Penguin Surprise
AKB48 ONE-SHOT Anthology
A/N: The Penguin thing comes from Goodbye Penguins by Greg Stones. All credit for the picture book goes to him.
“One penguin was abducted…. One penguin was strangled by a robot….. One penguin……….”
A tall girl with somewhat short black hair sat at a desk while trying to think of something. She continuously played around with her pencil and naturally curled up in a puppy smile.
“One penguin didn’t see the squirrel…..”
In her mind, she thought about her airheaded friend Haruna and the erted squirrel Yuko. Of course, she didn’t write down that type of thing. Right now, Matsui Jurina had the task of writing a picture book. It was starting to get weird, but due to the fact that she forgot about a certain important someone’s birthday, she was just going to keep on going.
“One penguin found a balloon………”
Remembering the fact that the wavy haired squirrel was afraid of balloons, that penguin could also be that Kojima Haruna-san. It was funny but Kojiharu wouldn’t be pulled into a sky by a balloon.
“One pengu-“
“Hey, Jurina what you doing?”
A midget without her signature ponytail came walking over, interrupting the girl’s train of thought. This midget was Takahashi Minami, Takamina, once called the “Senpai in failing jokes” by Jurina. Takamina was either bored right now or she got rejected by Maeda who was currently not related to AKB anymore and on a job for a drama filming.
“Hrm…..writing something…..”
“Really? Well, if I can help, I’ll tell you something interesting!”
Takamidget suddenly became all enthusiastic. Good or not, this probably wasn’t the time to listen to [Takahashi Minami’s Talks]. It would be a bit rude to say no as Jurina and Minami were somewhat friends in a way.
“…..My story is about penguins……”
“…………………”
It seemed that the midget didn’t really have anything on penguins at the moment, thus creating a silence.
“…….Takafail………”
Due to the fact that Jurina was also somewhat stuck at the moment, she made a somewhat stupid pun. Yes, the senior-junior of failing jokes in AKB. Truly, that is true.
“I’ll climb these stairs!!”
Thus, Takamina walked away, screaming lines from a certain hot-blooded youth drama in which Jurina played a large role in the second season of. It had been quite some time since Jurina last saw that scene.
“So….getting back to this story…….”
“….One penguin was crushed by a safe…..”
“…..One penguin misjudged Dracula…..”
“Jurina-chan, so you’re writing a story? I heard it from Takamina, so she’s your senpai in failing jokes eh?”
Umeda Ayaka, a girl with average height and some cute little fangs came by. She’s a few years older than Jurina, but it’s hard to say if they really know each other that well. It’s a bit ironic how the most vampire like girl in the group suddenly comes by as Dracula pops up. So who would be the lucky penguin that proposes to Ume-chan?
“Uh-huh…….”
“Well, since I don’t know about penguins, I guess I’ll be going!”
She happily ran off. It was a bit strange, but today is strange.
So then of course, the squirrel and the cyborg come along. Oshima Yuko and Watanabe Mayu, the wavy brown haired midget and the cute Japanese moe otaku, those two together are the Oshiri sisters. And no, they aren’t some kind of superheroes, more like two erts.
“Mou~ Jurina, Yukirin got mad at me when I touched Myao’s oshiri for fun.”
“So did NyanNyan when I d Yuki…”
“What!!? Oshiriko, you d my Yukirin!!!”
“Erm……”
“Grah!!!”
“Shiriri-chan!!!”
“Could you guys take your arguments about Oshiri somewhere else……?”
““Aye, -sama~””
Finally, the writer can finally get back on task. Writing and drawing, penguins and strangely tragically comedic scenes, there’s only one more page. One page is enough for hundreds of emotions. It’s supposed to be special, but it’s hard to decide what to put in it.
Then, a tall and skinny girl with long black hair came walking by. She wore a black jacket with a dragon design over a black one-piece. It was somewhat like her Gekikara costume, but this was probably because she was in a hurry, so she just pulled some random stuff out of her wardrobe.
“Ah, Rena-chan...”
“Jurina……..”
“Erm…… Could you read my book for me?”
“Hrm….It’s….hard to explain… The last page is blank…..”
“……………………Is it bad……? Did I do badly?” Jurina looked sad, worried that she did something bad.
“No, not at all……”
“……?”
“Because………I know what the last page is…….”
“….Rena-chan?” She made a puppy-dog look.
“…The last penguin lived happily ever after………The last penguin fell in love………”
“………………….”
“…………………”
Due to saying such a line, the skinny girl, Matsui Rena started blushing uncharacteristically. Of cours saying such a thing to begin with was a bit bold for her.
“Rena-chan! I love you! Chuu~~”
A/N: Wow, this turned out better than I expected.
