Dreaming Dolls

Hey I'm a new writer and my names Mk,

My friends Water Megami and Falling Petals have got me into writing my own stories, this is my first one as you can see, and I'm hoping you'll like it as much as I had fun creating it.

Dreaming Dolls is based on S+S, and is found in the Romance sector.

The first chapter is based on girls day (3rd of March), a special holiday in Japan celebrating girls, here we find Sakura's father telling her how she must put the dolls away by the end of the day or it is believed she wont get married.

This is my first chapter, and once you've read it please PLEASE review so I can improve my next chapters or make changes, stay tuned in!.

"Sakura!" yelled her dad, ""COMING PAPA!"

Lets get this straight, the girl, her names Sakura Avalon, she's 10 years old, has brownish/ amber hair, green eyes, average height for a 10 year old, and really pretty, just like her mum.

Sakura's dad, Aiden Avalon, single parent and loving father of 2 children (Sakura and Tori), and

a professor at the University of Toua.

"I'm here dad" Sakura rushed into the room.

Mr Avalon was unpacking a bunch of boxes with visable colours and fabrics from the inside. He took out a doll and handed it to Sakura.

"Girls Day" Sakura said, it was her favourite day of the year apart from her birthday!.

"These dolls were your mothers" said her father as Sakura examined the dolls closely and began to set them up.

"Every year on the 3rd of March, families with daughters get out their dolls, set them up and then have tea parties"

"DAD! Tea parties are for little kids, I'm a big girl, I think of it more as a morning tea, where you eat yummy snacks and drink green tea (ocha / おちゃ)."

"Ok Ok! What ever you say then, anyway back to the story, tradition has it that you must set up the dolls in the morning, but you MUST pack the dolls away before the 4th of March, it's bad luck and believed that the girl will not get married, each day they are left out is another added day the daughter will not get married."

"Papa, is that really true" she said, not necessarily paying attention while playing with the dolls.

"Some people believe it to be blossom, now lets set up these dolls, urgh Sakura hunny, I forgot how to set them up lol"

"How can you forget dad? Silly billy, haven't you ever seen them being set up before?"

"Um, Well as you know I'm an only child so I didn't see them being set up as a boy, I decided to learn when your mother had you (smiles), we all joined in the fun, even Tori d-"

"WHAAAAA? I DON'T OR DID NOT DO ANYTHING REMOTELY GIRLY! I'M A MAN!" interrupts Tori as he walks past the door, leaving Sakura laughing uncontrollably.

"(laughs) Well believe it or not he did, to tell you the truth (whispers) I reckon he wishes he was in here helping right now lol"

Tori walks past the door again frowning

Sakura picks up the king doll and places him on top of the stand, then her dad picks up what appears to be the queen, looks at her a couple of times, then at the stand, and finally decides to place her at the top next to the king.

"Nice work dad, now all we have to do is set up the 3 maids, 5 musicians, 2 guards, 3 workers and all of their furniture lol"

"Sounds like fun, lets get started" he says

"Oh I wonder how Tomoyo's day is coming along, and if she's already set up her dolls (smiles), I'll call her later, Papa! Would you like to come to my morning tea?"

"Of course Sakura I'd love to!"

"….Er, Sakura, um can"

"Yes Tori (giggles) you can join our "tea party"" Tori blushes.

That was my first chapter and I really hope you liked it, I know it's a bit short but this is only the beginning and it really starts to heat up in the next chapter as this one is just suppose to give you an idea of the plot.

PLEASE REVIEW!

Thanks heaps, Mk
