrying heavy bags of flour. He suddenly almost dropped the bags until Gwen used telekinesis on the bags of flour and placed them on the shelf. Chef Saltbaker looked and saw Gwen standing in his kitchen.
"Kid! I didn't expect to see you here." Chef Saltbaker said, not expecting to see Gwen.
"Well, I have a good reason." Gwen said as she approached Chef Saltbaker.
"So, what brings you here?" Chef Saltbaker asked.
"I need your help with something." Gwen said.
"Anything." Chef Saltbaker said.
"I know my buddies are responsible for eating all your sweets and I apologize." Gwen said.
"Kid, it's not your fault." Chef Saltbaker assured her.
"Well, I'm trying to get them to lose weight with my friend Kizzy's help. Mugman is improving but Cuphead is struggling. So, I thought maybe you could somehow motivate him to stop with his escape attempts and somehow get him to go with Kizzy's workout program and lose the extra weight he gained?" Gwen asked and explained.
"Hmm. I can do that. I know just the thing to get him to get his act together." Chef Saltbaker said, getting an idea.
"Oh, thank you Chef!" Gwen thanked and hugged him.
Chef Saltbaker hugged her back.
"Alright, where's the cups?" Chef Saltbaker asked.
"Hang on." Gwen said.
She teleports themselves back to the training grounds.
"Gwen! There you are!" Kizzy said.
"Kizzy, this is Chef Saltbaker. Chef Saltbaker, this is Kizzy Thompson. My old childhood friend." Gwen introduced.
Chef Saltbaker shakes hands with Kizzy.
"Uh, hi." Kizzy nervously greeted.
"Nice to meet you, Kizzy." Chef Saltbaker kindly greeted.
Mugman came up to the group.
"Hey Chef Saltbaker! What brings you here?" Mugman asked.
"Oh, Gwen here needed my help with your brother and so she brought me here." Chef Saltbaker answered.
"Cuphead's over there doing pushups." Mugman said and pointed in a direction.
That's when they notice Cuphead has disappeared yet again.
"Oh no. Not again!" Mugman exclaimed and facepalmed.
"Hang on." Gwen said.
She magically sets up a donut near a tree.
Gwen takes Chef Saltbaker, Kizzy and Mugman and hide in the bushes.
Just then, they hear Cuphead gasping at the sight of the donut and walked to the donut when suddenly… SNAP!
A rope snatched Cuphead's foot, pulling him up the tree and hanging upside down. The group approach Cuphead hanging from the tree branch.
Gwen tsked at Cuphead's latest escape attempt.
"Cuphead, why do you keep resisting the program?" Gwen asked.
"I can't do it! I hate working out!" Cuphead whined.
Suddenly… SNAP!
The rope snapped and Cuphead fell to the ground.
"OOF!" Cuphead exclaimed.
Cuphead got up and noticed Chef Saltbaker among the group.
"Hey Chef Saltbaker! What are you doing here?" Cuphead asked.
"Well, Gwen has told me you are working off the weight you and your brother gained from eating all my sweets…" Chef Saltbaker scolded.
Cuphead chuckled nervously.
"And Kizzy here is donating her time to help you and your brother get healthy again." Chef Saltbaker continued.
"Yeah?" Cuphead asked.
"It's not fair to her that you're wasting your time trying to get out of the program. If I were you, I would start taking this work out thing seriously." Chef Saltbaker advised.
"Why?" Cuphead asked.
"Because if you don't, you'll never eat another of my sweets ever again!" Chef Saltbaker warned.
Cuphead gasped and quickly resumed his pushups.
"Wow, that got him." Kizzy said, impressed.
For the next few days, Mugman helps Cuphead lose the weight like he did with Kizzy, Gwen and Chef Saltbaker keeping watch over them.
Sometime later, Cuphead and Mugman finally reached his goal of losing the extra weight gain together. Kizzy, Gwen, and Chef Saltbaker approve of their success.
"Well done you two!" Kizzy congratulated.
Just as Gwen clapped for her cup brothers, she suddenly felt two hands cover her mouth and was pulled quickly into the bushes. Gwen struggled to break free when she noticed her kidnapper was none other than King Dice. He carries her deeper into the woods.
