It was a sunny afternoon, and Gwen was trying out the wedding dress for her big day as she walked down the aisle with a bouquet of flowers alone in the Catholic church she and Clarence are to wed in.
"Practicing walking down the aisle again?" A familiar voice asked.
Gwen turned and saw her sister Rose standing at the back of the church.
"I'm just rehearsing for the big day you know." Gwen said.
"I know. It's almost here." Rose said.
Gwen sat down in a church bench as Rose walked down and joined her.
"I just want this over with. Get married, settle down. We're even looking into finding our own place to live. I've dreamed of this for too long." Gwen said.
"I know. It will happen." Rose assured her.
"And when it does, what then?" Gwen asked.
"Well, that's the good part. You get to chase a new dream." Rose said.
"What was your new dream after you married William?" Gwen asked.
"Well, have children and raise them, once they're off to college and become their own adults, William and I will retire and spend our golden years together until our time comes." Rose said.
"That's nice." Gwen said.
Gwen thought how her life is going to turn out. Live her life, raise children and become the goddess Gosa when her time comes.
"Until then, I need to be ready for whatever the Devil's planning. I'm not out of the woods yet." Gwen said, worryingly.
"We will. At least using your godly powers against the Devil was smart thinking." Rose said.
"Thanks. I know I promised you not to take the bracelet off and I'm still keeping it don't get me wrong. I was just thinking maybe save those powers for fighting the Devil and nothing else. It really has weakened him unlike anything I did to him before." Gwen suggested.
Rose thought about it for a moment.
"Well… okay. But only for the Devil and if you really need to like it's the last resort." Rose stated her conditions.
"Thank you for trusting me." Gwen thanked.
"Of course." Rose said.
Both sisters sat with each other for a while until they both returned home.
After doing some household chores around the cottage, Gwen decided to check on her palace in Heaven. She teleports back to her palace and checked everything. When she does so, she sits in her throne for a while thinking.
"What troubles you my lady Gosa?" The lead servant asked.
"Oh, do I really have what it takes to be a goddess? To rule over mortals? What if I'm not cut out for this?" Gwen asked, having doubts.
"It is common to have doubts my lady. You will learn in time with experience and perseverance. It is important to make smart decisions, but it is also important to make decisions with your heart." The lead servant advised.
"Hmm. Maybe you're right. What if I learned from people who are rulers? Like a king and queen?" Gwen asked after thinking about it.
"Perhaps. It never hurts to get a few pointers from experienced rulers." The lead servant said.
"I think I know just the people to learn from." Gwen said getting an idea.
"Is it something to do with traveling to another land in the human world?" The lead servant asked.
"Yes. I won't be long." Gwen said, getting up from her throne.
"Be careful my lady. The Devil is still after you." The lead servant said.
"I will, thank you." Gwen thanked as the servants bowed down to her.
Gwen disappears back to her room in the cottage. She grabbed another travel magazine that featured a grand palace in a place called United Kingdom in the country of England.
"Buckingham Palace. If anybody knows how to rule, it's the king himself." Gwen said to herself.
Gwen packed her satchel and prepared to tap her ink pen to Great Britain.
"Three…two…one…" Gwen counted down, hinting her friends.
She tapped her ink pen and felt her friends jump on her.
"SURPRISE!" All three cups exclaimed.
They appear in a large city in England known as London.
"Before you guys ask, welcome to London." Gwen announced.
"London?" Both cups asked.
"Where is London exactly?" Ms. Chalice asked.
"London is the capital of England." Gwen answered.
"England." Mugman said.
"England is also part of the United Kingdom." Gwen continued.
"United Kingdom." Cuphead repeated.
"Kingdom? As in kings and queens?" Ms. Chalice asked.
"Yep. This place has very powerful figures. The King and Queen of England." Gwen said as she pointed at the palace.
"OOH!" All three cups said in awe.
"Yep. Behold guys, Buckingham Palace." Gwen announced.
"Wait, why are you suddenly interested of royals?" Cuphead asked.
"Well guys, if I'm gonna be a goddess, I need to learn how to rule. So, I'm gonna ask the king himself." Gwen answered.
"How hard can it be?" Ms. Chalice asked.
"There's so much to learn and do." Gwen answered.
"Ooh! Is that them over there?" Mugman asked, pointing in a direction.
The group looked and saw the king and queen on a balcony waving to a large gathering of people outside the closed gates.
"Good guy Mugsy, let's go!" Gwen said.
The group head down to Buckingham Palace and get as far with the crowd blocking their way.
"Who are they?" Ms. Chalice asked.
"That is King George VI and Queen Elizabeth." Gwen answered.
"Ooh! Who are those little girls over there?" Mugman asked, pointing to two young girls.
"Those are the Crown Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret." Gwen answered.
"Crown Princess?" Cuphead asked.
"Yes, Princess Elizabeth is next in line for the throne after her father King George VI. In other words, she'll be the next ruler as Queen." Gwen explained.
"Cool." Mugman said.
"Indeed." A young British male voice said.
Gwen felt scared and prepared to strike who she thought at first was the Devil. To her shock, it was a young noble gentleman as he flinched in horror.
"Oh. I'm so sorry. I thought you were somebody else." Gwen apologized and lowered her fist.
"Well, I may have a familiar face. But I accept your apology." The gentleman said.
"Oh thanks." Gwen thanked.
"Who are you fancy man?" Ms. Chalice asked.
"Funny you should ask. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Marquess Constantine Aitken." Constantine introduced himself.
"Constantine." Cuphead said.
