A New Life
Prologue-
I watch from the base of the red onion after delivering a pellet as the rain softly falls on the cool dirt. The red pikmin next to me, starts with
"So do you like the rain?"
A little surprised, I respond "Yeah, there's just something calming about the calm rain as it falls like a blanket over the land..."
"Ha, yeah... of course, it does make transporting a little harder, but hey, glad all we had was a pellet." He states.
"Hey, do you ever wonder about what might be out there, beyond where the leaders take us? An area and a life outside of these lands?" I ask my fellow red.
"Why? We have all we'd ever need. We have nutrition and an onion to live in?"
"Yeah..."
As we sit on the ground beneath the onion, I try to get some sleep before sundown of this night.
I wake with a start as I hear the sharp cry of one of the leaders' whistle, I jump to attention.
I look up to the reddening sky, realizing it is the end of this day, and start following the leader who called me.
"Hey, how was your rest?" The red I talked to earlier asks me from behind.
Startled, I respond "Uh, it went well."
"Ok!" He says running off.
From our leaders, I hear them give the high pitched whistle that tells us to enter the onions for the end of the day. I climb up the legs of my onion, taking refuge inside the sanctuary the walls grant us as we rise into the atmosphere with the leaders' odd-looking onion thing.
