A/N: Hooray! This is my very first fanfiction I have ever put on the internet! Please review and tell me what you think! I got the idea for this while watching the Disney channel for the kids I was baby-sitting, and I think it's really a great idea.

Chapter 1

"Luna, love! We have to be going soon!"

"Just a moment, father!" Luna shouted over her shoulder before turning her attention back to detailing one of the numerous dainty violets dancing across the guestroom door.

Luna pressed the tip of her paintbrush to her lips. Everything had to perfect!

"Luna!"

The straggly-haired blonde sighed before setting down her paintbrush and pushing herself to her feet. She supposed she could finish later.

Before going down the stairs, however, Luna looked over her shoulder one more time to admire the strokes of calligraphy that had taken more time and effort than the hundreds of painted flowers.

Danika Lovegood

Luna had never been in a Muggle airport before, but she had heard all about them. On that same note, though, she was also finding that an airport was something that needed to be experienced in order to get a full feel for it. Everywhere you looked, you saw people pushing and shoving, suitcases following their owners like dogs on leashes, and the air was thick with the sounds of every language known to man.

While her father was off conversing with a young couple who seemed to be from Japan and understanding very little of what he was saying, Luna found her way over to the magazine stand with a bored-looking Indian man watching over his wares.

"I need everything you have on American celebrities," she said, passing the man the strange paper Muggle money. "I only have an hour to learn everything I possibly can."

A small stack of magazines grew larger and larger, and Luna watched in an awed sort of amazement, her attention only coming back with a snap when she noticed a familiar face on the cover of the top magazine. She snatched it up to get a closer look, and sure enough, right below the photo of the girl whose smile dazzled despite the completely stationary photograph.

Danika Lovegood: an exclusive interview with Hollywoods most up and coming young star

Giving a small squeal of delight, Luna left all her other selections on the counter and found the nearest possible chair to settle down with the Hollywood gossip.

Danika Lovegood was Luna's cousin: an American halfblood and the daughter of Xenophilius Lovegood's youngest brother. Luna's Uncle Woodrow had moved to the United States after he had graduated from Hogwarts and married a Muggle woman; an aspiring actress named Alexis. But when an acting career never panned out for Luna's aunt, she instead tried to make it happen for her daughter.

The only difference was that Danika found great success as an actress. At 3, she had starred in her first commercial, was doing television parts by 5, and had her first movie by 8.

But it was last year when Danika had found true success. She had been given a starring role on a Disney Channel show called Life According to Sydney, which was, from what Luna had heard, a show about a young girl named Sydney who was willing to do just about anything to become famous, and her plans to do so usually ended with some very kooky results.

The last time Luna had heard from her cousin was when the show had just started airing, and from the looks of the magazine cover, it had done very well.

Luna flipped through the pages, past the celebrity babies and actresses standing side by side, wearing the same dress, until she finally found the spread of the stylish blonde 15 year old: photos of her dancing barefoot on the beach, holding a Shakespearian drama mask, and sitting upside down in an antique armchair. Below there were blocks of white with black text spelling out the interview with the magazine reporter: what she liked to do in her spare time (shopping, playing with her dog, and singing), what people could look forward to from her show in the following year.

Luna had become so absorbed in the magazine, in fact, she found herself quite startled when a voice from right in front of her spoke, "Don't skip over the Jonas Brothers photo spread."

When Luna finally did look up, she could see, standing just inches in front of her was the slender, stylish figure of Danika Lovegood, an unreachable Hollywood icon to most, but to Luna, the cousin with whom she'd made biscuits and gone looking for fireflies.

But that Danika was just a little girl, in no way resembling the glamorously beautiful teenager that stood before her.

Atop her head was a wide-brim straw hat tied with a violet ribbon, and from over the rims of oversized sunglasses (as though afraid of being recognized) peer bright blue eyes, as though they were small pieces stolen from the Caribbean Sea. Her blonde hair that had once rivaled Luna's in length was now chopped into the same short, stylish haircut that had been featured in the magazine.

Before Luna could react any further, Danika rush forward and hugged her tight around the shoulders. "You have no idea how much I've missed you, girl!"

Luna wrapped her own arms around her cousin. "I missed you too, Danika."

"Honey, I've been telling you for years, it's Dani!" Danika took off her wide brimmed hat and shook her hair wildly. "But where's Uncle Xeno?"

Luna pointed over to the Japanese couple, who seemed to be quickly becoming nervous at the oddly dressed man before them.

"Uh oh," Danika remarked, biting her bottom lip. "I better go handle this."

The America movie star rushed over to the couple, pulling her hat back tight over her hair, lest she be recognized, and, quite to Luna's surprise, began speaking to them in fluent Japanese. Almost immediately, the young couple began to calm down and bowed their good-byes to Danika and Luna's father.

"Yoi ichinichi o!" Danika called after them.

"When did you learn to speak Japanese?"

Danika spun around. "Oh, I just started learning. My agent told me a month ago that there's this new movie being made in Japan, and they need a blonde American girl to play one of the parts. I have the audition over Christmas!" The girl could not help a squeal of delight.

Luna shook here head. These were most certainly going to be an…interesting next few months.

A/N: That's the end of chapter 1! Pleas review and tell me what you think! It may inspire me to write more of the story!
