This is the last chapter. :( But don't worry! I'm working on another story!
Mail Room, Master Builders Offices. 9:46 AM. November 20.
"Oh no. No, no, no, no. I don't do interviews." Lucy held the paper in her hand. A major magazine had just asked her to do a "short interview about the Master Builder's family life, love life, and work life".
"Oh, come on, Lucy," Emmett said. "Will you at least do it for me?" He made the puppy dog eyes. Lucy rolled her eyes.
"Fine." She started writing out a reply, realizing that she would do anything for Emmett.
Interview Room, Stud Magazine Corporation. 3:17 PM. November 26.
"Have a seat." The perky assistant gestured at the small chair. "Your interviewer will be here in just a second, miss." Lucy stared at the assistant, who was wearing a designer pantsuit.
"Um.. okay, I guess." She sat down, feeling underdressed in her normal black jeans and hoodie. Should I have worn something more formal? The only dress I have is the Old West one... her thoughts were interrupted as a man in a suit came in the door.
"Wyldstyle! It's very nice to meet you!" He greeted her.
"Um, I go by Lucy now." Lucy said as she pushed back her bangs, regretting she had ever changed her name.
"Oh, is that so?" the interviewer didn't seem to be listening as he seated himself. "Alright! Let's get started! By the way, my name's Mr. Brick." Lucy wanted to roll her eyes, since that was the most generic name you could get. "So, you're a Master Builder! What's it like working with all of the other Master Builders?" Lucy smiled. This was an easy question. Hopefully all the others are like this one. "Well, it's definitely a lot of fun. We're like a big happy family. It feels like the best job in the world. You know, before the Kragle incident last summer, we couldn't even interact with each other without getting into trouble. We couldn't use the talent that made us special!" Mr. Brick nodded. Lucy really hoped the request to not ask about her family life had gotten through.
"I hear you are dating one of the most important people in the universe." Lucy blushed. "How'd you two meet?" It was almost the exact question Emmett had asked when she announced Batman was her boyfriend.
"Well, we met when I was looking for the Piece of Resistance. There was a prophecy that whoever found the Piece of Resistance was "the Special". However, we later learned from Vitruvius that the prophecy was made up." Lucy explained all they had been through together. "You know, watching someone die like that, jumping into the abyss, for you, you feel something for them. It's like you think, they care for me that much?. I don't know about you, but not many people have cared for me like that." Lucy was still blushing. "And when you see them come back, you realize you will never take them for granted again." After about an hour, Lucy was free to leave. As she exited, she came face-to-face with Emmett.
"I- I didn't know you felt like that." His face looked like a tomato. She could feel hers starting to redden as well.
"I didn't know you were listening." They both awkwardly stared at their feet. Emmett finally broke the silence.
"I- I love you." Lucy stared at him.
"I love you too." They hugged. Lucy felt something that she hadn't felt in a long time. It was love.
This magic moment,
so different and so new..
Yay for the Drifters! Thank you for reading!