"And you are…?" Constantine asked.
"Oh. Gwendolyn Mae Emmons. Call me Gwen." Gwen introduced herself.
"Gwen." Constantine repeated.
"And these are my best friends Cuphead, Mugman and Ms. Chalice." Gwen introduced her friends.
All three of them waved.
"How odd of them to have cups for heads." Constantine said staring at them.
Ms. Chalice jumped in Gwen's arms and angrily pulled Constantine in her face
"Hey pal! Do we go around judging what your human heads look like? Do we?!" Ms. Chalice asked feeling insulted.
"Yeah, you tell him Chalice!" Cuphead encouraged.
"Oh, um…" Constantine struggled to speak.
"That's what I thought. Now apologize!" Ms. Chalice demanded.
"Alright! I'm sorry!" Constantine apologized.
"That's better." Ms. Chalice said as she released him.
"Was that necessary Chalice?" Gwen asked.
"Girlfriend, you gotta get in his face. Show him who's boss." Ms. Chalice said.
"What exactly are you children?" Constantine asked.
"They're none of your concern. Look, we're waiting for the royals to finish up so we can go talk to the king." Gwen said impatiently.
"You want to see the king?" Constantine asked then laughed.
"You find that funny because…?" Mugman asked.
"If you're trying to seek an audience with our king, I'm afraid you're wasting your time. He is a very hard man to get close to." Constantine warned.
"Thanks for the advice. Now beat it pretty boy." Gwen insulted.
Gwen and the cups leave Constantine and find another way to the palace gates. They approach a couple of royal guards.
"Greetings, I would like to speak to the King himself please." Gwen politely requested.
"I am sorry, but the king will see no one. No one gets near our king unless he calls for your presence. Now be off with you!" A royal guard declined.
"Aw come on pal, it'll be quick." Cuphead protested.
"Cuphead! Don't push them or we'll be arrested!" Mugman scolded.
"Sir, I apologize for my friend." Gwen apologized.
"If I were you ma'am, I would that insolent child some proper manners. Now all of you be gone or you will all be locked up in the London Tower." The royal guard warned.
"I can't go back to jail!" Mugman cried.
"You won't Mugsy, let's go. That's the last place in London we wanna go." Gwen rejectingly said and leaves with the cups.
They walk down the street until they are once again approached by Constantine.
"So, how did it go with the king?" Constantine asked tauntingly.
"Well, um…" Gwen struggled to answer.
"Well, I hate to say it but…" Constantine was about to say until Gwen raised her fist.
"One word of 'I told you so' and I'll mess up your pretty smug face!" Gwen threatened.
"Is that a threat I hear in your tone? Not a very convincing threat I must say." Constantine said unfazed.
"What is your problem? Does watching others fail make you feel better about your pathetic miserable high-class life?" Gwen asked impatiently.
"Actually no. I may be a man of nobility, but I do get joy out tending royal public events and I don't see many Americans at these gatherings." Constantine answered.
"Wait, how'd you know I'm American?" Gwen asked.
"An engaged New Englander artist to be exact. Judging from the ring on your finger, your accent and behavior along with that inkwell and ink pen you carry on your belt. Am I right?" Constantine said, figuring Gwen out.
"Wow, you're good I'll give you that." Gwen admitted.
"Tell me, why do want an audience with the king himself?" Constantine asked.
"Explain to me how that's any of your business." Gwen said.
"I have my reasons. If you did meet the king, what exactly do you want to ask him?" Constantine kept asking.
"Well, I wanna know how he rules England. How rulers rule a kingdom. You know, royal duties and all?" Gwen finally admitted.
"If you wish to learn these things, why don't you study politics in college? You are a student, are you not?" Constantine asked, figuring she was a college student.
"How very astute of you." Mugman complimented.
"Thank you, Mugman." Constantine thanked.
"Are you some kind of mind reader?" Cuphead asked.
"No Cuphead. I just simply read body language, study behavior and how you dress. I don't need magic to figure people out." Constantine explained.
"Wow. Impressive." Ms. Chalice said.
"Thank you, Ms. Chalice. I am also curious, why does an art student wish to learn about how rulers rule their country?" Constantine asked.
"It's for a college assignment." Gwen lied.
"Really? And I thought you wish to be a ruler yourself." Constantine admitted.
"Well… not exactly…" Gwen nervously admitted.
"Well regardless, I could show you." Constantine offered.
"You? How?" Gwen asked.
"I am of nobility. And I have learned over the years how one must properly rule. It will be hard work." Constantine answered.
"Well…" Gwen hesitated.
"Of course you could try your luck again seeing the king." Constantine said.
"Okay! Okay! You win. When do we start?" Gwen asked, having no choice.
"Come to the Aitken Estate tomorrow at noon. And don't be late." Constantine instructed.
"Oh, okay." Gwen said.
"Good day to you all. See you tomorrow." Constantine said and took off.
"So, you're gonna take lessons from that weirdo?" Cuphead asked.
"Looks like it. I learned ballet in Russia, I can learn how to be a ruler in England." Gwen said.
"Just don't get too snobby like him." Ms. Chalice pointed out.
"Don't worry I won't." Gwen assured her.
The next day, Gwen and the cups teleported to the Aitken Estate and are awestruck by the size of the house. Before Gwen could knock, a male servant opens the door.
"Miss Emmons, I presume?" The servant asked.
"Y-Yes?" Gwen nervously answered.
"Marquess Constantine is expecting you. Please come in." The servant gestured her to come in.
The group step inside and look around the large fancy main hallway.
