leans in Oz is full of wonders, right? But, this journey, it's...something else with you here. sighs
what do you mean by something else
I don't know how to explain it exactly... looks down It feels like...I am exactly where I'm supposed to be when I'm with you. Like...
...like my heart is being pulled out of my chest and stretched in ways it never thought possible. blushes, looks away
well aren't you full of surprises
Yeah, I guess I am. takes a deep breath Look, I'm not good with words, but...I hope you know that I care about you a lot. A lot more than...
than what? puts hand gently on her shoulder
tears well up in her eyes, sniffles Than anyone else I've ever met. I-I've been hurt before, so I'm hesitant, but...I want to give this a try.
heh, me too rubs her back softly and helps her up let's go now shall we?
Yes, let's go. wipes away tears, puts her straw hat back on I'm ready for whatever adventures lie ahead, as long as we're together. smiles
hmm one day i will settle down..have a little straw girl, and marry you~ I chuckled at my fantasy…*
eyes widen and blushes deeply Oh! That's quite forward of you, TwilightEcho. giggles Well, who knows what the future holds?
hehe, just joking( we continue our walk to emerald city
So, TwilightEcho, what do you think about meeting some other friends along the way? Maybe others who have abilities like mine?
yea- OH MY GOODNESS- LOOK A KITTY!! points at catdog hybrid he is so adorable walks over to catdog to pet him
laughs Oh, TwilightEcho, you always know how to find the cutest creatures. Go ahead, give him a scratch behind the ears.
pets catdog’s head, Catdog purrs awwhhh he likes me
Hey, TwilightEcho, watch out! grabs TwilightEcho's arm and pulls her away from a sudden snapping turtle
holds TwilightEcho's hand tightly We need to be careful. That turtle almost got you. Let's keep moving forward.
we meet a talking twister walker scarecrow and surprisingly its human form was Twisterwalker himself!
narrows her eyes and clenches her fist Twister Walker, you may have escaped before, but not this time. We won't let you harm anyone else.
steps forward You're right, TwilightEcho. I won't let anyone hurt you or anyone else anymore. cracks knuckles Twister Walker, prepare yourself.
woah…scarecrow is going to fight twister walker…this is gonna be awesome!!
runs towards Twister Walker, but suddenly stops in her tracks Twister Walker, there's something I need to tell you before we fight. pauses
takes a deep breath Twister Walker, I used to be just like you. A regular human who got caught up in the magic of Oz.
looks into Twister Walker's eyes But I've come to realize that there's more to life than the chaos and destruction you bring.
reaches out her hand towards Twister Walker I want to help you change, to find redemption. Will you accept my help?
Catdog begins to screech loudly WHAT?!?!!
snaps back to reality What? Did you say something? What's wrong, Catdog?
Catdog looks like she wants to say something hehe…catdog speaking…here…use..straw……Strawww….what?
Catdog, are you trying to say "straw hat"? Is there something special about my straw hat?
Catdog nods Cat…dog..telling….scarecrow…happens…if…scarecrow…loses…strawww hat..
furrows her brow If I lose my straw hat? What happens then? Catdog, please tell me more.
Catdog says something under his breath about straw hat not being like his hat
squints her eyes I don't understand. Why does my straw hat matter so much? Is there something special about it? Catdog, please enlighten me.
Catdog begins to bark rapidly, Scarecrow and Twisterwalker begin to understand- Catdog will die if Scarecrow loses her straw hat
grips her straw hat tightly No! Catdog, I won't let anything happen to you. I promise, I won't lose my straw hat.
damn…sounds intense. let’s hope scarecrow does win…
takes a deep breath and clenches her fists Alright, Twister Walker. I accept your challenge. But remember, I won't hold back. Let's settle this once and for all. starts chanting silently, preparing herself for battle Twister Walker: smirks You're no match for me, Scarecrow. I've caused chaos and destruction for far too long to be stopped by a mere human like you.
…twisterwalker…why do you want so badly to do these things…was it because your creator abandoned you like some clothes left behind..?
glares at Twister Walker Twister Walker, I can understand being angry and seeking revenge. But causing pain and suffering to innocent people isn't the answer. We all have a choice in how we live our lives. I choose to protect others, to help them find happiness. Isn't it time you chose a different path too? Twister Walker: pauses, his eyes flickering with uncertainty
