Daisy eventually ran out of steam and collapsed on the ground. She lay there for a bit as ToadToad licked her face with a tongue that didn't look like it should belong to a dog. A scarecrow with a red cap and a mustache sat on a post in a nearby field. "Dude. Dude. Dude. Wake up. Dude!" he said to the redhead on the floor. She sat up and stared at the figure. "Sup. Hey, do you mind helping me down?" the scarecrow asked. Daisy looked at the post attached to him. "No. As long as you don't eat my face." She said. The scarecrow chuckled. "Of course I won't, little girl." He said, his eye twitching. "Good enough for me!" said the always-cautious farm girl. She unhooked the scarecrow and helped him to the ground.
He brushed himself off. "So where are you headed?" he asked. Daisy blinked. "Oh…That would be helpful to know…." She said. The scarecrow laughed. "What do you mean?" He said. "The Witch in the pink bubble told me to follow this road. Then all her minions started to sing and I ran away. She never told me where to go afterwards. Hey, have you always been Italian?" Daisy asked, confused. The scarecrow nodded. "Yes, yes I have. Well, if you keep following this road, eventually you will wind up at the Comet Observatory. The Great Wizard Rosalina lives there. She might be able to send you home." Daisy smiled. "Great! I guess getting home would be nice. Thanks!" she said as she and Toadtoad began walking away.
"Wait!" the scarecrow called. Daisy turned around and saw him running towards them. He collapsed on the ground, got up, and started running again. "Hey, listen kid. I don't have a brain!" Daisy was a bit taken aback. "What?" The scarecrow facepalmed. "I mean, I wish I had a brain! " Daisy laughed. "So do I. Well, I guess I'll be going…." She said, walking away quickly. "Wait!" Daisy turned around again. The scarecrow was following her again. "Where this is supposed to be going is, I say that I didn't have a brain, then you ask if I want to come, and I accept and break into song-"Daisy screamed ."NO! NO MORE SONGS!" she took off down the road as fast as she could.
Soon Daisy heard someone yell "WAIT!" again. Daisy spun around, ready to punch out the scarecrow, when she saw a Parakoopa Mail Carrier land in-front of her. "Parakarry at your service." He said, handing her a package. Daisy and Toadtoad ripped the paper off the box and looked inside. Inside was the Red Goomba's boots, and a sticker that said "I was kissed by the Witch Peach." Daisy held up the sticker with a WTH expression on her face. "The Witch Peach said wearing that will keep you safe from harm." Said Parakarry, tipping his hat as he flew away. Daisy did not want to wear that sticker, but she didn't want to get hurt either. So she put the sticker on the inside of one of the Goomba's boots, slipped her feet into them, and continued on her way.
The scarecrow, if you were wondering, had hoisted himself back onto his post. He was rather disappointed that he hadn't gotten to eat the girl's face.