"Wow, nice place he's got here." Cuphead said looking around.
Another servant takes Gwen's coat and satchel.
"Right this way please." The servant instructed.
The group follow the servant into the large living room as Constantine was sitting in his chair.
"Ah, Gwen. Welcome. Are you ready to learn how to rule?" Constantine asked.
"Yeah, let's do this." Gwen said as she was about to sit down.
"Wait a minute." Constantine said, stopping her.
"For starters, you will answer in a proper manner, and you will stand unless asked to be seated." Constantine corrected her.
Gwen sighed.
"May I sit down please?" Gwen asked.
"Please be seated." Constantine answered.
Gwen sits down in the chair and crossed her legs.
"First, shoulders up, back straight. And never cross your legs. Slant your legs to the side when you're sitting." Constantine said as he demonstrated.
Gwen tries it but she struggles to keep still. Ms. Chalice tries doing it, but she falls over on the floor.
"Ow." Ms. Chalice groaned as the two cups snickered.
"I would appreciate it if you three remain silent or you will be asked to go to another room." Constantine scolded.
The three cups quiet down. Gwen tries to maintain a royal posture.
"Break your habit of crossing your legs and practice slanting your legs." Constantine advised.
"Got it." Gwen answered.
"And you will speak properly." Constantine also pointed out.
"I mean, yes sir." Gwen corrected herself.
"Very good. Now come, it is time for tea." Constantine said.
In the dining room, Gwen and Constantine sit at the table as a teapot and cups were placed along with a platter of biscuits and mini sandwiches.
"Now, when you're dining, you must show your best etiquette. Like how to properly hold a teacup and sipping." Constantine explained as he held up his cup and demonstrated.
"Oh. Okay." Gwen said as she held up her teacup and sipped.
"Do not slurp, take small sips. And look into your cup when you're sipping." Constantine corrected.
Gwen follows his instructions.
"Very good. Now, let's move on." Constantine said.
Next, Constantine teaches her how royals dress, wear a tiara, how to behave around other royal members, how to hold a fork and knife, how to properly excuse themselves from the table, and how to walk and stand like a royal, how to shake hands formally and how to properly greet guests.
"Wow, there's so much to learn about being royalty." Gwen said as she practiced balance with a book on her head.
"I told you it would be hard work. Now, what is the proper way to greet another royal?" Constantine asked.
Gwen took the book off her head. She takes a light curtsy and gives Constantine a firm handshake.
"How do you do." Gwen spoke like a lady.
"I am very well your majesty." Constantine answered properly.
Gwen kept her composure.
"Very good. You are learning." Constantine complimented.
"Why, thank you Sir Constantine." Gwen thanked properly.
"I am sure you are going to do well with this assignment of yours." Constantine said.
"Yes, I hope so too." Gwen said as she gathered her satchel.
"If you don't mind me asking, where exactly are you and your friends from?" Constantine asked.
Gwen paused, hesitating to answer.
"We're not exactly from around here." Mugman said.
"Am I to assume you are from a world far different from our own?" Constantine asked, figuring it out.
"Yeah, you could say that." Cuphead answered.
"Why does it concern you?" Gwen asked.
"I am most curious to learn of your world. Perhaps when the time is right, you could take me with you to your world. I agreed to teach you royal etiquette and now you can return me the favor." Constantine pointed out.
"Well, we'll see. But only if you promise to keep it all a secret and never speak a word of this to anyone." Gwen wanted him to promise.
"You have my word." Constantine promised.
"Okay then." Ms. Chalice said as she ate a mini sandwich.
"We'll, we better get home. Here's my business card when you want to see the Inkwell Isles." Gwen said handing him her business card.
"Inkwell Isles? Is that the name of your world?" Constantine asked.
"Yep. It's our home." Cuphead answered as he ate a crumpet.
"It's just off the coast, maybe 29 miles." Mugman added as he sipped some tea.
"I shall give you a call when I am ready to see the Inkwell Isles." Constantine said as he placed the business card in his coat pocket.
"Alright, we'll see you later. Good day." Gwen said.
"Bye!" All three cups said.
"Good day to you all." Constantine said.
Gwen and the cups leave the Aitken Estate then teleport back to the cottage.
"That was fun." Cuphead said as he ate another biscuit.
"Yeah. We got to experience the finer things unlike with Ludwig." Mugman said.
"Ugh. Don't remind me." Gwen grumbled as she winced at the memories of Ludwig.
"Well, I'm gonna head home. I'll see you fellas later." Ms. Chalice said and went through the door portal.
"Bye Chalice!" Both cups called.
After having dinner with her family, Gwen goes upstairs to her room to rest. She tried practicing etiquette on her bed and discovers she's getting better at it.
"Just gotta learn proper manners and I'll be a proper goddess in no time." Gwen said to herself.
Another thought struck her. She was curious to watch the royal family in person and got a crazy idea. She teleports back to London and noticed the guards were still at their posts. She takes cover behind a building and shapeshifted into her ghost form and turned herself invisible. She flies through the gates and into Buckingham Palace.
She makes her way around the palace, taking in the sights of paintings, statues and displays of royal items. She makes her way to the dining room and watched the royal family eat dinner together and socialized.
Later, the king and queen help their daughters get ready for bed. After tucking the princesses in, they retreat to their bed chambers. Gwen floated down and transformed into her goddess form as she glowed.
"That was amazing. Watching the royals. Well, I should go before someone catches me." Gwen said to herself.
But before Gwen could teleport out of the palace, a young voice spoke to her.
"Who are you ma'am?"
