Part 3

Scene 10

(Hikaru walks around the castle. Meanwhile, Eagle is walking through a "secret passage", chewing a candy bar. Behind him, Zazu is taking his time walking through the passage.)

Hikaru: (sees Eagle) Oh, Eagle! I need to speak with you.

(Eagle swallows candy bar whole and tosses wrapper onto Zazu by accident. He then shoves the wall shut, accidentally squishing Zazu as he tried to walk through.)

Eagle: Oh, Hikaru!

Zazu: (suffocating) Ack! Eagle, I'm stuck! Eagle!

Eagle: How may I help you today?

Zazu: Eagle, I can't breath. EAGLE!

Eagle: (kicks Zazu and shoves wall closed) Is there something puzzling you?

Hikaru: The guards just arrested Lan – I mean a young man from the market. Do you happen to know what happened to him? And were you chewing a candy bar? That's illegal, you know.

Eagle: (innocently) Um, of course not! I would never so such illegal things!

Hikaru: (mutters) Yeah right. Eagle, the guards just arrested a boy from the market. Since you're head of keeping peace of Chizeta, do you happen to know where he is?

Zazu: (mumbles painfully from secret passage) Of course Eagle would know. He's the one who arrested him.

Hikaru: What?

(Eagle kicks the wall. In the background everyone could hear loud curses.)

Eagle: (laughs nervously) I have know clue on where the –

Lafarga: (walks in) Hey, Eagle, ready to execute orders on that brat from the market place.

Hikaru: O-e?

Eagle: What brat?

Lafarga: You know, the one I just arrested. The one who was with Princess Hikaru.

Eagle: (sweatdrop) Thanks a lot, Lafarga. You've just blown my cover!

Lafarga: (raises thumbs up) You're welcome! (leaves room)

Hikaru: WHAT?! What was his crime?

Eagle: (laughs nervously) Well you see, he was…um…he…well…he was chewing on a candy bar!

Hikaru: No! That could only mean –

Eagle: Unfortunately, yes. He will have to undergo the…(says slowly) Chocolate Test!

Hikaru: What horror – wait a minute. What's the Chocolate Test?

Eagle: He has to try out Zazu's and Geo's cooking.

Hikaru: No! How could you? (runs away from Eagle)

(Zazu shoves open the wall and weakly crawls towards Eagle.)

Zazu: Damn you, Eagle! It took me forever to open that stupid wall!

Eagle: Calm yourself, Zazu. At least you got out.

Zazu: (mutters) Barely. So, how did it go with Hikaru?

Eagle: I think she took it…erm…rather well.
