Dude, thank you for going above and beyond my shitpost and writing this adorable little fic. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Supercorp AU where they own a PR firm and Kara got bangs but Lena refuses to say anything about them

i’m going to improvise for this one and say Lena owns a PR firm and Kara is an actress and one of her clients:

---

When Lena first sees the photo in a less widely circulated publication, one that’s typically found in grocery store lines or airport shopping racks, she blinks. She stares at it for thirty full seconds. Jess, her intern, had put it on her desk that morning with a sticky note that simply read, Pg. 16, and Lena is simply staring at page 16.

No.

That’s not.

Why?

She’s still staring, still holding the greasy little magazine in her hand when she picks up her cell phone and dials her client. It rings twice before a bright voice answers.

“Well, if it isn’t my favorite publicist!” Kara’s voice assails her.

Lena can hear the sound of splashing water in the background, and it’s hard not to imagine her client in some kind of polka dot little number, sun-bronzed and built like an actual god on the beach. Or maybe poolside. Or a spa.

She closes her eyes and pinches the bridge of her nose.

Not now.

“Hello Mrs. Danvers,” she replies, ever the portrait of professionalism despite her internal thrashing.

“So formal, Lena, I told you to call me Kara.”

“Yes, well--”

“Also, we haven’t caught up in forever. Let’s FaceTime!”

Lena holds the phone farther away from her face as if it might turn around and bite her. FaceTime is usually reserved for Ruby, Sam’s daughter, or those otherwise under the age of 12. Not for a client. Not for Kara Danvers.

In the following seconds, she has several harassed thoughts about what she looks like. When was the last time she looked in a mirror? How is the lighting in her office? What if she’s splotchy? But it’s too late because that annoying chime is already coming through. Lena sighs deeply and accepts.

If Kara’s voice had been an assault before, the image of her, collarbone bare, red and blue bathing suit straps cutting lines through her tanned muscled shoulders and face haloed by an actual Olympus beam of sunlight is nearly unbearable. Lena works with attractive people for a living, sure, but there’s something about this client that always nearly unhinges her. It’s probably the inviting smile. The way Lena can sense she has zero personal boundary even through a FaceTime, face squished all the way into frame.

“You’re a sight for sore eyes.”

Lena nearly chokes trying to clear her throat.

“Thank you.”

“So?” Kara flutters her hand around her face. In all of Lena’s distraction, she’s just noticed... the bangs.

Bangs.

The. Bangs.

Why.

She leans back in her chair, lifting an eyebrow. Kara pinkens a bit, smile faltering, but Lena attributes it to the bright sun in her baby blue eyes.

“Did you and Mike break up?”

“What?” Kara sputters.

“Did he cheat on you?”

“No,” she says softer.

“Were you fired from Supergirl?”

“No!”

“Did you hire a new therapist?”

“Lena... why are you asking all this?”

It seems too obvious to point out. The bangs are practically aquiver. They’re just--right there in all their blown out, flat-ironed glory. And Kara’s going to get them wet when she inevitably does a cannon ball or whatever people do in pools. How will those dry? How will those photograph from some sleazy Pap hiding in the bushes? And what did it mean for Kara’s sanity, her emotional well being? Why did she cut off the front of the most gorgeous blonde hair Lena has ever born personal witness to? Kara’s hair is a force of it’s own. Blonde and thick, it flies golden free in the wind like the real-life superhero she portrays. WHY IS IT GONE? She doesn’t even look like the image of a woman coming undone, so why. Why.

“I just wanted to check on you. Make sure... you’re okay. You can tell me anything, you know.”

And it’s true. Lena will have whoever caused these bangs murdered and buried.

“I’m fine, Lena.”

Lena taps her fingers on her desk, a habit.

“Alright then. Are you enjoying the pool?”

“Yes!” Kara’s instantly cheerful again. “We’re at the Ritz downtown. You should join us.”

“Kara,” Lena chides. “I haven’t seen the sun since 1996.”

“All the more reason.”

“Next time,” Lena answers, and Kara pouts. It almost breaks her resolve, that is until Kara flutters her hand near her... bangs again.

“Are you sure there’s nothing else you want to say?”

“Absolutely not.”

