Here's part 3 and the final part! This one features the characters thirteen years later along with some new ones.

By the way, a few sentences in the story will have a little number that looks like this: (1) next to it. If it does, it means something will be explained at the very end of the chapter.

Also, Batman is in here for a bit, so I'm sorry if he's at all OOC. This is my first time writing his character.

Kid #1: Does this mean we can finally come out?

Me: Be my guests!

Kid #2: About time!

I still don't own The Lego Movie, but man do I wish I did!

It was a sunny evening in Bricksburg. For most, it was an evening to kick back and relax, but for a certain group, it was an evening to celebrate. Today was the thirteenth anniversary of TAKOS Tuesday, which everyone now called Freedom Friday, due to Lucy's broadcast all that time ago. Today it ironically did end up falling on a Friday.

Emmet Brickowski sat on a park bench, looking up at the beautiful sunset. His wife, Lucy was next to him, watching kids play on the playground directly across from where they were sitting. So far, they were the only ones from their group at the park. The rest of their friends- who, as the years had gone by became more like their extended family- hadn't shown up yet. They all gathered somewhere in the world every year to celebrate Freedom Friday.

"Daddy!" the joyful shriek broke through Emmet's thoughts. He smiled at the source of the voice. A five year old little girl ran towards him, her long, brown, slightly curled hair flying all over her face. He stood up as the child flew into his arms. He spun her around in the air, and stole a quick glance at Lucy, who had an adoring smile on her face.

"What is it, Sunset?" Emmet asked his youngest daughter, pushing her hair out of her face.

"Push me on the swings! Push me on the swings!" she cried, bouncing up and down.

Emmet chuckled at Sunset's energy. She had a lot in common with Unikitty. He looked back at Lucy who nodded and stood up.

"Go ahead. I'll check on V.T. and Jack." she said, and walked in the direction of a seven year old girl who was crouching behind the bushes with a toy gun. If you looked closely, a ten year old boy was hiding behind a nearby tree with a similar toy gun in his hands.

Emmet looked back at Sunset, who was dragging him towards the swings. "Why aren't you playing with your siblings?" he asked.

Sunset's smile fell slightly. "They're playing something called 'The Hunger Games.' I didn't wanna play with guns and I'm not hungry yet."

Emmet chuckled again. "They're just toys, sweetie." He replied, ignoring the comment about her hunger. His daughter ignored him and continued to drag him to the swing set.

When the two finally made it, Emmet helped Sunset onto the swing and gently pushed her. As she kept pestering him to go higher, Emmet kept taking glances at his other two children, Vitruvius (1) - who had been nicknamed V.T. by his oldest younger sister when she was a baby, (though she had said Veetee) due to not being able to pronounce his name properly (it had just stuck with him) - and Jacqueline (who had been nicknamed Jack both for short and because she was a tomboy,) as they chased each other. The chasing finally stopped when Jacqueline "stabbed" Vitruvius with a stick- which Emmet could only assume was being used as a sword- and he spun around once, swayed for a moment, and finally overdramatically fell to the ground. The ten year old stuck his tongue out and closed his eyes once he reached the grass beneath him, making his younger sister crack up. One of Vitruvius's specialties was making others laugh, especially his younger sisters.

Sunset too began to laugh at her brother's antics. She quickly told her father to stop the swing. Before he had completely fulfilled her wish, she jumped off the swing, falling to her hands and knees. Emmet grew nervous, but he hadn't taken a single step towards her when she got right back up and ran towards her siblings and mother, who had just reached Vitruvius and Jacqueline. Emmet sighed happily and walked towards his family.

He remembered the day he and Lucy were married like it was yesterday. It had been one of the happiest days of his life. The others had been the days when his three children were born. They had been together for almost a year and a half when Emmet had finally popped the question. Lucy had agreed without any hesitation (and even a few joyful tears in her eyes.) V.T. had come along about two and a half years after they were married. He had been given his mother's black hair and a face that was a spitting image of his father's, except for his eyes, which were also his mother's. Jacqueline had come along about three years later followed by Sunset after another two. Both had gotten their father's brown hair- except Sunset's was about waist-length and Jacqueline's was about two inches longer than a pixie cut- but Jacqueline had a face exactly like her mother's. While Sunset did have a face more like her father's she also had her mother's freckles.

Emmet walked over to his family, laughing as his daughters tackled their brother- who was laughing like crazy. When the girls saw their father and mother finally reach them, they released the still laughing V.T. from their grasp.

"When's everybody gonna get here mom?" Jack asked as her mother wiped what dirt she could off of her white pants and mint green jacket.

"They'll be here anytime, honey." Lucy replied. Vitruvius got up from the ground and shook the grass clippings and dirt from his hair.

"Can we ride in Uncle Benny's spaceship again?" he asked. His sisters looked at their parents with pleading eyes.

Emmet and Lucy looked at each other. Emmet shrugged. "If it's ok with him, it's ok with us." he said.

The kids cheered. "We'll have to see if Helena can come too." Jacqueline said. Emmet and Lucy smiled. Jacqueline was always one to make sure no one was left out, unless it was what they them-self desired. She was kind and had a huge heart for the forgotten ones of the world. However, like her mother, when needed she could kick some serious butt. The same went for Vitruvius. Sunset on the other hand, wasn't one for violence.

"I hope Uncle Batman gets here soon!"

