It's a beautiful winter day and the trio sits in the living room, while Strawberry glummly sits on the couch.

Strawberry Crème: (sigh)

Chalice sits next to her.

Chalice: You okay, girl?

Strawberry Crème: I'm okay.....it's just....I was just thinking....

Strawberry rubs her wrist.

Strawberry Crème: I know me and Cuphead forgave each other but I still feel guilty about what I said to him. I never acted or felt like that before.

Chalice: Hey, it takes some time to get it off your shoulders but that's okay. Cuphead and Mugman get into fights all the time but they still care for each other.

Strawberry Crème: I guess you're right....

Chalice: Anyway, want to play marbles with us?

Strawberry Crème: Sure. What's that?

Chalice: We'll teach ya!

During the day, the trio taught Strawberry to play marbles and soon after, she started to get good at it.

Cuphead: You're a natural!

Strawberry Crème: Thanks....

Cuphead: ? Is something on your mind, Strawberry?

Strawberry Crème: Well-

Then, the house went dark.

Mugman and Strawberry: (screams)

Cuphead: Relax, you two. The lights just went out.

Chalice: The power must've went out. There must've been a huge storm outside and made the power go out.

Mugman: I can't see!

Elder Kettle turns on a lantern and shines it on the four.

Elder Kettle: You kids alright?

Cuphead: Yeah, we're okay.

Mugman: We're good.

Chalice: We're fine.

Strawberry Crème: Yeah, we're doing okay.

Cuphead picks up the marbles and puts them in a sack and puts the sack in his pocket.

Upstairs, the four of them sat in the bedroom with four lanterns.

Strawberry Crème: So... what now?

Cuphead: I don't know.....

Strawberry Crème: We could talk until the storm passes.

Mugman: Wanna tell secrets or something? Nothing personal.

Cuphead: Eh, why not?

Mugman: Who wants to go first?

Cuphead: I'll go first. I ate all of Mugman's Halloween candy because I didn't have self control.

Mugman: Yep, I remember that well....

Strawberry Crème: Wait....(snicker).....really?

Cuphead: Yeah! Mugman got so mad.

Mugman: Okay. Enough of that. I'm next. I have stage fright.

Cuphead: I already knew that.

Chalice: Wait, really?

Mugman: Yeah....

Strawberry Crème: Hey, there's nothing to be ashamed of.....I have stage fright, too.
