One week later, the trio and Strawberry relaxed in the living room, playing with marbles.
Mugman: I win.
The trio put the marbles away while Strawberry spoke up.
Strawberry Crème: Why don't we play Truth or Dare? It's pretty rainy outside and it's the perfect time for it!
Mugman: Are you sure it's safe to go out in that weather?
Strawberry Crème: Do you guys have a tent somewhere?
Mugman: There's one in the attic.
Strawberry runs upstairs. Mugman turns to Chalice.
Mugman: She seems excited.
Chalice: Or nervous. I can't tell....
~
Later, the four of them sat in the huge tent in the backyard.
Cuphead: So, who wants to go first?
~
After the dares, no one has told truths yet.....
Mugman: Since we did Dare, we can do Truth now. Who wants to go first?
Cuphead: Me. I'll go first.
Mugman: Go ahead, bro.
Cuphead: It's time I tell you.
Mugman: ??
Cuphead: I'm aroace. I'm just not interested in romance stuff yet.....that's all....
Mugman: That's....amazing, bro! I understand you're not into romance. It's not for everyone.
Cuphead:......thanks, Mugs.
Mugman: No problem. Now, I have something to tell you, too.....I'm bi and I'm a little asexual. Even though I like both genders, I just don't have the sexual attraction.
Cuphead: Understandable, lil bro.
Mugman: Wow. We both came out....
Cuphead: Yep.
Cuphead looks at Strawberry.
Cuphead: Your turn.
Strawberry Crème: Um....I'm....I....I can't tell you....
Mugman: Why not?
Strawberry Crème: I....I.....
Strawberry runs out of the tent.
Mugman: Hey, wait! (sigh)
Chalice: Is she alright?
Mugman: I'm not sure.....but we need to go after her.
Cuphead: Agreed.
The trio runs out of the tent.
~
Strawberry runs through the pouring rain.
Strawberry Crème: (sniffling)
Strawberry hides in a bush.
Strawberry Crème: (sobbing)
~
With the trio.....
Mugman: Why does Strawberry wanted to do Truth or Dare in the pouring rain?! We should've stayed inside!
Cuphead: She wanted to come out as well, but she's too afraid!
Mugman: Wait....really? Is she also araoce?
Cuphead: Actually....yes. She is. But she's also a demigirl....
Mugman: Now wonder she's too afraid to come out. She's afraid we would judge her gender. But we don't!
Cuphead: Her pronouns are she/they....she told me the other day....she wanted to tell you guys but....
Mugman: Instead, she just ran off....
Chalice: Guys....I hear something.
Mugman: I hear it, too.....
Cuphead: It sounds like someone is crying..... (!!) Strawberry.....she must be hiding in the bushes.....
Mugman points to the bush Strawberry is hiding in.
Mugman: She's hiding in that one.
Cuphead: Go talk to her, Mugs....
Mugman: Okay, bro.
Mugman joins Strawberry in the bush.
Mugman: Hey.
Strawberry Crème: (sniffle) Hey, Mugs.....what are you doing here....
Mugman: You ran off earlier....are you okay?
Strawberry Crème: Yeah....I'm sorry I ran off like that....
Strawberry wipes her eyes.
Mugman: Cuphead told me why you ran off....we won't judge you based on your gender....
Mugman puts his hand on Strawberry's.
Strawberry Crème: It's just....the orphanage is homophobic and transphobic.....I came out to them once....they locked me up in a closet all night.....
Mugman: Oh, my gosh....that must've been horrible.....
Strawberry Crème: Yeah....it was....and I haven't spoken a word about it ever since.....
Mugman notices something on Strawberry's face.
Mugman: Is that a crack on your face?
Strawberry Crème: Yeah....they hitted me with a ruler a little too hard and I ended up with a permanent crack on my face.....
Mugman: Oh, my gosh....
Strawberry walked out of the bush and leaned against a tree. Mugman comes out of the bush as well and sat next to her.
Strawberry Crème: I'm glad I got out of that horrible place....
Mugman: I'm glad, too....those people are jerks....you're safe here.....
Strawberry hugs him.
Strawberry Crème: Thanks, Mugs....
Mugman hugs her back.
Mugman: No problem....
~
Later, the four of them arrived home.
Strawberry Crème: Welp, that was a mess.
Cuphead: Yep.
Idk how to end this chapter, so-