"Gotcha, you irritating human! The boss will be pleased that I finally captured you and delivered to you this time." King Dice bragged.
Gwen struggled to yell for help and break free.
King Dice reached the stairway down to Hell, preparing to carry her down in the darkness.
"Your luck just ran out doll!" King Dice taunted.
Suddenly, he felt two taps on his shoulders, making his eyes widen. King Dice slowly turned around and noticed the two large frogs Ribby and Croaks looking down on him angrily.
"Yeah… YOURS!" Croaks yelled.
Both frogs raised their fists and Gwen managed to dodge their punches, allowing them to punch King Dice in his face. Croaks lifts Gwen in his arms as Ribby knocked King Dice down to the ground.
"Hey there kid. Need a hand?" Ribby asked Gwen.
"Yes, thank you guys." Gwen thanked.
King Dice weakly stands on his feet.
"No! Please don't hurt me!" King Dice begged.
"Oh, you got us all wrong. We're not gonna hurt ya." Ribby said.
"You're not?" King Dice asked confused.
"No… she is!" Croaks added and gestured him to look.
King Dice nervously looked behind him and noticed Kizzy, cracking her knuckles.
"Oh no…" King Dice said worryingly.
BAM!
Kizzy delivered a well-deserved punch at King Dice's nose, sending him falling down the stairway down to Hell. Gwen smiled smugly at King Dice's misery and the torture he was going to suffer from his boss for his failure. Gwen started snickering.
"Eh, what's so funny kid?" Croaks asked.
"Oh, it's hilarious every time King Dice gets his 'just desserts.'" Gwen answered and laughed.
Croaks places Gwen down and looked at Kizzy.
"Kizzy, thank you. You, Ribby and Croaks." Gwen thanked.
"No problem girl. I've been meaning to give that blockhead another broken nose." Kizzy bragged.
The group watched as they hear King Dice groaned in pain from falling down the long staircase. When King Dice finally reached the bottom of the stairs, he looks and notices familiar feet in front of him, making him gulp in fear.
"Let me guess, you failed again?" The Devil asked, giving an unamused look.
King Dice chuckled nervously.
"Another disappointment. You're on sanitation duty… again." The Devil said, giving King Dice his punishment as he handed him a mop and bucket.
King Dice sighed sadly as he got up and took the cleaning supplies to start his punishment.
Back at the surface, the group rejoin Chef Saltbaker and the cups.
"There you are! What happened?" Chef Saltbaker asked.
"We had a pest control problem, but it's all taken care of." Kizzy answered.
"Oh neat!" Cuphead complimented.
"She was lucky we was in the neighborhood when we noticed our student bein' snatched." Ribby said.
"Thanks guys. Wait, what were you guys doing out here anyway?" Gwen asked.
"It's been a while since you trained with us. You okay kid?" Croaks asked.
"Sorry guys. The wedding is getting closer. I've been busy." Gwen answered.
"Have you fitted in your wedding dress?" Mugman asked.
"Well… not recently." Gwen nervously admitted.
"Why don't you go check just in case?" Kizzy suggested.
"Fine. I will." Gwen agreed.
Gwen teleported away, leaving the group behind. Five minutes later, Gwen reappeared back and had a frustrated look on her face.
"So? Do you still fit?" Cuphead asked.
"Ugh! I think I put on a little weight!" Gwen complained.
"Looks like you need to start getting back into shape yourself girl." Kizzy said.
"Don't worry. We'll take care of that." Ribby said as he and Croaks grab Gwen's upper arms.
"Oh no…" Gwen said worryingly.
"Let's go kid. We've got a special workout routine for you." Croaks said as he and Ribby lift Gwen up.
"Uh oh…" Gwen said worryingly.
Both frogs carry Gwen away to their training spot.
"Looks like the bride's gotta get in shape too." Cuphead said.
"She'll be fine. She's dealt with them lots of times." Kizzy said.
"Hopefully they won't try to kill her." Mugman said.
