Emmet woke with a start at the sound of his alarm clock. It was 6 in the morning. Today he was going to go with Business to a few interviews because during the Duplo war Abraham Lincoln was elected president and Business' company ran out of… well… business. And for some Business thought it was a good idea to have a construction worker help out an entire company by finding new business. Emmet groaned and fell back onto his pillow.

"Babe" Lucy groaned as she nudged him

"Hmm"

"Wake up." She said with her eyes still closed.

"I don't want to."

"But you have to," She paused to yawn; "You need to go do business stuff…" she trailed off and started to quietly snore.

"Ughhh." He got out of bed and stretched, spinning his arms in circles and then stood up strait. He hopped in the shower, shaved his face, combed his hair, brushed his teeth, ate breakfast, sat at his table and drank his coffee in peace. Or so he thought.

"Emmet!"

"AH!" Emmet jumped in his chair at the sound of Business' excited yell causing Emmet's coffee cup to go flying into the wall. He looked around frantically and saw Business who was sitting on the bottom level of his double decker couch holding a briefcase.

"Business! What the heck?! How did you get in my apartment?" Emmet yelled

"My company sold you your apartment I have your key." Business said holding up the shiny tiny key.

Emmet sighed. "Ugh. Just stay here while I go get my jacket and we'll go." He got up, cleaned up the coffee mess, went into his room, and got his jacket that hung in the closet and started slipping it on over his dress shirt.

"You got a trophy for trying? That's adorable!" Business exclaimed pointing out the trophy that was in the hallway leading to the rest of his apartment.

Emmet looked over at Lucy who stirred slightly and glared in the direction of business. "Shh! Business!" Emmet hissed in a whisper

"What?" He whispered in return

Business peered around the corner and Emmet pointed at Lucy who was sleeping in the bed.

"Oh sorry!" he whispered. Emmet rolled his eyes and walked over to Lucy and kissed her on the forehead.

"Bye Emmet *yawn* have a good day…" She said tiredly

He smiled "I hope I'll be back by tonight… but then again I'm with Business, so this could take days. So… I'll maybe, hopefully be back sometime this week. "

"Okay…" She said before rolling over.

He and Business made their ways out of the apartment building and to their first location- The Construction Site. They stood by Frank the Foreman as they watched the demolition of abandoned apartments buildings, offices, and other things that were partially destroyed during the Duplo war. Business told Frank he would think about it and they moved on. They went to florists, transportation centers, met with people that tried to sell off some weird inventions. They were in the Octan meeting room for half of the entire day. By about 5 pm Emmet couldn't sit in a chair any longer. He hopped up but sadly immediately fell to the ground from lack of standing.

"Have you at least made something close to a decision? " Emmet asked as he pushed himself up.

"Not even close." Business said with despair as he let his head hit the table.

"Emmet!"

He looked up to see Benny cheerfully floating over to him.

Emmet stood up and cracked his back. "Benny what are you doing here?"

"I heard from Lucy that you and Business were here and I got you guys some food." He said holding out the bag.

"Aww thanks Benny." Emmet said gratefully taking the food. He looked back at Benny who was just floating there. "Benny, don't you have a launch tonight?"

"Yea. WANNA COME BY AND WATCH?!" Benny asked excitedly

"That's what I was just gonna ask." Emmet said as he walked over to an intercom. "Cancel all meetings for the rest of the day." He said taking a hand off the button. "Benny, take us to the space station."

"Emmet what are you doing?" Business asked. Emmet opened the door leading out and motioned for him to follow as Benny led the way out.

As they piled into Benny's mini-spaceship cruiser Business looked around at the controls that blinked all types of colors on the dashboard and on the ceiling. Emmet sat in front of him and Benny was in the front of course! He flicked a bunch of switches and took his helmet off revealing his messy spiky blond crew cut.

"I never knew you had blonde hair." Emmet said

"My helmet got really stinky so I needed a little break. " Benny said putting it down on the floor.

He flicked one more switch and they heard the engine start. The Spacecraft started to hover and float upward before blasting off in the direction of the space center.

They blew past buildings, flew over cars and people as they all waved at the zooming spacecraft. Benny would wave back flashing his huge crazy smile before turning back to pilot.

"You must really love your job Ben." Business said as he studied the spaceman's movements.

"I do! But lately, the space program hasn't been doing so well. During the Duplo war we were just piling up with debt and well, the cost wasn't very pretty."

Emmet and Business shared a sad look. After a few minutes of flying they made it to the edge of Bricksburg where the Space Station was located. Benny parked the cruiser in a blue parking spot. Beside it there were yellow, white, red, and black parking spots.

"So those must be the other spacemen's parking spots." Emmet said

"Yep. Red and White are my brothers. The White one's Lenny, and the Red one's Kenny. "

The three got out of the cruiser and entered the building. Emmet and Business were immediately stunned at the sight of retired space ships that hung from the ceiling. Benny flicked on the lights and floated up to the space ships, there was a cluster of tiny cruisers hanging at the top. Their colors matched the colors of the parking spaces outside.

