When he was close enough to see the fox, the fox at first doesn't notice him as he was still feeling sad, but when he came up to him, he said, ``uhh...excuse me?''\n\nAt this the fox was startled a bit and said, ``W-who are you?''\n\n``Oh, forgive me,'' the stranger said, ``Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Blaze.''\n\n``H-hello...'' the fox said, ``I'm Red.''\n\n``What are you doing out here all by yourself?'' Blaze asked.\n\n``I'm sad...'' Red said, sniffling.\n\n``What about?'' Blaze asked.\n\n``I'm lonely...'' Red said, ``I don't have any friends...''\n\n``Well, as far as I know, there are plenty of people on this island.'' Blaze said.\n\n``Really?'' Red asked.\n\n``Oh yes,'' Blaze said, ``There are many kinds of people that live together on this island as friends to one another, I'm sure there are friends for you as well.''\n\n``What if they don't like me?'' Red asked.\n\n``Don't be so quick to judge before you get to know someone.'' Blaze said, ``I can be a friend to you, and I don't hate you.''\n\n``Do you really mean it?'' Red asked.\n\n``Of course, I do.'' Blaze replied, ``You don't seem like a bad person, er, fox.''\n\n``No, I'm not a bad fox.'' Red said, ``And thank you, I'd like to take a walk.''\n\n``Okay then.'' Blaze said, ``Come with me.'' He then offered his paw to Red, which he then accepted, and the duo then started walking together through Inkwell Isle until they came upon a cottage.\n\n``What's that house Blaze?'' Red asked.\n\n``Hmmm,'' Blaze said, ``If I'm not mistaken, this is the home of Cuphead, Mugman, and their grandfather.''\n\n``Cuphead? Mugman? Who are they?'' Red asked.\n\n``Haven't you heard?'' Blaze asked, ``They are national heroes that have saved their home from the Devil when he forced them to hurt the other inhabitants and take their soul contracts so they could serve under him after they were duped into a bet with him.''\n\n``Oh wow.'' Red said.\n\n``Yep,'' Blaze said, ``Cuphead learned not to get himself tangled in such situations after his greed almost got the better of him.''\n\n``I see...'' Red replied, but then he started to feel sad.\n\nAt this, Blaze asked, ``Something wrong, Red?''\n\n``Oh, it's nothing Blaze...'' Red said sadly.\n\n``You sure?'' Blaze asked, ``You sound sad.''\n\n``That's because I am sad.'' Red replied.\n\n``What about?'' Blaze asked.\n\n``My parents...'' Red replied.\n\n``What happened to them?'' Blaze asked.\n\n``Something terrible, but I don't want to talk about it.'' Red said.\n\n``Well, if you don't feel like talking about it, it's fine with me.'' Blaze said.\n\n``Thanks Blaze, I knew you'd understand.'' Red said.\n\nJust then, two cup-headed figures walked outside of the house, one of them, Cuphead, had a wide cup for a head and red and white striped bendy straw, while the other, Mugman, resembled a mug and had a blue and white striped straw coming out of his head.\n\nWhen Cuphead spotted Red and Blaze, he said, ``Hey Mug! Who's that?''\n\n``Who's wha-?'' replied Mugman, seeing them, ``Oh, it would appear we have some visitors.''\n\n``Let?s go meet ?em!'' Cuphead said eagerly.\n\n``Alright, but let's be careful.'' Mugman said, ``The last time we met someone new, we ended almost getting ourselves killed.''\n\n``Right.'' Cuphead said, and with that the two brothers cautiously approached Red and Blaze.\n\nAt this, Red said, ``Blaze? I think they?re coming toward us.'' Red then started hugging Blaze's leg all scared.\n\nBlaze looked down at Red and said, ``Don?t worry buddy, they will not hurt you.''\n\n``They won't?'' Red asked, looking up at Blaze.\n\n``Yeah, they are nice kids.'' Blaze replied.\n\n``Oh, okay.'' Red said, letting go of Blaze's leg.\n\n``Hi! I'm Cuphead!'' said Cuphead.\n\n``And I'm Mugman!'' said Mugman.\n\n``Well, hello,'' Blaze said, ``It's nice to meet the legend of Inkwell Isle.''\n\n``Who are you?'' Cuphead asked.\n\n``Yeah, who are you?'' Mugman asked.\n\n``I am Blaze Heart, of the Care Bears,'' Blaze said, bowing, ``and this is...''\n\n``H-hello...'' Red said, shyly, ``I'm Red.''\n\n``Well, then,'' said Cuphead holding out his gloved hand, ``Nice ta meet ya, Red!''\n\nRed politely shook Cuphead's hand, and Mugman said, ``Would you like to play with us?''\n\n``Sure, I guess.'' Red said.\n\n``So then, what shall we try to do first?'' Blaze asked.\n\n``I'll play whatever Cuphead and Mugman want to play.'' Red said.\n\n``Well, truth be told,'' Cuphead said, ``Me and Muggy here were just about to head down to the malt shop for a quick pick-me-up. Care to join us?''\n\n``Sure, I'd love to!'' Red said.\n\n``Oh yes, I could go for a malt.'' Blaze said.\n\n``Wonderful,'' Mugman said, ``Then let's be on our way.''\n\nWith that the four friends headed on their way to the malt shop, and on the way there Cuphead said, ``Let me tell you guys, this is the best malt shop in all of Inkwell Isle.''\n\n``Well, truth be told, it's the only one in Inkwell Isle.'' Mugman said.\n\nCuphead quickly covered his brother's mouth and said, ``Hush my brother, you're killing the mood.''\n\nAt this, Red said, ``Really?''\n\n``Oh, take it from me,'' Cuphead said, ``I know the best.''\n\n``Then let's go!'' Red said.\n\nSoon enough, they arrived at the front of the malt shop.\n\n``Here we have it, InkMalt, the best on the island.'' Cuphead said.\n\n``Let's go inside, Blaze!'' Red said eagerly.\n\n``Alrighty then.'' Blaze said and the four friends entered the malt shop together.\n\nOnce inside, Red said, ``Where do we sit, guys?''\n\n``There is a spot that me and Muggy always sit at, over in this booth.'' Cuphead said.\n\n``Okay, we'll join you there.'' Red said.\n\n``Alright,'' Cuphead said, ``Did you want to come and order with us?''\n\nRed turned to Blaze and said, ``Should we Blaze?''\n\n``Of course.'' Blaze replied, ``I need to see what's available here to purchase myself.''\n\n``Yeah, same with me.'' Red said.\n\n``Okay then,'' Cuphead said, ``Let's go up and make our decisions.''\n\nWith that, Red and Blaze sat at the counter with Cuphead and Mugman, and a pig shouted, ``WELCOME!''\n\n``So, what is there Blaze?'' Red asked.\n\n``Hmmmm...'' Blaze said, looking at the menu, ``Ahh, I know. I shall take the Keylime Pie milkshake.''\n\n``I shall take the lemon sorbet kind.'' Cuphead said.\n\n``And I will have the blueberry cheesecake flavor.'' Mugman said.\n\n``Me, I'll have the chocolate.'' Red said.\n\n``Very well!'' said the pig, handing Red a number, ``I'll have them ready and brought to ya!''\n\n``Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, I can't wait!'' Red said, excitedly.