Lum the Pest

Just a few hours ago, Danny won a contest to prevent an alien invasion. He succeeded and the Earth was saved. However, the alien princess, who he competed against is still here.

He was reminding himself of something his father said, how a battle was like marriage.

She overheard him… and has apparently made a big misunderstanding.

She thinks he wants to marry her… and accepted it.

"WHOA! Hold it!" Danny shouted. "You got it wrong!" Danny shouted as he backed away, only for Lum to walk closer, with that smile on her face.

"I disagree, Darling." Lum said. "You called me by your Earth terminology of "hot" which means attractive." She then lifted him off his feet as she levitated. "That's all the proof I need!"

Danny rolled his eyes.

"That doesn't mean- …What I-…I just-….You know what, forget it!" Danny morphs and uses his intangibility to get out of Lum's grip. "Get out of my house and off my planet!"He yelled at her as he pointed to his sill opened window.

Lum looked at Danny, taking a moment to examine his sudden transformation. Just like she thought earlier, he looks really cute this way, dare she say, he's actually pretty handsome.

Lum eyed him both appreciatively and in confusion over a bunch of things.

"What is this? Why did you not use this ability before?" She wondered.

"I guess you should have done your homework!"

Danny grabbed Lum by the wrist and, with intangibility, flew into the ceiling and dragged the alien girl with him. "I'm taking you back to space!"

As Danny flew, Lum pulled her arm out of his grasp.

"I don't think so, Darling!" She said with a huff and her hands at her hips.

"Stop calling me that!" Danny snapped, only to see a strange look in Lum's eyes.

He didn't like it.

"Now that I know what you are capable of… I wish to see what you can do!"

She fires bolts of electricity at him, causing Danny to use his shields for protection. Once they were gone, Danny fired his blasts of ectoplasmic energy at Lum.

In response, Lum twirled up to avoid the blasts.

She giggled.

"What's so funny?!" Danny demanded to know.

"It's just you're much more fun to play with now!" She said with that cutesy smile of hers.

She then flew to Danny and grabbed him by the shoulders.

"What are you-…HANDS OFF!" Danny shouted but Lum didn't let go, she just kept giggling.

"I think I like you a lot!" Lum said as she come in to kiss Danny, who naturally freaked out at the sight of her lips.

"Whoa!"

In response, Danny used intangibility to get away from her before she could kiss him and he immediately tried flying away from her.

This causes Lum to be surprised, but she only giggles again.

"I can see you're shy… I think it's cute!" Lum shouted to her love.

"I AM NOT BEING SHY!" Danny shouted at her,

Lum has a mischievous smile as she fires more bolts of electricity at Danny. He manages to dodge all but the last one, causing him to fall down.

"AH!" Danny shouted.

Danny lands in the middle of the street…painfully.

"This brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "Love Hurts"."Danny muttered to himself.

Getting up, he sees Lum hovering while waving playfully at him. Danny sent her a glare.

"She's not that pretty…" He mutters as he comes charging in with his hands glowing.

Once he's close enough, Danny fires and sends Lum flying upward. Once she appears gone, he sighs in relief. "It's back to space for her."

He turns around and chuckles lightly before he's tackled with a hug by the alien girl.

"That wasn't too nice! But you're too cute to not forgive." She said as she actually managed to kiss him on the cheek just now.

Danny grumbled and phased out of her grip again and immediately tried to wipe it clean, still glaring at her.

"Will you please go back to… wherever in the universe you came from?!" Danny demanded.

"I can't do that now!" Lum said as her hands are together. "I think I've fallen in love!"

"Well, I have NOT!" Danny shouted at her and Lum pouted.

"Yes, you have!" Lum said stubbornly.

Danny groaned.

"Okay, you clearly aren't listening, so… I'll just make you leave!" He decided.

He fired blasts at her again. In response, Lum shot lightning bolts that collide with his blasts. The explosion causes smoke to block their view of each other. Despite this, Danny could still hear her laughter.

"This is a fun game we're playing, darling!" Lum said playfully.

"This isn't a game, Lum! Go home!" He was getting very annoyed with her.

"Not unless you come with me!"

Finally lost all patience, Danny went through the smoke and looked for Lum.

"Where are you?!" He shouted.

"Here I am!"