Gaarmageddon Spinoff: ~Monster Idol Gaaruru is here-garu~ Part 1

So, this is a junior novel which came out recently (4/25/2017) from Ciao which contains at least two stories focusing on Gaaruru. I have decided to take it on as a project since I feel I need to start doing more independent translating.

This first part is... just an abridged retelling of episodes 20-21 of season two of the anime. But I figured if I’m gonna tackle this I might as well go big. At least, maybe someone can use this as a guide if they decide to read the original Japanese novel themselves? (It would be a good choice for beginners.)

I will translate the rest of later.

But for now enjoy this retelling in Part 1!

(Like this post to encourage me to do more translating.)

Monster Idol, Gaaruru is here-garu!

Welcome Back Falulu.

“I wonder how much longer until Falulu gets here.”

Laala stood on the roof of the PriPara TV building gazing at the vast blue sky above her head. Aside from Laala, her SoLaMi Smile team members Mirei and Sophy, as well as Dressing Pafe’s Shion, Dorothy, and Reona also looked at the endless sky. The six of them held a large banner with “Welcome Back Falulu” written upon it as they waited for the helicopter coming from PriParis to arrive at any second.

Patapatapatapata....

The large helicopter arrived on the roof. As the door opened, Falulu stepped out with her lime green curly-haired pigtails blowing in the wind. Her manager Unicorn was with her.

Falulu was a very popular vocal doll idol in PriParis PriPara. She had once performed in Parajuku PriPara, but she transferred her activities to PriParis PriPara. It had been a long time since she had seen Laala and her other friends from her time in Parajuku.

“You all look like you’re doing so well! I came just to see you!”

“Me too! I’m so happy to see you in Parajuku again-kashikoma!”

As Laala took her well-known “kashikoma” pose, everyone gathered around Falulu happily and took her hands in welcome.

When suddenly there was a strange voice.

“Kashikoma kashikoma kashikoma kashikoma kashikoma kashikoma...”

It was the voice of many small girls who looked just like Falulu. A cute, fun size of girl, they were as if you were to take Falulu and squeeze her down to mini size. The girls joined their voices together in perfect harmony repeating Laala’s catchphrase “kashikoma” over and over again and they stepped down from the helicopter. The number increased more and more until the roof was buried under all these small girls with the same green hair as Falulu.

“Wha... what are these guys...!”

“They are the MiniFalulu-dechu,” Unicorn answered to the wide-eyed Laala. “They are beings just like Falulu.”

The MiniFalulus were originally PriTickets without an owner like Falulu. Unicorn had been collecting these tickets as they fell in PriParas all over the world and scanning them, thus the MiniFalulus were born.

“They are the bright passion of girls who want to be idols. I am working hard every day to awaken these girls like Falulu who are born from those emotions.”

This was a part of Unicorn’s job in being Falulu’s manager. It also seemed that Falulu had been helping with this herself recently.

“I see. So these girls are like Falulu’s little sisters-pri. But.... even so, there are a bit too many don’t you think-pri?”

As Mirei looked at the swarm of girls with an annoyed expression, Sophy approached her from the side and said, “Hey, Mirei, Look at that girl...”

Where Sophy was pointing was at the one girl with black hair in a sea of lime green. That one girl with the mean eyes who was trying to hide herself as she stared directly at them with an angry expression.

“Who... are you...”

Without saying a word, the girl bit Sophy’s outstretched hand.

“Ah! That hurt!”

Sophy pulled back her hand.

“Hey! What are you doing!”

Although Dorothy had come over to scold her, she soon got her own butt bitten by this angry girl.

“OWWWWW~! Why are you biting me? I won’t let you get away with this!” Dorothy shouted as her face flushed red."

“Garururu!”　

As if yelling that as a warning, the black haired girl made her getaway by dashing off to parts unknown.

Gaaruru’s Rampage

“Sophy, I’m sorry.That girl... she’s called Gaaruru.... Unicorn and I don’t know what to do with her. It’s my fault that you guys got hurt because of her. Falulu... Falulu did a bad thing....” Falulu mumbled sadly as she took responsibility as Gaaruru’s big sister.

Laala comforted Falulu with her large, cheerful voice.

“That’s not true! It’s not your fault! I’m sure that girl was just surprised by being in a new town surrounded by new people... She started biting because she didn’t know what else to do!”