\n\n``Alright then,'' Cuphead said, ``Back to our table, we must let the pig do his job.'' Cuphead then zipped over to the table like his Dodge attack, and Red, Blaze and Mugman walk over to the table where he is sitting.\n\n``I just wanted to say, thanks for taking me here, guys.'' Red said.\n\n``Of course, anything to get acquainted with a new friend.'' Cuphead said, and at this, Red just smiled.\n\n``So then,'' Blaze said to Red, ``Can you tell me and the guys here about yourself?''\n\n``Well, I've been living here in Inkwell Isle for a while, but I don't have any special powers like Cuphead and Mugman...''\n\n``Really? That's no surprise.'' Cuphead said, ``Our grandfather the Elder Kettle gave us our shooting powers.''\n\n``Really?'' Red asked.\n\n``Of course.'' Cuphead said, ``If you ask me, he must've been a master shooter in his youth.''\n\n``Well, he sounds like someone I'd like to meet.'' Red replied.\n\n``Perhaps after our milkshakes, we can go back to our place and you both could meet him.'' Cuphead suggested.\n\n``That sounds great, Cuphead!'' Red said.\n\nJust then, the pig came over with a tray and said, ``Here are your milkshakes, fellas.''\n\n``Thank you.'' Red said to the pig, and the pig went back to the counter, while Cuphead, Mugman, Red and Blaze all started to drink their milkshakes.\n\n``Mmm-mm! My favorite!'' Cuphead said.\n\n``Mmm, this is incredible!'' Red said.\n\n``Yep, Pig makes the best.'' Cuphead said.\n\n``Yes, I must concur.'' Blaze said.\n\nAfter everyone drank their milkshakes, Cuphead and Mugman paid for everything and the four friends headed back towards the cottage where Cuphead and Mugman lived with Elder Kettle.\n\n``Thanks for taking me to InkMalt guys,'' Red said, ``I had a wonderful time.''\n\n``No problem.'' Cuphead said, ``It's always the one-stop place to make new friends.''\n\nRed smiled, and then he said, ``So how long will it take us to get to your house, Cuphead?''\n\n``We didn't go too far, let's get going.'' Cuphead said.\n\n``Okay then, lead the way!'' Red said.\n\nAt that, they all started to head towards Cuphead and Mugman's house by following a light-colored dirt path, and before long, they arrived at Cuphead and Mugman's house.\n\n``Gee, I hope your grandfather is home, Cuphead...'' Red said.\n\n``Oh, he is.'' Cuphead said, ``He tends to be at home a lot.''\n\n``Oh, I see.'' Red said, and then he knocked on the door, and a giant tea kettle with a mustache opened the door. At this, Red said, ``Hi, I'm Red. Red the Fox. You must be Cuphead and Mugman's grandfather. It's very nice to meet you.''\n\n``Yes, I am.'' Elder Kettle said, ``I am Elder Kettle.''\n\n``Before I get ahead of myself, this is Blaze Heart.'' Red said.\n\n``Hello,'' Blaze said, ``I have come from afar to see this wonderful world of zaniness.''\n\n``Pleasure to meet you.'' Elder Kettle said, shaking Blaze's paw.\n\n``These are our new friends, Elder Kettle,'' Cuphead said, ``May they come in?''\n\n``But of course,'' Elder Kettle said, ``Come on in while I prepare some tea for you and the guys.''\n\nAt that, Elder Kettle began to walk inside the house, with Red, Blaze, Cuphead and Mugman followed him, and while Elder Kettle went to the kitchen, Red, Blaze, Cuphead and Mugman went to the living room and sat down on their comfy chairs.\n\n``You know, this is nice and soft guys.'' Red said.\n\n``Oh yes, these chairs are great for sleeping in.''\n\nSuddenly, without warning, a loud fart escaped from Red, and he said, ``Uh-oh...''\n\n``Whoa, sounds like someone broke wind.'' Cuphead said.\n\nAt this, Red was very nervous, and as a result, his ears drooped as he motioned toward Blaze and said, ``Blaze...? There's something I gotta tell you...''\n\n``What is it?'' Blaze asked, concerned, ``Are you okay?''\n\n``No, it's - '' Red said before being cut off by another fart, ``I gotta go potty but I don't use the toilet...'' Then Red lowered his voice and said, ``I wear diapers, but I don't want Cuphead and Mugman finding out... can you please help me?''\n\n``Sure, of course.'' Blaze said, ``Do you have any diapers on you?''\n\n``Yes, I do.'' Red said, whispering, ``I'm wearing one right now.''\n\n``Good.'' Blaze said, ``Do you have any spare diapers for me to change you into?''\n\n``Yeah,'' Red said, ``They're in my diaper bag with my changing supplies and spare clothes.''\n\n``Good.'' Blaze said, ``Now, where is your diaper bag?''\n\n``Hang on,'' Red said, ``I'll find it.'' At this, Red searched through his hammerspace until he found his diaper bag and handed it over to Blaze and said, ``Here you go Blaze.''\n\n``Excellent.'' Blaze said, ``Sooooo, did you want me to change your diaper in a private place?''\n\n``Yes, please Blaze.'' Red replied, but as soon as he got out of his seat, Red's stomach started rumbling loudly as Blaze took him by the hand.\n\n``Okay.'' Blaze said, and then turning to Elder Kettle he said, ``Red is going to the restroom and I'll be bringing him there.''\n\n``Okay,'' said Elder Kettle, ``It's just down that way.'' With that, Red followed Blaze down the hall to the bathroom.\n\nAlong the way, Red said, ``Blaze? I'm sorry for the literal big stink I made back there...''\n\n``Not sure why you have to be sorry,'' Blaze said, ``It's just a natural thing.''\n\n``Oh, right, I knew that Blaze.'' Red said, but then his stomach gurgled, and he said, ``Ooooh... I don't know how long I can hold it!''\n\n``Calm down, Red,'' Blaze said, reassuringly, ``We're almost to the bathroom.''\n\nAt this, Red took a deep breath and said, ``I'm sorry, Blaze, my stomach really hurts!''\n\n``It will be okay, Red.'' Blaze said, ``I promise.''\n\n``Thanks Blaze.'' Red said, ``I needed that.''\n\nSoon enough, they arrived at the bathroom, but by the time they had gotten inside it, Red's stomach had had enough and as a result, Red started to pass gas until he filled his diaper, at which Red sighed in relief.\n\n``There we go.'' Blaze said, nuzzling Red, ``All better.''\n\n``I'm ready to be changed now.'' Red said, and then he took off his shorts and laid down on the bathroom floor.\n\n``Okay.'' Blaze said as he began by opening and discarding Red's dirty diaper and wiping his dirty bottom. \n\n``That feels good, Blaze.'' Red said.\n\nBlaze smiled at Red as he threw Red's dirty diaper away and brought out the baby powder and started to cover his bottom with some. \n\n``Blaze, I know I don't want Cuphead and Mugman to find out about me wearing diapers, but is there a way for me to cover up my diaper?''\n\n``Aren't you wearing shorts to begin with?'' Blaze asked.\n\n``Oh yeah...'' Red said.\n\nAt this Blaze snuggled Red, ``You feel any better?''