Truly, red was a beautiful color. Even if it can be bright on the eyes occasionally. Still, he loved the red Pikmin. And now, as they venture through the Frozen Inferno, he's more than glad to have them.

The deeper they got, the colder it was. Moss was able to keep them warm, but he himself wasn't as lucky. His spacesuit kept out some of the cold, but not all of it.

He was shivering as they continued looking. That's when he felt tiny arms around him. Looking over his shoulder, he noticed a red Pikmin hugging him.

He never noticed this before, but the red Pikmin was warm. Perhaps their immunity to fire had something to do with it. Regardless, he smiled and patted their head.

"Thank you little one." He whispers softly. Soon, a few other red Pikmin moved over to hug him. He finally stopped shivering and wrapped his arms around them. His heart filled with warmth.

Olimar double counted, making sure he was right. And unfortunately, he was. One red, blue, and yellow Pikmin had mysteriously vanished from the group.

He's not sure when they got separated, but he had to find them as it was almost sunset. Louie was already waiting for him by the ship.

So, checking the radar, he found the three near the place where the Unspeakable Wonder had been. So, making sure nobody got left behind again, he hurried over to get the three Pikmin.

What he didn't expect was for three of them to be playing in the snow. With a sharp blow into the whistle, the three Pikmin turned to him. They cheered before running up to him.

They suddenly grabbed his hand, much to Olimar's surprise. They led him over to a pile of snow. At first, he didn't understand why they wanted him to see it.

However, upon a closer look, he couldn't help but smile. Though crudely made, the three had made a snowman of him. He couldn't help but take a picture to show Louie.

Back at base, Louie received the photo. Upon seeing the snowman, he couldn't help but give a small smile.
