Shadow glared up at the sun. "I hope it's night soon." He mumbled.

I fell asleep in the tiny hole

Shadow went into some shade and eventually his eyelids grew heavy and he fell asleep.

-12 Hours later, at night-

I was on Shadow's face again

"Get off, or I won't tell you about 'her'." Shadow mumbled.

I jumped off Shadow's face and didn't land well and fell over

Shadow sighed and went into the field, Pikko following. He stared at the moon, a faraway look in his eyes.

"So are you going to tell me?" I ask

"Yes." Shadow said. "It happened a long, long time ago, and it was on a beautiful starry night like this one. I was searching for food in this exact field, and that's when I saw her. The moon was reflecting off her silky silver fur, making her glow. I was hypnotized by her beauty, and didn't realize when she came over to me. She asked me if I was okay, and when I replied 'yes', she told me her name was Moonbeam. I said mine was Shadow, and she told me it was a great name. We got along well, and became friends. Everything was going just splendid. That is, until the Whipping Wind (hurricane) came. We got separated, and when it stopped, she was missing, and I haven't seen her since." Pikko noticed tears were streaming down Shadow's muzzle. "I loved her so much..."

I wanted to say something, but couldn't think of anything, Pikmin didn't have very intresting lives.

Shadow looked down, eyes shut as tears continued to stream out of his eyes.

The only thing I could think of that would maybe help out was pat Shadow on the back, "She's probably still alive somewhere." I said, though I doubted it

"Perhaps... If she was, my life would feel complete again." Shadow said.
(Nawwww, Shadow!!! =( I feel so bad for him.)

(I feel sorry for Princess Ruto, because she wasn't able to have Link.) I look at him with a puzzled look on my face

"Ever since she went missing, I felt like there was something missing inside me." Shadow explained. "Something important... Something... Special..."
