Eventually Jack,Ianto and Gwen came across a swearing scarecrow. "Bloody birds always sitting on me,"the scarecrow said. He shot the crow sitting on his shoulder a death glare but the crow wasn't bothered.
"Owen?" Gwen asked. How had he become a scarecrow? This was starting to make less sense by the second.
"Yep that's me Owen the scarecrow," the scarecrow replied. "What the hell do you want?"
"We're off to see the Wizard," Ianto stated, "do you want to come along so you can get yourself a brain?" He tried to keep the laughter out og his voice. He knew that he shouldn't enjoy this moment but it was hard not to.
Owen rolled his eyes. "Very funny," Owen said. "What are you going to ask for anyway? A new chew toy for your boyfriend?" Ianto blushed deeply and Jack smiled widely.
"We need the Wizard to send us home," Ianto said deciding to ignore the chew toy comment. "So what do you want if not a brain?" The scarecrow had to want something from the wizard, right? The Doctor had said they had to finish the story first and the scarecrow was part of the story unless this was even more different from the story then they expected. Sure the scarecrow did travel with Dorothy in the story but then Dorothy had also only had Toto unlike Gwen who had him and Jack. Ianto pondered all of this in the short amount of time that it took Owen to answer.
"It would be great to become human again," Owen admitted. "I died once and then I got turned into a scarecrow by some douche farmer. I can't eat,sleep or have sex and I'm forced to stay in this field all day and put up with bloody birds. If you can get me down I'm coming with you. But hurry it up, we better be gone before the farmer comes back." So Gwen, Ianto and Jack as quickly as they could got Owen down from the cross the farmer had tied him to. This wasn't an easy feat and Gwen nearly ripped Owen's arm off in the process.
"Your bloody awful with knots pony tails," Owen told Gwen. Then they went off to see the wizard and introduced themselves to Owen as they walked even though the scarecrow didn't care the least bit about their names.
