--"Hey, viewers! Cam, here," Cam says. He's in the edit room with Zack. Zack is quiet and working on the large computers. "So… lately the letters coming in to the staff are saying that we've been focusing too much on Ataru Moroboshi and/or Lum… Zack what's Lum's last name?" Cam asks. Zack doesn't reply. "Alright… Anyways, a lot of the letters, most of them female, suggested we should be showing more of Mendou Shutaro. So today's episode will be dedicated to all you Shutaro fans out there," Cam finishes. "Seriously, what's her last name?" Cam asks Zack.--

--"So you'll be doing a special on my life today? Well you have chosen a magnificent main character for your filming. One who is rich…" Mendou says as he smiles. "Handsome…" he adds as he graces his hair with his hand. "And powerful," he finishes right before drawing his katana and slicing the chair in front of him with quick speed. The chair falls apart into four or five pieces.--
Onsen-Mark is teaching the class. Ataru is trying to get the attention but Mendou is the star today. Onsen-mark swiftly turns, throwing an eraser at Ataru. "Moroboshi! Stop fooling around!" he yells. Ataru nearly dodges the eraser. Mendou smoothly laughs at Ataru's failed attempts.
Later, the bell rings for school dismissal. "How about I show all my lovely fans out there the Mendou Estate? I shall take you by limo," Mendou says to camera view, smiling. Ataru pops up behind him. "Why thank you! We would love to take your limo to your mansion!" he calls, placing his hand on Mendou's shoulder. "I WASN'T INVITING YOU!!" Mendou snaps. Lum appears behind Ataru. "If Darling's going, I want to come too," she says with a smile. "Miss Lum, of course YOU are permitted to join me in my limo," Mendou replies smiling at Lum. "Then it's settled! Off to—" Ataru starts. "MENDOU'S HOUSE!!" Cherry pops up out of nowhere, causing a randomness explosion.
Mendou's Limo
Mendou is sitting in one of the seats on one side of the limo while Ataru, Lum, and Shinobu sit in seats opposite to him. Mendou angers as Ataru sits between Lum and Shinobu. Ataru attempts to put his arm around Shinobu only to receive a punch in the face from one side, and a bite on the arm from the other. "Moroboshi! You're causing a disruptance in my private limo!" Mendou yells. "Well if you don't want me here, why did you invite me?" Ataru asks. "I NEVER INVITED YOU!!" Mendou snaps. "Young Master, we have arrived," the man in black glasses driving announces. After exiting Mendou's private limo, the limo drives away. "Let me start by showing you the main house," Mendou starts as he approaches the large door. The door is already opened and standing in front of it are three people. They are Mendou's parents and sister, Ryoko. Ryoko is slightly crying, wiping her tears with a handkerchief. Mendou walks up to her. "Ryoko, what-" he starts. "RYOKO!" Ataru calls as he pushes Mendou down. "What's wrong??" he asks. "Mr. Moroboshi… the Mendou family has… lost all of its money…" Ryoko answers, weeping. "WHAT??" Mendou calls as he stands back up. "Y-you… you-you-you-you-you mean we're POOR??" Mendou calls. Ryoko nods, still drying her tears. "HOW? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?" Mendou demands. "It was dear Grandfather's gambling… he lost every bit of money we had… Big brother I'm going to go stay at a friend's house, you should find a place to sleep too…" Ryoko says as she walks off. Two Kuroko are waving to her goodbye, sniffling. Shinobu walks to beside Mendou. "Mendou… are you alright?" she asks. Mendou's mouth is wide open yet he is unable to speak. Ataru bursts out laughing. "Hahahaha! The all powerful Mendou is now even more poor than ME!" Ataru declares, still laughing. Mendou draws his blade. "Moroboshi…" he starts. As he prepares to strike Ataru, one of the Kuroko takes the blade out of his hands. "Our apologies, but this doesn't belong to you anymore either…" he says. The two Kuroko walk through the doors and the doors shut, leaving Mendou outside. Mendou falls to his knees. "How… can this be happening… to me?" he asks himself. Silence falls on the four teenagers. "Does this mean we have to walk home?" Ataru asks.
Pa Pa Pajama Jama Da!

Tonogata Gomen Asobase.
Hallways
Mendou has been weeping in his desk for most of the day. He seems to want to be alone. The hallways are empty save for Ataru and Lum, who is clinging to his arm. "Darling…" she starts. "What is it now?" Ataru asks. "We're alone… so…" Lum starts. "So…" Ataru quotes. Lum closes her eyes and leans in. Ataru pushes her back. "Why won't you kiss me? You've done it once before…" she replies. "And what happened when I did?" Ataru asks.
--"Darling has really only kissed me once and it was when we thought we were alone and we were in a dark concealed place. After I convinced him, while we were kissing, at some point the walls had come down and we found ourselves surrounded by our friends. Since then it's been even HARDER to get him to do stuff with me…" Lum explains.--
"Darling, this time we're REALLY alone," Lum points out. "What about Cam?" Ataru asks. "He's not here," Lum notes. "Pfft. That guy is like superman, he knows when he needs to be somewhere. If he's not filming us now he's definitely on his way. That guy kinda creeps me out sometimes…" Ataru shivers. "You know, you're right… he always seems to be in the right place at the right time…" Lum replies, looking around.
Classroom
Mendou is sobbing in his desk. The girls of the class are gathered aside. Comments can be heard such as "Did you hear? Mendou has lost all his money!", "What? Mendou is poor?", and "Well he still has his looks right?" Mendou slowly lifts up his head. "My entire family fortune… gone… how could this happen to me?" Mendou says to himself. "Without my wealth… my dreams of getting close to Miss Lum are drifting further and further away…" he continues. "What am I to do? I'll be forced to live the life as a… commoner!" Mendou adds.
