------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura peeped out from behind the curtains. It was a full house at the
Imperial Theater, which is no surprise, since tonight is Christmas Eve.
They were performing an original Christmas play, written by Maria. Surprisingly
enough, Maria didn’t include herself in her own play! She became the Director
instead.
Maria patted Sakura’s shoulder and smiled encouragingly as the curtains
rose. Sakura smiled back. ‘Christmas Magic!’ was about to begin...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction
(Angelica and Anna’s bedroom)
Angelica and Anna were both in bed, just tucked in by their parents. After
bidding their daughters goodnight, Mr. And Mrs. Thomas retreated from the
stage.
"Sis?" Anna asked with barely suppressed enthusiasm. She had faked being
sleepy after all, thought Angelica.
"What is it?"
"I saw Magic today! She’s a Christmas fairy and she promised me lots of
fun on Christmas!"
Angelica scoffed. "Don’t be silly. There’s no such thing as magic. Go to
sleep."
"Oh..." Replied Anna, clearly disappointed.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Act 1
(Skies of Tokyo)
"Hmm? Where am I?" Angelica looked around her, rubbing the sleep away from
her eyes. She was wearing her nightgown, but she wasn’t in her room! Her
surroundings were misty and she seemed to be floating on the skies of Tokyo
city!
"Welcome, Angelica, to my world. I am Magic, or more specifically, Christmas
Magic." Sumire stepped onstage, dressed in a sexy sea-green simmering dress
that showed off her curves well. On her back are delicate, translucent
wings. She smiled as she showed herself to Angelica.
"It’s just a dream!" Angelica muttered in disbelief, her eyes growing as
big as saucers.
Magic’s eyes shone with mischief. "Is it? I’ve worked hard to make Christmas
a happy time for everyone, but it seems like my Magic doesn’t work on you.
You even disappoint your own sister on Christmas Eve. I wonder why?"
"Wake up, wake up, wake up," Angelica kept repeating those words. Light
snow began to fall on them, and Angelica felt the icy coldness of each
tiny flake.
"Even now you refuse to believe in me? That we are indeed floating above
Tokyo city during Christmas Eve?"
Angelica shut her eyes and shook her head.
"I’m just having a dream."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Act 2
(Angelica and Anna’s bedroom)
Angelica sat up in bed. "See, it was a dream," she told herself.
Magic’s face appeared next to her.
"WAH!!" Angelica screamed and pulled her blankets. "You’re... You’re...!!!"
Magic smiled. "Yes, I’m real."
"Wah ha ha ha! So am I!" Kanna appeared in a puff of clouds, dressed in
a long red dress, with long blood red fingernails.
Angelica recoiled in horror. "Who are you?"
"I’m Charlotte, and I’m opposite everything (hmmph) Magic is! You are one
of mine!"
Magic shook her head. "Go back to where you belong. Angelica is not one
of yours!"
"Ah, but she doesn’t believe in you, nor your work, does she?" Charlotte
grinned evilly. Angelica just sat in bed, dumbstruck by the two ‘fairies’
in front of her.
Charlotte silenced Magic before she could reply. "You can have her. Since
you’re taking one of mine, I’m taking one of yours! Ha Ha Ha Ha!" Charlotte
declared, and touched sleeping Anna’s forehead. Anna began to twist and
turn, moaning uncomfortably. Charlotte laughed maniacally.
"No! Take your filthy hands of the child!" Magic ordered.
"You have no power over me!" laughed Charlotte.
"Stay away from my sister!" Angelica shouted. She got out of bed and pushed
Charlotte away from Anna. Charlotte fell backwards, knocking into a lamp
stand. Standing up, she saw Angelica trying to wake her younger sister,
but failed. Charlotte took the opportunity to pounce on Angelica.
"By the Spirit of Christmas, I command you, be gone!" A wave of sparkles washed flew from
Magic’s hands and washed over Charlotte.
"Ahh!!! You may have won for now, but Anna will awaken to be as skeptical
and cynical as a hardened soldier!" With that one last cry, Charlotte disappeared.
Angelica was worried. "Magic, would Anna be alright?"
Magic shook her head sadly. "Charlotte stole Anna’s innocence, her faith
in me. Anna would be as unbelieving as..."
"As me..." Angelica whispered. "Isn’t there a way you can make her just the
way she was?" Angelica pleaded. "I ... I really believe in you now, Magic.
I believe in Christmas, and you have to help Anna! She’s only six years
old!"
Magic smiled. "Your faith gives me strength. I will try my best, but the
rest is up to you." A shower of tiny glittering stars fluttered down on
Anna’s sleeping form.
"Remember, faith gives birth to hope. Sleep now, child. Tomorrow will be
Christmas!" The mischief returned to Magic’s eyes. With a poof, Magic disappeared.
Angelica went to sleep, without another word.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Act 3
(Angelica and Anna’s bedroom)
"Angelica! Angelica! Wake up! It’s Christmas!" Anna shouted excitedly.
"Huh? What?" Angelica said sleepily. Suddenly awake, she grabbed Anna’s
shoulders. "Anna! You’re alright!"
"Huh? What are you talking about, Sis? Anyway, I had a really scary dream.
There’s was this bad fairy that tried to hurt me, but you and Magic saved
me!" Anna said in a rush. "Wake up! It’s Christmas!"
Angelica threw off her blankets and quickly got changed. She and Anna ran
downstairs, where their parents were already waiting by the Christmas tree.
"Merry Christmas, Mom! Merry Christmas, Dad!" They both shouted. They gave
their parents a big hug and the curtains slowly came down.
The applause from the audience was thunderous. The curtains were raised
up again, and Kanna, Kohran, Sakura, Maria, Sumire, Oogami and Iris appeared
hand in hand, and gave a deep bow. The audience gave them a standing ovation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, that was Christmas Magic!, written and directed
by our very own Maria Tachibana! Thank you for watching Christmas Magic!,
and everyone from the Imperial Theater would like to wish you a very Merry
Christmas! Thank you and goodnight!" said the announcer.
The curtain came down for a final time, and the audience began to leave.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We did it!!!" Sakura and Iris jumped up and down together. Sakura was
flushed with elation at having completed her first play, where she played
a lead role. "They loved us!" She ran to Maria. "Maria, I can’t thank you
enough for letting my take part in this play!"
Maria smiled. "The pleasure was all mine."
"Hey everyone, how about a little Christmas Eve celebration?" Oogami yelled.
"My treat!"
"Yeah!" replied the Imperial Flower Group.
The End. =Þ

Author’s Notes : Okay, this is the first Sakura Wars fanfic I’ve ever written. I admit it’s a very simple, straightforward story without any sub-elements. I’ve never played Sakura Wars before but I’m very impressed by it. I hope to write more Sakura Wars fanfic in the
future. If you have any ideas, don’t hesitate to tell me all about it!
