"Hey babe," Lucy greeted.

"Hey," Emmet greeted. They walked up towards each other and Emmet gave Lucy a quick peck on the lips.

"How's your morning been going," Emmet asked.

"Good," Lucy replied, "How's yours been going?"

"Pretty good," Emmet answered.

"Here," Lucy stated, "I got you a coffee." She then handed one of the coffee cups to Emmet.

"Thanks," Emmet thanked, "I really insist that I pay you back for all of these coffees that you're buying me."

"You don't have to do that," Lucy sweetly replied, "You already buy a $200 dinner every week. I'm alright buying two $39 coffees in the morning."

"You're too good for me," Emmet dreamily replied.

"Maybe," Lucy stated, "But, even if you were, I wouldn't care less. You're too cute."

"OK," Emmet mentally prepped himself, "You can do this. Ask her now."

"Hey Lucy," Emmet said out loud.

"Yes Emmet," Lucy asked.

"Did you see the new episode of COPS last night," Emmet asked.

"Damn it," Emmet mentally cursed himself.

"I did," Lucy answered, "Those cops were really brave. Standing up to that crazy lady with the shovel beating the cat to death."

"Brave you say," Emmet asked.

"Yeah," Lucy replied, "They were brave."

Just then, Emmet noticed something and looked over at the building across the street.

"What's wrong babe," Lucy asked.

"I smell gas," Emmet announced, "That building is about to explode."

Then, immediately after saying that, Emmet ran across the street into the building across the street. It was a two floor apartment complex. Several seconds after Emmet ran into the building, the residents ran out, several of them carrying their possessions, such as cats, plants, or, in one man's case, his wife. Among the residents escaping the building was Emmet, holding a kitten in his arms.

"Everybody get out," Emmet yelled. As he yelled that, all the residents got safely and the building exploded.

Right after the explosion, Lucy ran across the street to Emmet.

"Wow," Lucy sighed, "That was really brave. You are the most talented, most interesting, and most extraordinary person in the universe and definitely the kind of guy I would love to move in with."

"You don't say," Emmet said, "Do you wanna make love?"

"Of course," Lucy moaned. Then, Emmet threw the kitten so it landed in another man's throat and Emmet and Lucy started passionately making out.

"Hey," Lucy stated.

Emmet then snapped out of it. He was dreaming. The entire building rescue never happened.

"Emmet," Lucy stated, "You OK? You zoned out again."

"Yeah," Emmet apologized, "Sorry."

"It's fine," Lucy reassured, "At least it's starting to happen less and less. But, it seems to happen more when something's on your mind. Is something on your mind? You can tell me, babe."

"No," Emmet replied, "I'm fine. It's not important."

"Hey buddy," Stan the customer service guy yelled, "Dude, we were talking!"

"What was that," Lucy asked.

"Oh," Emmet embarrassingly answered, "My phone. Sorry. I forgot that I was talking to a customer service representative."

Emmet then placed the phone he forgot he was holding in the hand he wasn't holding a coffee cup in to his head.

"Yeah," Emmet stated, "I'm going to have to call you back." Emmet then hung up on Stan the customer service guy.

"Who was that," Lucy asked.

"Oh," Emmet answered, "Just customer service to my email. It's not important. We should probably get to Cloud Cuckooland."

"Alright," Lucy replied. While it seemed that she dropped Emmet's weird behavior, she kept it in the back of her mind that Emmet probably had something going on in his brain.

"Hey," Lucy told Emmet, "I got you a special surprise for your birthday."

"Oh," Emmet asked with intrigue, "What is it?"

"I'll give it to you later," Lucy cutely stated, "But, I'll give you something small to hold you over until then." Lucy then gave Emmet a five second kiss on the lips, which Emmet happily returned.

"So," Emmet joked, "Every time you kiss me, you consider that a gift?"

"Hey," Lucy joked, "Are you aware of how well you kiss? I definitely consider each kiss a gift."

Emmet and Lucy then chuckled, both aware of the joking on the side of their romantic partner. Then, Emmet and Lucy went on their way towards Cloud Cuckooland.
