Ch. 3 Kero-chan falls...

"What?"

"Kero! He fell. In love. With the Piki doll."

"You're kidding right?"

"No." Sakura sighed. "He thought the doll was real and now he has a crush on it and he thinks he's going on date tonight and it's all my fualt!" She cried.

"Hey, it's not your fualt the stuffed animal is stupid enough to-" Syaoran began but Tomoyo cut him off. She knew he was only trying to cheer Sakura up but she figured he might make it worse.

"Okay Sakura, take a deep breath and tell us everything that happend."

Sakura nodded. "Alright." She sounded weary. "I thought I'd prank Kero with the doll, so I left it on the bed and hid in my closet. I moved it around and made it talk and stuff, and he actually fell for it. Then he went to get me, and I paniced. I hid the doll and flew out the window and went around back inside. Kero was all excited and took me back up to my room to show me, but then..."

--Begin Flashback--

"Hey Piki-chan, I'd like to introduce you to my good friend Sa-" Kero jolted to a halt, noticing the empty bed. "Piki-chan? Where are ya? Princess Piki!" He called, but there was no response. He went down to the bed and looked around feverishly. Sakura quietly walked into her room and stared down at the ground.

I should tell him.

"Pikiiii!" Kero called again, lifting a pillow up and looking underneath it.

Just tell him.

"Princess Piki?" He paused, scratching his head, wondering where she could have went.

Gaah! Why can't I just tell him!

She glanced up, realizing Kero was no longer searching. He was sitting by the open window now, open from when Sakura made her escape, and gazing at the sky with a rueful expression. "I guess... I guess she left." He said, mainly to himself, "But I didn't get to say good-bye. Maybe she didn't like me...maybe she thought I was dumb or annoying or..." He let out a loud sigh and looked away from the window. Sakura watched in shock. She had never seen Kero-chan so sad since that time the power went out while he was playing his video game and deleted his save file. She was struck with guilt at the thought that she was the cause of his sadness.

"Uhh...was this princess small and purple? With a little silver crown?" She asked, not really thinking again. All she wanted was to make him feel better.

Kero's small eyes found her huge ones. "Yeah..."

"And long ears? And a cotton tail?"

Kero nodded so hard his head was on the urge of falling off. "That's her! That's Piki-chan!"

"I, uh, ran into her when I was getting the mail. She said she had a, um, an emergency and had to leave." Still not thinking things through, "She told me to tell you that..that she really had fun, and it was nice meeting you, and uh, she really wanted to see you again, but now she has to go-"

"She's wants to see me again?" Kero exclaimed, his whole face lit with joy. "When? Today? Tommorow?"

"Uh, I didn't say she-"

"At the park right? She really wanted to see the park, ya know. Ahh! But what should I do? Should I bring food? A gift maybe?"

"Uh, Kero, I don't think-"

"Oh man, I gotta get ready! Tommorow night, right? Yeah, then I got just enough time... Great! I'll see ya later, okay?" Before she could stop him, Kero took off through the window and zoomed away to who-knows-where.

"Pwhee!" Sakura hung her head. How did this happen?

--End Flashback--

"He completely twisted my words around and thinks he's going on a date tonight!" Sakura was at a loss. What would she do now?

"I can't believe it... The stuffed animal has a crush...on a stuffed animal." Syaoran's face was screwed up and you could see he was biting his lip. "Excuse me." He said, going off the sidewalk and behind a tree. A sudden burst of laughter erupted. A moment later, Syaoran walked back up to them, forcing a grin down and trying to look serious. "So, uh, what are you going to do about it?"

"I don't know. I want to tell him the truth but I just can't. It would break his heart. But if I don't say anything he'll go and be stood up and feel even worse." She look to Tomoyo for help.

"I think..." Tomoyo said slowly, "I think I may have a plan."

And so, chapter three comes to an end! Tell me what ya think, 'kay? The finale is up next!