“Laala, thank you... but....”

According to Falulu, Gaaruru was always like this. She was always alone, would never come even if you called her, and was always quick to bite.

“Gaaruru hates singing and dance lessons. She won’t watch me or any other idols perform... and if you try to talk to her, all you can make out is her saying ‘Garuru!’ I don’t know what to do.....″ Falulu looked down as her expression grew ever darker.

“It’s no use,” said Unicorn who had been listening from the sidelines. “Unlike the MiniFalulus who are just like Falulu, Gaaruru is the exact opposite.” With a troubled expression, Unicorn continued to explain. “Like I told you before, the MiniFalulus were born from the bright passion of girls. But not Gaaruru. Gaaruru was born from the frustration of girls who wanted to become idols, but failed….”

Girls who loved idols and strived to become an idol, but their singing and dancing just did not come out right, so they gave up on becoming an idol. The worries and regrets of all these girls was inside Gaaruru.

“I see-pri… When you put it that way, you just want to help her-pri. Anyway, let’s look for Gaaruru-pri!”

“Y-yeah! Let’s do it-kashikoma!”

Nodding towards Mirei, Laala and the others decided to search for Gaaruru.

“Hey~! Everyone! I found her!” Dorothy shouted as she chased Gaaruru down a one-way street.

“Gaaruru relax~!” Reona said in a kind, soft voice, but Gaaruru was in no mood to listen. She stared angrily at Dorothy and Reona with a “Gaaruru!”

“Sorry Gaaruru, but this is 絶体絶命 (checkmate). You’re 四方八方 (surrounded on all sides), a dead end!”

Gaaruru slipped from Shion’s hands as she tried to grab her and bounded towards Laala and the others behind them.

“Gaaruru, hey, listen,” Laala said with her hands outstretched. “I, well before I came to PriPara I had a complex with my loud voice. But, ever since I started performing… AH! Ouch!”

Gaaruru cut Laala off with a swift bite.

“Gaaru, gaaru, gaaaaru…!”

“Gaaruru says she absolutely hates dance and song,” Sophy murmured.

“Owowow, Sophy how do you understand her..?”

“I wonder why…..?”

Gaaruru slipped under their legs and ran off somewhere else.

After giving Laala and company the slip, Gaaruru found herself sneaking into the PriPara TV “Programation Room.”

This was a control room for the weather inside PriPara. Today just happened to be a routine inspection day, and just a moment ago the Meganee responsible was checking the system using “Weather SD Cards.” As Meganee inserted the “Rain” card into the control system rain fell from the PriPara sky, when she inserted the “Rainbow” card a large rainbow appeared, and with the “Shooting Stars” card lots of stars streamd across the sky. All of PriPara’s weather, including night, day, and the color of the sky, was all controlled by the Programation System.

“Okay, that’s the last one for today. I’ll finish the rest of the checks tomorrow.”

Meganee had left the room with those words about five minutes earlier, also leaving behind the remaining cards on the control desk. At that time, by holding open the door just as it was about to close, Gaaruru had stealthily snuck into the room.

On the outside, seeing Laala and friends frantically searching for Gaaruru, Aroma and Mikan eagerly joined the search too as the PriPara Idol Movement Great Search for Gaaruru began.

“And now, Aroma will search for Gaaruru’s hiding place with her grateful prophecy!” Said Mikan as she stood beside Aroma and struck a big pose with outstretched hands.

“Hmm. According to the Prophecy Book the small devil’s root will become a great beast and… Ahhh!”

Just as Aroma had begun to turn the pages of her book and speak to Laala and the others, on the far side beyond the towering PriPara TV building, a monster even larger suddenly showed its form.

“Hey~! Wha-what? What is~!?”

As Laala and the others pointed at the monster and began to shout, Meganee appeared with her everlasting calm smile.

“That is the monster Gadzilla. It seems to be a Programmation System error doesn’t it!”

“GA…. THE MONSTER GADZILLA…..?”

As Laala and the others stood and gasped, out of all of them, it was only Sophy who quickly entered the PriPara TV building without hesitation. Sophy climbed the stairs alone until she reached the top floor. It was there that many Meganees were attempting to combine their power to open the large blue door decorated with a bow to enter the Programation Room.

