Lum was up in her UFO trying to figure out a way to strengthen her and Darling's relationship. He was a perverted teenage boy who liked to flirt with other girls and not give a damn about Lum. None the less she loved him, she was his fiancé and she felt that he loved her as much as she loved him, at least deep down somewhere. So he's lecherous, she can live with that, right? No, she was at her limit. Asking other women on dates is not how a fiancé acts. She'd thought of everything she could do to keep him hers but in the end she really couldn't think of anything besides the obvious solution.

Lum was taking a jog since it was getting warmer and summer was approaching. She liked to feel the warm air running through her hair as she took a turn towards the park. She hadn't seen Darling since school ended and she was beginning to miss him. At least until she saw him flirting with a few girls over by the fountain. Her anger charged up and flew out as lightning. She hadn't meant to send out such a rough spark but she couldn't help it, he was her Darling and she couldn't stand it when he flirted with other girls. She couldn't even remember when he last said anything to her in a flirty way. Hot tears stung her eyes at the thought of how long it had been since they did anything couple-like. She decided it was time to go home and get ready to tell him her idea. Pushing the tears back like she always seemed to do, she flew home without a second thought as Ataru watched her go.

Ataru came into the house just as she finished setting the table. She went up to her UFO to change into something a little different than her normal tiger striped bikini. She felt as though telling him the proposition she had for him needed a little dressing up.

Ataru noticed the candle light and walked in the living room to find the small table decorated with plates and silverware, set for two. He knew this was Lum's doing since his parents were not going to be home until late. Today was a special night for his mother and father, it was a seldom occasion for the two of them to go out to a dinner by themselves. He went ahead and sat down and waited for whatever Lum had prepared. He heard her walking down the stairs so he started sort of fidgeting; she was walking so slowly he could barely contain his curiosity at what she had planned. She didn't do these kinds of things and he was sure he'd be surprised. Surprised was an understatement, he was absolutely astounded at the sight before him. Lum was wrapped in a tight blue dress that went to her knees. The dress was a strapless wonder. He wondered how dresses like that held up, but then he noticed those beautiful mounds of hers seeming to have gotten bigger since he had last taken the time to gaze upon her. She walked over and started to serve the food. (takeout of course since she knew Ataru didn't like the spicy food she made) After everything was set and in place they began to eat and just keep up short conversation.

After everything was consumed and Ataru couldn't take the suspense anymore he finally blurted out, "So what was this all about, Lum?"

She just kind of stayed quiet for a moment then looked him straight in the eyes put a small smile on her face. He knew she put a lot of thought into this because she looked a little pained trying to say it. She finally said the words, "I think we should take a break." End of chapter 1

*This is my second fic and it's the first one I'm going to do with chapters. So this was the first and I'm very excited about it's outcome. The idea just came to me while I was listening to music. I'd been thinking about multiple ideas for different couples lately and this one just jumped at me so I hope it turned out like I hope. Chapter two is coming soon.
