I drew pictures on paper that Benny gave me with the markers and added accents with the glitter glue Unikitty got me. Metal Beard let me use his cabin deck below and, for some reason, he has a white board. I used it to my advantage and put some pictures up there. I used the dry erase markers to write out my plan, complete with more pictures, and pasted pictures up on the wall next to the white board on either side.

After I was finished, I assembled everyone downstairs. "I call this, 'Emmet's Plan to Get Inside the Tower, Put the Thing on the Thing, and Save the World.'"

"That's a long name," Batman muttered. I ignored him and continued. I started with holding up instructions for an Octan ship. "We'll start by making one of these. I've had to build a hundred of them back in the city. If we build one of these, we can get in the tower. I know the construction of the air ducts and wiring, and where they're located. I can get us inside and anywhere in the tower."

"What kind of ship?" Vitruvius asked. Oh, yeah. I keep forgetting he's blind. He traverses so well! "Spaceship?" Benny exclaimed.

"Yes, a spaceship," I replied.

"A Bat-Spaceship," Batman said, pleased. "I like it."

"No," I said. "You see, they'll be expecting us to show up in a bat spaceship or a rainbow sparkle spaceship or a pirate spaceship."

"I only like one of those," Batman said.

"We have to build one of the spaceships that looks exactly like all the others," I said.

"That sounds boring!" Unikitty moaned.

"So...not this really cool spaceship I'm building for you guys right now?" Benny asked.

"Sorry, buddy," I said. "Maybe next time."

"You're really letting the oxygen out of my tank right now!" he moaned, sounding pained. He kicked it and broke it. "Sorry, benny," I apologized again.

"Why do you have the instructions for that?" Wyldstyle asked.

"We had to make loads of these," I repeated.

"Don't you remember how to build it?" Unikitty asked.

"No," I admitted.

"Oh," Unikitty said.

I walked around and handed out instructions to each of them, including Vitruvius. He seemed to have no problem with it. The group flipped through it. "According to your precious instructions," Batman said, angrily, "your ship needs a hyperdrive. Where are we going to get one of those? It's not like a ship with a hyperdrive is just gonna appear out of-"

A large spaceship teleported out of nowhere, just like with Metal Beard's ship. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" Batman yelled, falling over, as he was standing on the roof. "THE SAME THING?"

The cockpit of the ship opened and a guy came out. "Chewie, we're supposed to be halfway to Naboo by now! This hyperdrive keeps messing up and taking us to loser systems like this!" Metal Beard was obviously offended by this but he said nothing. We walked upstairs to the top of the deck.

A furry creature came out, the same height at the guy, and growled. A robot popped out from under the cockpit. "Captain Solo, we must hurry. If we do not arrive punctually, we will be in trouble."

"He's right," Captain Solo said.

"Hold on there, Han," another guy said, popping out where the furry thing is and Captain Solo. "This might be the right galaxy. I see a heavenly body."

"Ooh, woah. Hold up," Wyldstyle said. "I already have a boyfriend. And he's pretty serious, right babe?"

"It is serious," Batman said. He hesitated for a moment. "Got room for one more dude on that ship?"

"Woah, babe!" Wyldstyle said.

"If he's a cool dude like you," the guy replied.

"Are you trying to bail on us?" Wyldstyle asked.

"I'm not trying to bail!" Batman replied.

"You asked if you could join them on their party ship!" Wyldstyle cried.

"Look, babe," Batman said, "if this relationship is going to work, I can be free to party with a bunch of random strangers if I feel like it."

"Babe," Wyldstyle said.

Batman used his grappling hook and pulled himself up to their ship. "I'll text you, babe," he said. The cockpit closed and the ship flew off really fast. Wyldstyle turned around. She was hoping that I wouldn't notice but if my friend is crying, then I have to help!

I walked closer to her. "Wyldstyle...you're such an amazing person. And...if Batman can't see that, then he's just...he's just as blind as man who's eyes sssstopped working." She turned around and smiled a little at me. "And I'll tell you what," I leaned in closer a little, "Batman is, by far, the worst person I've ever met."

"Need a hyperdrive?" Batman suddenly asked behind us.

I flinched, and turned around. "No way!"

"Babe!" Wyldstyle cheered. I coolly leaned on the bar nearby. "I knew that! I knew that!" I lied.

"You had me there!" Wyldstyle said.

"Those guys were lame," Batman said. "They only played space checkers. The hairy one's a dude, and so's the robot. Turns out...they're all dudes.

"Won't they notice they're hyperdrive is missing?" Benny asked.

"Nah," Batman said. "They'll be fine."

"Okay, Emmet," Vitruvius said. "We're ready when you are."

"Great!" I exclaimed. "Let's get those pieces and start following the instructions!"

"And, well...if Batman can't see that, then, he's just as blind as a man who's eyes sssssstop working," Emmet said, stuttering a little.
