Olimar's POV

I can't remember the last time that we had pizza for dinner. Heck, it's been long since I last HAD dinner with my family, too long. I had a lot to tell.

"So when I plucked it, it turned out to be a living creature! Not a plant!"

"Wooowww…" was the awed response of my children.

"So what was the creature like?" Cooper asked.

"It resembled a Pik pik carrot, that's how I decided to call them 'Pikmin'. There are several different colors, and they each have different abilities. The red Pikmin could walk through fire and not burn, the yellow Pikmin can withstand electricity, and blue Pikmin could survive in water."

"Coooool!"

"And when I went back the second time, there were two others I discovered. Purple and white. The purple Pikmin were ten times heavier than all the others, they had hair and were really pudgy."

Victoria giggled at that, "Were they cute?"

Cooper jumped up, "Were they strong?"

I chuckled, "They were just as cute as the others and they were really strong, and they helped us out of a lot of jams by stunning the enemies when I threw them."

As the kids made funny faces resembling the Pikmin at each other, Clara said to me, "You should've thrown Louie at the monsters."

"Haha! Maybe… I mean he DID cost me family time. But now he's facing what I think is an even worse punishment."

"Thank the heavens for that." Clara praised, "And even more so that you're safe." She leaned over the table; I started to do the same to kiss her…

"What about the white Pikmin?" Cooper sat back down, "What did they do?"

Victoria did the same and listened for my answer.

I quickly retracted, "The white Pikmin were smaller than the others, they were fast and had big beady red eyes which could detect treasure hidden completely underground."

"I bet they were so cute!" Victoria fawned.

"They must have looked like a space alien plant hybrid!" Cooper imagined, "Zipping around the land and pouncing on unexpected treasures! And in the middle of the night, you see nothing but the glow of their deep red eyes! Lit up from the moon!"

"That's creepy!" Victoria commented.

"It's cool!" He retorted.

"Creepy!"

"Cool!"

"Creepy!"

"Cool!"

I watched the kids with amusement, being away from my family for so long made me find their trivial little arguments rather endearing.

"All right you two, finish eating your dinner!"

I had forgotten that my wife is with the kids all the time, it's not the same for her. The kids hushed, and continued with their pizza.

"We'll have to go on a family vacation soon." I mentioned, "I don't know what we can afford, but we'll be together."

Clara smiled, "That's just what we needed."

President's POV

"Yes, yes I know. I'm really sorry honey." I was weak on my knees apologizing to my wife over the phone, "I didn't plan this it just came up, we had to save the company."

She huffed, "Well I hope you got everything on your list."

"Everything is all taken care of darling, just relax. I'll make it up to you somehow."

"When?" She didn't seem impressed.

"I'll do it sometime soon, just let me take care of some final loose ends with the Loan Sharks and I'll be on my way home."

She softened, "Okay, hurry home now sweetie! I love you!"

I looked around to assure I was alone then replied, "I love you too darling. Bye."

I hung up the phone and sat back down at my desk, the computer blown up with messages from the crazy company.

I rolled my eyes and muttered, "All right, all right… I'm only one person… good grief."

I can't believe that these Black Hole Loan Sharks… ever since I accidently went to them, they have not left me alone for a second! I'm always on my toes! There is no way I could be more any high strung than I am right now!

Then I got another message in my inbox.

This one, was not from the Black hole Insane Asylum (as it should be called, considering how nutty they are), it was an automated message with 'ALERT' as the subject. I clicked open the message and it read,

THE INTERGALACTIC POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS RECEIVED SEVERAL REPORTS FROM LOCALS THAT AN UNMARKED SUSPICIOUS AIRCRAFT HAS BEEN SPOTTED FLYING AROUND THE GALAXY.

I brushed the message off; I get messages like this every now and then. Each time it turned out to be something completely innocent, or just some crazy kids having too much fun.

I didn't look twice at it.

Author's Note:

Bad move President! Haha! XD Seriously, how did he accidentally go to a Black Hole loan shark place instead of a Happy place? Happy Hocotate Savings and Loan to be precise.

I mean come on that place had to look scary! XD

C'est la vie, I guess ^_^

Sayonara! ^_^