“It seems to be locked from the inside. Everyone is trying their best to get inside,” said the Meganee closest to Sophy.

Inside the room, Gaaruru sat before the Programation Control Desk as it glittered with meters and gages of red, blue, and yellow. She had haphazardly chose one of the SD cards Meganee left on the table and inserted it into the machine. This card had on it the word “Monster”!

BAM! BAM!

The ground thundered as Gadzilla walked. The buildings shook and the roofs and walls began to crumble to pieces.

“Gaaru?!”

Gaaruru, seeming to notice the reality of the trouble she had caused by inserting the cards, frantically opened the door and ran from the Programation Room.

“Oh, it seems the door was unlocked from the inside. I’ll take the “Monster” card from the machine, so please save yourself Sophy,” said one of the Meganees, but just as she was about to enter the Programation Room, the building shook with an especially loud BAAAAAANG! and the door was closed once more. Not only that, but it was stuck on a large slant.

“Since the door is off kilter it can’t open you see. We just can’t get out that ‘Monster’ card~!” Meganee’s voice cheerfully echoed.

“Gaaruru, wait…”

Sophy chased Gaaruru with all her might as she dashed up the stairs.

BAM! CRASH!

Laala and friends looked on at their wits end from the fountain plaza in front of the entrance as Gadzilla destroyed the pink heart-shaped antenna on the bow-shaped roof of the PriPara TV building.

“Gaaruru and Sophy are in the TV building-pri…”

Even Mirei who was always talkative could only look on in horror at the destructive power of the Gadzilla monster from beyond imagination.

“Wha… what should we do???”

Laala and the others could only stand dumbfounded in front of the PriPara TV building.

Patapatapatapatapata….

They heard the sound of a large helicopter, and suddenly one appeared on the spot. The helicopter, which carried Sophy Defense Squad members Sadako and Chanko, floated at low altitude just before them.

The two girls turned to Laala and company and said, “Everyone~! Get in!”

“Let’s search for Sophy and Gaaruru from the sky together-chanko!”

Meanwhile, Sophy teetered up the emergency staircase to the roof after Gaaruru.

“Gaaruru… wait… l.. let’s go back…”

Gaaruru shook her head ferociously, and just as she stepped onto the roof to escape Sophy…

“GADZILLA!”

Gadzilla roared and aimed to attack Gaaruru!

“Gaaruru watch out!”

Gathering the very last of her strength, Sophy grasped Gaaruru from the back to protect her.

“Gaaru?!”

Still hugging Gaaruru, Sophy fell to the ground with a “Pshuu~” as she had no energy left… She could not move any more…

“Gaaruru…. Run…” she said, but her voice was too small to reach Gaaruru’s ears.

Still, Sophy’s feelings had reached Gaaruru, and she knew she could not run away by herself. She shook her head and did not make any attempt to leave Sophy’s side.

“Gaaruru… listen…. The truth is, I have no energy, and… I can’t sing and dance properly… But… with a special item… Even I became able to take the stage…. This, to me, is a magic item… it is…”

Just as Sophy’s struggled speech began to disappear, with a thunderous sound the helicopter with the Defense Squad and Laala appeared just above the roof.

“Sophy-sama-------! Your Red Flash----!”

As she appeared from the helicopter, Sadako opened Sophy’s eyes. She prepared to send a Red Flash by slingshot.

Sophy’s magic item is the “Red Flash”, her word for pickled plum. As soon as she puts one in her mouth, all at once a strong energy bursts through her body.

Sophy caught the Red Flash which hurtled towards her after careful aiming by Sadako. But instead of putting it in her own mouth, she flung it into Gaaruru’s already open, surprised mouth.

“Gaaruru? Gaarurururu--!” Gaaruru coughed as she swallowed the Red Flash. As she coughed a large cough, a thorny object left her throat.

“Huh? Something came out! What is that--?”

Laala and friends, who had come down from the helicopter, fearfully approached the bristly thing.

At that time, a Meganee came from somewhere, and as oddly calm as ever, picked it up and a pair of tongs.

“Oh, this is a bristly computer bug. We will put it in the PriPara Museum!”

Gadzilla, who had been looming over to attack Gaaruru and Sophy even now, suddenly turned its back. The large group of Meganees and Security Pandas, who had joined forces down by its legs, had succeeded in grabbing its attention and causing it to leave the PriPara TV building behind.

