Emmett

"Oh come on guys!" I wined, handing each of the little lollipops to every one of my siblings. "It will be fun. And we can finally answer the question that has been going on for a while now!"

Bella just giggled, looking at the expression of all of her almost-sblings.

"Please Emmett, you expect us to eat...Eat...Dirt?" Edward asked, holding up the wrapped candy to his face. No we weren't eating dirt. We were conducting an expirement to see how many licks it took to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.

'It's not dirt."

"Emmett! What are you doing! You are trying to make us eat human food! This stuff is disgusting," Rosalie replied. What, it's not that bad...Well okay, maybe it is.

"Oh Rose, quit it. Just try it. How about we'll make this fun. Whoever can count how many licks it takes to get to the center, i'll give them fifty bucks. How about it?" I suggest, slapping a bill on the table. Good thing I got cash today.

If it something was going to hit the floor at this moment, it would most likely be Bella's mouth. Her's dropped open the milisecond her eyes saw the bill on the table. She opened them at vampire speed. "Is that a lot of cash for you Bella?"

"Emmett! Are you kidding me, that's like, a lot of cash! Why are you putting out this much anyways!?" She asked, staring at me like I was crazy. That look was what most of the kids at school looked at me at.

Edward turned to look at her. "Love, this is not a lot of cash. Just lick the lollypop and you get the cash."

"But it's Emmett's! I can't do that." Oh please Bella, I just wanna know how many licks it takes. Just do it for the money! Do it for me!

"Yeah you can Bella. Teach Emmett a lesson since he is giving out money," Rose stated. Hey, I thought you were on my side!

"Well, just lick the candy!" I stated.

"Fine Emmett, you win," Jasper stated, feeling everyone's feelings in the room. Yes!

"Wait. We'll all lick the stinkin human food, but then whoever finish it first wins the cash," Alice stated, giving me a look. Wait, then we would be done like really soon.

"How about human speed, please," Bella stated.

"Yes, let's do it for the human," I added, smirking. Bella gave me a look. Edward gave me one too. Oh please, Edward protects her too much. Let her do some things on her own, will yeah?

"Fine, ready?" Rosalie stated. She was ticked no doubt.

"Go!"

I unwrapped my brown colored lollypop. For about three seconds, all I heard was the unwrapping of the lollypops. There were different colors too. I got the chocolate flavor, I remember that flavor when I was human. It was delicious. Alice got raspberrry, Jasper got orange, Rose got chocolate, Bella and Edward got raspberry.

I licked it. Ewww, this didn't taste like chocolate. It tasted disgusting. Well, that was one lick. "One," I said outloud.

My siblings gave me a look. Bella was still silently counting how many licks she had done already. I licked the chocolate lolly again. "Two."

"Emmett stop counting out loud," Alice stated. She gave me another look.

Jasper unwillingly took a look of the candy and made a face. "Bella, how do you eat this stuff?" We all turned to look at her.

She took another look, and silently said the number. "What? It's good. Candy is nice and sweet, I can't imagine what it would taste like to you though."

Alice took a lick of hers and made a face. "Yeah, you just can't imagine."

Edward was licking the lollypop, not really paying attention. He was reading all of our minds, trying to find out our opinions on my game. No doubt it all annoyed them, but you have to have fun once in a while!

"Oh Rose, it's not that bad. Just think about it, you are making Emmett happy," Edward said quitely. It was almost too quiet, that I almost couldn't hear it. Now that is weird.

"I know, but my husband is so silly sometimes. He knows that these things taste horrible for us."

I decided not to listen anymore and just continue what we were doing. "Three."

"Emmett!" Bella screamed at me. Uh oh, the human is getting mad.

"Emmett, stop counting out loud! It's messing all of us up, you idiot! And I don't think you wanna know what happens if we get mad because of you...Again!" Alice warned, growling. Okay, little pixie vampire-Scary.

Bella, Alice, and Jasper gave me a look that said shut-up. Four. Five. Okay, saying it in my head was boring. "Six."

"Emmett!" All of my siblings, including Bella, screamed at me. I just smirked at them, and kept on licking. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. How long does it take to get to the center of this thing?

"How many licks did everyone take?" Rose asked, taking a lick of her pop.

I licked the candy once again. "Eleven. How many did you guys take?"

"Thirteen," Jasper replied.

"Seventy-three," Edward answered. What the heck? I thought we said no vampire speed! I think he is cheating, which he usually is.

"Seven," Alice added.

"Forty-eight," Bella said. What? The human had more than us and her boyfriend was in the lead! Were they trying to out lick us by any chance?

"Eighteen," Rose finally ended.

"Edward, your cheating!" I stated. Twelve. Thirteen. Fourteen.

Edward looked at me. "No I'm not. I'm just trying to win the money for my love. And tasting something disgusting is a small price to pay for the cash on the table." He took three more licks.

All around us, vampires and human, were licking the lollypops to win the my cash that was calling their name. Of course Bella paid no attention to any of us because she was too determined winning the cash that was apparently a lot to her. So she just kept on licking the candy that actually tasted good to her.

I don't know how long I had been thinking, but I was on my one hundred and seventy-second lick. Wow. I think we have been sitting here for at least a half an hour. The lollypops had been slowly licked away, and some of them already showed the centers. No doubt they had licked way more than I did, because mine was halfway through.

"Look, I got to the center of the lollypop," Edward exclaimed, showing us that he had gotten through the candy outside and reached the chocolate goo on the inside.

"How many licks did it take?" I asked.

"Four hundred and twenty-one licks."

"Wow," Bella stated.

"Well, looks like Edward gets your money. And we have terrible tastes in our mouths," Alice stated, running into the kitchen to most likely spit out the taste.

Edward happily took the cash from the table and gave it to Bella. She refused, but after a while she took it.

I got up to see if Alice was done spitting and Jasper was there with her. "How about we just go hunting to get the taste out of our mouths?" Jasper asked.

"Yeah." They both went outside and took off.

I was still determined to see how many licks it took though. I doubt it took that many. When I got back I stared at the place where my lollypop used to be.

Instead was a pile of dirt. What the heck?

There was a note next to the pile of earth.

I thought you told Edward we weren't going to be eating dirt?

-Rose

P.S. Eat it and I'll give you fifty bucks.
