I had a very strange dream last night.. It was early in the morning, and I had just gotten out of bed and hopped outside the Drake, as it had landed in a new area. Suddenly, Charlie grabbed my hand and led me somewhere as a flash of light transitioned the scene. He was carrying me while we floated on some sort of blurry pink flying contraption. I wanted to escape from his grasp, but I couldn't. Something inside me wanted me to stay there, in his big hulking arms. 

But then, as we leaned in just a bit closer to one another, I woke up..I told myself then and I'll say it again..What an odd dream. I mean, I don't usually dream about the Captain, but when I have, it was never like that. It's very odd, to be honest..

Anyways, I'll begin to write more after our mission today in the Tropical Wilds, Alph's original crash site. I'm starving and in need of some dinner already. Time for some fruit scavenging!

We landed in the area Alph first crash landed, the Tropical Wilds. This area was much more serene and tropical compared to where I landed. I wish I landed here, in all honesty. If I could actually breathe on this planet, I could actually see what else this place has to offer. Well, mostly it would be to smell the salty sea air..

We got a signal not far from where we landed. We suspect its where our cosmic drive key is, and that hocitation that nabbed it; Captain Olimar. We must get it back or we cannot get home with our juice and seeds! But, as of then, we needed to survey our new surroundings. 

"What's it lookin' like over there, lad?" I folded my arms. 

"Ah, looks like a new type of bulborb, sir. The KoPad says it's called a Whip-Tongue Bulborb," Alph said, still scanning the beast, "It utilizes its long tongue to trap pikmin in its grasp and..suck them into its mouth.."

"Good thing I keep a few of these babies in my pocket," I said, pulling out a little something I was supplied by my twin brother before we left for PNF-404. 

"A grenade, sir?!" Alph yelped, hiding behind me, "W-Where in the heck did you get that?!"

"Haha, you have my faithful twin brother to thank for these babies! Before we left, he packed these for me, handcrafted by himself as well!" I said, a hearty laugh escaping my body. 

"Oooo explosives..Interesting," Brittany giggled behind me. I swear, she can be pretty scary sometimes..

"B-Brittany! Look out! This is no place for a lady!" I keep her out of the way of the explosion. 

"Oh, but I wanna see the bulborb blow up!" She whined. 

"I swear to the gods, Brittany, you are something alright.."

The bulborb slurped up a grenade that had fallen out of my pocket without me noticing, exploding inside it and falling to the floor dead. Brittany gave me a sinister slow clap, giving me a bit of a chill..

"Impressive, Captain, but not enough to impress me," She winked. 

"I beg your pardon, Pigeon?" My ear twitched. 

"I get it. You're trying to impress me, but it won't work. Your silly little tinker toys won't do much for my standards," She poked my chest. 

"Then would you kindly tell me what your standards are, Pigeon?"
