Whoppie! Chapter two is up! It's a tad bit longer than the first one, but I'm sure you can handle it. The next chapter will most probably be the last, as I can not find a way to strecht the story out any longer. Eh heh. Anyways, R&R please, but don't flame me!

CH.2-- Sakura decieves...

"I'm hoooome!"

Sakura closed the front door behind her, then glanced about the empty house. Oh, that's right, she remembered, Dad's still at work and Toya's studying over at Yukito's place. Which meant that Kero...

"I'm home Kero-chan!" Sakura popped her head into the kitchen to see the "guardian beast" chowing down on leftover takoyaki from last night's dinner. Startled, he nearly dropped his food, but quickly reccovered when he saw who it was.

"Mhhfa Saggrummha." He said, mouth full with as much takoyaki he could possibly fit in there at once. Sakura made a face and shook her head.

"Ew... Look, I'll be in my room. Come up when you're done okay?" He nodded his big yellow head and went on to stuff his face with more food.

Sakura went to her room, leaving the door cracked open so Kero wouldn't have trouble getting in, and plopped her bag down on her bed. She pulled out the pixie doll and held it out in front of her. "Wonder what Kero will think." She said to herself. Then, a brilliant idea formed in her mind.

Well, it seemed brilliant at the time, anyways.

----------------------------------

"Ah..." Kero fluttered into the room. "That really hit the spot." He puased in mid-air, noticing that the room was empty. Where was Sakura? Certainly not in her closet, clutching a remote and mircophone, grinning myschieviously while peeking through the cracked door. Kero shrugged, thinking maybe she had taken a side trip to the bathroom and hadn't come up yet. He flew down and dropped onto her big, compfy bed. That's when he heard an unfamilar yet strangley adorable voice come from behind.

"Hiya friend! How do you do?"

Kero jerked around and nearly fell backwards at the site of a purple bunny-thing with wings waving a nubby little arm at him. "Wha... Who the heck are you! How'd you get in here!" He demanded, startled for the second time that day.

In the closet, Sakura clamped a hand over her mouth to keep her laughter from escaping. He actually thought the toy was a real person! Or real creature. She didn't think he'd actually fall for it! Oh, this was great. She swallowed her giggles and lifted the mike back to her mouth. She spoke quitely and the toy on her bed repeated the words.

"I'm Princess Piki, and I come from the world of pixies. I came here...for vacation." Sakura couldn't think of a better reply on such short notice. Besides, Kero would figure it out now. Right?

Wrong. "Wow, you're a pixie! I didn't think they'd look like that. Um, not that there's anything wrong with the way you look." He quickly added, and it looked to Sakura that he was blushing. Of course, it was hard to tell considering that he was covered in yellow fur. "Wow. A pixie... So you came here for vacation, eh?"

Oh man, this was too much. Sakura felt ready to burst into a fit of laughter. She lowered the mike and grabbed a jacket off a hanger to bury her head in, to muffle her laughter. Then, grinning ear to ear, she took a deep breathe and picked the mike up.

"Why yes. I heard that Earth was a nice place." There was a short pause, then, "So...what's...your name?"

"I'm Keroberos." Kero replied, thinking Piki was perhaps feeling shy now, but in truth it was just Sakura having trouble keeping her own voice steady. The whole thing was just so hilairous. Maybe it was time for her to jump out of the closet and yell 'Gotcha!' now, but she found that she was having too much fun and kept going.

Kero and "Piki" chatted about this and that, mostly Kero asking her questions and Sakura, from her secret hideout, giving him bizarre answers. According to Piki/Sakura, Pixie Land was cloud-shaped, magical, and full of sprites and mermaids and unicorns. After all this, you'd think Kero would finally get it, finally realize it was all a joke. But he didn't. He was too busy gazing at Piki and hanging onto her every word, not concerned about the strangeness of it all. Sakura wasn'tlaughing anymore. She was worried. Kero was acting so weird! As she was just about to come out and explain, Kero blinked and suddenly shouted, "Sakura!"

Whew. He knows. Maybe he knew all along and was just humoring me?

"Ya hafta meet my friend Sakura, Piki! Hang on and I'll go get her!"

Guess not.

This was definitely not good. As soon as Kero flew out of the room, Sakura scrambled out of the closet. She didn't even think; she just shoved Pixie Princess Piki back into the bag, tossed it in the closet and made sure to completey shut it this time, grabbed a Clow card and threw open her window. "FLY!" She yelled, and angel-like wings appeared from her back so she could safely drop down to the front yard below her. Once her feet touched the ground, they dissapeared and she tucked the card into her pocket. Then she rushed through the front door, just in time to run into Kero. "Hey Kero-chan. Sorry I took so long, I was just out getting the mail." She winced as she realized she held no mail, but Kero didn't seem to even heard what she said.

"Guess what Sakura!" He said excitedly, "There's a princess in your room! Her name's Piki and she's a pixie and she's here on vacation and-" He rambled on about things Sakura already knew, and he took her hand and pulled her towards her room. She let him lead her, guilt and worry seeping through her fast. She could tell what that look on his face meant now. And it wasn't a good thing, not in this situation.

I'll never play a prank on anyone again, for as long as I live.

Sakura meant it too, but it didn't help with the current problem.