"Wakey wakey guys." Benny said zooming in and out of each of them.

"This is very impressive Benny." Business said

"Thank you!" Benny said gratefully "Every single one of these space crafts have been in space and every one has a story to tell."

"Wow.." Emmet said taking it all in.

Soon five different colored spacemen stood in front of Emmet and Business. Lenny and Kenny introduced themselves, the yellow one was named Kyle and the black one was named Michael.

"Attention!" Benny called. The astronauts stood strait at attention.

"Whoa! Benny you're the commander?" Emmet asked with a curious smile.

Benny nodded happily with his crazy smile and then went back to being serious.

"Do you guys sleep… in your cruisers?"

Kyle stepped forward. "Well, because the Space Program hasn't been doing so well we had to sell our apartments in order to keep it going."

"So that's why you sleep in your cruisers." Emmet reasoned

"I'm sorry to hear that." Business said. He was impressed. He now realized that the Space Program was a seriously rejected project that needed help. Plus, it's a new opportunity to try new things, he doesn't really know that much about spaceships and it looks really interesting.

"I heard you guys had a launch tonight. We'd love to stick around to see it." Business said with a smile

"Really?" The five asked with disbelief and hope. Emmet widened his eyes with excitement.

"Sure!"

"Yes!" Exclaimed the five including a very excided Emmet and Benny.

"Alright lets get to work!" Benny yelled as he zoomed into mission control followed by the four.

"Do you think this is what you want Octan to start funding?" Emmet asked

"Yea. Everybody else we saw today didn't have a shot but these guys, they're a family. They just wanna do what they love."

"Wow Business," Emmet started "that's the most mature thing I've ever heard you say-"

"Eww! Look! This is what they used as a bathroom in space!" Business hollered as Emmet shook his head and sighed.

"And the moment is dead."

After an hour of prepping the space team the five astronauts made their way to the spaceship. Smoke came from the bottom of the gigantic spacecraft.

The five astronauts started a sound off.

"S1; clear"

"S2; clear"

"S3; SPACESHIP!"

"S4; clear"

"S5; clear"

"Ready when you are Houston!" Benny said cheerfully

The man sitting in front of Emmet and Business slouched and grunted, "…my name is Steve..." he grumbled as he flicked a switch. The countdown started and when it ended fire erupted from the bottom of the rocket shooting them into the sky. You could hear Benny's whoops of joy through the radio. You could feel the rumbling in the building as it shot higher into the sky and made its way into space.

"This is amazing!" Business exclaimed as he watched the footage of the rocket on the huge screen.

"Made up your mind yet?" Emmet asked

"Where's your boss?" Business asked the man standing in the door.

They were sat in front of a desk with a very hopeless looking man sitting behind it. He had a 5 'o' clock shadow, wore a shirt with the spaceship logo on the shirt pocket and had a desk covered in bills.

He stood up as the two entered his office. "Mr. Business, Mr. Brickowski, what can I do for you two gentlemen today?"

"Mr. Sawyer, I would like to buy the Space Program and take it under my wing." Business said

His face lit up at the words. "Really? Why?"

"Mr. Sawyer, judging by what I've seen today, the Space Program is a very neglected project. If I buy your company I'm going to get the astronauts their own homes, increase the number of trips they take per capita, and all of these…" Business started motioning to all the bills on the desk, "go away."

"You'll be in good hands." Emmet summed up with a smile.

"You're sure about this?" Mr. Sawyer asked looking between the two.

"Do we have a deal?" Business asked holding his hand out.

Mr. Sawyer beamed and gladly shook his hand vigorously. "You gotta deal!" eventually the handshake turned into a hug initiated by Mr. Sawyer. Then Emmet joined in because this meant he could finally go home. They went to mission control and told everyone the news, then the astronauts who were beyond happy. They heard the clacking together of pieces through the speaker.

"Wait Benny! Where are you going?" Kenny yelled. We heard a rocket that slowly faded away.

The three men heard footsteps coming from the hallway behind and all of a sudden Benny came running into mission control and ran into Business, grabbing him in a hug and spinning him around.

"You saved our jobs!" Benny yelled before he ran back to his spaceship. "Sorry about that." We heard through the speakers.

After the two said their goodbyes to Mr. Sawyer Emmet hauled a taxi and went back to the apartment. He. Was. Exhausted. He opened the door to Lucy sitting on the couch watching TV with UniKitty.

"Hi Emmet!"

"Hey babe!"

Emmet waved tiredly and threw his jacket over the back of a chair, walked into his room and flopped on his bed. "I'm never doing business again!" he groaned

He heard the toilet flush. "Babe are you in the bathroom?" He called lifting his head to look at the bathroom door.

"Nope!"

The door opened and Business came out wiping his hands on his pants. Emmet gave him an annoyed look.

"Get out of my apartment right now."
