Just a side note, if you haven't figured it out yet, when paragraphs are in -- … -- it means that the character is doing a "talking head".
--Cam is standing outside a door in the school hallways. "Okay… so my first day on the job was… interesting… That was a few months ago, and since then I've been able to go around Tomobiki and get a good sense about what goes on," he says. He points to the door. "I was GOING TO show you the guy who does the editing but he freaking locked the door and won't let me in so…" he sighs. "Right… anyways, today is October 10th and that means the guards are gonna throw Lum's 2nd year anniversary on earth party. Let's get to it then," Cam says. --

"Darling!" Lum calls. She chases Ataru down the hallway. "I don't want to go!" Ataru calls as he runs off.
--"Today marks two years since Lum came to earth and Megane is throwing another party… I still remember what happened last year…" Ataru says. --
-- "Darling said that his life had been miserable ever since I came to earth. After the party, I left to meet my dad because I had to fill out that stupid paper work that lets me stay on earth another year and Darling thought that I left him!" Lum says. She smiles. "He was so upset… it was funny cause when I got back, he acted like he didn't care," Lum says, still smiling. --
Hallways
Lum has caught Ataru. "Darling! Why dontcha want to come to my party?" Lum asks. "Same reason I didn't want to go last year!" Ataru yells as he is held on the ground. "I want you to be there, though. It's important for you to be there because it's my birth-" Lum stops talking. "It's your what?" Ataru asks. "Nothing!" Lum says as she lets go of Ataru. "Did you say that today is your birthday?" Ataru asks. "Umm…" Lum doesn't know how to answer. "Wait… why would your birthday just happen to fall on the day you came to earth?" Ataru asks.
-- "When my dad came to invade earth, he was doing it as a birthday present and if I won the tag race…" Lum says, looking down. "Earth would be given to… me…" she adds. "I avoided telling Darling that cause I thought he'd get mad at me…" she continues. --
Ataru stands up and walks away from Lum. Lum flies away, moping. The crackle of Megane's voice can be heard. "S-she – she was…" he starts. "Hey, Megane, now we won't have to worry about Ataru being at the party," Chibi points out. "That's right! We can have our party for Miss Lum and not worry about that Ataru ruining it like last year!" Megane says with delight.
Classroom
The bell signaling the end of the day rings and everyone begins getting their things ready to leave. Ataru is still silent and appears to be ignoring Lum. Megane walks up to Lum with the other three guards behind him. "Miss Lum, we have prepared a party in celebration of your second year here on earth," he says. Lum looks over at Ataru who is still ignoring her. Mendou quickly steps in. "Moroboshi won't be attending. Seeing as how you two appear to be having a fight right now, it would be awkward to invite him," he says. Lum looks at Mendou angrily. "What happens between me and Darling is none of your business!" she yells at him. She flies over to Ataru. "Darling…" she begins. Ataru readily ignores her and leaves the room. "Darling…" Lum says quietly. "Miss Lum… will you still attend the party?" Megane asks.
Café
Megane and friends, as well as Lum in her tiger-strips, are sitting at a table in the café. Megane raises his glass above the table. "A toast! Miss Lum has been on earth for exactly two years!" he calls. Everyone cheers their glass. "The best part about THIS party is that Ataru's not here to mess it up like last year," Megane notes. Lum looks sad after the last comment.
-- "I wanted Darling to be here… Right now he's mad at me and I don't know what I can do to get him to talk to me…" Lum says. --
Lum gets out of her seat. "What's the matter, Miss Lum?" Mendou asks. "I don't think I can enjoy this party if Darling isn't here…" she replies. "Miss Lum--" Megane starts. "Thank you all for the party," Lum says, showing a smile. She then leaves the café. Megane quickly angers. "Ataru… Even when you're not here you still ruin things for the rest of us!" he yells. "CURSE YOU ATARU!!" he calls, one foot on the table as he does so.
Outside the Moroboshi House
Lum just arrives at the door. Ataru opens it before she gets a chance to. "Darling!" Lum says, smiling. "Lum… You can't come inside…" Ataru says, with a serious face. "Why not?" Lum asks. "You just can't… Why don't you go back to your UFO?" Ataru suggests. He closes the door before hearing a response. "D-Darling… Why are you…" Lum says to herself.
Pa Pa Pajama Jama Da!

Tonogata Gomen Asobase.
Classroom
Shinobu is doing the after school cleaning. With her are three other female students.
-- "What? Are you serious? I guess I can understand why Ataru might be mad… celebrating one's birthday by invading a planet does seem pretty bad… but he won't even talk to her?" Shinobu asks. She continues cleaning. "I can't imagine Ataru being that cold…" she adds. --
Hallways
A group of girls are walking down the hallway. "Really? Lum and Darling are having a fight right now?" a girl with pink hair asks, smiling. "Ya, apparently Lum's birthday was celebrated by the invasion of the planet two years ago," a fellow female student responds. "Wow, I can't believe that," the girl responds, still smiling. Onsen-Mark walks in on them. "Hey! What are you three still doing here? It's after school hours," he asks. "Ran, wanted to come back to get something," one of the girls reply. "Really? What did you come back for?" Onsen-Mark asks the pink haired girl. "Ran wanted to get paper," she replies, smiling and referring to herself. "Paper?" Onsen-Mark appears confused.
