As the sun begins to rise as a new day is about to begin. The sun also shines through the window of Pinkie's bedroom. The girls are still fast asleep in the room, and feel lazy enough not to wake up.
As Rarity sleeps, she feels something wrapped on her stomach.
She says in her sleep, "Mmm. Pinkie, I'm trying to to sleep can you let go of my stomach."
Rarity tries to sleep more, but something wraps on her stomach more.
"Pinkie, can you please let go of my stomach?" Rarity says in her sleep.
But suddenly, Rarity feels something on her arm. Something feels kind of cold, and smooth, and it's rubbings against her upper arm.
Rarity sits up, and lets out a yawn, "Pinkie, can you please…"
Rarity stops to see that Pinkie is sleeping on the other side of her bed. It makes Rarity wonders, if Pinkie is on the other side of the bed, then who is snuggling against her. Rarity looks out, and lets out a gasp of shock to see who is sleeping with her.
She sees a small boy… with a cup for a head. He has his eyes closed, a small red nose and a red and white striped bendy straw in his head. He has a black body, white gloves, gray color legs and brown shoes. The little boy is fast asleep and has is arm wrapped on Rarity's stomach.
Rarity eyes blink three times. Then turns to where Sunset is sleeping. Luckily, she is sleeping next to the bed, so she is able to move her head.
She calmly calls out, "Oh Sunset!"
Sunset groans as she turns her head, and asks, "What is it?"
"Take a look on Pinkie's bed and who is sleeping with me," Rarity questions answers.
Sunset sits up, and questions, "What?"
"Just do it," Rarity firmly says, making sure she is quiet.
Sunset groans as she begins to wake up, and get on her feet. She then takes a look at who is sleeping next to Rarity, and becomes stunned.
"Well, what do you see?" Rarity questions.
"That's… that's… I mean… It's impossible… is that… Cuphead?" Sunset asks as she is in complete shock.
"Hmm mmm," Rarity answers, nodding her head.
"But how… how did…" Sunset begins to asks.
But Rarity answers, "I don't know. I'm just as surprised as you are."
"I'm surprised you didn't scream seeing him sleeping with you," Sunset replies.
"Well, um, I was going to, but…" Rarity says with her cheeks blush.
She looks at Cuphead with a smile, "He just looks so cute and adorable when he's sleeping, I didn't have the heart to wake him."
"Still, where did he come from? I mean he is a character in a game," Sunset wonders.
"Perhaps Equestria Magic has a part to play in this mystery," Rarity suggests.
"I wouldn't be surprised if it is. I think we jinxed ourselves with our discussion last night," Sunset mutters.
Rainbow groans as she sits up with a tired face, and says, "Can you two keep it down? People are trying to sleep here."
"And Applejack, can you get your head off of my legs," Rainbow adds.
Applejack yawns, and answers, "I'm sleeping next to the window, Dash."
"Then who is…" Rainbow says, looking down at her legs.
Rainbow screams in shock. That cause the rest of the girls to wake up from their sleep in shock and surprise. All except
for the sleeping Cuphead who snuggles against Rarity's side, and the other one sleeping on Rainbow's legs.
This one is also a boy and has a cup for a hed. Instead, he has a straight blue and white striped straw, a large blue noise, and blue shorts.
"M-M-Mugman… that's… that's impossible!" Rainbow exclaims in shock.
"It's possible. Cuphead is sleeping next to Rarity," "Sunset calmly replies.
"What?" Rainbow questions in shock.
Fluttershy looks at the sleeping Mugman with a smile, and says, "Aww, he is so cute."
"Yeah. Isn't he cute when he sleeps," Pinkie agrees, looking at Cuphead.
"Hey, can we cut out calling the cute cups cute and I like to know why they are sleeping in Pinkie's bed," Rainbow says with an annoyed look.
Then Rainbow asks, "And why is he sleeping on my legs?!"
"Now Rainbow, don't be screamin' this early in the morning. I'll help y'all," Applejack says.
Applejack picks up the little cup carries him to the bed. Pinkie and Rarity move out of the way so they can make room. Rarity slowly takes Cuphead's arm off of her, and picks him up too. Pinkie lifts the covers, and the two girls put the boys on the bed. Then Pinkie tucks them in.
"Come on, we'll let the two sleep, and get some breakfast," Sunset says.
Everyone agree, and ebing to leave the room. Fluttershy closes the door after everyone else does. And the two boys sleep as if nothing has happened.
Sometime later, the girls have make breakfast and are beginning to discuss about their new guests.
