The four cup kids walked up to the old teapot house.

Strawberry Crème: I'm kinda nervous....I haven't met any other adults besides....

Chalice: Those old hags back at the orphanage?

Strawberry Crème: Yeah.

Cuphead: Don't worry, Strawberry! You'll do great!

Mugman knocks on the door and Elder Kettle opens it.

Elder Kettle: Hello, boys! How was your day out with Chalice?

Cuphead: It was awesome!

Then, Elder Kettle notices Strawberry.

Elder Kettle: Oh! I see that you boys have another friend.

Cuphead: Yep! We met her eariler today.

Strawberry Crème: Um....hello, I'm Strawberry Crème....sorry, I'm kinda nervous.....

Elder Kettle: Oh, no worries! It's nice to meet you!

Later, the four cup kids went upstairs and up to the bedroom. Cuphead closes the door.

Strawberry Crème: Wow....I can't believe this is your house.

Cuphead: It's not much but it's still home.

Mugman: Yeah.

Strawberry Crème: I know it's not much here but it looks cozy and safe here to me.

Mugman: Safe?

Strawberry Crème: Yeah.

Mugman: You've never been somewhere cozy and safe before?

Strawberry Crème: No....until now, at least....

Cuphead: How old are you, anyway?

Mugman: Cuphead! Don't be rude!

Strawberry Crème: No, no. It's fine, Mugman. I'm only 13 years old....

Cuphead: You're a year older than us....

Strawberry Crème: Yeah.....

Chalice: How long you were in the orphanage, anyway?

Strawberry Crème: Barely a year.....but it felt like more than that....

The four of them went silent for a moment.

Mugman: Anyway! Elder Kettle went out for the night. What do you guys want to do before we rest?

Cuphead: Marbles?

Mugman: Sure.

Chalice: I'll just hang out here with Strawberry. Just give her a bit to settle in.

Cuphead: Understandable. Com'n, Mugs.

Both of the bros went downstairs while the girls stayed upstairs. Strawberry fiddled with her gloves while Chalice talks to her.

Chalice: Anyway, what interests do you have?

Strawberry Crème: Um...I don't really have any, honesty....

Chalice: Well, I'm gonna take you around town tomorrow and see what you're interested in.

Strawberry Crème: Alright, if you say so....

Chalice looks at tall cup girl's gloves.

Chalice: Your gloves are the same color as the boys'.

Strawberry Crème: Wait, really?

Chalice: Yeah....and I love your outfit. It's pretty.

Strawberry Crème: Really? No one really compliments on it....until now, at least....

The two of them went silent for a moment. Strawberry grips her pale green skirt.

Chalice: ! Hey....are you okay?

Strawberry Crème: I'm fine....I'm just a bit tense.....

Chalice: You're probably just tired.

Chalice sits on her mattress.

Chalice: You can sleep with me if you want to.

Strawberry sat down next to Chalice.

Strawberry Crème: Thanks....

Chalice: No problem.

Strawberry lays her head down on a pillow. Chalice does the same.

Chalice: Good n-

Then, Strawberry fell asleep right away.

Chalice: Heh.

Chalice fell asleep as well.

Later, the boys came back upstairs to find the girls sleeping.

Cuphead: (whispers) They're sleeping....

Mugman: (whispers) Best not to distrub them....

~

Later, all of them fell asleep.

A bit later, Strawberry opened her eyes a bit and gently lays Chalice down on the mattress. Strawberry looks out the window to see the stars.

Strawberry Crème: Y'know what.....I think I'm gonna like it here.....