-- "That girl is very strange… What would she need paper for?" Onsen-Mark asks. "Hey, are the rumors true? About Miss Lum and her… birthday?" he asks. --
Ran and the other two girls come out of a room carrying a large roll of paper. Shinobu passed them. "What are you three doing?" she asks. "You two go without me, I'll see you later," Ran says with a smile. "So why are you here?" she asks. "I had class cleaning today," Shinobu replies. She motions Shinobu to come closer. They go inside the room and Ran lightly closes the door behind them. Whispering is heard but it is not understandable except for the "What?", "That doesn't sound like Ataru!" and "Is he really doing that?" that is screamed by Shinobu's reaction. Shinobu and Ran exit the room. "When is this happening?" Shinobu asks. "Soon…" Ran replies, still smiling.
Streets
Up on the top of a very large pole, Lum sits, weeping. "Darling… You won't even speak to me… was what I did really that terrible?" she asks herself. She looks up. "Darling… after all this I haven't even said…" she starts. "I'm sorry…" she adds. (Music ends by now) A baby in a tiger stripped diaper slowly flies towards Lum from the sky. "Lum-Chan!" he calls. "Ten-Chan! What's wrong?" Lum asks. "That idiot, Ataru, wants to see you. He looks pretty mad, what's going on?" Ten asks. "I'll explain it to you after…" Lum replies, depressed. She slowly flies away and Ten follows.
Moroboshi House
Lum flies to the door. She seems hesitant to open it. Luckily, Ataru opens it first, from the inside. "Lum…" he says quietly. "Let's go into the living room," Ataru says, with a serious look on his face. Lum follows him inside. Upon entering, as they turned the corner, about 20 people are already in there. "Surprise!!" they call. Lum looks very confused. Among the people are Shinobu, Ran, Megane, the rest of the guards, Mendou, and some other friendly faces. "What's going on?" Lum asks, still confused. "It looks like your friends planned a surprise birthday party for you. That's really too bad. If I were to get mad at you now I would look like a pretty bad person," Ataru answers, still with that serious look on his face.
Party has begun
"Wow, Ran! You made the banner?" Lum asks, looking at a long paper banner on the wall that reads 'Happy Birthday Lum!' on it. "I helped too," Shinobu buts in. "I'm so surprised, I never expected to receive a birthday party considering what's been going on lately," Lum says, smiling. Mendou walks into the conversation. "Well when Moroboshi told us it was your birthday and suggested the surprise party we didn't have a choice but to—" Mendou starts. "Darling organized this?" Lum interrupts. "He called in as many of us as he could who would be able to come in on such short notice," Ran explains. "I didn't even hear about it until Ran told me because I hadn't gotten home yet," Shinobu explains. "We got our messages after you left our party," Megane says as he and the guards walk in on them. "Darling…" Lum quietly says, smiling.
Ataru is standing in the crowd of people when Lum walks over to him. "Lum, I guess I should say happy birthday," he says. Lum smiles and then puts her arms around him to hug him. "Darling..." she says softly as she looks at him. She leans in to kiss him but he lightly pushes her back. "C'mon, Darling, it's my birthday…" Lum complains. "Well if that's the rule then for my birthday, I want to be free to go girl-hunting all day and if possible I would like—" Ataru starts with a grin on his face. Lum lightly slaps him on the head. "Those are two completely different things and you know it," she replies.
(The song 'Dancing Star' begins to play). "Oh, Darling! Let's dance," Lum says, with a smile. She pulls him over to a less crowded area. Lum and Ataru dance to the music. A man, wearing orange tiger-stripped clothing is eating the food whilst Ran holds his arm. On another table, Cherry and Sakura consume food equally as fast. Everybody in the room, if not at the table, is now dancing too. As Lum and Ataru dance, Lum smiles with delight.
-- Lum is smiling. "Today was… the best birthday I've ever had," she says before smiling even more. --
--
--"Well, it looks like everything turned out right in the end," Cam says, facing a door. "ZACK, OPEN THE #&?! DOOR!!" Cam yells before kicking it. Cam sighs. "If you're wondering how I managed to get from the café to Ataru's house before Lum, I ran… fast…" he explains. "You know, I'm not even supposed to follow them outside the school. Good thing I did or we wouldn't have gotten to see how this turned out... ZACK!" Cam calls. "I've got footage! Let me in!" he adds. "What's the password?" a voice on the other side of the door says. "Password? What password?" Cam asks. "Password, they gave it out at the meeting just a little while ago," Zack replies. "Dude! I was filming at that time!" Cam yells. "Can't let anyone in without the password," Zack replies. "If you just decided on it, nobody out here is gonna no the damn password!" Cam points out. --
