Just to make one thing clear right away, I had never flown a plane before, so when I got a note from the brothers asking me to meet them in an observatory to try their new airplanes. The only thing I've seen that's even close to airplanes was the war progress created by the imps back at my place, nothing else.

When I arrived at the observatory, the boys greeted me in the usual way, with a very warm hug, and two kisses on the cheeks.

"Hey, you gots a tattoo or somethin', " Cuphead stated, as he pointed to his own cheeks, "right here."

I chuckled with that bewitching smile that I'm famous for.

"This is my mark of powers," I told them, " Daddy said, I'll need space for training them."

The boys' eyes lit up, after hearing the news. Even beating hearts appeared in their eyes.

" So, that means you'll spend more time with us?" They asked.

I said nothing for a while, but given that I spend my days in and out of Hell, I saw their point. I smiled.

"Well, I can't say no to that, there are so many places I haven't been," I declared. "Then again, there are so many people I haven't met."

Suddenly, Canteen Hughes Inkwell's most well-renowned mechanic came out of the garage.

"Gentlemen, your planes are up and runnin'!" He said as he wiped the sweat off his brow.

We followed him in, as he showed our new planes to us, much to our awe. Mine was in my favorite color: Purple.

"So, are ya ready to give it a spin?" Cuphead grinned at me.

I gave Cuphead a kiss on the cheek.

"Consider that a yes, Cups," I replied, sassily as I was helping him fix his pilot goggles. His head began to bubble and steam, as the woozy sensation burned through him.

Mugman tapped me on the back. When I glanced at him, his reaction was no different.

"Yes, Mugs?" I asked.

"I... umm, wanna give you this." He declared as he pulled a pair of familiar goggles, that were safely kept in his pockets.

Cuphead gasped, as he realized what these goggles were.

"My Dirk Dangerous goggles!"

I held Cuphead's goggles in my hand, as a thought crossed my mind.

"It'll make me look like a pilot, but something's missing."

The boys gasped and held hands with each other as I took off my straw tiara, and my chocolate hair rode with the morning breeze and wrapped around my neck like a scarf; completing the look by placing the Dirk Dangerous goggles, over my eyes.

"How do I look?" I asked the brothers, who were drooling by now.

"Marry us already..." They swooned in unison.

I was visibly confused.

"Excuse me?"

Cuphead, and Mugsy, turned full-on red when they realized what they'd done.

"W-we... meant, you look swell Cocoa," They said, together, "Let's go!"

I watched the boys head to their aircraft, then I crouched to Hughes, as he whispered:

"Hey, what's eatin' them?"

I shrugged.

" I don't know." I lied, before running to the brother's side to test the planes.