\n\n``Yeah, but I'd like to get my diaper and shorts back on so we can get back to Cuphead and Mugman.'' Red said, ``Hopefully, the tea Elder Kettle is making isn't done yet, otherwise I'd miss it.''\n\n``It's not like he's gonna get rid of the tea if we don't show back up, so what's your rush?'' Blaze asked.\n\nAt this, Red sighed and said, ``I guess I shouldn't be in a hurry to get changed, should I Blaze?''\n\n``Only if you really think we need to return to them now.'' Blaze said.\n\n``Well, I'd like to finish getting changed first before we get to them if that's okay.''\n\n``Of course.'' Blaze said, and once he was finished taping the diaper around Red's waist he said, ``There.''\n\nAfter that, Red put his shorts back on, walked over to Blaze, hugged him and said, ``Thank you Blaze, I can't tell you how good it feels to be in a clean diaper!''\n\n``Just like my cubs,'' Blaze said, ``They like clean diapers too.''\n\n``You have other kids too?'' Red asked.\n\n``Oh yes,'' Blaze said, ``Back in Care-A-Lot, I have many cubs that my beautiful wife and I take care of and raise together.''\n\n``Do you think a Toon like me can visit there someday?'' Red asked.\n\n``Anyone is allowed to visit Care-A-Lot.'' Blaze said.\n\n``Oh, I see,'' Red said, ``But I don't think it would be very nice to just leave Cuphead and Mugman like that. Maybe we could set aside a day for you to take me?''\n\n``Of course.'' Blaze said.\n\n``Thanks, Blaze.'' Red said, ``I think I'm ready to go back to Cuphead and Mugman now.''\n\n``Okay then.'' Blaze said, snuggling him and helping him to his feet.\n\nAfter that, Red and Blaze leave the bathroom and come back to where Cuphead and Mugman are, and upon seeing them, Mugman asked, ``Is Red okay?''\n\n``Oh yes, he is much better now.'' Blaze said, patting Red's head.\n\n``Did we miss the tea, guys?'' Red asked.\n\n``Not at all.'' Elder Kettle replied, ``It has just been finished. Do you like strawberry or raspberry tea?''\n\n``Which one tastes better?'' Red asked.\n\n``I prefer either one of them.'' Elder Kettle replied.\n\n``I think I'll try the strawberry tea.'' Red said.\n\n``Set this in your cup.'' Elder Kettle said, handing him a teabag labeled with a strawberry and a teacup.\n\n``Thank you.'' Red said, accepting it and doing so.\n\n``Now I shall pour the hot water into your cup.'' Elder Kettle said, and he slowly began to do so.\n\n``Thank you, Elder Kettle.'' Red said.\n\n``Raspberry for me please.'' Blaze said, and after Blaze opened the raspberry teabag and set it in his cup, and then Elder Kettle poured the water inside it.\n\n``So, what brings you here to Inkwell Isle?'' Elder Kettle said, asking Blaze.\n\n``Well, I guess when I heard all about it from some good friends of mine, I just felt the need to get out there and see it for myself. I mean, come on, an island composed of cartoon characters from an era gone by, of course I wanna see that.'' Blaze replied.\n\n``As for you young Red,'' Elder Kettle said, ``I notice you kind of look like you're from around here, so what brings you to my humble abode?''\n\n``Well,'' Red began, ``I was sitting on a sidewalk in Inkwell Isle until Blaze came along, I was sad because I had no friends, but now I have Blaze, Cuphead and Mugman. Also, I don't have any special abilities aside from standard Toon abilities.''\n\n``Oooh, what kind of abilities would those be?'' Cuphead asked.\n\n``Well, I can carry items in something called a hammerspace, and beyond that, I have no extra powers, aside from Toonspeeding. Do you think I could get some powers of my own?''\n\n``I suppose that depends.'' Elder Kettle said, ``What are you searching for?''\n\n``Well, something along the lines of what I can do. I'm a Toon fox.'' Red said, taking a sip of his tea, ``Mmm...''\n\n``But if you have the powers, why ask for more of that power?'' Elder Kettle asked.\n\n``Well, the one thing I can't do is fly actually...'' Red said.\n\n``Might I ask why you want to fly?'' Elder Kettle said.\n\n``Well, I think it would be fun to spin my tail around like a helicopter blade.''\n\n``Spinning your tail to fly,'' Elder Kettle said, laughing with an elderly grunt, ``Reminds me of a squirrel who could do that.''\n\n``Right, Conker the Squirrel.'' Red replied, ``But I'd also like to have the same finger-gun powers as your grandsons if that's okay.''\n\n``Well, you do seem like a very responsible character.'' Elder Kettle said.\n\n``Thank you, sir.'' Red replied.\n\n``Well, I didn't say yes yet.'' Elder Kettle said, ``I need you to pass the Tutorial.''\n\n``Oh right!'' Red said, ``I have to learn the same moves Cuphead and Mugman did, like dodging, ducking, parrying, and so on.''\n\n``Exactly.'' Elder Kettle said, and then he pulled out a bottle of the ability, and said, ``Here, take this and go into this little drawing here.'' He then pointed to a white piece of paper with little objects drawn on it on the table.\n\n``Blaze, Cuphead, Mugman, I'll be right back.'' Red said.\n\n``We will be watching from right here.'' Cuphead said.\n\n``Before I go in there, let me finish my tea first.'' Red then drank his tea and drank the potion and went inside the paper, then he said, ``Here I go!''\n\n``Good luck.'' Elder Kettle said, waving to him.\n\n``Knock `em dead!'' Cuphead said.\n\nRed then followed the prompts on each tutorial step until he was all the way through the tutorial, and once he came back out, he said, ``I'm all finished! So how did I do?''\n\n``Hmmmm, yes, yes indeed. I?d say that you have........PASSED!'' Elder Kettle said, giving him a thumbs-up.\n\n``Thank you, Elder Kettle.'' Red said, ``Can I play with your grandsons now or do they have something else they want to do?''\n\n``Not if they have other things to do.'' Elder Kettle said.\n\n``Nope,'' Cuphead said, ``I'm free to play.''\n\n``I as well.'' Mugman said.\n\n``Great!'' Red said, ``What do you guys wanna play?''\n\n``Well, I was thinking we could go to this carnival and-``\n\n``Hold on, Cuphead,'' Mugman said, interrupting his brother, ``Let's at least ask Red what he ``would like to do first. He, oh and Blaze, are our guests after all.''\n\n``Okay, I guess so.'' Cuphead said, huffing a bit.\n\n``Actually, a carnival isn't such a bad idea. In fact, it seems like a good place for me to meet new people.'' And then, turning to Blaze, Red said, ``What about you Blaze? Would you like to go to the carnival?''\n\n``Oh, if there's one thing you ought to know about me is that if a carnival is in town, I must have cheese curds.''