The day started like any other for Ataru. He got up, got dressed, teased Lum, ate breakfast and left. However, something caught his attention that made him feel better for the rest of the day. In the mailbox he found a flyer in very flashy colors. It was from a burger shop with the graceful name "Sharp as a Machete". Intrigued, he saw the caption: "If you eat our super-sharp burger that no one has managed to eat we will feed you for free."

„I know who would eat one," he laughed in his lewd way. He knew that the only person he knows who would undertake this successfully is Lum. Just how to convince her?
He thought for a while and came up with a brilliant idea. If he persuaded Lum to weigh in on the pretext of a date at a burger shop, he could eat for free. After all, she always reacted enthusiastically to the phrase "date".

" Lum, let's go truant today," he said affectionately.
" Darling! We can't skip our duties," she chuckled disapprovingly.
" It's only one day," he burbled, "and besides, I wanted to take you on a date"
Ataru knew how to approach Lum. She was pleased, but after a while she added:
" Sure! After class, of course. First the duties, and after that the pleasures!
The joy on Lum's face was immense. Her beloved asked her out on a date, which happens... very rarely, in fact almost never.

Smiling and blushing, Lum sat down in the bench humming under her breath
"Date with a Darling, date with a Darling" which did not escape the Mendou's attention. He, along with the storm troopers aimed to make sure that Ataru could not defile the object of his desire with his person.

Meanwhile, Ataru unsuccessfully tried to court Shinobu, for which he received a juicy blow from the bench and an electric shock from Lum for correction.

" Darling! First you want to take me on a date, and now you are courting Shinobu, how are you not ashamed," she became indignant.
" You're right," Moroboshi became serious, "I shouldn't do that, especially when I want to take you to a fantastic place.
" Darling... " Lum was moved by Ataru's speech
" seafood, delicious burgers, salads " he began to list, at which the alien's eyes became huge at the vision of a date and good food. Especially since this is one of the few dates with her beloved.
Ataru, on the other hand, knew what he was doing, the vision of eating for free motivated him to drag the subject further. For Lum, such a thing is trivial, she liked sharp things.

The lessons were over. Ataru looked more closely at the flyer, where he read that the bar was open until late at night. Looking at the flyer, he noticed a few details: the place was located on a street full of high-end restaurants, while the menu included seafood and salad items in addition to burgers. The decor of the place gave a more intimate atmosphere, perfect for a quiet date. He realized that in order to avoid giving away his true intentions, he should try a little harder. He groomed himself properly, using the best perfume he had in his collection. He donned a smart shirt, jacket, denim pants and topped it off with newly purchased leather shoes. Such things as free food, after all, are rare. He waited patiently for Lum while thinking about what he could eat at the bar today.

When he saw Lum it was intimidated and he quickly turned red. She was wearing a light summer dress in an intense shade of pink that flowed freely around her figure, gently revealing her shoulders. Her green hair was adorned with a headband in the same hue as her unusual eyes. Glittering gold accents on her clothing shone in the moonlight, adding to the overall glow and magic.

" Wow," he responded.
" And how is Darling? " she asked .
" This is how a loving wife can get ready for a date... " he said quietly.
" What did you say? I didn't hear anything?
" You look lovely. " he burbled quickly.
They moved through the moonlit park towards the bar "Sharp as a Machete".

Meanwhile, Mendou and the storm troopers were looking for our enamored couple. They may have seemed to have lost them. Based on residual information and Lum and Ataru's conversation before the lesson began, they figured they would find them at a salad and seafood bar.
" P-Perm," Megane began, "is this where you're sure it is?
" It must be here, as the name suggests there must be seafood here," he replied.
Mendou looked anxiously at the blue neon sign that is the signboard of the bar.
" Lum, I hope you are not defiled by this rag," he mused.
" Let's go! " shouted Megane and they set off in the direction of the "Blue Oyster" bar.

They didn't realize they had made a mistake. They went to a place where they shouldn't have been.

They went inside looking for Lum and Ataru with their eyes. However, there were only muscular men around them, who were undressing them with their eyes.
" Megane " outraged Mendou
" What is it? " he heard
" I don't see that this is a salad bar. " With anger in his head, Shuutaro added.
" But look, they have seafood here " said Perm pointing to the neon signboard "Blue Oyster".
" Well, that's very funny," Megane said nervously.
" What are you looking at me like that, scum? " Mendou assumed a fighting pose at the sight of the fellow dressed in police garb.
" You have an amazing outfit referring to samurai traditions,‖ the guy replied in a lewd manner winking at Shuutaro, " they call me "Scourge", there is my boyfriend with the nickname Pi...
" LET'S GET OUT OF HERE! " Megane and the rest of the troop did not manage to escape. The guests kidnapped them to dance to the song "El Bimbo". It was a long dance that could be described as a "pseudo tango." The rest of the people in the bar lined up around the dancing people, laughing and letting out lewd smiles.
Many hours of dancing went on, in which eventually the disgusted Mendou and his storm troop fell asleep from exhaustion cuddled up with their club mates. Unfortunately, to their anger, especially Shuutaro Shinobu was been here. Seeing her object of sighs, she was shocked.