Gwen's eyes widened and gasped in horror. She slowly turned to see an awake Princess Elizabeth behind her.
"I said 'who are you?'" Princess Elizabeth said.
"Uh… I am Lady Gosa." Gwen nervously introduced her goddess name and gave her a curtsy.
"Wait a minute, I know who you are." Princess Elizabeth said, looking at Gwen's appearance.
"No, you don't know who I am." Gwen nervously said.
"Yes, I do. I know that you're… the Fairy Godmother." Princess Elizabeth said.
Gwen's eyes popped, then she decided to go along with it to avoid getting caught.
"Why… yes, your highness. How very perceptive of you." Gwen said in a lady-like manner as she held her ink pen like a magic wand.
"I didn't know you had a name Lady Gosa. Have you come to grant me a wish like you have for Cinderella at the ball?" Princess Elizabeth asked.
"Why yes of course I have. What is your heart's desire my child?" Gwen asked giving her a smile.
Princess Elizabeth thought for a moment. Then, she had an idea.
"Alright then, I wish for a night out." Princess Elizabeth answered.
"My dear, you must be specific with your wish. What do you wish to do for your night out? That is how wishes work my dear. The deal is in the detail." Gwen asked while trying to be polite and explained.
"Well, when you put it that way, I wish to fly on a flying horse in the night sky." Princess Elizabeth requested.
"As you wish." Gwen said as she raised her ink pen.
She teleports them to a little cottage called the Y Bwthyn Bach in the gardens. She magically makes a white winged horse appear before them, equipped with a saddle and reins.
"Your night ride awaits you, your highness. This is Pegasus." Gwen said as she bowed the crown princess.
Princess Elizabeth could barely contain her excitement and hops on Pegasus.
"Pegasus, take this sweet princess for the best flight of her life." Gwen instructed as Pegasus neighed.
"Yah!" Princess Elizabeth yelled.
Pegasus flies off into the sky as Princess Elizabeth was astounded with flying above the ground.
"Higher!" Princess Elizabeth commanded.
Pegasus flew higher above the clouds as she laughed excitedly. Gwen was observing the crown princess on Cerulean Bolt, making sure she didn't fall off or get hurt.
Pegasus continued flying across the sky until Princess Elizabeth grew tired.
"Alright, I am finished." Princess Elizabeth said as she yawned.
Pegasus flew back down to the cottage in the gardens where Gwen was waiting for her.
"How was your flight, your highness?" Gwen asked.
"It was amazing! I was flying across the sky!" Princess Elizabeth answered excitedly.
"Are you happy with your wish?" Gwen asked.
"Hmm… actually there is more." Princess Elizabeth answered.
Gwen's face dropped but kept her composure.
"Which is…?" Gwen asked nervously.
"I wish to have the best chocolate perfection pie please along with sweets and chocolates." Princess Elizabeth answered.
"Very well then." Gwen said.
Gwen seats themselves at a little table and magically made a chocolate pie, sweets and chocolates appear before them. She magically serves the crown princess a slice.
"Here you are my dear." Gwen said.
"Thank you. Would you care for a slice?" Princess Elizabeth asked.
"Why thank you." Gwen thanked as she magically served herself.
Both of them dined and sipped tea together.
"This is the best night of my life." Princess Elizabeth said.
"I'm so glad you love your wish. Is it true you're going to be queen someday?" Gwen asked.
"Yes, my papa is the king, and I am next in line." Princess Elizabeth answered.
"I'm sure you're going to be the best queen the United Kingdom has ever had." Gwen said as she winked.
"You really believe that?" Princess Elizabeth asked.
"I have the utmost faith in you." Gwen answered.
Princess Elizabeth smiled as they finished the sweets and chocolates together. Princess Elizabeth yawned, feeling tired.
"Oh, it looks like you're ready to return to bed." Gwen said as she got up.
"Yes, I need to get back before they discover I'm gone." Princess Elizabeth said worryingly.
"Not to worry my dear." Gwen assured her as she wrapped her arm around her.
She teleports themselves back in the palace in the royal nursery where Princess Margaret was still sleeping. Gwen tucks Princess Elizabeth in her bed.
"Good night my sweet princess." Gwen quietly said.
"Good night Gosa, Fairy Godmother." Princess Elizabeth whispered.
Gwen gives Princess Elizabeth a gentle kiss on her forehead. Just then, Princess Elizabeth gives Gwen a heartwarming hug. Gwen hugged Princess Elizabeth and put her to sleep. She quietly teleports out of the nursery and back into her own bedroom in the cottage.
Gwen sighed of relief.
"For a moment I thought I was busted. What a sweet kid the crown princess is." Gwen said as she transformed into her regular self.
She dresses in her night gown and goes to sleep in her bed.
The next day, Gwen prepares to go to school for her next lesson and continued her life as usual.
Back in the United Kingdom, Princess Elizabeth tells her family about her night with Gwen and the wishes she granted.
"Sounds like you had a… lovely dream my dear." King George VI complimented as he stammered.
"It was no dream papa; it was very real. Lady Gosa was real." Princess Elizabeth assured him.
"Now my dear, finish your breakfast and no more talk of fantasy." Queen Elizabeth said to her daughter.
"Yes, mama." Princess Elizabeth said then she continued eating.
"I want the Fairy Godmother to grant me a wish!" Princess Maragret said.
"If Lady Gosa comes back tonight, I'll ask her to grant you your wish." Princess Elizabeth promised.
"Lady Gosa?" King George VI asked.
"The Fairy Godmother." Princess Elizabeth added.
"Hmm." Queen Elizabeth said, unsure what her daughter said.
That night, Princess Elizabeth prayed by her bedside.
"Lady Gosa, if you are listening…" Princess Elizabeth prayed.
In her bed in the cottage, Gwen suddenly heard Princess Elizabeth's voice and woke up.
"… please return to the nursery and grant my little sister Margaret her wish while mama and papa are asleep." Princess Elizabeth's voice echoed in her head.
"Wow, that kid's actually praying to me to come back." Gwen said, amazed at her goddess ability.
Gwen sighed, then she got out of bed, transformed into her goddess form and disappeared. She magically appeared in the royal nursery and Princess Margaret was shocked at her presence while Princess Elizabeth was happy to see her again.
"Did someone ask for a wish?" Gwen asked.
"Lady Gosa! You are real!" Princess Margaret exclaimed.
"Well, seeing is believing my child." Gwen said.
"Gosa! I knew you'd come back!" Princess Elizabeth said as she hugged Gwen.
"Of course I did dear." Gwen said.
Gwen looked at Princess Margaret.
"Now tell me dear child, what is your heart's desire?" Gwen asked.
Princess Margaret thought for a moment and got an idea.
"I wish to become the most beautiful ballerina in the world." Princess Margaret announced.
"As you wish." Gwen said as she raised her ink pen.
She magically transformed Princess Margaret's nightgown into a stunning white swan-like ballerina dress with shining pink ballet slippers and white feathers in her hair similar to her friend Tatiana.
Princess Margaret looked in the large mirror and circled around, checking every inch of her dress.
"This… is… beautiful!" Princess Margaret happily exclaimed.
"I'm so glad you love it my dear." Gwen said, satisfied that Margaret was happy.
"Oh Gosa! Could you play music for me to dance?" Princess Margaret asked.
"Of course." Gwen said as she raised her ink pen.
She magically made classical instruments appear and they magically play 'Swan Lake'. Princess Margaret started dancing to the music as Gwen added glowing magical lights in the nursery to make it more magical.
Just then, a knock at the door was heard, making Gwen quickly stop the music and made the glowing lights disappear.
"Who's there?" Princess Elizabeth called.
"It is your f-father! What is all the… noise in there?" King George VI called.
"Nothing!" Both princesses called.
Before Gwen could teleport out, King George VI opened the door, making Gwen quickly retreat behind a room divider.
"Girls, what was all… that music? It sounded like… Swan Lake." King George VI asked.
"Oh papa, Margaret was just listening to Swan Lake again. Weren't you?" Princess Elizabeth lied and looked at Princess Margaret.
"Yes papa. I am sorry." Princess Margaret lied and apologized.
King George VI suspects something else was going on besides the music.
"Are you girls… hiding something?" King George VI asked suspiciously.
"No papa. We have nothing to hide." Princess Margaret answered.
"If that is so… why are you wearing… that ballerina dress? I have never… seen it before." King George VI asked, noticing Princess Margaret's ballerina dress.
"It's uh… a brand-new dress! It was a gift!" Princess Margaret tried to explain.
"From whom?" King George VI asked.
Gwen felt her heart beating fast, knowing she had to get out of there.
"Is someone… here with you? Perhaps this… Lady Gosa you spoke of earlier?" King George VI asked.
Just then, one of the king's corgi dogs entered the nursery and suddenly got a whiff of a brand-new scent. The corgi growled at the room divider, getting the King's attention.
"Dookie, did you… find someone?" King George VI asked.
Dookie went behind the room divider and barked at Gwen. She tried to shoo Dookie away until she was forced to use her ink pen to magically make Dookie go away and out of the nursery.
"Who are you back there? I demand… you to come out! Show yourself!" King George VI demanded.
Gwen took a deep breath, and slowly came out from behind the room divider and approached the King, feeling scared. King George VI is shocked at Gwen's glowing body and appearance.
"Papa, meet Lady Gosa." Princess Elizabeth nervously introduced.
King George VI slowly approached Gwen as she flinched.
"I'm so sorry sir! I didn't mean you and your daughters any harm! I was just about to leave! I'll go at once and never come back! I will never show my face here again!" Gwen fearfully explained.
Gwen was about teleport when the King took her hand, stopping her.
"You… what are you exactly? You appear to be a human girl… in a goddess form." King George VI asked, studying her appearance and noticed the magic inkwell.
"Uh…" Gwen hesitated to answer.
"Darling, is everything alright?" Queen Elizabeth called as she enters the nursery.
Queen Elizabeth is shocked and gasped at Gwen's presence.
"Bertie, who is this? I'll call for the guards and have her arrested at once!" Queen Elizabeth said as she prepared to call for the guards.
"No! Do not call… the guards! I will not… have her arrested. It turns out our girl's… fantasy Fairy Godmother is a… a real person after all." King George announced, stopping his wife.
"What? This is the Fairy Godmother you girls were telling us about? She's real?" Queen Elizabeth asked as she looked at Gwen closely.
"Yes, mama. She's real." Princess Elizabeth answered.
"Uh…" Gwen hesitated to answer.
"What is your name?" Queen Elizabeth asked.
"Lady Gosa." Gwen answered.
Queen Elizabeth took Gwen's ink pen and observed it closely.
"This ink pen is your magic wand?" Queen Elizabeth asked confused.
"In a way, yes ma'am." Gwen answered politely.
"You will address me as 'your majesty' the first time. After that, it's ma'am." Queen Elizabeth corrected her.
"Oh sorry. Ahem, in a way, yes… your majesty." Gwen answered properly and gave a curtsy.
