Okay, guys! This is my pikmin fanfic. Oh boy. Now, I know I'm being hypocritical about my whole 'OC's should never be the center of attention' thing, but I got asked to do this by at least three of my friends and I crack easily under peer pressure. Therefore, we have this. Okay, now if you're coming over here from Sewing Time, then I have to say that this fanfic will have a very different upload schedule. Instead of it being once a week, it will be whenever the next chapter is done. This is because each of the characters in this fic has an irl (in real life) counterpart. Heck, I didn't even change their names! As a result, they are my betas and this story can take a while to get around to them. If you're new to my work, then please read on. However, if you're familiar with Sewing Time, then I have one more thing to say to you. If some of these guys sound familiar, then they are. Remember that the OC's that are in Sewing Time are based off of real people that I know? Well, like I said above, so are these. In fact, some of them are based off of the same people. ;) In fact, the interpretation of them in this fanfic is much closer to their real selves than the one in Sewing Time. Anyway, here we go. On to my very first pikmin fanfiction: True Colours!

Prologue

"Through the whole darn staaaaaaage" a chorus of nerds sang! The seven seat minivan was packed full of teenagers, ready for their vacation. It may have been summer, but that didn't stop them from talking and singing about anything and everything that they could think of that was Nintendo related on their way to the convention.

"So, how long will it take to get there again, Chelsea?" asked the skinny boy that was sitting next to the driver in what appeared to be a very angry tone.

"If everything goes according to plan, then it should take us about three days, Shaun." The very short driver happily replied, knowing that he always sounded angry, even if he was happy.

"Three days with these people that I barely know…" replied a large man with a semi-soft voice, sitting just behind the passenger seat and sporting a black coat.

"HA! Well, you already know me and Chelsea… wait, the only ones out of us that you actually know are the girls!" laughed the tall, skinny, girl that sat beside him, directly behind the driver.

"Yes, I know you very well, Wrenny." He said back to her, before proceeding to laugh some more. Another boy that was sitting on the door side of the three back seats, and was actually quite fat, decided to join in the conversation, trying to sound serious, but laughing at the same time.

"Hey, hey, Dane, you're lucky that we chose to take you over Ethan or Zane!"

"Yeah, thanks by the way, Jacob." He responded while another boy was laughing his ass off in the background. Jacob then grabbed that boy who was sitting directly next to him and in the middle of the three back seats, and began to laugh with him. Dane let a bit of laughter loose before saying

"Well, at least Andrew's laughing too." To which, the boy fairly average-looking boy in question, who had done nothing but laugh, finally spoke up.

"Yeah, that was actually pretty funny, although he does know me!" In his laughter, though, he accidently hit the one quiet boy, who was sitting on the other side of him and finally looked up from his 3DS game.

"Woah, Andrew!" He said in a very quiet tone, obvious that he actually had some sort of vocal issue.

"Sorry, Mitch" Andrew quickly apologized to him, leaving neither party to think anything of it. However, before anything else could be said, a bump in the road knocked them all back to reality. Looking out the windows, they noticed that they were pulling into a trailer park.

"Umm… Chelsea? What are we doing here?" Jacob asked the driver, who was also the one who had planned the whole trip.

"If we want to get there in time, then we have to rough it tonight. Don't worry, though, it's just for tonight." She replied in a matter-of-factly tone. Considering that she was the only one who had graduated high school yet, she was greatly respected among the group… that, and she was paying most of the expenses for the trip.

"Ok, boys, go pick out a campsite while I pay for the night." She told them as she stood at the kiosk. They then took off in search around the area, sticking together because they were in unfamiliar territory. Meanwhile, they talked mainly about various things from video games.

"Yeah, I think I'm the only PC gamer here." Dane summarized. There were no shouts of distain from all of the others, who were console gamers. Instead, there was simply a collective shrug.

"I don't really think that matters. Either you're a gamer, or not… and, frankly, I do dabble a bit in PC games as well." Jacob began to voice the collective thoughts of the rest of the group. All the while, either they had stopped paying attention, or they just decided not to say anything.

As the group continued on, they began to branch out, feeling more comfortable with the surrounding area. Wrenny and Dane walked next to each other, what with having known each other for quite a while. Shaun and Mitchell decided to walk together and talk excitedly about the upcoming convention. Finally, Jacob and Andrew, the two who had known each other since they were born, were chatting about a few, quite random, things.

"Well, yeah. I mean, all things considered, I always go to the ice world first. Why the heck would anyone want to go to the water wooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-" Jacob yelled, as he fell off the edge of a steep slope that had seemingly come out of nowhere. The boy wasn't necessarily clumsy, but everyone had their moments. All of the others rushed over immediately, wondering if he was okay.

"What happened?" Chelsea's voice came out of nowhere. Looking behind, the remaining teenagers could see the van off a little ways in the distance and the, much closer, woman who looked very confused as to why all of her friends were crowded around the edge of a slope. All that anyone could do was stare in between the edge and her before Andrew finally broke the silence.

"Jacob fell" was all he had to say as he pointed down, off the edge of the slope.