Mendou ran out after a battle with the male company, but he was wearing a trashcan lid covering his nuts.

At the same time, Lum and Ataru arrived at the "Sharp as a Machete" bar. Indeed, as per the flyer it was a very intimate place. On the tables were placed bouquets of fresh flowers. Warm lighting, the smell of fresh bread and an elegant wooden setting added to the character of the place.
" My Darling made an effort, I feel surprised," mused Lum.
" Haha, just a moment more and there will be a meal " a lot of similar thoughts were going through Moroboshi's head.
" Good morning, what can I get you? " the waiter pulled them out of their thoughts.

Without hesitation Lum took the spiciest burger the bar had on offer. Something caught Ataru's attention - it turned out that in order for him to have a free meal he also had to eat the spiciest dish.
A waiter with big paws served the food to the table. The burgers were so hot that you could feel the heat of the hottest peppers beating in the air.

" Lum... " said Ataru.
" Yes, Darling?
" I understand we have toilet paper in the freezer? " he asked.
" I don't understand why we would keep such things there,‖ she replied, consuming the dish with relish. She was not impressed as Moroboshi had assumed.
" I have no choice, it will be better to be roasted twice than to get ripped off by Lum for my intrigue,‖ he snorted the burger as fast as he could quickly turning all red.
The attendants watched Ataru's reaction to their spiciest specialty. They tried to hold back laughter as they watched Moroboshi's unusual movements.
" What to drink here? " panicked first he patted himself on the back of the neck, then looked around for something to drink.
" It can even be windshield washer fluid,‖ he said in a burnt" out voice.

Lum became concerned about Moroboshi's strange reactions.
" Darling, are you all right? " she asked.
" What to drink here? " Ataru became increasingly feverish.
The spacewoman in quick succession wanted to help her beloved. She took out a small carton of buttermilk from her bag and handed it to her beloved.
" Lum, you always carry such things with you? " he asked.
" No, it's just for today. " she began " I knew it could end like this, that's what!"
„T-thank you," he sighed.

The waiter, seeing the situation, announced the first victory in the history of the bar in eating a super spicy burger. The rest of the customers applauded for such a special achievement. This ensured that Lum had free food that evening. Her beloved didn't win, so he would have had to do without a taste if not for the alien.
" Darling, this date is the best thing in the world! " she said with a huge sparkle in her eyes.
" While one of us is having fun. " thought an annoyed Ataru, but after a while he had a salad on a fork under his nose.
" Darling, AAA. " Lum wanted to feed him.
He opened his mouth and the fish salad went into his mouth, and he liked the taste. It was something different than he could taste so far. It was as if all the best of today was served in the form of food.
" Maybe it's not just about the food itself? " he mused.
Lum laughed and continued eating combined with feeding Ataru. After the free dinner, they thanked for the meal and then headed toward the park. The evening was beautiful, the moon was visible in its full glory in the cloudless sky.
" Lum, look! " shouted Ataru " a falling star. You have to quickly think of a wish, then it will come true. "
" I wish that my Darling would stay by my side forever and not hit on other girls " she thought.

" I actually wish...that it would not end," a voice in Ataru's head rang out, and he turned his gaze to Lum. Their faces came closer and closer to each other and their lips were about to with each other, when suddenly they heard Mendou's voice.
" Moroboshi, you scoundrel! " an enraged Shutaro with the lid from the trash can covering the nuts ran toward Lum and Ataru. Behind them ran the rest of the Storm troopers
" They had to obstructed. " outraged Lum and towards the running boys She brandished an electro-shock. She was very angry that they had spoiled her romantic situation.
Suddenly there was Shinobu with clear consternation on her face. She strolled thoughtfully in the park and, hearing Mendou's loud voice, she quickly she came running over. She saw the boys with trash can lids hiding their jewels, and Lum and Ataru, who didn't quite know how to sum up.
" Can someone please explain what's going on here? " Moroboshi asked.
" It seems that they mixed up the places" said the alien.
" I didn't know Mendou that you are so broken! " upset Shinobu
" And this is said by the one who's be in such "spoiled" places," replied Mendou.

Lum and Ataru watched the argument to smile at each other after a while.
" Let's go home," Moroboshi said to her.
" Surely," she nodded, and secretly leaving the rest of the people they went home...

... with the realization that "only the days we don't yet know are important."