As she took Gaaruru in her arms, Sophy teetered before Falulu.

“Falulu… please don’t scold her…”

“Thank you, Sophy. But I think we need to let Gaaruru know what she has done.” With that, Falulu faced Gaaruru straight on as her voice turned serious. “Gaaruru! You have caused so much trouble for everyone!” No one could ever imagine such a strong voice from Falulu. “PriPara is everyone’s ideal! Everyone’s dream! You tried to destroy that.”

Gaaruru listened as she sulked.

“And… even more than that… I was so worried. About you, Gaaruru. I was really… so worried…”

As Falulu spoke as though she was near tears, Gaaruru turned away. She then said:

“Gaaruru… can’t sing… or dance… I’m sad… I’m lonely….”

In the same timing that the Red Flash entered Gaaruru’s mouth, the bristly bug was extracted from her mouth, left her body, and Gaaruru’s voice became clearer than before. And even though her voice was still a bit bristly, she could finally be understood by everyone.

“I’m so glad! Gaaruru can finally talk to everyone! Hey Gaaruru, I would really like you to see us perform…” whispered Sophy with a smile as she glanced at Gaaruru.

Around that time, the Meganees in front of the Programation Room had finally succeeded in managing to open the crooked door. They quickly entered the room and removed the “Monster” card from the control desk.

“There. No more monsters.”

Gaaruru who loves performances!

“Okay, let’s do this!”

Laala, Mirei, and Sophy clutched their PriTickets.

The three scanned their tickets to the Meganee voice of, “Please scan the number of MyTickets for your coord. You can also scan the tickets of your friends.”

And so the SoLaMi Smile performance began.

Gaaruru peeked at the stage from behind Falulu in the audience.

“Watch us please, Gaaruru! Singing and dancing is so much fun!”

Sophy performed as she felt this in her heart.

“Singing and dancing is amazing-pri!”

“I’ll do my best so these feelings reach Gaaruru-kashikoma!”

Mirei and Laala gave their best smiles as they sang and danced.

And, finally, Gaaruru’s eyes were shining.

After the performance ended, Gaaruru approached SoLaMi Smile as they came down from the stage.

“THAT WAS AMAZING! AMAZING-GARU!” She turned to Falulu behind her. “I’m… sorry… Gaaruru caused trouble for Falulu and everyone… I’m really sorry…”

----A Few Days Later---

The day for Falulu to return to PriParis had arrived. The many MiniFalulus and Gaaruru would go with her.

“It was so fun spending time with everyone in Parajuku. I’ll come again!”

With a smile, Falulu got on the large helicopter that would take her, the MiniFalulus, and Gaaruru back to PriParis.

“Of course, Falulu! It’s a promise-kashikoma!”

Just as Laala said this, Gaaruru stopped following Falulu and turned to run to Laala and her friends.

“Gaaruru… will… perform! I’m gonna be the best!”

“Ahahaha!”

Dorothy began to laugh.

As she patted Gaaruru’s head she began to tease her.

“I see~ Well, go on and try to be number one if you can! But as long as I’m here, that won’t be possible!”

And so Dorothy was bitten by Gaaruru. Chomp!

“Ouch! ....? Hey it doesn’t hurt? Oh, she’s just gumming me.”

Gaaruru had bitten Dorothy, but just a light, play-bite.

“Gaaruru, even if it’s just for fun, you shouldn’t bite people,” Falulu warned her.

Gaaruru’s shoulders shrunk.

“But... Gaaruru… is a MONSTER IDOL!”

“I see~! A monster idol! This is the birth of a new idol. Come visit us again in Parajuku! We’ll be waiting-kashikoma!”

Laala looked at Gaaruru’s shining eyes and felt happy.

“Uh-huh! Gaaruru come back! I’ll perform in Parajuku-garu!”

With that, Gaaruru quickly got on the helicopter and sat next to Falulu smiling brightly.

“Bye bye!! Monster idol Gaaruru, see you again!”

Laala and the other waved until the helicopter was completely out of sight.

And so, it came to be that the Gaaruru who they met on that day came to Parajuku again after not much longer, to laugh, and cry, and become angry with Laala and her friends again…

The end.
