Been having This Timeline/Animation Issue for Days Now. PLEASE, Help Me!

I am making a signature for a friend, but I have come across a hurdle. Basically, I am trying to make it looks as though something is hoovering something else up (by request).

Now, I have my two layers; the hoovering object, and the stuff getting hoovered. I have the hoover (not an actual hoover) animation down to a T, but I can't seem to make the other layer disappear as though it was being hoovered up.

I thought about making a separate timeline, and sort of 'syncing' them. I abolished this idea when I realized I was unable to make a separate timeline on the same project (I might be wrong).

I then thought of deleting the pixels along with the hoovering object. I thought this would give me the desired effect. It seems I was wrong. The pixels were permanently deleted, never to be seen again.

I tried posting a link to show my work so far, but since I am but a mere noob, I was unable.

I am brand new to CS6, and all design for that matter, so please bare this in mind before chuckling away to yourselves about my incompetence.

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. The project was started as a learning curve. I have learnt much about timeline animation along the way, and I am really enjoying learning. For this reason, I am not looking to be spoon-fed. Just a point in the right direction would be fantastic. It is day three now, and I still haven't thought up a way to do this. Now is the time to seek help.

Please and thank you.

Hummmmnnnn............

Don't post anything that is not family oriented! LOL!!

Pm me an example.
 
I sent you another PM briefly describing the technique. Hope fully this may help you to figure it out until I can get to it later!
If not, see you later this afternoon.
 
Here you go Effexion! There may be other ways to do this, but this seems to work. Hope this helps or at least gives you some ideas to go on!
