It took a while, but you and Candy finally found more bloody footsteps. Candy flew you down. The area was littered with blood. But it wasn't pikmin blood. There was some movement in the grass. You looked and was terrified at what you saw. It was a bulborb corpse. The eyes were missing, and there was holes and scratches on its back. Its lower jaw was missing and the throat could be seen. Candy covered her eyes in horror. The bulborb was flailing around in pain. You quickly ran to Candy. "That's so sad! The poor bulborb!" Candy looked down. You began to have second thoughts about bringing Candy along. You needed the poor girl to fly you, not to be scarred for life! "Maybe we should go now." Candy flew you off. 'Maybe we deserve a break. That bulborb looked pretty gruesome.' "Hey Candy. Maybe we could go to your house for a while?" She nodded. You arrived at her cloud. "I have a surprise for you." Candy went into her house. 'I wonder what it is…' Candy carried something out of her dome. Your eyes widened when you saw it. It was a bulbmin. A bulbmin. The best part? You fucking loved bulbmin. "Holy crap. I fucking love bulbmin." You fell to your knees. "I FUCKING LOVE BULBMIN." You raised your hands to the sky as if it was a miracle. Candy giggled and put down the bulbmin. It ran over to you. You began to cry tears of joy as it licked your face. "Isn't it cute? I found it in the Submerged Castle." You looked at her. "Thank you." You hugged Candy and the bulbmin. "Now I have two friends." You hugged them tighter.
You rested at Candy's place for a few days. The two of you had gotten closer than before. You knew that soon, you would probably be in a relationship with her. The thought made your heart soar, but you had to find your father, and kill him. Simple as that. Of course, you learned to just follow the footprints, ignore the bloodshed. You sat with Candy on her cloud. "What will we name her?" Candy questioned. You stared at the bulbmin curiously. She stared back. It seemed like an eternity before an idea popped in your head. "How about…" You would have smiled, if you were able. "…Posie?" Candy looked at you. "I think that's a beautiful name. Maybe you should be someone who names pikmin at birth." You nodded shyly. The bulbmin, now named Posie, ran over to you and Candy. You lifted Posie off the ground. "Maybe we should take her along with us. We do need the extra help," you suggested. "But what about her? What if she gets hurt?" You looked at Posie. 'Shit. She's right… How is she so smart? So passionate… so strong…' "Maybe we should train her to attack anyone we come across?" you suggested. Candy looked at the bulbmin in wonder. "Maybe so. I think it's a good idea." Candy pet Posie on her smooth head. "I can't come up with all the ideas." You crossed your arms playfully. Candy giggled and hugged you. You looked at the sky and whispered. "Thank you…"
