*she stared at her* b-but aren't you his friend..? *He stepped infront of them, bending down to be level aith them* ah- this is quite the surprise-

*dice grinned at spearmint* ah- here to help me- how nice-

*his eyes widened slightly, his lip drew back angrily* why, it can't be- *Candy stared up at him, growling nervously*

*her words seemed to catch him off guard, the look in his eyes softened* i- *Candy lifted her hand up a bit, aiming at him*

*he stared at her for a moment, before glancing away* you know what will happen to both of us- *Candy looked at spearmint, smiling* youre getting to him!-

*he took a good look at her, before a small smile came across his face, he took her hand, muttering* i trust you- *Candy looked at them* what abou- *Before she could finish, the brothers spawned once again, next to her*

*the brothers glanced at each other, clearly confused* *Candy sighed* dont ask- *Dice coughed ackwardly*

*mugman smiled* wowie!- you really are a wonder- *Cuphead huffed* she takes all the fun out of it- *Candy elbowed him* Nothing fun about beating people up *Dice laughed Looking at spearmint*

*dice sighed* where to now-? *Cuphead glanced at the ceiling* i believe next stop is the devil himself- *Candy shivered* no- *Mugman gulped*

*dice looked down* he ain't- all that bad really- *Cuphead scoffed* are you stupid? You know He's litteraly the devil- right?-

*cuphead growled* once. *Dice sighed* hes a good man-

*cuphead tapped his foot* no way! *Candy sighed* hush-

*mugman tapped her shoulder* m-miss- im scared- *Cuphead sighed* we'll...be fine- *Candy shivered, dice looked down*

*mugman looked down, cuphead nodded* *Candy muttered* if we do this- we beat the game- we'll finally be free- *Dice nodded*

*dice looked over at them* *Cup threw his hands in the air* I can't choose, that's on candy and mugman!-

*candy shook her head* no way im letting you guys get hurt- any of us-

*dice led them through the casino, stopping at a big black door* *Candy took a deep breath* so...this is it-

*the devil sat at his throne, his head in his hand* spearmint. King dice- I wasn't expecting you two as well-

*he tilted his head, his voice going lower* threatening me? Do you believe that is wise-? *Dice stepped forward* boss-

*he smiled* you don't scare me little one. None of you do- *Cuphead raised his fists* we can take em- *Dice spoke again, his voice a bit more firm* boss- they mean you no harm- just let them go-

*the devil tilted his head* even my right hand man has left my side-? *Dice looked down before nodding* im sorry sir, but i must stand for what's right-

*mugman shook his head* no!- *Dice looked back at her* no no- I'll stay... *The devil raised a brow*

*the devil went to say something* *This time cuphead spoke up* no- were all leaving this place, you're not getting any souls today- we all worked for this and we all deserve this, were all good people and deep down i know you are too- *The devil paused, his eyes widened*

*he tapped his chin, before growling in defeat* i- suppose- but just this once!-

*he nodded* pointing to all of them* but if I ever catch any of you dealing with me again- *Cuphead nodded* we wont- *Mugman and candy nodded as well, dice sighed*

*he blinked confusedly for a moment* i- uh- *Both mugman and cuphead snorted, candy burst into laughter*

*he glanced away, grumbling embarrassingly* i- suppose- *Candy and cuphead whistled, dice elbowed them both*

*he huffed, embarrassingly hugging back for only a moment* alright alright-

*he continued grumbling, his face a bit red* *Cuphead laughed* wow- *Candy and mugman Snickered, dice rubbed his temples*

*cuphead elbowed spearmint* you sureeee?- *Dice hit him in the back of his head* don't be weird- *Candy and mugman laughed*

*dice looked around* i have no idea- I haven't been out of that casino in years- *Cuphead shrugged* we can do whatever we want now-

*dice tilted his head* eggroll? *Candy grinned* yes!-

*they all nodded, once again following her*

*dice had to bend down a bit to get through the door, he looked around* nice place- *Mugman nodded* yeah! *Candy and cuphead were chatting*

*dice shyly walked up to the cat, he looked at candy* this thing- looks like you- *Candy laughed* yes i am also a cat- *He tilted his head* why is this one small- and- unclothed-? *The other three burst out into laughter*

*the others were still laughing uncontrollably* *He nodded* ohhhh- i see

*he nodded, taking an eggroll and eating it, then he smiled* woah!- *The others rushed to take one*

*they all sat down, quietly eating* *Dice looked at her again* uh- thank you by the way- for sparing me and saving us-

*all of them gave her a warm smile*

*cuphead smiled* we could go- *Candy elbowed him* don't you dare say it- *Mugman sighed* we could take a boat trip

*he paused, hisbface reddend* *Cuphead burst into laughter* hahaha! She knows! She knows!

*his straw seemed to swirl in his head, he looked in a daze* *Cuphead laughed* oh the poor kids heart- *Candy snickered* *Dice seemed confused*

*he blinked, repeating the word* cr-ush-? *Candy looked at him* aweeee- no way you don't know what a crush is-

*he tapped the side of his head, as if in thought* oh- hm- *Candy grinned* yeah like me an- *Cuphead shoved her* sh!- *Mugman was mumbling happily* shes just so cute-

*he shook his head* I don't believe so *he looked at her* I only started caring about people today- *he smiled a bit* and you're at the top of the list- *Candy laughed, cuphead smiled*

*candy elbowed her* what about youuuu-? *Cuphead grinned* yeah!- *Dice tilted his head*

*candy made a pouting face, cuphead chuckled a bit* *Dice dropped his gaze to the floor*

*cuphead looked at dice* good job airhead- now she's all sad- *Dice looked down* sorry- *Mugman elbowed candy* you're a girl- go talk to her- *Candy sighed and nodded, getting up*

*candy walked out after her after a moment* hey- spears- *she sat next to her* you did not-

*she looked over at her* he's new to feelings- he has no idea what to make of any of it- but it's best to not beat yourself up over it-

*she patted her back gently* and hey, if it makes you feel any better, we all loved the food- *she smiled weakly*

*she nodded* come in when youre ready-
