Flowey: *Wakes up* Wait... Did I fall asleep?! Well, it doesn't matter... Pastel, are you- *Notices that Pastel is gone* up...? Oh... Uh... Okay, guess she left... *He grabs the edge of the bed with his mouth and drops down, then he tips his pot sideways, and rolls into Bendy's room* Hey, ya little Devil! How are... ya....

Boris: Oh! Sorry, Flowey... He's not-

Flowey: *His face drains of any expression that he had* He's... getting worse... Isn't he? *Boris nods* Why are you two staying here?? You could get to the ink machine so much faster if you even walked there!

Boris: You know how bad it gets when e walks, Flowey... And, we're here because we need to find a cat-looking person named Felix...

Flowey: Oh! I think that I know him! That's that... author, right?

Bendy: *Sits up* And adventurer! I heard that all of the books that he wrote are telling the stories of his adventures!

Boris: Um... Bendy, you really should rest longer...

Bendy: No! I'm fine! Really, Boris! 

Boris: *Sigh* Well, if you say so. Flowey, do you know where he lives?

Flowey: What?! N-No! I'm not a stalker, Boris! Anyway, he hangs down at the cafe down the street a lot, so if we're to start anywhere, it should be there.

Boris: Alright then! *He picks up Flowey, and grabs Bendy's hand* Let's go! *They walk to the cafe* So... Where would he be...? *He looks around and see's a cat-looking person with a fedora and long tan pea coat sitting at the counter* 

Bendy: *His eye's light up with excitement* Th-That's him! That's him!

Boris: Heh heh! Alright, let's go talk to him! *They walk up and sit to the left of him* Um... You're Felix, aren't you?

Felix: Uh... Yes, I am! What about you?

Boris: I'm Boris, this is my brother Bendy, and my friend Flowey! We were wondering if we could ask you something?

Bendy: *Peeks over Boris* O-Or maybe get an autograph?

Felix: Heh heh! Of course! I can do both! *Bendy hands him a book, Felix opens the cover of the book and begins to sign it* So, what questions do you have?

Boris: Well, we were wondering if you knew anything about... Inkness?

Felix: Oh! Um! Well, I was actually going to add that into one of my books but... The Inkness is such a touchy subject... With friends or family who have passed on because of it, I just didn't want to upset anyone who had a history with it... But, what would you like to know about it?

Boris: So... The Inkness can  kill him... Do you know of a way to cure it?

Felix: Cure the Inkness? Um... Well, I've heard about an ink machine that can stop Inkness, I was planning for that to be my next adventure! I should know, if the stories are true, exactly where it is! 

Boris: R-Really?! That's great news! 

Felix: Oh? Would you three like to go on the adventure with me? I don't usually have company, but it would be nice to- *Suddenly a rabbit-looking person runs up and hugs Felix*

Felix: Uh... S-Sir?

??????: Ozzy! No! *They pull the rabbit off of Felix*

Mickey: I'm so sorry! My brother isn't usually like this! Please forgive him!

Felix: Oh! Uh! I-It's alright! I was just a bit confused at first! No harm done!

Mickey: Are you alright, Ozzy? What's going on?

Oswald: *Nods head*

Mickey: Phew... Again, sorry for the trouble! C'mon, do you still want a cup of coffee, Oz?

Boris: A-Anyway, yes! We'd love to go with you! But... We should probably tell the others back home before we go...

Felix: Oh, of course! I should probably grab my stuff from my tent, anyway!

Bendy: W-Wait, "tent"?

Felix: Oh, um! The Humans wouldn't really let me buy a house... 

Bendy: You could stay at our house! 

Felix: No, no! I wouldn't want to be a bother!

Boris: Oh, it's no problem at all! I promise! They started out with just some Monsters, but then they took in me, Bendy, Cup, Mugs, Chara, a lot of people!

Felix: Well, if you really do insist... I guess that I'll go with you! *Boris and Bendy stand up, Felix then following, they walk to the door, but they're stopped by Oswald holding a small chalkboard to Felix, "I am sorry about earlier, you just remind me of somebody that I used to know" * Oh, it's quite alright! I mean, who can say no to a hug? Heh heh... *Oswald walks back to Mickey and the other four leave to the house*

*With Cuphead and Mugman in Cup's room*

Cuphead: So... Have you located the Ink machine yet?

Mugman: N-No... But, Cup... Can I ask something?

Cuphead: What is it?

Mugman: What if... Somebody ELSE that we know... may or may not be going after the Ink machine?

Cuphead: Then we befriend them, let them lead us to it, then take it away from them at the last second... So, who are they?

Mugman: W-Well! It's just a question for the future, you know? Not-

Cuphead: Who is it, Mugs? I'm not going to ask again.

Mugman: B-Bendy and Boris...

Cuphead: Well, then... Looks like it's social hour, What do you think, Mugs? *Mugman nods his head sadly* Hey, cheer up! If we don't do this for The Devil, he'll kill us! And, It's not like you'll be real  friends with him, anyway! I'll even let you choose which one that you want to be "Friends" with, too! What do you say?

Mugman: *Sigh* I'll take Boris...

Cuphead: Alright, let's go! *Walks out of his room and see's Bendy, Boris, and Felix enter the house* Hey, Bendy!

Bendy: Huh? What is it?

Cuphead: I was wondering if you'd want to play some video games later!

Bendy: Uh, sure...? But, I can't play for too long, me, Boris, and Mr. Felix here are gonna go on an adventure.

Cuphead: Well, that's perfect! Why don't I go with you! In fact, me and Mugs should go!

Bendy: Well, alright! As long as it's alright with Mr. Felix!

Felix: Of course! The more, the merrier! We should probably wait until tomorrow, though! None of us are really ready! 

Bendy: Okay, Mr. Felix! 

Felix:  You can just call me Felix! Oh! And, here's your book! I forgot to give it back earlier!

Flowey: Uh, guys... About those guys from the coffee shop earlier... I think that they're our neighbors...

Boris: What would make you say that?

Flowey: They just pulled into the driveway next-door... And they had a key to their house... I'm pretty sure that they live there...

Cuphead: Hey, Bendy! Since we don't have to leave till tomorrow, you wanna play those video games?!

Bendy: Oh! Sure! Since we- *Cuphead grabs Bendy's arm and runs upstairs to play video games with Bendy*

Boris: Uh... That was a little odd...

Mugman: Oh, uh! Cup just really likes video games... Boris, you wanna go and play some ForLinder outside?

Boris: Sure! *They walk outside to battle*

Felix: Well... That was strange... *He awkwardly sits on the couch* I'm just going to stay here for a bit... *He pulls out a book and starts to write in it*

A/N - Sorry that took so long! My internet went out until about an hour ago... Also, welcome back, Eliver! (I meant to write the "Welcome back" part for the first chapter but I forget everything so... yeah) Also, if this is your birthday in RL too, then Happy birthday! 🎂🎂
