39-Hannah Montana

Peep opened his bedroom door and yelled, "What?" at his big brother.

"Lemme see that cape!" Oskar believed it made Peep invisible. He knew what he saw or didn't see.

Peep took a deep breath untied the cape and handed it to Oskar.

Oskar felt the silky purple material. It didn't feel like a costume. "Where'd you get this thing anyhow?"

Peep had to be very careful. Oskar knew all of Peep's friends. If he said he got it from Tommy Bock from down the block no doubt Oskar would double check.

Peep stammered, "I... uh... "

Oskar mimicked Peep, "I... uh... what?"

"My girlfriend made it for me." Peep wasn't lying.

Oskar didn't buy it. "You're girlfriend? Please... I'm thirteen and I don't have a girlfriend."

Peep shrugged his shoulders and said, "Some have it and some don't."

Oskar punched Peep in his other arm then he insisted, "You better tell me where you got this cape or else."

Peep knew a bluff when he saw one. "Or else what? If you punch me again I'll tell mom."

Oskar understood. Peep didn't bluff. As Oskar tied the cape around his neck he asked, "What's the real reason you don't wanna tell me where you got this thing?"

Peep smirked. "A magician never reveals his sources."

Oskar clicked his tongue. "A magician! Ha!" Then he started clucking like a chicken. He pranced around Peep's room doing the best chicken impression Peep had ever seen.

Cluck, cluck cluck... Squawwwwwk!

Oskar stuck his chin out, flapped his elbows and pecked at the ground.

Peep fell over on his bed and laughed until he cried. "What did Locket do to the cape?" He wondered. Then a random thought flew through his mind, "I think I wanna marry her." He shook his head like at Etch-a-sketch to get rid of intruding thought. After he tired of Oskar's rooster antics he untied the cape.

Once the cape lifted from Oskar's shoulders he instantly stopped clucking then ran out of the room screaming, "I'm telling MOM!"

Peep locked the door behind him and said aloud, "Locket what did you do?"

In a flash Locket appeared before him and asked, "I may have tweaked the magic cape ever so slightly."

Astounded Peep asked, "Tweaked the magic slightly? He clucked like a chicken on steroids!"

"Well..." Locket zipped from side to side. "He behaved like a bully. Bullies are chickens and therefore..."

Peep objected, "Locket we're trying to be incognito here."

Locket asked, "In COG who?"

Peep explained, "Incognito is sort of like undercover. We don't want Oskar to know about you. If he does pretty soon the whole soccer team will!"

Locket ignored Peep's concerns. "You should come to a game of Fairy Football. It's much more exciting in the air!"

Peep watched Locket pantomiming Fairy Football. Until a magical fairy-sized soccer ball appeared before her. The ball resembled a disco ball more than a soccer ball.

Peep became impatient. "Could we be serious for just a moment?"

The disco ball disappeared. Locket flew in front of Peep's face and asked, "Fairies are always serious but we disguise it very well."

Peep rolled his eyes and blurted, "I'll say..."

Locket sat on Peep's right shoulder and asked, "You'll say what?"

Peep took a deep breath and said, "Locket we need to talk."

She became hysterical and shot up into the air. "YOU'RE BREAKING UP WITH ME?"

Peep stood up and tried catching Locket with his hands but each time he had her in his grasp she slipped away. "Locket stop! I'm not breaking up with you!"

Suddenly Locket stopped flitting about. She plopped down onto Peep's Harry Potter themed pillowcase frightening poor Hello cat. The poor thing ran under the bed. Locket asked, "Then why did you say, 'We need to talk?'"

Exasperated Peep said, "You need to stop watching so much American television."

"Oh fairies aren't allowed to watch television. Mum says, "It's beneath us.' I do love to watch Hannah Montana though. She gets into a lot of trouble! How do people not know she is Miley? She's only wearing a tacky blond wig?"

"I dunno..." Peep explained, "I've never seen the show."

Locket gasped, "YOU'VE NEVER WATCHED HANNAH MONTANA?! It's only the number one rated show on Disney."

Peep cocked his head knowingly. "I thought you weren't allowed to watch television."

Locket spoke sheepishly, "Yeah, but I know stuff..."

Peep jumped up! "Please tell me we are not gonna visit Hannah Montana and what's her name?"

Locket clapped her hands together gleefully. "I hadn't thought of that but wouldn't it be fun?"

Peep objected, "No it would NOT be fun. Besides they're actors not cartoons."

Locket got nose to nose with Peep and asked, "Are you telling me cartoon characters are more real than actors?"

Peep ducked and sat in his computer chair. He began spinning in circles.

Locket flew beside Peep made circles with him until she became dizzy. She said, "You always do that when you're nervous or WRONG!"

Peep stopped spinned and asked, "Do what?"

"Spin in that chair. I'll think I'll turn that chair into a teleportation device. Each time to spin out of control you'll end up someplace else."

Peep stood up and shoved the computer chair away from him. He exclaimed, "Don't you dare!"

Locket began laughing. She laughed so hard in fact Peep thought she looked a bit deranged. 

Peep shouted, "What's so funny? You've taken me to Leprechaun Land, to see The Simpsons, Scooby Doo... Why couldn't you turn my chair into Teleportation Central?"

Through peels of laughter Locket squealed, "You slay me!"

Peep became annoyed, "What? Why?"

Locket took a few calming breaths then answered, "Because, silly, I've not learned how to turn inanimate objects into portals yet." She jumped on Peep's Gryffindor's sheets. Have you even read Harry Potter? With great power comes great responsibility."

Peep remarked, "Duh! That's from Spiderman!"

Locket displayed her ADD, "Oh Spiderman is a lovely fellow. Would you like to meet him?"

Peep shouted, "No!" The fact was he would like to meet Spiderman very much but she missed the point.  "Okay... maybe someday."

Locket smirked then said, "Deal,"  before flying out Peep's open window.

Peep wondered where they'd end up next.