"Alright y'all, we have two video games characters sleepin' in the room right now. None of us have a clue as how, when, or why they're here, but we need to find out," Applejack explains.
"Well, Rarity and I do have suspicions that Equestrian Magic might be involved in this," Sun says.
"And they both look very real to be a costume," Rarity agrees.
"Great, another Equestrian Magic problem we need to deal with," Rainbow says, rolling her eyes.
"At least this one we won't have a problem with. The boys are very small and sweet," Fluttershy says.
"True. But when they wake up and find us, they might hen they'll be endanger and try to attack to defend themselves," Twilight says.
"You do have a point, so we need to let them know that we have no means of hurting them," Sunset says.
"I know, how about we throw a party for them," Pinkie suggests.
"Maybe not. We could give them something to eat. They must be hungry," Applejack says.
"I have to agree," Sunset says.
"So which one of us is going to check on the two cute little cups?" Pinkie asks.
The girls look at each other with confused looks on their faces.
Fluttershy slowly raises her hand, and answers, "Um, I'll do it."
"You sure about that Flutters?" Rainbow asks in concern.
"Well, I thought maybe I can show them kindness and help give them some hospitality. They will probably be scared finding themselves away from home. And I do want to help make them comfortable," Fluttershy says.
Applejack smiles, "Aww, you do make a point about that. Need one of us to come and back you up?"
"Oh no, I think I can do it on my own. I think it will be good for them that at least one of us talks to them," Fluttershy answers.
"Okay. But f you need anything, all you have to do is whisper help and we'll be there to help out," Twilight says.
Fluttershy nods her head, and begins to make her way to Pinkie's room to see the two guests inside.
Inside Pinkie's bedroom, the two little cups begin to stir as they groan in exhaustion. Soon, Cuphead begins to opens his
eyes half way. He then begins to sit up, and rubs the sleep out of his eyes. When he looks around, his eyes wide open to see that he is not in his home anymore.
He looks around to see the bright yellow wall that has a few balloons on the walls. He looks to see a purple canopy on the ceiling, a few furniture, and other stuff that he doesn't know. He turns his head to see that his brother, Migman is still asleep.
Cuphead questions, "Where are we?"
He turns to Mugman, and shake him a little, "Mugman. Mugman wake up."
Mugman sturs a little and slightly opens his eyes, "What is it?"
"I don't know how, but… we're not in our room anymore," Cuphead answers.
"What?" Mugman tiredly questions as he begins to sit up.
He lets out a yawn and rubs his eyes. When he looks at the area, is is surprised to see the room he and his brother are in is not their own.
"What is this place? Where are we? Where's Elder Kettle?" Mugman asks, feeling scared.
"I don't know, but we need to find that out," Cuphead says.
Suddenly, they hear clicking sounds and turn to where the door is. They then see the door beginning to open. Cuphead and Mugman has their finger ready to fire at whoever is opening. When the door opens, they are surprised to see a girl with buttermilk yellow skin, pink rose hair, and teal color eyes who is wearing green two piece pajamas with butterflies on it. Quickly the two cancel their magic and look at the girls with surprised looks on their faces.
"Oh you both are away, I'm so glad. My friends and I were wondering when you both will wake up," Fluttershy happily says.
The two boys looks at each other with confused looks.
Mugman whispers, "Who is that girl?"
"I don't know. She seems friendly enough," Cuphead replies.
"And she is pretty," Mugman adds.
Then he asks, "But what should we do? She seems so nice."
"Well, we could be nice to her back and uh, ask her about our problem," Cuphead suggests.
"Good idea," Mugman replies.
The two then turn their heads towards the girl in the room.
Cuphead asks, "So what's your name?"
"I'm Fluttershy," Fluttershy quietly replies.
Unable to hear, Cuphead asks, "Uh what was that?"
"It's Fluttershy," Fluttershy answers a little louder.
Mugman is able to hear, "Fluttershy? That's a very nice name."
"Thank you," Fluttershy replies with her cheeks blush.
"Well, I'm Cuphead and this is my brother Mugman," Cuphead says with a smile.
"It's nice to meet you," Mugman happily replies.
Then Cuphead asks, "So you think you can tell us what we're doing here?"
"Well, um, to be honest, my friends and I don't know ourselves. We found you both asleep. Cuphead you were sleeping
with Rarity and hugging her stomach. And Mugman, you were sleeping on Rainbow's legs," Fluttershy answers.
Hearing the answer cause the two brothers to blush a little.