Danny looked to where he heard the voice and saw her, on top of a building, waving innocently.

Danny flew to her as fast as he could as she flew to another building.

"You have to catch me!"

She flew off again when she felt something around her horns.

"Oh?"

She felt gloved hands on her horns, and knew who it was.

"Got you!" He said.

"Amazing!" Lum said, genuinely surprised. "Had you used your abilities, you would have won on the first day alone. Why did you not use them?"

"That's my business!" Danny let go of her horns and glared at her. "Go back to your world, and don't come back." He turned and started to fly away.

"But you proposed to me!" She said.

This causes Danny to stop and get angry again.

"I DIDN'T! YOU JUST MISHEARD ME OUT OF CONTEXT!"

He flew to her, throwing a punch at her. However, the sight of her flinching causes him to pause.

She looked afraid of him. Clearly, despite her powers, she's no fighter like him. Danny sighed, despite how annoying she is, Danny doesn't like using his powers on someone who doesn't want to fight back.

He groaned again. "Look…" He lowered his arm. "Maybe we can talk about this peacefully." He suggested.

Lum quickly hugged him, earning another groan from him.


Back in Danny's room, he returns to human form, Lum still clinging to his back, making him practically carry her piggyback and she still won't let go…

"Darling!" Lum said as she cuddled him from behind but Danny had enough.

Danny became intangible, pulled out of her grip and Lum remained floating in the air and pouted in annoyance.

"Lum! You can't live here! If my parents see you, I'm dead and no one must know that an alien is still on this planet, it will cause a total panic." Danny said with his arms crossed and a glare in hopes she got the idea.

Lum refused.

"But darling, I don't want to leave you…it's only natural for married couples to live together." Lum said and Danny screamed in frustration.

'We are not married and I already told you that you have to go back to your own planet!" Danny shouted at her.

"I won't go back to Oniboshi unless you come with me...a wife and her husband must always be together." Lum said defiantly.

Danny finally lost it.

"I AM NOT YOUR HUSBAND! YOU ARE NOT MY WIFE! WE ARE NOT MARRIED! YOU MISUNDERSTOOD WHAT I SAID, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT YOU WERE THERE! SO GET LOST!" Danny shouted at her, only to flinch and take a step back when he saw the look in her eyes.

She looked… heartbroken.

It's obvious that the alien princess wasn't used to being denied what she wanted.

Danny gulped, when all of a sudden… Lum started tearing up, on the verge of tears and Danny gasped when she suddenly dramatically collapse to the ground.

"Wah, and I came all this way because I just want to be with you, my love." Lum said as she started crying and covering her eyes and Danny gulped, his natural guilt over seeing a crying girl was working against him.

"Lum, don't… please don't cry… I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings." Danny said, feeling guilty, wondering if was a little too harsh.

He even placed a hand on her shoulder in an attempt to calm her down. Big mistake, as Lum briefly stopped crying, saw his attempts to comfort her as something romantic and smiled again.

"Darling, you do love me...I am so happy!" Lum shouted as she pounced him, giving off zaps, despite his screams, not that the alien princess noticed.

"AHH!" Danny shouted, but managed to recover thanks to his healing.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door, which was thankfully still locked.

'Danny, son, are you alright?." His father Jack could be heard on the other end.

Danny, in a panic, then covered Lum's mouth, to keep her quiet, while Danny answered.

"I'm fine dad...I...uh...got a paper cut..." Danny lied, lamely.

Thankfully, it seemed to work on his ever gullible, oblivious dad.

"Oh, want me to get you a bandage?" Jack asked.

"No, I got it covered... thanks." Danny said quickly.

He then heard his dad walk away, and then sighed in relief.

"That was way too close…" Danny said in an exhausted voice, only to suddenly find himself in Lum's arms as she gave him bedroom eyes.

"Now, we are alone!" Lum said happily. She is about to kiss him on the cheek again when he phased out of her arms again.

"Go home, Lum. You can't stay here and I belong on Earth." He said seriously.

Lum looked saddened by his insistence. However, as she was about to fly away, she stopped and looked back.

"Why did you lie to father-in-law?" Lum asked.

"He is not your father-in-law and you are not living here… so leave now, before I make you leave." Danny said as he eyes glowered green in a warning, since Lum already saw him use his powers.

