Formative Fanfic( The spiriting away of Sen and Chigiro)

I chose anime ‘The spiriting away of Sen and Chihiro’ by Miyaaki H.
IBut I am not sure about the title. I will keep thinking for the title. The main story will be focus on after Sen’s family go to picnic. I haven’t finished yet it is just for formative.

Sen is a naughty girl who almost never obeys her parents.

“Sen!! Could you turn down the TV volume? I am on the phone now and it’s a really important call” Dad persuaded Sen
“No way dad ~~~ it’s more important to me than your call” Sen is screaming in her room and keep watching the TV.
“Sen!!! How can you say that to your dad ??!! Mum said with angry face.
“You and dad are always busy! You guys only care about work!
You and dad DO NOT care about me! I think I am not member of this family and I don’t understand why you gave me a birth! You shouldn’t have done that if you don’t want to have a child. I really really really hate you two!!!! Sen is crying loudly.
“You are not a baby anymore. I am tired of hearing what you’ve just said. I and dad are really tired. It was busy day today. Just go and study and clean your room.

It is a normal situation in Sen’s family. She is too young to understand her parents why they work so hard. Both her mum and dad grew in poor family. That’s why they wanted to earn a lot of money and they don’t want their child to have the same experience as them. Now, they are rich enough to enjoy life but they are not satisfied with what they’ve got.

-Sen’s room-
“I hate them! I am not their daughter! I will never do what they told me to do. Never !!”
She is seeing her face from the mirror and thinking if there’s anything that looks similar with her dad or mum. “Ah…. I don’t want to talk to them. I wish they were just animal that can’t speak”. Sen spoke to herself and smiled while she was imagining her mum and dad are animal.

“Sen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ can you come to help me? Mum screamed.
“No I am busy”
“Sen, can you go to supermarket and get a bottle of juice ?
“No I am busy”
“Sen, can you pass that salt?
“No I am busy”
Whenever mum and dad ask to do something her answer is always “No, I am busy”


-Sunday morning-
“Honey I think we should do something with Sen. She is really angry this time. She is so different from last time. Mum told dad with worried voice.
“Ok! Let’s go to picnic.”
They decided to go to the sea and have dinner at the Masato that is expensive Japanese restaurant.
“Sen! Do you wanna go to the sea? Dad will buy you really delicious food for dinner.
“No I am busy”
“Can you be a good girl at least today? Please? It’s good chance to gather family together. Dad is persuading Sen to go together.
“Ok but only today that I follow you. Don’t think I forgive you I still hate you.”
“Oh ok thank you anyway”

-2hours after driving-
“Dad!! How long do I more have to just sit in the car?
“Wait! I will find shortcut!!”
“Honey! Just go the way that we went last time. Whenever you tried to find shortcut we always lost the way”.
“Don’t worries just watch how I find the way.”

“Oh my god !!!” Dad screamed.
“What’s wrong?????” Both Sen and mum screamed as well.
“I don’t know where to go. I’ve never seen that long tunnel before.

hey kristy, good job on ur proposal..i think your story line is quite interesting and it seems very informal.which is good.hahaha.There are just two things that you could consider.I dont really know this movie or novel.I havent heard of it before.so maybe you could give some historical background if possible so i would have an idea of what this story is all about..and another thing its good 2 proof read your work as there are some grammar errors or words that you have missed out.I think then it will much easier to read but i really enjoy reading it.So good luck...looking forward 2 seeing more.=)hp my comments are useful.hehe

Hi, Kirsty~ I found that Sen is very cute character-kk (even though she's bit naughty..k) very normal as a child~ ^^;;
I think ur fanfic is very vivid~ and I really wanna see Sen's picture~ kkk
I could guess that something's gonna happen in that long tunnel and really wonder what that will be~
Good luck and looking forward to see the rest of it! *^^*

Hi,Kirsty
I think your character Sen is really naughty and spoiled, so what will happen next in the tunnel? Is there something weird like in the original film? Or,-- something give Sen a lesson to let her to be a good girl? I'm quite curious to read the next part of your fan fiction. Looking forward.....

Well, she seems normal enough to me based on western kids ;_ ; but certainly different from the very demure Sen at the start of Spirited Away. A Japanese friend once joked with me that in NZ children bring up the parents, the opposite of Japan (except perhaps in Miyazaki movies ^^

This very different set up switches things from the magical atmosphere of the original to something a bit more like a sitcom drama (and probably more true to family life today? ^-^;;

I agree with the Grace that we want to know what happens - is there going to be a transition from the ordinary (scratchy, domestic) world to some exceptional one, like inSen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi? (I personally *_* all Miyazaki's movies). Look forward to it.
