The clouds swirled, the deep glistening blues melted into the velvet of the black. As the bright sun set, the yellows enveloped in the sky.  Looking directly up, bright glittering stars could be seen. As the sun set, thousands more stars shot across the sky.
Everyone cheered, the show would now begin. Hilda appeared in her gemini form, Cagney's heart sank, his eyes widened. He suddenly came to a rather embarrassing realization that he himself had never seen any of Hilda's other forms. Sure he bad seen her blimps but never had he seen her like this.
The gemini swirled a glowing ball, clouds swirled around it. The dark clouds that surrounded her thickened and began to take a form around the gemini until the her entire form was covered in clouds.
A blimp flew overhead and dropped what looked to be a star. Suddenly an arrow shot the star that was falling and as it passed across the sky, gilded streams of light flew across the sky. Once the stars had passed the crowd placed their attention back to Hilda who changed forms once again. The figure held a fluffy bow and shot more stars across the sky. The stars started to line up in a strange pattern, perhaps words? The figure with the bow all of a sudden shot a star directly above its head, as it dropped back, a flash of light appeared and a new form appeared. The star that fell was immediately head butt into the area of the other stars. The ram stretched out and flew towards the collection of stars. The figure started to change into a red moon. Ufos started to decorate the sky above the stars the rose all the stars, each to a specific place. Cagney was dumbfounded when he finally realized the message stated, "Thank you Cuphead and Mugman!"
The crowd cheered, Cagney turned himself around to gaze on the cheering crowd. Cuphead was jumping up and down and throwing....candy....from his head? Behind him was a quarreling Baroness. Grim was on two legs and was attempting to clap in respect; in the distance Cagney could see Cala Maria with a happy Mugman in her hands who was clapping. Cagney smiled for Mugman and Cala Maria and returned his attention to the sky where Hilda was gliding down on a cloud.

A crowd of joyous former debtors surrounded Hilda. Hilda wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead.
"Wow Hilda, that was magnificent!" Sally exclaimed, others huddled near the sylph.
"The ufos were my favorite aye chap." Dr Kahl queued his robot who responded with his heart popping out. Hilda loved the attention for her profession though she would admit, she was quite exhausted.
"Thanks everyone, I'm just going to get something to eat."
Cuphead ran up to her with a smile, "Wow that was cool Aunt Hilda!" Hilda smiled as she gave cuphead a pat on the back. Cuphead offered a peppermint from his head to which she politely refused.
As Hilda approached the snack table, her gaze fell upon a blushing Cagney.
"Like the show Cags?" She asked, her breath still heavy. He crossed his arms and faced away, "W-well how could I not, it was pretty." Hilda giggled.
"Aw you thought it was pretty? I work for free so if you ever need anyone for a birthday party.." Cagney scoffed.
"I said it was pretty, I am not going to bow down and fuel your ego."
"Hehe, I never said you had to Cags." She giggled as she walked away in the direction of her observatory with her plate.
"And Hilda, the show was really nice." She caught him say as she walked off, her face red as her dress.
