A/N: I told myself a million times that I wasn't going to work on more than one fanfiction at a time. Well, here I am writing a new fanfiction because I just couldn't stop thinking about this one. This is going to be the first story in my Ghibli Fandrop Series. I'll basically be writing a fanfic of each Ghibli movie with either a friend or myself as the OC who will be added/take the place of another character from the movie. All of my OC's will have a few things in common that you should keep in mind.

1) Every OC has seen/is obsessed with the movie they're in. (Which is why I picked them for the story.)

2) The OC's know that they are in that particular movie.

3) The OC's will make references to people they know who will be OC's in future stories in the series.

The name 'Ghibli Fandrop Series' is pretty self-explanatory now. Fans of Ghibli are being 'dropped' into their favorite movies. I hope you guys enjoy this and please review and tell me what you think about the whole idea of it. Also, I suggest that you don't read this unless you've seen the movie first or else you're not going to get any of the story. (I'll put up a link to each one of the movies on my profile as I write a fanfic for the movie.) Sorry for the long A/N and here's chapter 1!

Chapter 1

I picked up the last piece of tape and carefully pressed it over the corner of the poster I was hanging up. Once I had finished sealing the last corner I put my arms down, took a step back, and looked at the poster.

"Perfect!" I said to myself. A huge smile spread on my face as I looked at my new poster of my favorite character Haku. The picture was Haku in his dragon form flying in a starry night sky with a full moon cut off in the upper right hand corner. In the middle a faded picture of Haku in his human form was looking off in the distance, the wind blowing his hair.

"Sheesh. This is getting ridiculous Katherine." I didn't turn around to see who it was. I knew it was my brother McKay standing by my bedroom door and I tried to ignore his comment. "How long are you going to be obsessed with that magical cartoon girl from that stupid show?" He said and I cringed.

"Haku is not a girl…" I growled in a low voice. "He's a river spirit from the anime movie Spirited Away and I WILL NOT LET YOU TALK ABOUT HIM LIKE THAT!" I ran towards him with all my fury and started whipping him with my black belt I got in Taekwondo. McKay lifted his shoulders and raised his arms in a pathetic attempt to defend himself from my wrath.

"HE'S NOT EVEN REAL!" He shouted.

"GET OUT YOU NONBELIEVER!OUT OUT OUT OUT!" I continued to shout until he ran off laughing nervously.

"CRAZY GIRL!" He shot back before he slammed his door. I growled again and stormed back in my room, put my belt away, and jumped onto my bed. After a minute once I simmered down a bit I closed my eyes and sighed. My brother and I usually got along so well but when it came to my love of Spirited Away we were at war with each other. He's a very realistic person and doesn't like anything that has to do with magic, spirits, or anything that was 'too weird' by his definition. That pretty much ruled out any hope that he would have of even tolerating Spirited Away or any anime. I on the other hand loved everything to do with magical beings and creatures and I watched Spirited Away at least once or twice a day. I drew fan art, read everything I could get my hands on about it; I had even memorized everything every character says. It was sad that we had such conflicting views when it came to things like that, but we got over it pretty fast. We could never stay mad at each other for long.

I looked out of my window and saw the sun shining through and it looked like a perfect day for a walk. Even though my family and I had moved to our new home a few months ago, I hadn't had the time to explore the forested area nearby. Now's a better time than any. I sat up and went downstairs to get my shoes on.

"Where are you heading to?" McKay asked as he walked down the stairs.

"I'm going to take a walk." I replied. "Do you want to come?"

"Heck yeah!" He replied. "I need to get out of the house before mom and dad make me start studying again." I smiled and we called out to our parents that we were heading out. Our mom just told us to be back before dinner and we were off.

There wasn't much in the woods to see other than the different kinds of plants and a few wild animals that we ran into. After an hour of wandering, we came to a place where the woods were divided by a dirt road.

"Huh, that's weird." McKay said. "I wonder where it leads to." I looked at the pathway in silence. It felt so familiar to me as if I had seen it before. But it could be that! I must be imagining it. But still…

"Last one to the end of the road has to clean the dishes by themselves after dinner!" I screamed and broke into a run.

"Hey! You cheater!" McKay chased after me. He was having trouble keeping his footing one the bumpy ground and he fell down when the road suddenly changed and cobblestone covered the earth. My feet almost seemed to know where to go on their own without me telling them. I was a slow runner and I realized that usually McKay would be right at my heels now, but the distance between us was actually growing wider. I never stumbled, my feet never landed on the cracks between the stones, and before I had even registered what I was doing I leapt in the air and over a creek where a little waterfall was eroding the land away. I looked back to see McKay as he came to the creek and saw him as he stepped into the water and fell on his face.

"No dishes for me tonight sucker!" I called to him as I raced on. I looked ahead when I noticed something near the side of the road. It was some sort of statue with parts of it covered in moss. My head turned to face it as I ran past it and I didn't notice the low tree branch until it whacked me it the head. "OW!" The sharp branches slapped my face hard and in an attempt to back out of it I tripped and fell on my back. I groaned and I opened my eyes in time to see McKay run past me and duck under the branches.

"No such luck exists for you slowpoke!" He yelled. I got back up and charged after him. More branches were up ahead and as I ducked under the last one I saw my brother and put on one last burst of speed. I screamed out a battle cry and hoped to knock him down, but I slammed into his back instead.

"Mph!" I cried by the surprise mouthful of jacket. I stepped back and looked up at my brother. "McKay! Why did you stop?!" He didn't respond. I couldn't see over him because he was so much taller than me so I leaned to the left to see what had caught his attention. My eyes widened. "Whoa…" In front of us was a large entrance of some sort with a statue that looked nearly identical to the one I had seen earlier. The building had chipped red paint, looked really old, and very familiar to me. This looks just like the entrance to Spirit World that Chihiro and he parents went through! I got giddy at the thought.

"What do you think is on the other side?" McKay whispered. A slight breeze picked up and seemed to draw us in.

"Let's go check it out!" I said and began tugging at his arm. I had to see what was on the other side! McKay snapped out of his trance, nodded to me, and followed me into the tunnel.

"It's pretty dark in here so be careful not to trip ok?" McKay said.

"Mm-hm." I replied quietly. I walked behind him and ran my fingertips along the wall feeling paint chips break off at my touch. On the other side of the tunnel we walked into a room that was only illuminated by small stain glass windows. There were lots of benches with their backs facing one of the columns that were supporting the ceiling. A small fountain dripped in one of the corners of the room.

"Hey, do you hear that?" McKay asked. I listened closely and heard the sound of a train zooming on tracks. "We're close to a train station. Let's go see if we can find where it's coming from." I nodded and followed robotically behind my brother. I was too absorbed in taking in every detail to really notice that McKay was speaking. There's no doubt about it. This is the first room that Chihiro was in when she entered the Spirit World.

A/N: So that concludes chapter 1! In case you're wondering Katherine is based off of me and my older brother McKay is based off of a friend of mine. (aka Moslanman on ) PLEEEEEEAAAAAASE REVIEW and tell me if I should continue this! I don't want to continue writing something if nobody likes it so give me your honest opinion! I'm open to any and all flames for this so just spill out everything you think and feel about it!
