You, Cuphead and Mugman was playing a board game, while hearing elder kettle sing about his vegetables. You were still sore from yesterday and Cuphead suggested for you to rest. But you declined and told him it was okay and you'll feel better soon. You was about to roll the dice, when all of a sudden you, cuphead and mugman heard elder kettle yell. The three of you rushed outside to see him on the floor and runs up to him in worry. Cuphead and Mugman helped elder kettle to his room, while you was pouring cherry juice in a cup for him. You placed the bottle away and went upstairs to elder kettle's room. You walked inside to see Cuphead and Mugman looking at him, as he was whining about his vegetable. You placed the cup on top of his drawer and looked at the brother's to see them with a bewildered look. "Oh, my babies. I fed them, I nursed them, I kept them alive. Without me, they're doomed." Elder kettle sobbed. "Don't worry, elder kettle. We'll take care of your babies. Here, let me fluff your pillow." Cuphead spoke, fluffing up his pillow. "Can I get you some soup?" Mugman asked. "You two are being awfully helpful. You're up to something, y/n make sure they don't cause any tro-" before elder kettle could finish his sentence, he immediately fell asleep. "Out like a light. Let's scram and catch that picture show." Cuphead said to Mugman. "Wait, what?" You said, but got dragged by Cuphead. Cuphead followed Mugman outside and mugman was about to run through the gate, but stopped with a sad look on his face. Mugman grabbed Cuphead's handle, making him and you fall. "Hey, we gotta make tracks if we're gonna make the five o'clock!" Cuphead yelled. "Kettle's garden, we promised we'd take care of his babies. Feed 'em, nature them. kinda like how he took care of us when we were babies." Mugman told his brother. You frowned and looked at Cuphead, he groaned and fell on top of the gate. "Why'd you have to go and say it like that?" You shook your head, as Mugman dragged Cuphead towards elder kettle's vegetables. You followed them and you was bored out of your mind. You nearly fell asleep a few times from how boring this was. "Nothing interesting ever happens around here." You heard cuphead say. "You can say that again" sighed Mugman. "We're gonna be here for ages" you groaned. Suddenly the three of you heard a loud crash coming from the small shed. You, Cups and Mugs tip toed towards it while grabbing two shovels and a digging fork. Cuphead slowly opened the door to see three large vegetable eating soil. They noticed us and gasped with dirt in their mouths. "Hey, alright get out here!" Cuphead shouted, as the vegetable bounced out of the shed. "Okay, what gives?" Cups told them. "We're real sorry, mister. We don't mean to bother youse. We's just some. Uh, down-on-our-luck vegetable. I'm sal, this is Ollie and that's Chauncey." The large potato said. "Yeah, we don't got nowheres to call home." The large carrot spoke, chuckling. "We're, uh, orphans. Yeah that's it, orphans."

"Wait! We're orphans?! That's so sad." The large onion said, as he was about to burst into tears. "Hey! Ease up on the waterworks, will you? The last thing we need is you peeling all over the place. Then we'll all start crying!" Shouted Sal. "I'm sorry, Sal! It's just-you know, it's such a sad story!" Ollie replied. "Don't mind him. He gets, uh, emotional. Listen, all We're asking for is a little bit of soil. To rest our weary roots, just for one night. What do you say, eh?" Sal told you. You looked at the three vegetables suspiciously and didn't trust them at all. "We'd love to help, but we gotta keep an eye on elder kettle's boring, old vegetable garden." Cuphead groaned. "Elder kettle takes his garden very seriously." Mugman voiced. They're his babies." "If anything happened to them." "He'd be heartbroken." Sal grinned while hitting his elbow at Ollie. "Well, heck. No one takes better care of veggies than veggies." "Yeah, we can help you." Chauncey snickered. "You could, you would?" Cups and mugs questioned with glee. "Sure, just let us handle that garden. While the three of youse go have a fun night on the town." Sal spoke, whilst pushing you and the brother's towards the gate. "Well if you inside" "gee, thanks." You rolled your eyes and didn't thank them at all. You didn't trust them vegetables you knew they were up to something. You followed cups and mugs, hoping that nothing bad will happen when you come back.