"That'll do." Queen Elizabeth said as she continued to look at the ink pen.
"What is that glowing on your belt?" King George VI asked, pointing at the magic inkwell.
"Oh, this is the magic inkwell. It's my prized possession your majesty." Gwen answered.
"May I?" King George VI asked.
Gwen takes the magic inkwell off her belt and handed it to the King. He observes the magic inkwell very closely, noticing it's magical properties. Queen Elizabeth hands the ink pen back to Gwen.
"So, it was you… who granted my… daughters their wishes." King George VI said, figuring it out.
"Y-Y-Yes sir. I only gave them what their hearts desired. Nothing more." Gwen explained while trying to remain calm.
"What do you want from us?" Queen Elizabeth asked.
"I don't want anything from you. I just heard Princess Elizabeth pray to me to come here to grant her sister Princess Margaret her wish ma'am." Gwen answered.
"You grant wishes?" King George VI asked.
"I can do more than that sir. I also protect my home and help people." Gwen answered.
"And where is your home?" King George VI asked.
"That isn't important, but I will say this. It is in another world far beyond our own." Gwen hinted.
"If not today, I would like to inquire this 'world beyond our world' you speak of." King George VI said as he handed Gwen back her inkwell.
Gwen placed her inkwell back on her belt along with her ink pen.
"Well, I must return to my home. I apologize for intruding your home and I will never return. So, you don't need to worry." Gwen apologized.
"Wait, before you go… how can we… contact you if we need… you?" King George VI asked.
Gwen took a breath, then she reached in her dress pocket and pulled out her business card and handed it to the King.
"Here's my business card, your majesty. Good night to you all." Gwen said and gave one last curtsy.
Gwen teleported out of the nursery and back into her bedroom at the cottage. Gwen groaned in frustration.
"WHAT WAS THAT?! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING YOU IDIOT?!" Gwen yelled at herself.
Gwen tried taking a few deep breaths to calm down.
"Okay, maybe nothing will go wrong. I'll go back tomorrow and erase their memories and none of this will have happened according to them. Or maybe they'll say nothing." Gwen said to herself.
She tried to lay in bed and fall asleep.
After some time had passed, Gwen was focused on her studies in the living room while the three cups played marbles on the floor. Just then, her magical telephone rang.
"Who is it this time?" Gwen asked.
"Oh, my goodness! It's from someone called King George VI. He wants to speak with you!" Magic Telephone answered shockingly.
Gwen and the cups gasped at the news.
"The King… wants to speak to me?" Gwen asked.
Magic Telephone lifts the phone off her and handed it to Gwen.
"H-H-Hello?" Gwen nervously answered.
Gwen listened carefully to what the King had to say.
"You need my help, your majesty?" Gwen asked.
She listened as the cups drew closer, trying to listen.
"Of course, I will be over there right away sir." Gwen said and hung up the phone.
Gwen looked and noticed her friends giving displeased looks.
"What?" Gwen asked.
"When were you gonna tell us you finally met the King?!" Mugman angrily asked.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you later. I gotta go. The King wants to see me." Gwen said.
"Wait! We wanna come too!" Cuphead exclaimed.
"No guys. You gotta stay here." Gwen declined.
"Okay. I'm sure Rose would be very interested in knowing you broke your 'no traveling' promise." Ms. Chalice said.
"Oh, blackmailing me, are we?" Gwen asked.
"Pretty much." Ms. Chalice answered with a smirk.
Gwen groaned.
"Fine, you win! But you guys gotta be on your best behavior in the King's presence! Don't speak unless you're spoken to! You first address him as 'your majesty' then sir after that. Is that clear?" Gwen firmly reminded them.
"We promise!" All three cups promised.
Gwen teleports themselves back to Buckingham Palace in the nursery where King George VI was waiting for her.
"Guys, bow!" Gwen quietly instructed.
The group all bowed to the King.
"Ah, Lady Gosa. I've been expecting you." King George VI greeted.
"Yes, your majesty." Gwen answered.
"And who are these strange children? From the 'world beyond our world' I presume?" King George VI asked.
"I'd like to introduce my best friends. This is Cuphead, Mugman and Ms. Chalice." Gwen introduced her friends as they all waved.
"You have summoned me your majesty?" Gwen asked.
"Yes, we have a catastrophe! We have need of your magical abilities! Come with me at once!" King George VI fearfully exclaimed.
"That doesn't sound good." Cuphead said.
"SHH!" Gwen shushed.
The King led the group to his briefing room passing his associates. They all stare at Gwen and the cups in shock.
"Gentlemen, I have brought the woman who could help us." King George VI announced.
"Your majesty, what can this girl do to stop him?" A general asked.
"She has a greater power… we do not possess!" King George VI sternly answered.
"Stop who?" Mugman asked.
"SHH!" Gwen shushed.
They enter the briefing room and close the door for privacy.
"Now then, Lady Gosa… there is what appears to be a demon causing chaos and terror to London." King George VI explained as he opened the window, showing London attacked with buildings on fire and destroyed.
Gwen and the cup's eyes widened.
"Wait, does he mean…?" Ms. Chalice was about to ask.
"THE DEVIL!" Both cups exclaimed fearfully.
"The Devil? As in Satan?" King George VI asked shockingly.
"I'm afraid they are correct sir. We know of this demon. His goal in life is to torment souls and make them suffer." Gwen explained.
"Can you stop him?" King George VI asked.
"It won't be easy, but I will try." Gwen answered.
