This is my first fanfic, so please tell me how you like it. -- LittleWolf

All characters are owned by Clamp, so if I mess up on something please don't sue me.

I haven't watched all the card captor shows and movies, everything in here is from what I've learned on the Internet. If I mix anything up, please don't get mad at me. The names in this story go by the Japanese version of Card Captors, names are:

Sakura is still Sakura

Li Showron is Syaoran Li

Maddison is Tomoyo

Tori is Touya

Jullian is Yukito

Meilin Rae is Meilin Li (she's Li's cousin)

Kero is still Kero

Ms. Makenzie is Kaho

Eli is Eriol

This is Fan Fiction so everything here is not necessarily true. If you're a Sakura/Syaoran fan or a Meilin/Syaoran fan you may not like this story.

What If....?

Chapter 1: A New World

What if all stories came from somewhere, not just the writer's head. What if every story character had a counterpart in the real world. What if they found out they were a story.....

"Mom come on, we have only an hour to get to the airport," a tall, thin red-head yelled back over her shoulder as she grabbed two suitcases and ran out the door.

(at the airport)

"I'm going to miss you, Jin," her mother gave her a hug, crying on her shoulder.

"It's only a year, mom, I'll be back, I promise."

"I know, but you're my baby I don't want you to go."

"MOM! Don't call me that in public, please!!"

"Oh, sorry."

(over pa) "Flight 1089, with service to Seoul, Korea, is boarding now at gate 13B. All passengers please proceed to the gate with your tickets ready."

"That's me, mom, I've gotta go," Jin said as she picked up her carry-on. "Don't worry mom, I'll call, and write. You'll know everything about me there that you know here, I promise."

"I know dear, I know."

Jin reached over and gave her mother a hug and a goodbye kiss, "See you in one year."

Then she turned to get on the plane. As she got on the plane she cried silently, I miss home already, it's only a year, right? Only a year.....

(narrator: Jin is going to Korea as an exchange student. She will live with a family that she knows there for a year. Jin is seventeen and is in her senior year of high school. She knows this will be an experience of a lifetime, she just doesn't know how big her experience is about to become.)

"Hey, Jin, over here," Mrs. Yeh called at the girl just getting off the plane. "Long time, no see," she jested as they hugged.

"Hey it's only been two months." Jin replied.

"Still we have some catching up to do, and some sight seeing." Mrs. Yeh said as the two picked up Jin's suitcases and walked out of the airport.

"OOOH, I LOVE IT!!! Thank you, the room is beautiful. I love the view." Jin exclaimed with glee. She went to the window and looked out to the beautiful mountain scene.

"I knew you would like it. Your school's about four blocks down the road. Tomorrow I'll take you to see downtown, good night." Mrs. Yeh said as she shut the door.

I'm finally here, far away from all that is familiar to me. She reached down to her ring, her most precious thing in the world. Her parents gave it to her when they got married. I miss them. It's only a year, only a year, only a year.....
