You, Cuphead and Mugman just came out of the cinema and you was laughing and talking about how great the movie was. "Zombies are not as scary as I thought they'd be." Mugman smiled. "I'm proud of ya mugsy, you only needed to change your pants three times." Cuphead told him, as you nodded with a giggle. "A new record." Mugman replied, feeling proud of himself. "Oh! It's getting late, if were gonna make it home before dark. We better take a shortcut through the old, creepy cemetery." Cuphead told you and mugman, while pointing at the terrifying place. "Nothing scary about that, not to a record-breaker like me." Mugman grinned. "Attaboy, mugsy" Cuphead said. You started to feel uneasy and didn't trust going in there. And gently poked Cuphead and mugman's shoulder, getting both of their attention. "What's up y/n?" Cuphead asked. "I don't trust that place what if something bad happens" you said, frowning. "Aww, are you scared y/n? if anything happens, me and mugs will protect ya, alright?." Cuphead softly smiled. You smiled back and before you could say anything, you felt Cuphead's hand grab yours. "Here! I'll hold your hand so your not to frightened." He beamed. You blushed slightly and shyly nodded. Cuphead took you towards the place with mugman following behind and you notice mugman looking at the statues. "Sure is a lot of tombstones." Mugman spoke. Cuphead hummed and carried on walking, as he still held onto your hand. "Wow, it's really starting to get dark now." Cuphead voiced. "Some might find that unsettling but not me." Said mugman. "Good thing we're so brave." "I can't think of a time I've been less scared."

You looked at the brothers with confusion and felt Cuphead drag you a bit hard, quickening up his pace. You asked them if they was okay, but they didn't answer and kept on rambling to eachover with a look of fear on them. "Nothing scary about a graveyard." Mugman said, as he grew nervous. Suddenly a loud thunder crashed near you, making you and the brother's yell and began to run. You saw a large gate and the three of you was about to run out, until the gate slammed shut. You, Cuphead and mugman jumped back in surprised and heard mugman gasp. "Did you guys see that? It slammed shut outta nowhere!" Mugman yelled. "Okay, let's just get a grip on ourselves. That was probably just the the wind." Cuphead said, trying to calm down his brother. "That was wind? What wind? I didn't feel any wind. No wind." Mugman said. "Oh, no, no, no,! It won't budge!" He shouted, trying to pry the gate open. "We're trapped!" "Relax, it just needs a little elbow grease." Cuphead tried to open the gates by pulling it, but it wouldn't open. "Hm, stuck pretty good." "What are we gonna do?!" Mugman asked. "How are we gonna get out?!" You questioned. "First, We're all gonna calm down." "But what about g-g-ghosts?" Mugs stuttered. "Ah, banana oil! Ghosts ain't real!" Cuphead rolled his eyes at mugs. "B-but what if they are?." You told him. "Doll, it's alright nothing is going to happen." Cups said, holding your hands. "Looks like We're stuck, Eh. Someone will open it in the morning. Till then, we'll just spend the night and make the best of it."

"S-s-spend the night?" You and mugs said. "But what about the ghost?" Mugman told cuphead. "C-Cups we can't sleep here we'll freeze to death!" you yelled. Cuphead didn't respond and carried on walking. "I don't like this, Cuphead. I'm allergic to dead people." Mugs told him, as he looked around in fear. Cuphead sighed and pushed you and mugman gently onto a log. "For the last time mugsy ghost ain't real and y/n we'll be fine I promise. Now mugs you clear a spot and me and y/n are gonna get some firewood." Cuphead said and held your hand. "We're separating?" Mugs asked in shock. "Well, do you wanna come with me and y/n into the deep, dark woods?" Cuphead questioned him. "Is there a third, less terrifying option." Cuphead sighed again and patted mugman's back. "Look, don't worry it'll be just like the movie. You think you're gonna be scared, but then it won't be so bad. Cause why?" Cuphead asked his brother. "Cause I'm a big, strong man." Mugs said, talking like a baby. You chuckled and quickly covered you're mouth so they wouldn't here. "Well, sure but also because ghost ain't real." "Can we go now?" You asked cuphead. "Sure come on doll" Cuphead dragged you towards the woods and you looked over at mugman, to see him fidgeting with his fingers. "They better not be, I'm all outta spare pants." You heard mugman say. "Just relax we'll be back before you know it." Cuphead said and you both carried on walking. You heard mugman scream by an owl hooting and cuphead sighed, while you giggled. "That was an owl." Cuphead shouted. "Typical mugman, always getting himself worked up over nothing." Cuphead spoke whilst picking up some wood. "But Cuphead can you blame him though, this place is fucking terrifying." You told him. Cuphead glared at you and covered you're mouth. "Doll, don't swear that's bad!" He yelled. You chuckled nervously and apoligized, making Cuphead smile.
