The path to the Valley of Repose was barren, with hardly any other life forms in sight, apart from a few Flitterbies here and there. That's good. I need to use most of my energy for walking, not defending myself. We Pikmin are used to walking very long distances. Don't believe me? I remember traversing two dungeons in the Awakening Wood in just one day! Quite an impressive feat, considering it is a bit of a pain to drag around all this bulk. It was my rear-end that was in pain from all the butt slamming!
The sun was beginning to set, so I had to find somewhere to hide from predators. I searched along a craggy rock face. But something seemed off. Instead of a nip in the air, it seemed humid. Was I headed the wrong way? There was no point turning back anyways. I could end up getting even more lost than I am now!
Lost.
That word felt strange, almost foreign to me. I had never gotten separated from the group. A strange feeling of emptiness seemed to consume me. What was this feeling? I wanted to sleep in the ship again. It was so much more comfortable and warm when compared to crawling in between two large rocks. Oh man, will I ever be stiff in the morning. I better not get stuck. That would make me a free meal for any passing Bulborb. Then I would never see Olimar, Louie, and the other Pikmin again! That thought alone intensified this empty feeling, making me want to cry.
Don't worry everyone! I will return, no matter what trials and hardships try to stop me!
(A/N: I just went on vacation with my dad, so I was able to write but not upload. I promise from here on out the chapters will be longer. I just wanted to end this hiatus. Until next time, LadyPineTree out!)
