How Many Licks does it Take?

Director: " Okay Miaka. Do you understand your job?"

Miaka: "Yeah! I'm supposed to find out how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop. I get as many tootsie pops as licks the person tells me. This will be easy!"

Director: (sigh) "That's what the last kid said. Get going, and good luck to you!"

( Miaka skips off.) " Poor kid doesn't know what she's getting into."

Miaka is skipping along a forest rail, when she suddenly spots Hotohori. Wasting no time, she ran over to him.

" Hey Hotohori! What are you doing out here?" Hotohori turned towards Miaka with flourish. " I am merely admiring how beautiful I am." " Oh. Hey Hotohori, would you do me a favor?" " I'd do anything for you Miaka-san. You know that," he chastened. Miaka smiled up at him. " Would you tell me how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?" " Of course. Only, I've never counted before." Miaka handed him a red wrapped pop. " You can use this one." " Why thank you Miaka."

Hotohori delicately unwrapped the candy and carefully set the paper upon a nearby tree stump. He then slowly licked the pop, as he eyed it warily. " One," his tenor voice rang out. Miaka encouraged him on. " Two," he counted, getting bolder by the lick. Miaka leaned forward in anticipation as Hotohori gave her a sideways glance.

" Byemiakaigottarun!" Miaka stood there puzzling what he said. " Bye Mia Kai got two run. No that's not right. Bye Mia ka. Bye Miaka! Igotta run. What? I got to run? Bye Miaka! I got to run. BYE MIAKA, I GOT TO RUN!! What!!! Hotohori come back! I need to know how many licks it takes." The only sign that Hotohori was even there, was the kicked up dust cloud. " I wonder why he ran away? Oh well. I'll find someone else."

Miaka continued to skip until she reached a pond. That pond wasn't what stopped her though. It was the figure sitting beside it.

" NURIKO! WHY ARE YOU SITTING BY YOURSELF?!!" Annoyed, Nuriko turned around. " BECAUSE I WANT TO MIAKA-CHAN!!!" Miaka smiled. " Oh that's nice Nuriko." Nuriko waited for her to continue. " Would you do something for me? Please Nuriko?" " What is it," Nuriko grumbled. " All I need is for you to tell me how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop." " Okay," Nuriko said slowly, as if he were being trapped. Miaka handed him the tootsie pop and waited for him to start counting.

He unwrapped it slowly, before taking one tentative lick. " One," he voiced softly. He stood up and stood on Miaka's left side. " Two," he counted as his eyes lit up with the beginnings of a sugar high.

Suddenly, his eyes grew large as he looked over Miaka's head. " Miaka! What's that thing over there?" When Miaka swiveled around to look, she saw nothing. " Where Nuriko? Where? Where?" " Over there Miaka no baka. Let me show you," he said with a manic edge to his voice. He then proceeded to push her in the direction. As you all have probably guessed, Miaka fell into the cold pond, and Nuriko took off. By the time she floundered back to land, there was no trace of the braided warrior to be found.

" Nuriko? What was it? Where are you Nuriko? Nuriko?" Miaka's voice became slightly cracked with hysteria. " I need to- I need to know. I have to know. Nuriko don't- don't you see? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop," she yelled. Tamahome popped up. " The world may never know." Her lower lip trembled as she headed back to the director's base.

Nuriko ran haphazardly into the woods. Not one minute later, he spotted Hotohori not to far away. " Hotohori-sama." The young emperor looked up like a deer caught in traffic. Nuriko wondered about this, until he saw the pop sticking guiltily from his mouth. " Did Miaka-san give you that?" The two started their slow walk back to the palace. " In a way she did," he answered evasively. Hotohori glanced at Nuriko. " What about you?" Nuriko shrugged. " Yeah. She gave it to me." He smiled darkly.

The two warriors looked at each other, both with a pop in their mouth, and smirked. " We bad," Hotohori said. " Yeah, we bad Hotohori-sama," Nuriko agreed. They continued to make their way to the palace.

A wet Miaka met up with the director not 10 minutes later.

Miaka: Don't I get some pops?

Director: Nope.

Miaka: But-but…

Director: I told you it wouldn't be easy. Now get out of here.

Miaka's shoulders slumped as she slowly walked away. The director turned to one of her assistants. " Bring in Chiriko."

Chiriko walks in.

Director: Do you know what to do kid?

He nodded.

Director: I'll see you. Good luck!

Chiriko walks off the set and around the corner.

Chiriko: Forget this. I'll find out for myself.

He then proceeded to unwrap and lick the Tootsie Pop…

Ten minutes later, he reported back to the director, with a count of 100.

……

Dum dum dum…….

Narrator: What will happen to the Tootsie Pop business?

Tasuki: The world may never know. So there!