As if on cue, the Batmobile pulled into the park's parking lot. V.T., Jack and Sunset ran to the car as soon as Batman stepped out. As the caped crusader greeted the kids, two other people got out of the Batmobile. The trio smiled and ran to one individual in particular. As she greeted them, Emmet's mind flashed back to a certain day about eleven and a half years before.

-Flashback-

Emmet and his group of friends sat in Benny's living room watching Guardians of the Galaxy. He sat on a couch with a bowl of popcorn in his lap, a blanket covering him, and a happy Lucy curled up in his embrace. Benny floated nearby, wide eyes glued to the television screen. He was definitely the most interested out of all of them in the movie. Unikitty was curled up on a nearby chair, Metalbeard sat on the floor and Ghost Vitruvius (who could only visit them occasionally) was floating on the other side of the couch. Batman was sitting in another chair with his head resting in his arm. He didn't seem too interested in the movie.

Though the movie was pretty awesome- and Star Lord was definitely his favorite character- Emmet's mind wasn't really on the movie. It was more on the little black box sitting on his desk back at his apartment. Soon enough he would give it to Lucy, but when was the best time?

About then, Batman's phone buzzed. He immediately looked at it and smiled. After looking at his phone for a minute, he jumped up from his chair and started walking towards the door.

"Batman, where are you going?" Benny asked, actually pulling his eyes away from the screen for once.

Batman paused, suddenly remembering that his friends were still there. "Umm, I have to go… stop a bank robbery! I'll see you guys later." With that, he ran out without giving anyone else a chance to speak.

"Well, ok." Benny said, looking back towards the movie. Everyone else but Lucy did the same.

"Wait, guys." Lucy said, reluctantly pulling away from Emmet. She got up, grabbed the remote and paused the movie. Everyone looked at her.

"What are you doing?! It was just getting to the best part!" Benny whined.

"Sorry Benny, but does anyone else notice that there's something strange going on with Batman?"

"What do you mean?" Emmet asked his girlfriend as she sat back down next to him.

"He's been leaving early a lot lately and he isn't available as often as he used to be. Also every time he leaves early, he has this strange look on his face."

Unikitty sat up. "Yeah, I've noticed that. He looks like he's really happy."

"Aye, he had the same look on 'is face that Emmet had when 'e used to stare at Lucy." Metalbeard said, which caused everyone to look at a now embarrassed and blushing Emmet. (2)

"W-what? I-I didn't s-stare at her…" he stuttered, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Emmet, son, it was obvious from the moment I didn't see you that you had feelings for her." Vitruvius commented.

Emmet blushed even more and slumped into the couch. "…Was it really that obvious?" he muttered. Everyone but Lucy nodded.

"Ok guys, give him a break." Lucy said.

"Thank you, Lucy." Emmet said, sitting back up, though the blush refused to leave his face.

"I actually think that's really sweet." She whispered to him, causing him to smile and blush even more.

"Ok, back on the subject, I won't deny that I agree; something is definitely going on with him." Vitruvius said.

"I think he has a girlfriend." Lucy said. Every head in the room quickly turned towards her, looking at her as if she had just told them the world was going to end in five minutes.

"Do you really think so?" Benny asked.

"I'm pretty sure."

"Should we ask him?" Emmet asked, doubtful that Batman had a girlfriend.

"No, he would have told us if he wanted to."

"Why doesn't he want to? We're his friends." Benny asked, looking a little offended.

"He probably just isn't ready. He'll tell us when he is."

-Flashback Ends-

Lucy had been right.

By the time he had finally told them, the two of them had been together for almost seven months. Not only did Batman have a girlfriend, his girlfriend happened to be the one and only Cat Woman. About four months after he had told them, the two of them married. Their little girl, Helena, came about a year and a half later. (3)

While the kids all ran around the playground, Emmet and Lucy talked with Batman and Cat Woman. They could both tell that the two superheroes were happy together. Probably as happy as they were.

Eventually Unikitty, Benny, Metalbeard and even Ghost Vitruvius came as well. The whole gang and the kids spent their night having a picnic, roasting marshmallows, playing games, talking about past times, and just straight up having a good time. Yes, the kids even got their spaceship ride. Emmet smiled the entire time. He couldn't have been happier. All the trouble they had been through was behind them. Sure, trouble could come eventually, but for now, the Universe was at peace and he was with everyone he loved.

And looking back, he wouldn't have done anything different.

(1) Yeah, how could I NOT name him that? He was actually the first child created. I was originally just going to have two kids, but I added Sunset a little later on (who actually went through a TON of name changes.) I know Sunset isn't technically a real name, I just wanted to make her bright (no pun intended) and full of energy similar to Unikitty, so I figured I should give her a unique name like Unikitty's as well. While I'm giving random facts, Jacqueline was originally going to be called Skye, but I changed it after I changed Sunset's name for the umpteenth time because it was too similar to Sunset's. I named Jacqueline after a good friend of mine.

(2) I'm not one hundred percent sure that I wrote Metalbeard's pirate dialogue correctly. I don't really know how to write pirate lingo.

(3) I didn't create Helena or Batman's marriage to Cat Woman. Both were featured in the Earth-Two DC comics. There was also the option of pairing him with Talia al Ghul since they also had a child together in the comic Batman: Son of the Demon, but I'm not really partial to her after reading MajesticGull's story "Where are You?" If you've read the story, you know what I mean. I just wanted to give Batman a happy ending as well.

Huh, I'm starting to sound like an audio commentary…

Well, that concludes this story! Thank you all so much for all your reviews! I never would have made it this far without them! Remember to keep up to date on my latest creation "The Lego Movie Awards: Fanfiction Style!"