"We'll help ya Gweny!" Cuphead said.
"Gweny?" King George VI asked confused.
Gwen glared at Cuphead.
"I told you to be quiet!" Gwen quietly scolded.
"Why did he call you 'Gweny'?" King George VI asked.
Gwen sighed deeply.
"It's actually Gwen, sir." Gwen hesitantly answered.
"Who are you really?" King George VI asked.
"My real name is Gwendolyn Mae Emmons. Gwen for short." Gwen finally confessed.
"I like your real name much better than Lady Gosa." King George VI said.
"Thank you, your majesty. Shall we take care of the Devil?" Gwen asked.
"Yes, go forth… and stop the Devil. Send him back to Hell where he belongs! Then restore my beautiful kingdom!" King George VI requested.
"Yes, your majesty." Gwen answered.
"Yes, your majesty." All three cups answered.
Gwen and the cups disappeared from the briefing room and head out in downtown London. They search for the Devil until they hear a crowd of people screaming.
"I think the Devil's over there." Ms. Chalice said pointing.
They look and notice the Devil in his dragon form breathing fire and chasing the crowd. Gwen groaned.
"Why did he pick London of all places to wreak havoc?" Gwen asked frustratingly.
Gwen grabbed her ink pen and prepared to fight as she took off her silver bracelet. The Devil was about to breath fire at the crowd when suddenly…
POW!
The Devil is blasted by Gwen's cyan-blue beam attack, knocking him to the ground.
"YEEOUCH!" The Devil cried in pain.
All three cups laughed at the Devil in pain.
"You! Why are you here?!" The Devil angrily asked as he weakly stood up.
"We got a little tip that you're having fun with destroying London!" Gwen angrily answered.
The Devil growled furiously.
"I don't know how you found out, but I won't have you spoiling my fun!" The Devil yelled.
Gwen stuck out her hand, making an earthquake and two boulders rose up and crushed the Devil.
"Ooh! That's gonna leave a mark!" Mugman said as he winced.
"Whatever. It serves him right!" Cuphead said.
The Devil blew the boulders away, cracked his back and wiped the dirt off him.
"Looks like somebody hit rock bottom!" Cuphead taunted.
The group laughed, angering the Devil.
"You cups are toast!" The Devil angrily said and aimed his flaming pitchfork at them.
Gwen sighed, then she fired an icy blast at the Devil, freezing him.
"FREEZE!" Cuphead taunted.
CRACK!
The Devil broke free from the ice.
"Uh oh." Mugman said worryingly.
"I didn't wanna have to do this, but you leave me no other option." The Devil said angrily.
The Devil disappeared, making Gwen look around for him.
Suddenly, the Devil appeared from behind her, lifted her in his arms.
"No! Let me go!" Gwen yelled as she struggled.
The Devil quickly grabbed her silver bracelet and clicked it back on her wrist.
"Remember my beautiful flower, you made me do this." The Devil warned as he prepared to kidnap her.
Just then…
WHACK!
The Devil is suddenly knocked unconscious. Gwen is suddenly lifted by Constantine as he carried her away from the Devil.
"Constantine?" Gwen asked.
"I knew there was something special about you. I never figured you would be magical and powerful yourself." Constantine said as he put his sword in his scabbard back on his belt.
Gwen smiled as he set her down.
"Thank you for saving me." Gwen thanked.
"You are most welcome." Constantine answered.
"What are we gonna do with him?" Ms. Chalice asked.
The group looked at the Devil.
"What I always do. Send him back to Hell and he'll end up in his ER again." Gwen answered.
"In all my years, I never thought I would actually see the Devil himself in person." Constantine said.
"Well, seeing is believing buddy." Cuphead said.
Gwen magically sent the Devil back to Hell, dumping him in his throne room.
"Hope he stays in his ER longer this time." Ms. Chalice said.
"Me too." Mugman agreed.
Just then, a group of royal guards approached the group. Two guards stepped aside, revealing King George VI as he approached the group.
"Your majesty!" Constantine exclaimed and bowed.
The group bowed to the King.
"Well done. All of you." King George VI complimented.
"Thank you, your majesty. Now, I shall restore the damage he's done." Gwen said, lifting her ink pen.
Gwen magically restored London to the way it was before the Devil appeared. King George VI stood amazed at Gwen and her magic. She also took the liberty of erasing everyone's memories of the events of the Devil except for Constantine, King George VI and the guards.
"That's our Gweny." Cuphead said.
"Thanks buddy. I erased everyone's memories of the Devil. So, nothing happened." Gwen thanked.
"Gentlemen, none of this ever happened." King George VI said.
All the guards agreed as the King approached Gwen.
"You have done Great Britain a great service Miss Emmons." King George VI said.
Gwen smiled as the cups gathered around Gwen.
Later, the group were at the King's Chapel of the Savory. Cuphead and Mugman taunt the guards, but they stood stone-faced.
"You guys are no fun." Cuphead said after giving up.
"Fellas, come on! We're on!" Ms. Chalice announced.
They rejoin Ms. Chalice and Gwen.
The guards open the doors, and the group walked down the aisle. Gwen's parents, Clarence, Rose, William and their twins along with Elder Kettle and Darcy Flanagan. King George VI stood with a sword at the front of the chapel with his wife and daughters at the side. Constantine stood on the other side and nodded at Gwen.
"Go get'em Gweny." Mugman said.
Gwen approached the King as Mugman joined Cuphead, Ms. Chalice and Constantine.
"Gwendolyn Mae Emmons, please kneel." King George VI instructed.