Fluttershy giggles, "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you blush."
"Um that's alright," Cuphead says.
"So what do we do now?" Mugman asks.
"Well, my friends and I were hoping to ask you about how you end up here, and to see if you both are alright. Also, I'll be you two are hungry. Will you both like some breakfast?" Fluttershy replies with a smile.
Cuphead nods his head, "Sure. I am getting hungry."
"Okay," Mugman answers.
Both of the boys jump off the bed and walks to Fluttershy. Fluttershy then notices the Cuphead game case on the floor,
and it seems to be glowing. Thinking it's important, Fluttershy picks the game up, and takes the boy to meet the others.
Once down stairs, the two brothers look to see the other six girls that are sitting at the table.
"Cuphead. Mugman. These are my friends… Twilight Sparkle," Fluttershy says.
The girl with the lavender skin adjust her glasses, "Hello it's very nice to meet you."
"Rainbow Dash," Fluttershy adds.
"Please to meet you little cups. I'm known as the best athletic girl in CHS. If you need help, I'll be there for you in a
heartbeat," Rainbow says with pride.
"And I'm guessing you're the girls I slept on. Sorry about that," Mugman replies.
"No sweat. I'm over that now," Rainbow replies.
Then Fluttershy says, "Applejack."
"Howdy y'all. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm known as being truthful and reliable," Applejack says,
"Rarity," Fluttershy continues.
"Hello darling, very please to meet you," Rarity happily replies.
Cuphead blushes, "Oh so… you're the girl I end up hugging in my sleep. Sorry about that."
"Don't worry darling, I know you didn't mean to. Although, you were hugging me a little tight," Rarity replies with a giggle.
Cuphead replies with a little laughter.
Then Fluttershy introduces, "Sunset Shimmer."
"Hi. It's nice to meet you two," Sunset replies.
"And this is…" Fluttershy is about to finish.
But the pink skin girl on the group happily says, "Hi my name is Pinkie Pie, I'm very very very happy to meet you Cuphead and Mugman. So what you like to do during your spare time? What's your favorite cake? What's your favorite games? Do you like parties?"
"Pinkie, don't scare them with your fast talk," Sunset replies.
Pinkie blush, "Oops, my bad."
Mugman laughs, "You sure are lively."
"Thanks. That's what everyone says," Pinkie replies.
"But how you know our names?" Cuphead replies.
The girls then look at each other with worried looks, but Pinkie happily answers, "Easy, you two are in the game Cuphead: Don't Deal with the Devil. It's a very fun game, and you two are the stars in it."
"Game?" The two brothers question tilting their heads.
"She means this," Fluttershy says, holding the game case.
The boys look to see the game case and see a picture of themselves.
"That's pretty cool," Cuphead replies.
"But why you brought it down?" Mugman asks.
"Yeah. And why my game glowing?" Pinkie adds.
"I found it like it, so I bought it down to show it to you guys. I thought it might be important," Fluttershy answers.
Sunset walks over, and asks, "Mind if I see it?"
"Sure," Fluttershy answers.
Fluttershy hands Sunset the game. Sunset looks at the case to see it glowing. She then opens the case to see the disc, only to find it glowing blue and red.
"This game must have been hit by Equestrian Magic," Sunset concludes.
"So that's why Cuphead and Mugman are here, the magic hit the game and pull them out to make them real," Twilight says.
"Woah! That's pretty cool," Rainbow says.
Then she asks, "So are you two still in debt with that Devil creep?"
"Nah, we took care of him," Mugman answers.
"We defeated the Devil and broke our debt from him. We also freed everyone else who was in debt with him," Cuphead explains.
Twilight scratches her chin, "Fascinating, so the magic created a portal to Inkwell Isle, and to the time when you two
defeated the Devil and free everyone from their debt."
"It seems like it," Rarity replies.
Sunset looks at the game and begins to think about it, "I wonder."
"What is it Sunset?" Fluttershy asks.
"I was just curious about whether or not Cuphead and Mugman are the only ones to be pulled out of the game," Sunset says.
After hearing this suggestion, the girls including the two cups begin to think about it.
"It is possible," Twilight replies.
"But how to we know for sure?" Rarity asks.
Just then, Maud, Pinkie's older sister walks to the table holding a ball.
"Pinkie, I found this blue ball in my room. Is this one of yours?" Maud asks in a deadpan tone.
Pinkie shakes her head, "No. I don't own a blue ball."
