Intro:
Characters:
Chihiro --- The famous fairy story writer
Nigihayami---Chihiro’s first lover
Tomohisa---A news reporter




Could we meet again in somewhere? Of course we will. “Just go now! Nigihayami! Remember that don’t turn back!” Chihiro said sadly and her face full of tears. She feels like falling down to a bottomless pit. Suddenly she wakes up; she opens her eyes slowly and winks her eyes several times. Yes, its just a dream. Just the same dream she has to have everyday.

Slim, soft, and pitch colour hair, an innocent and beautiful face which gets rid of childish and becomes full of maturity. Yes, this is Chihiro. Ten years are such a long time since she separated with Nigihayami.

Chimiro now is walking gentlest on her way to the new book officially sign meeting. She walks on the street as she‘s thinking something in her mind.

Since the last time I separated with you, it has been unconsciously past 10 years.

Chihiro has been from a slim, timidity little girl becomes into a famous Japanese fairy story writer.This book is her third one being published and also can be considered as the latest one as well. The story she wrote is something basing on her real childhood story. The one which happened in the fantasy world---the bathhouse 10 years ago.

This is spring now and extremely wet . Chihiro leaned her head and watches the sky with a sunshine smiling.This rainwater really seems like the wishes which Nigihayami sent from the other world.

Chihiro keeps walking and thinking until she arrives at her new book officially sign meeting. She puts her hand lightly on the chest and tries to have a deep breath.

“Excuse me, Ms Chihiro, in what way make you write this famous fairy story?” asks by the news reporter who is holding the microphone and he puts the microphone in front of Chihiro.

“Because of a magical, beautiful and unforgettable real story in my childhood.” She answered slowly, and gentle with a charming smile.

“Ms Chihiro, would you like to cooperate with our神奈川 Film Company? We are really expecting that to produce your book adapt into a fairy movie.” A very handsome man is getting into the crowed reporters and passing his name card to Chihiro .

A short silence ensued, that handsome man looks quite similar with the one who is always in her memory, the one who can deeply catches her heart.

“I will think about that. If you don’t mind, would you come with me for a coffee in the Kakashi coffee shop?” She asked.

“Wow that sounds nice, so see you around 8.” The man with a sweet smile and answered.

Chihiro stands in front of the Kakashi coffee shop when it is 8 o’clock.This is her favourite coffee shop. Because this coffee shop always causes her memories in the past.

“Excuse me, Ms Chihiro, what are you thinking now?” A gentle voice comes to her ears. The man who is called Tomohisa.

“Oh...I’m sorry, I didn’t recognized you are coming. Mr Tomohisa.” She answered and her beautiful face suddenly turns red like an apple.

“So…mmm… Why we are still standing ourside the coffee shop? Let’s get into the shop and make ourselves comfortable. Ok?” Tomohisa suggested.

Chihiro laughed and followed him, walked into the shop.

“To be honest, you look really stunning today with this beautiful evening dress.” Tomohisa stands at back of her and said.

And then she feels kind of breathless. Because that juvenile from 10 years before said the same words. She remembered that’s such a beautiful sunshine morning, nearby the garden, that juvenile said to her: “Chihiro, you look really beautiful when you are wearing the red dress.” And then, she smiles naturally to the juvenile. Just like this, she easily started to like his smiling. That juvenile, the one who is Worthing to put her whole life into...

“Excuse me, Ms Chihiro, I think you...” The voice from Tomohisa which arouses Chihiro get back from her sweet memories.

“I’m sorry.” Her face starts to turn red again and it’s the second time.“I don’t want to talk about the movie things today, I don’t feel well.” She said. At this moment, she feels extremely cold, “So sorry about that I date you out today. But I really don’t want to chat today.”

“ Ms Chihiro. It doesn’t matter…” Suddenly that, he stops talking because he recognises that her beautiful face full of the tears.She’s such a so emotional girl; something just lightly touches her deep heart and makes her want to cry.

“I give you a lift to go home.” He said extremely gentle and stares her eyes like the stars from the night sky.

“All right…” She answered and submissively followed him get into the car.

He parked the car in front of a daily shop.“Ms Chihiro, you haven’t eaten anything tonight and must be hungry. I’m gonna buy you some food.” And then he gets out of the car and directly walks to the daily shop.When he comes back, he recognises that Chihiro is gazing at him with gentle and innocent eyes.

“You look really similar with him, not only the appearance.”

He passed the bread to her and surprisely asked: “You mean I look like whom?"

“You look like the man inside my heart, quite similar.” She answered.How similar is that! She starts to get down to her memories again.

“So…Ms Chihiro, would you like to give me a chance to walk into your heart and repel all your sorrow memories.” He gazes at her face with pure hearted eyes.

She suddenly getting frightened and mutter a few words, asked that: “why?"

“ Because you are such a special girl, when I first time I met you, I know that you are the one I should guard and protect during my whole life.” Tomohisa answered.

Couples of minites later, Chihiro has gone home and standing at the backyard of her house, she’s gazing at Tomohisa’s car has driving away. She feels extremely helpless and got nothing to do.She feels so tired and cold. And then she takes a quick shower and goes to bed. But it’s really hard that she can’t go to sleep. She starts to think that she shouldn’t stand in the old memories any more. They are all passed away. The past memories only can cause her feel sorrow and sadness. The only one thing she should learn is to abandon and forgetting. She deserves to live happily and enjoyable. Nigihayami from the other world should be happy to see that. Her new life has been started at this moment.

Her eyes are suddenly getting so shining because she realizes that there is one necessary thing she has to do in order to be not regret in her whole life. So she quickly checks the clock, its 2 am in the morning; so she straights out and gives a phone call to Tomohisa.

“Hi, it’s me...mmm... just wondering that would you like to go out for a cup of coffee.”

“Yes, why not! I’m coming to pick you up! Please wait for me!”He answered with extremely excited voice and quickly run out of the house.”

At the same time, Chihiro dresses her favourite red everning dress and looks at the mirror with an enchanting smile...

Hi Aldous,
Nice story. I like your idea that it has passed ten years since Chihiro had the experience in “another world”. But I am a bit confused. Did Nigihayami transform into Tomohisa? Or are they different people? At the end of the story, Chihiro realises that she likes Tomohisa, so does she call Tomohisa? Or she realises that Tomohisa is Nigihayami, so does she call? Anyway, I will try to figure out which action is which step in Vogler’s theory. Chihiro does not know about love at first, so it means that she is in the ordinary world. And the “call to adventure” is to meet Tomohisa, perhaps? Then she once tries not to talk to him, and it is “refusal of the call”. She realises that she likes Tomohisa, and it is the “supreme ordeal”. Finally, she gives a phone call to Tomohisa, and it means to “return with the elixir”. Maybe my analysis is wrong. I watched Spirited Away, so I know the story. Therefore, I enjoyed reading your story.