\n\nBut then, taking a step back to stop and think Red said, ``Hold on a minute guys, if we all just met up this afternoon, we probably wouldn't have enough time to go to the carnival, would we? I mean, we'd probably need a full day to enjoy the carnival, wouldn't we?''\n\n``Well, if it's like going to Disney World,'' Blaze said, ``Then yes, we would need a whole day to do most of the stuff there.''\n\nRed then turned to Elder Kettle and said, ``Well, what's the carnival like Elder Kettle? Is it like Disney World or is it smaller than that?''\n\n``Oh, well, it's certainly not like that fancy shmancy Disney World. Their company certainly has a lot more money than MDHR, but our carnival is certainly no slouch in the variety department.'' Elder Kettle said.\n\n``So, do we need a day to enjoy it there or not?'' Red asked.\n\n``You'd probably would.'' Elder Kettle replied.\n\n``Okay then, we'll go another day.'' Red said, ``Sound good guys?''\n\n``Fine by me.'' Blaze replied.\n\n``Sure thing.'' Mugman replied.\n\n``Okay, fine.'' Cuphead said with a huff.\n\n``So, with that said, what does everyone want to do?'' Red said, ``We could play outside or play a board game in here. Do you have any board games, Cuphead?''\n\n``Yeah, we do.'' Cuphead said, ``But I'd rather do something fun outside.''\n\n``Okay, then,'' Red said, ``What do you want to do outside?''\n\n``Oh, oh!'' Cuphead said, excitedly, and then running into the closet he came back with a butterfly net, and then he said, ``We could go and catch some insects!''\n\n``Hmm, that sounds like fun, wouldn't you say so Blaze or would you like to hear more suggestions?''\n\n``I don't mind looking for bugs.'' Blaze said.\n\nAt this Red sighed and said, ``I guess let's go bug-hunting!''\n\n``Would you rather do something else?'' Blaze asked.\n\n``No, no, it's fine Blaze.'' Red replied, but as Red was about to head towards the backyard, he felt a tingling sensation in his crotch area causing him to start moving around in a funny way while his legs were crossed and his hands were on his crotch area, and he exclaimed, ``Eeee!!!''\n\n``Uhhh, you need to use the bathroom?'' Cuphead asked, Red had nodded yes, but he put out one of his hands to Blaze, signaling he wanted Blaze to take him to the bathroom, Blaze then took his hand and the two started heading to the bathroom.\n\n``Blaze is such a good friend.'' Mugman said.\n\n``Seems kind of odd for someone of Red's age to be brought to the bathroom.'' Cuphead said.\n\n``What makes you say that Cup?'' Mugman asked.\n\n``Well, he is an adult, isn't he?'' Cuphead asked.\n\n``Well yeah,'' Mugman said, ``But maybe he might be hiding something he doesn't want us to know about Cup.''\n\n``Well, that makes me even more curious.'' Cuphead said.\n\n``But let's not bring it up right when he comes back, we don't want to upset him, do we?'' Mugman said.\n\n``Well...no,'' Cuphead said, ``I don't like to upset others, even though I have a tendency to do it unintentionally.''\n\n``Right, I know.'' Mugman said, ``But just try not to upset him, okay?''\n\n``Alright, I'll try.'' Cuphead said.\n\n``Good.'' Mugman said.\n\nMeanwhile, with Red and Blaze, Red had just finished going in his diaper and had laid down so Blaze could start changing him.\n\n``Blaze?'' Red said, ``I'm sorry about what happened back there, but I didn't want Cuphead and Mugman to see me wetting my diaper.''\n\n``But you are wearing shorts to hide it.'' Blaze said.\n\nAt this, Red sighed and said, ``I know Blaze, but if I had used my diaper in front of them, Cuphead and Mugman would still smell it, which would then lead to them finding out about me wearing diapers, and I'm afraid of what they'd think! It's making me so nervous that I, I - '' Red was so stressed out from his nervousness that he had started crying uncontrollably.\n\nAt this, Blaze said, ``Sshhhhhh, its ok. just calm down and relax, everything will be fine.'' Then Blaze started to massage Red's shoulders.\n\nRed then started to calm down, and he said, ``I'm sorry Blaze, but can you start changing me now?''\n\n``Of course.'' Blaze said, and then he opened up Red's diaper and began to wipe him.\n\n``Blaze?'' Red asked, ``Do you think it's wrong to keep secrets from others?''''\n\n``Well, that's hard to say.'' Blaze said, ``I mean, it's one thing if it's something that you feel won't affect the people you like, it's another if it happens to be something that would otherwise hurt them in the long run.''\n\n``Oh, I see, Blaze.'' Red said, ``Well, the reason I asked is because I've been having second thoughts about keeping my secret from Cuphead and Mugman.''\n\n``You only do what you feel comfortable with doing.'' Blaze replied.\n\n``Okay Blaze,'' Red said, ``But if I do end up having to reveal my secret to Cuphead and Mugman, will you promise to be there with me when I tell them about it?''\n\n``Of course, I will.'' Blaze said, patting Red's head as he got a new diaper out for his bottom, and then, after powdering his private area, he opens up Red's diaper and tapes it up.\n\n``Thanks Blaze.'' Red said, and then, after putting his shorts back on, Red and Blaze exit the bathroom and walked together down the hall to the living room where Cuphead and Mugman were waiting for them.\n\nWhen they arrived there, Cuphead said, ``So, are you guys ready to hunt insects?''\n\n``Oh, yeah, I'm ready.'' Blaze said, summoning a fire-heart shaped butterfly net, ``How about you, Red?''\n\n``Just a minute!'' Red said, and then he searched through his hammerspace until he found his ``butterfly net, and he said, ``Aha! Here it is, got it!''\n\n``Aaaalllllll-Righty then! let?s go gets some bugs!'' Cuphead said.\n\nThe group then ran outside, with Elder Kettle sitting down on his porch chair watching them, and after a while of hunting bugs, Red's stomach started to growl.\n\nAt this Blaze said, ``Something wrong, Red?''\n\nRed nodded and said, ``I'm hungry Blaze...''\n\n``Alright, let's go ask Elder Kettle what he has for food.'' Blaze said.\n\n``Okay...'' Red said.\n\n``Is Red alright?'' Mugman asked.\n\n``He's hungry.'' Blaze replied, ``What does your grandfather have for food?''\n\n``Oh, he has just about any food you can think of.'' Mugman said.\n\n``But I think it's getting close to dinnertime anyway, right Mug?'' Cuphead said.\n\n``Yeah Cuphead.'' Mugman said.\n\n``Why don't we prepare a feast for our new friends, boys?'' Elder Kettle said.\n\n``Yeah!'' Cuphead and Mugman said, and with that, Cuphead and Mugman went inside to help Elder Kettle make dinner. \n\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "InkTales Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Beginnings

