AU Peg, a short period BL Her-type variable, is unique among short period Cepheids. It is a member of a close binary system with an unseen companion. In t his paper the pulsational period variation is presented. It is shown that the period variation is very rapid and highly non-linear. It seems that there is no simple explanation of this phenomena by standard evolution or tidal interaction.
