A Wedding Gown From Heaven
The Prologue-When the fate began
By sakutsubasa
Summary: Sakura Kinomoto, 18-yr old average girl traveled to Paris on her own. Syaoran Li, a 19-yr old phenomenal fashion designer. Under a weird situation they met and that's when their fate began. (AU FIC)
Author's note: This story was actually based on/adopted from a TV show called 'The Wedding Gown from Heaven' (Taiwanese TV show). I've only watched around 4 episodes, but to me the storyline was totally unexpected and pretty interesting. Therefore, I decided to turn it into a S + S fanfic. YAY! But of course, I made my own adjustments too!
This is my first REAL fanfiction ever written with an ACTUAL plot. Not that I don't ever have plots on my stories, but it's just that this plot sounds so much better. However, I would totally accept flames, words from critics or compliments (indeed!).
Opps…forgot one more thing! I DO NOT OWN CARD CAPTOR SAKURA…the characters..etc.
'In Paris there's a place call St John Cathedral, if you ever go there, almost everyone would kneel in front of the Cathedral to pray for wishes to come true.'
In Paris
Sakura's POV:
GOSH! I'm officially eighteen today! YAY! And I've arrived Paris at last. Whew. What a long journey! All by myself. Not that I don't want to celebrate my birthday without my family, but due to financial problems I could only pay one ticket to Paris. Talking about this journey, I've been waiting for this trip ever since I was a child! At the age of six, I've already promised myself to save enough money for a trip to Paris by the time I was eighteen and I really made it! I'm so dang proud of myself! Yet still, it's kind of lonely to travel alone. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I came to Paris for a REASON!
-Flashback starts-
Sakura at the age of 15 studying in Tomoeda High…Tomoyo is Sakura's best friend (author: duh!).
Sakura: Tomoyo-chan! Look , Paris looks SOOOO romantic. The lights, the restaurants, the oh-so-famous Eiffel Tower! This is like my childhood dream! Sakura points to the picture on a Japanese magazine
Tomoyo: (nods)I hope you would be able to grant your childhood wish, the one that you've always had in your mind.
Sakura: Arigatou, Tomoyo-chan!
Suddenly, Yamazaki popped out from nowhere.
Sakura and Tomoyo: NE? (shocked)
Yamazaki: Talking about Paris eh?
Sakura: (nods) Yea...well you see-
Yamazaki: You guys want to hear a romantic myth about Paris? (interrupting Sakura)
Sakura and Tomoyo: (sweatdrops) Erm …okay.
Yamazaki: Here goes…serious tone In Paris there's a place call St John Cathedral, if you ever go there, almost everyone would kneel in front of the Cathedral to pray for wishes to come true. Especially lovey dovey kind of wishes. Of course, for those people who are desperate to find their other half or true love…well its up to you to believe… (laughs)
Sakura: REALLY? Is that true?
Tomoyo: (smiles) This is really the first time that I've heard something like that.
-Flashback ends-
Sakura POV:
Yes! You're correct. I've come to Paris to pray for finding my own true love. I might sound very pathetic and desperate. But hey! I mean, what kind of girl isn't interested to pray for their true love to come?
Sakura with shoulder-length auburn hair and a pair of sparkling emerald eyes was full of faith in this particular journey. Wearing a pair of beige swear pants and a white tank top with little strawberry patterns sewed on it.
Sakura was an all average 18-yr old girl, with a bubbly personality. Travelling all alone on her pair of pink sneakers, she happily walked on the streets of Paris.
Sakura POV:
OH! St John's Cathedral! Oh My God! It's ever so grand!
In Paris there's a place call St John Cathedral, if you ever go there, almost everyone would kneel in front of the Cathedral to pray for wishes to come true.
The myth that she heard around 3 yrs ago once again rang inside her head.
Sakura kneeled immediately at the sight of the cathedral, clasping her fingers together ever so tightly. Suddenly, she felt tears forming at the corner of her eyes. Never in her life had she felt like this before. In front of the Cathedral there she prayed silently:
'Dear God,
I wish…I really, really wish that I could find my true love in my life. I hope I could meet that person soon.'
The prayer quickly ended. Sakura stood up, sweeping dust away from her knees.
Sakura POV:
I MADE IT…I managed to have enough money to come to Paris and made my ultimate wish! This is like the best moment in my entire life!
On the other hand, a young man with messy brown hair was walking from the cathedral to a park.
This young man with a pair of intense amber eyes, tall-built and wore a formal suit wanted to go to the park for a little rest. Just then, a passerby stopped him in the middle of the way.
This passerby was an old woman. The young man began to frown at the sight of her.
'Young man…' The old woman began, her hands starting to search through her pockets. Soon, she handed over a coin with a unique star symbol engraved on it.
'You will find out who your true love is once you flip the coin to the air, and knowing where which person it lands to. Try it.'
The young man frowned even more. Huh? Was more like his reaction.
The coin was being forced into his left hand. 'Why are you giving this to me?' He questioned.
The old woman just smiled and said, 'You'll see young man, you'll see. Its fate.. you'll see.'
The young man unwillingly accepted it. He was a person who didn't ever believe in such lame myths. However, when he decided to return the coin to the old woman, she was gone.
The young man sighed gravely and turned his back and made his way back to the main road that led to the Cathedral. Feeling slightly stupid, he casually threw the coin with his left hand to the air.
'Fate…' He snorted, as if he would ever believe such thing as fate.
Just then, Sakura made her way to the park. And there they met shoulder past shoulder, in that very moment. They casually walked past each other. This happened ever so quickly, there wasn't even an eye contact between them.
Yet all Sakura noticed was this sudden soft 'BING' sound. A coin fell from the sky on the stone ground. She kneeled down and picked up the coin, observing it closely and there it was the same coin that was uniquely engraved with a star symbol on it.
Sakura POV:
It MUST be fate that this coin fell from the sky and landed right in front of me. IT MUST BE. From now on, this coin is going to be my lucky charm. A prove that I've came to Paris and made my wish.
She smiled and slipped the coin into the pocket of her sweat pants.
But never had she imagined that…the FATE had already started.
Next Chapter:
Sakura and Syaoran will meet each other! By the way, the coin does meant something in the end…bits and clues would be revealed as the story rolls into place. Oh..and the next chapter is a bit dramatic. Keep watchin'.
Author Note:
Finish the first chappie! I know there's lots of grammar mistakes. Yet, I would revise this chapter soon. I just wanted to post it up quickly and see if any people are interested with it. PLZ do review! I would totally appreciate that! My aim is at least 10 reviews! See if I could reach my goal! Oh god…its already 4:00 am in the morning!
