Well, my name is Zack. Yes, that is my real name; I doubt you'll find out anything about me. Even if you did, it wouldn't matter in my current situation. Right now I'm somewhere far from home, but that's later.

I was walking along in a simple T-shirt and a pair of shorts. This may seem normal, but there's a twist. I'm actually a Pikmin. If you don't know, a Pikmin is a humanoid creature with a stem on the top of their heads. Two others and I were humans before, but a series of events led us all to each other as Pikmin. The reason I was wearing clothes is because it felt weird to get up every day naked. Olimar was kind enough to stitch us some before he left. Anyway, my best friend Jack (who was also wearing clothes) and I were taking a stroll through the Forest of Hope. We were talking when Marvin came up to us.

"I think there's something you guys want to see." he said worryingly. So we did. The thing about Marvin is that he's a Bulborb. We can understand him because William (a Swooping Snitchbug) gave us these wristbands so that we could understand any creature we wanted. Marvin wasn't eating us because he was a member of the Anti-Pikavore Division, (or APD) which were a group of Pikavores that were against eating Pikmin. Well, group is an understatement, but I digress.

"Wow," I whispered, "Where did this come from?" I was looking at a Temporal Flower in front of me. The only thing is that we went in this spot almost every time we came to the Forest of Hope, and it wasn't here before.

"This appeared about an hour ago." Marvin told me.

Jack grinned. "That means a new universe just formed! Let's go Zack!"

"Wait," I said. "What if this new universe is dangerous?"

"If it is, we can just come back through the other flower. They always come in pairs." Jack reminded me.

"Well, if you put it that way." I said. Together we stepped into the flower. I saw its petals close around us, and I lapsed into unconsciousness.

Well, here's my chapter. I am the one pulling the strings, as the others mentioned, but always remember to 1. review, and 2. address reviews to whoever wrote them. These were only introductions, it'll get more interesting later. Anyways, bye! (for now)
