Prologue
Frank, along with Dimples, Sidney, Moo, Blake, and Benny (The Council of One) were driving their famous spaceship, the C-6980. Their latest threat was another Blacktron attack, 400 light-miles away from the Moon base but only 200 light-miles from Pandora. All was going fine, with Frank driving, Blake managing the weapons, Benny controlling the acceleration (After The LEGO Movie, he had learned to control his addiction to spaceships slightly), and Moo making Spaceship Cupcakes, the group's favorite.
However, Commander Black, the menacing leader of Blacktron, wanted the Council of One done. Also, he plain hated Frank's innocent blog posts! Black called for the plan to begin. Ships cornered the C-6980 on all sides - top, bottom, left, right, front, behind. Black gave the order to go on his word.
One line of ships did not realize to wait to go, and struck the helm of the ship. At the helm of the ship was Frank, and it went in there bad. The cockpit opened up, and Frank, knocked out, sailed nowhere into space - until he hit a Blacktron ship and Sidney got him.
Chapter 1: Houston, Where are We?
Classic Space's best, most trusted doctor was assessing Frank.
"He'll make it. He might have a concussion. But he'll make it," The doctor said.
"What's a concussion?" Dimples asked worryingly.
"Damage to the brain. Side effects can include temporary headaches, problems with concentration, balance, and..." The doctor paused.
"...Memory loss," Moo finished with a concern.
"Amnesia?" Benny commented, "I'm sure he'll be fixed up in no time. Right? Right guys?"
No one commented on the matter. Then Blake said, "Hush up. It looks like Frank's awakening."
"OK Mom, five more minutes or something..." Frank said groggily. Then his eyes went big. "Where am I? And who are you... five? You look ridiculous!"
"What? I think we look splendid!" Sidney remarked. Blaked looked at Sidney with a "Seriously, now?" face.
"Frank, it's you!" Dimples exclaimed.
"That's quite a joke there, Frank!" Sidney said. "You can stop now."
"No, I'm serious. Where are we? Tell me NOW!" Frank shouted.
"On Pandora! You know that!" Benny remarked.
Frank completely ignored him. "What's this? I'm wearing a silly costume like you guys? Bleah!" Frank threw his helmet on the ground. The front cracked.
Then Benny, always cheery even in the saddest of times, actually shed a tear. "His helmet... it's cracked..." Benny sniffed.
"We need to get help for Frank. This is serious," Moo alerted.
"OK, I'll direct you to Commander Zach. He specializes in cases just like these," The doctor informed the crew.
"Wait, are we in SPACE?! I thought we never got there! Someone get me out of here!" Frank exclaimed.
Chapter 2: We Have To Do It ALL OVER AGAIN?
The Council of One (excluding Frank, who had a hard time believing he was in space and was wandering around the office) circled around Commander Zach, who had pulled up Frank's early files.
"According to these files, Frank was a serious 'grump-a-lump' who didn't enjoy anything - until he got to ride his first spaceship. From there, he pursued his passions of photography, Tae-Kwan-Do and blogging." Then the Commander turned to the group. "Dimples, I know that you are his theoretical brother," he paused, "But Benny is - or was - his best friend. I need you, Benny, to reintroduce him to his passions. Start with spaceships. Take him on the C-918."
"Oooh! Spaceship!" Benny exclaimed spaceship-ily.
"Why that one?" Sidney questioned. Commander Zach was just about to answer when Blake interrupted, "Yeah, WHY?"
The Commander rolled his eyes, and began again. "The C-918 Passenger Space Ship is a small and comfy spaceship that gets a good view of space for Frank. Also, if he bring what was the past to him again, maybe he'll remember."
By then, Benny was already getting Frank to come. "Come on, Frank, let's go! It'll be fun!"
"But... It's in the middle of nowhere!" Frank shivered.
"No it isn't! Come on, grab a training helmet and LET'S GO!!!"
Chapter 3: Whoa...
Benny was having a hard time getting Frank into the spaceship. So this is what it's like having kids, Benny thought in his head.
After a few minutes of showing all the features and safety precautions of the ship and explaining what would happen if it ran out of fuel, Benny put on some calming music and started it up. Benny choose not to go fast for Frank. he knew exactly where to go.
Frank was taking a nap by the time he got to the field. It was important for him to get rest, so Benny listened to music on headphones until he woke up.
"Whoa... where are we?" Frank questioned. "Is... is this Earth in the future?"
"No, no, no, Frank! This is the Meranian Asteroid Field. These are rare shiny rocks that you see here. But maybe, they were from a planet that doesn't exist anymore!"
"Um... This is just so familiar... can you... can you, um... take me somewhere else?" Frank was stunned.
Benny smiled and headed for Earth. He decided on the way there that he'd see what Frank did remember.
"So, Frank, what happened before you came to Pandora, uh, the other place?"