Later, Gwen is struggling to do sit-ups on a tree branch. Croaks held her feet to keep her from slipping off.
"100…" Gwen counted as she ran out of breath and sweating.
"Now… give us another 100!" Ribby ordered her.
Gwen groaned in agony and continued doing sit-ups. Throughout the afternoon, the frogs kept training Gwen to help her lose weight and get her stronger.
Next week, Gwen and the cups head to the wedding dress shop to try on her wedding dress. Rose helped her sister slip into the dress with no problem.
"Look at you sis. Clarence is the luckiest man in the worlds." Rose said.
"Yeah. I've been lucky to meet him after Cuphead beat the Devil at Rock, Paper, Scissors." Gwen said.
"Yeah. We're getting closer to freeing you from the Devil for good." Rose said.
Gwen smiled at Rose, knowing she was right.
"Alright, you ready to show the ladies?" Rose asked.
Gwen nodded.
Gwen and Rose exit the dressing room and show Margarine, Kizzy, Akilah, Cordelia, and Ms. Chalice her wedding dress. Everyone cheered Gwen on as she showed off her dress.
"Good job girl! Those frogs whipped you back into shape." Kizzy complimented.
"Thanks Kiz. They were hard on me as usual." Gwen said, wincing at the thought of going through their rigorous training.
"Well, darling, you fit in your dress again. Your hard work has paid off." Margarine complimented.
"Thanks mama." Gwen thanked.
"You are beautiful no matter your dress size." Akilah said.
"She's right sugar." Cordelia agreed.
"Thanks girls." Gwen thanked.
Ms. Chalice hopped on Gwen's shoulders.
"Yeah girlfriend! We've been keepin' ourselves in shape to fit in our pretty blue dresses!" Ms. Chalice said.
"Good for you Chalice." Gwen complimented.
Gwen smiled at her friends, sister, and mother.
Meanwhile, Cuphead and Mugman join Clarence, Edgar, William, Isaiah, Elijah, and Virgil for their tuxedo fittings.
The cups fit into their formal tuxedoes without any problem.
"Wow! Our tuxedoes fit!" Cuphead exclaimed.
"Yeah! Our hard work has finally paid off!" Mugman added.
"Nice job fellas! We'll be lookin' nice for the wedding." Clarence complimented.
"That's right boys. Just keep your tuxedoes clean and tidy until then." Edgar advised.
"We will daddy-o." Both cups promised.
The rest of the men try on their formal tuxedoes and are prepared to wear them for the wedding.
Meanwhile down in the depths of Hell, the Devil once again sat angrily on his throne while King Dice continued to mop the floor. Henchman comes in with his serving cart with a pot of tea and teacup.
"Duh, hey boss! Teatime!" Henchman announced.
The Devil took a deep breath, took his cup, and drank the tea in one gulp, trying to make himself feel better.
Just then, his imp therapist entered the throne room. The Devil groaned, knowing he has another session to do.
"Another failed attempt to kidnap her?" The imp therapist asked.
"Well, King Dice failed me again. I wasn't there." The Devil grumbled.
"Well, since the human is getting in shape, have you thought of getting yourself in shape?" The imp therapist asked.
"What's that supposed to mean?" The Devil angrily asked.
"When was the last time you exercised, strength training, cardio, yoga?" The imp therapist asked.
"Uhh…" The Devil hesitated to answer.
"I thought so. Maybe you should consider working out. To make your body and mind feel better." The imp therapist advised.
"UGH! FINE! I'LL WORKOUT THEN!" The Devil snapped.
Later, the Devil was in his personal workout gym, but he is struggling to do pushups, lift weights, cardio, and yoga. Henchman and the imp therapist watch their boss but they both shook their heads out of disapproval.
"Duh, he's totally out of shape." Henchman said.
"I HEARD THAT!" The Devil shouted as he slumped to the ground out of breath.
Gwen and her friends feel proud of themselves for keeping themselves healthy and fit not just to fit in their wedding outfits, but for themselves to keep their bodies healthy to live longer lives, even though everyone's metabolism is different. Gwen also came through on the deal and magically created the gym Kizzy wanted and now has her own gym.
