Author's Note

Sorry for the short chapter! This is kind of a test chapter and the prologue. I thought it'd be fun to give a go at Emmet's POV,
since his thoughts are hilarious and all, so I hope this comes well!

Hi, there! My name is Emmet Brickowski! But, everyone just calls me Emmet! I'm just like everyone else here in Bricksburg, small, follows instructions, a job that I like, but, this is a different kind of story. Well, maybe not, depending on how many movies you watch, but I like to think so. This is the story of how I went from a nobody, to a somebody, how I met my true love, put the thing on the thing, and saved the world. But, let's start from the beginning.

Let me introduce myself properly first. I'm not that lady walking with her cats, that's Mrs. Scratchenpost. And, I'm not that surfer guy, as cool as it would be. I'm a construction worker. Not the guy who likes giant sausages, although I do like them. Nope. I'm the guy in the back, the one no one listens to.

But, I don't care. I'm with my friends, having a great time! I live in Bricksburg, along with all my co-workers, friends, and anyone else. Bricksburg was made a long time ago by President Business' great grandparents...or something. At least, that's what he says. Lord Business is the man in charge of everything. He runs this business named Octan, which make great things! He also makes these instruction manuals. I know what you might be thinking, 'Instruction manuals? Isn't that weird?' Well, everyone doesn't notice, or care. But, I've heard rumors that the people who did get suspicious of the instruction manuals disappeared, without a trace, but those are rumors so who could ever be right? I mean, come on! President Business is a nice guy!

Anyway, Bricksburg is about three times as far as the eye can see, so it's pretty big. And finally, I live in an apartment building. It's not much, but it's good for me! I live with Planty, my plant, which I bought with my first paycheck as a construction worker.

But, enough about me! I'm going to start from the beginning of this story, from the very first day. Not the first day of my life, but the first day when I became 'The Special.'
