A few years later
The creatures from planet Duplo kept on coming. Every time the citizens tried to rebuild their city, the creatures just beat them back down. Some of the Master Builders including Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern volunteered to follow the aliens to their own planet to try and stop them from coming back, but they never returned.
Bricksburg was renamed Apocalypseburg which was a fitting name for the city now. The skyscrapers and other buildings were now abandoned and broken down, the streets were now sandy paths, and the people had changed greatly.
They wore dark colored clothes, carried weapons all the time, fought constantly, and did things like get tattoos, arm wrestled, and broke things. Everyone had toughened up, that is everyone except for Evangeline.
She still listened to her favorite song "Everything is Awesome", she greeted her friends and neighbors, and had a positive attitude despite the world coming apart at the seams. To her she thought there was nothing wrong with her attitude, but her friends thought otherwise.
They thought she was being too soft, and wouldn't last in their new lifestyle in case of a more severe alien attack.
One morning, Evangeline went into town to pick up some treats for herself and her friends. "There's nothing like a baked treat to lift one's spirits." she said to herself, as she walked down the chaos ridden sidewalk.
She walked into a bakery, where many people were fighting over goods, and arm wrestling. Evangeline just waited her turn in line, and then when she got to the front she placed her order.
"I'd like four glazed donuts, two chocolate chip cookies, a chocolate cupcake, two brownies, and two cups of coffee." she said to the worker.
The workers put the baked goods in a box, the coffee in two coffee cups, and put them in two separate bags. After paying, Evangeline left the bakery, and before continuing she put on her headphones and listened to "Everything is Awesome".
The beat filled her with joy, as she walked down the street, her long brown hair swaying as she did. First she stopped by Batgirl's work place. She was in charge of the shelter where everyone would evacuate to when they were attacked.
She was currently talking with Scribble Cop (whose name was originally Good/Bad Cop). "Good morning, Batgirl, hello Scribble Cop." Evangeline greeted, as she walked up to them.
"Oh, hi Evangeline." said Batgirl.
"Hello." said Scribble Cop.
"I brought you guys some glazed donuts." she said, opening the box of treats.
"Oh, thanks." said Batgirl, as she and Scribble Cop took the donuts.
"So how're things going?"
"Fine, so far there's no sign of any aliens." said Batgirl.
"You know maybe they're finished attacking us." Evangeline suggested. Batgirl rolled her eyes.
"Evangeline, they've been attacking us everyday for the last few years. They're going to attack again." she told her.
"Well you never know. See you later." said Evangeline, as she left.
Batgirl just sighed. Her next was the metal shop, where Betty and Fluffytail were building armor and weapons.
"Hi, Betty, Fluffytail." she said.
"Hey, Evangeline." the two said.
"I was at the bakery, and I picked up these chocolate chip cookies."
"Thanks. We were starting to get hungry." said Betty.
"Yeah, this building armor and weapons, be hard work." added Fluffytail.
"Have you guys ever thought about taking a day off once in a while?" asked Evangeline.
"A day off, what for?" asked Fluffytail.
"You know to enjoy the day, have fun, relax." Evangeline explained.
"(Sighs), Evangeline times are different now. We can't just goof off all day." said Betty.
"Aye, the time for fun be done." agreed Fluffytail.
"Well just because things are different doesn't mean we can't still be happy. I gotta go now, see you later." said Evangeline. Her next stop was to see Unitiger.
He now trained young people how to fight and defend themselves. "All right remember face paint is a good way to show our rebellion, so everyone get some paint and look terrifying." he instructed some kids.
As the kids put on the face paint, Evangeline walked in. "Hey, Unitiger." she said.
"Oh, hey, Evangeline." said Unitiger.
"I brought you a chocolate cupcake."
"Gee thanks." said Unitiger, taking the cupcake.
"So you guys doing face painting?" she asked.
"We're not face painting, we're practicing showing our fierceness." Unitger corrected.
"Well you could try and have some fun with the paint while you're at it." Evangeline suggested.
"Evangeline, you have to understand, we need to show we're not soft and weak, maybe you should try some face paint." said Unitiger.
"No thanks, I gotta go find Lucas. See you later." said Evangeline, leaving.
Avoiding the fighting, and master building her way around the chaos, she found Lucas standing on top a collapsed skyscraper. He looked out on the now baron land, and thought dark thoughts of the future.
"Hi, Lucas." said Evangeline cheerfully.
"Oh, hey Evangeline." he said back.
"I brought us some coffee and brownies."
"Thanks." said Lucas, taking a cup and a brownie.
"So what are you up to?" she asked.
"Just brooding, thinking about the future." Lucas explained.
"You know that's a coincidence, I've been thinking about the future too. You want to know what I see in it?" said Evangeline.
"What?" asked Lucas, finishing his brownie.
She gave him a pair of binoculars, and pointed him in the right direction. Through the binoculars, he saw a little yellow house with a blue roof.
"A house?" asked Lucas confused.
"Not just a house, our house. Come on I'll show you around." said Evangeline, grabbing his arm, and hurrying him to the house.
"A nice yet simple two-story house, we have the living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom, guest bedrooms, bathroom, and out back we have a double decker porch swing, so we can look out at the sunset together. I even made this pillow for us." said Evangeline, showing him a pillow that read "E+L 4 eva".
"So what you think?"
Lucas was at a loss for words. "Uh, it's great and really sweet. But it's going to attract the aliens." said Lucas.
"Well it could not. I'm just trying to make it so things could be the way they used to be or probably better." Evangeline told them.
"Look, Evangeline. Times are different now, and I'm worried about you, and so are the others." Lucas said.
"What do you mean?" asked Evangeline.
"Well...your happy, optimistic personality it makes you vulnerable in this environment, and you could get hurt. So do you think you could try and toughen up?" Lucas asked her.
"Oh, sure I can." said Evangeline quietly.
"Believe me, it's for the best. Hey what's that?" said Lucas.
