[The home-invasion-style love story of cheerful Miranda and shy Superboy]

Synopsis

Miranda is a student at Smallville High. This summer, she falls for Jonathan, a handsome boy who just transferred to her school.

Who knows what kind of magic God gave that face? A single careless smile is enough to make Miranda's heart race.

Jonathan: Wears a one-shoulder bag, [casually] runs a hand through his hair, lightly purses his lips.

Miranda: Tsk, what a player!

Jonathan has noticed how intensely she looks at him, but he won't be in Smallville long. He can't just drift into a relationship without thinking it through.

So he deliberately avoids spending time with Miranda.

In the first week, she meets the football team captain.

In the second week, they hold hands and dance at the farm fair.

By the... They've even decided to go swimming at the beach! Wild swimming!

Unable to take it any longer, Jonathan grabs Miranda, who's picking out a bikini at a swimsuit shop. "You can't go to the beach with him. There's a hurricane coming this weekend. It'll blow you away."

Miranda is only picking out a change of clothes for her mother, and looks slightly surprised. "How could it? If we hold on to each other, we won't get blown away."

Miranda twists the knife without meaning to. "It's okay, I won't go with you. See? I've pretended not to know you all these past few weeks."

Jonathan says nothing, just takes her by the hand and leads her out. "You just can't go with him!"

But he can't say why.

He gets his wish and pushes her away, yet can't help feeling miserable and upset. They'll celebrate on a yacht, kiss, and she'll hold onto his arm with him in her heart and eyes...

Enough! Jonathan's eyes flash red, and, to his father's shock, he cuts down a tree.

Miranda emerges from behind Clark, trembling with fear. "Hey, even if you don't want me to go, you can't crush me to death!"

Upcoming story: Gotham's Top-Rated Customer Service Agent

Synopsis:

Jobs are hard to find these days, and even harder to find in Gotham.

Through a friend's connections, Elena finally lands a customer service job at a company.

How dare they! She's a lowly 895,112, after all!

She checks her bank balance and heads to the office, full of gratitude.

The company's name is something like Wayne Butt.

Never mind. The important thing is that the company provides insurance and housing fund, meals and a place to stay, and sometimes she can even sleep in the boss's office.

Coworker: Can you really...?

Elena: He told me to go there!

**

Elena diligently memorizes her customer service scripts.

"Welcome. How may I help you?"

Bruce: "Did you like the roses today?"

Click.

"Buy our product now and get three years of free repairs!"

Bruce: "You crushed my chest last night. Do you offer repairs, miss?"

Click.

"We sincerely apologize for your unpleasant experience. We'll continue working to improve, and thank you for your ongoing support..."

Bruce: "Baby, wasn't our experience good enough? About being big..."

Power off.

A letter arrives in Bruce's inbox.

"What kind of illness makes the boss so narcissistic?"

"Does this playboy not understand what a one-night stand means?"

"Please don't doubt the abilities of a top-rated customer service agent."

"P.S. Heart. I miss you tonight too. Heart. Get cleaned up and wait for me in bed."

"P.P.S. Stop letting the supervisor find out we're dating!!!!"