However, to his surprise, the alien princess then sent him a look… one that Danny does not like.

"Your father and your mother do not know of your powers, and neither do most of the people on this planet, do they? if they did, they wouldn't have given you such items when you could have easily beaten me with just flying and blasts." Lum said, in a smug sounding tone.

"I… I… uh-"

Danny stammered now and got nervous with the way Lum started to smirk. Like a cat about to corner a mouse and he knew which is which in this scenario. Lum took a step closer to him, that smug look still on her face.

"Darling… marriage is all about compromise, is it not? I will make this one for you… you invite me to live with you here… in your room and I will not tell mother-in-law and father-in-law about your powers." Lum said in a threatening tone of voice.

"You're blackmailing me, now?!" Danny questioned.

"Blackmail sounds so wrong, I am merely making an agreement. Let your loving wife live with you, and we can both live together happily." Lum said and Danny gulped, knowing that she has him where she wants him.

He couldn't believe it. All his life, he wanted a hot girl to be all over him and right now, it's a complete bummer.

But he's not surrendering…not yet anyway…

"And what if I said…I don't care if my parents know?..." Danny said.

"You do care… if not, you wouldn't have done so many stupid stuff to hide your powers during the tag race, and if not your parents, you clearly don't want someone to know…" Lum said, and Danny groaned, realizing that she's a lot smarter than she looks.

It's so unfair, Lum is prettier than Paulina, she flies, she's a princess and she walks around 24/7 in a bikini and she's got the figure to pull it off… why is he so miserable right now?

"I can't believe this." Danny thought in dismay as he looked at Lum, still waiting for his reply.

"Fine.. .you can stay for a while, but you have to make sure that my parents never see you and that no one in Amity Park can find out are still on this planet, as I said, it will only cause a lot of problems." Danny said, while Lum still didn't let go.

"As I said, I am willing to compromise… as long as you invite me properly." Lum said with an edge in her tone.

Danny blinked, until he realized what she means. She flat out wants him to act like he is asking her to live with him.

"You gotta me kiddi-"

Danny was silenced when Lum's hands started charging electricity and Danny knew that he has no out right now.

"Lum?" Danny started, in an angry, indignant sounding voice.

"Yes, darling?" Lum said in a sweet tone of voice, acting like she wasn't totally blackmailing him right now.

It sort of irked Danny a bit.

"Will you please… live with me?" Danny said through his teeth and Lum looked really happy now.

"Oh Darling, yes!" Lum shouted as she hugged him again, zapping him and Danny tried to hold back his screams right now.

Why me?!

That was all he thought… at least before what Lum said next.

She wrapped her arms around him and looked into his eyes, still smiling that smile of hers that right now, unnerved him.

"Now to kiss the bride!" Lum said happily.

"Wha-"

For the next three seconds, Danny felt her lips pressed against his, resulting in a one sided kiss between them. Danny's eyes were wide in shock, while Lum's were closed, obviously enjoying this.

MUAH!

Once it was done, Danny froze then and there as Lum continued to hug him and giggling, still refusing to let him go.

"Oh, darling…we are going to be so happy together...forever…" Lum whispered before stealing another kiss from the already petrified boy.

Once his shock wore off, all that came to his mind was this.

What have I gotten myself into?

Eventually, Lum let himself go, and soon floated around, examining his room.

"Hmm…" Lum said as she looked around his room. "This place is small but I think I can make it work…Now, I suppose, as a married couple, we should sleep in the same bed."

This snaps him out of it and turn red.

"No!" Danny yelled.

Letting her live here is one thing but he has to draw the line somewhere! He is not sharing his bed with her!

Lum looked surprised by his outburst and then giggles, looking at him like he's cute or something.

"You're right… we haven't officially married yet, so we'll wait."

Danny placed his head in his hands and looked totally exasperated.

"Why is this happening to me?" He groaned out loud.

"I guess you're just lucky!" Lum said with her hands behind her back as she tilted to her side a bit, clearly clueless to how upset he is.

Danny groaned again and hit his head against the wall, almost sort of hoping to knock himself out or something but no luck, while Lum just stood there happily.

He really wondered how he is going to get out of this one…


Once again, thank you Flower Princess11.
