Toon Troupe

Chapter 2

Toontown, a town where toon logic exist and no rules apply. Well illegal rules still apply, but everyone should know that. Every known toon we all know in love lived in Toontown.

"Where's Oswald!" A familiar voice yelled.

Yes, including the main mouse himself, Mickey Mouse. The star mouse was pacing back and forth waiting on Oswald, the lucky rabbit. He was coming over to visit Mickey at his new hotel, but hasn't arrived. He was supposed to arrive at noon, and it's been half an hour with no word where he is.

Mickey's girlfriend, Minnie Mouse put a hand on Mickey's shoulder. "Relax Mickey. I'm sure he's on the way." Minnie comforted. Mickey sighed.

"I hope so. This is his first time where he visits me!" Mickey pointed out. He sighed; the star mouse was worried Oswald got lost or decided not to show up without telling him. Minnie gave a smile and a kiss on the cheek to calm him down. Mickey chuckled, slightly blushing over Minnie's affections. "Thanks Minnie."

Minnie giggled. "Anytime Mickey." Minnie walked off to do more decorations as Mickey waited for Oswald to show.

Cuphead and Mugman finally came to Toontown, "Land ahead!" Mugman yelled. Once the boat stopped, Cuphead jumped out cheering, "Land ho!" Mugman grabbed his and Cuphead's stuff. The two cups shared a laugh as they held on to their stuff and went to look for the hotel they were staying at.

"So you know where it is, Cups?" Mugman asked. Cuphead went into hammer space to pull out the flier and read it.

"Its not to far, just only 2 block away." Cuphead read.

Mugman beamed. "That's great! We should be there soon!" The younger cup smirked as he pushed his luggage and ran ahead of Cuphead. "Race ya!" He yelled giving a laugh.

Cuphead smirked and rushed after his brother. "Hey!" He yelled back. The two brothers were laughing and racing each other, passing by or almost running over other civilians in town. The cups were so busy racing that they didn't notice Mickey was walking towards them.

Mugman looked ahead and gasped. "Look out!" He yelled. Mickey turned as a loud crash echoed through town. The cup bros and Mickey groaned rubbing their heads in pain. "I'm so. So sorry sir!" Mugman apologized.

Mickey chuckled standing up. "Its alright. I was in a rush too." He apologized. Mickey gave another glance at the boys and smiled. "Hey are you two Cuphead and Mugman?" He asked.

Cuphead and Mugman looked at each other, how did someone recognize them? Was it someone in the isles? "Uh yeah. I'm Cuphead, and this is Mugman." Cuphead introduced himself and his brother.

"How do you know us?" Mugman asked.

Mickey smiled and took out a newspaper article and showed it to the cups. "Read this." He said. Cuphead and Mugman took the newspaper clipping and read it.

BROTHERS SAVE ISLES FROM CASINO! HAILED AS HEROES!

"Two young boys saved Inkwell Isle from an evil Devil that's been taking over the Isle for many years now!" Cuphead read. Cuphead and Mugman were surprised that the Devil has taken over the isles for many years. They looked back at the paper and continued to read. "It says the Devil and his workers have mysteriously disappeared and no one knows where they went."

As Cuphead read the article they saw photos of once the lively hellish casino abandoned with no traces of anyone. The cup bros sighed knowing the Devil, King Dice and the employees have left the isles for good.

"Well thank goodness he's gone!" Mugman cheered. Cuphead nodded as he put the news article back.

"So what brings you two too town?" Mickey asked. Mugman and Cuphead explained they were on vacation and want to relax and unwind. Mickey laughed. "Well you join in luck I opened a hotel and you guys can stay there during your vacation."

"You're the owner?!" Cuphead asked.

Mickey nodded. "Correct! I can show you where it is?"

Cuphead and Mugman looked at each other and smiled they'll finally get some help. "Thank you!" Cuphead cheered.

Mickey chuckled. "No problem." He said. Mickey started to walk showing the boys where the hotel was, but stopped remembering he needed to do something first. "Would you two mind coming with me somewhere?" Mickey asked.

At the train station a train just stopped and toons and people were getting off the train, including a rabbit, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit! Trying to get his luggage out of the compartment. The rabbit turned to the passing passengers calling out to them. "Hey! Excuse me! Some help here!" He yelled. However, everyone ignored the poor bunny and continued walking off the train. Oswald sighed and struggled to get his stuff out. Finally he got his bag out and walked out of the train, dragging his heavy bag. The rabbit tried to catch his breath as he dragged the bag with him.

"Need help?" Mickey asked.

Oswald smiled looking up to see Mickey, and quickly running up to him and giving the mouse a high five. "Hey Mickey!" Oswald cheered. "Sorry if I'm late, my train was delayed due to bad weather back in Wasteland, but I'm here!" He explained.

Mickey smiled and gave the rabbit a hug. "Oswald, these here are Cuphead and Mugman, new friends who are visiting over from Inkwell Isle." Mickey introduced. The cup bros waved back "Their visiting the new hotel too."

Oswald smiled and shook both cups hands. "Please to meet ya! I'm Oswald!" He introduced.

"I'm Cuphead! And this is my brother Mugman." Cuphead introduced. Mugman smiled giving a wave. After the brief introduction the four toons left the station and headed towards Mickey's hotel.

Mouse Hotel was Mickey's new hotel that he opened up for visiting toons coming to Toontown. "Here we are." Mickey announced. The cupbros and Oswald's eyes widen at the sight. The hotel was painted a brick red and had 25 floors.

Minnie was on the phone talking to some friends, she smiled seeing Mickey come in with Oswald, Cuphead and Mugman. "I'll call you later." Minnie excused before hanging up. She ran to Mickey and gave him a hug. "See told you Oswald will be here soon."

Mickey chuckled. "Well I had to pick him up from the train station, on top of that made new friends who will be staying with us." He explained. Minnie looked over Mickey's shoulder too see Cuphead and Mugman. 'Mickey is that?"

Mickey nodded. "Minnie meet Cuphead and Mugman. Cuphead and Mugman meet Minnie." Cuphead and Mugman waved to Mickey's girlfriend, and the later waved back. Minnie went to the desk and gave the three toons their room keys to spend the night in.

Cuphead and Mugman were on the 12thfloor and Oswald was on the 5thfloor. The toons took the elevator going up to their rooms. "Here's my floor! I'll see you guys later!" Oswald waved.

"Okay bye!" Mugman waved. The elevator closed again and went up a few more floors till it got to their floor. "Alright now to find our rooms." Mugman said. They walked through the halls looking for Room 1227. Once they found their room the Cup bros went inside their room.

Cuphead and Mugman were in awe of their room, it was clean and simple. It felt like home. Cuphead went on the bed and collapsed. "Ahh...Relaxing." He sighed. Mugman chuckled and lied down on the bed as well.