It was a beautiful sunny day on Inkwell Isle, and everyone was going about their normal business, but little did they know that their world was going to be visited by an interdimensional traveler from another universe.

The mysterious stranger was walking along a path in a hokey 1930s stride whistling, ``do-di-do-di-do'', but as he walked, he spotted a young fox in yellow shorts sitting by himself sighing sadly, and gradually moved toward him with a bit of caution. When he was close enough to see the fox, the fox at first doesn't notice him as he was still feeling sad, but when he came up to him, he said, ``uhh...excuse me?''

At this the fox was startled a bit and said, ``W-who are you?''

``Oh, forgive me,'' the stranger said, ``Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Blaze.''

``H-hello...'' the fox said, ``I'm Red.''

``What are you doing out here all by yourself?'' Blaze asked.

``I'm sad...'' Red said, sniffling.

``What about?'' Blaze asked.

``I'm lonely...'' Red said, ``I don't have any friends...''

``Well, as far as I know, there are plenty of people on this island.'' Blaze said.

``Really?'' Red asked.

``Oh yes,'' Blaze said, ``There are many kinds of people that live together on this island as friends to one another, I'm sure there are friends for you as well.''

``What if they don't like me?'' Red asked.

``Don't be so quick to judge before you get to know someone.'' Blaze said, ``I can be a friend to you, and I don't hate you.''

``Do you really mean it?'' Red asked.

``Of course, I do.'' Blaze replied, ``You don't seem like a bad person, er, fox.''

``No, I'm not a bad fox.'' Red said, ``And thank you, I'd like to take a walk.''

``Okay then.'' Blaze said, ``Come with me.'' He then offered his paw to Red, which he then accepted, and the duo then started walking together through Inkwell Isle until they came upon a cottage.

``What's that house Blaze?'' Red asked.

``Hmmm,'' Blaze said, ``If I'm not mistaken, this is the home of Cuphead, Mugman, and their grandfather.''

``Cuphead? Mugman? Who are they?'' Red asked.

``Haven't you heard?'' Blaze asked, ``They are national heroes that have saved their home from the Devil when he forced them to hurt the other inhabitants and take their soul contracts so they could serve under him after they were duped into a bet with him.''

``Oh wow.'' Red said.

``Yep,'' Blaze said, ``Cuphead learned not to get himself tangled in such situations after his greed almost got the better of him.''

``I see...'' Red replied, but then he started to feel sad.

At this, Blaze asked, ``Something wrong, Red?''

``Oh, it's nothing Blaze...'' Red said sadly.

``You sure?'' Blaze asked, ``You sound sad.''

``That's because I am sad.'' Red replied.

``What about?'' Blaze asked.

``My parents...'' Red replied.

``What happened to them?'' Blaze asked.

``Something terrible, but I don't want to talk about it.'' Red said.

``Well, if you don't feel like talking about it, it's fine with me.'' Blaze said.

``Thanks Blaze, I knew you'd understand.'' Red said.

Just then, two cup-headed figures walked outside of the house, one of them, Cuphead, had a wide cup for a head and red and white striped bendy straw, while the other, Mugman, resembled a mug and had a blue and white striped straw coming out of his head.

When Cuphead spotted Red and Blaze, he said, ``Hey Mug! Who's that?''

``Who's wha-?'' replied Mugman, seeing them, ``Oh, it would appear we have some visitors.''

``Let?s go meet ?em!'' Cuphead said eagerly.

``Alright, but let's be careful.'' Mugman said, ``The last time we met someone new, we ended almost getting ourselves killed.''

``Right.'' Cuphead said, and with that the two brothers cautiously approached Red and Blaze.

At this, Red said, ``Blaze? I think they?re coming toward us.'' Red then started hugging Blaze's leg all scared.

Blaze looked down at Red and said, ``Don?t worry buddy, they will not hurt you.''

``They won't?'' Red asked, looking up at Blaze.

``Yeah, they are nice kids.'' Blaze replied.

``Oh, okay.'' Red said, letting go of Blaze's leg.

``Hi! I'm Cuphead!'' said Cuphead.

``And I'm Mugman!'' said Mugman.

``Well, hello,'' Blaze said, ``It's nice to meet the legend of Inkwell Isle.''

``Who are you?'' Cuphead asked.

``Yeah, who are you?'' Mugman asked.

``I am Blaze Heart, of the Care Bears,'' Blaze said, bowing, ``and this is...''

``H-hello...'' Red said, shyly, ``I'm Red.''

``Well, then,'' said Cuphead holding out his gloved hand, ``Nice ta meet ya, Red!''

Red politely shook Cuphead's hand, and Mugman said, ``Would you like to play with us?''

``Sure, I guess.'' Red said.

``So then, what shall we try to do first?'' Blaze asked.

``I'll play whatever Cuphead and Mugman want to play.'' Red said.

``Well, truth be told,'' Cuphead said, ``Me and Muggy here were just about to head down to the malt shop for a quick pick-me-up. Care to join us?''

``Sure, I'd love to!'' Red said.

``Oh yes, I could go for a malt.'' Blaze said.

``Wonderful,'' Mugman said, ``Then let's be on our way.''

With that the four friends headed on their way to the malt shop, and on the way there Cuphead said, ``Let me tell you guys, this is the best malt shop in all of Inkwell Isle.''

``Well, truth be told, it's the only one in Inkwell Isle.'' Mugman said.

Cuphead quickly covered his brother's mouth and said, ``Hush my brother, you're killing the mood.''

At this, Red said, ``Really?''

``Oh, take it from me,'' Cuphead said, ``I know the best.''

``Then let's go!'' Red said.

Soon enough, they arrived at the front of the malt shop.

``Here we have it, InkMalt, the best on the island.'' Cuphead said.

``Let's go inside, Blaze!'' Red said eagerly.

``Alrighty then.'' Blaze said and the four friends entered the malt shop together.

Once inside, Red said, ``Where do we sit, guys?''

