"Okay Einstein, how is Minka's mother not going to notice it's her daughter?" Said Li.

            "With a little polishing up and a wig, that will clearly do the trick." Said Sakura.

            "And what about the part if they don't agree to this."

            "Well we go to plan B."

            "Which is…."

            "Um, I'll have to check on that."

Sakura was at Li's house getting prepared for tomorrow night. "Sakura do you think we are going to pull this off? I mean, I have serious doubts about this."

            "Don't worry Li, it will be fine. Now I need you to convince Minka and I'll do away with my bro. He's easy."

            "Fine, but if I get in trouble…"

            "You won't." Sakura assured him. "Now lets be off."

            It took hours to convince Touya but he gave in. Then it was Minka's turn.

            "Your mom teaches Kero in her choir class and she's coming over to dinner at his place. But the only problem is, that his parents are never around and it will be an honor to him if someone will substitute as his parents."

            "Okay, who are you? And is this some kind of joke?" she spoke coldly at Li, leering at him.

            "No it's not a joke. The poor guy is lonesome. And I'm his best friend."

            "But why me? I would never lie to my mother."

            "Well there's something in it for you."

            "Like what?" she crossed her arms.

            "A date with Touya." At the sound of his name Minka turned pink. "You mean the Touya Kinomoto? The most handsomest, popular, and sweet guy in my high school 3 years ago?"

            "Yeah and he would surely enjoy meeting you. So how about it. Be Kero's mom for the night and trick your mother. Then it would be over before you know it."

            "One question?"

            "What?"

            "My mom knows who I am."

            "Don't worry, your dress makeup is at Sakura's house."

            "Fine, so who's the dad?"

            "Touya."

            I found out great news about the dinner plan. It wasn't going to be a disaster after all. Minka decided to do it and Touya gave in after many hours of whining and bugging from Sakura. He said that he was doing it cause he felt sorry for me. (Yeah right) He practically gave in at the mention of Minka. Now all we have to do is wait till tomorrow. Anyways Tomoyo came over and asked why we were at Ms. Keno's house last night. Sakura excused it, as if they could know their music grade. Tomoyo did'nt believe it, but shook it off.

            "Kero after all that work for you, you should pay me back. I'm so tired." Sakura slumped into a kitchen chair and closed her eyes. "It took all day to convince my brother, but he agreed to do it once I mentioned Minka's name." Sakura chuckled to herself and began slowly falling asleep

            "Well at least I have a mother and father now." Said Kero happily.

Sunday Night At 7

            Minka stared at herself in the bathroom mirror and gave an amused smile at her look. She was wearing a red wig, some heavy makeup and some red dots on her face to make it look like she had freckles. "My mom will not notice me in this attire, will she?" Sakura and Li nodded proudly at their accomplishment.

            "And I seriously can't believe you made me do this. Fake out my mother just because some kid don't have any parents. You know you got me on that, but next time…." Kero poked his head in the bathroom door. "Guys will you hurry up? Mrs. Keno's on her way and…" Kero's voice trailed off as he saw the once mean looking Minka, turned into some freckled face geek. He tried not to laugh, but it came out anyways. "Minka you look weird."

            "Oh hush, I'm practically a mother." She headed out the bathroom, followed by Li and Sakura. "So Sakura whats for dinner?" asked Li. Sakura smiled. "We are gonna serve a Mexican dish."

            "Mexican?"

            "Yeah, um Tacos." Sakura said. "And I hope Mrs. Keno would like it. They got to the dinning room, where Touya was at straightening his tie. He had fake mustache on, to disguise himself.  "How much am I getting for this again?" he said to Sakura. Before she could answer the bell ranged. Everyone was in panic, but Kero quiet them down. "Everyone shut up. Now Sakura and Li, you're stationed in the kitchen to prepare the supper and Minka and Touya greet the lady at the door now!"  They did as told.

            Li and Sakura entered the taco smelling kitchen. "I hope we can pull this off Sakura." Said Li, getting out a tray.

            "Li don't worry, it will be just dandy, now where are those shells."

            "Hello Mr. And Mrs. Beros." Said Mrs. Keno shaking hands with them. Touya and Minka smiled uneasily and let her in. Mrs. Keno's face brightened. "It's a nice house you got here." Minka cleared her throat and starting speaking in a French accent. "Well, we love to decorate." Mrs. Keno nodded. "Well, where's that wonderful son of yours?" Touya scanned the living room, for Kero. "Kero! Kero!" he called in a deep voice.

            All of a sudden Kero came rushing down stairs. "Yeah? Oh hi Mrs., keno! Nice to meet ya." He took her hand abruptly and began to shake it. "Mom and Dad I forgot that MY music teacher was coming over for…um.."

            "Dinner!" put in Minka.

            "Dinner, yeah that's it." Mrs. Keno pulled her hand away and gave Kero a weird look. "Nice to meet you too, again my wonderful student."

            "Enough of these introductions, lets eat." Said Minka. She led them to the dining room table. The plates and silverware were all set up. They all sat down.

            "So Mrs. Beros how did you create such a gifted child?" Minka exchanged glances with Touya and then looked back at her mother. "Well that was easy, get in bed and well you know the rest…" Minka laughed to herself, and Touya blushed. Kero felt embarrassed.

            "I ment his talent." Said Mrs. Keno. Minka stopped laughing, "Oh, singing? Well we gave him singing lessons."

            "Yeah, my mom forced me to sing that is." Cut in Kero, trying to make him feel like the family. "But I guess it grew on me." Then Mrs. Keno gazed over at Touya who was being awfully quiet. "How about you sir, what do you think about your son and all. You know he is a great singer."

            "Yes I know. He's wonderful."

            "When we had that music concert, how come I did'nt see you two there?" Touya looked over at Minka, who was nervously tapping her spoon on her glass. Touya cleared his throat again. "Because I had to go to Asia." He said. Kero gave him a huge glare and shook his head.

            "What do you think your doing?" he mouthed. Touya ignored him. "On a Safari! And I went all over the place. My wife, is a um…"

            "I'm a life guard!" said Minka. "I had to work late, sorry."

            I hope she's buying this, thought Kero humiliatingly. Mrs. Keno nodded slowly, not understanding one bit. "I see."

            "Oh, and your probably wondering where's dinner." Minka elbowed Touya in the stomach. "Oh, honey won't you get the tacos."

            "Fine." Touya got up and rushed into the kitchen.

Kitchen

            "I can't go back out there you guys. That teacher is a mad lady! All those questions, so little time. Being a father is hard." Touya rubbed his temples and slumped to the floor. "How much was this again?" Li chuckled and knelt down beside Touya. "The price was Minka and you better do this job or we won't help you get with her." Sakura took her brothers collar and hauled him up. "Now take this tray of tacos and serve them, Kay? Don't spill and act normal."

            "Alright." Touya wiped his sweaty hands and took the tray. He headed out.

Dining Room

            "You smell awfully familiar Mrs. Beros." Said Mrs. Keno sniffing the air peculiarly. "You smell like my daughters perfume." Minka shook her head. "No way, I don't smell like Minka….I ment your daughter!"

            "Funny, so Kero be honest, Are you having fun with Tomoyo? Seems like a crush is growing," Kero raised his eyebrows. "Having fun alright." He mumbled. "And NO I have no crush on her." He saw Touya waltz in with the tray of tacos. He licked his lips. "Finally dinner, lets get this over with."