Anna Miller's
Mendou, Shinobu, Ryuunosuke, and Megane are sitting at one of the tables inside. "There, there, Mendou," Shinobu attempts to comfort. "Ya, man. It's not like your life is completely over. You've still got… well…" Ryuunosuke starts to think. "I've got…" Mendou repeats. "I don't know… Why'd you guys even bring me here?" Ryuunosuke asks. Lum glides over to the table. "Here are your orders," she says, smiling. "Miss Lum…" Mendou starts. He takes her hand. "After losing my wealth, I find it a great deed of fortune to be served by one such as you," he says. "Heh heh… that's very nice… I have more orders to take," Lum replies as she leaves. Mendou slams his head on the table. He looks at the plate in front of him. "So this is commoner food…" he says as he takes a fork and knife. "Try it, Mendou," Megane suggests. "Ya, you'll have to get used to this food eventually…" Shinobu adds. Mendou takes a sample taste of the food and sighs. "So this is the life I'm forced to live…" Mendou replies. Ryuunosuke angers. "Hey man, we eat this kind of food everyday! Are you saying our lives suck or something?" Ryuunosuke yells. "T-That's not what I meant--" Mendou panics. Meanwhile, Ataru is talking to one of the waitresses. Lum flies over, clamps on to him, and electrocutes him.
After the four eat, Lum and Ataru join them. "My shift is pretty much over so I'll go with you guys, I guess," Ataru says. "I just need you guys to pay then I'll be done too," Lum adds. "Mendou, pay the bi--" Megane starts. Ataru smiles and nudges Megane's shoulder. "Looks like you're gonna have to pay, Megane," Ataru points out. "Hey…" Megane starts. "You get Mendou to cover your tabs too, you know," he whispers. Ataru realizes this.
--"Whenever we go to restaurants and stuff like that, we usually get Mendou to pay for our bills," Ataru explains. "He also uses his family's money to take us to his private vocational spots… and any events we have to fund for in school. He even provided us with the funds to film a couple of student movies… I can't believe I'm saying this but… Mendou losing all his money sucks!" he finishes.--
Moroboshi House
It's night time and Mendou is sitting in the Moroboshi's living room. "Thank you, Miss Lum, for letting me stay with you tonight," he says. "Really, it's no trouble," she says smiling. "No trouble… it's more my house than it is hers…" Ataru mumbles. "Darling, I'm gonna go soon," Lum says. "Yeah, yeah…" Ataru mumbles. "You mean you won't be sleeping here?" Mendou asks. "Nope, I'm going to my UFO for the night. You'll be sleeping in Darling's room instead of me," she smiles. Mendou falls over.
--"Lum told me that she could let me go with her in her UFO tonight if I wanted. So… Sleep with Lum… Sleep with Mendou…" Ataru says, gesturing a balance with his hands. "Sleep with LUM… Sleep with Mendou…" he continues.--
"I'll just sleep down here tonight…" Ataru decides. "Did you hear that, Miss Lum? Now there's another place in the room for--" Mendou starts but is interrupted by a mallet to the head by Ataru. Somebody knocks on the door. Ataru goes to open it while Lum and Mendou follow. The man at the door is wearing a black suit and black glasses. Upon seeing Mendou he smiles and seems relieved. "Young Master! So this is where you have been!" the man says. "Weren't you one of Mendou's men in black glasses?" Ataru asks. "I am… ever since he was dropped off after school; no one has seen or heard from the Young Master! We started searching for him a few hours ago," the man answers. "Wait… why were you looking for me exactly?" Mendou asks. "Young Master, you are the son of the Mendou Family, why wouldn't we look for you?" the man asks. "But… I was told… Ryoko said… RYOKO!!" Mendou begins to get angry. "MY SISTER! SHE MADE THE ENTIRE STORY UP!!" Mendou yells.
Mendou Mansion Door
Mendou walks straight up to the door and knocks. Ryoko opens it. "Big Brother! What are you doing here? I told you we were poor now," Ryoko says. "YOU LIED TO ME! YOU MADE THE WHOLE THING UP, DIDN'T YOU?" Mendou asks. "Big Brother! How could you accuse your only sister of doing such a terrible thing? I hate you!" Ryoko calls as she closes the door, leaving behind an explosive as she does. Mendou is hit by the blast. "Ry-o-ko…" Mendou grumbles as he slowly gets up. "I'll get you for this…" he finishes.
--Cam is in the edit room with Zack. "Hey guys. I never met Ryoko so I don't really know her that well… Is she some sort of prankster or something?" Cam asks. "Anyways, I know I saw Mendou's parents there when Ryoko told Mendou they lost their money. I can't believe they'd prank him so Zack's looking through the footage to find some answers…" Cam explains. Zack is working on the computer. "Here we go… and there they are…" Zack says. "They aren't speaking… Okay, they're out of view and—wait, rewind that…" Cam says. "There! Pause!" Cam calls. In the still frame, everyone is looking at Ryoko, backs facing the parents. Clothes are being taken off. "Those look like the… Kuroko!" Cam realizes. "Well… problem solved… now get out, I've got some editing to do," Zack orders.--
Higure no machi wa usuku kirameki.
Donna otoko mo yasashiku mieru.
Suki na no wa anata hitori yo.
Kimagure na koi ja nai no yo.
Yosomi o suru no wa yamete yo!
Watashi ga dare yori ichiban...
Anata ni aeba "Besame te Quiero."
Yozora ni step "Ame Usted."
Sugu yoake ga kuru.
Ai ga kiete yuku
Sugu hitori ni naru.
Tada sore ga kowai yo.
It's not just my imagination...
Filling me with anticipation...
Come on, give in to the temptation...
'Cuz I'm the one you really need!