``There is a spot that me and Muggy always sit at, over in this booth.'' Cuphead said.

``Okay, we'll join you there.'' Red said.

``Alright,'' Cuphead said, ``Did you want to come and order with us?''

Red turned to Blaze and said, ``Should we Blaze?''

``Of course.'' Blaze replied, ``I need to see what's available here to purchase myself.''

``Yeah, same with me.'' Red said.

``Okay then,'' Cuphead said, ``Let's go up and make our decisions.''

With that, Red and Blaze sat at the counter with Cuphead and Mugman, and a pig shouted, ``WELCOME!''

``So, what is there Blaze?'' Red asked.

``Hmmmm...'' Blaze said, looking at the menu, ``Ahh, I know. I shall take the Keylime Pie milkshake.''

``I shall take the lemon sorbet kind.'' Cuphead said.

``And I will have the blueberry cheesecake flavor.'' Mugman said.

``Me, I'll have the chocolate.'' Red said.

``Very well!'' said the pig, handing Red a number, ``I'll have them ready and brought to ya!''

``Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, I can't wait!'' Red said, excitedly.

``Alright then,'' Cuphead said, ``Back to our table, we must let the pig do his job.'' Cuphead then zipped over to the table like his Dodge attack, and Red, Blaze and Mugman walk over to the table where he is sitting.

``I just wanted to say, thanks for taking me here, guys.'' Red said.

``Of course, anything to get acquainted with a new friend.'' Cuphead said, and at this, Red just smiled.

``So then,'' Blaze said to Red, ``Can you tell me and the guys here about yourself?''

``Well, I've been living here in Inkwell Isle for a while, but I don't have any special powers like Cuphead and Mugman...''

``Really? That's no surprise.'' Cuphead said, ``Our grandfather the Elder Kettle gave us our shooting powers.''

``Really?'' Red asked.

``Of course.'' Cuphead said, ``If you ask me, he must've been a master shooter in his youth.''

``Well, he sounds like someone I'd like to meet.'' Red replied.

``Perhaps after our milkshakes, we can go back to our place and you both could meet him.'' Cuphead suggested.

``That sounds great, Cuphead!'' Red said.

Just then, the pig came over with a tray and said, ``Here are your milkshakes, fellas.''

``Thank you.'' Red said to the pig, and the pig went back to the counter, while Cuphead, Mugman, Red and Blaze all started to drink their milkshakes.

``Mmm-mm! My favorite!'' Cuphead said.

``Mmm, this is incredible!'' Red said.

``Yep, Pig makes the best.'' Cuphead said.

``Yes, I must concur.'' Blaze said.

After everyone drank their milkshakes, Cuphead and Mugman paid for everything and the four friends headed back towards the cottage where Cuphead and Mugman lived with Elder Kettle.

``Thanks for taking me to InkMalt guys,'' Red said, ``I had a wonderful time.''

``No problem.'' Cuphead said, ``It's always the one-stop place to make new friends.''

Red smiled, and then he said, ``So how long will it take us to get to your house, Cuphead?''

``We didn't go too far, let's get going.'' Cuphead said.

``Okay then, lead the way!'' Red said.

At that, they all started to head towards Cuphead and Mugman's house by following a light-colored dirt path, and before long, they arrived at Cuphead and Mugman's house.

``Gee, I hope your grandfather is home, Cuphead...'' Red said.

``Oh, he is.'' Cuphead said, ``He tends to be at home a lot.''

``Oh, I see.'' Red said, and then he knocked on the door, and a giant tea kettle with a mustache opened the door. At this, Red said, ``Hi, I'm Red. Red the Fox. You must be Cuphead and Mugman's grandfather. It's very nice to meet you.''

``Yes, I am.'' Elder Kettle said, ``I am Elder Kettle.''

``Before I get ahead of myself, this is Blaze Heart.'' Red said.

``Hello,'' Blaze said, ``I have come from afar to see this wonderful world of zaniness.''

``Pleasure to meet you.'' Elder Kettle said, shaking Blaze's paw.

``These are our new friends, Elder Kettle,'' Cuphead said, ``May they come in?''

``But of course,'' Elder Kettle said, ``Come on in while I prepare some tea for you and the guys.''

At that, Elder Kettle began to walk inside the house, with Red, Blaze, Cuphead and Mugman followed him, and while Elder Kettle went to the kitchen, Red, Blaze, Cuphead and Mugman went to the living room and sat down on their comfy chairs.

``You know, this is nice and soft guys.'' Red said.

``Oh yes, these chairs are great for sleeping in.''

Suddenly, without warning, a loud fart escaped from Red, and he said, ``Uh-oh...''

``Whoa, sounds like someone broke wind.'' Cuphead said.

At this, Red was very nervous, and as a result, his ears drooped as he motioned toward Blaze and said, ``Blaze...? There's something I gotta tell you...''

``What is it?'' Blaze asked, concerned, ``Are you okay?''

``No, it's - '' Red said before being cut off by another fart, ``I gotta go potty but I don't use the toilet...'' Then Red lowered his voice and said, ``I wear diapers, but I don't want Cuphead and Mugman finding out... can you please help me?''

``Sure, of course.'' Blaze said, ``Do you have any diapers on you?''

``Yes, I do.'' Red said, whispering, ``I'm wearing one right now.''

``Good.'' Blaze said, ``Do you have any spare diapers for me to change you into?''

``Yeah,'' Red said, ``They're in my diaper bag with my changing supplies and spare clothes.''

``Good.'' Blaze said, ``Now, where is your diaper bag?''

``Hang on,'' Red said, ``I'll find it.'' At this, Red searched through his hammerspace until he found his diaper bag and handed it over to Blaze and said, ``Here you go Blaze.''

``Excellent.'' Blaze said, ``Sooooo, did you want me to change your diaper in a private place?''

``Yes, please Blaze.'' Red replied, but as soon as he got out of his seat, Red's stomach started rumbling loudly as Blaze took him by the hand.

``Okay.'' Blaze said, and then turning to Elder Kettle he said, ``Red is going to the restroom and I'll be bringing him there.''

``Okay,'' said Elder Kettle, ``It's just down that way.'' With that, Red followed Blaze down the hall to the bathroom.

Along the way, Red said, ``Blaze? I'm sorry for the literal big stink I made back there...''

``Not sure why you have to be sorry,'' Blaze said, ``It's just a natural thing.''

``Oh, right, I knew that Blaze.'' Red said, but then his stomach gurgled, and he said, ``Ooooh... I don't know how long I can hold it!''

``Calm down, Red,'' Blaze said, reassuringly, ``We're almost to the bathroom.''

At this, Red took a deep breath and said, ``I'm sorry, Blaze, my stomach really hurts!''

``It will be okay, Red.'' Blaze said, ``I promise.''