Gwen knelt to him on a knighting stool.
"In gratitude for saving Great Britain from the Devil, I dub thee Dame Gwendolyn Mae Emmons. Rise Dame Gwendolyn Mae Emmons." King George VI announced and tapped Gwen's shoulders with his sword.
Everyone cheered until the three cups approached the King.
"Hey, we helped her too! What about us?" Cuphead asked.
"Cuphead! You're being rude!" Mugman scolded.
"Yeah Cuphead!" Ms. Chalice agreed.
Then the three cups started bickering, to everyone's annoyance.
Gwen shook her head until she got an idea. She magically creates three medals resembling Victoria Crosses while they were distracted.
"Your majesty, give them these. They won't know the difference." Gwen whispered and winked.
King George VI nodded.
"Young cups?" King George VI asked.
All three cups stopped bickering and approached the King.
"In gratitude for your services, I hereby award you three. Cuphead, Mugman and Ms. Chalice the Victoria Crosses." King George VI announced and hands the cups each a medal.
Everybody cheered for the group.
"Happy guys?" Gwen asked.
"Yeah!" All three cups answered.
Later, there was a grand celebration in the royal ballroom with a glorious feast provided along with music and dancing. Gwen and Clarence were both dancing along with their parents, the King and Queen, Rose and William. After dancing, Clarence goes back to their table to eat some food. Gwen noticed Constantine standing by himself. Just then, Darcy approached Gwen.
"Gwen! Congratulations on yer knighthood!" Darcy said and hugged.
"Thanks Darcy." Gwen thanked.
"I wish I could find someone to have a dance with." Darcy said.
Just then, Gwen got an idea.
"You know, I made a friend while I was here. He's over there." Gwen said and pointed.
Darcy looked and noticed Constantine standing, looking around.
"Oh! He's very handsome! Is he a prince?" Darcy asked.
"No. He's a Marquess. Shall I introduce you?" Gwen asked.
"Oh yes please." Darcy eagerly answered.
Gwen and Darcy approached Constantine.
"Ah, Gwen. Isn't this celebration wonderful?" Constantine asked.
"Yes, it is." Gwen agreed.
"I would offer you a dance, but I don't want to ruin your romance with your fiancé." Constantine said.
"I appreciate the thought. But I do have a relative with me." Gwen said and showed him Darcy as she was smiling brightly.
"And who might you be milady?" Constantine properly asked.
"Darcy Flanagan." Darcy introduced herself.
"Ah, you are Irish. A violinist to be exact. Am I right?" Constantine asked, studying her appearance.
"Why yes. Me grandfather and I are both violinists." Darcy answered amazed.
"May I have this dance?" Constantine asked and bowed to Darcy.
"Aye, I'd love to." Darcy said and curtsied.
Constantine led Darcy to the dance floor as Gwen smiled. Just then, Clarence approached his fiancée.
"Hey honey, who was that you and Darcy were talking to?" Clarence asked.
"Marquess Constantine Aitken. I was playing matchmaker again with Darcy since she has a crush on him." Gwen answered and winked.
"Like you did with Cordelia and Virgil?" Clarence asked.
"Yep. But don't worry love. I only have eyes for you." Gwen assured him.
"I wasn't worried. I trust you. I know you would never look at another man. Like you trusted me when that blonde bully tried to flirt with me at your high school get-together and I didn't give in. I learned that lesson that night." Clarence assured her.
Gwen smiled and kissed him.
"Care for another dance milady?" Clarence asked and bowed.
"I would love to." Gwen answered and curtsied.
Gwen and Clarence once again danced on the dance floor.
Meanwhile, Constantine and Darcy continued dancing as they socialized and got to know each other.
Later, the celebration was over, and Gwen returned her family back home. She prepared to teleport Darcy back to Ireland, but she was still with Constantine.
"Can I see you again Darcy?" Constantine asked.
"Of course, Constantine. You are the kindest gentleman I've ever met." Darcy said, looking in his eyes.
"And you are the sweetest violinist I've ever met." Constantine said back.
Both slowly learned to each other and puckered their lips and had their very first kiss. Gwen smiled, feeling happy for them.
"Uh, Darcy, we have to go." Gwen said.
Darcy looked at Gwen, then at Constantine and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek.
"This Friday at 5 o'clock?" Constantine asked.
"Aye, I'll be there! Bye!" Darcy happily said and joined Gwen.
Gwen gave Darcy a satisfied smile. She teleports themselves back to her cottage. Darcy hugged Gwen.
"Oh, thank you, Gwen! I had a magical evening with him!" Darcy thanked.
"You want me to show you how to teleport so you can return to London to see him? I know where he lives." Gwen offered.
"Oh, please do! Show me good teacher!" Darcy happily exclaimed.
"Very well then." Gwen said.
She showed Darcy how she teleports and takes her to Constantine's Estate. Darcy memorized the location of Constantine's home. Darcy used her enchanted violin and teleports herself back to her cottage in Ireland with Gwen supervising. Darcy tries again and appears in front of the estate again.
"I did it! I did it!" Darcy happily exclaimed.
"Well done. When you want to teleport somewhere, you must keep the exact place in mind and exactly where you're going to stand. Consider this your next assignment." Gwen explained.
"I will keep practicing! I promise!" Darcy promised.
Gwen leaves and returns home to her family. She placed her honorary knighthood title award in her palace in Heaven and instructed her servants to put it on display. Gwen felt proud of herself for learning etiquette, meeting the royal family, saving the UK, earning an honorary knighthood title and pairing Constantine and Darcy together with success.
