I woke up but felt like I couldn't move. I saw Tamella hovering over me. "Ta..mel..la..." I uttered. "Drink this." Chikari said holding what looked like a small bowl. I did and it tasted terrible but I found my strength again. "What happened?" I asked. "You... Got knocked out after hitting your head on that rock this morning." Tamella said. "Ow... Now that you mention it my head does hurt." I said getting up. "How long was I out for?" I asked. "Dude! You were out for like, three hours!" The white pikmin said. Olimar ran over seeing that I was awake. He wanted to make sure I didn't suffer any head trauma. After seeing that I was all right, he put me with the rest of the group. I worked along side the other pikmin without any problems that day and the day ended like any normal day for a pikmin. It was almost weird. The day was completely uneventful. Like the calm before the storm...
I got up and did work with the others then at noon I got separated from them. A bunch of pink pikmin along with the elder knocked me out. I woke up to find myself tied to a stake. They blamed me for the destruction of the village! They were out for blood! They threw stones at me and used whips. Then one of them suddenly set the stake on fire! All my friends came running to me to save me! Olimar and the other valiantly fought them with the others. Maeteru quickly untied me and safely got me out of there. Tamella ran towards my location. I was in bad condition and was bleeding a little from the whips. "Tamella..." I said. I tried to get up. "Save your strength... We have to treat your wounds." Tamella said. Later that day... I was bandaged up in the hull of the ship. Tamella was by my side. I grabbed her hand. "Thank you Tamella..." I said. "For what?" She asked. "For everything." I replied. I began to blush again. This time she started to blush too. "Are we just friends... or more than friends?" She asked. "I really really like you. I love you." She said. She blushed so much. I told her I loved her too. The purple and white pikmin slept in the other onions so as not to disturb me tonight. Tamella fell asleep by my side as we held hands. I was so sore but felt so much better next to her. My terrifying ordeal couldn't compare to what me and Tamella have now.