``Thanks Blaze.'' Red said, ``I needed that.''

Soon enough, they arrived at the bathroom, but by the time they had gotten inside it, Red's stomach had had enough and as a result, Red started to pass gas until he filled his diaper, at which Red sighed in relief.

``There we go.'' Blaze said, nuzzling Red, ``All better.''

``I'm ready to be changed now.'' Red said, and then he took off his shorts and laid down on the bathroom floor.

``Okay.'' Blaze said as he began by opening and discarding Red's dirty diaper and wiping his dirty bottom.

``That feels good, Blaze.'' Red said.

Blaze smiled at Red as he threw Red's dirty diaper away and brought out the baby powder and started to cover his bottom with some.

``Blaze, I know I don't want Cuphead and Mugman to find out about me wearing diapers, but is there a way for me to cover up my diaper?''

``Aren't you wearing shorts to begin with?'' Blaze asked.

``Oh yeah...'' Red said.

At this Blaze snuggled Red, ``You feel any better?''

``Yeah, but I'd like to get my diaper and shorts back on so we can get back to Cuphead and Mugman.'' Red said, ``Hopefully, the tea Elder Kettle is making isn't done yet, otherwise I'd miss it.''

``It's not like he's gonna get rid of the tea if we don't show back up, so what's your rush?'' Blaze asked.

At this, Red sighed and said, ``I guess I shouldn't be in a hurry to get changed, should I Blaze?''

``Only if you really think we need to return to them now.'' Blaze said.

``Well, I'd like to finish getting changed first before we get to them if that's okay.''

``Of course.'' Blaze said, and once he was finished taping the diaper around Red's waist he said, ``There.''

After that, Red put his shorts back on, walked over to Blaze, hugged him and said, ``Thank you Blaze, I can't tell you how good it feels to be in a clean diaper!''

``Just like my cubs,'' Blaze said, ``They like clean diapers too.''

``You have other kids too?'' Red asked.

``Oh yes,'' Blaze said, ``Back in Care-A-Lot, I have many cubs that my beautiful wife and I take care of and raise together.''

``Do you think a Toon like me can visit there someday?'' Red asked.

``Anyone is allowed to visit Care-A-Lot.'' Blaze said.

``Oh, I see,'' Red said, ``But I don't think it would be very nice to just leave Cuphead and Mugman like that. Maybe we could set aside a day for you to take me?''

``Of course.'' Blaze said.

``Thanks, Blaze.'' Red said, ``I think I'm ready to go back to Cuphead and Mugman now.''

``Okay then.'' Blaze said, snuggling him and helping him to his feet.

After that, Red and Blaze leave the bathroom and come back to where Cuphead and Mugman are, and upon seeing them, Mugman asked, ``Is Red okay?''

``Oh yes, he is much better now.'' Blaze said, patting Red's head.

``Did we miss the tea, guys?'' Red asked.

``Not at all.'' Elder Kettle replied, ``It has just been finished. Do you like strawberry or raspberry tea?''

``Which one tastes better?'' Red asked.

``I prefer either one of them.'' Elder Kettle replied.

``I think I'll try the strawberry tea.'' Red said.

``Set this in your cup.'' Elder Kettle said, handing him a teabag labeled with a strawberry and a teacup.

``Thank you.'' Red said, accepting it and doing so.

``Now I shall pour the hot water into your cup.'' Elder Kettle said, and he slowly began to do so.

``Thank you, Elder Kettle.'' Red said.

``Raspberry for me please.'' Blaze said, and after Blaze opened the raspberry teabag and set it in his cup, and then Elder Kettle poured the water inside it.

``So, what brings you here to Inkwell Isle?'' Elder Kettle said, asking Blaze.

``Well, I guess when I heard all about it from some good friends of mine, I just felt the need to get out there and see it for myself. I mean, come on, an island composed of cartoon characters from an era gone by, of course I wanna see that.'' Blaze replied.

``As for you young Red,'' Elder Kettle said, ``I notice you kind of look like you're from around here, so what brings you to my humble abode?''

``Well,'' Red began, ``I was sitting on a sidewalk in Inkwell Isle until Blaze came along, I was sad because I had no friends, but now I have Blaze, Cuphead and Mugman. Also, I don't have any special abilities aside from standard Toon abilities.''

``Oooh, what kind of abilities would those be?'' Cuphead asked.

``Well, I can carry items in something called a hammerspace, and beyond that, I have no extra powers, aside from Toonspeeding. Do you think I could get some powers of my own?''

``I suppose that depends.'' Elder Kettle said, ``What are you searching for?''

``Well, something along the lines of what I can do. I'm a Toon fox.'' Red said, taking a sip of his tea, ``Mmm...''

``But if you have the powers, why ask for more of that power?'' Elder Kettle asked.

``Well, the one thing I can't do is fly actually...'' Red said.

``Might I ask why you want to fly?'' Elder Kettle said.

``Well, I think it would be fun to spin my tail around like a helicopter blade.''

``Spinning your tail to fly,'' Elder Kettle said, laughing with an elderly grunt, ``Reminds me of a squirrel who could do that.''

``Right, Conker the Squirrel.'' Red replied, ``But I'd also like to have the same finger-gun powers as your grandsons if that's okay.''

``Well, you do seem like a very responsible character.'' Elder Kettle said.

``Thank you, sir.'' Red replied.

``Well, I didn't say yes yet.'' Elder Kettle said, ``I need you to pass the Tutorial.''

``Oh right!'' Red said, ``I have to learn the same moves Cuphead and Mugman did, like dodging, ducking, parrying, and so on.''

``Exactly.'' Elder Kettle said, and then he pulled out a bottle of the ability, and said, ``Here, take this and go into this little drawing here.'' He then pointed to a white piece of paper with little objects drawn on it on the table.

``Blaze, Cuphead, Mugman, I'll be right back.'' Red said.

``We will be watching from right here.'' Cuphead said.

``Before I go in there, let me finish my tea first.'' Red then drank his tea and drank the potion and went inside the paper, then he said, ``Here I go!''

``Good luck.'' Elder Kettle said, waving to him.

``Knock `em dead!'' Cuphead said.

Red then followed the prompts on each tutorial step until he was all the way through the tutorial, and once he came back out, he said, ``I'm all finished! So how did I do?''

``Hmmmm, yes, yes indeed. I?d say that you have........PASSED!'' Elder Kettle said, giving him a thumbs-up.

``Thank you, Elder Kettle.'' Red said, ``Can I play with your grandsons now or do they have something else they want to do?''

``Not if they have other things to do.'' Elder Kettle said.

``Nope,'' Cuphead said, ``I'm free to play.''

``I as well.'' Mugman said.

``Great!'' Red said, ``What do you guys wanna play?''

