Red Pikmin, blow your leaf!

Summary

"Do you know what would be funny?" I asked Tikki. "That this Pikmin could transform me!"
"Ha ha ha. Marinette, you know that's not possible. It's not a kwami."
"I know... but still... ‘Red Pikmin, blow your leaf!’"

Red Pikmin, blow your leaf!

My name is Marinette. I am holding a Red Pikmin in my hands. The Pikmins fell from the sky in Paris two days ago. At the moment, I'm with Tikki and I've got a strange idea in mind. 

"Do you know what would be funny?" I asked Tikki. "That this Pikmin could transform me!"

"Ha ha ha. Marinette, you know that's not possible. It's not a kwami."

"I know... but still... ‘Red Pikmin, blow your leaf!’"

Nothing happens at first, then the Red Pikmin enters my earrings.

"AHHHHHH!" I yelled, before disappearing.

"Marinette? Marinette! Where are you?"

Tikki is looking for me. In the end, I didn't disappear. I've only shrunk.

"I'm here. All the way down, Tikki!"

"Oh!" She says, finding me. "You're as small as a Pikmin!"

"I know, he transformed me into Pikbug!"

I'm wearing a tight red outfit, like Ladybug's, but I've got a long stem on my head. From this stem, a solitary leaf moves in the wind.

"Pikbug? That's a weird name, don't you think?"

"Don't be mean, Tikki. Now, what can I do as Pikbug?"

"Well, carrying things? I think."

"Anyway, I don't want to be late for school. Leaf, stay still!"

I'm back to normal. The Red Pikmin is back in my hands.

"Okay, in my bag you go." I say, putting the Pikmin in my bag. "Tikki?"

"I know."

She goes to join the Pikmin in its hiding place. I head for the school.
