Toadette headed upward on the lollipops, jumping from one to the next as she noticed towers of extremely colorful lollipops surrounding her. Toadette tripped, landing face first on the red lollipop she was walking on, shaking her head as she groaned, rubbing the back of her head.
"Oy... I gotta be careful when I'm walking," Toadette admitted as she got back up, dusting off her pink dress. "Otherwise, I could kill myself without me knowing it... WHOA!"
Toadette screamed as she fell off the lollipop, holding onto it as tight as she could. Toadette moved her feet inside her little brown shoes, not being able to hold on as she fell. Toadette screamed, covering her eyes with her hands as she went falling for what seemed like hours. Anyway, she was falling, nothing below but... uh... nothing. Suddenly, a blue colored Auroro snatched up Toadette, holding her with its claws. Toadette looked up, to see the skinny legs of the bird.
"I was saved from my impending death... what a breather!" Toadette exclaimed as she sighed, wiping her forehead. "This is nuts... I just wanna go home and eat my birthday cake..."
The Auroro rolled its eyes as it scoffed, remarking in a british, elderly male tone, "Oh please. Don't start with the whining, I'm already used to it."
"You can talk!" Toadette exclaimed in shock as she dropped her arms, surprised.
The Auroro nodded his head. "Indeed, you odd young girl. I go by NCS."
Toadette folded her arms, an odd expression on her face. "NCS... that sounds so familiar. What does it stand for?"
NCS chuckled. "Navigating Coordinated Secret. No one knows when I'm around, because I'm so good at being stealthy."
Toadette rubbed her right arm. "But why are you colored blue? It's just so odd to see a different colored Auroro..."
NCS shook his head as he replied, "I should have you know that I'm not related in anyway to those hooligans. I am my own Auroro."
Toadette smiled, sighing of relief. "Well, that's good to know... do yo think you could take me back to Mushroom Gorge?"
NCS lowered his eyes as he glanced down at Toadette. "I'm afraid not. If those Auroros find me, I'll be reduced to nothing but feathers. I'll be glad to take you to an alternate path."
Toadette nodded her head quickly. "Yes please! Anything to get away from those clowns!"
NCS stretched out his bluish wings, which were marked with yellow stripes, as he headed southeastward, heading over the towers of colorful lollipops. "All right, missy. Hold on, I'll take you through the Cookie Canyon."
Toadette gasped. "Cookie Canyon? Sounds great!" She then snapped her fingers, pointing up at NCS, "By the way, I'm Toadette."
NCS chuckled as he glanced back down at Toadette. "Charmed."
