Cuphead and Mugman laid on the ground of their bedroom, blank paper and crayons laid all around them.

"I wonder how your siblings are gonna be like," Cuphead wondered as he doodled on a piece of paper.

"I don't know and I don't care- I just want to get this day over with," Mugman groaned as he messed with a green crayon.

"What? Why? They're your family- your real family. Elder Kettle's basically your gramps- and I'm no more than a friend that lives with you" Cuphead noted putting down the crayon.

"What are you talking about? Your considered family, and so is Elder Kettle- so don't say that!" Mugman yelled hugging him tightly.

"Thanks but- they were your original family, you exist because of them," Cuphead said pulling away.

Mugman looked down thoughtfully, "I don't even know them T-T"

Out of the blue Elder Kettle called them from downstairs, "Boys! Come down here! There's someone I'd like you to meet!"

"Coming!" Cuphead exclaimed, "And for the moment of truth! Let's go Mugs!"

"No"

"Wai- wai wha?" Cuphead exclaimed turning towards Mugman.

"I don't wanna see them," Mugman replied sketching on a blank page.

"Fine-" Cuphead huffed, "Just know I'll tell them to look for you up here"

"Ugh" Mugman groaned as Cuphead ran out the door, "You better not"

(Meanwhile)

"Where are they?" Elder Kettle thoughtfully said, "Boys!"

A second later Cuphead came bolting down the stairs, "I'm here!" Cuphead smiled as he stopped near him.

Cuphead's eyes lit up in awe as he saw Mugman's family. Mugman dad looked so much like Mugman himself, pale white skin, big blue nose, and sea blue eyes. He wore a black long-sleeved sweater, blue jeans, a long blue scarf, and big brown boots.

"Hello! You must be Mugman's dad!" Cuphead smiled extending a hand.

As soon as he did, Maurice backed up- the others getting behind him.

"It's a Cup!" Karla exclaimed.

"OMG! Dad! Don't touch it!" Marcilene screamed.

"?" Cuphead confusingly lowered his hand as they freaked out.

"You weren't kidding about Mr. Fitzgerald knowing a Cup???" Karla asked Maurice as Marcilene pressed against her waist.

"I was only half kidding- I thought he was joking," Maurice replied keeping his eyes on Cuphead, "Back- back up-" He whispered to them as Cuphead stepped forward. They backed up as if he was about to attack.

"But I don't bite" Cuphead muttered.

"You thought I was joking?" Elder Kettle asked holding Cuphead close, "Are you questioning the way I raise the boys? Cuphead may not be an angel- but he means the world to me, and I will not hesitate to protect him" Elder Kettle said sternly.

"Do you know what that is?" Maurice ask sweetly.

Elder Kettle and Cuphead glanced at each other then back at Maurice, "A... a cup?"

"NO!" He exclaimed, "Well... yeah... but also-" Maurice said with a pause, " A hazardous, perilous, risky, high-risk, unsafe, unpredictable fiend!" Maurice said his cheery upbeat attitude suddenly disappearing, "I do not trust this... Cup." Maurice said with disgust, glaring at Cuphead.

Cuphead looked down nervously "But-"

"Why are you guys acting like that?" Elder Kettle ask stepping between Maurice and Cuphead.

"Cups are natural born killers- just in case you didn't know~" Maurice replied his glare fixed on Cuphead.

"Cups aren't supposed to live under the same roof as a Mug, it's forbidden." Marcilene said pushing her glasses up with her index finger, "Our family is alive thanks to that rule~ that Cup right there, can send everyone in the Mug village running! Cups are dangerous creatures, right below hellions, which are those creatures that are usually around the Devil himself- those little minions of his",

Elder Kettle covered Cuphead away from the Kettle family, "You guys are insane!"

Maurice giggled, "Oh! Hahaha! We are insane? No! You're insane! For letting a CUP near my son!"

"Cuphead is dangerous?"A voice said from the stairs.

They all looked to see Mugman standing there, disbelief in his eyes.