"SHIT!" She yelled. Not only was she concerned for her friend, but if anything happened to him, then she knew that it would be her head on the chopping block. After all, out of the only three legal adults who were there, the parents considered her as the most responsible. Therefore, she was technically responsible for the other six. This didn't come to her mind first, though, because it didn't have enough time before…

"I'm okay!" could be heard from the bottom of the slope. Everyone sighed in relief, but that didn't stop Andrew, Chelsea, and Shaun from running down there to help the youngest member of the group. Subsequently, Mitchell, Wrenny, and Dane followed soon after. When they reached the bottom, all of them were relieved to find that Jacob really was unharmed.

"It's okay, guys, you didn't need to come after me. I'd have been able to make it back on my own." Jacob tried to reassure the others. However, Chelsea soon interjected him by saying

"Yeah, but why the hell not?" Failing to find a good argument to that, Jacob simply shrugged and began to trek back up. That was until Shaun's voice came through.

"Hey, guys, I think I found something." At this, everyone began to crowd around and see that he was talking about a cave. Mitchell laughed.

"Ha, ha… you do realize that there could be something in there, right?" He asked, matter-of-factly.

"Yeah, but I don't think it'd be something like a bear. After all, they're supposed to stink worse than Jacob's room, and I don't smell anything." Shaun rebuttled, ignoring the yell of indignation that came from the boy.

"Heh, yeah… and if the Zelda series has taught me anything, it's to explore!" Chelsea stated, taking a cautious step into the cave, completely forgetting about the camping idea. The others quickly followed behind, aware that there could be something dangerous lurking around any corner, but not wanting their friend to have to face whatever that may be, alone! Quickly enough, though, they came upon a clearing in the cave that seemed to have a skylight illuminating the area.

However, it was what was around the room that caught the attention of everyone. There were seven giant, multicolored flowers scattered around. In fact, the colours were red, yellow, blue, white, purple, grey, and pink and they were so big, that any one of the teenagers could use one of them as a bed if they wanted. For a while, though, they simply stared at these flowers. Yet, it couldn't stay that way when there was someone like Wrenny with them.

"EMAGERD, GIANT FLOWERS!" she screamed at the top of her lungs, and then went rushing over to the nearest flower, (the pink one) in order to jump into the center. Thankfully, the flower didn't even buckle underneath her weight (although that wasn't really saying much). The others laughed, having become much calmer about the flowers. While Jacob and Andrew decided to ignore them after the initial surprise, Shaun and Chelsea walked up to their favorite colours, red and blue respectively, and began to poke them, still somewhat cautious, about them. Dane simply walked up to a random one, the yellow one, and began to see if he could smell it. Mitchell, on the other hand, walked up to the purple one and began look at it like he was studying it.

Jacob, however, being the little devil that he was, (and not really caring much about the flowers) decided to sneak up behind Mitchell and push him into the center of it. After all, it couldn't be that bad if Wrenny jumped right into the pink one, and nothing happened, right? The flower provided a very soft landing for Mitchell as he fell, but he still looked kind of pissed.

"Jacob, why'd you have to go and do thaaaaaaat?" He drew out his last word as the petals of the flower began to quickly close around him. He didn't even get a chance to reach out before the petals closed shut. Jacob, shocked by this and laughing at the fact that the flower actually closed, took a few steps back. However, not looking where he was going, he tripped over what was behind him and fell right into the center of the grey flower!

Jacob yelled as the grey petals closed around him. Soon enough, a yell could be heard coming from the pink flower as it swallowed Wrenny up.

"I'MMA GETTIN' A FLOWER HOUSE, BITCHES!" came her voice (that was very detached from the situation, as usual) before it was cut off. Dane, Shaun, and Chelsea all stood there, petrified from what they had just witnessed. Andrew, however, was springing right into action, determined to help his best friend, Jacob, get out of that accursed flower. In fact, he was so distracted with it, that he didn't notice the white flower that he had stepped on until it was too late.

With a yell, Andrew saw the light fade away as the petals closed around him. That wasn't all though. The remaining three teenagers finally snapped out of it and quickly elected to go and get help! However, before anyone could do anything, a single vine reached out from each of the three remaining flowers, grabbing the closest person that there was to them!

Screams could be heard coming from the cave, but there was no one there to hear them as the red flower pulled Shaun in, the yellow flower pulled Dane in, and the blue flower pulled Chelsea in. Soon enough, the entire room was completely silent once again. Seven very colourful flowers having finally gotten their fill...

So there you have it. If you like it then YAY! If you don't like it then I understand. Here's a little bonus, though. You probably know who's going to be what colours, but do you know which of these characters is me? If you guess correctly, then you'll get to suggest something that happens to these guys... just as long as it doesn't involve a character death. :/ Either way, though, tell me what you think via a review and I'll see you guys next week for chapter 1... okay, I know that I said that the upload schedule for this would be different from Sewing Time, but I already have chapter 1 finished and I just want to 'dip my toe before I jump in', so to speak. Anyway, for real this time, I'll see you guys next week!
