Cuphead was working his afternoon shift in the casino. It was a fairly normal mid-evening shift, cleaning the casino had become natural from often doing so. Cuphead cleaned the glasses with the dirty dishrag humming a tune that Elder Kettle used to sing. The busy noises of the casino were drowned out by his thoughts of Elder Kettle in the days when he used to be alive.
Cuphead was putting a shot glass back on a high shelf when all of a sudden he tripped and suddenly snapped back to reality. BANG! His head went crashing on the floor and so did the newly cleaned shot glass. He felt as if someone had nailed his head a million times. The light started to fade away as his eyes closed. The casino went silent.
"CUPHEAD!" shouted Mugman.
"Are you alright?!". Mugman had his knees down on the floor holding Cuphead tightly against his chest. Cuphead tried to open his mouth to say at least one word.
"I-I'm alright...," Cuphead muttered as the light started to blind him.
Mugman helped Cuphead get back up again.
"Thanks, Mugman...," said Cuphead with shakey knees. Cuphead started to fall down again but Mugman caught him. This had been the most concerned Mugman has ever been beside the time when Cuphead betted their souls away.
"It's going to be okay Mugman," Cuphead said trying to laugh this off. Suddenly King Dice came running out of the devil's office.
"What the hell happened?!" shouted King Dice.
" I was using washing my hands in the bathroom when I heard a loud crashing noise and saw Cuphead on the floor. Do you think he's going to be okay? Should we call an ambulance? What if-"
"It's going to be okay Mugman. Let's bring him to the break room," said King Dice ensuring that everything was going to be alright.
They carried Cuphead to the break room and laid him on the old black leather couch. The break room was cold and empty. Nobody else was there except the three of them.
"KD can I stay here with Cuphead to make sure he's alright?"
"Okay. I'll go explain this to the boss and we'll see where to go from here. Also never call me KD again. I'm your work associate, not your buddy." King Dice said with a cold glare. King Dice exited the room without a second thought.
It was now just Mugman and Cuphead. Mugman pulled up a chair and placed it right next to the old couch so he could keep close watch of Cuphead. The broken clock was still ticking but stuck at one time.
"Oh, Cuphead what mess have you gotten yourself into this time?" Mugman said wiping his face trying to hold back his tears from being so worried.
Cuphead started to rustle around on the couch and started to moan like he was having a bad dream. After 5 minutes or so, he started to calmly go back to his original position on the couch, almost looking lifeless.
"I guess I can take a little nap," said Mugman trying to forget about his worries. Mugman started to slowly doze off next to Cuphead. Next thing Mugman knew, he was dreaming. He was in a black room with nothing in sight except Cuphead. Cuphead looked as if he was whispering to himself.
"C-Cuphead are you alright?" Mugman said as he slowly approached him.
"It's coming," whispered Cuphead as he grasped his head tightly.
"What's coming?" said Mugman concerningly.
"The change," Cuphead said silently. Mugman turned Cuphead around so they were face to face. But suddenly, Mugman noticed something very peculiar
"CUPHEAD WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR EYES?"
Cuphead's eyes looked supernatural. It looked like he had the eyes of a snake, and he had the teeth and horns of a demon.
Mugman tried to get a closer look, but Cuphead started to hiss. Cuphead grabbed Mugman tightly.
"Soon Mugman soon everything will change. Not just me, oh no, Everyone! HAHAHA HAHAHA" shouted Cuphead maniacally.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" shouted Mugman waking up from his deep slumber. Mugman's heart pounded quickly as he was trying to snap back into reality
.
"Ughh w-what happened? Did I get wasted or something?" said Cuphead confused as ever with a pounding headache.
"Brother! You're alright!" Mugman said with excitement. Mugman leaped out of his chair and hugged Cuphead.
"Okay, seriously what happened to me?" said Cuphead pulling Mugman of his body. King dice came running into the room.
"Is he okay?!" shouted King Dice.
"Relax I'm fine. But I didn't know you cared about me KD~".
"Do you want to get knocked out again?" Said King dice with annoyance.
"Hehe..." laughed Cuphead from nervousness.
Mugman started to explain what happened to Cuphead, but he kept silent about his strange dream.
"Well, thanks for taking care of me Mugman. Sorry I missed out on my shift," said Cuphead finally being able to stand upright.
"Alright, you two get back to work. Just take it easy Cuphead."
"Okay, Dicey~"
"Shut it." Said King Dice to Cuphead with rage.As Cuphead exited the room still a little bit drowsy king Dice started to exit the room as well, but Mugman stopped him.
"Hey, KD can I talk to you for a second?" Mugman said shyly.
"Don't call me-, Ugh, whatever. What do you want Mugman?" King dice said with a bothered tone. As Mugman explained the strange happenings in his dream King Dice didn't look at him like he was insane, it was more a look of understanding which was quite confusing to Mugman.
"Mugman this not might be as strange as you think. You're not the only one with this problem in the casino today.".