Just then, the head turns around show the gang a face, it has a big smile, big eyes with light brown eyebrows, and a small nose.
"Hi boys, and hello ladies," The ball says.
The girls scream in fright.
But the boys says in surprise, "Goopy!"
"Cuphead. Mugman. It's a please to see some familiar faces. I woke up in this nice girls rock collection. Of course, she thought I was one of her sister's toys," Goopy says.
"Well, we're glad to see you're alright," Mugman says.
Goopy jumps off of Maud's hand and on to the floor.
He then hops to the boys, "It's great to be safe. So mind telling us where we are?"
"You're in my house, and you were in my sister's room," Pinkie answers.
"Oops, sorry about that cotton candy. But Mind I say I love the place. But I think it could use some more color," Goopy says.
"Goopy, we're not staying here you know. We need to get back home," Cuphead says.
Rainbow looks at Sunset, "Well girl, you were right. There has to be more than the brothers that come out of the game."
"Yeah. And that's what worries me," Sunset says.
"What in tarnation are you talking about?" Applejack asks.
Sunset walks to Goop, "Goopy, did happy while you were in Inkwell?"
"Well, come to think there was. It was so weird," Goopy answers.
"What is it?" Cuphead asks.
"There was a strange glowing hole in the sky in the middle of the night. I was up watching the night sky with Hilda when I saw it. Then next thing that I know it, I started glowing, and head flying to the portal. And it's just not me, but Hilda too. Soon, I see many dots glowing and flying towards the portal… And… hmm…" Goopy explains, but stops to think.
"What is it Goopy?" Mugman asks.
"If it's something important, then you have the right to tell us," Rainbow replies.
Goopy thinks about it, and says, "Well, I wasn't certain, but I think I saw some glowing light coming out from the cave where the Casino is at."
Everyone gasp in shock.
"I knew it," Sunset says.
"Knew what?" Fluttershy asks.
"If Goopy, Cuphead, and Mugman are here, then it's possible that ever residence of Inkwell Isle must be here in Canterlot City…" Sunset says, then grows very concern.
Twilight gulps in realization, "And if what Goopy said is true then that means The Devil, King Dice and his henchmen must be here too."
"Oh no!" Fluttershy yelps in fright.
"That means, the Devil can build some kind of casino and try to have people sell their souls to him," Rainbow adds in shock.
"Not to mentions the residence of Canterlot City and Inkwell Isle will be in a panic. They can get hurt," Applejack adds.
"But what can we do?" Pinkie asks.
Cuphead comes forward, and says, "We got to find our friends and stop the Devil before he has a chance to cause any trouble. Mugman and I will get going, and you guys can protect Goopy."
Applejack get in front of the boys, "Hold your horses boys, we're coming with you."
"Sorry, but we can't let you," Cuphead denies.
"We dealt with the Devil and his lackeys before, and he's dangerous. He can take your souls if your not careful" Mugman
agrees.
"But we know Canterlot City, we can help you find your friends," Sunset says.
Then Rainbow says, "We also have powerful magical geodes that gives us superpowers."
"Please let us come, we want to help," Fluttershy adds.
"Our families and friends will be endangered if we don't do something," Rarity adds.
Then Pinkie says, "Please let us help you.! PLEASE!"
The two cups look at each other. Then show smiles on their faces.
"Alright, you two can come. Like you said you know the city more," Cuphead says.
"And we all of us working together, we can save our friends and the Devil," Mugman replies.
Applejack smiles, and says, "Then It's a good idea to get started."
"Where should we go?" Pinkie asks.
"We can start at Canterlot High to see if there anyone there. Once we're there, we can map out the area and split up to
find the others. If you all see the Devil, King Dice, or any of their henchmen, alert the rest of us," Twilight says.
But Fluttershy asks, "But, what will we do once we find them?"
"We'll have to worry about that as we go. Right now we need to find them before people start to panic," Sunset says.
Pinkie turns to Maud, "Maud, can you keep an eye on Goopy until we get back."
"Okay," Maud answers.
"Let's hurry up and get dress so we can start searching," Rainbow says.
Sunset and the girls run upstairs to change while the three boys and Maud stay down stairs.
Mugman turns to Cuphead, and asks, "I'm a little worried about the girls coming with us."
"I know. I am too. But we do need their help," cuphead says.
"Don't worry, my sister and her friends have dealt with magical situations before. I'm sure they are able to help you with find your friends and stopping evil," Maud says.
"If you say so," Cuphead replies.
"I just hope we find them before something bad happens," Mugman says in concern.