``Well, I was thinking we could go to this carnival and-``

``Hold on, Cuphead,'' Mugman said, interrupting his brother, ``Let's at least ask Red what he ``would like to do first. He, oh and Blaze, are our guests after all.''

``Okay, I guess so.'' Cuphead said, huffing a bit.

``Actually, a carnival isn't such a bad idea. In fact, it seems like a good place for me to meet new people.'' And then, turning to Blaze, Red said, ``What about you Blaze? Would you like to go to the carnival?''

``Oh, if there's one thing you ought to know about me is that if a carnival is in town, I must have cheese curds.''

But then, taking a step back to stop and think Red said, ``Hold on a minute guys, if we all just met up this afternoon, we probably wouldn't have enough time to go to the carnival, would we? I mean, we'd probably need a full day to enjoy the carnival, wouldn't we?''

``Well, if it's like going to Disney World,'' Blaze said, ``Then yes, we would need a whole day to do most of the stuff there.''

Red then turned to Elder Kettle and said, ``Well, what's the carnival like Elder Kettle? Is it like Disney World or is it smaller than that?''

``Oh, well, it's certainly not like that fancy shmancy Disney World. Their company certainly has a lot more money than MDHR, but our carnival is certainly no slouch in the variety department.'' Elder Kettle said.

``So, do we need a day to enjoy it there or not?'' Red asked.

``You'd probably would.'' Elder Kettle replied.

``Okay then, we'll go another day.'' Red said, ``Sound good guys?''

``Fine by me.'' Blaze replied.

``Sure thing.'' Mugman replied.

``Okay, fine.'' Cuphead said with a huff.

``So, with that said, what does everyone want to do?'' Red said, ``We could play outside or play a board game in here. Do you have any board games, Cuphead?''

``Yeah, we do.'' Cuphead said, ``But I'd rather do something fun outside.''

``Okay, then,'' Red said, ``What do you want to do outside?''

``Oh, oh!'' Cuphead said, excitedly, and then running into the closet he came back with a butterfly net, and then he said, ``We could go and catch some insects!''

``Hmm, that sounds like fun, wouldn't you say so Blaze or would you like to hear more suggestions?''

``I don't mind looking for bugs.'' Blaze said.

At this Red sighed and said, ``I guess let's go bug-hunting!''

``Would you rather do something else?'' Blaze asked.

``No, no, it's fine Blaze.'' Red replied, but as Red was about to head towards the backyard, he felt a tingling sensation in his crotch area causing him to start moving around in a funny way while his legs were crossed and his hands were on his crotch area, and he exclaimed, ``Eeee!!!''

``Uhhh, you need to use the bathroom?'' Cuphead asked, Red had nodded yes, but he put out one of his hands to Blaze, signaling he wanted Blaze to take him to the bathroom, Blaze then took his hand and the two started heading to the bathroom.

``Blaze is such a good friend.'' Mugman said.

``Seems kind of odd for someone of Red's age to be brought to the bathroom.'' Cuphead said.

``What makes you say that Cup?'' Mugman asked.

``Well, he is an adult, isn't he?'' Cuphead asked.

``Well yeah,'' Mugman said, ``But maybe he might be hiding something he doesn't want us to know about Cup.''

``Well, that makes me even more curious.'' Cuphead said.

``But let's not bring it up right when he comes back, we don't want to upset him, do we?'' Mugman said.

``Well...no,'' Cuphead said, ``I don't like to upset others, even though I have a tendency to do it unintentionally.''

``Right, I know.'' Mugman said, ``But just try not to upset him, okay?''

``Alright, I'll try.'' Cuphead said.

``Good.'' Mugman said.

Meanwhile, with Red and Blaze, Red had just finished going in his diaper and had laid down so Blaze could start changing him.

``Blaze?'' Red said, ``I'm sorry about what happened back there, but I didn't want Cuphead and Mugman to see me wetting my diaper.''

``But you are wearing shorts to hide it.'' Blaze said.

At this, Red sighed and said, ``I know Blaze, but if I had used my diaper in front of them, Cuphead and Mugman would still smell it, which would then lead to them finding out about me wearing diapers, and I'm afraid of what they'd think! It's making me so nervous that I, I - '' Red was so stressed out from his nervousness that he had started crying uncontrollably.

At this, Blaze said, ``Sshhhhhh, its ok. just calm down and relax, everything will be fine.'' Then Blaze started to massage Red's shoulders.

Red then started to calm down, and he said, ``I'm sorry Blaze, but can you start changing me now?''

``Of course.'' Blaze said, and then he opened up Red's diaper and began to wipe him.

``Blaze?'' Red asked, ``Do you think it's wrong to keep secrets from others?''''

``Well, that's hard to say.'' Blaze said, ``I mean, it's one thing if it's something that you feel won't affect the people you like, it's another if it happens to be something that would otherwise hurt them in the long run.''

``Oh, I see, Blaze.'' Red said, ``Well, the reason I asked is because I've been having second thoughts about keeping my secret from Cuphead and Mugman.''

``You only do what you feel comfortable with doing.'' Blaze replied.

``Okay Blaze,'' Red said, ``But if I do end up having to reveal my secret to Cuphead and Mugman, will you promise to be there with me when I tell them about it?''

``Of course, I will.'' Blaze said, patting Red's head as he got a new diaper out for his bottom, and then, after powdering his private area, he opens up Red's diaper and tapes it up.

``Thanks Blaze.'' Red said, and then, after putting his shorts back on, Red and Blaze exit the bathroom and walked together down the hall to the living room where Cuphead and Mugman were waiting for them.

When they arrived there, Cuphead said, ``So, are you guys ready to hunt insects?''

``Oh, yeah, I'm ready.'' Blaze said, summoning a fire-heart shaped butterfly net, ``How about you, Red?''

``Just a minute!'' Red said, and then he searched through his hammerspace until he found his ``butterfly net, and he said, ``Aha! Here it is, got it!''

``Aaaalllllll-Righty then! let?s go gets some bugs!'' Cuphead said.

The group then ran outside, with Elder Kettle sitting down on his porch chair watching them, and after a while of hunting bugs, Red's stomach started to growl.

At this Blaze said, ``Something wrong, Red?''

Red nodded and said, ``I'm hungry Blaze...''

``Alright, let's go ask Elder Kettle what he has for food.'' Blaze said.

``Okay...'' Red said.

``Is Red alright?'' Mugman asked.

``He's hungry.'' Blaze replied, ``What does your grandfather have for food?''

``Oh, he has just about any food you can think of.'' Mugman said.

``But I think it's getting close to dinnertime anyway, right Mug?'' Cuphead said.

``Yeah Cuphead.'' Mugman said.

``Why don't we prepare a feast for our new friends, boys?'' Elder Kettle said.

``Yeah!'' Cuphead and Mugman said, and with that, Cuphead and Mugman went inside to help Elder Kettle make dinner.