"I was coming back from my work as a firefighter. Tomorrow, or today, or wherever we are, my fellow Firefighters, Dandy, Sandy, Marceline, Bruns, and Boo, were going to have a really nice party. I hope I didn't miss out..." Frank sighed. Benny was quite conspicuous about the names he said. Why were they so familiar?
"I'm sure you didn't miss out yet. But look! It's Earth!" Benny exclaimed.
Frank gasped. He was amazed that we was actually seeing the Earth, the planet that, he thought, he lived on for all those years.
"Wow... what have I missed all these years?" Frank questioned himself.
"You didn't miss ANYTHING, I promise! It was all just a little... accident," Benny commented.
Chapter 4: Which Button? This Button?
"I'm going to show you something that I know you'll like!" Benny said to Frank. "You know those pictures you can take to make images?"
"Huh?" Frank looked at Benny like he was talking about nonsense. "You mean pens? Pencils? Paintbrushes?"
"Awww. You've forgotten about cameras! Here let me show you one!" Benny remarked. "It's really cool. It, like, observes the surroundings and paints a star-clear image of it! Now stay still!"
Benny got a picture of Frank - picking his nose.
Frank was shocked. He never knew - or never thought he knew - such a thing ever existed! "Let me try! Let me try!" Frank exclaimed.
Frank fiddled with the camera before he turned to Benny with helpless eyes. Benny sighed. "Someone once told me: 'Stay well still as you take thou pictures with both sides. The key is to breath out as you hold the button.' Understand?"
Frank did just that, and Benny could swear to his spaceship that he was there for hours. Then, like he was always a friend, Frank asked, "Hey Benny, can we go on a ride together? You and your friends?"
Benny smiled. "Spaceship! Sure!"
He knew that just a little more and frank would be back.
Chapter 5: I Don't Know How To Steer!
As Benny was talking with the rest of the Council of One (except for Frank, of course, who was as curious as a little child) about how the day was going. "He was taking pictures for hours. His last ones may have been better than before he was hit!"
"Indeed. This could really help Frank," Blake said with a grudge.
"Let's go places on this ride! Maybe, if we go enough places, maybe he'll be back?" Dimples pleaded.
Once they got to the spaceship, Frank was in the trunk.
"Uh, Frank? Why are you doing that?" Sidney asked.
"Oh! It looked like the only was in!" Frank responded.
"No, no, no. Let your friend Benny show you," Moo commented.
Frank came down to see what they were talking about. When we was suited, Benny snapped his fingers, and all of sudden the cockpits went up, with a voice: "Hello: Frank, Dimples, Sidney, Moo, Benny, Blake. How are you doing today?"
"What? How... did this... and that... and how... what?" Frank was scared out of his life. It knew his name!
"Hey baby. Frank doesn't seem to remember who he is, so see up the Guest and Heal Room for him," Benny said.
"As you wish, Benny." The spaceship's voice responded.
After getting Frank situated, The group started up the spaceship and set it on a random and 'awesome' course.
After the ship started up, there was no conversation until Frank started it. "Um. Ben. Benjamin. Benny. Yeah, Benny! Well, um, I'm sorry for, um, cracking that, um... helmet..." he said meekly.
"it's OK, Frank. People make mistakes all the time! " Benny responded happily.
"Uh, guys, GUYS! Asteroid field ahead of us!" Sidney panicked. Everyone else panicked too. Usually, Frank did all the steering!
Moo's attempt to turn only made the ship flip. Blake only said swear words and the ship didn't do anything. The best Benny could do was make the ship go really fast and make it play disco music. Sidney could incinerate some of the chunky rocks, but it wouldn't do any good. And Dimples's menu was useless.
"We're going to DIE! Or have a horrible thing like Frank!" Dimples cried.
"What?" Frank questioned worryingly.
"My life was already horrible anyway," Blake sneered.
Sidney braced for himself. Moo cried.
"Well, this must be the last chance for it.." Benny began. And he said, so loud, so, so loud:
"SPPPPACCCCEEEEEEESHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPP!"
There was silence for a few seconds. Then Moo opened her eyes.
"Guys, we turned!" Sidney cheered.
"SPACESH- wait, how?"
A surprising voice can over the spaceship intercom.
"Spaceship indeed, my friends. Spaceship indeed."
All 5 shouted, "FRANK!!!"
"Yeah, I still need a little rest, but my memory's practically intact. At least I learned to take better photos!" Frank responded.
"Now let's go home and get Frank a new helmet!" Benny exclaimed.
"Oh, yeah. This training helmet is really uncomfortable!" Frank patted the top of his head. "Can we please replace it when we get back?"
And on that note, they went home.
Epilogue
The sound of construction could be heard in the background. Then, the noise stopped and a helmet flipped up.
"All right guys, protocols are up in case an event like that ever happens again," Admiral Camotoy said (who was also a very good engineer).
"Great!" Frank exclaimed.
"Also, Frank, we fixed your helmet." Camotoy pointed to the door. "With the... thingy-ma-bob on the back of the helmet."
"Yes!" Frank happily put on his helmet.
That concludes one unique tale from the astronauts.
