A/N: I wrote this last year and got my FF.net account after Christmas, so
I didn't post it. I'm not going to have a computer in a while, so I'm
posting it early. Enjoy!

White Elephant Gift Exchange (The Preparations)
Ceroberos, guardian beast of the seal, didn't know what to think. So he just repeated what he had just heard. "White elephant gift exchange? Ok. I'll be there." Would you believe that's how it started? It was Christmas time, and the gang was going to have a party. A white elephant gift exchange party. Sakura had just invited him, and he had accepted, because she had said that there would be ice cream, cake, punch, and (yes, you guessed it,) PUDDING!!!!!! So of course he had agreed; no question. Even though he didn't need to eat, he loved to. But if he ever told Sakura that he didn't need to eat, then he could hear her words as clearly as if she was speaking them. 'What?!?! You don't need to eat?!?! No more pudding for you ever!' But where would he get a good gift for this party?

Kero looked at the box he had just finished wrapping. It looked good, if he did say so himself. He had finally decided on a present, just one hour before the party. 'Ha!!! This will show them,' he thought. They had all asked him if he could handle it. None of them thought he could.
**Flashback**
"Kero, do you know what a white elephant gift exchange is?" Asked a 13 year old Syaoran Li. It had been a few years since the end of Sakura's transforming the cards. Syaoran had moved back to town one year ago, and Meiling was here for Christmas too. Eriol and his guardians were here since the beginning of the school year. Sakura and the gaki had started dating a couple months ago (with some coaxing from Eriol and Tomoyo,) and he knew of their plans to get back at them by getting them together. In fact, he was in on them. "What do you mean, 'Do you know what a white elephant gift exchange is?!?!' of course I know!" With that, Kero flew off and left the gaki behind.

That Li kid didn't have much faith in him. But that was to be expected. Of course, he wasn't the only person to ask.
**Flashback**
"Hey, stuffed animal! Do you even know what a white elephant gift exchange is?" But before he could answer, Meiling Li answered for him. "Of course you don't. HA!! Why don't you go ask your mistress?!" And before he could respond, Meiling ran from the room. Just then Touya walked in. "Hey Kero." Yes, he now knew about the cards, and so did his father. "Why don't you go ask Sakura what a white elephant gift exchange is? She'll tell you, if you need to know." With this, Kero returned to his true form and shouted, "I KNOW WHAT A WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE IS!! YOU'RE THE THIRD PERSON TO ASK ME AND I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT I KNOW!!!" With that, a very steamed Ceroberos left the room.
**End Flashback**
Kero could hardly wait for the party to start. He had quite a while left to consider things that he didn't want to consider.
**Flashback**
"Hey Kero, I've got new matching outfits for you and Sakura for the Christmas party. They're going to look so kawaii on you!!!" Yep. Tomoyo. She had this really frilly ribbon in her hands. Suddenly, before Ceroberos, guardian beast of the seal could resist, Tomoyo snatched him out of thin air, and tied the ribbon around his neck. "There!! Don't you look perfect?!?! Now, all you have to do is go ask Sakura what a white elephant gift exchange is!" Kero decided that 'Little Miss Bubble Brain' wouldn't understand who he was and why he automatically knew what this white elephant gift exchange was without anyone having to tell him. She especially wouldn't understand why he WAS NOT going to wear this ribbon, so he didn't even bother explaining this and transformed into his true form to tear the ribbon to shreds. "Oh!!!! That's a great idea!!! I'll make an outfit for your true form!!! Kawaii!!!" Kero just sweatdropped, and left the room.
**End Flashback**
Believe it or not, that wasn't the worst part. Even his own brother and mistress had doubted his knowledge! Oh, the horror of it all!
**Flashback**
Kero and Yue were sitting on the roof, watching the night sky. Yue had said that he wanted to talk to him, but he had yet to say a word. Finally, just when Kero was going to go get some pudding, Yue said, "You do know the meaning of a white elephant gift exchange, don't you?" Kero was stunned at this. They sat there another ten minutes in silence, before Kero finally came to his senses. "OF COURSE I KNOW WHAT IT IS!!! I AM CEROBEROS, GUARDIAN BEAST OF THE SEAL!!!" With that, he flew back into the house. When he got there, Sakura was sitting in bed, rubbing her eyes. "Kero? What are you doing outside? It's past two in the morning." Yue wanted to talk to me." He responded casually. "Oh. .... Do you know what a white elephant gift exchange is? We were all just wondering if you knew." At this Kero almost started to cry. Not even his mistress had confidence in him. "Why does nobody have any faith in me anymore?" He said. With this Kero sniffled, and went to bed.
**End Flashback**
"This will show them all!!" Kero said as he flew off to the party.
