A while later on, Cream, Cosmo and Cheese still continued their way down the Green Emerald Road, and they were passing a small farm which had a huge field of corn.

"Follow the road... follow the road..." Cosmo stopped, seeing the path split into two different directions, "Oh dear."

"Well, which way do we go now, Cosmo?" Cream asked.

"Chao?" Cheese asked.

"I'm not sure, Cream..." Cosmo looked down both paths, "Which one should we take?"

"Excuse me, but the first way seems safe."

Cosmo and Cream jolted turning to the voice but saw no one. No one that is, except a scarecrow in the corn field. Odd thing was, the scarecrow looked more like a yellow-orange fox that had bright baby-blue eyes, a white muzzle, two tails and he had on a brown hat with straw sticking out, a white long-sleeved shirt underneath a brown vest and gray old pants. He was pointing to the right.

"...Who just said that?" Cosmo asked, looking for the source of the person who spoke.

Cheese, looking freaked out; chaoed at the scarecrow fox, assuming something strange about the figure that stared blankly.

"It's okay, Cheese." Cream held him back, "You know that Scarecrows can't talk..."

"Or this way does nicely too."

The girls looked back at the scarecrow, who was oddly pointing to the left now.

"...or move." Cream finished, looking spooked.

"Wait a second; wasn't he pointing the other way?" Cosmo kept a close eye on the scarecrow...

"Otherwise, people can take both ways!" The scarecrow fox this time pointed with both arms down the two different paths, not even seeing he had been caught.

"It was you!" Cosmo pointed at him, walking up, "It was you who spoke, right?"

"Yes!" He suddenly shook his head, "No! Maybe!"

"Are you doing that to make fun of us, or can't you make up your mind?" Cream asked, walking up behind Cosmo with Cheese behind her.

The scarecrow fox sighed, "That's just the trouble, I can never make up my mind." He lifted a hand, "I haven't even got a brain. Only straw and fox fur. See?" He lifted his hat a little to prove his point.

"How can you talk if you have no brain?" Cosmo wanted to know.

The scarecrow fox seemed to pause and sighed, "I have no idea, but some people are known to do a lot of talking without brains, aren't they?"

"I suppose so..." Cosmo the smiled, "Well, we haven't met properly, have we now?"

"Not that I know, which I really don't." The scarecrow fox grinned.

Cosmo giggled, "I'm Cosmo."

"I'm Cream." Cream bowed, "This is Cheese."

"Chao-chao." Cheese nodded.

"I... don't have a name." The scarecrow fox frowned.

"You don't?" Cosmo asked.

"Nope."

"But what are you called by then?"

"Well, to be honest, people call me Scare-Fox." He said.

"Hello, Scare-Fox." Cosmo bowed.

"Hello, Cosmo and Cream." Scare-Fox nodded his head.

"How are you doing?" Cream added.

"Not very well." Scare-Fox groaned as he tried to reach behind him, "If only they did something rather then stick a stubborn pole up my back."

"Oh, that must be uncomfortable." Cosmo said, concerned.

"Can't you get down?" Cream asked.

"I wish I could, it's just so hard and..." Scare-Fox tried to reach behind him again.

"Oh, I can help." Cream said and stepped behind the pole.

"Gee, thanks." Scare-Fox smiled.

Cream looked but she then asked, "I don't think I can do this..."

Cosmo joined her and looked too, "So where do we...?"

"I may not be the brightest about doing these things. But if one of you just bent that nail in the back, I might slip off and..." He gestured to a long nail.

"I've got this." Cosmo pulled and at that same moment, Scare-Fox fell to the ground, laughing a bit as he gripped some hay that slipped out, "Some of me fell out again."

"Doesn't that hurt?" Cream asked.

"Nah, I just keep putting it back in again. Man, it's feels good to- WHOA!" Tripping over one of his tails, Scare-Fox tumbled to the side of the road as Cream and Cosmo joined him, helping him back up.

"Sorry, I must be new at this." Scare-Fox said.

"We are always new at certain things." Cosmo then sighed, "I'm sorry but we aren't really from around here, my friend and I came from Mobius."

"Mobius?" Scare-Fox asked, "Where's that?"

"It's where we live, and we're both going to the Silver Palace to find help from the Wizard of Oz." Cream nodded.

"You girls are seeing a wizard?" Scare-Fox asked.

"Yes, but if you wanted you could join us, and he could give you the brains you really need." Cosmo said.

Scare-Fox looked down, "I'm not sure exactly..."

"I don't know, Cosmo." Cream said, "We have the Dark Wizard on our trail and Scare-Fox might get in trouble."

"D-W?" Scare-Fox scoffed, "I ain't afraid of D-W. I ain't afraid of anything...well, except lighted matches." He pointed to his fur.

"I don't blame you for it." Cosmo said.

"I don't either." Cream added.

"Chao!" Cheese nodded.

"Well, I might as well face a box of them for getting the chance of brains." Scare-Crow looked at Cosmo and Cream, "Listen, I won't try to be much help cause I can't think, and I won't be so much trouble due to I can't sleep or eat." He then asked, "Please, can you both take me with you?"

Cosmo and Cream looked at each other nodded and smiled as Cosmo spoke, "Yes, we can."

"Yay!" Scare-Fox jumped up, "We're off to see a Wizard!" He almost stumbled but the girls caught him.

"You're not starting off very well." Cream said.

"It's okay, I can handle it." Scare-Fox said, "To Oz?"

"To Oz!" Cosmo and Cream giggled.

And soon, the trio was heading down the right path of the Green Emerald Road to the Silver Palace of Oz.
