Roxy's Fan-fiction Draft

Cardcaptor Sakura


- Set after the anime series
- Different character point of views?
- Year differences?
- Romance?
- Main characters : Syaoran and Sakura

She stood on top of the high building, staring down at the streets of Hong Kong. 'How will I ever find him? Does he even still remember?'

~ 10 years ago ~

Sakura and Syaoran were standing at the airport getting ready to say their goodbyes. Suddenly, Syaoran handed Sakura a teddy bear. "This is my promise to you! You have to wait for me Sakura. As soon as I've finished sorting out things with the clan. I'll definitely be back!" All the teary-eyed Sakura could do was nod. This was their last meeting.

~ Back to the present ~

'It's been 10 years, I wonder if he still remembers me. How will I find him in this big city?’
“Sakura…!” Tomoyo yelled at her.
“What are you doing? We have to go now! We’re getting left behind!” Tomoyo continued.
“Coming ‘Moyo!” She said as she ran towards the door.
“Sakura, don’t tell me you’re getting ideas, I mean it has been 10 years and he hasn’t once tried to contact you. Don’t you think it’s about time you moved on now?” Tomoyo sighed while looking sadly at Sakura.
“I know ‘moyo but what if…the clan could be stopping him! You know how they are ‘moyo. I mean, he promised me…he promised…” Sakura’s voice drifted when they outside the building. She couldn’t believe her eyes. There he was.
“How could he!?” Tomoyo said, getting ready to run up to him. Sakura pulled on Tomoyo’s shirt.
“Tomoyo, forget it. It’s okay, it’s not his fault,  it’s mine. I shouldn’t have expected that he would be waiting all this time. I mean, we were kids when we made the promised to each other. Let’s just leave it.” Sakura said while looking at the ground sadly.
Tomoyo looked at her best friend and sighed. 
"Don't worry Sakura, I'll help you through this." She said while thinking of a plan to get them back together.

~ Next day ~

Ring ring ~
Ring ring ~

'Who the hell could be ringing at this hour?' MeiLin thought as she picked up the phone.
"Hello?"
"MeiLin? It's me, Tomoyo. How have you been? So, Sakura and I are in Hong Kong right now. Wanna catch up with us today?" 
"Tomoyo?! Wow! I haven't seen you in years! Yes, we have to meet up. Meet me at Starbucks on xxx street in 2 hours yeah?"
"Okay Mei, see you then. Bye."
"Bye"

~ At Starbucks 2 hours later ~

  1. Your fanfiction is following a typical shoujo anime storyline, will it be another shoujo story or will it have twists and turns that envelope the reader?
    You have me curious as to how the rest of the story will turn out.

  3. Hey,

    Yea I really enjoyed reading this too. The style and genre are very clear and like Kae said follow a typical shoujo anaime storyline, which is could I think helps the readers know the context.

    The audience expectation is quite high at this point hah, as Hassan said too, can't wait to see what happens.. Tell us?? =p

    Setting is clear in Tokyo, which is good because it does emphasize how big it is.

    Only thing I'd wonder is could the story be a little clearer around this point "Sakura’s voice drifted when they outside the building. She couldn’t believe her eyes. There he was. " But ofcourse, it's only your draft.

    Anyway, good work.

    1. Nice to know that you think that it's clear that it is set in Tokyo but if you read it properly the first sentence does say "staring down at the streets of Hong Kong" (:
